Together, We Are America
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
There is nothing like a message of love and unification to get MAGA in a lather, even if it's a faux fit. It's clear they don't read the bible. (When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born.) It's also clear they don't read The Constitution, nor the values the country was founded on, equality been one of the biggies.
They are a bunch of bigoted and hateful whiners, who whine over everything. That's why the Super Bowl was so incredible. Between Brandi Carlile, Charlie Puth and especially Bad Bunny, it was a inclusive celebration based on coming together and showcasing what makes America special. Topping on the cake was The Seahawks, a California team, winning the game.
El domingo estábamos todos Molly Shannon
This past Sunday, so many of us were doing the Molly Shannon, (Above) in our heads anyway. Bad Bunny represents the best of what America, and the America's have the potential to be. No wonder he's so threatening to so many self loathers. Regardless of his huffing and puffing, the orange anus really is the king of self loathing. It's why he lashes out, that's what self haters do.
Stripping With the Stars?
No, there's not a reality show called Stripping With The Stars, but it's not a bad idea. I know there was The Real Full Monty on Fox in 2024, but there were certainly not any full Monty's, not even a partial Monty to be seen. There are however, versions of reality shows in other parts of the world with much less of American puritan influences.
The Argentine version of Dancing With the Stars, Bailando por un Sueño, (Dancing for a Dream) is a dance competition that premiered back in 2006. Both shows are versions of the British reality TV competition Strictly Come Dancing. The Argentine version is hosted by Marcelo Tinelli. Unlike other versions, which pair professional dancers with celebrities, Bailando paired amateur dancers with the professionals as they purse their dancing dreams.
Back in the show's 2011 season, amateur Argentine dancer Mónica González was paired with professional dancer Maximiliano D'Iorio. (Maxi Diorio) Neither seemed to mind stripping down for their numbers with Maxi often wearing just a G-string for his dances. This was nothing new for Maxi, who also spent a number of years working as a male stripper. Host Marcelo Tinelli seemed to enjoy showing off Maxi's body, as you can see from the clip below.
There was one particular dance where González and Maxi went even further with Maxi's G-Strip peeled off and both contestants completely naked by the end of the dance. You don't see too much, some hot shots of Maxi's great butt, but it is a hot number. It's from 2011, so some of you may have seen it before, but the clip was brand new to me.

Andrew Bowman: Tanked
Hump Day
Tank Top Edition
Last November, I began a series featuring a collection of posterior photos from photographer Andrew Bowman. (HERE:) I think most FH viewers are keenly aware of my passion for visuals of male buns. It's really the only round part of the male form, and when skillfully shot, creates the most stunning lines and curves.
Andrew is one of my favorite chroniclers of the curve, and when he sent on his selection of hump day shots for me to choose from, I was overwhelmed with not just the amount, the many unique ways, themes and fashion pieces he utilized in the spotlighting of the stern.
Today, the theme is clearly the tank top. I use the words tank top with intent. As someone who works in social services, I can't bring myself to use the term wife beater. I know it's become part of the culture, and I know it goes back decades to cinematic depictions. Marlon Brando looked incredibly hot wearing one as Stanley Kowalski, but many forget that Kowalski was a rapist and violent abuser.
I also don't really like undershirt or singlet. They seem a little old fashion, and were words my parents used to say. My father wore his 'singlet' to work out, and mom screamed at us to ensure we had on our undershirt during the winter months. I like tank top, it's unisex, and given it's increased popularity in fashion, it's now a top, no longer something lying under another piece of clothing.
The tank top theme continues Andrew's love of capturing the Donald Duck theme. Just like the famous dapper waterfowl, , Andrew enjoys shooting many of his models dressed on top, but completely naked below the waste.
I know why I love visuals spotlighting the male butt, I'm still often amazed so many photographers don't seem to appreciate it's visual assets and photographic potential. I was curious what about the male bottom Andrew looks for when shooting the male derrière...
As a photographer, what makes a good butt?
AB: Generally I prefer quite muscular butts, round and peachy. Swimmers have great butts, as do dancers. I have shot a couple of ballet dancers who gave me rear curtain calls which was impressive to see.
The same model appears in both the image above, and the image below. I previous featured Anthony, and his differing hair lengths and styles in a 2012 post on the site. (The Coiffure Conversion)
