Men of MJL Photography: Soldier Toy Boy

Every year, as the holiday's approach, I begin to think of themes.  As much as love naked hotties in Santa hats, I like to create pieces that are fresh and visually unique.  Last year, one of my favorite themes was a three page tribute to The Nutcracker. (HERE:)  I'd been wanting to feature the Christmas classic story and ballet for awhile, but had trouble finding new and original visuals.

If only I'd had this set of images of the hot boy toy soldier Nix, shot by Men of MJL Photography.  I've previously featured the work of Michael, the artist behind MJL Photography, (HERE:) and was looking to feature more of his work.  It was Nix who inspired this Nutcracker theme who suggested using the cute hat, (helmet) that he owed.  Michael is constantly creating exciting visuals, and seems to love holiday themed imagery as much as I do!  Hopefully I'll be able to share more in the future!



New Manhattan Studios: One Night Only


One night only, one night only 
Come on, big baby, come on 
One night only 
We only have 'til dawn

Some long time readers might recognize these two sexy elves.  I first featured Jingle and Bells (Alex & Mark) in their shoot with Wes from New Manhattan Studios back in 2016. (HERE:)  This year, I asked Wes if he had any edits that we didn't share before.  After digging back into his archives, he sent on these new shots of the mischievous scamps during their one and only night home alone...

As you all know, elves work diligently and arduously 364 days a year.  They have just one night only, when their Boss is away to let loose and enjoy a bit of puckish play.  From sundown on Christmas Eve until sunrise on Christmas Day is their window for whimsy, and as you can see, Jingle and Bells make the most of their time home alone.

FH viewers have enjoyed spending time with this pixie pair before.  I've been lucky to have featured Jingle, (Alex) on the site many times over the years, (HERE:)  Bells, (Mark) was spreading Christmas magic previously, decorating Gordon Nebeker's Christmas tree, for a feature back in 2019. (HERE:)  I'm guessing that many of the models at NMS also partake in a little flirtatious fun when their boss Wes is otherwise occupied.  Unfortunately, with Wes and his camera otherwise engaged, it's difficult to find photographic evidence.  I will certainly however, keep digging... I hear there's a hot red haired PA who may have some secrets to share.

North Pole Naughtiness by TR Pics


Twas the Great Day of CHRISTMAS
Words & Visuals by Tom Rubeck (TR Pics)


I often suggest crazy themes and ideas to photographers and models.  Even online, I can often 'feel' the eye rolls through the fibre optics. Tom from TR Pics however, has never transmitted an eye roll, even when I asked for a hot naked male model in the massive paw of King Kong.  If you're a regular reader of FH, you know that Tom is always up for a creative challenge.

This year, I wanted to do a FH twist on the classic shot of Santa with with a naughty elf.  I also wanted to switch things up by using Kenny B as Santa.  If you've seen my previous posts featuring Kenny, you know he's seems in charge, and more likely to be the spanker, than the spankee...  As usual, Tom took the idea and not only created this series, but complete story to go along with it.  Thank you Tom, Kenny and Luca for bringing your North Pole Naughtiness to life!

Ear Buds: Last Christmas


Last Christmas I gave you my heart
 But the very next day you gave it away


Some say we should stop making new Christmas music.  That there's plenty out there, and nothing really new to be said our sung.  I sort of agree, yet there have been some great songs since those Christmas classics were written, including the 1985' Wham holiday song, Last Christmas. We also wouldn't have gotten George Michael's 2006 live performance at Wembley Arena.

A Vintage Vantage:


'Remembrance, like a candle, burns brightest at Christmastime.'
Charles Dickens


As is tradition at FH, each Christmas, I try to include some vintage holiday pics in my posts.  This year, they don't back as far as the ones I usually post, these, all color shots, while I usually post black and whites.  They're also a bit of a smorgasbord of images I've not featured in previous posts.  I've identified a few, and most appear to be from the 60's, 70's and a couple from the 80's.

Up on the Housetop 🧱


Up on the housetop, click, click, click, 
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick!

Who remembers listening for sounds of Santa on the rooftop on Christmas Eve?  Surely all of those reindeer could not keep their hoofs from clomping along the wood and roof shingles. As we get older older of course, our dreams evolve to wishing for other things to slide down our chimneys and leave a gift.  Santa always went all out at Christmas, and Lucerys always goes artistically all out with his holiday imagery.  Not many models would climb atop a snowy roof, totally naked, to recreate the lyrics to a Christmas classic1 

Treats 'Neath the Tree: Bobby by Shax Carter


He'll fly so far, across the night, 
A tired smile in pale moonlight. 
These treats will give him strength and cheer
The present, my awaiting rear


Good little boys, worried about getting presents, try their best to please St. Nicholas.  They leave cookies and milk near the tree to ensure Santa's happy, and their gift haul is bountiful.   Naughty boys however, know they need to provide a bit more than just some sugar and dairy.   We're taught it's better to give than to receive, but naughty boys know that receiving, can be the most generous of gives. 


Bobby knows he wasn't exactly the nice and virtuous boys though out 2025.  It was a tough year for many, so a little sensual excitement was certainly required.  So this year, he decided Santa might appreciate a little nasty with his naughty.  With that in mind, he didn't spend the 24th baking cookies or pouring milk, he prepared in other ways for his scheduled Santa seduction. 


There wasn't a need for a plate or a mug, 
Just his presenting backside on the living room rug
At midnight he slipped on his hat and jock strap
To stimulate Santa, to empty his sac


Although his Christmas Eve plans were carefully planned, Bobby's appearance on FH was a more fortuitous event.   Last week, when I posted the work of photographer Shax Carter, he was in the middle of shooting this series with Bobby.  They then took a little break from shooting to check out the piece on Shax's work with Damian and Shawn. (HERE:)  Shax then sent me a message about the post, and a preview of what he and Bobby were creating.


Never one to miss an opportunity, I thought Shax and Bobby's yuletide yields would be a perfect present for Christmas Eve.   When Shax and I talked about subjects for a December post, I was actually hoping to feature his work with Bobby.  Shax in the middle of shooting a multi-book series with the hot, 19 year old model. the first in the series,, Bobby's Beach Adventures Part I, was just released earlier this month on Blurb. 


'Bobby is a fantastic model!  This was our third shoot since we first met and worked together in early September. What I enjoy most about working with Bobby is his spontaneity in front of the camera. He not only follows what I suggest, he challenges me to push the envelope.'


Given how beautifully they creatively connected,  Shax's initial thought wasn't to turn their body of work into a travelogue.  Going with the flow of their first shoots however, Shax decided putting Bobby where he was most comfortable, on the beach, was the way to go.   

These images, from the third shout took Bobby a little out of his sand filled comfort zone.  This led to Bobby explore the deeper and more personal aspects of modeling which Shax is looking forward to sharing.   You can check out the results of their earlier shoots, and see more, (i.e all..) of Bobby in Bobby's Beach Adventures, Part 1 on Blurb HERE:


 Then off he'll go, with jingling bells, 
Leaving presents and some magic spells. 
But first he'll taste my, a gift from me 
Given with love, on a bended knee
