R.I.P Columbo!


Peter Falk had an impressive resume before signing on to play Lt. Columbo in 1968 but the character which he played through 2003 left a lasting impression on many. R.I.P Mr. Falk.

Marseilles: Bryan Feray by Pierre-Yves Monnerville



Marseille is France's second largest city after Paris. The city enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with it's summer lasting over six months from late April through October. Marseille is France's largest commercial port and largest French city on the Mediterranean coast. The costal city is also the home of 22 year old model Bryan Feray.



Bryan is a model I have wanted to feature on FH for some time. Bryan has a great look, strong, confident and a body and face beyond sexy. Photographer Pierre-Yves Monnerville (whom I first profiled this past May in Solitary Man: by Pierre-Yves Monnerville) recently had the opportunity to capture the the model on a beach in Marseilles and as you can see the results are breath taking!



Bryan lives in Marseilles and I was due to spend 2 days in Nice. I was browsing Model Mayhem to see who was around the area and came across Bryan's impressive profile. After the 1st contact he said that if I arranged his transport he could meet me anywhere. I ended up going to Marseilles though!

Those photos were shot on a nudist beach in Marseilles where Bryan usually goes to sunbathe. Bryan is straight but obviously very open minded and incredibly mature. You can tell he's been through a lot. He told me: "thank god for gay photographers. Nobody would bother taking photos of men otherwise!".

Pierre-Yves Monnerville



Thanks To Pierre-Yves for sharing this amazing set with FH. Bryan Feray, a french beach, the rocks the ocean and the work of Pierre-Yves Monnerville. If anyone needed another reason to book a ticket to Marseilles these shots should do it!

Broadway Bares: Andy Mills & Robin De Jesus in 'Monet'



Being on vacation, my Broadway Bares coverage is a bit lae, but I will be sharing some of my favorite moments from the show. First up (at the suggestion of a special someone...) is the Monet inspired number featuring the 'aw shucks' adorable Andy Mills.



Tony nominee Robin De Jésus, In The Heights, played a mischievous frog in a game of bootie hide and froggie seek with Memphis' Andy Mills and his group of country boys – set among a Monet-inspired lily pond, represented by rippling screens of hand-painted silk.

The FH Curse....



It has been years since I watched a daytime soap. I have so little free time as it is. I do have fond memories of Another World after school with my mother and The Young and the Restless with friends when I was in university. With the cancellations of so many shows (and the appeal of watching quickly with the DVR) I decided to give another show a shot. I started DVR'ing Days Of Our Lives several months ago, mainly because of two very hot new additions to the show. (Bren Foster (above) HERE: Francisco San Martin (below) HERE:)



I cannot say I fully got into the show (erased many episodes before watching) but the cast overall (especially the phenomenal Crystal Chappell) made it worth continuing. Sadly the show recently dumped a slew of cast members, including Crystal and the two guys I profiled. I say sadly because given the state of soaps, the show was incredibly dumb to fire one of it's best actress's and two actors who were not on long enough to establish a fan base. Neither actor (San Martin in particular) was blowing it away acting wise, but both were growing and just beginning to find their footing. To spend time finding actors only to turf them just as viewers are starting to enjoy them does not seem wise. I know the show is bringing on some old favorites but I think my brief entry back into soap viewing might be coming to an end. These 'old' favorites hold no interest to me, I never watched them then, not sure I care to now.



I am hesitant to write what I do like as the show seems to fire anyone FH profiles, but...the one storyline which might keep me tuning in for a short while anyway, is the much hyped 'gay' storyline which began this week. Just new to the show is Freddie Smith (last seen being hit upon by Trevor Donovan on 90210). Smith was instantly watchable and highly adorable in his first appearance this week. Chandler Massey (Will) is also extremely cute and extremely likable. Might just have to see where this goes....
