As the Spiderman saying goes, “With great power comes awesome shirtless selfies…”
(photo: Honeybee’s Photography) How much do I love this photoshoot?I’m pretty sure this is the exact opposite of ‘toxic masculinity.’ Photographer Kait Lewis, who lives in Virginia, recently posted this collection of photos to Facebook featuring her fiancé, Devon (bearded), and his bestie since 8th grade, Trevor. Lewis recently launched her own family photography studio, Honeybee’s Photography, and when Trevor (who lives hours away) came to visit, she suggested the fun, lighthearted photo shoot. Both men are straight and have no issues in expressing their friendship. And did I mention they’re both totally woofy?(photo: Honeybee’s Photography)(photo: Honeybee’s Photography) “How hilarious is this session?” wrote Lewis on Facebook. “My fiancé’s bestie came to town so I jumped at the opportunity to capture their *unique* friendship!” She prefaced the post with a ‘Viewer Discretion Advised’ tag which apparently confused a few folks. “I LOVE these photos!” wrote one gay man in the comments. “It’s important to show two men can have a friendship like this and it be completely okay. Disappointed in the ‘viewer discretion advised.’ I saw that you said you’re a family-friendly business, but if this were a male-female couple, or two female friends the advisory wouldn’t be there. As a gay man, I’m disappointed because it only perpetuates male physical contact as inappropriate which encourages fragile masculinity and homophobia.” Lewis later added that it was the inclusion of alcohol and the suggestive poses, not the men’s genders, that prompted the advisory tag. “The viewer discretion was added because I am a family friendly photographer and the sexual posing and alcohol needed to be warned to AVOID offending people,” said Lewis. “It has nothing to do with the genders. Everybody’s interpretation on what is sexual and what is not is very different.” “I stand by the advisory and will not be removing it,” she added. “I wasn’t anticipating this post to reach 6,000,000+ people in a matter of 2 days. Unfortunately, with a lot of views, comes a lot of opinions and you can’t please everybody.” “If you are offended by ANY of this (the photos or the caption), feel free to keep scrolling.” (photo: Honeybee’s Photography)(photo: Honeybee’s Photography) The photos picture Devon and Trevor walking hand in hand wearing daisy duke shorts, hugging it out, pouring beer in each other’s mouths, and even recreating a famous moment from the film Titanic. Lewis playfully suggested in her post that Busch Beer should sponsor her. (photo: Honeybee’s Photography)(photo: Honeybee’s Photography) And while some photographers may have issues with shooting same-sex couples, Lewis said she would “absolutely” welcome the opportunity to photograph LGBTQ couples and weddings. “People who refuse clients for any reason regarding who they love is beyond me,” Lewis recently told Queerty. “It’s baffling, disgusting, and downright ridiculous. The sex of the people getting married makes no difference to me.” Since sharing the photos on September 7, the post has been shared over 42K times and received 24K comments. The vast majority of Facebookers applauded the fun and spirit of the shoot. “Thank you for sharing the story of their friendship and your love together! I love it!” wrote one woman. Another commented, “The photography is beautiful, the friendship is next level, and these guys are hilarious & adorable! It’s obvious they’re having a great time!” (photo: Honeybee’s Photography) More responses: “Men comfortable enough in their sexuality to appreciate a bromance. It’s truly heartwarming. These guys are amazing.”“These are fantastic.. a true friendship… bromance at its best. Good for them.”Thank you for breaking down the barriers! I love when men are open enough to love their friends and show it.”“If you have never been around men in the military then you might not understand the closeness that some men are able to share due to either a long relationship or a relationship forged in tough circumstances. I feel sorry for people that will never be this close to each other.” Lewis and Devon plan to tie the knot on April 10, 2021. Congratulations to the happy couple. You can view all the photos from the shoot on Honeybee’s Photograph Facebook page here and check out the official website here. (photo: Honeybee’s Photography)

(image via sadanduseless) Some news items you might have missed: • Summer Fashion: So, I don’t know if it’s a ‘thing’ but someone is apparently trying to make lace shorts for guys (above) a ‘thing’ this summer? #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm • Washington Blade: In yet another attack by the Trump administration to enable legal discrimination against LGBTQ people, the Justice Department is calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to allow religious-affiliated adoption agencies that receive tax-payer dollars to refuse child placement into LGBTQ homes. • Out Music: 80s pop icon Limahl (“Neverending Story”, “Only For Love”, “Too Shy” with Kajagoogoo) returns with “Still in Love,” his first foray into the mainstream in over eight years. American Songwriter calls the new track “a soulful and sultry pop ode to the darker side of love, that recurrent backfire of amore, and finding oneself after being crushed by it.”
• Buzzfeed News: A police officer in Salem, Oregon, was caught on video warning a group of white supremacists to seek shelter before the police were planning to tear gas the area and avoid being arrested for violating a curfew so officers “don’t look like [they’re] playing favorites.” • Newsweek: Donald Trump finally got his wall/fence. But instead of being a barrier on the U.S. southern border, it’s a barricade around the White House. I’m sure you can parse the irony on your own. • The Advocate: Police fired bang shots at a queer bar owner in North Carolina after he’d set up a first aid station in his parking lot to treat peaceful protestors who had gotten injured.

(all images – David Ryo) It’s Hump Day and you know what makes getting to the end of the week just a little easier? Man Candy! Launched in 2014, Mister Global is a male pageant that promotes environmental awareness. The 2019 edition, recently held in Bangkok on September 26, chose ‘Inspiring Gentleman’ as its theme. Kitti Kamjunsa, a spokesperson for the pageant, told BoredPanda the theme was chosen because “We believe that the contestants and titleholders should motivate and inspire people.” This year’s pageant raised funds for an organization that takes care of elephants in Thailand, which was the host country for 2019. Mister Global names its Top 16 contestants, and this year it was Korea’s Jong Woo Kim that came out on top. Tunisia’s Houssem Saïdi snatched the second place crown, and Spain’s Jose Luis Rodrigo came in third. Check out the swimsuit competition below. I notice Mr. USA kinda has some attitude when he walks out. Later in the clip, you see the Top 16 do solo walks, and he’s not one of them, so…there you go.
One category that receives a lot of attention is the National Costume Show that allows contestants to showcase and celebrate clothing that represents their country. Some of the costumes are extremely ornate and sophisticated designs that spotlight the country’s heritage, some utilize the colors and design of a country’s flag, and some (to be honest) are meant to go viral on social media. Each of the 38 contestants was captured by photographer David Ryo, and there’s definitely something for everyone. Some of the costumes were stunning, some were a little…surprising? We’re looking at you, Mr. Sweden and Mr. USA. Here’s just ten that caught my eye in no particular order. You can see them all on the Mister Global Facebook page here. Plus, there’s the shirtless pics for all the men on the official Instagram page. Let me know what you think in the comments.
Whoo! So busy here at Randy Report Central! Gotta love a pot of coffee.
I’ve been on a blogging roll this morning, but stopping and alternating hours with working on choreography for South Pacific at San Diego Musical Theatre. We started rehearsals last night and open April 28. So, if you’re in the area come check out the show!
I’m getting up to get some sunlight on my face like Dr. Marco (above) who’s not only a fitness trainer but a medical student!
Here’s some more outdoor Hump Day eye-candy to help you get to Friday 🙂
A photo posted by Ricky (@ricky_martin) on Apr 15, 2016 at 9:59pm PDT
While Ricky Martin hasn’t previously confirmed that he’s seeing Swedish artist Jwan Yosef, I’m guessing the “Yup” caption on this pic from Brazil is his casual way of sharing the news.
Martin has been spotted all over the globe with Yosef, from Japan to Malibu to New York to Puerto Rico in recent weeks.
Being late April, it’s possible you already have your 2014 calendar on the wall.
However, there’s always room for one more daily dose of hunkiness.
The soldiers of the Royal Marines offering features a black-and-white photo shoot by prize-winning photographer Emily Nolan with the ripped soldiers in various states of undress for a charity calendar celebrating 350 years of the Royal Marines.
All for a good cause! Funds raised by sales of the calendar will go towards goals such as childcare and sports facilities for the RM as well as educational grants, among other projects. The 2013 edition raised over £120,000.
The calendar costs just £5 and can be purchased through Go Commando’s online store.
