The cigar turns me off (for obvious reasons) but beyond that it seems to distort the model's face to make what looks like a reasonably attractive man into Fritz, the hunchbacked assistant of Doctor Frankenstein.

That's Joe Oppedisano's style. The image is tastier unsensored, WITH the cigar.

I'm curious, what are the "obvious reasons"?

[barak]

1. Unhealthy.
2. Smelly.
3. Unattractive.

If a cigar is just a cigar, you need to be smoking better cigars or having sex while you or both of you are smoking them.

I'm trying as best I can, Dadd--- er, Steve.

Funny, I purchased BeefMag @ a Different Light and saw the new Bear's Life rag... Why, gawd, why would we need this? BeefMag's still better'n what's masquerading as BEAR these days. Air brushed muscle in fur suits, and it's all images that've run on their butchbear website for years. Why pay for the rag if it's all reruns anyway? W/e.

Yup, that's why I was looking at the mag in Different Light.

I think this photo is pretty hot, and the cigar just amps it up. At least it looks like he knows how to chomp on one. It sometimes makes me laugh that people are hyper-critical of beefcake. He looks good to me out of focus or not.

Although I want to say, put the newspaper down, Mr. Executive.

btw, I got around to smoking one of those LX2 gars you sent me. Goddam, it kicked my ass.

Oh? What color jock were you wearing?

I've been giving the red one a rest and wearing my old black lately...

[bearbrat]

Basic black, eh? No pearl necklace?
