graduation

Besides my adventures in modeling and in Mexico since my last post, I also attended a graduation.

A friend of mine graduated from college a few weeks ago. 

Cody

Cody dispensed with the shirt, tie and slacks. I guess he stayed true to himself. He is a surfer dude. He wore a tank top and shorts just like he usually does.

He did wear the cap and gown during the ceremony. But underneath the formal garb, he was surfer dude.

I was trying to look smart next to the college graduate.

Btw I, too, dispensed with the shirt and tie. We had a beach party to go to -- a graduation beach party for the college boy.

Going to his graduation reminded me of my own time in college.

Do you think I looked studious back then?

We probably partied too much.

These are some of the respectable pictures of me while I was in college.

speedos

I don't wear speedos, at least not publically when I'm in LA.

where the magic happens

There must be something in the water in Mexico, because I had the urge to go public wearing speedos when I was in Mexico during a recent modeling gig.

Wearing a speedo did feel liberating. Although it felt liberating, I am not sure I will be wearing a speedo any time soon in LA.

leather and model

When I do a photo shoot, I am usually not the only model there. 

Most of the time, I didn't know any of them. The models that I have worked with in the past were all professionals. And they conducted themselves professionally. It was after all a work environment.

I do chit chat with the other models that I work with. Once in a while there is flirting going on.

Sometimes there are moments of laughter and fun.

During a recent photo shoot, something unusual happened. During a break in the action, another model "modeled" for us.

Actually, it was more of a striptease show. I pretended to be the photographer while he "modeled". 

You can mix pleasure with business, as long as you pick the right moments.

tropical south of the border

I know it's been a while since my last post.

I have been kind of busy with work -- my regular job as well as new modeling opportunities. Also, I have been spending quite a bit of time working on a new relationship that I got into.

A designer, that I have modeled for before, has given me the opportunity to model for her on a longer term basis. Of course, I am not giving up on my massage therapy business. For the most part, I have managed to work around my work schedule. I am happy that she likes my modeling abilities.

So far, a number of photo shoots, that she has hired me for, has taken place in Mexico. I have stayed in some very nice resort hotels in Baja while doing the shoots. I am thankful for the opportunity.
