New Kid on the Block

RUNNING A MODEL AGENCY REALLY ISN’T THAT EASY A JOB. WHAT IS TI THAT CHARACTERIZES A PERSON TO HAVE THE PERFECT LOOK, THE PERFECT PHYSICS, THE PERFECT ATTITUDE. HOW CAN YOU DECIDE WHICH ONE OF THE MANY PORTFOLIOS AND RESUMES THAT END UP ON YOUR DESK IS THE ONE. INTUITION? WHATEVER IT IS, IT MUST BE THRILLING TO ACTUALLY COME UPON THAT ONE PERSON THAT STANDS OUT, THAT REALLY HAS THE POTENTIAL. THAT NEW KID ON THE BLOCK.

Model agents are dealing with it every day. You probably would be surprised to know how many resumes of hopeful young men and women arrive on daily base in the mailboxes of the individual agencies. So it must be pretty exciting if one morning, when you open your mail, you look into that one face that you knew your were looking for without knowing it.

Guy Delfo is only 19 years old and the latest discovery of Empire Modeling Management. Guy is typical that person who can stare at you from a photo, giving you goose bumps and making you feel you found the one. Guy is so fresh that he isn’t even added to the online portfolio of the agency yet. The thrill of finding a new talent must be as exciting for a photographer as it is for an agent. So it only seems logical that this photographer, who was one of the first to have the chance to get Guy in front of his camera, wants to share this with the rest of the world. And that is where we come in place.

Guy Delfo in jeans, in swimwear, in underwear and in… well.. pretty much no wear. Thomas Synnamon did it all when he had the chance to shoot Guy, and shared it all with us. Too much for today so forced to make the tough decision to cut some out, we decided to bring you this selection of Guy Delfo, a new kid that without doubt will go far. Know that there is a lot more where this came from, so if you want to see it, you just have to ask. –B-

Costin Bucura according to Mircea Gheorghe

IF THERE IS ONE THING WE COULD LEARN FROM THE OLD GREEKS IT IS THE FACT THEY WERE THE FIRST TO RECOGNIZE THE BEAUTY IN SPORTS AND ATHLETICS. LOOKING AT THE HUMAN BODY IN ALL ITS NATURAL BEAUTY AS A PIECE OF ART. AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT MIRCEA GHEORGHE DID WHEN WORKING WITH COSTIN BUCURA.

"As it is the case with many passions, everything started in early childhood. While my parents were working, my brother would take care of me, resulting in him taking me everywhere he went. Including the gym. My brother used to be a professional bodybuilder, and me, being the younger one and idolizing him, I tried to copy whatever he did. We were spending so much time in the gym, it soon became a second home for me."

Costin Bucura’s life has always been characterized my sports. You could almost say that it is in his DNA. Ever since he was a kid he practiced athletics, gymnastics and even ballet. The last few years he concentrated his activities mostly on two sports: karate and fitness. At the age of 25 he turned karate into a profession, which landed him several silver and a golden medal between 2002 and 2005. Both on European and global championships. Costin participated for the first time in a fitness championship in 2008. He became third at the European championship, and fifth in the World Championship in that same year. Now, while still being active in competitive sports, he also extended his career being a personal trainer and aerobics and tae bo trainer.

We introduced you to Mircea Gheorghe and his fantastic talent earlier this year. Impressed as we were with his work, we have been waiting for another chance to show you some of this talented Romanian photographer. And that opportunity presented itself with this series of Costin Bucura: a gallery of portraits that perfectly combines the art of a sculpted body with black and white photography. If the ancient Greeks would have had the opportunity to make photographs, we can imagine their art would look something like the study Mircea did with Costin: dramatic poses with flexed and stretched muscles. A great example of talents coming together. –B-

BeautifulMag Cover Story | Playing Doctor

PLAYING DOCTOR, A CHILD’S GAME WITH AN INNOCENT CURIOSITY TOWARDS THE OTHER SEX, IS PROBABLY THE PLAY MOST FORBIDDEN MY CHILDREN’S PARENTS. SIMPLY BECAUSE PLAYING DOCTOR FOR THEM HAS A VERY DIFFERENT MEANING. LET’S FACE IT, WHO WOULDN’T LIKE TO UNWRAP A WILLING VICTIM AND CHECK IF EVERYTHING UNDER THOSE BANDAGES STILL WORKS WELL…

Some time ago we mentioned the fact how Dean Stockings was running around the house to find all kinds of  jobs to do for which he than could hire a – preferably young and hot looking – handyman. That concept for which we already featured Alex Prinz [Home Improvement] and David White [Tough Jobs for Dean Stockings]. Dean is a creative guy who seems to be in a quest to full fill all his – and our – fantasies. Playing doctor is undoubtedly one of them. "I used to play that when I was at primary school, and we always used to end up examining each others naughty parts," Dean remembers with a smile. Working with Eduardo Couto gave Dean Stockings the opportunity to visualize this old fantasy.

Eduardo Couto was born on November 21 in the year 1985. Having lived all his life in the state of Mato Grosso in Brazil, Eduardo decided about three years ago to pack his bags and step on a plane to the United Kingdom. There were two reasons for this. "I always wanted to learn English and also experience the English culture," Eduardo explains. "I also come from a very conservative family and that was one of the reasons why I decided to leave my hometown. I knew I was gay but I couldn’t come out there." Leaving his family and his life behind was the toughest decision Eduardo ever made, but he doesn’t regret doing it. Living in London he has been able to do exactly that what he wanted to do. And more.

Eduardo’s biggest dream is to become a successful journalist. In the meantime he works as a model, and is successful in that as well. Freedom-loving, strong-willed and independent-minded, 23 year old Eduardo is on a constant search for variety and mental stimulation, and exploring new sides of himself in front of a camera certainly helps him doing that. But whatever his reasons are, we are just happy he does it. Whether it is showing underwear or unwrapping bandages, Eduardo is a pleasure for the eye. –B-

Dylan Rosser's Meatpacking Adventure

THE MEATPACKING DISTRICT IN NEW YORK IS KNOWN AS THE CITY’S MOST FASHIONABLE NEIGHBORHOOD, HOUSING MANY HIGH END BOUTIQUES, RESTAURANTS AND EXCLUSIVE CLUBS. BUT THE NAME OF THE AREA INDICATES IT WASN’T ALWAYS LIKE THAT. A LITTLE OVER A CENTURY AGO IT WAS HOME TO NEW YORK'S LARGEST MEAT INDUSTRY. RECENTLY DYLAN ROSSER SETTLED DOWN IN THE MEATPACKING DISTRICT FOR A FEW DAYS AND ONE CAN’T HELP WONDERING IF WHAT HE DID THERE WAS IN SOME WAY A TRIBUTE TO THE MEATPACKING HISTORY.

Few cities are subject to dramatic changes as the city of New York, specially considering it only exist little under 400 years. One of the areas that has seen drastic transformation is the Gansevoort Market, better known as the Meatpacking District. Once home to 250 slaughterhouses and packing plants, it became notorious being a dangerous neighborhood known for drug dealing and prostitution in the 1980’s. Towards the end of the 1990’s the Meatpacking District went though yet another transformation and offered home to high end boutiques such as Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney and Diana von Furstenberg, restaurants such as Buddha bar and Pastis and exclusive clubs.

After having followed Dylan Rosser's photographic career, it is no surprise the London based, South African artist has a great passion for the United States. Since Dylan doesn’t shoot fashion or commissioned work, he always faces the challenge in finding an affordable place that both offers accommodation as shooting possibilities. On his latest trip to New York City he found exactly that in the Meatpacking District, in a hotel that came with floor to ceiling windows and a great city view. The perfect setting for a great session, all that was left to do for Dylan was line up a couple of guys to shoot. And that is exactly what Dylan did, with Bryan, Michael, Sam and Rick. Look at these great shots and you tell us why this area is called the Meatpacking District…

During the weekend of shooting the weather turned out to be not so nice, with grey skies and rain showers. It wasn’t the idea situation for Dylan Rosser, who would have prefered  clear blue sky backdrops, but then again, the heavy sky turned out to be a perfect setting for an area that has such a turbulent history. All together the result of Dylan’s meat packing weekend is one worth to be displayed and admired. Hence we bring you a selection of portraits of Sam, Bryan and Michael. What about the earlier mentioned Rick, we hear you asking. Don’t worry, we safe him for later.

In October this year, Dylan will release his second book – Red – which for sure will follow the success of his first publication X-posed. Red will be and absolute must for the Rosser fan. If not to see once again some of his great work in print, than for sure because Red will feature work that has never been featured on Dylan Rosser’s website before. –B-

ES Collection Fall/Winter 2009-2010

BETWEEN THE BORDERS OF FRANCE AND SPAIN, SURROUNDED BY THE RUGGED PEAKS OF THE PYRENEES MOUNTAINS LIES THE SIXTH SMALLEST NATION OF EUROPE: ANDORRA. BECAUSE OF ITS LOCATION IT OFFERS GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY SNOW RELATED ACTIVITY. FOR SOME REASON ANDORRA IS ALSO KNOWN FOR HAVING THE HIGHEST HUMAN LIFE EXPECTANCY, DUE TO A HEALTHY WAY OF LIVING. ADD TO THIS ALL THAT IT IS ONLY A SMALL DISTANT AWAY FROM BARCELONA AND YOU HAVE THE PERFECT LOCATION FOR SHOOTING THE NEW FALL/WINTER 2010 LINE OF ES COLLECTION.

Barcelona based ES Collection, the high quality Spanish swim- and underwear brand, is definitely on its way to become a big player on the international underwear market. Hat start as a brand that offers comfortable and fashionable products, has become a real lifestyle brand, and thus ES has adopted that given has their new concept. Something that comes perfectly to life with their new Fall/Winter 2009-2010 collection and the accompanying campaign.

Besides his creations, ES Collection owner Eduardo Suñer is passionate about mountains and nature, and the activities it allows you to do, such as skiing and biking. Shooting his latest collection in the Andorran snow was a dream come true for him. “Sport, mountains, positive attitude, healthy life and green environment. A love for Mother Nature, that is what we wanted to say with this campaign and with our new products,” Edu explains. The product speaks for itself, but what you don’t see at first glance is the introduction of bamboo fabric, which is completely in line with ES Collection’s new direction.

Being a 100% Spanish brand, ES Collection decided to use real Spanish men for its campaign. The three guys - Jesús, Octa and Will – all come from the sunny Canary Islands, so shooting underwear in the snow must have been quite a challenge for them. “Saturday was OK, with a temperature between 10 and 5 degrees Celsius, but Sunday it was cold and windy and it dropped 5 degrees,” Eduardo remembers with grin. “The guys were amazing though. Not being used to this kind of weather, they seemed to have the best time skiing and playing in the snow, both with and without underwear.” As before, photographer Joan Crisol signs off on the tasteful and energetic imagery that brings the ES products so well to life.

Looking at the Fall/Winter 2009-2010 line it becomes obvious the products have little to do with what ES Collection brought before: there are two basic cuts, the low rise brief and mid boxer, both with a 3 and 5cm elastic waistband. Used materials are mostly combinations of cotton, modall and lycra and the earlier mentioned bamboo fabric. “We ware and take care of our environment,” Eduardo continues. “Therefore we use more and more all-natural fabrics.” The prints are also brand new. Next season we can expect to see foxes, eagles and monkeys on the ES underwear. But according to the creators, the diagonal striped graphic will be the absolute topper in next season, available in 12 different color combinations.

Yes, ES Collection is definitely and unstoppable on the way to the absolute top. Not just with their product lines, but also with their selling points. Having flagship stores already in Barcelona and Bilboa, ES can also be found with boutiques in Madrid, Ibiza and as of July 1 in Valencia. The ES Collection shops do more then selling the product. They truly spread the lifestyle concept, and plans for international concept shops are in the making. –B-

Together with BeautifulMag, ES Collection is also sponsor of the European Gay Ski Week.

Exposing Chris Campanioni

WITH GREAT PLEASURE WE STILL RECALL ON REGULAR BASE THE SILENT STRIPTEASE GIVEN TO US TO THE DELICIOUS CHRIS CAMPANIONI UNDER THE EXPERT DIRECTION OF FRANK LOUIS LAST MONTH. AND ACCORDING TO THE MANY REACTIONS WE RECEIVED, WE WERE APPARENTLY NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO ENJOYED THE REVELATION OF THIS YOUNG MAN. SO FOR ALL OF YOU – AND A LITTLE BIT FOR US – CHRIS DOES IT AGAIN. AND A LITTLE BIT MORE.

When we asked photographer Frank Louis about his sessions with Chris Campanioni and the concept of striptease, he didn’t need much time to answer. “There really is nothing like leaving just a bit to the imagination. I love the essence of the big reveal, the slow peeling away of the layers till there is almost nothing left. It is as sensual to the revealer as it is to the viewer; with each reveal, the heart beats faster for both. His eyes smoldering, intense and dreamy... How far will he go? What's next?” Unfortunately for us that still remains a fantasy. We can only dream of what Chris looks like sitting in the chair, fully exposed, with the sheer black boxers resting at his feet. But according to Frank’s smiling face it is a fantasy not difficult to fill in. Although for the attentive viewer, Chris exposes a little bit more here than he did last month.

Chris Campanioni – also known in the modeling world as Chris Cuba – is one of those rare persons who was actually born and raised in Manhattan. At 24 he can already look back at an interesting resume, including TV (All My Children), commercial modeling (MAC Cosmetics), fitness modeling and several publication in international magazines, including cover positions for Cosmopolitan, Tetu and your very own BeautifulMag.

Chris' Silver Models contract also landed him the job with N2N Bodywear, for which he now twice stripped to – almost – next 2 nothing. All in front of the camera of Frank Louis who most be grinning like a cat who had just scored a canary with this reoccurring job. We know we would. –B-

The Porn Star Interviews | Logan McCree: A Lone Wolf among Raging Stallions

HE WANDERS WITH CALCULATED PACE, CARRYING HIS BEAUTY WITH A CASUALTY THAT BARELY HIDES HIS GREAT STRENGTH. HE MOVES WITH A DETERMINED ELEGANCE. WHEN HE HOWLS YOU SHIVER OF FEAR, KNOWING THAT WHEN HE PREYS THERE IS NO ESCAPE. YOU KNOW HE IS AROUND AND EVEN THOUGH YOU HIDE, YOU WANT HIM TO FIND YOU. AND WHEN HE FINALLY SETS HIS DARK GOLDEN EYES ON YOU, AND YOUR HEART BEATS FASTER WITH THE IRRESISTIBLE ATTRACTION FOR THE UNKNOWN DANGER, YOU KNOW YOU ARE LOST.

It took Logan McCree only two years to become a super star in the gay adult film industry. A status he did not only gain by his excellent performances which landed him three Grabby’s and three GayVN Awards this year, among them the one for Performer of the Year, but also thanks to his remarkable looks. He is literally covered from head to toe with tattoo’s, which he carries with pride, like a wolf his fur. These tattoos were also the theme of his very first video hit, Ink Storm, and placed him right away on the box cover. Logan McCree is a pretty boy and hot as hell with a wolfish look that makes him simply irresistible. Enough reason for us to hunt him down in order to have a personal talk with him.

Hey Logan, welcome to BeautifulMag. Even though you have made quite a remarkable impression on the international gay adult market, there might still be one or two people who don’t know you, so can you please introduce yourself?
Logan: Hi Guys. Well, my name is Logan McCree and I was born in a small city in the south of Germany. Currently I live in Dresden which I believe to be one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. I was born on the 31st of December in 1977, which makes me 31 now.

So… Germany… Knowing that it seems safe to assume your stage name is not your real name…
Logan: Yes, that is correct ☺. Logan comes from the character Wolverine from the X-Men comics. I am a huge Wolverine fan and originally my stage name was just ‘Logan,’ but my company Raging Stallion asked me to choose a last name as well. Logan is a Scottish name and since I’m obsessed by Scotland, I decided to pick a Scottish last name. And so I ended up with Logan McCree.

We know for a fact you started your career working as a DJ. How did you end up working in porn?
Logan: I needed more money to buy CDs.

Well I guess you got that covered now. But really, you currently are one of the most remarkable – and may we ad hottest – actors in the stables of Raging Stallion. How did it start?
Logan: When I realized that I needed a new job to be able to afford my job as a DJ I submitted a model application on the Raging Stallion homepage. They immediately responded, asking me if I wanted to do a fisting movie with them. This I denied, since I’m absolutely not into fisting. So, a couple of weeks later they contacted me again and told me that they would like to use me in a movie about tattooed guys. On this I agreed and so I did my first two scenes, one with Steve Cruz and one with Jack Deckard. I was a bit nervous and afraid that it would be a bad experience for me to do porn, but it was actually great to work with all of the guys at Raging Stallion. The name of the film was Ink Storm and it was pretty successful. This all happened in 2007. Over the past two years I have performed in a lot of other movies for Raging Stallion and was even given the opportunity to realize my own little movie project, The Drifter, for which I wrote the script. The Drifter was probably the most important and best movie in my career so far, I would say. The movie even won 4 awards such as Movie Of The Year and Best Sex Scene.

So even though you made the decision to try your luck in porn, it was eventually your tattoo’s that offered you the chance. Tell us Logan, where some take a tattoo because it is fashionable, it is safe to say you did it for very different reasons.
Logan: Yes. I got my first tattoo when I was 18. It was a feather which symbolizes freedom. After that I decided to take a huge symbol on my back which represents my faith in God and my strong belief. All my other tattoos are either connected to angels or wolves, which is my spiritual animal. Somehow it has always been clear to me that my body would be pretty much covered one day. At one time I even wanted to tattoo my face, but I’m gonna wait with that until I’m much older. I guess the plan behind my tattoos is to look a bit less human.

What was the most painful tattoo you had made?
Logan: In contrary to what many probably think, I have to say, the one on my head.

Even though you are known for your tattoo’s – among other things – we can imagine some people you meet in private might not have seen your full body decoration before. How do people usually react?
Logan: Actually I never have had any weird reaction or situations because of my tattoos. Except that some people really want to feel the tattoos. Feel how the skin feels.

Let’s talk about sex Logan… what is your favorite position/action while having sex?
Logan: Ha ha ha… I am very vanilla. I really love fucking missionary style.

You already mentioned you are in a relationship with Vinnie D’Angelo, who is another gay porn actor. Is it hard to separate your professional sex life from your personal one?
Logan: No. In fact it is much easier then what you would think. Sex in front of the camera is work and pretty different from sex at home.

How important is sex for you?
Logan: Believe it or not but sex has never been such a big thing in my life. It is OK for me to have sex once a month or so. I like it but usually it costs too much energy for me. I rather jerk off ☺.

Logan, just imagine: BeautifulMag decides to produce a porn movie and we want you to direct it and to be its main star. Besides that you can do what you want. What scenario would you love to film and with who?
Logan: It definitely would be located in Scotland and it would be about Highlanders. Beautiful landscapes and tough, hairy guys who are having intense sex in sheep barns. You get the idea? I think the story would be about a father and a son… It is difficult to pick actors to call my favorites. There are many. But I would definitely like to work with Gage Weston, Luke Garret and Vince Ferelli.

Sounds not so bad to us Logan. Talking about sheep barns and tough, hairy guys, tell us, do you have any pets?
Logan: Yes I do. It is a dog, a husky/sheppard-mix who listens to the name Ares. He is actually the center of my life and my soul mate.

And if you could be an animal yourself, what would you be?
Logan: Definitely a wolf!!!

Logan, imagine, BeautifulMag is a genie and we allow you to rub our little lamp. What would be the three wishes you make?
Logan: It might be stereotype but I would have to go with: Heal the planet. Related to that: Keeping humanity from causing new damage. And finally: Turn humans into either very dumb or very wise creatures.

Logan, before closing this interview and thanking you for your cooperation, we want to give you the opportunity to give a personal message to our readers, so knock yourself out…
Logan: Well, following what I wished for: be nice to each other and your environment! (Oh my God, I believe I sound like a hippie ☺). –B-

Logan McCree is under contract with Raging Stallion Studios where he appears as a Raging Stallion Exclusive.
