Male Model of the Day: James Ratliff

Sometimes one set of shots can propel a model beyond where they were. To me that is the case with James Ratliff. James is a stunning guy with everything one would need to make it in the modeling world. Then come along a series of shots with Cyprien Leym for the fall issue of Men Evidence. These shots were magic and were posted on almost every blog devoted to male models that I have seen. Here is a bit more of James!

Favorite Face of the Day: Lucas Buchwald

Awhile ago I saw the first two stunning shots of model Lucas Buchwald on the site of a favorite photographer of mine, Paul Reitz and I had to learn more. Paul captured such an amazing portrait in the first shot and such an amazing body shot in the second. Those eyes, that torso. Certainly something special about Lucas.

Trying to research Lucas did not come up with much. I did find out Lucas signed with Empire models in the spring and they have been heavily promoting his arrival in NY for the fall. Lucas has arrived and so has the work! Lucas spent the summer traveling in Korea but is now focusing on his work with Empire.

Lucas hails from Germany and besides being tall and blond and gorgeous is described by those who work with him as a great guy with a great personality. That personality comes through in his work and I look forward to more great shots and collaborations with Paul Reitz! Their work together is magic!

Hottest Hunk of the Weekend: Justin Hartley

It was hard watching the season opener that Smallville is the the same show I loved six years ago. The show about the boy on the farm loving the girl down the road. My how this show has changed. I love some of the changes and loath others. (Clark needed his parents around). I certainly love Justin Hartley who is not only talented and likable but one of the main reasons I stick with the show. Here is Justin in September's DNA! Amazing shots!
