Man of the Week - Carson Moss

Carson Moss

Birth name: Carson Allen Moss
Birthdate: October 25, 1991
   From: Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
 Job: Chemical Engineer
Sexual orientation: Gay

So, this week, I'm going to talk about another very gorgeous, handsome man that I am attracted to a lot; Carson Moss.

Carson was born in Raleigh to a religious family. At a young age, he knew that he had an interest in men. Unforunately, he felt ashamed, and because of this, he tried to deny that he was gay and dated girls. Raised as a Christian, he even prayed to God that he isn't gay.

In 2009, Carson loved playing football. On December 19th, Moss was asked to play football as an offensive lineman for the Shrine Bowl, which is a highly prestigious all-star football game that takes place in Spartanburg, North Carolina. He competed against the South Carolina team, and Moss's team won that night.

In 2010, Carson went to North Carolina State University. It was also at that time where he accepted his sexuality. During that time, Carson was a volunteer team leader at the Young Life program for Enloe High School, where he gave sermons, performed skits and built relationships with struggling teenagers. He got his Bachelor of Applied Science in Chemical Engineering and works as a chemical engineer at RTI International, which is a nonprofit organization that provides research and technical services.

Carson first met soon-to-be boyfriend Nate Sherron at a local gay party on the 3rd of July, one day before Independence Day. At the time, he wasn't in the dating market and didn't have any gay friends. Carson had never met Nate before, but after talking for a little bit, despite coming across as a little bit rude at first, he got his number. The next day, they went out for breakfast. After that, they watched a horror movie and watched the fireworks. And the rest became history.

Carson with his boyfirend Nate
Carson often goes on dates with Nate, they travel together whenever they can (countries they visited include Italy and the Isla Mujeres in Mexico) and love spending time together, especially in the gym. They also have a YouTube channel where they document their lives, from topics relating to LGBT to fitness to just making vlogs. They also have a puppy; an English bulldog named Sir Winston Rufferford. Cute!

Carson has a tattoo on his back that says 'Colossians 3:12-17', which is a quote from the Bible. From my knowledge, it means to be kind to others and learn to forgive and love one another. You give good, you get good. He has another tattoo below which says 'Keep on. Do what you can'. He also has a tattoo on his right bicep.

Whilst growing up, he wasn't the chunkiest person in the family, but after finding his desire of bodybuilding, he became an incredibly buff beefcake!

Although he is a happy man, he has been into trouble. Nothing major. On June 8th, 2015, he was charged with speeding by the Wake County. That's about it really.

Man of the Week - Ian Parks

Ian Parks

Birth name: Ian Graham Parks
Birthdate: September 21, 1984
   From: Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA
 Job: Actor / Editor
Sexual orientation: Gay 

Hello again! This week, I'm going to talk about this handsome bear; Ian Parks.

Hunky male Ian was born in Harrisburg. When he was eight, he would do community theater on a regular basis, starring in several plays and musicals, all the way through high school. A graduate at Temple University in Philadelphia, he receivied his Bachelor of Arts degree in Film and Media Art, where he almost completed a minor course in acting. After that, he moved to the sunny city of Los Angeles.

There, he would pursue his dream in working in the film industry. Between February 2008 to January 2009, he was a runner for ToyBox, an entertainment marketing agency that makes adverts for major Hollywood films. During that time, he also worked in the voice over booths, wrote equipment tutorials, trained new employees and fed the crew with BBQ's. After that, he became a freelance editor and cameraman.

Ian Parks as Hot Toddy
In February 2012, Ian found an ad on Craigslist that was looking for an editor for a "gay comedy/mystery web-series". Ian contacted the person who wrote the ad, and after getting the job, he was also given the opportunity to play a role in the said web-series, where he would later become an essential addition to the cast. Filming started in April and ended in the same month. On August 1, the first episode of 'Where the Bears Are' was aired on YouTube.

The web series follows three gay bears (Nelson, Wood and Reggie) who live in L.A and are drawn into different murder investigations. Ian plays Todd "Hot Toddy" Stevens, a muscular handsome bear who later becomes Nelson's husband. The web-series is a success, named Best Gay Web Series of 2012 by both AfterElton.com and the LGBT blog Queerty. The web-series is now on it's seventh season, which will start airing episodes in August.

Other than that, he also did some other work in the film industry.

Ian Parks as David
In 2013, he made his on-screen film debut as David, a bar patron in the indie thriller 'The Devil's in the Details'. He was also credited as the editor and digital imaging technician for the film.

In 2015, Ian worked as a production assistant for the pornographic video 'Jailbreak'. Ian himself isn't an adult film actor, as he prefers to work behind the camera rather than in front.

He is also working on a project of his own, though very little is said about it and is unconfirmed if the project will see the day of light.

But then all the attention came along. And it was hard for him to cope with. So to cope, he went to drugs and started taking crytsal meth. From when WTBA premiered in 2012 all the way to 2015, he took drugs every single day. Even though he had been taking other drugs prior to WTBA (including pot, crack, ecstasy, etc.), it was the crystal meth that almost destroyed his life. He would go to clubs and have sex with men, he had falling outs with his friends and family, he went in debt and he even had suicidal tendencies. But one day, after not having any money left to support himself, he got rid of the pipes, blocked all numbers that are associated with anyone that would get him back on meth and suddenly stopped taking the drug itself all together.

Ian finally started to get his life back on track. Slowly but surely, he reconciled with his friends and family and has opened up about his drug abuse on YouTube. Despite not going to AA or any support groups, Ian has managed to stay sober (from meth only) for over three years.


On the bright side of things, Ian is known to keep his personal life private, but in his spare time, he likes to go to the gym, maintaining his muscular hairy physique. He loves listening to classical rock music and his favourite ice cream is cookie dough. He also has a tattoo of a hand holding a microphone on his left shoulder blade. Ian once dated a guy named Brutus, but they are no longer together. Ian also dated someone else, though we know nothing about the lucky guy. See what I mean when he likes to keep his personal life private? Right now, he is currently single.

Ian has, unfortunately, come across people who'd steal his photos and pretend to be him. But he always finds these imposters and reports them. Over 200 times to be exact! Crazy, right?

Man of the Week - Leo Bayne

Leo Bayne

Birth name: Marcous Harold Marchese
Birthdate: August 12, 1992
   From: North Carolina, USA
 Job: Office Manager / Research Assistant
Sexual orientation: Gay

So, this week, I am going talk about another one of my favourite men on social media; Leo Bayne.

Leo was born in North Carolina to Catholic parents Mark Marchese and Lisa Shippee. At a young age, he and his family moved to Vermont, before moving to Hershey, Pennsylvania for a few years. Leo went to Milton Hershey School, where he had to watch a religious anti-gay video. Besides what had happened there, he loved playing various sports, especially swimming.

After high school, Leo moved to Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania where he briefly worked as a bartender at The Raven. He also modeled there and was featured as a calendar model for PhillyGayCalendar. He was also crowned Mr. SEXO 2015. In 2011, Leo went to study Psychology at Arcadia University, where he eventually got his degree. During that time, he also studied abroad in Paris for a few months, where he also studied Political Science and French. Since late 2018, his job is operating a trucking and logistics company called Bradshaw Transport, LLC., which transports stuff ranging from household goods to beverages to even metal.

Too sleepy for this day. 😴
Leo wasn't always a hunky athletic alpha male we see today. In fact, he was quite the skinny twink. But after going to the gym at the young age of 18, only an undergraduate at the time, the gains started to show, the beard started to grow, and it all paid off. One of his tattoos (likely his first) is the one on his upper chest with the words 'When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful', which is the first verse from the song 'When She Loved Me' by Sarah McLachlan. The song is heard in the animated Pixar movie 'Toy Story 2' (you know, the one where Jessie the Cowgirl loses her owner?). He has had more tattoos since then, including a couple more on his chest, one on his back and one on his left thigh.

Leo with his husband Nick
Leo is with a handsome, charming beefcake named Nick Mallozzi, and they married on August 20, 2017. They both love going to the gym and, of course, making out. Despite being a couple, they are actually in a polyfidelitous relationship, which means that agree to have sexual intercouse with other members. They do this with two Canadians named Dave and Steeve, who are also a couple. They're no longer together as Leo and Nick are now in a relationship with a guy named Joe. They have travelled together to countries including Iceland and Ireland.

Besides working out at the gym, he loves listening to music, ranging from Frank Sinatra to Queen to Ed Sheeran. He also loves reading books, play video games, go to shooting ranges with Nick and dancing at clubs. 

But there's something that I don't understand. People call him Leo, but he was born as Marcous. In fact, another public record said that his other full name was Leonardo Sebastian Bayne. Why change it? Maybe it's because of the incident back at high school? Or was it because his star sign is a Leo? What if he didn't like his name and wanted to change it to make it sound cooler? I doubt it would be the latter, but there must be a reason.

Man of the Week - Jeff Buoncristiano

 
Jeff Buoncristiano

Birth name: Jeffrey Edward Buoncristiano
Birthdate: July 5, 1980
   From: Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA
 Job: Motion Graphics Artist / Photographer / Model
Sexual orientation: Straight

 I apologize for not posting a post last week. But anyways, this week, I'm going to talk about another one of my favourite men I admire on social media; Jeff Buoncristiano.

Jeff was born in a very small town called Cape Cod, located at the southeastern corner of mainland Massachusetts in the United States. Did you know that the film 'Jaws' was filmed not far off from where Jeff was born?

Anyways, at a young age, Jeff knew he wanted to work in media. He knew this because he would set up his VCR and go through a cartoon frame by frame and study how animation works. Jeff would then trace the characters on a piece of paperand get the feel of how the animation process works. 

Jeff eventually graduated at Cape Cod Community College in 2004, recieving a degree in Psychology. He also studied at Spa Tech Institute for a year, studying Anatomy and Massage Therapy.
After college, he had various jobs before saving enough money to move to Brooklyn, New York City.

There, he pursued his dream as a motion graphics artist, working as a feelance animator and compositor. Not only that, but it was around that time when he decided to grow a beard. After being interviewed by Buzzfeed and Reddit, he recieved a ton of attention on social media, being featured in publications such as EliteDaily, Maxim, and Cosmopolitan, which made him feel good about himself and boosted his confidence.

After doing some modelling work, he later found Beardbrand, an American men's grooming company, whilst looking for a comb. He never intended on working with the company, but after sending a thank you letter to the company, sending his support, one thing led to another, and the next thing you know, he became a brand ambassador for Beardbrand.

When not at work, he often goes around the city and practices photography and goes to the gym. Jeff is also a part time model, which is pretty neat. He likes to listen to rock music, but would listen to any genre. His favourite drink is Fruit Punch. Jeff also lives his life as a minimalist.

Now, standing at just 5'6" and weighing 155 pounds, Jeff has tattoos on his right arm, and a couple on his leg, some of which are done by his older brother Scott. The meaning behind the tattoos are unknown, and he is unlikely going to explain to us what they mean. What do you think they mean?

He also posts content on his YouTube channel about life/motivational-related topics. Jeff has dated women in the past, but he expresses interest in staying single for now. And if he does find the love of his life, there certainly won't be any lil' Buons running around. It's just not his thing, to have kids.

One of the things that I like about him is his incredibly thick beard! I envy that so much. I always want to grow a beard like that, but genetics isn't going to give me that. Also he is rocking that body hair! I would totally date him if he was into men and if I was good looking.
