Man Candy Day: Max Rogers & Freddy Bradshaw

Models on YouTube seems to be the last trend, but even if I sometime post the link to some video, I really don't like the ones that are simple a collection of photos, I prefer to see my photo in a static post, to enjoy the work of a good photographer. But sometime the video are really little movie: I posted in the past the link to Hustle, a short Super 8 film directed by Joseph Sinclair, and starred by Max Rhyser, one of my favorite man candy (http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/347144.html). Last week I found another of these Super 8 films by Joseph Sinclair, Marionette (in Italian Marionette means Puppets), this time co-directed by Max Rogers, who also starred in it with another model, Freddy Bradshaw.

Max Rogers, 26 years old, is currently one of European most successful male models. He shot for Dolce&Gabbana and appeared on GQ cover (and inside article). And I'm not the only one to choose him as Man Candy, he is also a Man Candy for Dylan Rosser. Currently signed with Storm Models. He is a keen artist.

Freddy Bradshaw, 21 years old, is a fellow Storm Model of Max. I didn't find a lot of info about him on the net, but he lately he worked a lot, so probably we will hear his name in the future.

To complete Max Rogers' profile, this is a film inspired by 60's Icon & Superstar, Edie Sedgwick, starring Emily Durnell & Max Rogers. Shot in London, March 2008, title Superstar:

And finally this film was shot during the latest Dynamite Hosts photoshoot. Directed by Joseph Sinclair & Max Rogers (thanks to Kevin at Aussiebum)

Hot Cargo by Nicki Bennett & Ariel Tachna

Blaise Risner, the captain of a small cargo ship, was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The Confederation Army is dealing with some nasty attack to their ship and space colony, and they blame the pirates, and so the attention is very high. In normal time, probably Blaise would skip the control, but now he is arrested for smuggling, piracy and other minor violation. Since he can't avoid to admit the smuggling crime, he tries to negotiate for the other two accusation and Admiral Peter Keller is willing to listen to him. Peter is not new to similar arrangements with his prisoners: a sentence to hard labor commuted to service him as personal assistant... very personal assistant. More the prisoners are stubborn, and more Peter likes to bend them (pun intended).

If you stick to the romance rules, what Peter does to Blaise could easily be classified as non consensual sex, since Blaise at first claims that, if he had a choice, he would have never submitted to Peter. But truth be told, he doesn't protest so much, and for what I can understand, he enjoyed every single encounter with Peter, even the first one. What I like of the story is that the sexual relationship evolves with them: at first it's obviously only sex, Peter has not a personal interest in Blaise if not since the man is an interesting sex partner that gives him a lot of satisfaction. But more they are together and more their relationship deepens, but always remaining primarily a sexual one: there is not many chances for Blaise or Peter to know each other other than in a sexual way, they don't speak a lot; who they are and what they like is all communicated through sex.

Peter is obviously the domineering character, even if he is not the stronger in a physical way, actually I have the feeling, even if I'm not sure, that he is even leaner and smaller than Blaise. But he has for sure the attitude of a leader and he is used to the command; he lives his personal life as he lead his spaceship: no one questions his orders. Problem is that, on the other side, Blaise instead has the classical behavior of a rebel, he is not used to be ordered around, but he will find out that, in some cases, he likes it. It's not clear if Blaise, before Peter, have already realized that he has a submissive nature in bed, but he will discover it with Peter. There is not doubt that in bed this two work in a very good way, all the trouble arrives when they are out of the bedroom. They are both very stubborn, and they don't know how to communicate; they arrive to hasty conclusion even before having taken the time to analyze all the possible side of a problem.

The book is quite long and it's a very classic futuristic novel, even if the reader has not many chances to see the two heroes among other people or outside the bedroom, but in the few cases when it happened, the setting is light and enjoyable, there is not the usual heavy use of detailed description to force the reader to understand a different and fictional world.
