[Members - click here] It's almost hallucinating how we meet people.

I have known about Palatied for awhile now as I have seen many of his great bondage videos on some other sites. Did I ever write to him? No. Why? Well mostly because I'm just too shy to write, especially when it comes to writing a fan letter. It's just not my forté.

Then one day, out of the blue, I get an email. It's concerning my site. I do a little double take when I see the recipient's email address... Palatied... could it be the same Palatied who've I've secretly admired his videos for so long...? I write back. It is! It's the same Palatied. 'I feel like a sweepstake winner' (Satisfy My Soul by Bob Marley & The Wailers).

Ok... after the initial gushing all over him, Palatied sent me a couple of his movies for PlanetBears Videos section. If you like bondage, you're really going to love Palatied's work because he does some of the best immobile bondage I've seen on the net. And not only that, a lot of the guys he plays with are husky Bearish types, which makes his bondage just all that much more interesting.

Make sure to contact Palatied (email). He's a great guy and he's perfect for you if you're itching to be securely tied down for a couple of hours as he slowly milks your mind and body away.

The Motto for Two Thousand & Ten...?

PlanetBears ~ The Husky Side of the Net...

The Goal?...

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.

Don't be overwrought with bad news. We are living in truly vibrant and exciting times. Learn to celebrate your life - learn from all those generations before us - and now make your world a great place - now... right now... 2010! Hugz, happiness, health... and Heaven on Earth. Let's stop hurting each other trying to convince who has the better God, the better culture, the better whatever. Let's stop competing and finally... right now... become one planet... '10 - exciting times!

Do you see what happens to bad little Bears who've been naughty all year? Santa just doesn't have the time to fool around with these kind of men anymore - quick into bondage with them bad Bears...!

Ok my fantasies are starting to show again, but this is just a reminder for all those who have photos of themselves lying around, doing nothing, nobody seeing them, when all you have to do is send them to PlanetBears (email - form) and in exchange, you get a membership to check out all the Galleries which is going on 25,000 pics soon as well as the Videos section. It's a great deal and it's one that I've been trying to work with since the BearPress and Bear-Pics days of yore.

I have been getting a lot of requests from some really extremely good looking Bearish men asking to a photo shoot or even be in movies. My suggestion for all of you very handsome husky looking men - do it! Either find a friend and get him to photograph you, or just hit the 'Future Shop' store (or 'Best Buy'... just get a camera)... along with a tripod (they really do help), and just take some photos of yourself. Yes!

Or - just get a professional to do it. There's probably a really good 'erotic' photographer nearby, just look them up on the net. I love working with men, photographing them. It's a ton fun - to take the pics then to look at yourself - to feel good about yourself - to never be ashamed. And when you work with someone you trust, you can take photos you want to display. And yes - explore that kinky side as well - we're all adults - so just make sure you play fair and nice and nobody gets hurt - safe words - and take tons of photos. Trust me, you'll start turning yourself on - and is that such a bad thing? It's not narcissism, it's thanking God and Mother Earth for what He and She gave us - our bodies.

So start taking some photos of yourself, and send them in. And I'm sure there's a huge budding artist in yourself that you didn't even know existed - and probably someone really cute behind all that shyness.

In this update, there's some brand new photos of a very cute guy with an endearing smile - Peter. He's a flight attendant so he travels the world, and then some. He's got a super sweet face, and in regards to body type ~ a fine blend of a Bear mxed in with a bit of Wolf... and a dab of Cub. I hope he doesn't mind me saying this - but he looks like a really cute Chef Gordon Ramsay - how Ramsay 'should' look like... so this is like pretending Ramsay never existed and Peter is the cook to a show called 'Heaven's Kitchen'. I'm eating at that restaurant. Yes, Peter - this heavenly creature will help you to your seat, get you a pillow, and will do his outmost best to comfort you as they come upon some turbulence. Wow.

[Members - Recycler] This is the 2nd installment to the Recycling section. These are photos that were either sent to me via the (almost defunct) Yahoo!Groups bear-pics, some sent in from guys which their emails are no longer working, and some photos which were found along the way.

As I mentioned the last time with the Bear Foot section; if there are any photos that belong to you, then either contact to tell us you do not wish to have your photos up, or even better, just send us more photos of yourself (preferably updated ones) and we'll create you an Amateur Gallery in exchange for a membership.

[Members - Recycler] It's been a very busy time for me this past while. I'm working on PlanetBears (this site), designing TubeBear 2.o (the new version of TubeBear), and whenever I can squeeze in a bit of time, I'm piecing together THC - The Horsemen Chronicles - the web series (2nd Episode is called 'In the Forest' and I'm hoping to have it done soon). All this being said, it's better to be busy than not busy, just I feel I don't have time for 'everything'.

Something I haven't had time to do are photo shoots. The last one was with Gary and much of that shoot consisted of film that shows up in the 1st Episode of THC - Extortion ~ Bear Style Extortion. I keep meaning to hook up with some cute Bear models, yet as I mentioned earlier, it's just a question of time.

For now, I put up a section called Recycler in the Galleries. These are photos that were sent to me through my old (almost defunct) Yahoo!Groups bear-pics and some photos sent in by guys who's emails are no longer working. Right now I put up photos with Bear Feet as the principle focus, and in a couple of days I'll add the bondage photos I have as well as Chubs and Dads. And if I can get in touch with a friend and colleague of mine, XXLBear, the man who used to be the sysadmin to the old Bear-Pics box, then I'll be able to add a lot more as he has that site archived.

Anyhow, once the new TubeBear site goes up, things will change around here and I will have more free time to work on my movie and the photo shoots. 

Just how on Earth can 2 handsome Bearish men like Gary and Roger be mixed up in something as horrible as extortion? These good looking Bears might look sweet and innocent, yet there is something fierce and furious behind their angelic faces. Welcome to the wonderful world of blackmail - and just when you thought Bears was all about bowling, Bear runs, pageants and Bear soup. Not anymore...

Extortion ~ Bear Style is Episode I of an internet series that I decided to work on. The show is called THC which stands for 'The Horsemen Chronicles'. I am not going to divulge the overall plot since revealing too much will have it lose its novelty, I think.

Episode I is just over 10 minutes and it took me 3 weeks to make (and that's almost full time). I don't know how long each Episode is going to take to create, nor how long each Episode will be, but I will do my best in putting them out as fast as humanly possible. I am but one lil' Bear admirer here working on this, so please be patient as I work on this project. Please not that I have zero schooling when it comes to editing, directing, acting, filming, etc., so everything is a learning process as well which also slows things down, unfortunately.

In this Episode, you meet Roger (galleries - TubeBear) and Gary (galleries) and you also briefly meet me, Bobby (TubeBear) who is this mysterious guy walking around in the woods with 2 blond German Shepherds - Drako 'n Sasha.

Please note that this first Episode is PG in comparison to the other movies that are in the Video section. I am still in the process of piecing the complete story together, yet be on the lookout for more fantasy with time.

This is a friendly reminder that PlanetBears is willing to swap a membership for your Bearishly good homemade photos, because what the world needs a whole lot more of are many more photos of very cute 'n hot Bearishly good looking men.

It's very simple - get a camera, aim, smile, repeat often, different angles, then send them to PlanetBears.

Check out the Galleries section to see the different men who've sent in their photos over the years, and a big thank you to Chris aka PhotoCub69 (Pics - Tumblr) for being the latest to share his goodness with us, and here's hoping we'll see more of PhotoCub69 - as well as more of you. Time to get over your camera-shyness and show the world your beauty...!

[Members - click here] Firstly, the movie I'm working on "Extortion ~ Bear Style" is taking a wee bit longer for me to finish (Why? Editing is seriously long, need to update PlanetBears, working on TubeBear 2.o - and in between all that, I try and find the time to cuddle Roger.

Ahh, yes, Roger (TubeBear profile). He is the star in the movie and he's more than just a star in my life. However - since I didn't have the movie for you guys this week, I went through my photo collection and saw there were a few sets that I still hadn't put up online here at the PlanetBears galleries. Some of these photos date back from 2007 when Roger and I were working on the BearFoot site we never got around to opening up (articles), so yes, many of these photos are 'feet' intensive, yet there's also a lot of body shots as well (I like Roger's feet, but I like the rest of Roger too just as much). And I also realized that there are now over 2000 photos of Roger alone. I don't think there's many Bear sites out that can say they have 2000 photos of just one good looking guy. This is what happens when you marry a photographer.

To extort: to menace, to cause duress, to illegally manage power over another. Ah... what a wonderful world we live in.

I am still working on the movie "Extortion - Bear Style" - and of course, when it comes to making movies, I am so slow at it. The filming part is not the hard part for me, it's the editing. God bless editors as I have truly come to appreciate the amount of work that goes into it.

This being said - the movie is not finished, but I'm hoping that I'll be able to punch it out by the end of this week (and as you might have noticed, the updates here at PlanetBears have been wanting - now you know why).

The short movie stars Gary (gallery) and  Roger (gallery - TubeBear) - and it will have guest appearances of Eric (gallery - TubeBear) and even my aunt Sue (no galleries of her - thank God)! So patience, and I will do my best and have this movie up and ready for you guys to ogle as soon as possible. 

[Members - click here - previews] The alarm rings... Gary is slow to wake... but he's got an important job to do. He reaches for his cell and calls up Roger (gallery - TubeBear) who confirms that he's on his way over to meet with him. Roger believes the meeting is about one thing... he's soon to discover it's about something else. It's all about extortion.

Right now there are almost 200 pics of Gary in the Gallery section. There's some solo shots and then there are the photos from the 'extortion' movie. Yes, there is going to be a short movie which I am working on right now and will put it online next week. So if you don't want to know what is going to be in the movie, then it's best not to look at these photos. Also, there are a few bits that are missing in the storyline, so you don't get the full story looking at the pictures (I was going to have Eric work with me that day - him doing the filming while I would do the photos - however Eric had to work so that left me to do both the filming and the photos - and that's why some bits are missing).

Anyhow, both Roger and Gary look quite debonair in their suits, and they are both fine actors. Hang on for a bit as the 'Bear Sextortion' flick will be hitting the internet waves soon.

I just gotta say right off the bat, Gary is one seriously super cute guy, from head to toe (and I don't believe I've seen a wider chest on a guy before - he could have easily been a linebacker). He's got blond hair and blue eyes; he's intelligent, witty and a lot fun to be with - and really easy to work with as well. Roger and I spent an excellent afternoon with Gary, and I'm really hoping that we'll all be able to get together to work on future photo shoots.

Please give me a couple of days and I will have the photos up as well as a little movie we worked on. It's a cute movie in which extortion is the soupe du jour. I don't want to give too much away, but I will say that the tables do get turned on the extortionist.

I should have had at least some of the photos up in the Galleries however - as I mentioned in this article - I have been in a nursing home for the past week sitting next to my grandfather, and even though he hasn't passed away yet, I'm sure my grandfather can understand that I do have to get a bit of work done. For now, check out these previews and keep an eye out as I am working on getting the photos up by tomorrow and the movie in by the weekend - at least that is the plan - Preview #1 - Preview #2 - Preview #3 - Preview #4 - Preview #2 - Preview #6.

[Members - click here] Part I of many little bondage videos that Roger 'n Bob (me) worked on in the past while. There's also 90 hi-res pics that accompany this video (pics here - Roger's gallery here). In this video, Roger is lying about on bed with his Spanks and some white socks, and I break out the yellow rope and hogtie this handsome Bear. Keep an eye out for Part II as things begin to heat up then.

[Members - click here] Some quick fun pool shots of my seriously cute hubby, Roger - the Bear of the North. He had a day off so instead of running around town or seeing friends, we decided to stay in and just spend some alone time together. Roger was looking just too cute with his new haircut so I grabbed my camera and snapped a bunch of fun shots, a bit of handcuff action too, over 125 shots in all.

Roger has been working a lot lately. He's the cook at a private nursing home. However he now has 3 weeks off, and Roger 'n I have decided were going to take some more interesting shots, so keep an eye out for some more shots of Roger, hopefully more bondage (how ever did all that rope get around you). Roger is looking mighty fine, and since he's turned 50 he's found a new lease on life. So for the month of August, we'll be focusing a lot of our attention on getting some interesting shots of the hubster.

Make sure to say hi Roger by visiting his TubeBear profile.

Over the past while I've been heading over to the Woof Bistro & Bar (website - articles) in Montreal (Wiki) to do some filming and participating. I myself don't drink, but that doesn't stop me from going and having a good time: they also have food and they make a mean Virgin Caesar.

I filmed the first Bear contest ever in our wonderfully culturally diverse city ~ 'Monsieur Bear Montréal' '08 (video) with Robert Pettigrew taking the title and my cutest hubby on the planet, Roger (galleries ~ profile) came runner up (I am seriously proud of Roger for competing and having fun - video from the aftermath and afterthoughts of the contest). We even livestreamed the event on TubeBear. We've attended their Bearotic - a party they have once a month. We've eaten there, we've met up with friends there, and we even held our memorial party for our friend Jacques aka PandaMontreal there (video - an event hosted by UpBear (website - profile). And right now, with summer in full swing, you can hang out on the patio since the main drag - Ste. Catherine street - is open to pedestrians allowing shops and restaurants to extend their goods.

So all this time I've been filming stuff here and there, and I decided to put together this 7 minute video for Paul (profile), the shop owner of the Woof Bar & Bistro. Turn it up if you like Madonna vs. ABBA (a remix by Offer Nissim).

When Dave and I first spoke about doing some photos together for the gallery section of PlanetBears, he asked me - "do I have to do nudes?"... and I said "it's up to you...", so Dave decided that this being a 1st time for him to be photographed, he'll wait. And you know, he's a tease, heheh, these photos we took are very teasing. However, he's ubernatiously cute and I really liked working with him. Actually it would be fun to see Dave in a Bear spy flick :)

Say hi to Dave. His profile is BearenHeart. He's extremely smart, you've been warned, k...?

Hugo & Steve - also known as the Dungeon Bears - have informed me that they just picked themselves up a brand new high definition video camera and they've put together a trailer on their site of some of the outtakes from videos you'll be expecting to see from them soon. Hugo & Steve are a good looking couple and they are far from being shy - they have made over 50 videos so far for you guys to enjoy.

[Members - click here] In this update, I added 3 videos of Roger (gallery - profile) from his collection. Once again, these are videos that were made with BearFoot.com in mind (previous update), however we realized we didn't have the manpower to work on BearFoot as well as PlanetBears and TubeBear, so all the videos that we shot for BearFoot are slowly making their way over to the PlanetBears Video page.

They are short videos of Roger in bondage - hogtied - leather restraints - hand and leg cuffs - blindfolded. There's a bit of tickling and tugging, and in one of the video, his boyfriend (that's me - Bob Forrest) decides to take advantage of the situation that Roger is tied up so I chew on his feet. Even tied down, he puts up a hell of a fight, and he's got strong legs. Unfortunately this video of Roger and I is a bit short, however we will definitely work on others if there is an interest.

[Members - click here] A little while back, I was lucky enough to round up 3 great guys that I have worked with in the past, and that would be Eric (galleries - profile), Frank (galleries - profile) and Jacques PandaMontreal (galleries - profile). There were several events happening in Montreal that weekend and Frank showed up without notice from the States. So we all got together however we didn't have all that much time to work. Actually, we only had 20 minutes because Frank had to grab a plane back (we were supposed to have an hour however we got caught in traffic). Still, it was fun to see them together, and it's a video of mostly Eric and Frank getting it on with a little bit of help from Panda. This video is just shy 7 minutes and you can check it out in the Videos section.
