The island of Montreal is going to see its very 1st Mr. Bear contest (or it's the very 1st one that I have heard of). It is going to take place at the Woof Bistro on Ste Catherine street on August 30th.

Woof Bistro is a brand new bar/resto which opened its doors on June 20th (article) to fine food and whatever you fancy to drink. And if you haven't been to the Gay Village in Montreal this year, well they did something great by closing off a huge chunk of Ste Catherine for pedestrians only, and Woof Bistro has a great terrace for those who enjoy fresh air while looking Bearishly sexy.

So, if you think you have what it takes to be the very first Monsieur Bear Montréal, then make sure to drop by the Woof Bistro, and if you have any questions or comments, contact the cute and cuddly owner Paul (profile).

Here are the recent photos of Alain, aka BearMontreal (profile). As I mentioned in the preview, BearMontreal is this 6'2'' dark and handsome Bear, born in Europe and has been in Canada for over a decade. He's trilingual (English, French and Italian) and he is of Italian descent.

He is a friend of Roger's (gallery - profile), and while chatting on TubeBear, BearMontreal wanted to have some photos of him taken. He mentioned me (Forrest - profile) and that I took pictures, so off we went into downtown Montreal for an impromptu photo shoot. It was already late so we were only able to get one set of photos in, however Alain stated he would really like a set of pics taken of him in the shower. Altho it's not been scheduled yet, we will be getting together in the near future to fulfill this shower scene.

For some previews, click here - preview #1 (small - large) - preview #2 (small - large) - preview #3 (small - large) - preview #4 (small - large).

The following is from Bruin (articles - profile), cartoonist of Bear With Me: "Ever been in one of those situations where you work your butt off on a project, only to have someone else get all the credit? Seems like Paul's in one of those set-ups with his family. It's not that Paul isn't doing anything, but rather he's not doing the 'right' things to garner his father's attention and approval. Lucky Karl; as the family Jock, he gets all the acclaim, while Paul, relegated to household duties, gets diddly. How much of this abuse will Paul endure before he snaps? Is Andy going to mount a rescue, and if so, when? Stay tuned to the answers to these and other questions in upcoming episodes of Bear With Me".

This is just a quick note to mention that I will soon be updating the Gallery as well as the Video section. First off, in the gallery section, I will be adding BearMontreal's pictures in a couple of days. He is one seriously tall, dark and handsome Bearish man with a European French accent, however he also speaks English and yet... he's of Italian descent... there's just all kinds of possibilities there. Make sure to message him.

Also, in the video section, I am working on the 'Ben's Hotel' video, starring Ben Goodman (gallery - profilearticles). It's taken me a bit longer than I expected simply because I have been pulled right, left and center. However I am working on this week and I should have it ready by Friday.

We here at the TubeBear factory have come out with our very own commercial ad. It's cute, simple, and stars my incredibly handsome and huggable partner Roger (gallery - profile). Click the video below or you can see it here from our YouTube page BearGhetti (make sure to subscribe).

Our ad is part of our Google campaign. We're really been working quite hard in getting TubeBear to becoming the #1 Bear site. And the whole point of this ad is to make you cute guys aware of our incredible features, such as RIMs (Recorded Instant Messages) - instead of typing messages like you do with all the other Bear sites, here you can use your webcam and you can send a video message... which is, I would say, 10 to the power of 'n' more fun than an old typed message (to learn how to RIM, visit my profile page - Forrest - and from my list of videos, check out 'How to RIM').

Our next commercial will be able LiveStreaming. We are having our first LiveStreaming party on Monday August 25th (article) so make sure to be here armed with your webcam. We are hoping to see as many people login as possible. It should be a lot of fun.

Once again, put on your space boots and take a flight with the hot cartooned gang that make up Bear Degeneration. This time artist Perdido (website - profile) and I (Forrest - profile) have translated episode #9. In the last episode, we left corporal Slutton to deal with Reverend Beef and his fanatics, and now we follow Doctor Puzuk as he transports onto a strange planet that forks its inhabitants...

Check Episode #9 here: page #1 - page #2 - page #3 - page #4. This cartoon is more than great, and Perdido has already done 17 issues which you can see on his Blog however they are all in Italian, and we are working hard on translating them to English. The only setback is that we have not put all of the English episodes onto one page, so you're gonna have to do a bit of digging to get caught up, but I did my best to make it easy as possible to follow this most excellent adventure. If you've never heard about it before, then start from the beginning - episode #1 - episode #2 - episode #3 - episode #4 - episode #5 - episode #6 - episode #7 - episode #8 - and for today's update - episode #9.

I have mentioned this site before but it definitely is worth mentioning once again. It's called Bearotic (profile) and it's one of the best new Bear sites online. It's a blog with a big Bear heart, a site that is updated on regular basis with great articles and plenty of Bearish videos like this one.

From their site: "Bearotic is entertainment for Bears and the furry at heart. So whether you're a big burly lumberjack or just a lil' Cub admiring the view, we want you to have a good time and enjoy yourself here. Entertainment can mean a lot of different things to different people. So we do our best to present a wide variety of topics, events, artists and media. And since we think a little retail therapy is the best kind of entertainment, Bearotic also features products and services that lets you bring the experience home and into your lifestyle. Bearotic was created by a couple of media-hungry Bears who wanted to build an all-inclusive, light-hearted and low-stress place to share what's fun, amusing and even hawt. We love finding things in this big, Beary world to present to you".

August 25th - LiveStream Party on TubeBear.

You have to make sure to join us on August 25th... that's a Monday... circle it on your calendar, use a sticky from your notepad... make a note that TubeBear is going to be having a 'LiveStreaming' party and everyone is invited.

TubeBear is the coolest Bear site around because we offer live cam feeds. It's the easiest thing to do - just make sure your cam is hooked up, click allow, and you are streaming. You can chat with others as well (we are, however, working on the feedback issues, so if anyone is good with this sort of thing, please let us know).

The whole point is to have cute guys watch you as you cam. They can send you messages, either IMs (Instant Messages) or RIMs (Recorded Instant Messages). RIMs is also another feature you will not find on any other Bear site; instead of typing your messages as you do on every other profile page, just turn on your cam, sit up straight, smile and talk away.

All you need to do is join TubeBear, then click on the Broadcast link. You will see 2 boxes - the top is to LiveStream and the bottom one is to send RIMS. If you need a bit of assistance on how to RIM, then visit my profile (Forrest), and check out my video list - click on - HOW TO RIM - and I explain everything there.

So... remember... August 25th... LiveStream Party on TubeBear. We are trying to get as many people to livestream as possible on that day, so here's truly hoping you'll be able to join us... either to watch all the cute guys in front of their webcams, or to be a participant.

Great news from Italy, photographer GianOrso has updated his website once again. He was also gracious enough to send in a few photos for us, so check them out here. GianOrso is truly one of the nicest guys in the universe, and his photography is inspiring and impeccable. He has, in the past, sent us pics from time to time, so check out some of the articles that have been written about him here. Visit his Flickr page as well as his profile on TubeBear.

If you like a little rope play, bondage, kink and what not when you're playing with your Bearish friends, then you'll definitely dig BearBound.com (articles). It's the best site out there when it comes to Bears and Bondage. They have been running the site for many years now and they have an extensive gallery and video list, and lately they have been adding some great GagBear videos (GagBear is aka Jim Grrowl - website - articles).

There's a new search engine, built by ex-Google workers. It's called Cuil (pronounced Cool). From this CNN article: "For starters, Cuil's search index spans 120 billion webpages... at least three times the size of Google's index, although there is no way to know for certain. Google stopped publicly quantifying its index's breadth nearly three years ago when the catalog spanned 8.2 billion webpages.

Cuil's results will be presented in a more magazine-like format instead of just a vertical stack of Web links. Cuil's results are displayed with more photos spread horizontally across the page and include sidebars that can be clicked on to learn more about topics related to the original search request".

So of course I went to check it out. I tried 'Gay Bear'. TubeBear showed up but with a picture of Marilyn Manson (?). Then BearWWW showed up with a 'TubeBear Profiles' picture accompanying it (??)... also the 'TubeBear Profiles' picture showed up with alongside many other search results. Very odd indeed.

I tried a couple of more searches. It was slow to process and some of the images came back broken. They just opened up the site today so I gather they are ironing out the bugs. It 'look's cool, but will Cuil be able to even put a small dent in Google's monopoly...? It remains to be seen.

Here is the 3rd and final set of Ben Goodman. Members, click here. Ben (profile) and I are trying to schedule another meeting, hopefully near the end of August... we want to work on another set of photos... we might even dabble with a bit of bondage.

In this photo set, you get to see Ben in a snazzy suit. He's on a business trip and he's now retiring back in his hotel room after a long day of work. He is just about to get undress and put on some leather so as to hit the evening Montreal scene when he decides to quickly login to TubeBear to see if he has any messages. He has one from Frank (galleries - profile), which he checks out. It's one of Frank dancing to some disco. He then gets another message from Forrest (profile), and he chats with him a bit, all the while getting undressed.

Click here to see some previews - here for some 800x600 pixels (pic #1 - pic #2 - pic #3) and the 1600x1067 pixels (pix #1 - pic #2 - pic #3).

It's a fun set, and there's video from this set as well, which will be coming soon (by early next week).

Check out the latest additions to TubeBear's VOD page ~ Video on Demand, such as 'Hard Bears - Part 2' by Ursus Video (and while you're on the VOD page, do a search for the videos done by Ursus Video... they have made quite a few really great flicks). Hard Bears stars WinBear, Vyking & Chub5gle.

"It takes place in a house in the sunny south. A big Bear, WinBear and a chubby, Chub5gle, live in this house with their sex object: Vyking. After a careful shaving on the sling and a little exploration, their slave is put on the bed to wait. He's kept bounded the whole day. That's when WinBear comes in with grips, clips, cords, and electro. Vyking will learn his limits of pain as WinBear controls him, making him cum without touching".

Issue #37 of Beef Mag (website - cover) is out and available for you all. It's their June/July issue so it's a bit late however their editor Scott McGillivray (website - articles - profile) states in his 'editor's notes' that due to the production of 'Prime Cuts VI' (article) ~ their Anniversary Collector's edition ~ that it took them a bit longer to get out their summer issue.

No matter, it's out, and as usual they have their slew of good looking models... and if you flip the pages over to page 48 thru 54, you will see a feature on photos of Bearish men that I took ~ they called it the 'The Sexy Beasts of PlanetBears'.

Cartoonist Bruin (articles - profile) is back from the GALA that was in Miami, and he told me that his chorus Perfect Harmony rocked. He is now back and has updated Bear With Me, and we're now following the adventures of Paul.

From Bruin: "Paul is back home with his brother and father, but the welcome is a mixed bag: He's immediately slugged on the shoulder by his brother, and gets a less-than-supportive reaction from his father when asked about his flower shop. It's becoming clear why Paul has self-esteem issues".
