[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] Roger (profile) has been a huge source of inspiration for me, and it's official, there are more photos of Roger on PlanetBears than any other Bear (it was Sylvain aka TeddyBear (galleries) who had the most pics with 1139 pics yet Roger now has 1315 photos).

These photos were taking during the fall of 2007 and they have never been online anywhere, not here nor on the now defunct BearFoot. In this update there are 4 new sets with over 200 pics. Also, there is an emphasis on Roger's feet. This is because back in 2007, Roger and I were working on BearFoot, but we realized that running a 3rd site (BearFoot, PlanetBears and TubeBear) was just too much work. Nevertheless, we did a lot of the legwork for BearFoot and we took a lot of photos of Roger barefoot, bound... a lot of close-ups and different angled shots focusing on his feet.

That being said, there's also a lot of full body shots, and I added a set of what I consider some of the best photos of Roger that I ever took - him on a beach in beautiful Charlevoix, Quebec.

I still have a ton more pics to add of Roger which I'll be doing soon, including more videos, so make sure to keep an eye out on the updates here often. As for today's updates, here are the photo sets: #1 Laptop - #2 Rolling Pennies - #3 Beach - #4 Rope Play I.

Roger... the cutest Bear around... in my books anyhow. Here are 4 more sets of this handsome huggable Bear (members click here: set #1 - set #2 - set #3 - set #4. For previews - preview #1 - preview #2 - preview #3 - preview #4).

These photos were all taken during the summer of '07, when Roger was on vacation. We were up at the cottage where Roger is in his element. He's truly at home in the nature, and the country place is his heaven, his quiet place. You'll see some photos of him lounging about the cottage, baking, then some shots of him working on his dock. One evening, I decided to tie him up in the shed for a bit (there's a video that I took with these photos which I will add on a later date). Alas, all good things come to an end and Roger had to go back to town, so the last set has him back in the city, closing up the pool for the fall, then taking a shower. Almost 200 photos in this update, bringing the number of Roger's photos online here to over 1000.

These are the last sets that were on his BearFoot galleries. I'm not going to go into the whole BearFoot history, just check the archived articles and you'll see how we were going to open the site then realized that we just don't have the time to manage a 3rd site.

Therefore, some of you might have seen these photo sets... however the next time I add photos of Roger, I promise you that you've never seen them before. All I have of Roger are new photos, so keep watching. I also have some video of Roger which will be going in the PlanetBears Videos section. And to speak with Roger, check out his TubeBear profile.

This is another article in my series of 'where have the artists gone to...? Click here to see some drawings by Chris Taylor, a highly defined muscular, intelligent, witty and seriously hot looking Bear (pic #1 ~ pic #2).

The last I heard from him, Chris was doing was working on some comic books. This was back in '03, and I've sent him a couple of emails since but those emails have turned into cyberdust. A highly talented guy, gorgeous and menacing at the same time, because I met Chris Taylor way back in '00 (or '01) at this Bear Icons show. At the time, I was trying to get a 'Bear Mall' open with 2 other guys yet it fell thru, however Chris did some drawings (Bear Foot guy- and his boots). He also made me a BearPress guy (since the site I was running back then was called BearPress - pic #1 - pic #2). I hope all is well and I hope he's still drawing husky men because Chris sure had a knack for it.

Ahh... Roger... I can write a novel about this man... actually I am writing a novel about this man (and my dogs) but that's not what this article is about.

If you've followed anything concerning the BearFoot site, you know it's had its ups and downs. Recently I was planning on giving some life to the site by adding all of Roger's photos into it, as well as the videos. When I met and fell in love with Roger back in February '07... well... if you've ever fallen in love, you know that it's really intense in the beginning. And since I'm a photographer, I took thousands and thousands of poses of him since we've been together. He's almost a muse (as well as being an angel).

Anyhow, I'm already running 2 sites - PlanetBears and TubeBear - and time just hasn't allowed me to work on BearFoot, so once again I have put BearFoot 'on hold' (I think I've put BearFoot 'on hold' at least a dozen times ever since I bought the domain name).

Now I had a bunch of Roger's gallery sets up on BearFoot and I mentioned in the news a few times in the past that PlanetBears members can get to visit the BearFoot galleries, all they had to do was email me and I would give them a user/pw. I then realized that really nobody reads what's on the net since I got like a 10% response to my calls - I even made videos saying 'please email me' and still only a small handful of members replied.

Anyhow, what I've been doing is that I've been relocating those galleries that were on BearFoot over to the PlanetBears Galleries (Roger's Gallery is here), and today I have added 4 of those sets which means I added over 200 photos (bringing the amount of Roger photos to almost 900). And there's also a few videos of Roger in the Video section.

Click here for some previews, and to chat with Roger, visit his profile.

Members, click the following updates - Gallery #1 - Gallery #2 - Gallery #3 - Gallery #4.

I found some over 50 Eito (aka Orlando) pics that I thought I had lost. Check them out here (view all of his galleries here). It's a great set of Eito with a black background. Unfortunately they are only 640x480 or so and I remember when Eito sent them to me they were a lot larger (resolution wise), however I cannot find the original .zip file that he sent, but I'm at least glad I found the smaller versions of them, so I decided to share.

I have spoken a bit about Eito ever since he past away (articles - I also had a section that I dedicated to him on BearFoot but the section is no longer online), mentioning that he was truly an unique guy with a great attitude; that he was a lot of fun to work with when we got together for a photo shoot for Bear-Pics, and truly ~ he was as cute in real person as he is in the photos.

This is definitely the last set of photos that I have of him. I have posted all the other photos of him, guaranteed. Now if I ever do find that .zip file with the original sized photos from this set, I will post them, else this is gonna be the last time I add photos of Eito (unless, of course, someone else has a photo set of him that I don't know about and wishes to share).

Hugz Eito - we miss you...

My goal with that site was to add Roger's (galleries - videos - profile) photos and videos there, and I did manage to place a bunch of photos, a lot of them not seen anywhere else. Now, since I was putting my time and energy into BearFoot and not into the PlanetBears galleries, well I wasn't adding any photos to PlanetBears and some members were getting restless. So... I decided to therefore allow PlanetBears members to 'preview' BearFoot. I made a call in the news stating that all PlanetBears members should contact me and in turn I would give them a temporary user/pw.

Well, after making this call 2 times in the news and once in the newsletter, I would say only 1/10th of the PlanetBears members contacted me in order to get their temp user/pw... which led me to conclude that not many people read what's on the net. I could probably write anything I want and get away with it since people seem to be skipping the text in favour of looking at the pics and videos. I'm not passing judgement, I'm much the same way.

Concerning BearFoot -  I have a bit of bad news, and a bit of good news... and the bad news isn't all that bad. Let's start with the bad. Right now I just don't have the time to open up BearFoot (articles). It's almost ready, however that would mean maintaining another site, and I'm already maintaining 2 websites - PlanetBears and TubeBear - so my plate is full (ask anyone who manages a site - it's a ton of work).

The good news - I'm learning Flash and I'll be testing it on... BearFoot... yes... so I will have something up and running... kinda... sorta... and I might even put my learning process online so you guys can gawk at the flashed up BearFoot and say "sheesh, such primitive Flash skillz..."... or something... however I've always wanted to learn Flash (I tried in 2001 but things kept coming up), however now I'm determined. So keep an eye out for BearFoot and hopefully things will be moving around there soon.

At the beginning of July, ChubTickler was our featured TubeBear profile (article - ChubTickler's profile - prior featured profiles). Actually, the ChubTickler profile consisted of 2 gents - Duane and Lee. Duane is the elder Daddy Bear and Lee was the more leaner chaser one in their relationship. Unfortunately, Lee has recently passed away, and his partner Duane asked to keep his profile up in memory of Lee.

I've mentioned all that before. The new news is that Duane wants to put together a tickle file. From Duane: "I am in the process of putting together a file on my computer in honour of my Lee, who passed from this world last month, as I'm sure at least some of you know. This file will contain not only pictures of my late husband, but pictures of his friends as well as video clips of them being tickled, as Lee had a tickle fetish. I think it only proper to honour my baby in this way. He so loved tying and tickling his friends (he barely ever got the chance to do this)".

What Duane is considering is this: all those who send him something - may it be pics or videos - they will have access to this file. In other words, contribute and you get to view the contents. What we will do is we will place this file on BearFoot and those who do participate will be given access to the file. If you're interested, contact Duane either via his profile or by email.

Here's someone who's got all the right ingredients to being a Daddy Bear; he's good looking, debonair, he's thoughtful, has a nice sense of humour about him, witty while intelligent, modern while paying attention to traditional ways. His name is Richard and he's a husky Bear from Montreal. Check out his gallery here.

These pictures were taken back in January '07. Now there's the long version as to why I never added these pics and there's also the short version. So here's the mid-length version: I met Roger (website - gallery - profile) just shortly after taking these photos, and when you meet the man of your dreams, everything else is placed on the shelf. I was also working on a Valentine's themed movie (it was January and I had a couple of weeks to work on it), and Richard's in it as well as Jacques aka PandaMontreal (website - gallery - profile) and Friedrich (gallery)... I have all the film for it, it's just a question of editing it... anyhow, that got shelved as well.

Fast forward to today and I'm re-discovering all this material I have, so I'm trying to add as much of it as possible, all the while working on some newer material.

Anyway, there you have it. Richard is truly a nice guy, make sure to send him a message via his profile. Click here to see some previews.

To all those who have a membership with PlanetBears (and those who still have their membership since the bear-pics days) - please email me or use the contact form and I will give you a temporary username and password to the BearFoot Galleries which has almost a thousand photos of Roger.

Now I posted this very same article back in the middle of May (here) and I was expecting a lot of you guys to email me. However, I didn't even get the fraction of emails I was expecting... which says to me that a lot of people don't read what's on the net... and well... I know I don't read a whole hell of a lot so I guess it's understandable.

In other BearFoot news: when I wrote that article back in May, I got an email from someone who was interested in buying the domain name. Now this was not the 1st time someone wanted to buy BearFoot but this was the 1st serious offer I received... well... it turned out that it wasn't so serious after all and this guy was just leading me on... I don't think he had any intention on buying the domain name, and we negotiated for a month and even when he got his asking price, he declined, which tells me he was a scam with too much time on his hands.

So... whatever... he's a donkey and I wasted my time. The bad news is that I wasted a month when I could have been working on BearFoot. The good news is that I get to keep the BearFoot domain name.

Anyhow... back to the article... to all those who presently have a membership with PlanetBears, please email me and I will give you a password to the site. It is a temporary password but at least you will get to preview the site. But once the website is finished and we're ready to go live, the password will no longer be good.

So please - contact me... I have something good to give you... honest.

PlanetBears members (and those who signed up with bear-pics and still have their membership), you need to either email me (Forrest) or use the contact form as soon as possible. Why? It's because I have been working hard on BearFoot.com and I want you guys to preview it. Right now there are only photos galleries but there's 845 pictures... and I will be adding more this weekend.

So... all you have to do is email me - if you know your PlanetBears (or bear-pics) username and password, that'll be great... if not, just give me your email that you signed up with when you bought your PlanetBears membership. Once you email me that info, I will email you back a membership pass to the BearFoot galleries.

Now please note: this is just a preview for PlanetBears members. This 'BearFoot' membership password will work for awhile, but it won't last forever. Also, please do not email me if you only have a TubeBear username. TubeBear is a free site; PlanetBears is the one with the pay section.

I've been mentioning BearFoot for quite some time now (from what I can see from the archived articles, I have been mentioning the site since September '07). Now a lot has happened in both Roger's and my life since then, and I've also been working on a lot of projects (PlanetBears site, TubeBear site, a movie which is in the works, a book which is like 75% done)... all that while moonlighting on BearFoot. It might seem that I'm spreading myself a little thinly but for some reason I have many projects, so hopefully you can understand why it takes me awhile to get something done.

Anyhow - hope you guys enjoy the BearFoot preview.

Also - please note - very important - BearFoot will be a paysite, but we are still working on the pay section. It's not available yet so you cannot buy a BearFoot membership. Right now all you can do is buy a PlanetBears membership which will give you access to the PlanetBears galleries and videos, and for a short while the BearFoot galleries - but only for a short while. Once we have the BearFoot pay section up and available, I will be giving super rebates to prior bear-pics and PlanetBears members.

PS - The site is called 'BearFoot - Roger's Adventures' and Roger and I have been trying to write a little about our lives since we met, something so as to accompany the photos. Our adventures are nothing like Indiana Jones, but they are ours and we're sharing. And if this is your 1st time here, check out Roger's TubeBear profile as well as my profile (Bob Forrest).

John who's out in Sydney, Australia of JOHNcc swimwear (website - TubeBear profile - articles) is informing us that he has recently put up a few video stills on his YouTube page. You can see them here.

I have to say that my partner Roger (website - TubeBear profile - galleries) has a pair of Spanks and he wears them every time we go to the pool at the gym. They truly show off his magnificently big beefy husky legs. Actually we made a couple of short little videos with Roger in his Spanks. You can see them on our YouTube page here as well as in one of our introductory videos we made for TubeBear (check out my profile - Forrest). To order your own pair of Spanks, visit their online store.

[Members click here - become a member - previews here] If you've ever visited the bear-pics website I used to run before I closed it down, you just might recall of a shoot I had with Orlando aka Eito. Orlando was very popular and had a lot of online fans. He came up to my place from New York in September 2002 for a weekend and we had a great time, we took a lot of pics and I have a lot of fond memories of getting to know this handsome man. Once the weekend was over, we promised to keep in touch a lot and we even spoke about doing another shoot in the future. However... once he left, we really didn't keep in touch at all. I sent him the occasional email seeing how he was doing and how life was going, and his emails to me were just as scarce. The last email I got from him was March 2003 and he wrote "Hello Forrest, I never forget about you. Here for you" and with it he attached a set of photos he took so I could add to the site.

Exactly 3 years after that shoot we had, in September 2005, I get an email from a friend of his saying that Orlando is very sick and that he's in the hospital. I emailed this friend back asking if there was anyway to contact Orlando. I got a reply with a phone number. Unfortunately, I never called him, and 20 days after his friend initially emailed me, well he sent me another email, this time saying that Orlando had passed away. He was 42 years old.

At the time, I posted an article about Orlando on BearFoot (which at the time was a message board for guys into Bear feet), and holy smokes did I ever get a ton of email replies of guys sending in their condolences. It was really only then that I realized just how many people that Orlando had touched. He was truly a fantasy Bear for many many men.

Also at the time, I was torn - do I take his pics down out of respect or do I keep them up online...? I asked a few friends about this and they all said the same thing: Orlando is cute, he took great pics, he's turned on a lot of men so let him keep turning them on. What they said made sense, so I kept Orlando's pics alive.

However, I have a ton of pics Orlando sent me, and with his permission he told me to post these online. I kind of forgot about all of them (around 240 pics), but going through my archives I came across them and I decided to post these as well. So head on over to Orlando's gallery and check out the last 4 photo sets.

It's still sad to think that he's gone. Just like his pics, he was truly all what a Bear should be - nice on the outside and nice on the inside.

Click here to see some previews - there's some pics from the sets I added today plus there's a few pics that Orlando sent of when he was a younger Bear... and there's 3 quick pics of Orlando in handcuffs. Wish there was more but that's all that I got from him.

Awhile back I asked you guys to find a 'secret' profile that was hiding somewhere on TubeBear, and the idea was for you guys to find it (article - newsletter). I also mentioned that the hint could be found on Roger's profile page. Well the secret profile is called 'BearFoot' and you can see it here (you're going to have to join TubeBear in order to see the gallery). We are still working on the new site BearFoot... we had it actually almost ready but Roger and I decided to rework the galleries so we're redoing it, however we are more than hopeful that we will have this site up by the middle to the end of May.

Now for all those who sent in their answer (and as an aside - all those that did send it got it right) - I will be giving you guys a free month membership once BearFoot is up and running. I will email you guys your membership once we're ready. For now, you can see some of Roger's pics in his gallery page (and here's a larger image of the thumbnail... check out the BearFoot Pic of the Day section).

In TubeBear's Newsletter #3, I mentioned that Roger (photos) has a hidden gallery somewhere on TubeBear, and the idea is to find it. Can you find Roger's hidden gallery?

The gallery can be found on a profile page on TubeBear. So how to find it ~ The first thing to do is go to Roger's actual profile which is here. From there you will get a better idea what to search for (a big clue: check out the name of his new website which he will be opening up soon). Ok once you have done that, then click the search button on TubeBear and in USERNAME type in a keyword or two that you think might be the name of the hidden profile. If you find it - email it in (or use the contact form). I just might give away a small prize for those happy hunters.

PS - I've already gotten several responses already since I posted this article already in the newsletter, however continue to send in your answers and I will call out some winners by the end of the week (which means on Friday, April 8th).

It's been awhile since we posted any news about BearFoot, the site that will be featuring the very handsome Roger and his cute feet (Roger's TubeBear profile and his PlanetBear's gallery).

We are almost ready to open the site; we have a ton of pictures as well as videos that are already on the site which means we are fully stocked once the front doors open. Now the site does focus on Roger's feet but there's a lot of full bodied pictures as well of this extremely sweet and debonair mature Bearish man.

Something you might not know is that Roger is a professional pastry maker and baker. He is also loves computers yet he's in the learning phase (but aren't we all). Roger has been taking night courses and one of the things they have been learning is PowerPoint. He made this slideshow for BearFoot so you guys can get a little taste of what is ahead (you can download either the 2007 slideshow for PowerPoint or the 2003 version - and if you don't have PowerPoint you can always get OpenOffice which is free to download).

I should have posted this picture sometime during the holidays, especially since you're probably overdosed by the holidays by now and do not want to see anything to do with Xmas until December '08... however I still feel like sharing our 'holiday seasons family portrait' with you (also, I'm really hoping that heaven is not run by a bunch of angelic canines because of what I put my puppies through sometimes. Drako just does not look like he's enjoying the antlers on the head. As for myself, I look a little wishy-washy the way my hand is on Roger's knee - my only excuse is that I had to run from the camera since the timer only gives you 10 seconds to find the right pose. Roger and Sasha look incredibly cute, and Drako does too for that matter, and I'm cute as well, or so people say). Click here to see the other pics that we took while we looking for the 'right one' to send out to family & friends.

And now that it's 2008, I'm hoping that the year is starting off well for you and that you are living the life you wish to live. I believe that we have entered a phase within the history of humanity that is allowing us to overcome everything that our ancestors were not able to overcome. I believe we can overcome greed and hatred, and that we can also face our fears and are able to find the positive within our anger, since anger is within all of us therefore anger has a purpose, it's just a question of facing our own anger without being violent or aggressive. Once humanity learns that anger is based from fear (usually the fear of the unknown) - once we overcome our fears - we will start to overcome our angry ways... or so I believe.

I hope you will be able to overcome whatever demons and ghosts that haunt you, that you'll make the best of whatever money and goods that come your way, and that friendship and love is abound within all your relationships, new and old.

And whenever you need an extra dose of 'Bearish' good looking men, then make sure to come back and check out our websites. We have a ton of interesting stuff as well as ideas to share with you in this upcoming new year, so pay us a visit every now and then - all you have to do is bookmark the following sites TubeBear, PlanetBears and BearFoot.

There's a new show on the way from TubeBear (in conjunction with BearFoot) and to see the trailer, check out TubeBear's 1st Newsletter (sign up here to the newsletter and you'll receive updates in your email inbox).

Now the name of the show is untitled, however it just might be called 'Roger & Bob Forrest' - Roger being the handsome and debonair Bear in the story (Roger's gallery and TubeBear profile) and Bob Forrest (that's me - TubeBear profile) is the big bad nasty wolf... or the storyline kind of goes like that.

What Roger and I plan to do is to make vignettes movies - some of them will cute while some of them will be serious. They will always be for adults only (this being an adult website and all) but it's not just about sex... these movies will have content.

Anyhow, our goal right now is to have the 1st short film ready for the end of January 2008. I will keep you up to date here in the news but you'll get better coverage by joining the TubeBear C2C Newsletter. As well, you will also get a few bonuses that others won't.

So check out the trailer and anticipate this new show, and here are a few shots from the trailer (for those who are not able to view the movie for whatever reason). At a certain point, I am pretty sure we will making DVDs which you'll be able to purchase from here.

Roger (gallery - TubeBear profile) and I - Forrest (TubeBear profile) have been very busy lately. Ever since we have moved in together in November, there has been so many things that had to get done, which we have been doing, yet all the while I had to take care of the websites (PlanetBears and TubeBear) all the while working on the new one - BearFoot. At some times the days have flown by so quickly and it felt like I didn't get a single thing done... but things have been getting done, slowly but surely. And now that Roger and I have settled on living together we've been finding more and more time to work, but right now it's the holidays and that's all about inviting people over, getting invited, driving hours and hours to see family, etc. I shouldn't complain since so many people have nobody to see during this time, so I'm not complaining, it's just that our time is once again being chewed up.

The new year is around the corner, but I have to say, 2007 was an excellent year for me. Usually I cannot wait for a new year to roll around so I can start working on all my new year resolutions, but not this time. In 2007 a lot happened. I met Roger which has completely changed my life for the better in a million kazillion ways. I also sold my house and parted ways with a man I lived with for 11 years... the relationship had been dead for 10 of those years but we stayed together out of habit. We both moved on and all I could do is wish him all the best in this world.

Anyhow, getting back to what I was talking about - the holidays are here and I'm still feeling rushed, however once 2008 does roll around, I have nothing else to do but to focus on all the things I want to accomplish, and of course one of my major priority is to have the websites running like well oiled machines. I really have to thank Mother Earth for hooking me up with Niko (TubeBear profile) who has been more than patient for almost 2 years now as we work together in keeping these sites going.

Ok - unrelated - here is a photo set of Roger as the cute husky Bear that I captured and tied up in the countryside shed. There's a video that goes along with these pictures which will be available soon, but for now, enjoy the photos.
