It's almost December which means that Beef Mag (TubeBear profile) will be coming out with their newest issue #34 soon (you can see what the front cover is going to look like from their site) - however I have forgotten to mention about their #33 issue which came out in October. Why did I not mention #33 earlier...? It's because I have recently moved and #33 was placed in a box. I found it, opened up the mag and was reminded how cute the models are. I also remembered that I never posted an article so I'm a little late with mentioning #33. You can get a subscription from their site or you just might see it on the rack at your local smut shop.

Head on over to BearFoot.com and check out the latest Pic of the Day. Now I have to be honest and say that progress has been a little slow over at BearFoot - in the sense that I haven't had the time in the past couple of weeks to work on the new website. However my time should be freeing up for me in the near future which means I'll be able to devote more energy to BearFoot.

The main characters of BearFoot include Roger (gallery) and his hubby and lover and life partner - Forrest (TubeBear profile) - and Forrest is me (and Roger needs a TubeBear profile, which we will be adding soon as well). Roger is an extremely handsome man with a hot Bearish body that he digs to show off. Meanwhile, I love photographing his body so we are truly a match made in heaven.

Now I realize how many men have a 'thing' for Bear's feet that we decided that - altho we are going to show a lot of full body shots of Roger - we are going to place a serious amount of attention on his meaty feet.

I have a ton of pictures and video already, it's just a question of sorting them out and adding them online, and this is my homework for the next month or so. For now, sign up to our newsletter and we will email you when the site is ready. And signing up to our newsletter means you will get a few benefits as well.

So patience - just an update here to say that I haven't had any time to work on the site but it's on the top of my 'to do' list for the next upcoming weeks.

It's time to check in on the rounds of podcasts done by Bears. The last time was just over a month ago (article here) - so let's see what all them handsome men with the sexy voices have been up to.

Starting with Australia's Bears in the City - they've made 3 since I last spoke about them, bringing them #18. Over at BTalk, they've been very busy, adding 5 more, now up to #108. Moving on over to Foul Monkeys, they have been working hard as well, giving us another 6 shows bringing their count up to #128.

Now time to go over to BearZero (TubeBear profile) - a video podcast done by the American Bad Bear Studios guys (who have been working hard on their site - good stuff). They too have been hard at work offering 2 new shows, #9 and #10.

Where were we... oh yes... we must never forget Nard (TubeBear profile) and BearPodCast... he's done an incredible 8 shows in the past month. Nard told me he is trying to get in 2 shows a week. Wild. He's up to #164.

There is also a new podcaster - you might remember him as the co-pilot to BearPodCast - his nick being ExcaliBear - well he's now flying solo with his own show called Roy Can Has Podcast. He has 5 shows so far. And he nows has a co-pilot, his nick being BhreBear.

The following is from Bruin (TubeBear profile), the cartoonist for the weekly Bear With Me: "This week, after apologizing to Ed for his emotional outburst, Andy asks some tough questions that get to the heart of the Ed/Constance hook-up: is Ed, indeed Gay? How did all this happen? Why would Ed pick Constance?

Inevitably, Andy gets far more information that he's comfortable with, but when one plays with fire, one should expect to get burned. Stay tuned, because Andy is likely to seek out Constance's views on the relationship. What is the likelihood she and Ed will seethe relationship headed in the same direction?".

A very happy birthday is going out to GianOrso (website - TubeBear profile), the very well known Italian photographer who has taken some of the most beautiful pics of some of the most handsome Bearish men on this planet.

Now a good friend of his, Jacques, aka PandaMontreal (website - TubeBear profile - gallery) is very 'up' on anniversaries. For Jacques, birthdays are very important, so much so that he wrote a little ode to GianOrso for his birthday. Click here to read what Jacques wrote to GianOrso while checking out some shots of this equally handsome photographer (the pics of GianOrso were taken by Lupercus). Hugz and happy bday, Gianni.

FunFur.tv is one of those excellent sites you need to check out (here's their TubeBear profile). There's a ton of Bear videos made mostly by Jonathan Robinson (website). Since the last article we wrote about FunFur, they have added 2 more short video clips entitled 'Bears at Chunk Night' and 'More Dare Bears'. There's also a BearFilms competition going on and it's your last chance to win one a new 2008 calendar.

Find Your Future You...

If you have a few minutes today, check out this excellently designed site created by Svedka vodka. Find a picture of yourself and see what you will look like in the year 2033. I saw this link over at Dart's blog page who runs BearBound (here's his TubeBear profile).

His name is Jrice, his nickname is Chubtoons and he runs a blog right here that consists of "erotic imagery of the larger than life man". What you have to love is that Jrice is a super cutey. From his profile, he says he is "a big man with a passion for meaty male physiques... a struggling cartoonist with aspirations of a career in erotic art".

It was the artist Perdido (website - blog - TubeBear profile),  creator of Bear Degeneration (website - articles) who directed me towards Jrice's work, and if you can read Italian (or use a translator), you will see a great article about Mr. Chubtoons that Perdido wrote, stating that Jrice's artwork is "full of colour" and has a great "joie de vivre" about it.

While you're at it, check out Jrice's Geocities page - you'll see some of his older drawings.

BearFoot.com is coming along and the goal is to have the site opened for either the end of November or at the beginning of December.

By the amount of people who have been signing up for our BearFoot newsletter, it's great to see such an interest in this new site. At BearFoot, you will be seeing the adventures of Roger and Forrest. Roger is a truly handsome husky hairy and gentle Bear. He's got an amazing body with strong legs and truly cute feet. He is Forrest's lover and Forrest is me - and we have been taking 1000s of pictures including a small ton of video... it's just now a question of sorting it all out for you.

The newsletter is here and those who sign up will be the 1st to know when the site will open. There will be other benefits for signing up - just add your email and you're in.

For now, check out the POTD section on BearFoot. POTD is short for 'Pic of the Day'. We are going to try and add a new picture every day (or at least every other day). There's a few so far, go check the pics out.

See our office...

Over at TubeBear, we are now testing webcam streaming of the highest quality. Flash Media has been coming out with some incredible software and AdminBear (TubeBear profile) has been working hard at implementing it to the website.

Right now we are testing this software and we have the camera pointing at our office (Roger - gallery - and Forrest profile). We are going to keep testing all week. You might see us and you might not since we do have some things to do away from the office today. But we're testing and if all goes well, we will soon have some incredible webcamming features available for all of you fine looking gents who like to C2C (Cam to Cam).

For now, see our office, and if you have any comments, email me (Forrest) or use the submit form.

Sometimes it's just best said by the artist himself. The following is from Bruin (TubeBear profile), the one and only cartoonist for Bear With Me:

"In last week's episode, Andy went totally ballistic, and actually struck Ed. This week, Andy is still blowing his top, but Constance steps in to set her son straight. Once Andy's tirade is interrupted, things calm down pretty quickly, but this entire incident may haunt Andy for quite a while. Ed and Constance? Who could've foreseen such an odd pairing? Will it last? What will Andy make of this relationship? Will Constance give up the high life to become a bar maid? Will Ed have to trade in his bar vest for a three-piece suit? Stay tuned, gentle readers".

Now if you're in London and not sure how to meet up with some of those fine looking British Bears, then I highly suggest you contact Mitch (TubeBear profile). This very good looking Bearish man runs Come To Daddy.

The following is from his site which explains what is Come to Daddy and where they meet (Mitch has informed us that he is right now revamping his site and the new design should be up soon): "Running since March 2004, Come To Daddy is a weekly Wednesday nighter at King's Cross' infamous gay club Central Station. The night is aimed at all bears, daddies, big boys, chubs and chasers. Cruise, booze and fall about to retro floor-fillers. Classic 70s and 80s dance, pop and nrg with contemporary booty shakers thrown into the mix. We have regular guest DJs, who all bring their own particular flavour to the night. Check the diary section for more details. Enjoy the filthy fur films or explore the maze and darker corners of the club. Following the success of the London night, Come To Daddy expanded to host monthly club events in Bristol. We have just taken up a new Bristol residency each month at Flamingos" (and it looks like Flamingos is working on their new site as well).

Right at this moment, EBMC (European Big Men's Convergence - TubeBear PRO profile) is in full swing in Brussels, Belgium and will be rocking right thru until November 5th. The event is hosted by the Girth & Mirth Belgium club and their website is the well known BiggerWorld.com (TubeBear PRO profile).

All that being said, I want to timewarp back when the internet was a relatively unknown entity, back to 1994, back when a 14.4k was the hottest thing on the market. BiggerWorld was online and was one of the 1st websites for big men on and their admirers (SoundChaser being another site - website - articles - TubeBear profile) and it's popularity grew up until they had to shut down a lot of their features, such as the free galleries (more Biggerworld history here). 

I remember back then when I was visiting their site and I came upon one of their section that consisted of a 3D virtual world. Back in '95 there was a place called Alpha World (now called Active Worlds (website - Wiki) in which you could build your own home in a virtual space. I marvelled at BiggerWorld's virtual space because I had never experienced anything quite like that. Only a bit later did I discover games like Doom and Quake, yet it was BiggerWorld that introduced me to 3D virtuality.

Philippe from G&M Belgium informed me that the virtual world he created was destroyed by the owners of Alpha World, and as he stated, it was "a lot of work reduced to nothing" yet he did save some screenshots which he sent us. Click here to see them.

Friday means update time over at BearBound - 3 new galleries of cute Bears bound including 2 new short clip videos. BearBound has been around for 5 years and has earned itself a very good reputation with the vast amount of pictures and clips you get once you pick up a membership.

BearBound has a PRO profile with TubeBear, and meet the man behind this great site - Dart (TubeBear profile). If you run a Bear site, why not make a professional profile on TubeBear as well as a personal profile introducing yourself. You get to advertise your site free with large banners 720x90 pixels that will show up on the main page of TubeBear in rotation with the others. It's simple to make a PRO profiles, details are here.

There's one secret of mine that I have been sharing with you guys for a very long time... and it's my 'thing' for men's feet... or more specifically... for Bear men's feet. For as long as I can remember, I've been turned by men, their beefy legs as well as their feet.

I've been taking photographs of Bearish guys for years now and I've always tried to take as many 'full' shots as possible; full in the sense of getting in the whole Bear into the frame ~ from his handsome head to his cute stubby toes. It's important to me that the whole man can be seen in the images.

This being said: feet are truly fun to look at as well as to focus on, and with our new site BearFoot.com, we are planning on taking a lot of 'closeups' of some extremely good looking Bearish feet, but we're still going to add a ton of 'full' shots as well.

Who is we...? We would be Roger (gallery) and myself, Forrest (TubeBear profile). Read the full article here.

There's some folks on this planet that believe that Chubs... they rule. To prove that point, just head on over to the Chubsrule.com website, run and maintained by Jack and Tyler. Learn more about this very cute couple here and check out Tyler's TubeBear profile.

To further their belief that Chubs rule this planet, they organize an event called Chubfest which takes place at the clothing optional Desert Moon Resort in sunny Palm Springs from February 8th thru the 10th. Here is more about Chubfest from their site: "Chubfest information is finally here. For anyone that hasn't been to Chubfest before, this is a weekend for Bigmen, Bears and the people who like them. Everyone is welcome as long as they like or are a big man, although we tend to attract an older crowd".

Monday morning madness for many of you hot looking executive Bears... looking all snazzy in your tailor made business suits... and it's just possible that your suit is a size too small because you're refining into a husky Bear, so that suit just bulges on you, as if your body were about to burst out of it and...

Holy cow... where is my head... it's Monday and that means it's time to quickly head over to Bear With Me, a weekly cartoon drawn by Bruin (TubeBear profile). Things have not only heated up over there but looks like things have turned for the worse. Andy becoming violent...? One must stay tuned.

The following is from cartoonist, Bruin "The fur is flying in Andy's world, and Constance is being surprisingly forthright in explaining her activities. Apparently, her new-found candor isn't the only thing that has changed, and it's not going over well with Andy. Things get even more complicated once Ed re-enters the picture. Oh, the drama! ...and where did Andy get those gloves all-of-a-sudden?".

Winter is slowly approaching and for someone like me who lives up north, that means a ton of snow is piling up and getting to be blown my way. So what does this make me want to do...? It makes me want to work harder so I can make money so I can pay my hubby and I a trip to some place terribly warm for a couple of weeks. And what do I want to wear while I'm lazying about that white sandy beach...? A pair of Spank swimwear, that's what. Check out their website ~ JOHNcc.com ~ and while you're there, learn a bit more about the very cute Bear couple that design and produce these swimsuits: Peter (TubeBear profile) and JOHNcc (TubeBear profile). Also check out Spank's TubeBear PRO profile (learn more about PRO profiles here).

Wonder what your buns just might look like in a pair of these Spank swimming suits...? Then check out this page to see some promotional pictures they took. Honestly, what looks better on a pair of Bear buns than the word 'spank'...?

2007 is quickly becoming a memory as 2008 lures in our future, foretelling us of all the possible fortunes and frolicking one could possibly enjoy...

It also means it's almost time to pick up a new calendar for your home office or near your kitchen sink, and a great way on celebrating  the upcoming 2008 months is by lusting over the ButchBear models. The calendar Muscle + Fur is out and availaible, promising "36 hot and exclusive color nude pictures of Butch Bear models, plus a centerfold of one of our new hot discoveries Matthew Ford" (TubeBear profile).

Also - check out their newest model for the month of October. His name? Fittingly - Butch Grant is on the cover of Butch Bear.

It's just around the corners - HiBearNation - an event hosted by the Show Me Bears. It is going to take place from November 8th thru the 11th in St. Louis, Missouri.

The following is from their website: "The unofficial meet and greet party begins on Thursday. Friday evening we offer a free dinner and drinks while guests mingle. Later that night we begin our bar crawl. We finish off Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings with very frisky after hours parties, complete with food, drinks and plenty of men. Donuts, coffee and juice are provided on Saturday and Sunday mornings. We'll have an optional dinner Saturday evening, just before the charity auction and an optional breakfast on Sunday morning. Join us Sunday evening for Furball followed by the final after hours party. JJ's Clubhouse & Bar will be sponsoring the 3rd annual Blue Ribbon Bear Contest, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Registered guests receive bus service to scheduled events, after hours parties with free food, drinks and more".

Lastly, Bear Crusader (TubeBear profile) - a band from Montreal - will be there as entertainment.
