The always attractive Joe Mannetti (aka Joe Falconi - photo with Santa - profile) has been continuously busy working within the Bear community as to raise awareness as well as money for charities. He's a truly husky hunky man that has a selfless way about life. Here's what he's been up to since winning several Bear contests (articles). From Joe:

"This is shaping up to be a very busy month! It's all good! I volunteered with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (website - articles) at a toy drive for Children with AIDS at Oil Can Harry's on Saturday (November 29th). We collected a sack full of toys for the children and raised nearly $400 by the end of the evening. Woo hoo!

On Monday (December 1st), I volunteered for Long Beach AIDS Foundation's World Aids Day event serving drinks and handing out snacks to all the attendees! What a great event! The young people there participated in an art display that was inspiring. I'll be helping out at two more toy drives for children, and I am honored to be able to be at all of them. Life is good! You always get back from giving, and I am meeting some of the best people in our community who are always willing to give to others".

His real name is Joe Mannetti however many of you know him as Joe Falconi (photo - courtesy of Lee Friend of Talk Magazine) . He has been the heartthrob to many a Bear lover as he's appeared in quite a few photo shoots, magazines and Bear movies. You might even remember seeing him for a few seconds on Conan O'Brien (altho much to the dislike of CyberBears).

Well Joe has been a very busy Bear of late, especially with the ton of work he puts into the GLBT community. You should check out this article on The Complete Bear (website - profile) to see all the things he has been up as well as all the things he'll be doing.

Oh - he also just won the Mr. Los Angeles Bear '08 title held by BearsLA at Oil Can Harry's last September 13th. A huge congratulations goes to him.

On a personal note, I have always found Joe super duper cute ever since I first saw his photos on BearBound (preview pics of Joe - articles - profile). There's something about him that just captures your eye... and keeps it focused on him. I'm sure we'll be hearing more from him in the upcoming future.
