FeedWestern Union Has It All Wrong With Chubby Guy
Written by NetBear on March 2, 2010 – 11:03 am -When Western Union in the UK ran this ad showing a chubby bearded guy who got a too small sweater as a gift, I bet they thought everyone would rather have cash as the “better gift.” That is, until the bears got a hold of it.
Ask most guys that we know and they’d MUCH RATHER have the cute bearded guy than cash any day. A bear in the hand is worth two in your… Well, you know!
Kudos to BigNFuzzy for finding this.

SF Chronicle Article On IBR And Bears
Written by NetBear on February 19, 2010 – 11:57 am -Who are these big furry guys that took over San Francisco last weekend? IBR and the bears got some great press coverage in the SF Chronicle today.
Bill Coulter (from left), JJ Beck and Tony Huerta co-own the well-known bear bar Lone Star Saloon in San Francisco.
“The occasion was the 16th annual International Bear Rendezvous, a five-day convention for self-identified bears, typically denim-, leather- or flannel-clad gay men with meat on their bones and hair on their faces and pretty much everywhere else.”
A very interesting article on IBR and the bears at SFGate. Give it a read.

Extensions Photo Book From Angel Colon
Written by NetBear on January 15, 2010 – 5:39 pm -Photographer Angel Colon has released his second book of bare-skinned male photography that focuses on masculine beauty. Continuing where he left off with his previous work Hirsute, his new book Extensions contains over 100 new photos.
Angel has chosen material that a great many of us will definitely appreciate. He wanted photographs to help show that masculine beauty is not solely the domain of the young, trim and muscular. Extensions has plenty of that too. But it also includes a look at the beefier, more mature and less mainstream types of men.
