Mark o' Distinction

I don't believe that I've ever served up the same guy as the Man for Monday two weeks running, but I'm doing it now.

And that's because it's the first Monday in August, time for the new Man of the Month, and I'd decided to name Marco Dapper for that. Just the right kind of guy for a hot, steamy month like August.

It's been a few months since Marco was being featured on every other blog I saw, but hopefully that's because he's been busy getting his acting career off of the ground. I wish him well with that. As for his many appearances in many photographs on many blogs, that may mean that you've seen most of the pics in my clip already. But they're worth seeing again, and I think you might enjoy watching it for the song alone.

X-Ray Vision of Loveliness

As long as I've declared Marco Dapper my Man for Monday, here's another pic of him.

He's slightly younger in this photo, and last October I uploaded to Superhero Universe a version of it where I'd painted a Superman costume over his body. The edges of his belt are a bit too fuzzy, but in general I like the way it turned out.

I may have shown this one here before -- I don't actually remember -- but if this is a repetition, forgive me.

Marc O' Quality

Marco Dapper. Just because I like looking at him.

By the way, does anybody know how tall he is?
He doesn't look very tall on camera, but I'm trying to convince
a friend of mine that he would be right for a script
he's producing, and for some reason height is an issue.

Eating Out Doors

Marco Dapper, in a recent photo
by Orange county photographer Sonny Tong.

(Incidentally, to all of you from whose Websites I've stolen photographs,
I offer this blanket apology if I don't give credit where it is due.
The truth is that I simply haven't kept track of where I took some photo from,
so I can't always mention the source -- at least my source, if not the original.)

While looking around to find links for this posting, I came across this quotation from Marco in some magazine interview: "My roommate says 'You're one of the gayest straight guys I know'." I can relate, because I'm always hearing just the opposite. Gays think I'm straight, and straight women think I'm gay. It's very bad for business, so to speak.

I had Marco on the mind because I spend so much of yesterday watching Eating Out 2. I love the moment when someone says "I'm bisexual," and everyone else -- straight and gay -- yells "There's no such thing!" I can relate to that too.

The movie's only 2 years old, but Marco's body has certainly matured and hardened, but I think I still kinda prefer the younger version. Here are a couple of stills from the movie for comparison's sake.

This is a still from Marco's first scene, where he's just stripped down to nothing to pose for an art class. Only three students in that class have any lines, but they're all drooling enough to ruin anything they'd drawn.

Behind him is the supposedly straight art teacher (played, I think, by Michael Serrato) who makes a point of mentioning his "wife" in practically every utterance so we'll know he's straight. That about as effective as the joke I made on YouTube that Ryan Daharsh "can't be gay. He's from Nebraska."

And this still is from a scene that had Marco stripped to his underwear and posing for erotic photos with Marc (with a C), played by Brett Chukerman. The camera stops, but they keep going.

Of all the guys in this film, I think I'm most jealous of Nicholas James.

Not only is he gorgeous in and out of his wetsuit, but he's appeared in two films so far: one with Marco Dapper, and one with Kevin Gould. That lucky blue-eyed bitch!
