hey guys.. i know, it's been 3 months and i promised you all some photo shoots of some of my pals.. but! things get crazy, you know? just hang on, it's about to pop!

first, thanks to Walter van Beirendonck for acknowledging bearstyle's, er, acknowledgement of him! he reposted the blog on his facebook and added me as a friend. sweet, right? send us some free kix, Walt! (hee hee)

so I'd like to talk to you today about Kurt Jo. I typed in "non-typical male models" at google, looking for some bear/chubby models and this handsome gentleman showed up. He's a DJ and model from Hawaii now living in NYC,

and he's a part of the New York fashion agency Ugly NY. Take a gander at some of his pics and peep his style! Also watch this terrible Rachel Ray video (it's the only one of him i can find) and see how much of a sweetheart he is.

For more pix and to download some of his mixes, which at first listen are deep/spacey euro disco, go here: http://kurtjo.com/
