Memories of Fitness Model - Matthew "Jett" Schaefer


6'3" Matthew "Jett" Schaefer was a great looking guy with a sad story.  Practically the definition of a man's man, Schaefer was a pilot, surfer and fitness model.   He was discovered by Versace and worked for Armani, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and many more major labels. He appeared as a model on the VH1 Fashion Awards show performing live on stage and co-hosting part of the show. he also appeared in TV ads for McDonalds and Dr. Pepper with LeAnn Rimes and Reba McEntire.

Then he got cancer. Then he beat cancer. Then it came back!  He managed to beat it again but the chemotherapy left him with no immune system and he died from a sinus infection. Sometimes I ask guys if I can take their pictures and they say "No not yet I'm not perfect yet."  To which I respond "You'll never be perfect and what if you die tomorrow?"  Thank goodness Jett's photos will be on the net for a long time and people will remember him because, someday, we will all just be old pictures on the Internet.

Bodybuilder & Fitness Model - Sean Royer.

Channing Tatum for GQ Magazine



Channing Tatum covers and features in the new issue of GQ magazine and in his coverstory interview he opens up about his stripper past … about how he doesn’t regret anything!! Photographed by Nathaniel Goldberg.

Two years ago, Channing Tatum had a great interview and jaw-dropping photoshoot when he covered the GQ August 2009 issue.

The magazine has once again chosen Chan to cover their magazine, and I'm thinking fans are going to yet again go crazy over the pictorial in the March 2011 issue where you'll learn why GQ says "Channing Tatum is crazy" and invites "you to spend twenty-four hours deep in the California desert (bring some tequila and a sleeping bag) with probably America's most fun movie star."
