UNB Model Profile featuring Scott Cullens

IMG_9503

In our continuation of the Model Profile Series, Underwear News Briefs sat down to talk about the current career of Model Scott Cullens.

UNB Kyle:  What was your first modeling gig and how did you come to get it?

Scott:  My first modeling gig was a television commercial for Bass Pro Shops when I was about 18 years old.  I was wearing swimwear on my first commercial job which is kind of funny since nothing has changed after all these years – I’m still standing in front of the camera with barely anything on!

Kyle:  What made you want to pursue modeling?

Scott:  I never sought to be a model, I have always owned a business and did the modeling on the side.  Modeling is a great motivator to keep in shape and not fall into the habit of becoming engulfed in work and getting lazy.

Kyle:  Which shoot do you consider your breakthrough in your career?

Scott:  I booked more jobs in my 40’s than at any previous time. I hired a trainer and a nutrition consultant/bodybuilding coach when I was first hired to shoot with Mark Henderson.  I decided that I wanted to take my physique to a new level and look the best I had at any previous age.  I was on a mission and I followed the advice of my trainers intensely and it paid off.

Kyle:  You look fantastic so it has definitely paid off!  Which shoot has been your favorite? Why?

Scott:  It is difficult to say which shoot has been my favorite.  I have made so many great friends along the way, met some talented artists and stayed in some amazing cities.  I really couldn’t name one in particular but every one of them, as I think about it now, brought some cool memory, friend or photo.

Kyle:  That is great that there is so much personal that can be taken away from each shoot.  I can imagine the experience can not be described in words.  Which shoot has been your most challenging? Why?

IMG_0200Scott:  The most challenging shoots have been the ones where I was required to be aroused for several hours during the shoot.  The dieting, water and carb depletion makes it just a little tough to be aroused and it is already not a sexual environment.  It’s even more difficult when you are outside and the water is cold, or the sun is blazing or beach sand is in your crack or some other forces of nature are against your weiner and there is no media to view.  This is a silly subject – next question. LOL

Kyle:  What goes through your mind right before you have to do these revealing shoots?

Scott:  The only thing that goes through my mind before a “revealing” shoot is “did I time the diet and water loss correctly.” It’s an exact science and a few hours can be the difference between hot and not.

Kyle:  And how about most embarrassing shoot?  

Scott:  Most embarrassing shoot situation was during a video shoot I did with Quentin Elias and Robert Gonzales in Los Angeles. They put us all in silver shorty shorts and made us shake our asses in the camera in unison to the track.   

Kyle:  Haha!  That is hysterical but I am sure you were not laughing at that moment, especially with sand in places you didn’t know sand could go!  Are there any brands or photographers you would like to work with that you have not worked with yet?

Scott:  I have worked with many of the best artists and I am privileged they have included me in their art.  However, there are still a few that I would love to work with and my agents have already either arranged or are in the process of coordinating either work or testing.  I am quite sure I am the world’s oldest fitness model and I will work hard to keep my shit together as long as the interest remains.  We will see what is next but lately I have put more energy into media outside print.

Kyle:  You don’t look like the oldest and regardless of age, you are right there with the rest in terms of physique and ability.  What is something that your fans don’t know about you outside of modeling that you want them to know?

Scott:  I am not sure there is anything that would surprise my fans.  I do not compartmentalize my life for different social media sites or with my fans.  If you Google Scott Cullens, you will see many of the luxury houses that I built and designed for my company Palm Pacific Construction along with television, movie, and print projects.  All of my posts are public, all of my comments are public, all of my projects are posted public and all of my pictures are public.  I am eager everyday to build things whether it is a house or my body – I love creating.  So I look at everything I create as one big project. I don’t hide anything, I don’t censor my life so I look better to fans, new clients or online readers.  I am a very happy guy and the best gift I can give is to be open and authentic.

Kyle:  Thank you for that.  We appreciate seeing a man for all he is.  What kind of diet and exercise do you do to prepare for shoots?

Scott:  I keep in pretty good shape all year long because I am always only a few weeks away from shooting something.  However, I definitely have a strict carbohydrate, cardio and training routine days prior to a project.

Kyle: And I know you have one so what is your favorite cheat meal?

Scott:  Pizza is my Kryptonite.

Kyle:  What is the craziest pair of underwear you have worn?  

Scott:  I was just recently shot in black lace underwear. They looked like girl’s panties on the set table. Once I got them on and squeezed all my assets into them, they looked pretty cool. 

Kyle:  Looking at your underwear drawer, what is it made up of? % boxer briefs, % briefs, % jocks, % thongs.

Scott:  I have an underwear fetish. I probably have a couple hundred pairs of drawers, mostly briefs and about 40-50 jocks. Everything in life goes well when you have on good underwear!

I know we ask you guys what you want for Holidays. I thought I would share what I have on my wish list for this Holiday season. There are some great pairs out there right now that I really want to try or have my collection updated:

csx76-emerald_green-1

Cocksox CSX 76 Sports Brief – I love the fit of Cocksox and believe it or not I haven’t tried any of the CSX Collection. This pair comes in my favorite color, GREEN

esbs08_n_2z1__39135.1405425469.1280.1280

Ergowear BSC Bikini – One of my very first brands I discovered that fit guys who need extra room in the pouch. I also love a bikini cut

9558_2_

Andrew Christian Trophy Boy Brief – I really love this line from Andrew Christian. I want to spice up my underwear drawer with some bright colors and this yellow would be perfect

IS_Billy_EssenceNavy_02_140812085546

aussieBum Billy Boy Brief – This line from aussieBum reminds me of the underwear I bought growing up. The prints are amazing and fun. Plus it’s not a small bikini cut but just right.

Unknown-9

Mundo Unico Short Boxer Pinos – One of my latest things I love in underwear are patterns and prints. Mundy Unico has always done amazing work in both. Even before it became one of the in things in underwear. I love the Unico Pouch as well!

PM1-14-Full

N2N Bodywear Power Mesh Jock – Now I couldn’t all do briefs. I do have jocks on my list as well. N2N makes underwear for every guy to feel sexy in. I love the red jock best but anything they make is good with me!

Unknown-15

2EROS Neo Brief – I have the jock and love it. The pouch is amazing and fits really well. Plus I love the bright colors adjacent the black fabric. It’s just a great pair not to mention the cool fly design.

These are just a few of the MANY pairs I want. When I sat down to do this post my brain is on over load and as soon as I post this I will remember about 10 other pairs I want. Plus this list is always changing. But this is an overview of what I would love to get this holiday season from someone special. Since I don’t have someone special I guess I’ll have to get them myself !

4119_2259bYou maybe asking Chaps? Yes we are profiling chaps from Andrew Christian. We are doing this for two reasons. First, there are a ton of you out there who love fetishwear and will love this! Second, they are an amazing price for chaps. Granted I wouldn’t say ride your motorcycle and use them for protection. But for a nite at home or a fetish bar night these would be perfect.

First thing you notice is they are gold. Not, gold lame gold but more of a muted look to them. That doesn’t mean you won’t draw attention to the in the metallic fabric. The thing that stands out to me the most is the the belt loops on the chaps. I’m not sure what you would wear with them but it’s more like a pair of jeans rather than chaps.

Here is what the Andrew Christian site says “Every sexy man has a cowboy fantasy, and these will help you fulfill it. Made out of our new super shiny metallic fabric, they hug in all the right places with just the perfect amount of stretch to help you move comfortably. They also feature dark, asymmetrical fabric trim to make this pair even more unique. You can pair this chap with our Hardware Jock (style 9634), made from the same fabric, for an awesome look”

Also you can pair this with the Flare Harness too. Its pictured in the pics below. Pair it with the jock and you could have a fun night in.

These are all limited edition pairs so don’t miss out! I just think they are super fun and thought we needed to profile them! And let’s face it can’t we all use some new fetishwear from time to time? Fetishwear is something that allows us to be someone else for a night. We all have our favorite fetishwear, though some people won’t admit it, but we know who you are! Lets face it fetishwear is a great way to spice up the love life.

So head over to the Andrew Christian site to check these out and some great mesh/see through pairs they released.

xmas-sale2014Sure, the spirit of the holiday is about giving, but your shopping is done, you’ve trudged through the snow (or through the sweltering sun for our friends in the southern hemisphere,) you’ve battled crowds in malls and may even have bruises to show for it. But now it’s all over and we think it’s time to treat yourself.

In celebration of another shopping victory, Jockstrap Central is offering 15% off of everything at their store from now until December 28th (midnight) – so treat yourself, you deserve it!

To take advantage of this offer simply head to Jockstrap Central and you’ll find all their jockstraps, underwear, shorts, long johns, wrestling singlets and more all reduced by 15%. What are you waiting for? Get shopping.

515f1f8a974f83e9ba599e60709fb28aWe all love underwear, or you wouldn’t be reading this blog. There are brands that I know in years of following underwear that I think you guys should definitely know. ErgoWear is one of those brands. I have had several pairs of them even before I started UNB. They were well made and super comfortable. Some of you out there may already know the brand but those who don’t, here is a brief introduction.

The main thing you need to know about them is they have an ergonomically designed pouch. Meaning it’s designed to fit a guy and feel natural. They don’t use straps or anything else in the pouch to “enhance” you. It’s all done in a natural way that will give you the enhance without the hassle. I think the enhance is just a side effect of the underwear. I LOVE a great pouch, and ones that have enough room but give you support are hard to find. ErgoWear has always done this very well.

You maybe asking well what kind of styles do they man. Insert a “I’m a (insert style) kind of guy, and hate (insert style).” Well you are in luck, because they make their amazing pouch in every style. The styles range from long boxer briefs to thongs and everything in between. No pair lacks the amazing pouch.

As a side note they do make swimwear but for this post we are just focusing on the underwear. The very first pair I ever had was the X3D bikini. It’s made out of a nylon spandex blend and is white. For the life of me I don’t recall where I bought it from. I has been in my collection since the mid 2000’s. I always love wearing it and it’s still in rotation in my underwear collection. I am going to get a few new pairs of the brand coming up soon!

So if you want some great underwear check out Ergowear. It has an amazing pouch in every style you could ever want!

Pisol PeteI know we have a ton of jock fans out there. Some of you guys love a traditional jock. A traditional jock is defined by the thick waistband (usually around 3 inches) a pouch and leg straps around 1 inch wide. These days these jocks are getting harder to find in fashion colors. Pistol Pete has created the Devious Jock for the lovers of the traditional jock.

This jock is the traditional cut but updated to put the Pistol Pete spin on it. The waist band has a white, red and black strip with the Pistol Pete name written in the white. It also has a drawstring in the waist band. The jock main color comes in Black or Red. And is available for $26.00

This jock has the Pistol Pete spin on it and is one you could wear to the gym or sporting event. Heck you could even wear your favorite jeans. It’s great to see a traditional jock back in the world of men’s underwear!

UNB Photographer Profile featuring

We recently started a new project with models where we profiled them for our readers to get to know as well as showcased their best work.  We decided to expand this new venture to also include the artists behind the camera, the photographers.  Their vision and talent enhances each photo shoot, advertisement, and continues to bring brand awareness to the public.

In our first photographer profile, Underwear News Briefs sat down with Gavin Harrison, the man behind the camera at Gavin Harrison Photography.

UNB Kyle:  What was your first photo shoot and how did you come to get it?

Gavin:  My first real shoot was for a Bridal company shooting at a country house. I got the job via a model agency. I’d been doing tests shots of their Models.

Kyle:  What made you want to pursue photography?

Gavin:  I’d been working for a few years as an illustrator and I was taking shots to use as reference material for the drawings. So I got more into shoots than drawing. Plus I was really into fashion magazines and was inspired by the work of Bruce Weber.

Kyle:  Which shoot do you consider your breakthrough in your career?

Gavin:  I think I’m still waiting for it to happen. I never like my shots after a few days of taking them.

Kyle:  You have beautiful shots but we are our biggest critics!  Definitely a talent in my opinion.  How about a mini breakthrough or great experience?  

Gavin:  I did shoot a few times for the Royal Opera House which was pretty cool.  

Kyle:  Which shoot has been your favorite? Why?

Gavin:  I can’t think of anyone shoot. But when I used to spend winters shooting in Miami was really fun. I made some good friends while shooting there and the weather was great.

Heat6a-rsb-smlKyle:  Which shoot has been your most challenging? Why?

Gavin:  I think every shoot is a challenge. A to try and not repeat yourself and to try and offer something different to other photographers. Plus often things don’t go to plan. Clothes samples get delayed, no show models, Make up artist miss the train etc etc lol

Kyle:  Are there any brands or models you would like to work with that you have not worked with yet?

Gavin:  In fashion there’s always new and exciting designers who’s clothes I’d love to shoot and a new crop of exciting models. It never stops.

Kyle:  How do you prepare creatively and determine your environment for the shoot? Is it determined by you, the brand, or a collaboration?

Gavin:  I try to work on new ideas daily. Then when I get a commission I try to match the requirements of the brand to my ideas. But if nothings working I start from scratch. Having previously worked as an illustrator Im always drawing ideas or scribbling notes.

Kyle:  It must be pretty amazing to have the ability to illustrate these ideas in your head and bring them to life in such beautiful artistry.
