Live From Studio 1010: It's Manifest Men!
Among the so-called "muscle worship" sites Manifest Men has been our favorite and this weekend we were once again reminded why. The site treated its members to SIX live & free shows broadcast directly from its SoCal studio loft, or as it's more commonly known Studio 1010. The fact that they happened wasn't news but Manifest Men has improved them to a level of near-perfection that it gave us reason to mention the site once again. These newest shows reflect what we have perceived as the site's unofficial modus operandi--to present quality entertainment, to set itself apart from other similarly-themed sites, and to seemingly never to rest on its laurels.
As we've noted in the past, live shows are not new at Manifest Men (or at other prestigious sites for that matter) but last year they evolved into weekly events, free to its members. Manifest Men added a larger video viewer and improved the visual quality and added sound. The decision was then made to use the studio loft to its maximum potential by airing the filming of photo and video shoots AS they happened.
This enabled viewers to see the behind-the-scenes and interact with the crew. After working out technical & logistical problems (and pretty quickly too) the live studio shows wound up looking seamless and glitch-free so that this weekend viewers got a chance to see near-perfection. Add to this a bonus, unscheduled show and it all worked out beautifully.
First up was Damon Danilo whose rock-hard physique has wowed fans at the site and in several publications including a fall cover & interior layout at Men Magazine (it's expected that he'll be getting lots of votes in next year's "Man of the Year" competition). Danilo also is quite popular with those who like hung muscle guys and those who like it when the models get verbal. The photoshoot took place on Friday evening while the video shoot took place on Saturday afternoon (Jan 17). A humorous note about this one--Damon Danilo was situated in the window slowly "milking the bull" and site host Alex went downstairs to confirm that he couldn't be seen from street level. As it turned out, he could be seen from outside and an older couple got a free show!
Next up was Xavier who wound up giving four shows thanks to several photo and video shoots over Saturday & Sunday. Xavier is another treat to watch because he has a natural dusting of body hair and has a similarly natural and thick muscular physique. He's also a hard worker---in more ways than one. He's not satisfied with just whacking it off and flexing--he puts his whole body into it.
In between Xavier's shows was a surprise appearance with the ever-popular Vin Marco, who co-founded Manifest Men and is now the site's still photographer. His shower show was marked by three "releases"--yes we kid you not. In the space of his show he climaxed three times. Pretty hot and it is very apparent he's been working out hard for his infrequent appearances. Officially he's scheduled to do a shoot for Men Magazine and we'll keep you posted on it and when it will see print.
Some interesting news also came out of these shows this weekend.
--This new technology introduced for the live shows will be used at Manifest Muscle, the cam site. This means bigger picture AND sound.
--Videographer Adam Killian is going to be doing another video and photoshoot for the company. His previous appearances at Manifest Men include two galleries, a co-video with Mitchell Rock, and a live show (also with MR). And, as we've mentioned many times before he was the screen partner for Zeb Atlas' first gay hardcore scene in Falcon's Best Men 2.
--Another muscle stud has been scheduled for an appearance here at Manifest Men and though we know WHO he is, we won't reveal the name until we get the word from the site--just in case it falls through. But we can tell you this, it's a big deal!
