I have never really been one for New Year’s resolutions – partly because of their transient nature and are so easily broken; yet we have all been guilty of making them.
Personally I use the time to reflect on the last 12 months, look at what I have learnt and experienced and figure out what changes and improvements I want to make for the year ahead. I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as a mistake, nor should you regret any decisions you make in life. As long as you have goals and are doing the best you possibly can to achieve them, it doesn’t matter how bumpy the journey is.
2011 was certainly one of my most manic of years. I was a little over-ambitious to think that I would settle into London life instantly – It in fact took 6 months just for my feet to hit the ground and become accustom to the change of pace, the cultural dynamics (Yes, Londoners certainly have a way about them) and ultimately trying something new. My career (outside of my modelling) and my big relocation admittedly had the spotlight for most of the year but now I have firmly ticked those boxes, it’s time to start getting my kit off again *grins*
I am going to try and get much more involved with modelling opportunities this year all whilst continuing to hit the gym with my PT (He needs a f#@king medal hahaha) and become the little muscle midget I envision ;)

It’s about time I made an appearance! Its been a crazy few months with my relocation to the bright lights of London, my new career, making new friends and finding a new home but FINALLY the dust has settled 
Now there is nothing else to distract me, I have decided to step up my game and start focusing on my modelling again
I have made the decision that I am going to start hitting the gym on a regular basis as I want to get BIGGER – Watch this space! This is going to be a tough one as it’s going to involve allot of discipline and changing my diet completely since I eat like a child *goes red*. I have also decided that I need a Personal trainer to give me that initial kick up the backside so that I develop a routine that will fit into my OCD-like nature.
I have no shame in admitting that one of the big reasons I have never taken to the gym to date is that I don’t enjoy going on my own which I have always used as my excuse not to attend – A complex I know I need to get out of as I should be doing it for me without feeling like i need someone to hold my hand. There is a Soho Gym literally next to my house so I’m going to sign up this weekend – Wish me luck!

Seeing as it’s London Fetish Week, I couldn’t miss an opportunity to head over to RoB London and join the shoot that was taking place downstairs. Admittedly, I’m pretty ‘vanilla’ when it comes to the fetish side of things so leather is pretty much my limit – This however didn’t stop the boys from RoB dressing me up like their little pet *goes red*
Rubber, Neoprene, Leather, Jocks, Braces and finally a pair of ‘acquired’ escorts boots that strangely fitted me perfectly. I’m really not used to a shop full of onlookers stood behind the photographer whilst photos are taken but you have to work with the situation, haha. An unusual afternoon to say the least but incredibly good fun and the lovely Chris Jepson is always a pleasure to work with
A big thanks to all the boys @ RoB London (thanks for the jocks and braces too!)

What a crazy 6 weeks! Today I am celebrating that I’m 23 years young and taking some time to reflect on numerous changes that I have made recently. I loved Brighton and my ‘normal’ occupation dearly but I decided that I wanted to shake everything up so I accepted an incredibly exciting position at a PR agency in Soho, London *smirks* This involved commuting for a short time between Brighton & London and moving house all whilst going to Gran Canaria and Madrid in between!
Fingers crossed that dust will start to settle now so that I can focus on what I love doing – taking my clothes off, hahaha. Modelling will have more focus going forward and gym membership is on the cards too so hopefully we will start to see a BIGGER Stu-Cub
Birthday celebrations await!

The Gay Photographers Network (GPN) spent months planning and organising an exhibition to showcase some of their fantastic work. I have been heading along to their monthly meetings as their token model/pet as I felt it was important that I interact with more photographers and get a better understanding of what its like ‘behind the lens’. These guys put so much energy and passion into their work which is really nice to see.
‘THE’ Leigh Carter submitted a number of images, two of which were from shoots we did which I was really pleased with! One was from our first ever shoot – the trademark ‘biting lip’ black and which image was used which is still a favourite of both of ours. The other image used was a shot taken in a padded cell in an abandoned mental institute – Probably my most fun shoot to date. This was also used in some of the promotional work for the exhibition.
I’m incredibly proud of all of the guys who pulled it off and they raised some fantastic money for charity!

For the those of you who hadn’t already noticed, for the last few months I have practically lived at ‘The Edge’ which is a fantastic bar in Soho Square in London. A very good friend of mine Benn Lloyd-Tranny Roberts has been managing the venue since August last year so I have somehow found myself occasionally gogo dancing (well…attempting to), door hosting in speedos, giving out ’skittles shots’ and even decorating!
It’s been great fun and a few weeks ago we had a promotional shoot for a number of very exciting events coming up. The lovely Chris Jepson was the photographer - It was great fun to take part in and very lovely of them to invite me along. Watch this space for a few more posters, as soon as they have been released

With the forecast of the first ’summer-like’ weather of the year in mind, Leigh and I decided to take a random road trip to The New Forest and do some testing shots to get into the swing of things for the year ahead -> We have had GREAT fun with some outdoor shoots in the past!
I bravely removed my cub-like fur that I have been accustom to in recent months (its important to keep warm in the winter!) and brought along a few pairs of Emporio Armani brief underwear, ES swimwear and some board shorts. We ended up trespassing on a country estate and running around the edge of a lake like naughty school boys, making sure we didn’t get caught.
I’m trying to work on my chest and arms a little @ the gym recently so hopefully there’s some signs of improvement. Watch this space!

I had a very fun shoot earlier this week with the lovely Pics By Gaz. It was organised very last minute and apart from my 2.5 hour train journey to get there which should normally take 40 minutes, we had a incredibly fun day. I was sporting my designer fur (it keeps me warm in the winter), went for a miliary-style cut from the lovely Claudia who has recently jumped into Jordi’s shoes to carry on with my hispanic styling and i also felt surprisingly in shape considering the amount i had been eating over the Christmas period!
I brought my usual shoot bag with some new bits that i had purchased in Barcelona and New York – Really loving my ES Underwear/Swimwear and A&F Jeans at the moment. I also tried out some Timoteo samples that Gaz had been sent which fitted really well and looked great. Timoteo is a contemporary US male apparel brand which is starting to become more popular over here recently. We worked with two different backdrops and focused primarily on body shapes which highlighted abdominal definition. A BIG thank you to Pics By Gaz for his time and effort – A complete pleasure to work with.
