Norman got skritched. 🐻😋✨

Andy @andyberserker.bsky.social is the sweetest guy, and I love him. So I’ve decided he should probably adopt me. Here’s what I figure: since he’s such a nice guy he would be a good dad to me, then (ideally) I would be a good boy. Then, I’d always get everything on my Christmas list! 🎅🏻❤️🎁

I love Rob.

Norman and I went to the Georgia Renaissance Festival today. Things got real interesting. 🔮

Norman. I took these shots on an eight-megapixel Sony F-828 and I used to begrudge its purple fringing. But the purple fringing on him reminds me of Olivia Newton-John’s purple halo in “Xanadu”. Fitting. Without Norman, RMRL would never have happened. He preceded Phill. That guy matters to me.

Hello. I’m John Orbit. I love “Enjoy the Silence”. I have never enjoyed the silence. I am enjoying the silence. ☺️

“What if I can work as myself this time?“

OMG this is Norman‘s terrible response to my prior video about him thinking that somehow he’s a better daddy than I am. He is not. Better luck next time, Norman!

It’s RMRL After Dark: in tonight‘s episode, John rants about his friend Norman having the gall to think that he’s a better daddy than John is just because he’s completely covered in body hair and has a giant dick

I thought this handsome guy named Will should be photographed. So, I did that. 😋📸🔥

It's true! open.substack.com/pub/realmenr...

No rules. Just right! 🤠🤷🏻‍♂️😋

Phill! 😍 I love this man so much. Did I ever mention that? ❤️

Nato!! ❤️

RMRL is not a competition. But IML (International Mr. Leather) is! And René @buckharder.bsky.social just WON for 2025, and I'm SO happy for him! Congratulations, René!!! 🏆❤️👍🏻

I think I’ve got an acting gig! And that’s what I’m talking about in this video, and I’m hardly even touching upon my physical transformation into Patrick Stewart. 😎⭐️✨

To-do: 1. Buy tea. 2. Vacuum. 3. Start a cult.

And now for something completely different.

I photographed Jason @butchbeardo.bsky.social, and it was super fun. He kinda reminds me of that handsome actor Clark Gregg. And I realized that the reason I don't have any tattoos is because he has taken them all. But I don't begrudge him for it because I got to photograph him getting a tattoo! 🥵🔥✨

This!

Hello. I’m John Orbit. I am the most recent reincarnation of Oscar Wilde. Oscar loved a challenge. “This fetus will grow up around a lot of leaded gas fumes.“

The photographic evidence is clear: this did happen! And I am grateful.

Hello. I’m John Orbit. I wrote the book on daddy issues. I mean, I haven’t actually done that, But I sure should.

I’m turning into Patrick Stewart.

Hello. I’m John Orbit. I love Harrison Ford more than Calista Flockhart. A lot more. But I love Harrison Ford more than Calista Flockhart does. Also.

Oh Michael was such a beautiful guy! I miss him. ❤️

It was pretty sad saying goodbye to my old truck. But I t was pretty joyful saying hello to my new car. I’ve named him Chauncey. ❤️

I think Substack may the proper venue for my word salads. Feel free to follow me there, and you can even donate if you believe in what I'm doing. And you should! ;) substack.com/@realmenreal...

Music is our aeroplane! ✈️🐻😜

It’s hard not to circle back to Phill, since he changed my life forever. RMRL probably wouldn’t have existed without him. He remains a beautiful mystery to me. ❤️

Okay so this video of me talking about stuff is sort of a one minute redo of a three minute video over on that other platform and I’m super annoyed that Bluesky Social only allows one minute but here’s my video. 😜🤷🏻‍♂️

Spicy, delicious Dustin! 🍆🔥🥵

Matthew and I have been friends for so many years. Man. Where did the time go?

Hello, and happy Friday! 😊👋🏻❤️

If Earth runs out of men or I fully lose my mind, you’ll find me photographing my TV and the men I see on it. Today’s offering? Nick Offerman on “Margot’s Got Money Troubles” it has conflict but, unlike “Euphoria“ (that last episode was the my last) I don’t think it’s written by a serial killer. 🐻😊🔥

RMRL won’t unfold in a straight line. Like a movie that jumps through time, I’ll be releasing new work alongside older archive sets — past & present, all in conversation with each other. Some moments are recent, others have been waiting years to emerge. It’s not a timeline. It’s a living archive.

Camping with Papabear Scott is always so much fun! (He thinks it may be time to go again soon...) 🌞🐻✨

Boatin Rob @boatinrob.bsky.social @realmenreallife.bsky.social

Camping with Phill was fun! 🥵🔥😍

Sometimes I think people have sex because that’s the only way they might get a hug.

I work so hard. Won’t you have some compassion for me?! Today was shoot #3 with Brett. 🐻🔥💦
