Hi there everybody!

My name is Phil Dooley, but thanks to my mutation, everyone just calls me 'Fido' now. Yup, the mutagen storm hit nine years ago, and I was out walking my dog when that strange green rain started coming down. Now I look like this! I know, I know, it's the same story most of us who were transformed that day share. If it hadn't been for the heroic actions of the Ninja Turtles back then, there's no telling how bad the storm would have gotten, and how many more lives would have been transformed! Sorry. I'm not here to remind you all of the chaos of that tumultuous time. Instead, let's talk about the present.

Our political climate is still not very friendly towards mutantkind, and being gay and a mutant, yeesh! Recently I was at a club with some friends when some drunk humans got up in our faces calling us 'ugly' and worse. Feeling unattractive is something we all have to deal with sometimes, but it dawned on me that night that maybe someone just needed to capture the sexy, appealing side of us mutant guys to prove how desirable we really are!

As you may have guessed, I'm a photographer, and pretty good at it too! So I decided I was going to start a little project. Professionally, I snap pics of whatever is going to put food in my bowl for the month, but what really excites me is taking pictures of the nude male form. I have a big tendency towards daddy-aged guys too. That's when I started talking with my friends about getting in touch with mutant men, willing to bare all in photo shoots to let everyone know just how hunky we can be! I call this series 'the Masculine Mutant Man' and am happy to report we're off to a great start!

The number of men who have been contacting me after hearing about the project has been overwhelming! I wish it was more than just me and my camera, all these guys deserve to be included! What's most surprising though is that a lot of these guys are pretty famous in our circles, or used to be. We all remember meeting the Ninja Turtles' adoptive father Splinter on social media when they went public years ago, but I bet you didn't know that handsome rat likes to show off for the camera? Everyone knows Rocksteady, the burly rhino from that viral video years ago, but did you know he used to work as hired muscle for the now-defunct Foot Clan?? I know, it's crazy! (He also has some, um, sizable assets he wants to share!)

Anyway, these are just two of the masculine mutant men I've gotten on my list to photograph, and I can't wait! I'll unveil our first model later tonight and tell you a bit about him. What I will say is he really 'dug' posing for me! So until later, be proud of yourself, mutant, human or whoever, and look forward to seeing and getting to know these men!
