TO OUR DEAR FRIENDS AND BELOVED TURKIES IN JAPAN

. Continued from yesterday…A short excerpt from the Exclusive copyrighted BLISS MALE MAG interview by Sean Dibble…   BLISS: As you move into the next phase of your career, what do you want fans to take with them in the final days of Turkxxxonline?   TURK MASON: Me, I want them to take me with them haha! I really do hope they continue to follow me in my future endeavors.   B: So now you are moving forward as Frank and launching a new site, w ww.NakkidYouth.com   . What can viewers expect from the new site and how will it differ from the old one?   TM: Well, for starters it will NOT be an adult entertainment site. The site is focused on the rest of my careers. You can expect a blog from myself and Andy, you can expect to view my modeling portfolio (some of which will require a password due to nudity – but free nonetheless), you can expect to be updated on my Esthetic services and my bartending. All and all it is all things Frank. It is not meant to hide that Turk existed, in fact it will embrace that character, but it is intended to be more of the REAL me.   B: In comparing the two, is there a major difference between the Turk character and Frank Fanucchi?   TM: Most definitely. Turk is a creation of my alterego, an ego that until I was about 17 I wasn’t aware existed. Frank is much less attention grabbing and much more grounded. The real difference is that Frank is real, Turk was simply a creation made by Frank to hide behind, and now Frank is done hiding.   B: Mark Grantham did a beautiful book on you titled FRANK. ( http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/246149 ) I plan on purchasing it soon. I’ll have to send it in a CASE so you can autograph it for me. Are those images closer to what we can expect from you in the future?   TM: You can expect a variety of images, many that you have seen and many that you have not. I don’t plan to stop pushing the limits, in fact I intend to see just how far I can go.   B: With this new phase about to begin, would you say you are at your happiest point on a personal level?   TM: As close as it gets.

HEARTS AND MATTER

BLISS MALE MAG, HOT OFF THE PRESSES ISSUE #13…. Edited exerpt from introduction to an Interview with Turk done this week: The Importance of Being Frank   BLISS was created solely as a labor of love with the purpose of getting to know more about many of the photographers whom I had long standing admiration for. These were the artists that fueled my own dreams of honing my craft and improving with the hopes that my own work would eventually gain some semblance of recognition within the community of male image admirers. It was during the conceptual phase that I realized that my inspiration extended also to the models and that many of them had yet to be seen on a broader scale. I felt that if others could view these images it would not only increase visibility but also the same sense of wonder and appreciation that I get when I view their photographs. I started with a wish list of who I wanted to feature and what each of these artists and models represented in my eyes. I was enamored with model J. Phoenix and believed that he had just the right balance of classic beauty mixed with a modern twist, along with a raw sensuality that would interest potential viewers. He became the first cover model and interview. When I was gathering images to accompany his feature, I was instantly taken with a duo image that he did with another model – Turk Mason. There was something familiar about him but I was unable to place where I had seen his face before.   Some quick research revealed that Turk Mason the model was also Turk Mason/Turk Melrose the porn star. There was no question that I wanted to feature him, but his superstar status left me in doubt about how agreeable he would be regarding an interview in a little known blogazine… In a moment of nerve, I contacted Turk and told him that I wanted to do a feature on him, but my original concept had evolved into doing a full issue devoted solely to three facets of his life. It was the longest interview I have done to date and covered the man, the model and the porn star. I have been fortunate in that every person who has been profiled was extremely gracious, but Turk still manages to come out as being the most involved and generous. He is highly intelligent, detail oriented and professional. He took the time out of his very busy schedule to work with me, including the editing process, to produce what marked the turning point for BLISS. Turk’s issue was posted in November of 2009 and it instantly garnered recognition for the magazine. The number of visits to the BLISS site for his post was 5 times higher than the entire prior month’s total. And the readers kept coming. It is now almost 2 years later and his feature remains in the top 3 of all time views, and was number 1 this past month. That is called staying power… Since it was the character of Turk and the words of Frank that pushed BLISS to a higher level, I thought it only fitting to revisit Frank and talk about this new chapter in his life. Once again, I got in touch with him to pitch my idea, and once again he replied with the same grace and humility as he did the first time I asked to profile him. There is no doubt that his multitude of fans will greatly miss Turk, but I have no doubt that they will embrace Frank with the same outpouring of love and support. Here’s to you, Frank. (Thanks to Sean Dibble for the kind words and support )   For the FULL INTERVIEW please go to … http://blissmalemag.blogspot.com …and please bookmark BLISS and visit there often. It’s a class act of good people.
