The World Through My Eyes

The World Through My Eyes: A collection of essays, reflections and thoughts about men, sex, love, relationships, politics, friendships, nudism, current events, social concerns, humanitarian issues, religion and all those wonderful experiences that constitute life as seen and felt by me: a thirty-something Deaf Gay man of mixed racial heritage (half-black, half-white) living in the Virginia Beach area of the United States. A scrapbook of my life. I've been a confirmed Gay nudist for the past 20 years (since puberty). Sometimes, we just need to step back and chill and try not to be so serious and tense. Life is short, stand up and get into it! nekkidfurryboi@gmail.com.

Mixed Race Celebrity Mondays: Tyson Beckford


It's been awhile since I presented a Mixed Race celebrity on nekkidfurryboi. If you're like me, model Tyson Beckford, despite his 40+ years, is a rare find, anytime. He's eye-candy for any age and is this spring's featured mixed race specialty. In the picture above, some debate whether or not it's photo shopped. Regardless, there are enough actual photos of Mr. Beckford without his clothes to prove that he's no stranger to nudity.


Tyson Craig Beckford was born on December 19, 1970, in The Bronx, New York City. His father is Jamaican of African-Panamanian heritage and his mother is half Jamaican, half Chinese. He was raised in Rochester, New York state. He attended Pittsford Mendon High School and played on both the football and track teams. Tyson is the first cousin of Los Angeles Lakers' pro basketball forward, Ron Artest.

Tyson Beckford is 6' tall and measures 40'-30'-35". He has black hairs and brown eyes. His suit size is 44L and his shoe size is 12. Of course, we all know about a man and his feet!  

In 1992, Tyson Beckford was recruited to the hip-hop magazine, The Source, as a model. Talent scout Jeff Jones is credited with "discovering" him while he was auditioning in New York City. In 1993, he signed a contract with fashion designer Ralph Lauren as the front (lead) model for the company's Polo line of male sportswear. In 1995, he was named "Man of the Year" by the cable television music channel, VH1. That same year, he was named by People magazine as one of their "50 Most Beautiful People in the World." All throughout the 1990s, Tyson was internationally recognized as a supermodel and commanded top dollar salaries. He was widely regarded as "one of the beautiful people" and was often photographed with the rich and famous, further enhancing his career. 
He continues to be involved in modeling, though not always walking the runway. He has appeared as both a host and judge on several reality-style modeling shows on television. He also does music videos for top musicians and vocalists.
