Colby Melvin’s new porn star boyfriend* appears to be rubbing off on him in the best way possible.
The former twinky bar star appears in a new interview video for CheapUndies this month, showing off a beautiful new full figured beard, a slightly beefier frame and more confidence than ever.
At the ripe young age of 26, he’s managed to become a celebrated model, an activist, a budding fashion designer and a resident of WeHo’s most dangerous building — but how did he get there?
Colby tells CheapUndies how he was initially discovered:
I was in Houston, TX and I just happened to be at a pool party. Two underwear designers from a brand out of Houston, TX called Bayou Beau.. they saw me and they were like ‘Hey, we really like your look, would you be interested in modeling for us?’ So I said ‘Yea, sure, why not?’ I’m not the tallest of guys so I really never gave much thought to modeling. So, I did. It went really well.
Check out some behind-the-scenes footage of Colby at his CheapUndies shoot below, and below that, a video of Colby dancing with a semi-boner while covered in glitter, because of course.
Check out more exclusive photos from the CheapUndies campaign over at the CheapUndies blog.
*Update: Colby Melvin is apparently now dating model Jon Varak, the man he’s got his arm around in our lead photo, as confirmed by a post on his Facebook page. But that was five days ago, so we can’t be sure if they’re still together…

Short guys make great underwear models. Small hips and such. Modeling for regular street clothes not so much.

Colby Melvin is dating model Jon Varak. Both models posted this on their Instagram accounts and Colby’s Facebook on July 20: http://on.fb.me/1unkuVd
Not sure when his relationship with Landon Conrad though.

@tippy1408: Not sure when his relationship with Landon Conrad *ended* though.

He is short. He is not ugly but does not attract me very much.

I prefer tall, lean guys. The swimmer’s build in a tall guy is my ideal. Aged 25-45.

@Billy Budd: However will he live with himself without your approval?
DickieJohnson
@Xzamilio: Touché. LMAO. Colby is really cute, whatever his height!

@tippy1408: *blink* Wasn’t he *engaged* to model Brandon Brown?? What happened with that!?!?!? He has had TWO boyfriends since then?
“But that was five days ago, so we can’t be sure if they’re still together…”
Queerty, here your snark is well and amusingly placed because this guy seems to get around and in a very short period of time!

A bar star? Oh… a bar star! What bars and where? Let’s not denigrate the term “star” down to the kids who prance around on their step-father’s makeshift bar out in the garage.
He’s a cute young fella who’ll soon be delegated to the back of the pack and eventually quits his parading around in underwear because of shame and self-loathing.
An activist? Yes we all activists who hoot and hollar “You go girl” for the trans contingent in the pride parade.
Fashion Designer? Dear lord… I accidentally wore my Joe Boxers inside out and created a fashion Designer moment myself when the tongue appeared to be licking my bumhole.
Let’s agree to call these kiddos what they are… cute and young and desirable. We don’t need to fake-up a history to make them more cute, young or desirable.
Now I’m off to engineer a perfect cup of coffee and count my monies (Queerty might call me an industrialist).

Man, I can’t wait til this whole beard fad is over. But at least it’s better than tattoos.
Billy Budd
@Alton: I don’t like tattoos very much either. In my opinion, a very fit and handsome guy looks nice with one thin tribal tattoo around the upper arm, but more than this can be excessive and ugly. Some guys look nice with a tiny earring, especially a diamond earring in one ear. I don’t like piercings.
I guess I am very conservative.
Billy Budd
P.S. I do like beards. I don’t mind that beards are in fashion.

I actually went to check this little PR hounds “activist” work ie Full Frontal Freedom. Ha. For a second I thought it was real activism like protesting or boycotting stuff. It should be renamed to “models looking cute promoting themselves.”
