What happens when you're an occupational therapist at PS 99 in Kew Gardens AND a Playgirl centerfold? Your story is told in the Daily News.
Julian Fantechi, who has been on the cover of the magazine and teaches special needs students, tells the News, "I can have this career, and I can also have a heart and work with children." And not only does he have a masters from NYU., he has a crazy six-pack, too.
Fantechi's non-Department of Education-gig is within guidelines - he even asked his union to make sure he wouldn't violate any rules. The News reports, "He was given the go-ahead as long as he didn't advertise that he worked as a city educator." The News also made sure to ask parents, who probably knew nothing about it, what they thought, and naturally, they say things like "That's definitely not good." And we find it hilarious that a grandmother said she would discuss it with her granddaughter. How much do you want to bet that it takes 2 weeks for a PS 99 student to order a Fantechi-issue of Playgirl? And according to Julian's own website, he's been in Playgirl four times in fourteen months! You go, guy! (FYI, he's also in Flesh4Men.)
While Fantechi is certainly hot, he's no Matthew Kaye. Kaye is the teacher who took sick days when he was on the professional wrestling circuit as "The Striker." Kaye was eventually fired, but got to parlay his education background with "Matt Striker's Classroom" in the WWE. Other weird incidents: Conducting when one should have been teaching and the teacher who asked for time off in order to serve a jail sentence.

Why do I suspect that a lot of the students' mothers are going to be requesting parent-teacher meetings?
Mothers? PALEASE, you mean the gay male fathers will be all over him. Everyone and their mothers know that playgirl is bought by gay men.
Hey, all the more reason for moms to want to have meetings: He's nice to look at yet unattainable!
Given that hunky male "fitness" models are a dime a dozen, this guy appears to be astonishingly successful. I say more power to him.

Maybe most male fitness models just don't "measure up" :)
He's astonishingly successful because half the places he's posed are gay porn. Mandate? Not exactly subtle.
Damn! I'm not normally into the Playgirl-gay-hairless-muscle thing, but even I did a double take when this appeared on NY1 this morning.
Okay, I have to say it:
Why are females suspended or fired for showing some skin while guys get pretty favorable articles written about them?
To go beyond anecdotal memories...

Let's hope that NY DOE treats genders equally when it comes to this stuff. If people can do their job and separate it (aka not take their skinmags to work & show it off to underage kids), then so be it. Sounds like this guy's pretty good at keeping his head in the game when he's working in school.
Go NY DOE! Way to not overreact!
Eh... he's not that great. I mean, he obviously works hard at keeping in shape, and all, but like someone else said, guys like him are a dime a dozen these days. And... the only thing worth looking at in the nude pictures he has on his website is the expression of utter disconfort he has on his face as he holds a half-naked woman in his arms... It's funny.
The guy kinda looks like Nick Lachey - same nose.
Dang on went on his website! Very nice!
We may be mistaken in assuming that Julian is gay. It is not unheard-of for straight men to do nude modelling for gay men and gay publications. Not to name names or anything, but it is no secret that a famous European-born actor who now serves as governor of a large West Coast state often posed nude for gay men back when he was a struggling young bodybuilder.
"Why are females suspended or fired for showing some skin while guys get pretty favorable articles written about them?"
Because it's predominantly the men in our society calling all the shots?
Dunno.
