I’ve been in two minds about posting this shot. A friend sent it to me yesterday and I was quite amazed. Prince William, future King of England was at a polo match recently and felt the call of nature. So he ducked behind a post to take a piss. Now as a man, I can understand that we all feel the need and the world is our toilet. We have that over women that without the need to sit down, we can pretty much go where we like. BUT, as the future head of the Monarchy of England and the Commonwealth, having grown up in the glare of paparazzi flash bulbs and seeing it kill your mother, surely you’d just assume that a camera would be watching EVERYTHING you do and go find a private toilet to use?

I admire him for obviously not caring but I’m actually suprised it wasn’t Harry. He seems to be the more fun of the two, but perhaps that comes from knowing you’ll probably never sit on the throne.

So, instead of posting the photo directly here on the front page, if you want to see Prince Willy’s willy, click here!

Hugh Jackman probably can’t get any hotter than he is right now. He’s just premiered the biggest Australian movie ever made to rave reviews and now he’s been voted the Sexiest Man Alive by people magazine in the U.S. By all reports he is an incredibly down to earth lovely guy, and hot as hell. I’ve seen him at my gym a couple of times in the past and a friend saw him working out at North Bondi Surf Club at 6am the morning after the world premiere of Australia. Now that takes some serious dedication.

It sure doesn’t hurt his appeal that he’s a dedicated family man who adores his wife and kids and is happy mixing it with us average people on Sydney’s beaches and not complaining about being harassed by the paparazzi. A girl in my office said she can see that he’s lovely and very hot but she just doesn’t really get the fuss, whereas I could die happy if I had a hubby like that. Imagine waking up on a lazy sunday morning to find that lying next to you… oh the bliss.

aussieBum were kind enough to let Andreas, the human package of aussieBum, answer a few simple questions for us. I kept them simple. Fingers crossed we’ll be able to do the same with some of their other models… I might ask to do Toby’s face to face, in my bathtub.

How does it feel to have an almost cult following amongst gay men who you’ve inspired to buy countless pairs of aussieBum?
I love the thought that I have inspired people . I think aussieBum has done an amazing job of constantly impressing with new innovations and great styles and I have been very fortunate in being able to be a part of the team.

Have you had people come up to you around town and in your Spin classes who know you because of your work with aussieBum?
I have had a couple of people ask me if I had done work for aussieBum. It feels great knowing that people remember and recognize the work you have put in. People both from Australia and overseas has commented on the campaigns that I have done. It makes me proud that I have been a part of something so unique as aussieBum.

We’ve seen you getting in and out of countless pairs of undies and swimmers, are you a boxers or briefs boy, a bathers or boardies guy?
One of the things I like with aussieBum is the variety. There is so many colors, styles and materials. I like to dress for my mood. In general I prefer a hipster in a soft material, Flaunt is still a favorite and for something more fun, there is the new GLO. If I go to the beach for pleasure I wear board shorts but swimmers if I know I am going to swim. So much choice and aussieBum offers it all!

Is that all over tan from makeup, solarium or natural sunshine?
I try to avoid solariums as much as possible. I have spray tans done if I think I need a bit more color. Nothing beats the Australian summer for that all over healthy brown glow. You know what they say – slip. Slop, slap! Bring it on!

I’ve just walked in from my first public paid aerials gig. I had to take half a day off work to go to the technical rehearsal and then sit around for hours for the actual performance, both of which were later than planned, but that’s to be expected at these kind of functions.

The rehearsal was a bit of a disaster. One trick requires us to separate the two strands of fabric which I couldn’t separate at the time. The silks are new and sometimes they are even more easily tangled. So I had to skip a trick and just catch up at the next one. Thankfully the actual performance went off pretty smoothly.

We finished the routine with some spinning. That means we both had one hand in a hand loop and end up letting go of the actual silks and someone down the bottom spins the silks around and around. I didn’t quite do what I should have right at the end and my hand loop ended up tightly wound around the silks and I was almost stuck up there.

The funniest part of the show was our outfits. It was a corporate gig for a product launch. The product packaging is lime green and black, so we were in flourescent LIME GREEN Unitards. Look at the pictures above and picture those ensembles in lime green. Not cool in the slightest.

The more I think about it and discuss it with my friends, it looks less and less likely that I’ll be hitting Burning Man 2009. I swear that one day I’ll be getting there and enjoying it. I’ve heard that there is something called ConFest here in Australia but quite some way from Sydney that could be a similar vibe but much much smaller.

If there are guys like these guys wandering around sharing the bohemian vibe, then it can’t be a bad place at all! Most of these photos are from Patrick Roddie. Nice work mate!

Every now and then I come home to a package sitting waiting for me. Tonight was one of those nights. A reader of this blog had very very generously bought me a copy of Francois Rousseau’s book “Amor Causa” which is quite a striking, yet unusual book.

It’s a photography book that is full of religious themed photography shot around Rio. Not being a religious person, I don’t know all the references but the photos are so beautiful with Francois’ stunning lighting and gorgeous compositions.

Thank you very much to the reader that bought me the book, and all the other readers that have generously opened up their wallets for me!

It’s the end of a very long and both frustrating and enjoyable day. I barely slept last night going over and over in my head, the routine that I’m performing with another girl on Thursday night at a corporate function. Add to that, the fact that during a drop trick I feel like I’ve torn something in my calf.

We were really busy today at work with a major client preparing for their conference which starts tomorrow. One of my work colleagues tends to conveniently find reasons that he can’t stay back and help the rest of us out when we have too much to do.

I’ve just got home from my silks class and a final run through thursday’s routine. I hope to get a video of the performance which of course will be put up here if I can get a hold of it.

I thought the photo above might add a nice finishing touch to the day. God knows it put a smile on my face.

It seems the last 24 hours has been full of little lessons for life for me. These aren’t life lessons that make people like Anthony Robbins rich and they aren’t featured anywhere in “The Secret” so I’m putting them out there for you all to take note.

When accepting an invitation to a lunch and a few drinks, make sure not to race your host to empty the glass he’s constantly trying to refill for you. It’s a race you will never win without catastrophic results.

When Mr L suggests a skinnydip, he just wants to see everyone’s doodles. Sure, he went swimming too, but he didn’t take his undies off. That’s called cheating.

The shortest distance between two points is not covered when Ivan has been filling your glass and you walk home. I’ll consider it my cardio for the week. I covered quite a bit of extra mileage.

Monday morning is not a great time to be hung over at work. It makes the start to the week very bumpy.

Counselling sessions aren’t nearly as effective when the therapist looks at you and says “we’ll just make it half an hour today” although that does clear up extra time to get the caffeine levels back up.

Don’t tricks that make you dizzy are ok, unless you are hung over and 7 metres off the ground, then they feel more than just a bit overly ambitious.

Here endeth my lessons for the day. I’m off to bed.

Not content with being in our underwear drawers and holding our boys in place, Aussiebum are launching a campaign on our eyes as well. A brand spanking new DVD is in production RIGHT NOW featuring a whole bunch of their behind the scenes segments, hot photoshoots and a bunch of hot hot boys not wearing much, if anything at all.

The DVD, as far as I know won’t be for sale, but will be distributed in a way yet to be confirmed. What I can tell you is that I’ve been lucky enough to see a preview copy. It’s about now that I should mention “The Vault”. Tucked away after “Play”, “Scene Selection” and “Image Gallery” is a hidden cave of treasures. There is a special password that you have to enter to see the delights inside and it’s not Abracadabra and nor am I allowed to share it with you. If I did, I think Sean would condemn me to a life of bad underwear from generic brand suppliers. Oh I just got a little sick at the thought. Once you get inside the Vault, I can attest it’s worth getting that finger ready for frame by frame viewing. Just a tip for new players.

Samesame is about to launch an online reality show.

Surf Camp will be rolling out over Summer on Same Same with a new episode every few weeks.

The premise is simple: we follow 5 gay boys as they learn to surf for the very first time.

But the outcome of the show is in your hands. After viewing each 5-minute episode of Surf Camp, you’re invited to come back to Same Same and vote for your favourite boy. At the end of Summer, we’ll be left with the ultimate Surf Camper. It’s hosted by the very sexy Shane Jenek and features some definite hotties.

Model Jams Ellis has just released his brand spanking new calendar, and no that doesn’t mean he’s into spanking. James has one of those bodies that makes me feel guilty about the dinner I had last night… but he’s also one of those really hot boys that looks like they were raised in cornfields and sunshine.

You can find James on Myspace or on his own website here.

It’s been 13 days since I last shaved my top lip. It’s all in the name of charity so if you want to help support groups working to fight men’s health issues, click here!
What do we think of the progress?

The folks over at Aussiebum have just released this new video with a new model. He’s looking pretty delicious to me!

This term at aerials class we are working towards a group performance at the annual show in a month’s time. There are a couple of people hell bent on their own glory. One of them is a 14 year old boy who is full of boundless energy and totally fearless, so I’m willing to let him go.

The other however is a royal pain in the arse. The rest of the class doesn’t like her one little bit. She’s always off doing her own thing and then when she can’t get it, she interupts the teacher explaining things to us to get help. We are doing a routine based around a rivalry between old school circus carnies versus the cirque du soleil style of performance and she’s off posing like some gansta rapper.

In related news, I may have a paid gig at a corporate function next week, I’m just waiting on confirmation, which should come tomorrow.

It’s intriguing to people watch at the best of times, but on a nude beach it’s even more interesting. People say that all class distinction disappears when everyone is naked and to an extent that’s true, but you start to notice all sorts of other things, like pubic grooming habits, tan lines etc.

One thing that I find interesting is when you see guys who lie on the beach naked but put their swimming costume on to go into the water. I can slightly understand the guys that do it the other way around, they might like tan lines, but why deny yourself the pleasure of swimming naked? To feel the water caress your entire body. It’s one of life’s simplest but most irresistable pleasures.
