THIS is a music video?

Music videos like this just don’t make it to air here in Australia and I dare say very few other places around the world. You have to hand it to the French. You want full frontal nudity? Violence? Vomiting? Sex scenes? Sure, we can do that!

The singer has a rocking body, is very good looking and isn’t shy. Ticks quite a few of the boxes I like in something to look at.

The night is young

We’ve all been there, a balmy hot night, we’ve had a few drinks, we are with people we know and trust and there is a pool handy. That’s the scenario captured by Greg Vaughan in this series “The Night Is Young” although rarely am I surrounded by such beautiful men and if I were I don’t know that I wouldn’t be horridly intimidated.

These photos look so good as do the models. Flicking through the pages of Greg’s blog it’s hard not to get a bit of a diabetic rush from all the eye candy. Don’t forget to click on the photos to see them bigger!

Untitled# by Ross Watson

Ross Watson has just released his new book “Untitled#” featuring work from the last 15 years of his career and an interview from former Australian High Court Judge Michael Kirby.

I discovered Ross’ work about the time I was starting to acknowledge my sexuality. His paintings are full of beautiful men and saturated in delicious colours and like a singer, an attachment was made that has continued. Now that I’ve met Ross and his partner a few times, it’s nice to find out that the man behind the artwork is a fantastic guy too.

There are a limited number of hand signed first-edition copies of “Untitled” to be bought, which you can do through Ross’ website.

One of the bravest people I know

Having recently interviewed a female to male transexual for this blog and chatting to a couple of other trans people briefly I’m still so in awe of people that have the strength to say publicly that they were born in the wrong body, even as an adult.

When a teenager, or even younger does it, I’m even more astounded and impressed. Oak Reed is one such teenager. Oak Reed has been open about being born a female but living as a male to his classmates and teachers for some time. The fact that Oak wasn’t bullied horrendously is incredible in itself. Even more inspiring and heart warming is the fact that Oak was then voted Homecoming King by those same classmates.

Sadly the school administrators have declared his votes invalid as he was enrolled as a female. He’d been allowed to wear a tuxedo when marching with the school band and wear the boys graduation gown, but somehow the Homecoming King title was different.

There is a facebook page started by his friends “Oak is Our King“. Feel free to join and show your support. Read the full article here.

Oh how times have changed

I stumbled across these photos today and even had they been crisp and in colour you could never doubt they were from a time many years ago. These days, even in a hot mining situation, if someone suggested working nude to keep cooler they would no doubt be sued for sexual harassment. If they weren’t the red tape and legal minefield that is occupational health and safety would never let anything like that happen.

Times have changed, and not always for the better.

Pigs, kicks, bruises and the show

After all the rehearsals, losing cast members, regaining other cast members and last minute tweaking of routines we finally had our Aerialize annual shows “When Pigs Fly” on the weekend. With four shows over the weekend there are bound to be highlights and some… lower lights.

For the two of us performing in the Advanced Silks class, we both had good shows on Friday night and Saturday night but Saturday and Sunday’s afternoon shows were a bit rough around the edges. The crowds probably might not have noticed a lot of difference but we could feel a big difference.

Over the course of the shows I was kicked in the balls by a girl I’d just lifted up to a trapeze (accidentally) the guy playing the pig got hit in the face by a prop pie coming down from the roof and a trapeze artist wore a fellow performer’s knee in the nose. There were no major injuries though and a lot of laughs and adrenaline to be enjoyed. It’s thoroughly exhausting but also very enjoyable!

Thong Day

In Australia, what you all call Flip Flops in other parts of the world, we call Thongs. October 1 is Thong Day. Thong Day is being held to raise money for all those kids and young adults with full time care needs have an alternative to aged care facilities. There are thousands of young adults and children living in aged care because it’s the only option to get the care they need.

The idea of Thong Day is to make a donation and wear your Thongs to work on that day. Shannon Boh, blogging superstar and sometime exhibitionist is taking the idea further. Shannon has registered on the Thong Day site and for every $100 he raises, he’s going to run a lap of Martin Place, a busy pedestrian street in the heart of Sydney’s CBD in his speedos. So far he’s already up to three laps. Let’s see how many laps we can make Shannon do. Click here to donate to Shannon’s efforts.

Luke Hass is asking for your advice

This is Oz is a website devoted to promoting equality and inclusiveness in Australia. Celebrities and ordinary people like you and me can submit photos of themselves with messages of support and equality.

American Porn star and all-round exhibitionist Luke Hass has seen the site and really wants to take part in it, but is asking for suggestions for his message. You can leave your suggestions on here in the comments or you can go to Luke’s blog and contact him there with your ideas!

Naked challenger

This is JC. He’s from New England and seems to be fond of hiking and exploring nude. So far these public nudity challenge entries have been more tame than in previous incarnations but they are cool shots just the same. Keep them coming in people.

It’s showtime

Last night was the dress rehearsal for our circus school annual shows and through timing etc the only full run through the two of us in our class routine had. It’s a bit rough around the edges but essentially we are pretty happy with it. Fingers crossed we’ll polish it up a bit tonight in the opening show.

It also sounds a bit rough. I don’t think my video camera is exactly high quality but you get a good idea.

Trouble auditions for Teamm8

Check out this hot new video from Teamm8. Those keen eyed and good memoried readers will recognise Ryan from the Surf Camp videos. He’s added to his tattoo collection and the sleeve is really hot, but forgive me if I come right out and say it that the “Trouble” tattoo across his back is just stupid.

Getting your junk out!

Well the first entries are in for the reincarnated public nudity challenge. Above we have Matthew of NYCdancer on a beach that isn’t a nude beach, on stage in a production of Naked Boys Singing and in a doorway of a hotel, flashing a Waffle House across the street.
Below we have Josh. Josh lost a bet about the movie Mrs Doubtfire and as a result had to walk the streets of San Fran. The middle shot is also Josh up at Twin Peaks lookout when a friend dared him to leave his clothes in the car and walk around the lookout.
Well done guys! Keep up the nude work.

Concerns from another perspective

A reader sent me an email about experiences he’d had with dating and relationships as an HIV negative man in a relationship with HIV+ men. It’s an interesting eye opener that negative guys probably don’t give thought to, the concerns of the poz guys about possibly infecting someone.

“I’ve twice become involved with Positive guys. I’ve sat and talked with the health care professionals about behavior and transmission and the sex has always been strictly safe and smart. I knew what I was getting involved in. The decision wasn’t simply about the riskĀ of transmission but had to do as well with the idea of being with someone for the long haul who’s health may disintegrate unpredictably or who may develop side effects from drugs that make them less physically appealing. The idea of going from lover / partner to care taker is frightening. Yes, I know that this is a possibility for all people as they get older.
The difficulty for me in these situations had more to do with the fearfulness of the men I was involved with. The first felt so guilt ridden about his status and the mistake he made that he would never speak about it and hid his medical matters from me. This made me feel very shut out and as though I couldn’t ever mention the situation or ask any questions. It was just too upsetting to him.
As well, I could never honestly express to him how heartbreaking the whole subject was to me. I have had soooooo many friends die over the years and it was something that I simply couldn’t talk about with him. For me it was a huge limitation to communication.
The second time I met someone who told me he was positive there was such a strong connection between us that it seemed inevitable that we would become involved. He was actually very disappointed to hear that I was negative (I know that sounds ghoulish, but I understand it) because he said that he knew he wanted to be with me from the moment we first spoke. He told me that he needed to give real thought to being with a Negative guy. There was such strong…magic (I know sounds corny but the best word to describe it really) between us that we felt very connected right away. And then, one day the communication got more strained and lessened until one night I was stood up for dinner and then unanswered phone calls and then no communication at all. I was incredulous and so hurt and angry. I assume that the idea of being with a Negative guy became overpowering to him and he wasn’t courageous enough to deal directly but it left me feeling very injured and scarred.
The point I’m making is that it may be more difficult for the Positive guy and may require more honesty and responsible behavior (and I don’t mean just sexually) to be in that position.
To all Positive guys, I know that guys may treat you like lepers and that’s shitty but Negative guys have feelings in the situation as well.”

Hot Playgirl guy

He’s got a killer body, beautiful cock, big balls, you know your mum would just find him adorable and he’s ever so slightly goofy looking but damn he’s just freaking sexy.

Greg McKeon is part of the Playgirl Campus Hunks issue and right now I’m wishing I was in his frat. Turns out Greg is a personal trainer, “The Bad Trainer” and grew up in Europe training as a gymnast which would explain the killer body! The really exciting news? I think he might actually be gay!

The photos above I found at a site called The Gay Stoner and Greg himself had actually commented on the coverage.
