Esculpta does Vizeau

Esculpta men’s jewellery has teamed up with Vizeau, the makers of intriguing and very specialised men’s swimwear and underwear and while there isn’t any underwear in this shot, this image has come from the collaboration. I’m posting it because I like Esculpta jewellery, the guy is hot and well… that’s it.

Nikias from Esculpta was kind enough to make me a custom made, one off necklace from a sketch I sent him. He asked me a few simple questions about what I was after, told me a few things about why it would and/or wouldn’t work… It gets comments every single time I wear it.

DNA 106 is smouldering

Aussie Rugby League player is smoking up the cover of the new DNA magazine. Nick is going to be in the charity calendar Gods of Football for the third year in a row and if the shoot in DNA is anything to go by he’s gonna look just fine. Nick caused a bit of a stir among the powers that be in the 2006 calendar because you could see a tiny bit of his cock… quite frankly I was upset too, surely there was lots more to be seen that was covered up! The Outrage!! The shots in DNA are by Pedro Virgil. The two guys on the right are also featured in the pages of this issue, along with a whole bunch of other great stuff. Delicious.

Update: for those of you wanting to see the photo that cause the drama, click here.

Pros and Cons

I’m getting increasingly frustrated with myself and my lack of motivation at the gym. Granted I had a very restless sleep last night but I really should have gone to the gym this morning yet, once more, I didn’t. Having said that, if silks class was every day, I’d be there religiously. It might be the motivation of knowing that I’m capable of performing or just that it’s a great challenge, but I’m loving class this term. I’ve always really enjoyed it but both classes this term have been great fun. My teacher told me last week that I’m nearly ready to go up to the advanced class and then this week she said she’d finally watched the video of my performance and she was proud of me. Yay!

Samesame profiles Sean Ashby

Kylie’s new Calendar for 2009

It seems that Kylie just can’t be slowed down since her cancer diagnosis of 2005. She’s still touring her X tour, adding a third show in Sydney to go on sale on monday, she’s got lingerie lines, bedding range, a couple of perfumes and her annual calendar. Kylie is one of the stars that has huge success with her calendar every year shooting images specifically for the calendar instead of pulling images from other sources and projects.

I can’t wait to see the show in 7 weeks or so… the last show I saw of Kylie’s was fantastic but mixed emotions as Mike was there, and things were falling apart at the time. This time, it’s just me and friends. Whoo hoo!

Burning one wheel at a time

I got these photos in my email yesterday and thought they were really cool. They did nothing to dampen my enthusiasm to get to Burning Man next year although it does look like the seat is doing unkind things to his bits which looks uncomfortable, but how cool does he look cruising around on one wheel? Love it.

A glorious nude sunday

Three hours in the blazing sunshine with my clothes off lapping up the vitamin D yesterday saw me very very relaxed for the afternoon. I had some lovely company but had to leave around 1.30 as I hadn’t eaten much at all and needed to eat something. It looks like the working week is going to be rainy and wet here in Sydney which makes it easier to sit in the office.

Say No to Prop 8

I may not be able to vote in the U.S. Presidential election but I am urging everyone in the state of California to vote no on Proposition 8. I don’t understand how people can think it’s ok to take away human rights.

Aussiebumalicious Tim Robards

Tim Robards was probably about the first conscious ping on my radar of Aussiebum. Tim was one of the early stars of their advertising. I say that like it was a million years ago but they’ve only been around since around 2000/2001. From memory I think I’ve also heard that Tim is a Wollongong boy like me. If I’d run into boys like this around “The Gong” more often, rather than the neanderthal thugs that went to my school, I would have realised my sexuality a bit earlier. Instead I waited til I was safely nestled in the bosom of homo-friendly Sydney.

Thanks to my friend J

Yesterday afternoon I came home to a huge package sitting on my kitchen bench. No it wasn’t Pavel Novotny, although I certainly wouldn’t have been complaining. It was however kinda related. It was a book from Amazon from my friend J in Canada. Around the Globe by Benno Thoma is full of beautiful photos of the boys from Bel Ami, not surprisingly, taken all around the world. I particularly like the shots of Brandon Manilow and Tommy on the cover. Some of these boys are just life support systems for penises I’m sure. Damn tasty.
Thanks J! It was a beautiful but overly generous birthday present! B x

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!! I hope you have a great night in London at Sugababes! MWAH!

More bad gay cinema

I’ve just finished watching more bad gay cinema… Seriously, how do these movies get funding? The overall plot and concept of “Defying Gravity” were good but the lead actor was so wooden it’s crazy.

So, it brings me to my next point, a reminder that you have 14 days to get your entries in for the Aussielicious Film Festival. So far we’ve only had one entry and I’m seriously hoping there are more in production. They don’t have to involve nudity, even though that would be a suitable interpretation of Aussielicious. The movie below made me chuckle, and it’s kinda sexy. It’s not Aussie but it’s sexy and fun.

Inspiration… again

I still haven’t been very good lately with going to the gym. We’ve been really busy at work and with a lot of stuff going on I’ve been having trouble switching off at night when I go to bed, which makes it really hard to get up at 5.40am. So in a continuation of inspirational images, I bring you that legend of Euro-porn, Pavel Novotny. Sure, no matter how much I go to the gym, I’ll never have a cock like his but hell, I’ll use him as inspiration.

Vote for Brodie!

This is Brodie, one of the Sydney entrants in DNA’s search for a cover model competition. He’s originally from Hobart and is a really nice guy. He’s hoping for some votes in the competition and clearly has what it takes to be on the cover of the magazine. Apparently it takes some serious discipline to maintain that kinda zero body fat image… maybe that’s what I’m doing wrong?

So, click on the image for a closer look at Brodie and then head on over and vote for him!

Amazing photos

Every now and then, mother nature decides to prove to us mere mortals that we will never know everything about what she has to offer and we should respect our world a bit more. A friend sent me these stunning images of a mass migration of Golden Rays off the coast of Mexico. What an amazing sight captured by Sandra Critelli, an amateur photographer, stumbled across the phenomenon off the northern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula while looking for whale sharks.

NEW: Aussiebum GLO!

Aussiebum are about to release a new limited run of underwear called Glo! Available in four different colours these undies will have a glow in the dark waist band, handy for finding them on the floor when you are trying to make a hasty discreet exit from that bad-choice shag. They are going to be a very limited run, so get in early and order them. They won’t be making more!

Get them from the 24th October!
