A La Recherche de l'Erotisme Perdu


For Proust, it was the 'petit madeleine' but for me it's images of these three guys of yesteryear that totally unlock memory - well, the erotic variety.

First up is Dex Brown who knows how to work a dressing table within an inch if its life ...




... and who is someone you know would have absolutely no limits ... once you managed to get him off the dresser and onto the bed.

Andras Garotni aka Leo Nemeth is next - and packs a far more polite erotic charge ...






... but he's someone you still wanna get down and naked with ASAP - maybe with the possibility of a meal after ... and before another hot and steamy fuck fest.

David Rhodes brings up the rear with a somewhat elegant eroticism - it's in the hands ...








... but that big thick boner guarantees there's more than afternoon tea in the offing.

So guys, so who do you dredge up in such nostalgic moments?

Curious How Things Come Your Way - Four Antique Embroidered Muslim Jackets

Antique Mindanao Muslim Jacket

Curious how things come your way - like a set of antique Muslim jackets from Mindanao in the Philippines.

A few years back, we weathered a typhoon in the island of Boracay, the Philippines, in a concrete almost bunker-styled Korean restaurant. And to pass the time we'd fallen into conversation with one of the local traditional landowners who'd developed a museum there devoted to antique Filipino artefacts.



Unfortunately in the course of the malstrom the museum was badly damaged. And so over the next days, we helped our new friend clean up. And were seriously taken aback when she insisted, for our troubles, we take the set of four Muslim jackets and various other antique textiles from Northern Luzon.

The connections with other Muslim cultures in South East Asia is obvious, such as in the following examples from the Hmong Meo hilltribe of Chiang Mai in Thailand ...




Several weeks after returning to Australia, and equally extraordinarily, a book arrived on our doorstep - 'Sinaunang Habi - Philippine Ancestral Weave', sent by our friend to contextualise her amazing gift.

Most interestingly then, the book showed how antique clothing was worn - we could see our jackets modelled for both men and women ...

Mandaya Highlands Davao Oriental Mandaya

Savoy Matanao Davao del Sur B'laan

Dungan Pekong Matanao Davao del Sur B'laan

Various Regions

The book was so seductively beautiful I posted on it pretty much immediately - 'Tribal Beauty - Philippine Cultural Identity in Traditional Woven Clothing'.

So guys, what sorts of things have unexpectedly shored up your way?

Obviously, this has potential for a caring and sharing moment/s!

Phenix Dardin - A Good Start to the New Year


I guess after all the Xmas good cheer we've had with families and friends we really should get back to work - and the first order of business is .... Phenix Dardin.

Now most people, in my experience, don't look that raging hot in white but Phenix's here to break the rule - and looks so creamily erotic spread over white sheets that he seems ready to eat right off ...


Of course ...


... I'm now wondering (as you will be too I guess) ...


... just what part ...


... I'd wanna savour first ...


... though, come to think of it, I don't in fact seem to be having any difficulty deciding at all ...


How bout you?

Of course Phenix is impatient to get on with his first order of business for the New Year and, with a curious switch-a-roo of sheets, wastes no time in grabbing his Prince Albert pierced dick (a Xmas pressie?) and stroking it up nice and hard ...




Like the good employee he is, our bud periodically checks his work ...


... and looks to see if we approve ...



No argument from me! You?



And then, with our approval, he's back at it ...



... quality controling every now and then ...



... till he gets seriously into the straight ...


Now this may not be the hottest cumming in the history of the world ...





... but at least we get securely to the 'winning post'.

Job well done.

Perhaps Phenix might take this observation on advisement ... as one of his New Year's resolutions?
