One of those What-Might-Have-Been Situations


I came across some very grainy footage recently of a most extraordinary ballet dancer - someone who obviously had the greatest future. Around 16, she'd been taking leading roles in the Mariinsky (Kirov) Theatre while still a student at the school.


The film shows Valentina Semyukova in a pas de deux from 'The Nutcracker'.


She already seems perfectly formed as a dancer, about to enlarge on her technique.


Through the movement, there is a perfect disposition of the forms of her body - creating an continuously exquisite line.


The phrasing with respect to the music is always intelligently considered and placed in an unmannered fashion. Not just following the music but leading purposefully away and then returning to catch the beat.

She is still technically tentative, which is particularly evident in the section involving 'fish dives' - the choreography has been simplified somewhat for the still developing dancer.



Very sadly, Valentina Semyukova died of an unspecified illness at just 17 years of age.

André Oliveira - Finally A Return Season


André Oliveira (for me) is one of the absolutely hottest guys on the planet.


Down a lot of posts - one with the sea as a backdrop ...




... and another with him down and personal in the sand dunes ...




... which ended with an edifying J O ...




Well, finally finally he's back for a return season - more mature and looking hot hot hot - still total perfection ...













Always faithful to 'my guys'!
Aboriginals at Home

'King Charlie's Tribe', Boort Creek, Central Victoria, Australia (1863)

My paternal great-great grandfather arrived in Australia in 1852 from France via the Caribbean island of Martinique. And 'took up' land in Central Victoria, round 100 miles north of Melbourne.

My great-great grandmother's people settled in Boort in North-Eastern Victoria and, in the most charitable way of putting it, were occupying property there alongside 'King Charlie's' Loddon Tribe.

The tribe was photographed in 1863, having been 'set up' according to European artistic precepts of the time - a triangular disposition of the group, reflected fortuitously in the general form of their humpy or temporary dwelling. Aboriginals were nomadic within the scope of their land.

The original names of the individuals in the group were dispensed with for European ones with ranks of status where it was felt appropriate - 'King Charlie'.

Again putting the most positive though probably unreal spin on it, the following group of artifacts were 'given' to my family ...


It this distance in time and place I can (just) examine at them without big big guilt.

The boomerangs are made of a very heavy wood - good to knocking down kangaroos and the like.

And covered with incised patterns of lines ...


... some of which I suspect represent topographical features of the landscape (such as the waving crossing-over continuous lines down the center suggesting a creek) - and others the footprints of prey being hunted ...


There are two stone axes, perhaps used for skinning animals or cleaning their hides ...



As much as anything, I'd really like to know a lot more about these Loddon tribe people.

What were they like as individuals? What were the particular relationships between them? What was their socio-cultural belief system?

All the things you tend to know when subjects are not being treated from the anthropological point of view of the period.

Sucking and Rimming Mr Marx


Not sure quite what it is about Malachi Marx but the more I see him the more I want him - actually, this is getting to sound a bit too much like a lyric!


So when I saw him getting a very superior and hot sucking and rimming, the word 'POST' just popped unshiftably into my mind.



Apart from anything else, there's the appeal of his big fat slug of a dick ...






After a bit of a lick ...


... and a nip bite ...


... we're down to the serious business of rimming ... and I go just crazy with lust when the guy's rolled back on the bed, legs up and apart, crack wide open and I'm just centimeters from his furry gateway to paradise ...



... and from a feast fit for a king (or queen) ...






Enjoy guys ... just try not to!




Glad Mr Marx's more relaxed in gay sex these days and seems to be able to really give himself to it.

Seen some hot hot vids - with Leo G and then with Xander - the subjects of future posts?
