Brother, can you spare a dime?

2008-10-10T21:22:00Z

Is it coming to this....again?

(Breadlines in New York City during the Great Depression)

They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob,
When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear, I was always there right on the job.
They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead,
Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread?

Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad; now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime;
Once I ...

One of the major pleasures of travelling is people watching. Actually, I correct myself. It's MEN watching. And let me tell you, they make the men watchable in the US. Maybe it's because there's like so many of you there (compared with Australia, not China) that the proportions of hotness to notness is exponentially increased.

Here are some initial snaps I stole of random man at his unaware best. Extra points go to readers that can identify the city in which each photo was taken.

More from the Queensland Surrogacy Review

2008-10-10T20:30:00Z

I was interested in this passage from the Queensland Altruistic Surrogacy Review: As noted, Queensland is the only Australian jurisdiction where altruistic surrogacy is a criminal offence with the maximum penalty $7,500 or three years jail. Under the Queensland Criminal Code, surrogacy matters are classified as simple offences, which mean they are dealt with by the Magistrates Court. A review

Alejandro or Shawn Harriri - Reprise on Demand

Due to a popular and semi-unprecedented demand, I'm doing an early reprise post on Shawn Harriri.

I thought I'd start off with some 'sophisticated' upper end mainstream studio shots - you know the 'Men's Magazine' look (directly above and below). The soft lighting gives this away if there were any doubt!

Belatedly, when looking at the District Court judgments which are now available on the net (more [...]

Random thoughts and events in this superchilled life...
I posted a few weeks ago about dozens of strange Chinese women calling me. Today I got another call. This time they hung up on me.

Our house didn't sell at auction. Well the auction itself didn't happen. Of course a whole financial system melt down right in the middle of our marketing campaign had nothing to do with it. But it's still on the market - and we're still optimistic.
I had a quiet night at the hospital last night - got to bed at 1am - earlier than most weeks - and despite it all couldn't get to sleep until after 3am... If only they had a lap pool at the hospital. Hmmm perhaps I should speak to the CEO.
My affinity for water now includes those high pressure water jets at car wash places where you do-it-yourself. I don't think it's an ...

Supernaturally Hot

2008-10-10T12:24:04Z

Supernatural is a TV series created by Eric Kripke, it started in 2005 and its latest season, number Four, kicked off here in Australia just last Monday. This series is about two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester, who were raised by their father, John, to hunt and kill all things supernatural after his wife, Mary, was murdered by something evil when the boys were young. The first show then basically kicks off 22 years later when the brothers set out on a journey, fighting evil and all kinds of supernatural goings on along the way.

Sam (pictured right) is played by Jared Padalecki ...

Aussie Undies & Briefs

2008-10-10T12:24:04Z

Today underwear has become a fashion mainstay. Whilst older manufacturers are still holding market share, there are nonetheless many fashion and syle based underwear upstarts. And no where is this more apparant than in the insatiable appetite of the gay market. Oh yeah, were insatiable. They almost all use the lure of the sexy, scantily clad male body as their primary advertising hook. On magazine pages and billboards, 2(x)ist, Calvin Klein, Sauvage, Ginch Gonch, Tommy Hilfinger, Dolce & Gabbana as well as countless others all vie for your attention using masculine sex appeal as the bait. Gotta lurve those marketing guys.

But what I think is really great in this ever growing underwear market (now that conjured up images, huh?) is the number of Aussie players now on the market. From underwear to swimwear, we have it all covered. Barely. So if you like the look of some of the goodies below, be sure to click through to their websites and ...

It does seem like a number of things have just fallen into place, even if it's only stupid things like traffic lights changing when you need them to, the bus arriving just as you get to the stop, being engaged with work all day and feeling appropriately useful at certain points, getting to wear jeans, Morning Tea with homemade cupcakes (during which I should have shut the hell up, because I somehow volunteered to make my ...

Out and about in St Kilda #7

This is an absolutely stunning building on Barkly Street, St Kilda. It is such a shame that it has changed from being the government owned bank, The Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the peoples bank, the bank for your most poor to get their home loan from, to being an office of an avaricious real estate agent.

Chaos, cash and Copenhagen

2008-10-10T07:49:00Z

Flying out of Tullamarine shortly after midnight after a frantic afternoon trying to put the editorial content for issue #1 of Canvas to bed is perhaps not the best way to kick off a four day media junket to Copenhagen, but is (perhaps appropriately) indicative of the manic nature of my life...

So after four and a half hours sleep and a 14 hour day at work, I had an eight hour flight to Hong Kong (for a 45 minute stop-over: so frustratingly close to where Kerryn, an old friend lives, but completely unable to contact her - besides which, it was 6am local time when we landed in Hong Kong and I didn't think she'd appreciate a phone call at that hour!); and then another 12 hours to London for a one hour stop-over (again, so frustratingly close to another friend, Rick) before a quick jaunt across the North Sea to Copenhagen.

We got in at 7pm local time, and within 40 minutes I was checked into my hotel in the centre of the city, just ...

Gay Porn Performer Mason Wyler Defends Claim He Was Gang-Raped and Brutally Attacked

2008-10-10T07:31:43Z

In a post on his blog, 24-year-old gay porn star Mason Wyler suggests that while he might be promiscuous, his claim that he was brutally beaten, gang-raped and held at gunpoint at his home in late September is completely true.

The latest post at Wyler Nation from the prolific adult film performer was in response to suggestions and comments circulating around the web which posit that Wyler, who is known in the adult film industry as a ‘power bottom,' concocted his story of sexual battery at the hands of 28-year-old army captain as a publicity stunt and that he willingly engaged in the abusive activities he claims to have been subjected to.

According to a statement Wyler gave to police at the end of September, he lost his wallet at a local bar and had it returned to him at his home by an army

Instead, I have committed myself to a redesign of the blog layout. It is always a long, challenging process. But it does leave me cramped and sore from bending over the 'puter for waaaaaay too long.

Of course, I can't just load a new, already complete layout. I have to tweak and adjust it within an inch of its life. Obsessive? Nah, just crazy.

CREATIVE MADNESS CLOSES SHORTLY

So, Creative Madness closes at Orson & Blake, Surry Hills store, on Sunday 12 October at 2 p.m.
If you haven't already seen it, please do so. Otherwise, here are images of my work that's in the show. I believe it is still for sale, and the money will go to a very worthy cause - me.

No I am kidding, the money is going to the Prince of Wales Medical Institute, to fund research into mental illness. Very important research, if you know anyone who suffers from depression, and I think we all have at some point, some worse than others. If you've been in the grasp of deep blues you will know what torture it is, and would probably pay more than 500 smackers to "dissapear" that feeling. Well one day you just may be able to get rid of it that simply if we can find out more about it.

Pls see below images that show the portfolio of 3 images I am offering from my current series "I'm So ...

Motorshow Madness

2008-10-10T03:47:00Z

Well, we’re smack bang in the middle of the Australian International Motor Show (AIMS) and as a telling sign of the way the industry is shaping up 18 manufacturers did not display at this years event. Luxury brands especially were absent including Audi, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Jaguar, Porsche and Aston Martin. This is probably of little consequence to most of those in the market for a new car, but it’ll certainly make the show a more mundane event without all that automotive sex on display.

More disappointing though was the number of local reveals, Previously Ford, Holden and Toyota have all shown something horn. Holden’s design division in particular has pumped out some truly awesome show cars starting with the Commodore Coupe concept in 1998 which went on to become the Monaro and Poniac GTO. So what did they have this year? Nothing. They launched the ecoline range which applies to passenger cars fueled by LPG or Diesel and to the V ...

During the course of their relationship, Ms Maniaci had adopted two children. Ms Kulstad wanted to be involved in their care and to see them. Ms Maniaci sought that she not do so, asserting that as she was the only legal parent that Ms

Whoever would have thunk it? Hilary Duff has come out against that naive, thoughtless and hurtful habit of using the term "gay" as a blanket negative. I hate the use of it and it really gets up my g-string, so I'm really pleased that someone, even if it is Miss Duff, has the balls to stand up for our love rights.

There's enough discrimination against queer folk already without listening to vapid kids calling each other's clothes gay.
