Upon returning from Boston, we were first greeted with these blooms of the Caryopteris, a sure sign of the Fall season. It is one of the last plants to give good color, and usually starts a bit sooner (another whacky loop of this strange season, which up to now had been providing an earlier-than-usual blooming schedule). It’s a favorite of bees, who seem torn between these blossoms and the loftier Sweet Autumn Clematis.
In case you missed my previous Whale of a Tale post, here are a few (very short) videos of our whale watch excursion on our last trip to Provincetown. I still get chills watching these magnificent creatures break the surface.
Majestic and moving.
Up until now, all I’ve seen are those star-censored pics that only serve to obscure Prince Harry’s ass – now here it is in all its royal glory (albeit with the TMZ watermark). I’m still undecided about this whole affair – Â on the one hand, I would never get naked when there are cel phones around (only cameras and flattering lighting). However, I’ve also never been drunk in a million-dollar Las Vegas suite, and I’m sure if I was the last thing I would be thinking of is a cel phone. Hell, I’d do more than strip naked if I were in that position, and I’ve got my own photos to prove it. So I guess I feel bad for the guy. He’s young, he’s rich, he’s in Las Vegas… where is the blame? Rock out with your cock out, Mr. Prince. No shame in that game.
While this probably wouldn’t be my first choice of attire in selling my first autobiography, I suppose you work your strongest assets when you’re hawking a book. In this case, Tom Daley is working that Speedo like a bitch in heat. (This gratuitous post is a reminder of our Summer Olympics – the posts of which I’ll try to repopulate if ever I find a spare minute.)
Not only is Ben Cohen beautiful and confident in the underwear department, he also has a tremendous heart, as evidenced by his StandUp Foundation. Check it out HERE, and pick up some of his underwear if you are so inclined.
Ben Cohen in various states of underwear will be featured in the next day of posts, so stick around, or come back often.
In honor of the rather startling (to me anyway) news that Adam Levine will be in this season of ‘American Horror Story: Asylum’, I give you this naked photo of him again – because when it’s that good, you want to do it over and over and over again. Personally, I was not sure about checking into the Asylum – there is no way they could possibly hope to top Season One as far as genuine surprises go, but I’m giving them a chance. I just hope they don’t veer into shock and gore to up the ante. That said, if they want to put Mr. Levine into Dylan McDermott’s first-season lack of clothing, I’m all for it.
Our ongoing quest for perfection continues as we tweak and twerq this website into something more marvelous than it’s ever been. Webmaster Skip has been working on getting things beautified, and I’m slaving away arduously at putting up past posts (no mean feat given that all photos need to be re-found and re-sized for the new format) as well as writing new ones. Now I know how President Obama feels running the country and a re-election campaign simultaneously. [Daintily wipes brow.]
How do you like what you see so far? I’m slowly getting the hang of things, and with my Skype Cherry popped by Skip a few days ago, we have an easy quick way of communication to speed things along when they get stuck. (Do not ask me to Skype though, I don’t have time to get a proper wardrobe together, much less a fitting backdrop, and don’t even talk to me about lighting.)
There’s a bit of a push, solely from my end, to have this website done in the next few weeks, as this Fall I am clearing time and space to focus on my next project, slated for ALL of 2013. That sort of thing takes some serious preparation. Are you ready?
Because no hotel stay is complete without a couple of shower shots – and when you’re staying at an establishment as fabulous as the 8 Dyer Hotel, you take a picture whenever you take a shower.
