Tribute to L'Origine du Monde
Dear Readers may recall one of my favorite articles thaI wrote on the classic French painting L'Origine du Monde.
Gustave Courbet's 1866 work is arguably one of the most popular and pornographic paintings in Art History. As I researched and wrote about, It has a long and fascinating history of ownership, starting with a Turkish diplomat, crossing Europe, and finally returning to Paris, where it is enjoyed by millions of visitors to the Mussee d'Orsay.
Art inspires art, and here the lovely Lucasta takes a self-portrait in tribute to the original masterpiece.

Sophie's World
What I love about Sophie's world is what she surounds herself with.
Here is an addendum to the above post, in response to a Dear Reader's comment. A second photo from the same day, and a note from the photographer, Sophie:
That time of the year when you get goosebumps under the sun because there’s no way you’re jumping into those trousers again. It’s the time of the skirt and the dress, the slow slide towards bare feet. Hello, Spring.

What a Martini Can Lead To...
It's been a while since we posted a shot of the lovely Julia. So here's a great one. Outside, on her patio, on a warm day. Martini in hand, and her other hand...

Suggestive Light
I love this diptych of Andrea Margaret by Darren Ankenman. It reveals, conceals. the view sees everything, and yet, yearns to see more. That, my Dear Readers, is sexy.

Lauren Bacall's Screen Test
Here are two amazing images: the first real--the hair and make up tests for "To Have and Have Not"; and the second, a clever internet fake of a nude Lauren Bacall.
As readers of this blog know, I've written about Bacall, the most sultry starlet. So you know that Lauren, first Betty, made her huge Hollywood debut at age 24 in "To Have and Have Not" alongside the great Humphrey Bogart, and that the two fell in love, and eventually married, and went on to star in four more films together before his death.
It's a well known fact that young, beautiful aspiring starlets were subjected to Hollywood's infamous "casting couch." Studio executives and casting agents had an almost unfathomable level of unchecked power in those days...
In these two images, it's not hard to imagine that these could be the "test" of young Betty, posing for hair, make up, and then the request for a shot "out of wardrobe," to show her figure. "You do want to be in pictures, right doll?"
It is a sexist, offensive, and almost terrifying thought. I'm ashamed to even think about it. But isn't that the most powerful fuel of fantasy?

Patricia At A Glory Hole
If there is one thing Patricia liked to do, it was suck cock. She really truly enjoyed it. It was pretty obvious from the start of our relationship that she'd had some pretty wild sexual experiences in college in southern California, and since. Together she and I had done bondage, anal, and made home videos. Knowing that, I wanted to see how far she'd go.
Once evening, after dinner and drinks, I suggested we stop into an adult store with glory holes. I just wanted to see what she'd say. "Ok," she said. And we went in.
