New Orleans again …

I have found myself once again at the New Orleans Cafe in Crows Nest on this wet afternoon.  I had quite an enjoyable lunch and thanks to the staff generously allowing me to use a power point, I am not getting down to some work (thanks to my laptop and smartphone – have I ever told you I just love what technology allows us to do!).

Anyway, the actual point of this post was to share some grafiti and other stuff from the Mens Room here.  First up was this grafiti.  When I think of the real New Orlean (although I have never been there personally), I think of food and music … I think this really embodies it!

I am not sure if this is going to be legible, but I will upload a high res version of the image another day if it’s not.  The message though is this: Never, ever, fuck with the person who prepares your food!  It’s a heart warming reminder for all those under appreciated cooks out there ;-)

Melbourne visit 26th and 27th of November

Just a quick post to let you know that I will be in Melbourne on the 26th and 27th of this month (November).  Please see my calendar on my Price & Booking page for my availability.

I will be at Sexpo on Saturday afternoon and am hoping to get along to The Night Cat in Fitzroy too.  I haven’t been there in years (litterally since before I moved to Sydney).

Hope to see you in Melbourne!

Sleeping alone …

It’s not often that I end up sleeping alone, but tonight is one of those nights.

Hotels on your own are like some sort of twilight zone for the weary traveler … You have everything you need, but a warm body beside you in bed makes it that much less alien.

So, are you sleeping alone tonight? Text me if you feel like making a connection in this sometimes lonely world :-)

Curse this rain …

I don’t often say this, but Curse This Rain!

I am about to get on the bike and head to Sydney and it’s raining.  Not my favourite way to travel in the wet.  My car (which has been at the mechanics for three weeks) is finally home and working, however the fairly major nature of the work done to it means that it is limited to just running around on short trips for a while until it is properly bedded in again.

So, bike it is once again.  The road works around my area don’t help either, making a slow trip slower and meaning that the bike is definitely going to need another wash when I get home!

Scratchy or smooth?

I am lucky enough to have facial whiskers that grow slowly, meaning that I really only need to shave a couple of times a week.  I also make a point of carrying a razor with me when I am on an overnight date or longer date so that I can keep my chin smooth, after all no-one likes a stubbly kiss, right?

Not so fast!  I was informed recently by someone that she rather liked a bit of stubble, so no, please don’t shave.

I was surprised to say the least.  So I need to ask the question: what do you like when you kiss a man?  Do you prefer stubble, or a smooth chin?

Bed time stories for very naughty girls – Podcast Episode 1

This post brings you something just a little bit different.  Today I have made a very short podcast for you: an excerpt from the first chapter of Fanny Hill, by John Cleland – a piece of erotic fiction written in 1748.

Scene from chapter eight of Fanny Hill

From the Wikipedia entry for Fanny Hill:

Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (popularly known as Fanny Hill) is an erotic novel by John Cleland first published in England in 1748. Written while the author was in debtor’s prison in London, it is considered “the first original English prose pornography, and the first pornography to use the form of the novel.” One of the most prosecuted and banned books in history”

How could I resist?

It seemed like a great way to let you hear my voice, and if you like it enough (please let me know with a comment below!), then I may just podcast the entire story.

An interview

About a year ago I was contacted by a woman who is a documentary film maker.  She has been working on a documentary about the male escort industry for women.

She has travelled all over the world to talk to escorts and record their stories.  I have done a number of interview with her in that time and am going to be seeing her again this week.

It has been an interesting experience and I am looking forward to seeing the finished product in due course.

I have always been somewhat sceptical of the media and their approach to the subject of escorting.  There is usually a lot of pre-judgement and pre-conceived ideas about us and the industry and our clients.  I agreed to participate in the end. partly at least because I think anything that raises the profile of male escorts for women is a good thing.  So few women even know that we exist, or that we offer a service that they might enjoy.  A new (Australian) documentary on the subject might be beneficial all round.

There is of course always the risk of prejudices tainting the outcome, but I think that in this case we are on fairly safe ground.

The one thing that I have always thought should be mandatory for someone reporting on our industry is that they actually experience the service that we offer.  After all, to me it seems a lot like trying to describe ice cream without ever having eaten any.  Until you have eaten ice cream it’s all just words.  The experience is something else altogether!

The lady in question declined my offer for first-hand experience unfortunately, so we shall see …

I will keep you posted.

Pin cushion!

I had my regular check-up with the doctor the other day and after having blood drawn, plus a vaccination booster for Hep A and B I feel like pin cushion!

I don’t much like needles at the best of times, so this was extra unpleasant.

However it’s all for a good cause and ultimately very important that I know that I am safe and that I am not putting my clients at risk.

The nurse who normally take blood at my GP’s clinic was away again (a regular occurance), so the doctor had to take the sample in stead.  I am really pleased to find that his technique has improved dramatically since the last time that I saw him!

The vaccination still stung like blazes though and I still feel like I have been punched in the arm.

Still, modern medicine.  I wouldn’t want to live in a world without.

Fancy a trip to Hong Kong?

Being a “Qantas Frequent Flyer” I am kept totally up-to-date by Qantas on their goings on.  I just received an email about their latest offer …

“From 15 January 2012,* our award winning A380 will fly four times a week from Sydney direct to Hong Kong, a city that never sleeps.  To celebrate we’re offering amazing sale fares for travel to Hong Kong.

Economy – Enjoy Qantas Economy comfort from Sydney to Hong Kong for just $380 one-way, or $760 return.”

So, there you have it ladies.  If the urge strikes you to have a weekend in Hong Kong with me, then (Qantas) airfares in Late January to Hong Kong will be much more affordable! ;-)

The image used at the top of this post comes from the Qantas promotional material that they emailed me.  It seems reasonable therefore to reproduce it here!

The return of foggy mornings

One of the things that I love about longer days is getting out early for a walk with the dogs.  And this time of year there is the extra pleasure of fog.

I love walking on a foggy morning, everything is damp and dripping, but as you go the fog slowly starts to lift and by the time you are home again the sun is probably peeping over the mountain and burning away the fog, making everything golden …

It’s a great way to start the day.
