Hello All...

I know that I don't post here all that often any more, but that's more a reflection on how busy I am (mostly) at work than anything else - my other blogs see woefully small amounts of traffic as well...

Anyway, I am starting a new photographic project and I am looking for willing volunteers...

I know, you are immediately assuming that I want you to take your clothes off, but I beg to differ - this "work" requires y'all to keep 'em on!

Now it wouldn't be me if there wasn't a catch, so here goes...

I'm looking for couples (real or fake I don't care, but if you are going to rope a "mate" into this, keep reading before you do), gay or straight, young or old, big / medium / small, white/black/brown or even green... These couples need to be comfortable with the following three requirements:

1. You need to be ok with kissing in public, and when I say kissing I mean snogging / tonsil-hockey / pashing

2. You need to be ok with putting your hands in places on your partner's body (and vice versa) that __might__ raise some eyebrows, but without showing ANYTHING.

3. You need to be ok with the idea that these images may well end up in a book, or on a wall in a public place and they will DEFINITELY end up on the Internet, but only on my site - they will NEVER be sold / syndicated to any other internet sites. They WILL NOT appear on Facebook; in fact you will have to agree to not post them on Facebook or in fact anywhere on the Net (except online modeling site(s) if you are a model and wish to self-promote with them).

I am not offering any money for this assignment, but I am more than happy to supply one or two images per couple as keepsakes / portfolio material etc...

If this sounds like something that you might enjoy doing and you have a lover / occasional partner / friend who you could do it with then please get in touch.

If you like the idea, but it's not for you, then please rack your brains for people you know that would be "up for it" who will not have seen this post - it is posted as public in order to facilitate the "pass it on" thing...

..::EDIT::.. For the record I am more than prepared to travel (internationally if necessary) to get this done with people who are cool, diverse and into the idea, so don't think I won't come to you if you are in [insert country outside the UK here], ok?

Thanks for reading, I hope to hear from some of you...

Dear Mr. Clegg,

Please, please, please have the balls to turn down a coalition with Labour AND the Conservatives. If Cameron is forced to form a minority government then you, your party and the other progressive parties can force him to offer a referendum on electoral reform as an alternative to a vote of no confidence.

Come on, am I the only one who can see this as the logical result? The country has spoken and a Conservative minority government that won't be able to gut public spending __is__ what we want.

...but in the meantime, here is a picture (full size behind a cut):

I'm trying not to enjoy myself at all, I promise ;-)

Thanks go to misspotsitt for these three, but first; here are the "rules":

1) Comment to this and I will give you three people.
2) Post this meme with your answers.
3) Provide pictures and the names of the three people I gave you.
4) Label which you would marry, shag, and throw off a cliff.

Orson Welles
Shag - C'mon, you wouldn't!??! Look at him, he's gorgeous __and__ he was so talented; on might say brilliant. He's only not "Marry" because I'm not sure I could sustain a longterm "thing" with a man...


Christina Hendricks (or "'Er what plays Joan on Mad Men")
Marry - Beautiful, talented, redhead - what's not to like? Seriously she __might__ be a horrible bitch in private, but based on her public persona I'd love to make a daily routine of making her happy and horny ;-)


Orlando Bloom
Throw him off a cliff - I don't hate him, but he stars in a film that is irreparably tied to a darker chapter in my life (Elizabethtown if you must know), and I have to pick one of the three to throw off a cliff and he has the least talent. Shame really, 'cos he is kinda hot ;-)

The band that my brother was playing with / contributing to for the last three years or so and which he left in November when he moved to Belgium have unfortunately decided to hang it up.

This is the last video that they made - I have to say I think it's great, but then I'm biased... Serious props to the guy (who I don't know and haven't met) that made this for them; it's splendid.

It's been coming for a while, but I finally had the nerve and opportunity today...



Happy Weekend (almost) to all!

Thanks to @nicktelford @amykate @littlespy for bringing it to my attention between them (Twitter Identities all)

Give a major charity that is on the ground some money, ok?

You can afford it if you can read this - yeah I’m looking at you…

(Medecins sans Frontières got mine in case you’re wondering)

Spread this around why don't you - seems like a good cause to me...
