Ginch Gonch, shaved balls and Velvet Sensations

I've just gotten in from eating out with a friend. We went to Velvet in Canal Street. I always like the food there, but what I especially like is the Velvet Sensation cocktail (see photo above)! It's a heady concoction of Baileys, Kahlua, Vodka, cream, ice and chocolate sauce and it's totally fabulous. I may have had several for forgive if this post meanders around a bit.

Oh, and look at the fish tank (photograph below). You can't actually see the fish, but they are lurking in there somewhere. This is in the middle of the staircase and you descend into the restaurant and you step on it as you walk down. Don't worry, the tank is actually suspended below the glass floor so the fish aren't disturbed by the vibrations of people walking on their ceiling. Cute idea, don't you think?


Anyway, guess what I saw when I went into the steam room at the gym today? That's right, this guy was shaving his bollocks. That's the second time I've seen that happen in there. When I first entered, I had a look around as it was quite dark and I wanted to make sure I didn't sit on anyone. I spotted this guy in the corner and it looked like he was shaving, so I sat on the other granite bench thinking that he wasn't being very hygienic. Anyway, as I sat down I thought that something wasn't quite right and when I looked again, I saw this guy had his swimming shorts pulled down and his cock and balls were out on display since he was cheerfully shaving his bollocks.

I just don't know what gets into some people. Whether it's not showering before getting into the swimming pool or shaving your balls in the steam room, the standard of hygiene and regard for their fellow man is definitely lacking at my gym lately!


Ooh, on a happier note, check out my new underpants! I was browsing in T K Maxx for some fig-scented candles and I happened to check out the underwear while I was in there and spotted that they had a pile of Ginch Gonch in. Now, in case you've never head of them, Ginch Gonch is an expensive Canadian brand of underwear, kind of like Aussiebum I guess. Anyway, as you can see, I treated myself to a whole bunch of 'em in different colours and styles. The low-rise briefs were a bit of a surprise though, the cheeky feckers barely cover my ass!

Here's another bootylicious hot guy from Adam Bouska. This brown-eyed lovely is called Braden. I love those cheeky low-rise Big Bang Star Ginch Gonch undies too!

Novelty underwear for men - the New York Times tries to understand

Yet another hilariously po-faced article in the New York Times about mens' underwear, specially the colourful retro styles favoured by the likes of Aussiebum and Ginch Gonch.

The article states that "In all their goofy glory, briefs in bright colors, zany prints, new materials and daring cuts are undermining the classic white brief’s long-held status as king of the hill. In 2006, white’s share of the market dipped below 50 percent for the first time in decades, if not ever."


I have to say, although I still wear my classic Calvin Klein white boxer briefs, I love the colourful retro styles from Aussiebum and Ginch Gonch. What style of underwear are you into?
