A New Year's Self-portrait.


It’s hot, hot, hot! Clothes are worn only when absolutely necessary, but since we have excellent privacy, the only people we are likely to shock are each other.I took this self-portrait on New Year’s morning. Last night we went to dinner with friends after wisely avoiding the New Year’s Eve drunks the night before. The meal featured a pork-loin, marinated and roasted in wine, porcellum oenococtum, an ancient Roman recipe by Apicius, b. 25 bc. It was to die for! I wish all our dear lj friends the happiest of happy New Years.

I said the same thing in your partner's journal, but it applies here as well: You are a beautiful man.

Hi handsome! Happy new year.Like Ian's, to which it's very much a companion piece, intended or not - this is a wonderful photo in so may ways, but I think you already know that. It's also captured you beautifully. Wish I was there to give you a great big hug (coz you look so huggable) but will a long distance smackereoonie do instead?

I have an almost uncontrollable urge to board a flight to Australia RIGHT NOW so I can come to Sidney and (with Ian's permission) run my fingers through your lush back hair.I'll be alright; right now, I am taking deep breaths and reminding myself how utterly inpractical this would be.All the best this year, mates!

zohnhn17 hat gesagt…

well a matched set of self portraits. who needs clothes when you have something to give that doesn't require such enveloping. A person with depth and has a 2000 year old recipe to enjoy!all the best to you both.

In a Sydney summer, nudity is not scandalous, it's a necessity.

If my face really reflected the rises and falls in my fortunes I'd look like a cross between Phillipe Noiret and Bukowski with a touch of William Burroughs thrown in.

I've already made a list of guests for my Borgia banquet. The Cheneys will be seated next to the Bin Ladens who are opposite the Perles and Sharons. The oleander canapes, followed by the castor beans with pork will be a treat. (We will call it "beans and white-steak" in deferrence to the Bin Ladens and Sharons). Betty Windsor will have the honour of lighting the Bombe Surpris.
