Seasonal Sightings

Just Because: Sasha Sasse


When I first saw some of these shots of the gorgeous Sasha Sasse,  I thought the former Mister Germany, (2019) might have been caught naked on a boat by the paparazzi.  Soon however, I learned that shots appear to be from Sasse's time on the reality show  Adam Sucht Eva. (Adam seeks Eve) Either way, I wanted to share them, and although I've seen some clips, want to check out the episodes that he was in.


Sasse was about 26 when he won his Mister German title and sash.  Born in Leipzig, Sasse had been training as a sports and fitness specialist after spending four years in the German Armed Forces.  He then worked a model and stylist combining his love of fitness by starting an online shop specializing in sportswear.


Sasse describes himself as highly sensitive, noting that he can sense the emotions of the people around him. On his Instagram page, he has shared tips on meditation and self-reflection. He also surprised followers there with the statement: 'I have aspects of a woman within me just as I have masculine traits.'


Although he may have and experience both masculine and feminine traits, this Mister Germany seems to like the ladies, including being the prince for a princess.  Although their relationship was short lived, he briefly dated   Princess Xenia of Saxony after winning his pageant title.  I guess if I were the Princess of German state full of fortresses and  palaces I'd be wanting to bring a hot Mister Germany back to the palace as well.  Sadly, she was left alone in the castle, (not sure if she had one or two glass slippers) just three weeks after they met.



Erico Ventania: The Salacious Seaman


 Sailing 
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be 
Just a dream and the wind to carry me 
Soon, I will be free


I save one of the shots from this series a few years ago, saving it to post as an eventual 'seasonal sighting'.  When I went to find the credit, I saw that the image I had was one of a series of shots of Brazilian adult film star Erico Ventania.


These shots appear to be from a promotional shoot for Island Fever, the 1989 video Erico made for Kristen Bjorn.  I'm only guess, as I could only find two videos the hot Brazilian performed in, the second and last being Carnaval in Rio, also filmed in 1989.


Erico was rather intimidated by his two costars in Island Fever when he first met them. 'I'll bet they have enormous dicks!' he said to me confidentially. He was right.

Radical Self-Expression


'The playa gives you what you need, not necessarily what you want'


The first BurningšŸ”„Man took place 40 years ago in 1986.  It occurred on a San Francisco Beach were 'event' founder Larry Harvey burned an 8-foot wooden man.  As it grew, another location was required, and in 1990 it moved the remote Nevada desert.  Each year, about 75,000 people gather each summer to build the city and form the community.


BurningšŸ”„Man usually spans eight days ending on the Labor Day weekend.  Although the festival has no corporate backing, sponsorship or venders, participants rely on sharing and gifts.  There are also, not usually scheduled headliners, but many live acts, alternative bands and electronic artists & DJs make 'surprise' appearances. 


Although not a festival, the community is based on a set of principles guided by values including radical self-expression, gifting, inclusion, responsibility and leaving not trace.  Attendees are expected to respect the environment, clean up when they leave, and leave all the physical location with not trace that they were there.  Just like at the first gathering in 1986, the event culminates with the ceremonial burning of a large wooden 'Man'. 


Although the event is not officially a 'nude' event, as a form of radical self-expression and body positivity, nudity tends to be common at most BurningšŸ”„Man events. It is certainly not mandatory, but is welcomed.  You'll oven see fully naked bodies with clothed, and partially clothed bodies as well.  It is common to see naked people of all ages, genders and races together, hanging out, partying, dancing or biking through the desert.  


Sexual activity, at least in the open, is 'officially' discouraged.  This is due  to both the laws and community standards.  Maybe most of all it's discouraged because despite the 'feel of freedom', most attendees, (as you can tell from these shots) bring their cell phones along.  Although sexual activity may not be common in open spaces, there certainly seem to be plenty of men casually standing around with free and fierce erections.
