Kilted

Warning, if you're not into hot men in kilts, ignore this post.  If on the other hand, you're a fan of tartan and wool against a bare man's skin, there's a palooza of plaid awaiting you on PAGE 2 HERE:

Kilt Day: Potpourri

A few extra images that although didn't fit into a theme, I didn't want to exclude. 

Kilted: A Cool breeze

'Better caught with your kilt up, than your pants down....'

Wind is not the friend of men in kilts, but an unexpected gust is welcomed by those with their camera' handy.  Most of these flashes were done with planning an intent, and not due to an erotic act of nature.  For most of these guys, the flash was a  big part of the exhibitionist piece of putting on the plaid.

Kilted: Let the Games Begin

Some of the best images of men of kilts come from The Highland or Scottish Games. Scotland's not the only country to celebrate the yearly event, other countries, with large Scottish populations also celebrate Celtic culture with piping, drumming, dancing and of course the various sporting events.

The sporting events focus on specific athletic skills with an emphasis on strength. The competitions, especially known as the heavy events, include the hammer throw, lifting, shot put and of course the tug-o-war provided endless opportunities for kilts to fly up and misbehave. The shots are especially great as although the participants are surely aware of the flashing possibilities, most of the exposure is unintentional, and occurs while the kilt wearer is concentrating on their event.

The Cow As White As Milk

I Wish...

Hirschfeld

You wish to have

The curse reversed?

I'll need a certain

Potion first.

Go to the woods and bring me back

One: the cow as white as milk,

Two: the cape as red as blood,

Three: the hair as yellow as corn,

Four: the slipper as pure as gold

Bring me these

Before the chime

Of midnight,

In three day's time,

And you shall have,

I guarantee,

A child as perfect

As child can be.

Go to the wood!

It was this revelation by the witch that sent the Baker into those woods. It was those lyrics, which I heard first from Bernadette Peters, that had me searching for the four items, FH style. 1, the cape fell into my lap. 2, with the help of Mark Grantham, Mike Tossy and DAVISICON were easy to obtain. The last object, the cow as white as milk proved more difficult. I thought of asking some of the artist's I have featured, especially those who often shoot out side if any of them had any images of a model with a cow. Then, I looked at that question actually written down and decided it too weird, even for me.

I came up with an alternative for the cow and the other contributors were not aware of what I was working on, only the color, or object I asked for help with. Here are those four objects in my tribute to Into The Woods, FH style of course!

The cow as white as milk,

The cape as red as blood,

The hair as yellow as corn,

The slipper as pure as gold...

White: Ryan Reynolds in Buying The Cow

'Into the woods to sell a friend...'

Trying to find a photo shoot featuring a hot male model posing with a cow proved an impossible task. Not that google searching hot men with cows didn't turn up some interesting results..

I think these shots of Ryan Reynolds, and his rather milky white behind are a nice substitution. From the 2002 film, Buying The Cow, there is also a bit of connection (stretched I will admit) of Ryan sort of looking like he is descending down a tower, a brick one in this case, via Rapunzel's beautiful long hair.

The Cape As Red As Blood

The light is good,

It was my interview (Matt's Back) with Matt Eldracher last month that really began to pull today's posts together. I had the idea a couple of years ago to do an Into The Woods Theme day, focusing on the 4 items the Baker and his Wife had to obtain. I saved a couple of images, but ultimately found nothing to inspire continuing at that time.

Then, when Matt sent on his images from Carlaw Studios, there it was, the cape as red as blood. A beautiful red which looked even that much more beauteous laying against Matt's skin. I asked Matt if I could leave the cape shots out of the piece and do something separately down the road and he gave his full support. With the cape found, I was then left to find the cow, the hair and the slippers.
