Aussiebums

These nylon cozzies from an Ozzie manufacturer are great. Quick drying, comfy and sexy. And no, they haven't paid me to say this!

Blue Aussiebum Cozzie

I'll do another episode of Majorca Flats tomorrow. Meanwhile, I share with you this image of the Aussiebum model (don't know his name) in a blue nylon Aussiebum cozzie.

Isn't he the cat's pyjamas?

Boardies vs Budgies

A perennial Ozzie debate, in another article from The Age.  


Some quotes from the piece:

Halle Berry's infamous swimsuit scene in Die Another Day sent jaws to the floor, but what was more surprising was the equal amount of attention paid to Daniel Craig when he strutted his buff stuff in a pair of tight, blue trunks in Casino Royale.
Referred to as a “Euro swimsuit” by those of us living outside of the perennially frisky and fun EU, men and women around the globe were in a tizz about just how well he managed to squeeze his fine form into but a cough of nylon and spandex. Most impressive, he helped make the boardie and budgie smuggler hybrid stylish again.

and

Then we have boardies. Longer styles are also a popular choice, but make sure they sit above the knee and aren't too boxy unless you want people thinking your mum picked them out for you.

and 

One of the only upsides to our nation's crippling propensity towards developing skin cancer is that T-shirts are an acceptable and complimentary addition to this look. A blessing in disguise for those wanting to conceal the chunk.

and 

Design-wise, board shorts emblazoned with the Australian flag are standard issue for English backpackers but give off a certain bogan vibe when worn by residents. National pride is one thing but thanks to the Cronulla riots the image has now been coopted by a xenophobic contingent who've ruined it for everyone else. So, either sport it with a horrific sunburn and British passport in hand, or have courage in what will most likely be perceived as your racist convictions.

Thanks the the article I discovered two unknown (to me) Ozzie swimwear manufacturers:  Mahjii and Tribe.

Holy smackeroos!  This guy is hot.

Sigh.

Aussie Speedo Guy

This is a blog I read every once in a while. It's written by a fellow bisexual Ozzie, though he seems to be much more of a jetsetter and far more glamorous than I am!

He, like me, shares a fascination for what are called Speedos (whichever manufacturer makes them.) There's something about the thin layer between you and the world, about the hinting and concealment, about the key parts of the body hidden by those small scraps of fabric that make them very sexy. Proving I suppose that the biggest sex organ is the mind.

The pic of the nude guy shooting..... champagne! .... is from his blog, as is the guy in his 'speedo' (actually an AussieBum, I think) playing cricket. This bloke has to be Ozzie -- in England the weather's too bad to play cricket wearing just a pair of swim briefs, in America they don't play cricket and are in any case squeamish about short bathers, and in South Africa, cricket is no longer the popular sport it was. And anyway, I can see the Norfolk Island Pines in the background.


Just though I'd give you the head's up on his site. He's done me some favours in the past.

[Update:  The bullying Speedo corporation has forced Dave Evans to close down his Aussie Speedo Guy blog and website.  You can still find it here, though]
