Thirst Traps For Beginners

If you don't know who Caleb Burton is, join the club.  He is one of those completely unremarkable-seeming boys that somehow comes out of nowhere and makes a respectable splash in social media.  In this case the 17-year-old's growing cachet seems to be rooted in the fact that he is friends with mega-successful 19-year-old "influencer" (ugh) Brent Rivera, who had eight million Vine subscribers, and now has over five million Instagram followers and nearly three million Youtube subscribers. Caleb's numbers aren't nearly as impressive, but he has about a hundred and sixty-three thousand more Instagram followers than I do, and that ain't nothing.  In Brett's Instagram videos, Caleb seems gangly, and goofy-cute, not what I'd call sexy,  but he seems to have learned an important lesson from Brett: It's good to be funny, but if you really want to rope in the subscribers you have to steam it up on occasion.  If that means being photographed in the shower (in your underwear, because don't everyone?) so be it. 

If you want to know how Brent does it, see below. Oh, guess what? Same shower.  

Independence

Happy 4th of July to those who celebrate, and even to those who don't .  To be honest, I don't think there's anything particularly patriotic about wrapping yourself in an American flag (patriotism being the most misused word in the English language) but sometimes the cutest boys do it.

Meet Oliver

I've been telling all my friends, and I think you should know, that this fellow, 17-year-old Oliver Sonne from Denmark, is about to be my new obsession. He has just signed at the whimsically named London agency The Unsigned Group, and hasn't had any real jobs yet, but it's only a matter of time. Before he was a model he starred as a 15-year-old soccer player in a Danish TV series, so maybe we'll even get to see him as an actor someday.

 

Beach Boy

Summer is in full swing and that means that all the Instaboys are headed to the beach. Woo hoo! Here are some recent photos of  Instagram cutey Sebastian Doyle,  who lives in Australia, where it is the beginning of Winter. Go figure. 

 

Birthday Boy

My beloved Andrei Dobrin celebrated his 17th birthday this week and ws photographed  by Attilio Cusani for Fucking Young! Magazine. I imagine that Andrei is too skinny for some people's tastes, but to me he's perfectly lovely.

Work Of Art

If Michelangelo's sculpture of David were to suddenly spring to life, put on some pants, and sit down on a chair, I imagine he would look exactly like this.

Asian Boys In Speedos

 

When I encountered this image on Tumblr it was captioned simply "Asian boys in Speedos." Can't beat that for conciseness. 

I'd Rather Be Sailing

And this fellow can be my first mate.

The Long Lost Zombie Sunday Roundup

It happens occasionally that for some reason or other I start working on a post and for one reason or another I abandon it or lose track of it, or simply forget about it for one reason or another. The other day I was sorting through my discarded drafts and discovered not one, but two abandoned Sunday Roundup posts. So here they are, Frankensteined together, and risen from the dead. A few familiar faces show up. As Sunday Roundups go, it's on the small side, but I hope you can enjoy it anyway.

More after the break.

Another Ancient Hottie

The last time I dared post about a long-dead hottie I was taken to task from some quarters for wasting people's time on someone who they would not be able to fuck right this minute. While I understand their frustration (not really) I can't help thinking that if I were to limit the pictures on this blog to pictures of boys I might actually be able to have, this would be a very quiet site indeed. 

So who do we have here?  This is Glen Halik, who in the first decades of the 20th Century traveled around America with his sisters Lois and Elsa giving recitals of music and dramatic readings. What kind of effect must he  have had on the young girls (and boys) who saw him play in church halls and Chautauqua tents in those days before radio and television? I can only imagine that it was devastating.

Glen would go on to a long career as a teacher, not just of the violin, but engineering drawing, surveying and descriptive geometry. He was also concertmaster of the Traverse City, Michigan, Symphony Orchestra for many years. He lived to be 95 years old.

 

More Gavin

One hates to post a second post devoted to Gavin Casalegno within a week, but my goodness, with photos like this (by Maxwell Poth) how can one not?

Random Shirtless Guy

Just a little something to let you know that I'm still alive.

Looks Like Summer

Gavin Casalegno kicks off summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Keep up the good work, Gavin. We expect more of the same.

The Return Of The Beauty Hunter

How many times will the bumbling dunderheads who run Blogger swoop in and destroy DeeJohn's beautiful blogs?  I ask because this is at least the second time that I've had to announce a new location for one of his blogs, and while I'm glad to do it, I am getting a bit peeved at Blogger. To be honest, being peeved at Blogger seems to be a constant state of affairs these days. 

But back to the matter at hand. The Beauty Hunter has risen from the dead, reborn as Chrysalism. There you will find exactly the kind of beauty you are used to seeing on Dee's sites. Not only young male pulchritude, but other lovely things as well. Go there.
