I couldn’t be happier, the heat broke, we got some rain. Now if the rest the summer stays like this, I’ll be happy. Last week it was so hot here, I literally left the office and jumped in the lake, staying there till sundown.

We still have lots of summer time to enjoy here in Chicago, Market Days weekend is coming up fast and that means thousands of men hitting town to party and play. Come on I’m ready.

This weekend I have the men of MAFIA at Touché on Friday for their Club Night. You can bet that a bunch of guys looking for a hand up their ass will make for one festive night. Like those milk ads – Got Lube?

Even more fun is our Bear Night on Saturday with the Great Lakes Bears. Touché is home to the GLB and was the first bar to welcome the “big ‘n hairy” boys. Our monthly Bear Night is still the biggest and wildest bear party in town and with a hot summer, the shirts are off. I always enjoy the view and the aroma of sweaty fur.

Now if you are planning to visit Chicago the following weekend for Market Days, you got to put 2 things on your “must do” list. One stop down here in Old Town and visit the Bijou Theater. It’s open 24/7 so you can stop by anytime, before or after the street fest. There will be plenty of men in the house looking for something to do. How letting then do you?

Plus you can check out the 1,000s of titles we offer on DVD and VHS to add to your collection.

The other thing you must do is come on up to Touché for a bit of our wild and crazy parties. That Saturday night we host a vacuum pump demo and are always looking for volunteers to pump up. Try it for yourself or come see what the results are like. Maybe I’ll share some pictures…….

Okay gotta run, lots to do around here. You have been keeping me busy with orders. But before I go, I have one very juicy bit of news to share with you. They usually don’t give me a heads up on new DVD titles, like I can’t keep a secret. But there has been one film that I have received tons and tons of requests for over the years.

Well, I just caught a glimpse of a new DVD cover when I picked up some papers at the printer here in Bijou World. So that means the restoration crew must about have this one ready for production. And I am surprised too, cause this is one of our old classic FILMS (not a video) that I know was taking them some time to restore and remaster.

Alright, I’ll spill it. I’m talking about the 1975 Hand In Hand classic BOY-NAPPED, fully restored with all the original footage (when it came out on VHS years ago it was edited) Excited? I am and I know lots of your will be too, as you have asked again and again for this one.

It’s not quite ready yet, but soon guys. Tell you what, check out my P(r)ick Tough Guys, this one has also just been restored with additional footage. I’ll make sure you know when Boy-Napped is available.

Keep your summer hot!

It was a wild and wacky weekend at Touché when we hosted the Mr Midwest Rubber 2012 Contest. There were three hot rubbermen competing for the title, one from Chicago, another from Iowa (yes there’s more than corn in Iowa) and the third from Kentucky. Kentucky may seem even further from the kink stream, but if you have ever driven through Kentucky? You should notice the gene pool there has produced some incredibly attractive men. There’s bound to be some rubber perverts there, too.

We had the current Mr International Rubber 2012 Sly Hands come over from Manchester, England to help pick the winner this year. Joining him at the judges table were the first Mr Midwest Rubber, Dan-The-Rubbermen, Mr Chicago Leather 2012,Angel Velez, Tynan Fox, Mr Cockpit Minneapolis 2010 and Mr Midwest Rubber 2011, Pleep. When the dust settled from the competition (more like when the ooze stopped, I’ll tell you later), they pick the rubber stud from Kentucky, Collin as our new Mr Midwest Rubber 2012. Collin will go on to compete for the title of Mr International Rubber in November herein Chicago.

The contest was hosted by Rubberwilli who was himself Mr International Rubber in 2003. After a "spirited" blessing by the Abby of the Windy City Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Rubberwilli put the contestants through the usual routine of image, Q&A, and jockstrap judging. The fun and messy part came when it was time to judge the "mystery bag".

At this point each contestant was allowed to select a bag containing an assortment of items picked up from a dollar store. They then had to make use of these items in a scene with a willing bottom volunteer. Along with an assortment of garden decorations, pool toys and household items (think plungers, brushes & kid’s stuff) each bag contained some kind of food item like chocolate syrup, pudding, mustard and even tarter sauce. Needless to say it did not remain on just the bottom, nor on the stage! Talk about pigs wallowing in shit.

The Chicago Den has a full report on their website along with some photos. I hope to get our Touché site updated later day or Wednesday as well. The weekend ran on into Sunday and just wiped me out yesterday.

While all this was going on at Touché, the Bijou Theater was rockin’ on Saturday night as well. Our Bijou Boys packed the house with another big show. We had a couple of new boys on stage that were a BIG hit if you know what I mean. These guys go the full monty and it was FULL. The crowd ate it up and partied it up. You just have to get your ass down here for their next show in August and see it for yourself. The Bijou Boys Nude Review is always on the third Saturday of each month and is worth the trip. not only do they put on a great show, but the crowd is huge and that means plenty of action before and after the show.

It seems the rest of you that were not at the contest nor the Bijou this weekend, decided to order some new DVDs from us. I crawled in yesterday to a boatload of orders, including orders for my P(r)ick from last week. You make me feel so good, knowing my P(r)ick is so popular. I stayed late just to get them all out (which i did, you’re welcome) But it seems more came in last night and I still have tons of titles to make and restock the shelves. So you take a look at my P(r)ick again this week, I’ll go get it ready just in case you want it.

Keep it hot and stay cool!

Man it is HOT! All I wanted to do is lay naked in front of the fan today. But being the good little worker bee, I put on clothes and hauled my ass into work (could it be the air conditioning at work) Once I get all your orders out today, I am plunging into Lake Michigan this evening to cool down.

I think the heat is getting to all of us, there’s not really a cool spot across the country. By the reports from Hollywood, folks are heading into local movie houses for relief and to enjoy a good movie. Luckily, we have the Bijou Theater here in Chicago to offer up more than the standard movie fare. Who needs popcorn when the guy next to you has a big ol’ sausage that he’s willing to share? Plus we offer late night shows, morning matinees, the theater never closes, so you always have a cool spot to chill out.

It was hot up at Touché last weekend as well. We had a good size bunch for the Chicago Hellfire Club in the bar on Friday night to start the weekend. At first they just gathered with drinks and talked. But eventually the mood hit them and in no time they headed into the back room, ropes and toys in hand. Before you knew it, it was a fiesta!

Things got even hotter on Saturday when North Plains Leather Sir 2012 Chip came to town. In preparing for the upcoming International Leather Sir/boy Contest in San Francisco, Chip hosted a raffle for his travel fund. Since it was our monthly Dungeon Master Night at the bar, Chip presented a most interesting demo on fire play.

Now we have had fire play demos before, but this was something new for us. (At least for me) In previous demos, Timothy would use rubbing alcohol, swath it on a bottom and light it. A quick flame and then out. A little tricky as the alcohol will run so you have to be on guard for that, too much burns too hot, too little and it evaporates too quickly.

But Chip used an alcohol based hair styling foam. Seems there are several flammable ingredients in these foams (watch that hair iron girls) After prepping the bottom and still review safety procedures, Chip made patterns with the foam on our bottom’s back, circles, etc. Then he would light the foam.

Initially, you would see a big flash of flame. But then he would relight it again and again, this time small flames would dance along the patterns of the foam. It seems that the alcohol in the foam slowly rises out of the foam to the surface. So you could relight the pattern several times and it would move across the pattern, sometimes back again. It certainly intrigued the crowd, several volunteered to have it done to them. Good thing Chip brought along several cans of the mousse.

This coming week, I’ll be up to my neck in rubber as Touché hosts the Mr Midwest Rubber Contest. Any rubber perverts out there should head to Chicago as we have Mr International Rubber 2012 Sly Hands with us for the weekend. I’ll give the rundown next week on what happens.

Whatever you are doing to cope with this hot summer, you can always make it "festive" by grabbing my P(r)ick. Take your pick or take ‘em both. I’ll get out of the lake and get it off to you.

Stay cool, my friends.

Back on schedule this week, guys and dishing out my P(r)ick early in the week. You kept me kind of busy today with several orders, but working late to try and stay up on things. A couple of my co-workers here in Bijou World are on vacation this week, which means the rest of us are doubling up.

Been so busy working, I haven’t had much time to dig up any good news this week. Besides the extra effort here, I finally got a new cleaning guy for up at Touché. Seems our last cleaning guy at the bar just didn’t like it when I told him he was supposed to actually clean up the place. Since I was following him up and getting the dirt he couldn’t seem see, it was time for a change. So for the last couple of weeks, I have been leaving the party early to come in the mornings to mop and clean.

But we just found and hired a new guy to take on the task of keeping a busy leather bar tidy. He jumped right in and has been doing a great job. Of course I did have to explain a bit about the used condoms to be found. Only six on his first day, not a busy night but one was loaded and drippy as he put it. Some guys have all the luck.

As it is, we usually find all kind of things when we close up the bar, underwear, shirts, caps. In winter time there’s always some gloves (or a glove) and scarves. Sometimes a cell phone, I-pod or glasses. (No more pagers, times have changed) But I do wonder how people can leave the bar and leave behind their pants or shoes. We have found them after closing. The wilder the party, the more gets left to pick up.

I guess we should expect to pick up a lot again this weekend. We have the Chicago Hellfire Club hosting a bar night on Friday at Touché. They bring along lots of fun toys and show folks how to use them. Lots of hardcore action.

Then on Saturday, it’s our Dungeon Master Night where we present a demo on some S&M play. This month we have North Plains LeatherSir for 2012 Chip coming in to demonstrate fire play to the crowd. I’ll keep the fire extinguisher and marshmallows handy.

At least I should have some fun tidbits to share with you next week, along with a few smores. In the meantime, grab my P(r)ick and start a fire of your own.

Stay cool and hot!

Here it is the end of the week, I know I’m late giving you my P(r)ick. But I was just slammed with orders before the 4th of July holiday and ran out of time to get this out to you. Better late than never, they say. And I am packing a little bonus, read on.

Hopefully you had a bang up Fourth, seems the hot weather here in Chicago didn’t keep guys out of the Bijou Theater. It’s been pretty busy all week long. But with temps in the 100′s it’s always better to play indoors with the A/C than out in that sun. Of course it did not keep me or thousands of others from getting out this past week.

The weekend before the 4th, I hosted a Puppy Play Party at Touché with guys from the Chicago Puppy Patrol. We set up a spot in the back bar for “four-legged” exercise and romping, We had several pups out to play. Thank fully they were all housebroken. The International Puppy & Trainer contest is being revived this September and will be held down in Tulsa, OK. If you want to find out more about pup play and/or the contest check out their website here.

The night before the 4th, I hosted our Full Moon Party at the bar. We had a nice crowd out but no one was adventurous enough to shoot the moon for my contest that night. I can never figure out why guys will pull it out in the back room but be too shy to proudly show off their assets, even for a cash prize! Must have been a lot tourists in the house.

I mentioned the thousands out and most all of them were on the lakefront trying to beat the heat on the 4th. It was too hot to grill, I laid out an indoor picnic at the bar in the afternoon and headed to the lake for the evening. I live just a couple of blocks from the lake here in Chicago with a beach at the end of my street. There is also a breakwall that juts out into the lake, makes for a great cool spot for theses hot days.

I’m out there on the breakwall with my man and we park ourselves looking back at the shoreline that is packed with people. From here we can see the fireworks from Navy Pier and Evanston to the north. Plus the multitudes of fireworks going off along the shoreline in both directions. Now I don’t know where these guys get them, but some of the stuff going off just over our heads are pretty damn impressive. Not just Roman candles, but rockets that burst huge, multi-colored, with secondary bursts, whistles and more. There was even this trio that lit up those floating lanterns in the night sky.

The best part, the crowd. I mean this holiday is about the birth of our country. The idea that men (and women) can determine their own fate, make their own choices, and do so in a free society. I grew up celebrating this holiday and what it means in a small white bread Ohio town.

Now I live here in Chicago, surrounded by people from all over the world who came here for the same thing. To live free from repressive governments and closed societies. I was out there with whites, blacks, Mexicans and Asians. Women in sari’s, scarves, dresses, shorts and bikinis. Men with robes, khakis, or swim trunks. All of us celebrating with food, drink and going “ahh” at every blast in the sky. And no one said anything about any of the gay couples out there too. It was an amazing celebration of what the USA is supposed to be about. I hope you enjoyed a perfect holiday as well.

Now it’s on to another weekend already. The Bijou Theater continues to be a jumping place, must be because lots of folks are off this week. I have our monthly Bear Party with the Great Lakes Bears this Saturday up at Touché. I am looking forward to a good time with the guys. So if you’re not doing anything this weekend, come on out and play at either place (or both)

I mentioned a bonus in the beginning of this week’s blast. Normally I shoot out my P(r)ick of the Week selection the first of the week and send out a blog or new release offer later in the week. Besides this week’s P(r)ick, I am including another of our sale flyers.

Not just any flyer either, this one features a whole bunch of our newly released on DVD features. Just in case you missed any of them, we have put them all together and on sale. It’s one of our biggest flyers because we included a great offer on over 90 VHS titles as well. It’s another of what Patrick here calls a “Twosies” sale featuring very limited quantities of each title. So look that over and call me right away with your picks.

Okay, I still have a bunch of orders to get out before the end of today, so I am heading back to the warehouse now. If you are sitting nude in front of the fan to keep cool, why not grab my P(r)ick and do something while you are sitting there?

Stay cool and hot!
