If one PP is good, two is better

I've been toying with the idea of putting up some man on man loving pictures for a while, but wasn't sure how it would be received. I'm hoping you all appreciate the beauty of these men times two. Happy Friday all!









This last one totally makes me think of Jasper and Edward. Anyone else?

We will never forget ...

9/11 has become a day that the few in the world do not instantly recognize the significance of. Here in the US the day is hard for many of us and moments of silence and tributes take place across the country throughout the day. There are few who cannot tell you exactly where they were at time the attacks took place and what they were doing. We turned on radios and televisions and scoured the internet for any information we could find to make sense of the horrible tragedy that was taking place. Calls were made to loved ones and panic set in when cell towers and long distance lines became over loaded and calls simply couldn't be connected.

I relive this day many times a year when I recall the loss of people I knew who simply never reappeared and on this day more than any other I fight to remember the loved ones we lost and the men and women who fight daily to defend the freedoms that I and so many others sometimes take for granted.

So many people rushed to help that day - firemen, paramedics, police officers, even average civilians came forward to do whatever they could. I was halfway across the country and felt desparate to do anything I could so gave blood and volunteered to help man blood drives.

I thought a lot today about who I wanted to feature in this week's PP udate. Ultimately I decided on the military men (there are women as well, but this is PP) who stand up every day so that I can sleep at night without fear. Each of the pictures presented here is a US soldier in one of the military branches. I respect them even more than I can ever possibly put into words.

God Bless of the members of the US Military whether active or reserve for having the courage and committment to serve and offer to stand for what the United States of America was founded on - freedom.

We will never forget.

It's a Labor of Love

For many of us, this is Labor Day weekend. We have three days to enjoy the end of summer before another long, laborious fall of work and school sets in. To fully enjoy the last hot days of the summer sun many of us head out to the beaches and lakes, or hang out near our pools and enjoy BBQs and time with family.

Well, I don't have any kids so when I get a long weekend all to myself my first thoughts turn to which of my beautiful men I'm going to enjoy filling my time with.

I called up some of my guys and told them I was looking to have a little swim party and BBQ at the family house down on the Texas coast. Luckily for me, and therefore you :), several of them were free and met me at the house, swimsuits on and ready to relax and enjoy some time together. Here are a few candid shots from our little party. I hope you enjoy!

Andrew was the first to show up, bright and early so he could soak up as much of the sun's rays as possible. Look at that smile - warms my heart even more than the sun does my skin.

Now Doug here has always been the playful type. He was a boy scout, but we still can't seem to convince him that the oar belongs in the boat. And he wonders why we just float in random circles?

It was a really hot day outside and I asked the boys if one of them would be willing to do my back with sunscreen so I didn't burn. There was a tense moment shortly after that while Travis, Joshua and Evan decided who was going to help me. That was a no brainer ... all of them!


I love how spirited all my guys are, but poor Ben was a little miffed when someone snagged his swimsuit before he could even get it on. He made due with the swim ring, but I eventually convinced him it wasn't necessary. This is private property after all, and I certainly wasn't going to turn him in.

The Texas sun takes some getting used to, and Tristian, being a native of the cooler climates up North wasn't quite prepared for a whole day in the 100+ degree F temperatures. We kept him hydrated and he eventually followed Ben's unwitting lead and lost what little bit of clothing he had on in an effort to cool himself. I eventually had to take him inside and wipe him down with cool rags. Oh the things I'll do for my friends...

At the end of the day we had all shed our suits for the most part and were just enjoying the last few warm rays as the sun set. I wandered out to let everyone know we were setting up the blender and getting ready to continue the festivities right on into the evening and night and found Jason in the shallows admiring the setting sun. As much as I love a good sunset I love this view even more.

The Best Way to a Woman's Bed ...

... cook for her of course! I have to give credit to the idea for this Friday's PP undate to our very own WMH. I panicked a bit when I realized my week had flown by and it was Friday, and I had nothing to post for PP. I tweeted for requests and she was wonderful enough to send me this suggestion (your other suggestion bb ... totally next week's - I promise).

It's not nearly as easy to find pics of half dressed men cooking as you'd think it might be. Not even at a BBQ pit!

I believe I've found a few that are worth the time to gaze upon. I hope you'll agree!

Now if I walked in and this sight was what greeted me, I'd be starving, but he'd have to cook the food later!



Everybody knows that stir fry is good for you, right? I'd devour that entire bowl and probably the bowl itself to get to what's behind it.



I'm not a fan of green foods usually, but if he told me I had to eat all my veggies to get his dessert, I'd ask for seconds!



Not to forget my meat and potato lovers ... here's one for you! He didn't want to grill because the open flames were a little worrisome but he assures me his meat is tender and melts in your mouth.



Finally we get to my favorite part of any meal ... dessert! That batter looks delicious. Can I lick the bowl?

An Angel to Watch Over Me

Hi my lovelies! I'm back in my home safe and sound. Sorry about the delay in posting this week, but last week's post from the hotel was such a nightmare that I decided to wait and do this week's once I was home again.

I've been reading Price of Balance by Averysubtlegift and was looking at her avi on the Twilighted thread for her story, and decided I wanted to do this week's posting on angels.

Now I don't know about you, but I'd be happy to have any of these beauties watch over me while I sleep.

Missing Texas

I never thought I'd be almost a 1,000 miles from home in a luxury hotel and say that I want to go home, but I totally do.

Most you know the the drama I've been having with my stay here in Memphis so I won't rehash it. Suffice it to say I'm a little homesick right now. So what better way to make myself, and hopefully all of you, smile on a Friday? Why cowboys of course! And unlike the Cowboys game last night, these boys won't disappoint!!

Mark me baby ...

Welcome to Friday lovelies! I can get away with saying that because Mandy's already celebrating the beginning of the weekend.

Now I don't know how everyone else feels about it, but I love body art, especially on a beautiful man. I absolutely adore well done ink. Give me a sculpted chest and I'm a happy girl, but put some ink on it and my I'm licking my screen or the ink itself if I can. :)

Now anyone who's spent some time on the threads knows that Ben Godfrey has taken over the minds and libidos of most of the women on Twilighted. His tats absolutely own me ...



I love large pieces ... the way this one wraps around his torso makes me want to explore ...



There are several beautiful pieces on this gorgeous canvas. Anyone wanna bet there are more below the waistline?



Ben is just so amazing don't you think? Here are the ones on his legs, and believe it or not there are still more that you haven't even seen. I'm holding those pics for myself for a little while longer, but I'll share eventually. Maybe ...



And you all know me well enough to know that I cannot grab pics of these gorgeous specimens without getting them to pose at least once with me. I totes <3 the way this one turned out ...
