Gay Porn Star Veladoras!

Not sure how or why we thought of this, but we were bored one day and the idea came up to turn some of our favorite gay porn stars into veladora candles!

Known as prayer candles, seven-day candles or, in Spanish, veladoras, they come in 8 1/2-inch glass jars filled with about 7 1/2 inches of paraffin and usually bear a silk screened image. They are lit in the home to accompany a specific petition to a higher authority. They were invented by the Reed Candle Factory in San Antonio, TX in the 1940s and are now there are candles for everything including winning the lottery, attracting a mate, sabotaging other people's relationships, and putting an untimely end to one's enemies.* Surely you have seen the veladora aisle in your local grocery store.

So we are lighting these candles to the higher authorities of sex in hopes of having all of our wildest fantasies come true!

Book Preview: Photographer Mark Henderson's "Lap of Luxury"

Lap of Luxury, photographer and art historian Mark Henderson's upcoming coffee table book of the male form, is exquisite. This is perhaps the most mature, well thought out collection of photographs I have had the pleasure to experience. Henderson brilliantly uses natural lighting and well appointed surroundings to capture his models in a stunning and spectacular fashion. The preview images below are but a tip of the iceberg.

Lap of Luxury is Mark Henderson's seventh coffee table book. Some of his other titles include Luminosity, Household Idols, Suburban Pleasures, and Poolside. His work has also been featured in Men: Twenty Five Years in Photography and various anthology books published by Bruno Gmünder, including Beautiful Vision, Jewels, and Brief Encounters. There are a ton more, but the list would become far too long! Mark's work also appeared regularly in Men, Freshman, and Unzipped magazines, and my images have been featured in Männer, DNA, The Male Form, Display, Romeo and lots and lots of other publications.

Lap of Luxury is due out November 1st from German publishing house Bruno Gmünder. In the US, it might be easiest to preorder a copy from Amazon. If you'd like to learn more about Mark Henderson, check out his Website!
