FRIDAY FANTASY 33

Ahhh Roberto. There are no words.....
And if there were, would they be necessary?

FASHION WEEK 4

These are from the Boateng Collection. They would look smashing at the resort.

FASHION WEEK 3

I really love these pieces from the Francis Hendy collection.

FASHION WEEK 2

Sometimes you can put a spin on an ensemble and take it from one setting to another. The first pics are transitional beachwear that could also be worn to the disco. The other two would be great as beachwear or casual wear. All are by Debonair.

FASHION WEEK

For you fashionistas who follow the scene in New York, London, Paris and Milan you will notice a difference in this weeks feature. Our Fashion Week celebrates the contributions of latins and other minority designers.


There is swimwear, casual wear and resort wear. Everything you may need for your next tropical vacation. Since we're coming out of Beach Week, let's start with a couple of pieces from Aqua Couture.

DOMINICAN BEAUTY

For the second straight year the winner of Miss Dominican Republic comes from the province of Santiago. Thursday night 22-year old Massiel Taveras was chosen and will represent the country at the 2007 Miss Universe contest.


She succeeds Mia Taveras, who also represented the central province of Santiago.

This was the 50th anniversary of the Miss DR beauty pageant. It was held at the Hotel Renaissance Jaragua in Santo Domingo.

BEACH WEEK FANTASY

It was my best friends idea. We were in Jamaica for spring break knocking back a few Red Stripes at the resort. He had heard about a nude beach in the area and suggested we go check it out. Not in the mood to see overexposed, overweight and overaged tourists ignoring all these reasons not to lie naked on the beach, I expressed my disdain.

"Oh, but it's not like that at all." He went on to tell me how one of the bartenders he'd been secretly carousing with had mentioned a secluded and little-known path adjacent to the resort that led to a small river which runs into the ocean. Only discerning clientele were informed about the location.

Hesitantly I agreed. I had been hitting the gym for months leading up to this vacation. Maybe I could finally get someone to appreciate the effort. These hard-nosed guys around the resort hadn't given me any play. Once we approached the beach I couldn't believe my eyes. What seemed like dozens of hunky Jamaican guys were splashing about in the water, lounging on the beach or having drinks at the makeshift bar. ALL NUDE!

I could not believe it. Someone walked up to us and told us we had to remove our clothes if we were going to stay. It was the bellman from the hotel! I had been working on him from the start, never getting the slightest response. Now, he gives me a smile and a nod as I disrobe, then points us to the bar. After a couple more Red Stripes and a rum punch I'm feeling wickedly seductive and set out to find the bellman. I guess he's the lifeguard also. I spot him sitting at waters edge with a whistle and a protective gaze.

I walk past him and slowly submerge myself in the river. At that very moment the world starts spinning and I feel naucious. As things go hazy I can see him running toward me.

The next thing I know I'm lying on that secluded path. He's staring down at me as I see another figure walking toward me. "Is he okay?" It was my best friend. "Ya mon, Everytings irie" the bellman said in a heavy accent. He looked back at me once more, then he was gone.

I couldn't believe what had happened. How embarrasing, how humiliating. He certainly wouldn't want a rendevous with me now! As we turned to head back to the resort something occured to me... "Robb, why does my ass hurt?"

FRIDAY FANTASY 31

There's no witty monologue or intriguing storyline to accompany this photo. The model, Ramiro, is simply beautiful and worthy of appearing here as this weeks Fantasy.

GRACIAS

I want to thank Senor Paul Gerace for contacting me regarding his beautiful photos of the Dominican Republic. The internet seems to have a way of bringing the world closer together. As the Disney Mouseketeers would sing..."it's a small world afterall."

I have featured his photos on the blog previously with no way of contacting him for permission.
As fate would have it, he came across my blog and contacted me giving me permission after-the-fact.

Many thanks to him for allowing me to share his awesome photographic glimpse into Dominican Life and culture! Be sure to visit his site, which has been added to the Links section.

As I was surfing the net I came across this gorgeous hunk of Dominican manhood. His name is Rudy Jiminian and he has some erotic photos and video clips at musclegallery.com
