Nettie Harris by Renato Ramos Jr.

18th August 2014 | Alice Taylor

Having almost completed the printing of Issue One of The Quite Delightful Project, I admit to being mildly obsessed with the model Nettie Harris.

…she’s in Quite Frankly, both photographed by George Pitts and in a candid and revealing interview, and also features in a fine art photographic monograph of photography by Mikey McMichaels which will be launched at the same time.

Here’s Nettie looking entirely natural – just as she always does – – photographed by Renato Ramos Jr.

My Parents Had A Party

14th August 2014 | Alice Taylor

This article is by Amanda Dandeneau for the ever entertaining Vice Magazine.

“Last summer, my parents decided to throw a party to celebrate life. I wasn’t quite sure what my mom had planned other than an entertaining night with good food and company. As I entered my parents’ house that evening, I was greeted by a little person my mom had hired from an adult entertainment agency. He was dressed as a cop and demanded that each arriving and unsuspecting guest show his or her ID… or else.
OK, a little weird, but nothing too extreme. As the party continued, two of the cocktail waitresses and one of the male servers started taking off their clothing, and suddenly they were naked and the lap dances and the tequila ice-luge/body-shot demonstrations began. At first, many of their guests were unsure of how to react to the nakedness around them. I, for one, was amused and a bit surprised to see adults whom I have known my entire life getting smothered in breasts and bathed in booze at my parents’ house.
As the night progressed, two additional strippers arrived to perform for the guests, and the little person quickly stripped down to join in the show. Slowly and surely, more and more guests began to loosen up and really experience the celebration of zany fun that my mom had planned from the start. The hours went by fast; everyone was merrily drunk, including the dog sitter. After a long night of hard partying, the talent was paid, the guests sent off with coffee, and we all went to bed. The next morning may have been even more fun as we conducted the post-party critique, with mom wearing the little person’s uniform, which he had somehow forgoten to take home that night. “

Cole Magazine & Zoi

In preparing to launch a new (luxury erotic) magazine myself, I am always keen to see what others are doing to promote or announce the launch of their own publications.

Here, Stefano Brunesci brings us a black and white film to promote the launch issue of Cole Magazine of model Zoi Gorman posing playfully – and sensually – in black and white.

Dsquared2 Underwear | Steven Klein

18th June 2014 | Katherine Jane

It’s not so much that this blog is biased towards stunning fashion images of female models – well it is, but by default – it’s just that there are so few genuinely great arresting images of guys doing the rounds.

So, imagine my excitement, when I saw these images of models Travis Hanson & Rich Stinger for Dsquared2 Underwear’s 2014 campaign photographed by Steven Klein.

Ren Hang

31st May 2014 | Katherine Jane

One of the highlights of the launch issue of The Quite Delightful Project’s erotic magazine is the photography of Shanghai artist Ren Hang.

This though is just an amusing animated GIF of one of his images.

It perfectly captures the humour in his work though.
