Steve: I’m totally into this on four different levels, at least. First of all I think it’s phenomenal that Pandit was able to purchase all of the upholstery for his entire home from one massive bolt of fabric. The coordination we’re experiencing in this highly decorative interior is owing to that alone.
But the little details are what make this come together; things you don’t notice at first, like the tiny whimsical birdhouse behind our lover’s shoulder. Note how it has sprouted limbs and is frolicking about as if to say, “I’m here to ensure that every detail of your intercourse is going to be joyful and uplifting.”
Should we need intercession to our Lord, The Blessed Virgin Mary is present in the form of a comforting plaster figurine. In terms of Hell’s fury, there is no safer sex, my friends.
Also, I know some people are going to object to the bunny dolls on the sofa, but that’s because they’ve never had the pleasure of kinky sex with an nicely oiled gym adonis atop a pile of hand-sewn decorative rabbit plush. Let me just tell you that it’s something you’re going to want to do again and again.
There is nothing here to indicate that the sex will be anything other than a 100% fantastic experience. I’m going to recommend that you bring along a Polaroid, because this is the kind of thing you’re going to want to share with people.

one of these things is not like the others! one of these things just doesn’t belong!
I gotta be the killjoy and call “Photoshop” on this one.
Still, love you guys. Keep up the good work.
There’s no Photoshop from us, certainly, and I think the lighting and edges are too believable to say that anyone else composited this either. As your resident Photoshop expert, I’m giving this my seal of approval.
Note that the light hitting the body and the light hitting the table cloth behind the body are coming from the same direction, sweetie.
My intuitive reaction is to call “Photoshop” as well. The whole thing just feels off. The the model’s perspective and location in the frame don’t seem like they really line up with the background.
He seems to be floating in space a little, like he’d have to be standing on a small box. There’s also something not right about the depth of field. He seems like he’s in an entirely separate layer of focus than the background–like the flat overlapping layers of a Japanese print. I’m not sure a point-and-click camera could produce this effect.
The lighting seems off, too. Yes, superficially the highlights and shadows on his body seem to correspond to those we see on that cupcake of a coffee table, but the model seems to have been light with some pretty intense, clean studio lighting, while the room bears the strong presence of warm incandescents. Plus, it seems that for a light to cast such strong shadows on the table in the direction shown, that light source would have to be entirely BEHIND the model. He should be noticeably backlit.
Overall, it just looks like what you’d get if you cut a picture out of a magazine and pasted it over a photograph of grandma’s living room.
I relent, but my own belief is in the transition of the wisps of hair over the curtains, and the uniform lossiness of the image, which admittedly is possible at the hands of someone who knows what they’re doing and wants to thoroughly fake something up… but seriously, is someone going to go to all that trouble just to submit to this site?
OK, so forget if the model is physically in that room or not, this is indeed “somebody’s” room and that’s scary enough for me. The decor looks a little too “Lillian Vernon Boutique” to actually be in a home, no? There’s no place to actually sit, and who puts a round table in the middle of the room covered with gingerbread houses, and those coordinated pillows under the Virgin Mary shrine, what are they for? Unless they’re pulled out for kneeling purposes, whatever THAT may entail! As for Pandit, note the Gold’s gym item draped around his hips: it’s either a weight belt or a sash proclaiming him “Miss Congenialty of the 8AM spinning class”!
My reaction was based on the severe incongruity of the image – and because that guy is an often-photographed model (I’d seen him in an old issue of Mandate; his name is Niko Reeves). Not to mention the Gold’s Gym belt – why bother with this little piece of fantasy costume if you’re going to pose in Aunt Martha’s parlor? Why not use her bathroom instead? Who knows – maybe the wire baskets overflowing with colored balls of soap altered the whole “post-workout” effect in just the wrong way.
Oh god; you’ve really seen him somewhere else? I’m coming over to your side of the argument if that’s true.
Yeah, but I can’t find any pics of him on the internets (he’s apparently done wrestling videos for BG). I’d scan images from my issue of Mandate (Nov 02) if I was feeling really spunky. But I’m not.
not photoshop… i sent this in. its real; its scary and its hippy hoppity… and its on a men for men web site… thats even more scary..
[...] For more inspiration see this prior example. [...]
What I’m lovin about this is that he actually removed the flowered cushions from the sofa and placed them on the Floor to make room for his Easter Bunnies!
I think I may have visited this site when it Belgium a few years ago. I believe it is the Shrine of the Immaculate Hummel Bunnies. Tradition has it that once a year all these little creatures come to life and rearrange themselves much to the delight of those who make their pilgrimage to see them in their new hypnotic design.

Has anyone seen the Filipino movie “Midnight Dancers?”
This guy is right out of it!
