Advance Notice Of Great Stupidity

23rd May 2025 19:41

After many delays the Online Safety Bill in the UK is finally coming into effect on July 25th. This really is the triumph of the "Will nobody think of the children" and "Something must be done" school of government policy, and will do absolutely no good at all.

I have set up a "Safe For Work" public version of the site, and if you are in the UK that is what you will see. You can see it Here. The members area is still the real thing, as to access that you have to pay ccBill and they do age verification using your credit card account. I will actually be in Peru when all this happens, so I will put it up a few days early.

Hopefully it will get stopped again just before going live (as it did before), or it will collapse in a heap shortly afterwards. Seriously, I can't access my own websites on my phone as my phone network has decided I'm under 18. The same thing could be done on home Wifi, with a password protected lock for adults to use. I don't want under age people to see my site either! I just want a meaningful way to deal with it.

Migration Nightmare

4th May 2025 17:50

And then my faithful old laptop died... However well you have everything backed up (and my backups are VERY good), it's still a nightmare to migrate to a new machine in a hurry. I'm almost there now. The only remaining serious issue is that the new version of the video editing software I use is rather flakey on the stabilisation. I'm not sure what to do about that, as I can't install the old version! This hobby of mine is far too much like hard work at the moment :( Hopefully in a few days I will be back to my normal rhythm.

Update 22nd May 18:22 ... And then the new laptop died! That was a lot of hassle, but it is all fixed now and I have managed to install the old version of the video software so we're all good!

Things Stabilising Slowly

17th April 2025 17:14

I'm home, for a while. When people ask me how things are going, I say they aren't getting better but that have at least stabilised. My guess is that, over the next year or two, I will be spending a lot of time in the USA. Instead of doing my regular 2 or 3 shoots a month, there will be long gaps and then I'll be doing a whole bunch of shoots togther. Don't worry - there is plenty of material! Odd extra things, like blog postings, might be taking a back seat though. Anyway, here's some more of the delightful Cadef :)

Retirement

12th February 2025 08:59

Yup, I'm in Peru. I'm spending most of my time on the phone sorting out issues in the UK & USA, but there you go! I have done a couple of shoots, and will do a couple more. Yesterday I shot the wonderful Kim D'Noir, and afterwards she told be that she is retiring from modelling. She will be a loss, absolutely one of the best! At least I have a lot of material, probably at least 3 years worth :)

Medical Update

13th January 2025 06:41

Things have stabilized. I will be home for a few days, and will do part of the trip to Peru :) However, I will be in the US for most of the next few months, so there won't be much shooting. The sites are now scheduled up to the end of June, and there is plenty of material waiting!

Major Medical Emergency

14th December 2024 06:03

We've had a major medical emergency in the family, and I have had to come to the US at a moment's notice. I will be here for the foreseeable future. All shoots cancelled, and I may not get to Peru either. I will keep publishing the updates (everything is scheduled up to the end of March), and keep an eye on things. Apart from that the sites will have to take a back seat for a while.

Fuck Off Leon

30th November 2024 17:42

I've had enough of X, I'm joining the Xodus. Just too much fascism, especially for someone who is woke and proud of it. I wiped my personal account a while ago, I will keep @artcoreck for a while as I do get some DMs there. I will only post on it in an emergency.

So... I'm on BlueSky, with the same name! Only one post at the moment, as I am trying to understand how the moderation works. Sadly, I can't find a "follow button" like X, so you'll have to do it yourself. I'm @artcoreck.bsky.social

How Rude Can We Be?

10th November 2024 15:06

OK. This isn't the place for explicit material, even with models who we all know do the rudies. The reason, which I have explained elsewhere in the blog, is that I have shot quite a few models who are happy to be on a nude site, but not on an adult one - so we get more models! The definition of what I publish here is a little vague - I like to have rules and I like to break them! It is more or less the old style "playboy" nudes, ie not open leg, but I do have some open leg pics if they are part of the set but there are only a few of them :) After all, a few bits which are naughtier than they should be are more exciting!

Ten Tomorrow

31st October 2024 18:40

I can't do the birthday post on the day this year as I am travelling all day tomorrow - I'm going to a show in La Louviere in Belgium for the weekend :) Anyway, 10 years! I can't believe it. If you have been around for a lot of the time (and I know some of you have, thanks!) then you probably can't either. I have more material than ever awaiting publication, so as long as I don't get hit by a bus or something we will be going on for years, even if I don't pick up a camera again - and that is unlikely :)

First Time Ever

22nd September 2024 10:39

I was doing a big workshop in Brno, with 5 different models. I had been given this girl's real name (obviously I won't put that here), and happily shot her over 3 days. At the end we did the paperwork, and she called herself "Juicy Mermaid". Last night I was going through all the photos of the models' ids, and this one looked a bit familiar. I went through my records, and found I had shot her as Aika May 8 years ago! I wonder if she had recognised me and thought I was a complete idiot! In my defense, she now has a lot more tattoos, bigger boobs, and has had a mole on her face removed... It can be surprisingly difficult to recognise models after a few years, but I never thought I could do a complete shoot and not realise I had shot the girl before!

That Was A Day

21st August 2024 07:58

It started with a blast down my favourite road, the A31 from the Hog's Back down to Winchester. Then a couple of hours wandering around Hinton Ampner with a really good lunch. Then a long shoot with the gorgeous Suki Star and her handsome boyfriend Zack. Then the blast back up the A31. And finally, a cheese sandwich with some amazing Mango & Ginger National Trust pickle. I leave it to you, dear reader, to decide which was the best part :)

A Lot More Travel

18th July 2024 12:06

After 3 weeks in Spain with Amelia, where we did 4 shoots with other models but not as much solo stuff as I expected, I have been in Belgrade for a week (I was at home for 3 days!) for 3 more shoots. The D drive on my laptop is now full! I have 2 weeks at home to clear some space before I am on the road again...

Here's some Barbie Ghoul, an american girl living in Barcelona

Price Increase

1st July 2024 07:55

I have just implemented the price increase I mentioned a few weeks ago. As I stated then, it is because of the 90% increase in my largest cost for running the site, the flat rate credit card fee I have to pay. Blame the credit card companies! Anyway, the prices have gone up by around 10%. Ongoing recurring memberships should be unaffected.

Serious Weekends

11th June 2024 14:10

That was busy! The show in Athens last weekend, 3 nights at home, and then the show in Mons. I think my days of standing in a crowd for 12 hours taking pictures are behind me - I can only do about 4 hours a day now! Also, to be honest, the budgets at a lot of the shows are less now, and the paid porn sets aren't as good. I remember in 2015 at Mons when they had Carla Cox & Lena Love, and Lauren Crist & Victoria Sweet doing superb hard G/G every hour, and each one cost 10 euros. That was serious quality! This time the porn shows at Athens were reasonable, but I went to one porn show at Mons, and it was rubbish. To be fair the public shows were OK. Oh well... I will go to fewer shows. Next up, Venus Berlin!

After all that I'm off to Spain for 3 weeks with Amelia Rose this weekend. We have 4 models already booked :)

Forgot Password?

5th May 2024 16:51

After nearly 10 years, a member just pointed out that there is no link to reset your password if you've forgotten it. Actually, he wasn't quite right, there is a link to do that but it's inside the member's area, so not a lot of use! Always willing to fix anything, I have added a "forgot password" link to the bottom of the front page :)

Travel Advisory

27th April 2024 10:24

I'm off to the USA for a while. Family business mostly, some sport to watch, and a big shoot in L.A.

As usual, updates at funny times, etc :)
