UndiesDrawer readers, give me your opinion!
I've been intrigued by the feedback on the Bourbon Street Wear mens underwear photo series I've been posting. YourPrivates gave us an exclusive first look at the Bourbon Street Wear line as well as high-resolution photos from the photo shoot. I've been posting those for your viewing pleasure, but I'm intrigued by the negative comments now coming out.
Yes, they've been running for quite a while now, but each photo is unique, involves a separate underwear style and is a completely different photo. I found the photographic style unique and of high quality, and the model guy isn't ugly, just young. As such, I've been posting them for your enjoyment as well.
Some readers have responded negatively, some more strongly than others, including the most recent commenter who says he'll never again visit UndiesDrawer if we post another Bourbon Street shot. I appreciate the comments, but I want to hear more from a broader range of readers, and I want to hear from both the lovers AND the haters. YourPrivates has received lots of positive feedback, but we've received lots of negative feedback, so now I'm really curious what's going on.
One thing I was wondering even as I set up this series to post was how our UndiesDrawer readers would receive the photos. The model is in my classification a "twink", and some people don't like twinks, but others love them. In the past, I've received a comment or two suggesting that our photos here at UndiesDrawer are too "twink-heavy". I'm open to posting a broader range of photos, and I feel like we cover quite a range, but I'm interested in hearing from you.
I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU via the comments to this post -- and more than just one or two of you. A handful of comments doesn't convince me of much, so if you're reading this and have an opinion, please comment and tell me what you're thinking on this subject. Part of my motivation in running UndiesDrawer is for you, the reader, to get what you want out of it, so let me know what you're wanting out of UndiesDrawer.
ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS IN THE COMMENTS --
Do you have generally negative or positive feelings about the Bourbon Street Wear photo series? If positive, why? If negative, why? Do you want these kinds of photos available, but just not so much on the main site -- maybe publish them on the UndiesDrawer Photos page instead? What kind of models would you prefer to see -- twinks, cubs, frat boys, muscle men, bear, something else? If you have an opinion, state it now because I'm listening.





























I am amused by not only the ads themselves, but also from the responses of the readers. Why shouldn't counter-cultural groups have their own Poster Boy or a company market to them. Too skinny and shaggy haired, hmm let's think about Jim Morrison or Mick Jagger. Today they would fit right in with their costumes of their day.Then there are the "Saggers" outraging state legislators, Sheriffs, local community leaders, by gasp showing off their behinds and their underwear ! There ought to be a law against it! Perhaps that is why CN2 or Andrew Christian came out with their back seated emblem underwear?
Let's also not forget how the size of the waist bands keep changing, so that the manufacturer can advertise their brand for all of us who choose not to wear a belt with our jeans or shorts! I deeply protest this change in the size of the underwear band to hold up my skivies!
I want to see more of these outrageous displays of men's clothing, like the first CK white brief advertisement of the early 1980's! or the one done by 2(x) ist was just simply scandalous, a poster boy in a black and white photo for sale. Today its called art.
I think the Emos, the Saggers, the JC Penny white brief wearer should all be run in a series. The more the merrier. This is a multi billion dollar business and everyone should have their niche choice (s). How about posting the Tiger Underwear catalog that advertises on this blog? Nostalgia at its finest.

I actually think the model is gorgeous! I don't know whats everyone's problem. At least he is better than the Diesel model. All other underwear labels have only men with muscles and I am not as muscular as they are. At least with Bourbon St Wear, thats more my body type, and the underwear looks good on him.
Modelling is not just about posing, you will need to know how to act and be in the character and the model from Bourbon St Wear is definitely doing the job. Keep up the good work! Keep him coming!!
ps: I like the hair too
