Could summer get any better than this?!

I don’t think so.

Just back from Taipei Bear Beach Party

At the northern tip of Taiwan last weekend was the 5th annual Bear Beach Party. A lot of big boys, sun, and fun. I’ll share some more photos this week.

 

Pre-season at Zushi beach starts with group tanning

 

Summer in Tokyo is glorious, especially at the beach. Officially June is still rainy season, but there’s always a few beach days between the monsoons. This four-some is prepping for the beach season with mid-day tanning, while I cower under the UV tent. Trying out a new “rugged” point and shoot with zoom.

Who is this mystery woman?

Summer in Tokyo triggers most women to rigorously protect themselves from the sun while biking. Huge visor. Black gloves past the elbow. No matter the heat or humidity. In other countries, this look might frighten horses. In Japan, this look could not be more common. A small price to pay for beauty.

Well, hello there, Mr Shirtless in the city

Summer, where have you gone?

 

I stumbled upon this glorious street fashion snap. Summer, I miss you! This is one amazing psychedelic print outfit.

Sliding into the surf

 

I am not sure why I find this so funny. Maybe it’s the sideways motion, or his friends’ reactions. I guess the ocean is not safe, but is there a better place in the hot summer?

Hello, and please look at me

 

A camera is a great way to make friends. Why are these boys so friendly when approached by the older, foreign pervert?

Enoshima Eastside full of sexy guys

 

A hot summer day. On the way to the gay beach party with friends.

Fan is best for summer heat. So is wearing yukata.

What a cute and stylish couple at the Nichome summer Rainbow matsuri.
