Welcome to Moonrise Boulevard!
(Inspired by the stories of mishandling of aspiring models at a well-known fashion brand).

Free Checks at the Pump |
RR has a portfolio of sexy encounters between petrol pump attendants and drivers. Some are romantic. Others show one or other of them making the first move. Mature men and sexy jeans add pleasing dimensions to this one. You just don't do this to a thirty-something!

Pumping Gas |
I particularly like this one. The customer shamelessly flaunting his body is a great image in itself. He seems bemused by the pump attendant's comic response, but then it's pretty obvious that erotic subtlety is not his style!

Where D'ya Want It? |
RR also visualises the pump monkey as a bit of a himbo who dresses in skimpy shorts at the behest of the owner to draw in customers. New boys who are unfamiliar with exotic car models may be the victim of mischievous customers, exploiting their naivety.

Dressed For A Hard Ride |
Paths that wind through woods are a favourite stomping ground for AI art creators. You never know who you might meet on the trail so it's a good idea to wear suitable gear.

Careful What You Wish For |
Secluded trails are prime territory for cruising. RR invokes the 50s look in this eager, young face. He might be a bold, new boy learning the ropes, but looks are sometimes misleading. Nice to see that this stud takes precautions but doesn't discriminate.

There's a retro look here as well, which is apt in the context, as the biker who picks up the surfer type can be traced back to the 60s imagery of Etienne's 'Road Kings'. This biker isn't wearing leathers but a leotard, which replaces mysterious, dark sexuality with sporty freshness. It wouldn't earn him any brownie points from a safety point of view, but does no harm at all to his sexual allure. The opportunity to embrace him from behind, astride a bike, is one not lightly refused!
This was the golden age of American teenagers enjoying the freedom of driving and posing in their parent's cars and hanging out at drive-in venues of all sorts. However, the gay flirting pictured here was at best discreetly under the radar.
It was a time when men were starting to show their bodies, and there's some great imagery of shorts here. Not sure about the boots, but they do enable a comical slant. This image complements the ongoing 'Scout' posts at the Royale Studio gallery, which were contemporary.

God Bless Jeans 1 |
One of the distinctive features of RR's work is the use of media mock-ups, like this billboard for jeans. There's a whole series of these with varied brands and different wearers, plus a range of rips and tears. It's hard to improve on the basic, undistressed look on the right bottom, though. Capable of provoking a range of imaginings. The bike parked underneath makes it look like he's just hopped off to pose in the magic window.

I like this one because he's older and doesn't look like showing off his ass comes naturally. As if that rip only just happened, and he wouldn't have been showing it to us at all if the photographer hadn't made him lie that way round. He can't wait to make his escape!
