"A Christmas Criminal" - Part 17

Tom listens as the Security Guards receive their instructions.

They discuss what to do then visit other rooms in the house, 

Footsteps sound above. Drawers and doors bang and rattle.

They're searching for something.

Tom waits for them, wriggling in the heat of the fire

Which continues to toast his exposed and unprotected body.

When the Security Guards eventually return,

one of them is holding a cut-throat razor.

Horrified, Tom struggles with his bindings afresh,

but he cannot escape and feels cold steel contact his skin.

.

The guard begins to shave Tom's helpless, trembling body.

Starting with his legs, calves and thighs, slowly working upwards.

 The sharp blade glides across Tom's skin, 

surfing the film of accumulating perspiration

scything through the tangle of hair that covers his body

The hair that defines his masculinity.

 This delicate, defiling operation has a terrible intimacy,

With the Guard steadying his terrified charge's body

In order to present him, shaking to meet the blade.

It glides across his fleshy undulations,

ruthlessly felling his furry fluff.

This is for entertainment only, I don't know how valid or representative Google's stats really are and obviously posts from January have an advantage over December. That effect probably wouldn't have changed the winners much this year as nothing after August even made the cut, despite that figure being only 331, considerably lower than last year's 426. 

2015 was obviously not a vintage year for mitchmen posting! The top post would have been 2nd to Tagame last year, but the runner up would have only made 8th (see Last year's top 20). Only 10 posts beat the last years cut-off figure. My Artist Index page which started up this year got 723 hits but I haven't included it in the rankings.

There are plenty of surprises in this years ranking, not least at No 1, way ahead of the rest, my article on Eddie Chin's work. His subject matter of glamorous, celebrity beefcake imaginings doesn't fit my usual fetish-oriented style, but there's always room for clean art and handsome men! The transformational art of Yomero showing at an equally unexpected No 5, has similar technical qualities plus a wickedly inventive slant on the theme of race.

'Nous Sommes Charlie' at No 2 is a surprise we'd all rather not have had, but the cartoons assembled for this article remain superbly witty and incisive. It's ranking has no doubt been boosted by the prominent link I have placed in the blog sidebar. That will remain as a reminder that Freedom of Expression is our fight too.

This table is usually dominated by entries from my A-Z of Fetish Artists but I didn't post many of them in 2015 and none got into the top 20. However the 'Ulf Retrospective' articles which are excluded from the A-Z on technical grounds only, claimed 4 places despite my erratic posting schedule. This series will continue in 2016.

I'm particularly pleased that every one of the articles posted under the heading: 'You're Going Down' got into the top 20. This collection explored sex in prison through the work of various artists. The article dedicated to Kalabro's uncompromising lesson coming in at No 6 is a much deserved recognition of his ability.

The final big surprise is the presence of both of last year's 'most popular' articles at Nos 8 & 14. At one point it looked like these might head up this year's rankings which would be rather absurd. I suspect this result is more due to the popularity of Tagame and Mike Carcel (the two winners) than my analytical musings! 

The number of articles with photographic content rather than artwork in the top 20 this year was 3 compared with 2 last year. 

I will publish the updated list of all-time favourites shortly.

"A Christmas Criminal" - Part 16

The Security Guards tie Tom to the chair

using strips of his own, shredded T-shirt.
The rest of it they toss into the fire, along with his jeans.

They leave him alone while they phone up the Police.
planning to arrange a humiliating, naked hand-over.
But it's Christmas Eve and the Police are too busy.
So the Guards call the owner of the house for instructions.

 

Mitchell HG16 - In a warm spot

While they're away, Tom wrestles with his bindings but cannot get free.
Besides, it's freezing outside, how can he escape without any clothes?

The fire behind him becomes hotter and ever more fiery.
It's comforting warmth becoming unbearable heat.
Tom had specially chosen, scruffy, old clothes for the raid
Ones previously worn for his car maintenance jobs.
Infused with oils and combustible chemicals 

they feed the conflagration.
He won't be wearing them again.

Mitchell HG15 - Seated in Front of the Fire

With Tom completely stripped and totally unresisting, 

the two security men force him to sit on a kitchen chair 

Which they have placed in front of the fireplace

Tom hopes he might get the chance to plead his case now.

HG14 Resisting Arrest

.

Despite Tom's willingness to co-operate, 
his captors continue to forcibly subdue him.
In the struggle expensive Christmas packages are sent flying
and Tom's cheap and well-worn T-shirt is ripped from his body.

 Tom notices that his attackers are not Policemen.

Perhaps, if he can tell them his story, 
he can persuade them to let him go.

Mitchell HG13 - Empty Your Pockets Kid!

But before he can even say a word, 

their unconventional procedures reveal 

damning evidence of premeditation.

"A Christmas Criminal" - Part 12

The attackers measured violence 
is designed to tame hardened thugs.

But Tom's just not in that league,
So his resistance is snuffed out in no time.....

Mitchell HG12 - Apprehension

.
When the lights come on, Tom sees the uniforms.
Caught in the act, he is cowed and shamed, 
And so he submits to their indignities.

Artists Note - this image (and others also numbered 306 that will follow soon) are the original drawings that made up this story when I dreamed it up many years ago (more details here). For this series I have elaborated the narrative a little particularly the characterisation of Tom. I have also coloured the pictures to take advantage of the Christmassy setting.
