For years I’ve been called a “posh prick.” I prefer to think of it as accurate branding. The Great State of Texas has now made it official. POSH PRK. I’m self-aware. Just not self-improving. #OwnIt #MentionItAll

Bright, magazine-style portrait of a smiling man relaxing beside his white Mercedes-AMG SL in a modern driveway. The focal point is the personalized Texas license plate reading “POSH PRK,” tying into the self-deprecating humor of the post.

I’m not crying…you’re crying. Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers out there and all the people filling those roles whoever they be. #GaybyBoomers

A handmade Father’s Day card created by a daughter. One side features a hand-drawn Hermès Birkin bag with charms and hearts and a playful message about being “the rarest of them all.” The other side contains a heartfelt handwritten letter thanking her father for listening, supporting her interests, loving her unconditionally, and being someone she looks up to. The card is signed “Estelle” with hearts.

“You don’t have to attend every party you’re invited to.” A hard season has taught me this: strength isn’t always standing tall. Sometimes it’s sitting in the quiet, feeling everything—and choosing not to engage. Not everything deserves a reaction. Some things deserve your peace.

Apparently the secret to good photos is not knowing you’re taking one. Every time I actually want a picture, I can’t find the camera app. This morning I reach for my coffee and it snapped this. Not mad at it. ☕️. #SheDidMeGood #NotMadAtIt #CandidCamera

Unplanned morning snapshot of a me reaching for my coffee. I’m wearing black piped pajamas and gold necklaces with the three Frenchmen represented (Cartier, Hermes and Vuitton). There is a soft window light illuminating the room. The coffee cup dominates the foreground while the relaxed bedroom setting fades into the background.

When you hear the group chat notification ding

Black-and-white studio photo of a fit, silver-haired man captured midair in a dramatic, dance-like leap against a seamless light background. He wears minimal black briefs and layered bracelets and necklace. His body is fully extended with one leg stretched forward and the other bent beneath him, arms angled in opposite directions, muscles sharply defined. His hair is swept back by motion, and his gaze is focused to the side, creating a high-fashion, sculptural, almost gravity-defying moment.

Looking back isn’t always about the past. Sometimes it’s just good lighting and a better view. #NewArse #NewMe #MadeYouLook #BlackAndWhite #EditorialVibes #GrayGay #GaybyBoomer

Black-and-white portrait of a man seated at the edge of a pool at night, water droplets on his skin. He looks back over his shoulder toward the camera, with strong directional lighting highlighting the muscles of his back and arms. The background fades into soft reflections on the water, creating a moody, cinematic feel.

Them” Models age out at 30.” Me: #MensStyle #LuxuryFashion #Over40Style #TimelessStyle #LouisVuitton #EditorialStyle #StyleAtAnyAge

A silver-haired man with a neatly trimmed beard sits relaxed against a muted green backdrop, wearing a tailored black suit and black boots. He leans slightly back with one arm bent, holding a Louis Vuitton crossbody bag with a tan leather strap across his chest. Beside him are stacked Louis Vuitton monogram trunks and a duffel, reinforcing a luxury travel theme. The lighting is soft but directional, highlighting texture in the fabrics and leather while keeping the overall mood refined and high-fashion. The words “LOUIS VUITTON” appear in large white text along the bottom.

at The Gilded Hour, a modern speakeasy soirée benefiting the Texas Center for the Missing—Houston’s Amber Alert provider. An evening of glamour with purpose, where every detail shimmered—but the mission mattered most. Showing up never goes out of style.

Under a cabaret spotlight, a man in full white tie—top hat, tails, gold waistcoat, and unapologetic pearls—pauses mid-sip with a cane in hand. Equal parts theater and attitude.

This isn’t a bag. Six weeks of rebuilding— crystal by crystal, detail by detail. One-of-one Birkin sculpture. Pink crystal. 18kt gold-plated hardware. Hand-finished throughout. It got me through something. Now… I can let it go.

I’m not sure who needs to see this, maybe me.

Checking in from Houston, Texas. Long day… about to disappear into a hot soak. Where in the world are you tonight? Show me the view — selfies encouraged.

Mirror selfie in a softly lit luxury spa bathroom. A person with silver hair holds a phone in front of their face while wearing an open black satin pajama top and gold jewelry. Warm candlelight and marble surfaces blur in the background, creating a calm, high-end spa atmosphere. The photo focuses on natural skin tones and relaxed end-of-day energy.

He came downstairs, looked at me like this… and now I feel like I should explain myself. What did I do?

A small Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy with chestnut and white fur stands on a stair landing, looking slightly skeptical or concerned, with soft indoor light and wooden stairs rising behind him.

I take a lot of photos, but every now and then one feels like an actual portrait instead of just a picture. This one is mine. Bluesky friends: show me your favorite portrait of yourself. Phone selfie, studio shot, painting, AI experiment — anything. Let’s see the faces behind the feeds. 📸

Shirtless photo of me in an overly bronzed spray tan. I’m looking at camera. Arms crossed. My belly fat pooling on my pants.

Or as Ai says -

Dramatic studio portrait of a shirtless silver-haired man with a short beard sitting against a dark background, arms folded over one knee. Soft directional lighting highlights his face, arms, and torso while the background fades into deep black, giving the image a moody, cinematic feel.

I’m collecting jobs I got fired from on the first day. Where should I get fired next? Your idea might become Saturday’s episode.
