I visited James Bond Island many moons ago on the strength of the film "The Man with the Golden Gun", plus the fact that Christopher Lee (who scared the shit out of me as a kid playing Count Dracula) starred in it made it extra special

He was an important writer of much of my early research.  I'd love to re-read his posts from back in the day...Stogie's site, I believe.  Top shelf!

The years have really flown by.

A huge loss to our community.

Yes, he was one of the best contributors back in the day, and had a great attitude towards the scene and fellow lb lovers. His posts are still available to read at The Ladyboys Forums.

ten years? ten fucking years? 

Rob was one of the first guys i met on my first trip to bangkok, and the best wingman i ever had. A gentleman, always properly--even primly--dressed. A rare ability to enjoy himself insanely without ever becoming insane. Except perhaps the night my girl-of-the-nonce and I chatted across the dark with Rob and Jeje (at least i think that was she--it's been a long time) as they availed themselves of their own 'private' balcony. The next morning he was as nattily attired as ever, appearing none the worse for wear--although she did look utterly shagged out. As entertaining a conversationalist at breakfast as ever there was.

I bemoaned his loss thoroughly then, no need to repeat it all here.

Missed indeed.

RIP

I think his motto was " enjoy life , its not a dress rehearsal "... so right there

Loved that guy as a kid watching the OG Batman tv show. 

Funny story, it seems Adam West and the dude who played The Riddler were kicked out of a Hollywood orgy for remaining in their respective characters.

“Well, I think one of my favorite memories is that Frank and I were invited to a party one night and we decided to go, a Hollywood party we didn’t know anything about. We were kind of laughing and having a few beers and said, ‘Let’s go over there,'” West said in a 2014 interview with Blastr.  “We walked in … and it was an orgy. So I immediately went into the Batman character, and Frank went into the Riddler character, because we were getting the big giggles. It was so funny to us, what we walked into. And we were kicked out. We were expelled from the orgy.”

RIP, Batman.

Walter Becker of Steely Dan fame dead at 67. Causes have yet to be released. One of the most influential musical geniuses of his generation IMHO. The music he created with Donald Fagan is indelible. Over my lifetime I spent countless hours listening to their recordings. All things must pass but sadly a little too early for this incredible guy.

Genius is an often over-used word, but it really describes Becker and Fagan. I'm glad you posted Sam; just sad about the news. Like you, I play their music a lot, and it will have a different sound now.

Hugh Hefner: Playboy magazine founder dies aged 91

Hugh Hefner, American founder of the international adult magazine Playboy, has died at the age of 91.

Playboy Enterprises Inc said he passed away peacefully at home in Los Angeles, from natural causes.

Hefner began publishing Playboy in his kitchen in 1953. It became the largest-selling men's magazine in the world, shifting seven million copies a month at its peak.

Cooper Hefner, his son, said he would be "greatly missed by many".

He paid tribute to his father's "exceptional and impactful life as a media and cultural pioneer," and called him an advocate for free speech, civil rights and sexual freedom.

Hefner's trailblazing magazine helped make nudity respectable in mainstream publications, despite emerging at a time when US states could legally ban contraceptives.

It also made him a multi-millionaire, spawning a business empire that included casinos and nightclubs.

The first edition featured a set of nude photographs of Marilyn Monroe that Hefner had bought for $200. They had originally been shot for a 1949 calendar.

The silk pyjama-clad mogul became famous for his hedonism, dating and marrying Playboy models. In his later years he threw decadent parties at the luxurious Playboy mansion in Los Angeles.

He claimed to have slept with more than 1,000 women, and credited the impotence drug Viagra with maintaining his libido.

"I am a kid in a candy store," Hefner famously said. "I dreamed impossible dreams, and the dreams turned out beyond anything I could possibly imagine. I'm the luckiest cat on the planet."

From 2005-10, a reality TV show called "The Girls Next Door" showcased Hefner's libertine lifestyle - and the harem of young blonde women who shared it.

In 2012, aged 86, he married his third wife Crystal Harris - who was 60 years his junior.

Though critics saw Playboy as a byword for sleaze, its founder - who was born into a strict Methodist family - never shared that view.

"I've never thought of Playboy quite frankly as a sex magazine," Hefner told CNN in 2002. "I always thought of it as a lifestyle magazine in which sex was one important ingredient."

Hefner faced obscenity charges in 1963 for publishing and distributing Playboy, but the jury was unable to reach a verdict.

The magazine's most significant interviewees included civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr, Beatle John Lennon, and Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro.

Its huge sales were certainly driven by glossy colour pictures of nude "playmates", but it also developed a reputation for fine writing, with Norman Mailer, Kingsley Amis, Kurt Vonnegut, James Baldwin, Vladimir Nabokov, Margaret Atwood and Ray Bradbury among its contributors.

Their contributions allowed men to say they did not buy the magazine only for the pictures.

US President Donald Trump appeared on the cover in March 1990, with the tag-line: "Nice magazine, want to sell it?"

In the 1980s, competition from publications carrying more explicit photos saw Playboy's circulation decline, and Hefner himself suffered a stroke in 1985.

His daughter Christie took over Playboy Enterprises four years later, and Hefner retreated to his mansion, living with a bevy of women. Cooper Hefner took on a major role in the company in 2014 after Christie stepped down in 2009.

The magazine decided to scrap nudity in March 2016, but reversed its decision earlier this year.

A neighbour of Hefner's in August last year bought the Playboy mansion for $100m, but agreed Hefner could continue to live there until he died.
