By Will Seagers Hi folks! Will here. Once again, I'm having fun with the title. It's the very essence of a double entendre! However, in true cliffhanger tradition you will just have to wait until my New Year's Eve edition to see what's up!Anyway, In the Beginning I started my affair with men and the camera at a very early age... Me and "Mr. Claus”

By Will Seagers   Hi folks! Will here.We're taking a little bit of a break after the two year run of my blog with Bijou.To celebrate the two years of fun that I've had, here is a gala video for your viewing pleasure.

By Will Seagers  Hello folks! Will (At Large) here with some thoughts and feelings from the past.First of all, a big Happy Valentine's Day wish to all of you Bijou fans and readers! Although posting time for this blog comes a little after the fact, nonetheless I am writing this right smack in the middle of Valentine's Day! I hope you all are or wil

By Will Seagers  Hi Folks! "Will at Large" here for you today on this fortuitous "Ides of March" Friday. Yes, this is a departure from my ramblings about my past in the wonderful world of porn. But, there has always been a very large part of me that is drawn to the occult and esoteric parts of life. It is an ironic contrast to the showy and externa

By Josh Eliot Original ad for Killing Me Softly   It was not super simple for me to pick one Jack Wrangler movie to watch for my “I Just Watched” series. He had an iconic career with many great movies to his credit, but they are so well known that I searched for one that was a bit more obscure. I remember Jack being a household name ever since I wa

By Will Seagers  Hi folks, Will here. And, here I go again starting off with another obscure blog title. The I.M.H.O is of course "In my humble opinion." I have always liked that phrase because it allows the delivery of a potentially heavy message but buffers it by categorizing it as an opinion and not necessarily a fact. The real meat of this blog

By Will Seagers  Hi Folks, Will here. As usual, I have yet another strange title for you! The name of this multi-faceted adventure won't be significant until we get to the end of the blog. Like the house that landed in Oz, this story will go through lots of turbulence before getting there. But, with the help of of my friends, it turned out quite we

By Will Seagers  Salut, les gens - Will ici! So, here's an appropriate greeting to go along with my blog title! BTW, it's how I open each blog - but, with a French twist! I have been in love with the French language and culture from a very early age... seven to be exact! Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre (L), the glorious gates of Versailles (c

By M. Webster During a recent session of scanning and touching up behind the scenes photos from Jack Deveau's Hot House (1977) from our archive of materials from the great Hand in Hand Films, I felt a lot of enthusiasm to share them with an interested audience. In that spirit, here is a primarily photo-based blog featuring a selection of those imag

By Will Seagers  Hi Folks, Will Here! In the spirit of "The Good Old Summertime," today's blog is about my life's encounters with the great and not so great bodies of water around the globe.Born right at the edge of two signs, Capricorn (the sea goat) and Aquarius (the water bearer), I have had a life-long affinity to water. Until recently, I have

By M. Webster Today, we're flashing back to the late '70s/early '80s for a peek at a much earlier time for Bijou. This was within the era when porn features were still at their cinematic height, playing in theaters in major cities across the U.S. In Chicago, the Bijou Theater & Sex Club (which later expanded into Bijou Video), projected many of

By Will Seagers  Hi Folks - Will here! This week's endeavor deals with one of the seven deadly sins - Pride. I hope to convey some of my personal thoughts about pride, whether it be personal pride or collective pride - AKA Gay Pride.Regarding personal pride, I looked to my family in my early years for role models. My mother and father were a stunni

By Will Seagers  Hello Folks. Will Here! The title of this piece refers to a philosophical retrospective on my life and what I thought were catastrophic events, but turned out to be the flow of good fortunes that followed... "Life Goes On."I am an emotional and caring individual who, over the years, has developed an actual talent of hiding my feeli

By Will Seagers  Hi folks! Will here! So many times as I set out to write these blogs, I feel that I have hit a bit of a wall in terms of finding worthy and interesting material. That was the case today until out of the blue I started to think about bars and dance clubs that have given me so many great memories.Starting at the beginning, my long ti

By Will Seagers   Hi folks - Will here! In this second of (#?) installments, we'll have a look at the behind the scenes aspects of club life - that "Sacred Territory" known as “the booth” - from the perspective of a guest to a DJ plying his/her trade. That Ivory Tower you might have gazed upon during your many club excursions holds a lot more myste

By Will Seagers   Hi Folks, Will here! As this blog's title might imply, it wasn't my foot that got me in many booths! It might have been some other body parts! Regardless, over the years they have worked their charms.Back to the story. If my memory serves me, the year was 1979 and the place was Cherry Grove, Fire Island. My partner Tommy and I wer

By Will Seagers   Hi folks! Will here! With a title like that, you know I'm headed for uncharted territories... but parts well known! Tee hee hee!For the most part, I have left a lot of my own personal sexual life out of these blogs. BUTT, there is a time and a place for everything. This last installment has to do with my meeting, having a torrid s

By Will Seagers   Hi folks. Will here! And, in the spirit of the season, this week's "Booth Adventure" deals with the brightly colored and festive lights of club life and the party scene. I thought I was done with my "Booth Memories." But, they wouldn't be complete without recalling some of my "light-man escapades!"My attraction to lighting in gene

By Will Seagers [Originally published 01/18/25] Hi folks - Will here! Another strange but humorous title for a blog that doesn't quite fit my normal writing schedule. But hey... it's my birthday!I have always been a fan of that special day of the year that each one of has. And I've always been of a mind that it should be celebrated just like any ot
