Lukas

Lukas is a bit of a mystery.

I really can't tell you much about him at all.

Mainly, in the first place, because he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth.

And, in the second place, because he hardly speaks a word of English.

In fact, I can't recall him uttering even a single word when we met.

In that case, you'll no doubt be wondering how exactly we did meet and how I got across the suggestion - which, even in Prague, isn't one you put to a boy necessarily every day - that he should strip off his clothes for the HMBoys camera.

Well, I have to admit that I cheated.

I booked Lukas's services through an agency and they presumably briefed him as to my requirements.

Actually, you already know the agency's boss.

It was Dan, whose pictures were posted on 24 October last year.

Now, Dan speaks excellent English - if you don't believe me, you can listen to him speaking in this site's "movie clips" section.

Deep and sexy.

A sort of Czech version of Garbo's voice.

But after what happened with Lukas, I had to wonder how well Dan actually spoke his own native language, Czech.

You see, I had agreed with Dan that I would pay Lukas both his own fee as a model and also the agency's fee as soon as the session was over. The idea was that Lukas would then pass on the agency's share of the fee to Dan later.

Somehow, though, Lukas seems to have failed to grasp that.

He happily took all the money and then, so I found out later from Dan, disappeared out of town under the impression that the entire fee was his!

We'll give Lukas the benefit of the doubt and assume that the whole thing was a genuine misunderstanding.

Nevertheless, as you can imagine, he was not thereafter the most popular boy in town.

So, solely, you understand, in the interests of justice and of attempting to track down Dan's share of the money, we're posting these pictures of Lukas today.

And, just so as to make the process of identifying him as easy as possible for you, we'll show you as much of Lukas's appearance as we can.

Right down to the smallest (though that's not exactly the most appropriate word, as you can see!) detail.
