Edwin / Jarrison

Remember how I told you about our abortive attempt to set up an ambitious foursome photo shoot a few weeks ago?

And how, while the two boys you've already seen - Sergio and Ricardo - went at it hammer and tongs, the other two kids chickened out at the last minute?

Well, today we're offering you those other two for your inspection.

You know, it took us a little while to get to the bottom of that little episode.

Was it nerves, we wondered?

Was it some sort of personal or professional jealousy?

Was it not wanting to share the limelight?

Was it concern that they'd somehow lose out on the money?

At first we couldn't work it out at all.

But we reckoned it didn't really matter anyway, because, just as a twosome, Edwin and Jarrison here are as pretty as a picture - or, to be exact, as 78 pictures.

Of course, if you've got a keen memory for these things like the guys who regularly write in to comment on the smallest visible details of individual photographs, you may well recognise Edwin, at least, from his earlier solo appearance as an HMBoys digital model.

That was in January 2002 - more than three years ago - but I think you'll agree that Edwin's not changed very much at all in appearance since then.

But if the way he looks is much the same, then his lifestyle certainly isn't.

Three years ago, you'll recall, he was one of the boys we met at Big Dick's guesthouse for gentlemen in San Jose, Costa Rica.

(Hmmm… that reminds me. Big Dick's gone sorta Limp Dick lately - I must give him a call and see wassup.)

All the boys there were pretty ambitious - if only to meet a Yankee millionaire and get back to the States with him and his credit cards!

But Edwin wasn't only ambitious - he was realistic too and, as a result, carefully saved his cash and has now set himself up with a nice little escort business of his own.

Or, rather, not quite on his own, because on the entrepreneurial route he picked up a cute young boyfriend, Jarrison,

Now the two of them often get bookings as a pair - take a look and you'll soon see why - and they're more than happy for the guy hiring their services to join in the action at any time.

And that's why they insisted on being photographed separately.

"It's just sensible marketing", said Edwin.

"Just being part of a mass of arms and legs in a foursome wouldn't get us noticed at all.

"But a picture set of us on our own is like a big advertisement that puts us in front of 13,000 HMBoys members who are all potential customers.

"And we didn't even have to pay for it - in fact you paid us!"

Jarrison might well have wanted to add something at that point.

But he couldn't.

He already had his mouth full.
