Rectober... week 3, part 2

[birdsofshore]

Help! I am running out of month! Here in the nick of time is my sixth rec post for Rectober, with 2 more to come next week.

OK this time I am cheating a bit. Again. It's not all fic. But it could be very inspiring.I bring you:

NAKED ROWING CALENDAR REC.

Merciful heavens, omi_ohmy, I saw this and thought of you.



These charming young men, and their team mates, the Warwick Rowers, are stripping off (and larking about together, shaving one another, squirting each other with water and pushing each other in rivers) to combat homophobia. I, for one, think it would be wrong to stop them.

Here's a video about the making of the calendar they are selling. Purely for informational purposes. Also, you can buy a calendar here.

So, rowing apparently does give you an outrageously fit body. When is it career fair again? Rower!Harry, anybody? Coxwain!Draco?

Here's a real rec for an hd_fan_fair entry:

Title:Frequent Patronage
Author/Artist: currently anon
Pairing(s) Harry/Draco
Rating: PG
Summary: Draco sells books, and Harry is looking for a book. Harry is looking for another book. Harry is looking for a lot of books.

Why I loved it: This was for my prompt and I don't really think it could be more perfect. I was so excited to get art and a story together. The boys are wonderfully handsome and their faces and postures are so expressive. Luna is a gorgeous addition. The story is simple but charming, and there are piles and piles and shelves and shelves of books in every picture. ♥

Well, look at that! I feel a sudden need to educate myself about rowing.

It's very educational, that video. And it's for a good cause. It would be hard-hearted NOT to watch it a few times.

You're right. It would. *clicks play*

They WANT us to objectify them. To show we aren't prejudiced.

If they really WANT to be objectified, we should let them.
