Glad at least someone appreciated it, didnt exactly wanna nude up in the middle of perth for nothing.
Haha, the Murray street mall didnt know what hit it when blokey walked through there... I heard quotes such as "What the hell is Flying Objects".
For a good laugh and the rest of the 18 photo series you can check it out here...

I've put an autographed pic of Flying Objects Man on ebay under kitesurfing http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Flying-Objects-Man_W0QQitemZ280277359875QQihZ018QQcategoryZ58133QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and my gf made a facebook group www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=34991381145&ref=nf as well as a facebook page for FlyingObjects Man...
/prays workmates don't see it
There are extra pics up from the photoshoots you can all laugh at.
I'm doing the 100km event for the Around the Bay ride tomorrow starting at Sorrento. I'll be there as Flying Objects Man though unsure if I'll actually do the ride in costume because the outfit doesn't have padding for my nuts... 100km without padding = sterility
If anyone else is doing this ride and see's me come say hi :)
So...ended up doing the 100km Around The Bay event dressed up as Flying Objects Man. I got a lot of honks, whistles and catcalls as well as a heap of pics taken of me. Some guy even pulled up next to me on a motorbike and had the pillion video me for 5 mins. Several other riders did the same.
I made it into several websites and possibly the Herald Sun. They got pics but I don't know if they'll print one of me since they had thousands of riders/pics to choose from.
Keep an eye out for me on...http://www.bv.com.au/ (bicycle victoria)
www.fusesports.com.au/ (official event photographers)
www.tourdecafe.com.au/ (will be on by tue/wed)
www.renewtek.com/ (this is the motorbike/video guys)
Coming through the finish line I also got pulled aside and interviewed. No idea where that might end up though because I was too dazed/exhausted to notice more than some guy shoving a microphone into my face.
Cut,
if it was just the ging, disturbing as that would have been, then you'd have had my vote.
Since you had the bike pants, my vote still goes to Blokey, especially since he didn't have the bike to get away on if the mob turned nasty
OK lads I have an epic idea, but you gotta be smart to do it, It will get the most coverage but would def be hard to do.
You know the cloudwatch on ch. 10's 5pm news?? (WA)
How about getting a Flying Objects kite flying near the Narrows around the morning and maybe the cloud cam will pick it up and broadcast it to all of WA...heheh, of course its in timelapse so you'd need to kite for quite a while...
The Tour de Cafe owner just emailed me a copy of the pic he's putting up on his website. He asked me to show my guns...but I don't have any
Just got back from the city where I ran about as FO Man for a little bit in Flinders Station and on Swanson St. Got a few pics but not many turned out very well Blurred *sigh*
Headed to RPS right after and got a few pics outside and inside the store with Flying Objects gear and the staff. The guy who taught me how to kite (Brendan) tried to hide but I cornered him and we got a few shots A lot of blurred shots again...going to sack my camerawoman
Some of my pics are up on www.fusephotography.com.au site now. To find them just do a search on my race number (12786). The one where my head is turning away was when I was riding past some people out on their kites. There are other pics but I have to try and manually find them as my race number would have been obscured.
Time to hang up my g-string now. Been a lot of fun (possibly too much fun) but apparently I've now worn the missus' silver tights more times than she has.
My entry is a video:
Ok I lied...I slipped into the g-string and tights just one more time for the Cancer Council of Victoria Relay for Life charity run/walk.
I'm going to put all these images into a slideshow and upload em to youtube as I have hundreds.
This was a Flying Object... got the photo on the wrong angle and can't see the FO sticker properly along the bottom of the doors.

On another note...going to work tonight is going to be embarrassing. Apparently they've put a couple of pics on the noticeboard at work of me in my costume at the Around the Bay ride and the Walk for Life event. I work at Crown Casino and entered those charity events as part of the Crown team.
8000 people work at Crown and walk past that noticeboard I get enough randoms at work teasing me as it is...
