Hunter Sep 2026 | Bootblack’s Eye View

It was a slower night than normal at the start. I had to ask my friend @HisNameisOx@woof.group to be a 'fluffer' for me to get the ball rolling. I often find this is a good little trick to get peoples attention; Once people see someone actually having their boots/gear worked on it prompts them to...

Fetish Unlimited | Bootblack’s Eye View

Fetish Unlimited was a very unique experience. But when i was asked to bootblack in that wonderful Victorian library of the UK Leather Archives how could I say no‽ Being able to chat with a group of women in their 60’s who had come to see everything was so much fun. I got to do several people’s first time sitting for a bootblacking,I had a gentleman sit for me who’s boots were already so well cared for and high-shined I wasn’t sure if I could do much to improve them. I also got to do some cleaning and conditioning of […]

Hunter April 2026 | Bootblack Eye View

This night was a good night for boot-blacking, despite my own weariness. Its been a week of me not getting enough sleep and it really caught up with me being out late at Hunter. As such I left a little earlier than normal after my shift on the Chair finished.

Hunter October 2025 | Bootblack’s Eye View

There was something in the air for Hunter this month. Everyone seem that bit extra horny and that little bit free-er. Everyone Seemed to be able to more easily flirt and sparks were frequently flying. It was thoroughly enjoyable. In the stand i got to do a few first-trimmers, as well as my beloved regulars whom I now look forward to catching up with each other on the past month. I was particularly happy I got to work on a rubberman’s boots. First time working with rubber boots and I finally got to use the “unicorn cum” soap made by […]

Hunter Aug 2025 | Bootblack’s Eye View

This hunter was a fun one. I didn’t see a lot of regular faces. A lot of people were either away on trips of just not wanting to come out in the heat. My chair however saw a lot of new faces/boots and i got to do more than a few peoples first time in a bootblacks chair. I also got to do a first of my own: I got to do a conditioning of a puppies leather hood.

Hunter April 2025 | Bootblack’s Eye View

This Hunter was a lot of fun. I really wasn’t sure how busy it was, since it seemed like half of all London kinksters were in Berlin for the Folsom Easter weekend. However it turned out to be a really nice crowed. I also got to reconnect with some friends who I had not seen in a very long while and had some very interesting conversations with people on the bootblack stand. I also had a challenging pair of boots. these were old army boots that had been used extensively on a construction site and were worse for wear. I […]

Hunter March 2025 | Bootblack Eye View

The times I get to work alongside other bootblacks are always a treasure. This Hunter Bootblack Joshi was again visiting, and took the early shift this time so I had a wonderfull time chatting and getting to catch up with people. I got to use my new setup with my new kitbox helping keep things a little more organised. The new lighting setup using a neck light wasn’t such a success and I’ll be looking into getting a new hedband like like Joshi had on. Tonight was extreamly sexually charged. I had a lot of hot men deliberately pressing thier […]

Hunter January 2025 | Bootblack’s Eye View

January’s Hunter. This was a night I enjoyed more than i thought i would. The reason i worried about my enjoyment is that I had already been out all day at a corperate event in the city. With no time to travel back home to pick up my kit I was stick lugging it round with me all day. Luckilly my friend Ox (pictured in the Gallery in the vest and blue ) offered me a place to put my feet up and gave me a hearty meal between the corperate event and the fun sexy event. I also tried […]

Hunter December 2024 | Bootblack’s Eye View

It was a slower night tonight. From talking to a lot of the crowed a lot of peope were having to do christmas work parties before they came, and others wanted to do rubber underground before they came. My chair was also a little less buisy than normal, with only 5 Johns. this was a good thing because it meant i got to have more fun. it felt nice to chill and talk with people after doing thier boots. Bootblacking is often about the connection with the person you are working on and i was really feeling it tonight. I […]

Hunter, September 2024 | Bootblack’s Eye View

I was a little worried about this Hunter. I had been quite ill, and still not great at the start of the week and I worried I wouldn’t be well enough to go and do the physical work all night. However, by Friday I was feeling much better and I had a blast. No fun in the darkroom for me this time, as didn’t feel up for much. However, I did get a wonderful massage from one client while bootblacking, and it was sorely needed. After the achy shivers of the illness had left me knotted up, so this was […]
