| Mitchell - My Beautiful Launderette |
The day Billy was called up to start his mandatory period of National Labour Service, they took him to the local launderette where he stripped and put his clothes in the wash. He wouldn't be needing them again for a few years so that they would be cleaned and sent to the local recycling shop for resale.
They did allow him to keep his underpants on, for the sake of public decency since he would be taken to the Labour Distribution Centre on public transport. Once in the the system he wouldn't need them any more, as his new Master would supply his uniform, probably a loincloth.
As he locked Billy into his transit chains, the escort commented that Billy's underpants looked so good on him that when when he was put up for sale at the auction, they would probably be offered as a separate lot instead of being thrown away and he could imagine there being a keen interest in them.
Billy got the window seat on the bus of course and the escort sat next to him, blocking the escape route. He whiled away the journey chatting and endlessly fondling Billy's underpants which seemed to fascinate him. Since Billy's hands were cuffed behind his back he had no choice but to let him. Afterwards his memory of the journey was pretty hazy, but he thought he'd enjoyed it.

The memory of Nick Kamen undressing in the launderette ad for Levi jeans (which I included recently in the mitchmen homoerotic images series) reminded me of this ancient drawing which I am pretty sure I did before Nick's strip hit the screens and must have been inspired by one of the many periods in my life when I used the local launderette to wash my own clothes. Fantasies of a performance like this lightened the weekly boredom of watching my underwear endlessly going round and round in the suds.
