We try to find different themes, special days or events to focus on each Furry Friday. Blame this one on our good friend, Mitch Howard, who sent us these pictures of bearded men wrapped in towels and discovered it worked very well for us.
Here is a humorous excerpt from the book, The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, that expresses the importance of towels:
“A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you — daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.”
Though towels aren’t often thought of as a fetishized accessory or article of clothing like jeans, boots or cowboy hats, these pictures show that they can definitely be used in a sexy way. After all, there’s only that thin layer of fabric between the viewer and the goods underneath.
Vote for your favorites and don’t forget to bring a towel!

September 9 is Teddy Bear Day, a day to bring out all your teddy bears and thank them for their company, the fun times you have had with them, and for all the days and nights they comforted you.
But we are fans of beautiful sexy men, especially with facial hair, which is of course what Furry Friday is all about. And wow were there some very sexy men this year. And world champion freestyle wrestler David Taylor, featured in our banner today, who won the gold medal in Tokyo, is just one example. I mean, whoa! I wonder if there are enough bearded men in singlets we can feature in the future, because singlets! OMG!
