<div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Jarvis Driscoll - Buyer</span></span></strong></div><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><br/><strong>Name:</strong> Jarvis Driscoll<br/><strong>Age:</strong> 46<br/><strong>Role:</strong> Buyer / regular at the gallery<br/><strong>Orientation:</strong>  Hetero (who has been known to experiment), but will watch anyone doing most things (see Fetishes/Offs).<br/><strong>Specialty:</strong> (if any) Charming people into getting his own way.<br/><strong>Fetish/Offs:</strong> <br/><span class="bbc_u">Fetishes:</span> Jarvis likes to watch.  He will get involved if he deems it to be appropriate, but he mostly likes to watch.  The seed of voyeurism was planted when he was 11, having spied on his older sister masturbating.  (He fantasizes from time-to-time about incest, but would never consider doing it.)  Jarvis’s early sexual experiences continue on this theme.  As an 18 year-old he was sent on a European <em>Grand Tour</em>.  He spent all his time and money frequenting sex-shows in Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and Barcelona. One of his biggest turn-ons is to watch a woman masturbate to orgasm. He is near obsessed by female ejaculation. He is building a private collection of erotica based on these tastes.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Offs:</span> He will tell you that he will "watch almost anything being done to anyone".  In reality he is not stimulated by anything involving scat, vomit, blood or watersports. He does not like extreme brutality or anything involving under 18 year olds or animals.  <br/>The same goes for participation.<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>  This image will give you some idea.  <br/><br/>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/2d/JDriscoll.jpg)<br/><br/>As a self-confessed Anglo-cum-Europhile, he has a penchant for the “<em>New Edwardian</em>" bespoke tailoring style such as can be found at <em>Ozwald Boateng</em> or <em>William Hunt</em> in Saville Row, London.  He buys his shirts from <em>Turnbull and Asser</em> (double cuff, Regent collar).  However he concedes to the superiority of French and Italian tie-makers – <em>Hermès</em> in particular.  His shoes are hand made by <em>Franc</em> in Florence (where the cobbler keeps his personal lasts.)  He has a collection of vintage watches, his preferred being his 1960’s <em>Rolex Tudor</em> Alarm.  He also has his cufflinks created for him by <em>Gurhan</em>; with his current favorite being a mounted pair of matched Australian red fire opals.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>  <br/>Very well educated, he knows that he can use his intellect as a stick to beat people with, but chooses to go by his grandfather’s maxim “you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar”. He is, however, guarded about his personal life, and is not one to offer up information.  He can be frank, however, when detailing what he wants to see.  For Jarvis, the devil really is in the detail.  <br/>When he chooses to buy, it will always be of the finest quality, and will often go to extraordinary lengths to ensure this.  As examples, he will only frequent a bar or restaurant that serves <em>Pol Roger</em> vintage champagne, and pays handsomely for someone to test the quality of the cocaine he buys. He is by nature pluralist – does not believe in ‘one way to behave’. He has an eye for beauty in almost any situation, but experiences a certain <em>frisson</em> out of juxtaposition of beauty and ‘ugliness’ or beauty with a single flaw. If he takes a shine to you he can be overwhelmingly generous, but be careful; you may find yourself being subtly controlled.<br/><strong>Biography:</strong><br/>He comes from a wealthy Irish-American background, his family having made money in financial services in Boston.  He grew up in a vast baronial pile near Marblehead Neck. Educated at St Seb’s (Needham, MA), he went on to do an English Major and MA in English Lit at Stanford.  He lives alone in an open plan loft apartment, which has a ‘secret’ gallery of his collection.  He works as a literary agent, and regularly travels to world book fairs (his preferred destinations being London, Berlin and Paris.)  In reality, he is of independent income, but he enjoys his work for the opportunities it brings to meet potential short-term sexual partners (whom he can watch); and it makes him appear respectable.</span><br/><br/><br/>Langueduchatte (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=84353.msg3712657#msg3712657)
