Oh lordy, I did NOT need to see Andy in ripped underwear. However, you need to see it.
Now you can't un-see it.
The one & only Justin Bond performed to a loving audience of over 1000 on Valentine's Day 2010 at San Francisco's Castro Theatre. "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" was the 2nd Act opener of the Carpenters tribute show "Marc Huestis Presents JUSTIN BOND: CLOSE TO YOU. " The band was under the musical direction of Lance Horne, (also on keyboards) with Ben Prince on 2nd keyboard, Peter Fogel on guitar, Matt Aranoff on bass, David Finch on trombone & strings, Evan Francis on flute, Niel Levonius on trumpet, Matt Swindells on drums, & Julie Garnye on back-up vocals. Sound by Randall Schiller Productions. Videography by Mark Kliem (yours truly!), Jeff Dinnell & Marc Huestis. Edited by Marc Huestis.
And yes, I did the close-up camera on stage right. As you'll notice, my camera was the only one that got the colors right! (His dress is supposed to be pink, not gold.) Though I missed all the activities surrounding Bear Week, going to that show turned out to be like a high school (emphasis on "high") reunion with all my club kid friends from the 1990's.
After the show, the Sisters sainted Justin Bond at the VIP reception, and the first thing Justin wrote on Facebook the next day was "... it was the greatest honor of my life."
I ducked out of the reception early and met friends next door at the Twin Peak bar. Lo and behold an hour later Justin Bond held court right next to us at the bar! It was nice to catch up with him, and we may have a little project in the works when he returns to San Francisco in a few weeks!
The big, straight college jocks living at the Fratpad play a game of Twister. But of course, it's played with nude men and somehow Naked Twister turns into Sexual Twister. How did that happen? Join Fratpad to find out!
Sample shots after the jump.
I don't know who "The Gayes" are or where they come from but the photos are to die for! The matching vintage kitsch powder blue bell-bottomed pants are only superseded by the bell-bottomed sleeves!
I'm guessing they were Sweden's second-rate copy cat version of Abba. But where are they now, and more importantly, does anyone care?
Oh, the 70's, how I miss that time of fashion experimentation when taking a risk really meant taking risk. Not all fashion experiments succeed, as we can see here, but I'll bet the gangbangs in the tour bus made it all worthwhile.
I really enjoyed the premier of the second season of Ru Paul's Drag Race last night. You can tell the show was a success because they've upgraded the studio, made a larger stage and it overall "feels" like a bigger show. Even the work room looks like an actual studio of some sort and not just a garage.
Ru Paul has stolen so much from Project Runway, and with the lackluster finalists from the last season of that show, I think Ru Paul is really more likely to strike a home run. Why do people watch either show? For the drama and the fabulousness. Talk about drama! In the "Untucked" portion that followed the main show, those queens backstage were dishing each other to dirt, and even figuring out who they think are the hottest as boys, too.
The classic line from "Untucked" would have to be, "I am gonna fuck you up! Bitch, I am from Chicago!"
Enjoy the video above made by some desk jockey wannabe queens that work at Logo. Apparently, Ru Paul is the burst of excitement that network has been hoping for. And in my opinion, everything you loved about Project Runway is done better and funnier on Drag Race.
They also brought in Chris March from Project Runway to comment , but he didn't have much to say. Coincidentally, I just got his book this weekend, too. Come to find out there are a lot of photos of a deceased friend, Michael Benbrook, who also worked with Chris March at Beach Blanket Babylon.
I am trying to erase the image of a coconut being shoved up a butt, however, I'm sure plenty of guys get turned on by the idea. If someone has already tried putting a coconut up a guy's butt, I'm sure it was one of the evil geniuses from either Titan, Hot House or Kink.com. Do me a favor and check out those websites and report back to me.
Fans of gothic cartoonist Edward Gorey created fancy dress ball years ago to celebrate the unique imagery that's hard to describe unless you see it. The "Edwardian Ball" is not so much about style of British royalty of the early 20th century, but more about the imaginary world of an eccentric artist, Ed Gorey.
Who the hell is Ed Gorey? Gorey has become an iconic figure in the Goth subculture. Events themed on his works and decorated in his characteristic style are common in the more Victorian-styled elements of the subculture, notably the costumed Edwardian costume balls held annually in San Francisco and Los Angeles, which include performances based on his works. The "Edwardian" in this case refers less to the Edwardian period of history than to Gorey himself, whose characters are depicted as wearing fashion styles ranging from those of the mid-19th century to the 1930s.
He might be best known for the opening titles of the PBS series Mystery! is based on Gorey's art, in an animated sequence. (Oh, now I know who he is!)
I attended the Ball with a group of more fashion-forward Sisters and the event was awesome. Though upon entry I was inform by security that photos would only be allowed withOUT flash, I managed to create over 100 art pieces of my own. They are currently available for viewing by VIP Members of Lavender Lounge and
Vintage Bareback. (Join one site, and passwords work for both.)

I see these giant dildos on websites and porn store and wonder, who USES these things? How do you get that thing inside you, and even if you did stretch your hole enough, what happens to your insides?
Well, my questions were answered when I saw this video. It took a very skinny guy with a flexible asshole and a lot of (ahem) guts to illustrate this physiology experiment. When you shove a piece of rubber the length of your arm up your bum, it doesn't just disappear. So THAT'S where it goes!
I saw this on a discussion board of other gay porn webmasters - a group of people who previously thought they've seen it all. Most of them even thought is was over the line and gross. Naturally, the only pornographers who thought it was "hot" were the ones in the sex toy business. Below are comments from other pornographers:
-"Wow! That's pretty graphic! After working in this biz for a while it's hard to find things that still make you squirm, but that did it! YIKES!"
-"That weird clicking noise on the video while seeing a lump in his upper abdomen when it's far in really is too much. There are videos of guys being drastically fisted that are much sexier. He doesn't have an ugly body, but the whole thing is just too creepy."
-"I was expecting the little "Alien" head to burst out of his abdomen"
-"I wish I had finished my chocolate pop tart long before watching this. It is now in little chunks in the toilet."
Ugh. After seeing that video, I think I'm going to throw away any kind of anal sex toy I own, become a Republican, and join the Mormon church...
