Another video clip from Justin Bond's Valentine's Day Show at the Castro Theater. In this clip he talks about Global Warming - "I don't give a shit."

I agree with him when he makes the point, if you're worried about your children's future, quit having so many babies!

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!

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.

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.)

Last night I attended the Cockettes 40th Anniversary screening of their three films, "Palace", "Tricia's Wedding" and "Elevator Girls In Bondage" at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. I own a copy of "Elevator Girls In Bondage" but I had never seen either of the others. I was there mostly because it's an important step culturally for the drugged out, crazy drag theater troupe to be honored at a prestigious art venue like MOMA. I also wanted a chance to see hosts Justin Bond and Lady Miss Kier.

"Palace" gives what I believes is an accurate portrayal of the crazy spirit of the Cockettes, at least from the perspective an an urban legend. Shot in black and white with an unmatched soundtrack added, the film itself is representation of experimental, underground film making of the period. It showed backstage preparation, applying makeup, audience arriving, making costumes, a lot of nudity and drinking, and disjointed clips of the disjointed stage performance. It told no story, made no sense, but it was just fun to watch.

"Tricia's Wedding" was a popular short in the Midnight Movie circuit that poked fun at the real life event of Tricia Nixon's White House wedding. The copy we saw was beautifully restored in vivid color and perfect sound.

Years before Saturday Night Live made their mark lampooning celebrities in the news, "Tricia's Wedding", had drag queens impersonating all the political and cultural icons of the day that were (or were not) in attendance at the White House wedding. A highlight was soon-to-be disco diva Sylvester playing Coretta King singing a spiritual.  

Shot in two days with no rehearsal and a vague concept of a script, if a similar version were created today it would get lost in the shuffle on YouTube and forgotten in a matter of weeks. That it survived 40 years to be honored at MOMA is a tribute to it groundbreaking uniqueness and audacity. 

During the Q&A with the director, we discovered that "Tricia's Wedding" was actually secretly screened at the Nixon White House to determine if the FBI needed to further investigate the Cockettes for subversive or un-American activity.

"Elevator Girls In Bondage" is the feature length movie starring Rumi (below), the self-appointed archivist of the Cockettes and the driving force behind keeping the name alive. He's been touring the country hosting screenings and perpetuating the name. He was also instrumental in launching the stage revival of "Pearls Over Shanghai" here in San Francisco. I wrote about it months ago, and the production has continued it's open-ended run. With talented cast and actual rehearsals (imagine it!) the brilliance of the work can finally be appreciated. What a perfect way to spend your retirement years. Really.

Got any hog joints?

COCKETTES WIKIPEDIA - YOUTUBE ELEVATOR GIRLS - PEARLS OVER SHANGHAI

I went out for Halloween a couple times in 2009 and got some great pictures each time. This gallery is from Halloween Night. The theme of the party was Gods and Goddesses but I already had an outfit planned before I learned about the party. Since I was planning to wear a wedding dress (size 10, thank you very much!) I found out there is Celtic goddess named Brigit (The Bride) who is best known for having invented beer! That's the kind of god I'm willing to worship!

Just to give a little twist to the bride costume, I wore strap-on dildo underneath and it really got some great reactions! I have tons of photos of people sucking my dick, especially by people I wouldn't expect to do it! Several fantasies got fulfilled that night.

After two years of the Castro being a ghost town on Halloween, the crowds came back this year, but it felt very controlled due a very large police presence. Early in the evening I made one celebrity sighting, Ongina from Ru Paul's Drag Race was also in a wedding dress (where DID she get that idea!) and Jack Macinroth from Project Runway was escorting her in a tuxedo shirt with no sleeves.

HALLOWEEN 2009 - NON-MEMBER PREVIEW - VIP ONLY GALLERY - JOIN

The Sisters hosted the Beer Bust at the Eagle yesterday and to get everyone in the Halloween spirit, we held a little pumpkin painting contest. But, to make a little more fun, we hand-selected a group of the cutest butts at the Eagle to have contestants draw pumpkins on naked butts! It was a smart move to hand-select rather than ask for volunteers. That way there was more quality control, and the result was some beautiful bare asses on stage, even before they got painted.

The wining ass belonged to a tall blond muscle boy with a perfectly round bubble butt. I got some shots of him from the front, too, and it was apparent he was getting a bit of a woody by standing on stage exposing his backside. There were also some young hairy mixed race alternative types in the contest, one husky bear cub and the surprise was an appearance by porn star daddy Nick Moretti.

If you want to see photos of just the nuns from the Butt Painting Contest, visit SisterZsaZsa.com (don't worry, its' FREE!), but the butt pictures AND video are only available to VIP Members of Lavender Lounge.

HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN BUTT-PAINTING CONTEST: PREVIEW - JOIN

I am titling this blog entry "Halloween 2009 Part One" because it's my long standing tradition to dress up for Halloween several times during the Halloween season and there will probably be lots more amazing pictures to come. With that in mind, I decided at the last minute to save my good costume for next week and pulled out an alternate outfit instead. (I actually have plenty of costumes on hand that have never been seen before. ) It was a purple and silver vinyl Judy Jetson mini dress with a spikey wig that was black on one side and silver on the other. I called it "An 80's Version of a 50's Sci Fi Movie".

Last night was a private party at Steve and Ed's house. They're two nice boys who happen to be witches and they invited their coven to celebrate All Hallows Eve (a week early). The plan was to start early and then march down to the Castro as a group, which was fun. 

The boyfriend had been in Sister habit all day, then went home, washed it all off, then put on  a completely different face for the evening. He went as the gay character from Mad Men, Salvator Romano, but did Sal as a zombie. (He loves being a zombie.)

Last year for Halloween I went as a 70's porn star and stuck a sock in my pants. It was pretty obvious it was a sock in my pants, and I even told people it was a sock in my pants. With that said, it still amazes me how shallow gay men are! I got groped and fondled more I ever have in  my entire life - and it was a fake penis! So this year I decided to go all the way. I spent $80 on a leather harness to hold a strap-on dildo. The mini dress I wore flared out on it's own so you didn't even know there was a 9 inch hard cock underneath it, at least to the naked eye.

Part of my choice to wear a strap-on dildo under a dress was to conduct a social experiment. I have this theory that when it comes to big dicks, gay men have X-ray vision. Cock hounds can spot a big dick from across a crowded room, and if they are real size queens, it doesn't even matter what's attached to a big dick. The grossest looking guys with big dicks will always get more action than a cute guy with a small dick. I intend to prove my theory with this costume.

Sure enough, the first guy to notice me in costume crossing 18th and Castro said, "Hey, what's under that dress, baby?" My point was proven in the first five minutes, but it got better as the night went on. After a few drinks at the party, I introduced myself to the cutest guy there. Not only was he the cutest guy at the party, he also had a sexy French accent. In no time at all I had him sucking my rubber cock like a champ! To prove it was not a fluke, I let him do it a second time! I couldn't believe it! In normal circumstances, if I tried chatting up that hot French guy, he would have made small talk for just long enough to be polite and all the while looking over my shoulder for his chance to escape. But when you add a big dick to the mix, the whole situation changes.

After re-launching Lavender Lounge two weeks ago, I am now in the process of going through all my photos from the last ten years to add them to the site. LavenderLounge.com (this site) will be primarily focused on my Paparazzi Pictures, with sections devoted to Streetfair Skin, Barhopping Bare and Porn Star Parties.

Besides adding them to the new slideshow software, I will also spend the time to hand-select each photo to eliminate duplicates, out of focus shots, or just simply cut down the volume to present only the best shots. Some photo sets on my hard drive somehow fell through the cracks and never made it to the site, some got lost in the last web site upgrade three years ago, and others just need to be edited a bit.

The latest gallery I added to the site was from January of 2005. It was one of those Sundays that was unseasonably warm where everyone came out of their winter hibernation and headed to the Eagle Beer Bust and got drunk and rowdy in shirt sleeves - in January! I had no problem getting guys to take their shirts off, either.

It was sponsored by MuscleBearCub.com and we also had appearances from gay porn stars Arpad Miklos, Michael Brandon and Dick Wolf. Michael Brandon, always the trouper, helped with the raffle, and never misses and occasion to air out the "Monster". It started out innocently enough as he hung a big dildo out of his fly, and it went downhill from there.  But Michael Brandon was not the only one show his cock in public. As the Sisters went around measuring inseams to sell raffle tickets, plenty of guys took the opportunity to pull out their dick.

Friday night, Sister Mary Ralph held a fund raiser for her favorite charity, the AIDS Hospice at Laguna Honda Hospital. He worked with Anna Conda, our favorite club producer to do it at Charlie Horse at the Cinch.

Since the club is free admission, they needed to sell raffle tickets and Jello shots to raise money. They ended up bringing in $735! I guess people do love those Jello shots! Falcon Studios donated a prize package of 7 DVD's and Lavender Lounge donated DVDs of "Vintage Bareback: Hairy Muscle Daddy Collection".

I put a couple hundred pictures into a gallery at SisterZsaZsa.com, and don't worry, that site is FREE, so go ahead and click any one of the pictures to see the whole gallery.
