Sidewalk lust.
More man (boy?) lust graffiti. I haven’t seen Jaime to my knowledge, so I can’t attest to it’s accuracy, but since I seem to be documenting lust today, I thought this fit well.
Seen in front of Cesar’s Cafe on Valencia Street.

Early morning lust…
I found this graffiti on the side of my building’s call box this morning. Booty call? Not exactly street art, but perhaps something close, if viewed in the right light. I suppose this is one way of giving voice to your desires, though perhaps not the most effective…

How to Wear a Dress Like a Man
Oops… I mean, a SARONG, not a dress.
Kabuki Springs (the Japanese baths in San Francisco is apparently worried that its male customers will feel insecure in their masculinity if they are expected to wear the same garment as the women who come there. So to compensate, Kabuki offers the male-sounding title of “Court Classic.” Humorous directions for achieving this style include such masculinity-affirming suggestions as “spread your legs wide” and “breathe.”
Seen in the locker room at Kabuki Springs and Spa in Japantown SF, which I highly recommend…the baths, that is. (Tuesday is coed; Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays are men-only, clothing-optional nights.)

Grab some what?
Seeing this advertisement, with fit male baseball players’ crotches at eye level, beer was not the first kind of “bud” I thought they were suggesting that I grab. Nor did I think of “buddies.” A friend from Mendocino thought of green buds when he saw this. Quadruple entendre? Maybe even quintuple?
Seen at South Van Ness and Division Streets in SF.
