The Robot and the Lifeguard

20120310-183921.jpg
Watercolor Robot circa 2010 by Richard Bolingbroke. Paired with a nice Saturday Evening Post cover of nearly a century earlier. The humpy lifeguard is supposed to be guarding those drowning flappers, but he’s got eyes for something – or someone – very different!

Wow. How do you even get that Thing up?!! Tall Unicycle boy seen on Market Street…

Vintage Coolness: Hot Mounties and K9 Crew

20120307-192951.jpgWoof, woof, woof, woof and woof! Oh…and the Canadian Mounted Police aren’t a bad-looking pack, either!

Enemy Upstairs! Get on his Tail…

20120307-185250.jpg
It looks like this flyboy is wearing a dog collar and leash! He’s not. At least not in this image. From a WWII era Collier’s Magazine advertisement selling the latest in sound technology: the throat microphone. Can’t make yourself heard over the engine noise and machine gun fire? No more! The Western Electric throat microphone helps win battles!

This athletic little creature was sighted on Market Street in San Francisco. Just horsing around, hanging out. Nearby DLX Skate Shop is like a watering hole, drawing skater boys from around the bay to this strip of mid-Market, east of Castro. More hot skater boy stuff here. Photos Gay Highwaymen, 2012.

California Rock Ant

20120305-104007.jpg
The California Rock Ant has its origins in the low desert around Palm Springs, but it has been sighted as far north as Mendocino County. Normally a docile species, it can be a bit jumpy around strangers, and is not a suggested pet for those who currently reside in glass houses.

Happy Fuckin’ National Pig Day!

Oink! Better late than next year. Friend of this site Jake Hale tips us off to this obscure holiday. He got the word from Sister Piggy Sue of the Palm Springs Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. And she should know! Comic Strip Ap montage by Gay Highwaymen. For more fuckin’ pigs click here.

What IS a Spiny Lumpsucker anyway?

20120302-211256.jpg
Sounds like a slur, and maybe it is. Spherical. Warty. Big sucker on its belly. The thing on the lower left. For more real (less surreal) discussion of trash-talk, check out black pony slave interviews here and here. And for some commentary slash vague philosophy about defectives, here.

Happy 32nd Anniversary to the 15 Association!

20120226-122127.jpg
The west coast’s premier private club for men into S/m and Leathersex turns thirty-two years old this weekend. That is older than some of our members. The club is celebrating with a gala dinner on Friday night and a weekend of parties in San Francisco. Thanks to the Italian American Social Club for providing a wonderful venue for the dinner…it really took the Cake!
