The Munchkin and the Giants: Keenan Cahill meets The Beard
Big balls on this little man and a bigger beard on his buddy. 16 year old YouTube star Keenan Cahill hams it up Dynamite lip-synch style with the infamous Giants pitcher Brian Wilson and cute fielder Cody Ross. And a furry. Bizarre! Cahill lives bravely with Maroteaux–Lamy syndrome, a condition that severely stunts his growth. Wilson lives bravely with the adulation and derision of millions. For a great clip of him with his leathery pal The Machine, click here. Wilson and Ross will be hosting “Dynamite: A Fundraiser for Keenan Cahill” during the game against the Florida Marlins on May 25. Information here.

Hot Maundy Thursday on Folsom
Maundy Thursday is the movable feast that commemorates the last supper of Jesus Christ. Folsom Street Events is well known for its controversial posters – among other things. They topped themselves in 2007 with their depiction of a Last Supper attended entirely by perverts. Leathermen, queens, doggie-boys and bootblacks. A scandal ensued, natch. The Catholic League in particular was perturbed. No link to them: don’t need those particular pingbacks! For surprisingly sexy Palm Sunday processionals, click here.

Fukya! New from JoJo Mendoco. Cali Mangaka. G-Men inspired Leathersex Art.
Fukya! JoJo Mendoco c2011
“Let’s enjoy G-Men’s way.” New from JoJo Mendoco. This one is directly inspired by the Japanese G-Men series. Mainly manga for gay men, G-Men focuses on Bara (Bears), Gaten-Kai (Blue-Collar Men) and other masculine types. G-Men features photographic material as well as cartoons and personal ads. Mangaka (manga artist) Gengorah Tagame is a driving force behind this hot series. More on him soon. Very visual in its impact, no reading knowledge of Japanese is needed to enjoy G-Men’s way!

Competitive Timbersports! Hot Lumberjacks work the Wood.
These lumberjacks look okay to us! They can come work on our trees anytime. Timbersports is the lumberjack version of rodeo: a competitive event to show off working skills. Surprising that there seems to be no gay competitive timbersports team. After all…Timbersports!? And Lumberjacks are certainly iconic enough. Touko Laaksonen, known as Tom of Finland, certainly thought so…

The Beast in Me…
…is caged by frail and fragile bonds. Nick Lowe’s quiet, intense, acoustic analysis of his own shadow. Not gay per se, but it does speak to Leather aesthetics and spirituality. We should all be so well-acquainted with our own beasts. Another quiet intense man, Johnny Cash “The Man in Black” covered it here. Careful of the quiet ones. And keep the restraints handy.

Can you hear me NOW? I’m Gay. The Verizon Guy is coming out!
After nine years in a corporate closet, Paul Marcarelli is coming out as gay. The horn-rimmed spokesman for Verizon talked to Spencer Morgan of The Atlantic about the contract that has sealed his lips for the past decade. It had what amounted to a no self-outing clause. Anonymous mascots are not supposed to have lives that could publicly detract from the characters they play. And being gay is still good dish, way too juicy for the bean-counters to risk. Homophobia blurs with the bottom line. Marcarelli’s catch phrase “Can You Hear Me Now?” will certainly go down in the history of TV advertising slogans – along with other pervertable classics such as: “Where’s the Beef?” “Don’t Squeeze the Charmin'” and “You’re soaking in It.” Marcarelli is currently in post-production on The Green, a film he wrote and co-produced and which focuses on a small-town gay couple who become embroiled in a scandal. Look forward to it on the festival circuit. The Atlantic article is available here.

Another Giant Lumberjack on US 101
Icons often outlast their inspirations. Lumber and fishing long since gave way to wine and weed in California’s Mendocino County. This restaurant mascot lumberjack walks roadside forever in Willits. And he’s not the only giant lumberjack on the 101: here is another.
