We freed it. How it got into a bucket in the downstairs bathroom – who knows!

Real Urban Cowboy…Really

He got onto his horse and he rode into the city. Hat, boots, bandana, duster, even spurs: this dude’s got it all. No event. He’s just riding through town. A sight seen in Willits, California. Hippies, cowboys, farmers, bikers in a Far West mix. In Mendocino County, a town with 5 stoplights qualifies as a city. Seriously. This is NorCal. Not LA. You know what they say…save a horse. Ride a cowboy!

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!

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.

Installations of objects, books and ephemera in a home office/studio. Phresh phallic cheese bread tastes as good as it looks…hot from the oven. Goes great with phallic zucchini. Slather with butter and enjoy!

Concrete Signage Seen: “Never go on trips with anyone you do not love” and more at the Mendocino Art Center

Posted on September 3, 2010 by gayhighwaymen | 4 comments

Names and words are inscribed on a concrete path at the Mendocino Art Center. Among perhaps hundreds of panels, maybe thousands of words; some “jump out at us” or “catch our eye.” Why? “Different readers…make different readings.”* We see what we want to see. See?
