Beautiful SOMA Banksy – Hot Rat!

 

Banksy on 9th St. SF. Photo: Gay Highwaymen, Dec 2010.

Banksy! We snapped this shot on 9th St between Folsom and Harrison Streets in San Francisco’s SOMA (South of Market) district some time back. Popped up “just so” during last year’s run of Exit Through The Gift Shop.

Hey, B,…if you ever want to extend your marvelous marks into the rural fabulosity of NorCal, you are invited. Hospitality, anonymity, great groovy walls and other cool surfaces guaranteed!

WHAT Kind of Tongue?!

They say there’s one at the bottom of every garden. One at least, and a virtual gaggle in this one. Shot in the Botanical Gardens in Ft. Bragg, California.

Beatitude and Beat in NorCal: Saratoga Springs Nishikigoi Pond

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

California’s Saratoga Springs  used to be a stagecoach stop. That was way back in the 19th century day. Now it is a “retreat and conference center.” Yoga retreats, raves and weddings are part of the draw, but they also host Leather and S/m Club Runs. The 15 Association does the annual Boot Camp run every June. Leather Levi Weekend does a mixed ‘Twisted Summer Camp’ run in August, and this year, a new mens’ run called Gear Up premieres in late July.

All that hard play can be hard work, and the deeper it gets, the realer it becomes. From degradation to grace and back again, turning forever on itself like a mobius strip. Beat, Beat-Up, Beatitude: words to fly by from the jam-sweet lips of angel-headed hipsters.  Top or bottom, sometimes retreat is a good option. For those times, just outside the dungeon (aka The Heart Lodge) mildly hidden in the landscaping, a small magical nishikigoi (koi) pond waits. A rock ledge provides enough room for a semi-lotus, and a fine venue for adventures in ego dissolution. Flash of Orange. Take me…OM…country roads…splash sky water…gone.

No one was injured, but there was lots of excitement, and plenty of exciting firemen, EMTs, and onlookers on Castro Street Saturday night when a balcony BBQ caught fire. All’s well in the village. Kudos to the men of the SFFD!

Shooting Rich Trove!

Snap! Gotcha! Leather Community photographer Rich Stadtmiller has new photos of SF Pride’s Leather Contingent up on his Rich Trove site, here. For Gay Highwaymen photos of the kinky section of the parade, click here. For more photos of photographers and their big sexy cameras, click here.

On a Mission…surveilling Mormons!

Two Latter Day Saint boys walking in Willits, California. They could be walking to a gym, one to beef up the other to trim down. That would be a good idea. They could be walking to a motel, to check in and fuck each other silly. That would be great! But probably…they are just out to make more Mormons. Everybody needs a hobby. Messing with Jack Mormons is a good one! Surveilling Saints is another. For hunky shirtless Mormon men, visit Mormons Exposed, where you can buy a beefcake calendar called “Men on a Mission.” More soon…

Bun Boy Motel! Really.

Sights Seen at SF Pride: Cruising Sexy Big Cameras!

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

When we got the sexy new camera, we became aware of the subculture of  camera cruising. Peeps with BIG cameras check each other out. Seriously. We see each others cameras first, and only THEN the person behind it. Cruisy banter often ensues: “Yours is big, but mine is bigger!” Ahhh…the joys and terrors of scopophilia!
