Homeboy Art! Hector Silva at Tom of Finland Fair in WeHo
Friend of this site Hector Silva will be showing and selling his erotic “Homeboy Art” at the Tom of Finland Foundation’s 16th annual Art Fair. The Gay Highwaymen recently had dinner with Hector and his partner Napoleon at La Casita restaurant in Bell. Of course, snaps were shot. On our next LA trip, we will make a studio visit. Hector is a remarkable artist who is beginning to get the critical attention his work deserves, and collectors should pick up his work while it is still affordable. The Fair takes place Saturday, March 26th at the West Hollywood Park at 647 N. San Vicente Blvd. West Hollywood, California. Noon until 6pm.

“This is where the Men stay!” They like us and we like them. Ian and Stewart, the two English chaps behind the punnishly named Chaps Inn in Palm Springs run a great desert get-away for Leathermen, bears and other masculine gay men. Salt water pool, spa, St. Andrew’s cross, slings, cage, lots of hooks and lots of kinky hot naked friendly men doing what we do in the desert sun. The chaps blogged about The 15 Association’s annual August mini-run here.

Euriamis Losada sings the Impossible Dream – more than just the Gay Gain Guy!
One man…scorned and covered with scars. What a great line. Gay actor and singer Euriamis Losada gives another meaning to the classic Impossible Dream. Losada is originally from Miami and now lives in Los Angeles. His acting credits include Che and Another Gay Sequel, but he says that mostly, when he is recognized in public, it is from a Gain detergent commercial. Losada also sings with the LA Gay Mens Chorus. Good luck to him in his career. LA will eat actors alive, and this one is certainly tasty enough to temp a bite. Magnifico!

Smuggling songbirds up another man’s pants? OC man pleads guilty.
Duc Le of Garden Grove has plead guilty and faces up to five years in prison for smuggling exotic songbirds from Vietnam. The LA Times reports that his co-defendant, Sony Dong, apparently the brains of the bird smuggling business, faces up to 20 years. Dong plead guilty last year after authorities discovered 14 songbirds strapped to his legs on a flight from Vietnam to Los Angeles. The birds, which survived the trip, would have brought $400 each on the black market. Another 51 birds were found at Le’s home. AP photo.
