Sign seen on Industrial Place just off Sunny Dunes, a gay strip in Palm Springs. Pope’s joint here seems to be a het titty bar. Who knew his holiness dabbled in such ventures? Interesting times.

Happy Friday the 13th, Stud!
Killer body, dude! This take-off on the Friday the 13th movies is publicity for CCBC, a clothing optional gay men’s resort in the desert. Cathedral City, adjacent to Palm Springs. Looks nice. Day passes are available. We usually stay at Chaps Inn.

The 15 is IN with The Leather Chaps at Chaps Inn in Palm Springs
“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.
