Retail Sights Seen: San Francisco Shop Windows and Billboards
Sexy plastic mannequins show what they’re made of. Homoerotic subtexts sprout from Cerveza ads. Hung like a…rhino? Another one rides the bus. What IS that man looking at? Windows and signage seen around the City.

Guys Seen: Hobby Surveillance on the Streets of San Francisco
We live in a surveillance society. Facebook knows who you are. Video cameras are everywhere in the urban and suburban environments, and sprinkled throughout the rural and less developed areas. Truck stops. Eyes in the sky. Watching you. Watching me. Google Earth may have captured us for their street views. In front of your home, shopping, out with friends. How do you know that they haven’t? Corporate surveillance in retail environments is particularly pervasive, but ordinary citizens are routinely forbidden from shooting back. “No cameras” and “No Photography” signs sprout alongside image capture devices. Of course, photography is usually regulated in government buildings. Photography is an act of dominance. Who can shoot who, doing what, where and why? We are engaged in a high-stakes game of scopophilic tag. And these days, everyone’s got a camera. Gotcha!

The Last of the Sexy Happy New Year Posts
One more, this one from friend of this site George Wong, who was also the source of the ever-popular Veterans Day Mermen. Other New Years 2011 posts are here and here.
Happy Sexy Italian Yaoi Bara New Year! Gai Ragazzi Comi.
It’s not such a small world, after all. This ciao! to the new year is from Awakening Art, the site of an Italian illustrator who makes, collects and promotes gay erotic comics and illustrations. Many, like this one, are influenced by the Japanese manga genres of Yaoi, or boy’s love, and Bara, or Gai Comi, which features older, tougher characters and scenarios. The term Bara probably came from Bara Kei or Ordeal by Roses, the title of a 1961 book of semi-nude images of gay author Yukio Mishima by photographer Eikoh Hosoe. Barazoku was the first mainstream gay magazine in Asia, and began publication in 1971. And since the 1980s, the term bara-eiga or rose film has been used to describe gay cinema. Look forward to some genuine Japanese Bara on this site in 2011. Meantime, open up, enjoy the ride…and pop a cork! Ciao!
Happy New Year from seminal Leather Artist Etienne!
Happy New Year! Everyone knows seminal Leather artist Tom of Finland, but there were a lot of other artists who were his contemporaries and who worked in a similar vein. One of the other stars was “Etienne” – the nom d’art of Chicago-based Leatherman Dom Orejudos. Read Durk Dehner’s article on his work at the website of the Leather Archives and Museum. Tom and Dom had a mutual admiration society as artists, and maintained a correspondence. And The Texan recalls that back in the day Etienne was “a big old bottom.” Here’s his rendition of a very festive holiday party. Bottoms up and best to All in the New Year!
Other sexy holiday posts from the past year: Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving, World Aids Day and Christmas.

Fresh Foot Traffic: Got Boots?
Boots. What other item of foot ware pulls such partisan support, draws such devotees, fosters such fans? Polished, dirty, engineer, cowboy, motorcycle. Leather. Boots. These boots were made for walking. These boots were made for licking. These boots were made for dancing on the head of a pin. Got Boots? Post Pics in GH comments!

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!
