Happy Pride. This vintage moment is from the Gay Freedom Day parade of 1986. I guess back then freedom was more important than pride.
Pictured is Joe Smith, wearing a MEN’S room sign headress and not much else.
Joe died a few years later from HIV, one of dozens more pictured during happier times in my upcoming photo exhibit “Black And White Nostalgia”.
It’s at STRUT SF, July 2019. Opening reception is Friday July 12.

This gorgeous man was walking arm-in-arm with an attractive lady friend at gay pride 2012.
There were several other women with them, so I asked the entire group if they would pose for a snapshot.
The women were delighted, and quite rambunctious if not inebriated.
After about a dozen shots, I summoned the nerve to ask “the handsome man” for a few more shots by himself.
Only briefly hesitant, he stepped right up to the challenge, his rowdy posse cheering him on.
He put his hat and sunglasses on, but I guess that wasn’t what I was focusing on.
This image is heavily altered. I had almost as much fun manipulating it as when I originally took the photo.
You can see the original unaltered version, and hundreds more like him in my virtual gallery:

Bebe Sweetbriar and Tony Leo were crowned king and queen at Gary Virginia’s epic Mardi Gras show and fundraiser for the AIDS Housing Alliance. Celebrants enjoyed go-go Jason Medina, and Oakland’s SambaFunk! Funkquarians. You can see my original assignment in the nightlife section of EdgeSanFrancisco.com.
Jason Medina, famous for his appearances in Andrew Christian underwear advertisements. More juicy pics of Jason at the end of the post.
Frank Fanucchi, aka Turk Mason. Also famous for underwear modeling, and adult videos.

What a scrumptious morsel. I’ll take the whole enchilada with extra cheese, please.
Do you enjoy looking at gorgeous men in skimpy little nothings as much as I do? I’ve curated a scandalous selection on Amazon.com (yes I’m an affiliate). Why not gift yourself, your man, (or your private dancer?) with a sexy pair of underwear? You’d be surprised at what’s shown nowadays, especially if you move the mouse over the crotch area for a magnified view, lol.
