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.
The outrageous Grace Towers has assumed the master of ceremonies duty at the Powerhouse SF’s weekly underwear expose, with a midnight $100 wet jockey short contest. It’s now called “Bulge”. I’ve been a number of times, it’s more fun than ten barrels of monkeys. Here’s the link for more info.

Here’s 2015 Bare Chest Calendar man LaGuan Lea Jr. He won the contest at the Jan 23, 2014 “Bulge” event. Here’s a hot hot hot link to his calendar cover pic.
It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it. May as well be Grace Towers, one of the busiest show girls in town.

What could be more fun than a bunch of gay men in underwear with squirt bottles at a wet jockey contest? Find out every Thursday night at the Powerhouse, a sleazy leather dive in San Francisco’s South of Market district.
Btw, digital downloads, prints, and more photo souvenirs and gifts of this event and many others available in the Event Galleries at Photojimsf’s Gift Shop.
Here’s my titillating YouTube experiment, a twenty five or so image slide show from the event, set to a snappy soundtrack from the YouTube audio exchange.
The contest ended in a tie between this big muscly hunk of Black man, R.C. Jenkins, and leatherman Chris Humphries, being man handled in the left background.
Here’s Beth Bicoastal! She’s inspecting the goods of go-go dancer and S&M pin cushion Phoenix Sun.
The heat is turned up to encourage cutie pies like this one to check in their clothes.
leather man Spike Pierce manned the coat check. I heard he passed away a few years ago, not long after this event.
La Monistat is a regular at the Powerhouse, and performs there occasionally.
Well we’ve reached the tail end of my post. These pictures are from the Powerhouse Underwear Party of 8-9-12. Click on any of them to see more of the squirting, flirting, boozing, cruising, and bamboozlings from the evening in my Event Gallery.
