(Sexually transgressive gingerbread folk, so not to everyone’s taste. But massively silly.)
Well, you could eat them, but would you? Probably not, so it looks like they’re jokey folk art. I’m talking about gingerbread houses, in particular the 7 entrants in the 2023 on-line Gingerbread Competition, year 14, overseen by my old friend, the vagrant multinational (and enthusiastically gay) dancer-artist Matt Adams (hard to describe: when I first met him, he was a bartender at the Three Seasons fusion-Vietnamese restaurant up the street from my house in Palo Alto; now he lives with his husband Justin in the Netherlands), who is to be distinguished from the (straight but also admirable) Stanford-PhD linguist Matthew Adams, also of my acquaintance.
On to the winner, #3, and the runner-up, #7.
#3: Gingerbread Man Jizzes Same (and they’re both fuckin’ grinning).
(#1) My title; don’t blame Matt or the creators of #3
Facebook votes for #3 that came with explanatory comments:
— Patricio Deantas: Number 3!!! For all the Church lovers [AZ: note the cross; this is man-on-man sex at the church door, so it’s religiously transgressive as well as sexually transgressive]
— Aat Mulder: Nr 3 because of the gingerbreadman porn
— Lee Cumberbatch: Number 3 purely for the symmetry achieved with the red drips down the front of the church [AZ: fearing that those red drips are the blood of Christ, shed for our sins]
— Arnold Zwicky: Number 3 is definitely the most outrageous (not necessarily the most aesthetically pleasing), so it gets my vote.
— Pei Pei: 3. Sponsored by Swiss Navy? [AZ: a reference to Swiss Navy lubes, that is, sexual lubricants]
— Jeroen van Wonderen: A dirty mind is a joy forever…. So nr 3!!!
— Ceri Booth: Number 3. It’s a real ginger-bred house. [AZ: a reference to the gay slang verb breed ‘ejaculate inside the rectum during bareback anal sex’]
#7: The Happy Stripper. (Again, my title. From the display of gigantic breasts.)
(#2) The runner-up, with hair in ringlets and astounding ta-tas: a gingerbread man in drag, or a gingerbread woman?
