Homage to Magritte
October 14, 2020On Facebook today, a Vadim Temkin gay male homage to the Belgian artist René Magritte and his 1937 painting La Reproduction Interdite (Not to be Reproduced):

Cocktail music
September 15, 2020Today’s morning name. Lounge music for the cocktail hour.
(#1) DJNTV’s (Disc Jockey News TV) Mobile Music with DJ Jason Jones features mobile DJs from around the country who are playing weddings, schools and bars to find out how and what they play and when they play it.
His banana Ana and his avocados Arnold
July 14, 2020(Rudely suggestive song taking off on the names of toys for infants, so sure to be offensive to some.)
Sighted by Ann Burlingham at a toy store in the Pittsburgh suburb of Oakmont (and posted on Facebook on 10/30/19), these “natural rubber teethers”, in a “fruits and vegetables series”:

Hot wings on a paper plate
July 12, 2020In my comics feed for the day, this One Big Happy from 6/15, featuring a Dad Tall Tale, DTT for short (here an elaborate poetic burlesque):

The original: Joyce Kilmer’s famous (and famously sentimental) poem “Trees” — also famously parodied, most notably in Ogden Nash’s “Song of the Open Road”.
Budgies on the roadside
July 5, 2020Two cartoons from March — I keep telling you I’m not on top of anything in my life — a One Big Happy from 3/3, about Ruthie and the name budgie; and a Zippy from 3/25, with “On the Roadside”, a burlesque of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road.
Nighthawks in a time of coronavirus
July 3, 2020Edward Hopper’s famous painting Nighthawks, like so much of his work, depicts poignant social disconnection; it also offers a cast of four characters in its bleak setting, which makes it an easy target for parody (by varying the nature of the characters). Meanwhile, the basic theme makes it easily available for symbolizing the way we live during the coronavirus.
Gay hedgehog
June 21, 2020A week before Stonewall Day (1969), this celebratory hedgehog:

The hedgehog army
We are the hedgehog army!
Rainbow flags are the weapons we wave
In the fight against prejudice, fear, and rejection.
Ready, aim, be brave!
Bad Chico
June 12, 2020(Nothing elevating here at all. Men’s bodies and mansex, not suitable for kids or the sexually modest.)
From the Falcon gay porn studios this morning, some underwear, with a caption of my own devising:

Gender presentations in Oz
June 4, 2020(Today’s posting showing that I’m Not Dead Yet. Tough day, the eve of my man Jacques’s death day, 17 years ago. Watching the funeral service for George Floyd. In a California heat wave.)
Recently in the (physical) mail, a pair of cards from Ann Burlingham from her last Australian visit. She saw them as a diptych, to be viewed in sequence. The cards are about, though she didn’t say this, the presentation of gender.
