Pink Saturday 2006

I can't believe how disorganized I am sometimes!

A few years ago I had the creative urge to do paparazzi photos at all the annual big gay events. I used to shoot hundreds of pictures of cute guys at Pride, Pink Saturday, etc., and the other day, I decided to take a little inventory. Come to find out there are a lot of pictures missing from the VIP Room. This site has gone through so many re-designs, I can never seem to catch up.

So today I am taking a few minutes to re-edit and upload some missing photos from Pink Saturdays past. I just finished adding Pink Saturday 2006. (I don't even remember that year, good thing I have photos!) I also narrowed it down to just the best photos, so if you have a VIP Membership, take a look in the "Street Fairs" section of the VIP Room. If you've never been to San Francisco for Pride, this will give you an idea what you're missing, if you are from here, you may see your friends looking stupid while drunk!

Leslie Ann Warren Makes A Grand Entrance

I shot this video of the the Leslie Ann Warren Tribute at the Castro Theatre this past Valentine's Day. I shot the video of Leslie Ann Warren's grand entrance, and the producer, Marc Huestis, put together this video. It combined clips from her famous movies, and the autograph signing before the show.

Don't miss the next big event at the Castro, Justin Bond with a live orchestra performing his new album. Saturday, April 9.Click here for tickets.

Who Drives This Sexy Car?


A few weeks ago I saw this Pontiac Bonneville parked in front of the Powerhouse. Yes, I was a little drunk and stoned but this low slung late 50's customized Batmobile looked like the sexiest car I had ever seen. (I was drunk, okay.)

It had flat black paint and chrome pointy things coming out of the hubcaps. But the hottest thing about it was that the owner purposely left all the windows down. I kinda pictured the owner as a slouchy rockabilly guy with tattoos all up his arms and slicked back hair who does everything with a swagger. Fuck car alarms! If someone wants to steal something, fuckin' take it, just don't break the windows, they can't be replaced!

Now, tell me which is a hotter male image this guy and his car or leather clone driving a Prius?

Erik Rhodes And I

This shot came from a porn convention I attended last year in Phoenix and it was sent to me a few weeks ago from John Karr (movie reviewer for Karrnal Knowledge). Karr was all excited cause he thought I got to touch Erik Rhodes cock. Well, the truth is it was just a rubber cock. They were passing out pizza at a cocktail party and used a dildo as decoration. I told Erik Rhodes to grab the dildo and stick it in his pants and somebody apparently took this picture.

When the picture arrived a year later, I had to think about it cause I didn't even remember the situation at first. It all soon came back to me, but it probably wouldn't be that difficult to touch Erik Rhodes penis for real. A little bit of coaxing and about $400 is all you'd need to do that.

I am off to the same convention in Phoenix tomorrow. It's expected to be 100 degrees on Friday! There will probably be a lot of chances to see naked flesh with that hot weather!

Looking Back: Porn Star Pool Party 2001

Bad Boys Pool Party

Bad Boys Pool Party

They are predicting snow in San Francisco today or tomorrow for the first time since 1976. I grew up in snow country, and it does not feel like snow weather, so I'm not holding my breathe. However, I'm sure there are a dozen freelance photographers sleeping in their car at the top of Twin Peaks hoping to capture that 30 seconds of light dusting on the ground at 5am so they can sell those photos to the Chronicle.

With this talk of winter weather, I decided to dig through some old photos of summer weather to cheer you up. I added a set of photos from the Porn Star Pool Party in LA from way back in 2001. Ten fucking years ago!

The Porn Star Pool Party later became known as the Bad Boys Pool Party, started by Will Clark. They began at backyard pools around LA and later moved to big private residence in Palm Springs. It was an event I looked forward to every year, but it ended sadly a few years ago due to complaints from the neighbors about noise.

So what is Will Clark up to these days? Me moved to New York a few years ago and established himself as an event promoter with parties like Porno Bingo and Bad Boys On The Hudson. Check his website for details. WillClarkWorld.com

I wish I could think of the names of porn stars that were there, but it has been 10 years and I never wrote them down at the time. Hopefully, one of the fans of this site will help me out. That's why there are Comments available on this site!

I just added a small gallery of photos from the 2001 Pool Party to the VIP Room in the Porn Star section. There is also a much larger gallery from the 2005 Pool Party when I had a much better camera, too.

Halloween 2010

{auto}halloween2010.xml{/auto}

I had a really fun Halloween season this year. I lost count how many times I dressed up this year - let me think - there was the Zombie Doctor, the Zombie Empress (twice), a couple nuns, a giant muscular bodybuilder... no wait, that was a daydream, not a Halloween costume!

 

I spent the night before Halloween at Truck and this video came from there. Not my best work, but I was busy having fun, so fuck it. Enjoy.

 

Oh, and the Giants just won the World Series! Helicopters have been flying over all evening, then I started hearing car horns and fireworks. Took me a while to figure out what all the commotion was all about!

Folsom Fair Photos 2010

Folsom Street Fair Folsom Street Fair Folsom Street Fair

 

Once again my buddy Bill Weaver came through with some incredible photos from Folsom Street Fair 2010. He knows exactly what kind of guys I like and how to pose them. This time however, I split them up between two of my sites. I put all the guys who look like Muscle Bear Cubs in the VIP Room at that site and I put all the gay porn stars, twinks, nuns, drag queens and freaks in the VIP Room at Lavender Lounge. If you have a VIP Membership to any of my sites, the passwords are good at all of them.

Folsom Street Fair

Hello christian wackos! There are tons of obscene, disgusting, vile, perverted photos from Folsom Street Fair available right now in the VIP Room of Lavender Lounge! The pictures go all the way back to 2000, so there is plenty of sinning going on to rattle your cage! Buy a membership, show the pictures to your church group and pray for our mortal souls (just make sure you pay for a membership!)

More Pictures from Folsom Street Fair 2000-2009

Folsom Street Fair

I probably have even more photos of the early days of Folsom Street Fair, but I started to take it seriously in 2000. For some reason I wasn't motivated to shoot pictures in 2001, but I have a fantastic archive of photos from 2002 - 2009. I just finished adding them to the VIP Room, along with some major whittling down and editing to only present the best photos.

 

For instance, as often as possible, I segregated shots of drag queens and Sisters because, well, it's hard to sell that on a gay porn site! As a result, if you see a drag queen or nun, it's got to be an awesome photograph! Otherwise, it's all gorgeous men with very little clothing, if any.

 

In anticipation of the 2010 Folsom Street Fair next week, they are now all available to VIP Members of Lavender Lounge. Look in the Street Fair Skin section.

Dore Alley - Up Your Alley 2010

Fellow paparazzi photographer Bill Weaver dropped off a disc of his photos from Dore Alley 2010 last night. For him, photos are just a hobby and he loves to share his photos. He walks around street fairs with a camera bag full of prints that he gives to people he likes. What a saint!

I put about 188 of his photos in the VIP Room (sorry, I need to make a living...) and you can view that set as well as tens of thousands of photos from me and various porn studios for as little as $10.

As you go through the pictures, keep track of how many gay porn stars you can spot and post the names to the Comments. (Maybe I'll offer a prize...)
