Boys Can Wear What?

If it were 70 years ago, this onesie I spotted would not make a radical statement since pink used to be seen as masculine. For a suprising history of pink, check out a Colour Lovers timeline or the article How the Colour Pink Lost Its Masculinity.

Tasty Excerpt from “Saint: A.M.” by Dave Bob Spinner

I ripped this out of an old Poet’s Market book in the 1980s and held onto it just for this moment.

James Franco Has a Penis Nose

Here’s a look at James Franco’s new boyhood and adolescent sexuality-focused exhibit (and first solo art show) at New York City’s Clocktower Gallery. The Dangerous Book Four Boys includes a video in which he wears a penis on his nose and some assemblages which call to mind the show Hoarders.

Performers crave the EGOT, shorthand for winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. Rita Moreno has done so for instance. I propose the Franco, a fifth award for wearing a penis on your nose in service of art. Rita Moreno, who starred in the male prison drama Oz, could easily be awarded a retroactive Franco.

Penises have meaning beyond the obvious. I dig his work.

Kirk in Bondage Gear

Some people shoot flowers. I photograph giant egos (Shatner) in miniature plastic (mass production) carefully altered by a twisted mind (friend).
