2007 Folsom Street Photo Round Up

Posted October 2, 2007 1:02 PM by with 22 comments

folsom_2007_photo_review.jpgA massive hangover courtesy of the Raging Stallion party (where Steve Cruz and Roman Ragazzi were named co-Men Of The Year) prevented me from attending the actual Folsom Street Fair this year, but had I known Barrett Long and Pierre Fitch were in attendance (proof of Folsom’s widening influence), i might have actually made it out.

If any of you have ever been to Folsom, you know that for every half-naked leather daddy walking around, there are, like, ten photographers swarming around him … very convenient for when I need to phone it in…

    It’s so funny to see all those queens in their “straight-acting” gorilla suits!

    Gosh
    What happened to clean cut, boy next door, jock, masculine gay porn models? This is a San Francisco freak show of sick guys, covered with tattoos, and buck teeth. The gay porn world needs to move back to Los Angeles. YUCK!

    The best gay studios are still based in LA.

    I was at Folsom this past weekend. I’ll admit it can be suffocating, but personally I’d much rather have this in my backyard than the last city I lived in (Atlanta, where everyone was an A&F clone and wore Izod shirts with collars crisply turned up at the neck).

    I included a URL for a pic I got of Darius Falke at the Titan tent (click my username for the link). If he falls into the category of the “San Francisco freak show of sick guys, covered with tattoos, and buck teeth,” then I feel I’m in much better company.

    So, it’s basically anything that goes to the gym that’s noteworthy? Dear oh dear.

    Oh because every gay dude is a queen, right? Just because you’re a big ol’ queen doesn’t mean that every other gay man is one too. Sorry.

    6:47,

    You just revealed that YOU are.

    Ha! Is your gorilla suit zipped up? Probably not.

    Silly queen.

    I don’t know about the person who wrote that first post but I’m a “big ol’ queen” and proud of it.

    I can just imagine the idiot who wrote:

    “Oh because every gay dude is a queen, right? Just because you’re a big ol’ queen doesn’t mean that every other gay man is one too. Sorry.”

    He wears board shorts, a baseball cap that he’s put in a coffee mug so the bill is rounded (don’t want to stand out from the others)and a graphic T-shirt whenever possible. In fact, he probably just goes to Abercrombie & Fitch and buys the whole outfit at once. He cultivates his vacant expression and protects his staggering ignorance because being stupid makes him seem more butch. Talk about your “gorilla suit!”

    I mean really, he actually used the word “dude” without irony! Saddest part of all – he’s probably well into his forties and as flaming as can be after a few drinks.

    Have we come to this?!

    I’d be willing to bet that “You don’t know me!” would be yelled at some point were this an actual conversation. That seems to be the all-purpose rejoinder of the angry yet inarticulate.

    Aye, who cares who is at Folsom. It is an exhbition fair, and now more so a place for the porn companies to display their products. So what if there are A/F type in harnesses or big hairy muscle daddies that like pig gooses, Folsom has been an anthing goes event. Part of anything gose means that you don’t have to view who is there.

    The MORON who posted @ 11:22 PM,
    First off you idiot, I didn’t state that I wasn’t a queen in the first place. If I am, so what? That’s not the point. And don’t worry about my gorilla suit honey. Worry about your mom’s panties you happen to be wearing, ok. You obviously must have had a big ol’ wedgie when you were typing.

    And to BigOl’Queen,
    You’re an even bigger moron. And I LOVE the fact that you had me all figured out like that. Brilliant. It proves that you’re quite “angry yet inarticulate” as well. But sad and bitter bitches are complete hypocrites, right? And I loved this sad quote – “I mean really, he actually used the word “dude” without irony! Saddest part of all – he’s probably well into his forties and as flaming as can be after a few drinks.”
    I say “dude” all of the time! LOL!!!! So fucking what? Straight people own those words?! Jesus, you are pathetic as hell. LMAO! And I’m not quite in my forties yet, sorry. And whether or not I’m a big ol’ flamer after a few drinks should be irrelevant to you. You wouldn’t have a chance in hell anyways, not that I would want you anywhere near me to begin with. Plus I doubt you’re the type who go to bars. Public toilets seem to be more your thing, right? I doubt you’re a bil ol’ queen and proud like you say you are. You don’t even seem to be the type who has any balls whatsoever to be an out and proud queen. Now is this where you squeal “You don’t know me you queeeeen!!!!!!” lol Idiot.

    I have nothing against queens or femmes or anything like that. And it doesn’t hurt my feeling if you think I am or not. Did I say I was butch or masculine at all in the first place? No!

    1:27’s post speaks for itself but allow me to editorialize just a tad.

    They say one should always begin a positive note so let me congratulate him for disproving at least one stereotype. He’s shown everyone that not all gay people (assuming he is gay, of course)are well educated or even literate. Consider his rant. It was tantamount to “I know you are but what am I?!” Perhaps a writing course would help.

    In the meantime, he might want to rethink whether or not those schoolyard turns of phrase he uses go with crow’s feet and sun damaged skin.

    “Your mother’s panties…”?
    “…anyways”?
    “Dude”?

    He sounds like one of those people whom we pray doesn’t come to our dinner party. He’s a friend of that dear friend who promised he wouldn’t bring people like that to our house ever again. Once there, he talks while his mouth is full, sits cross-legged on the sofa and spends the better part of the evening insisting that Transformers The Movie was “awesome.”

    He is, in short, an embarrassment to the community

    Um, BigOl’Queen, I suggest you re-read 6:47/1:27’s response to the initial moronic, generalizing post. He wasn’t initially insulting big queens, if anything he was defending those attending Folsom in saying that not all of them are Nellies in butch drag, which they aren’t.

    Nice change of subject. Kudos.

    And yes, Roman is hot. Verrrry much so. I think we can all agree on that, at least.

    Jack,

    Maybe you should read that idiot’s post again.

    I’ll give you that he’s not very articulate but that’s really no excuse.

    If you aren’t convinced by your reread then you should review his subsequent comments. They only serve to illustrate his disdain for “queens” as well as his intellectual and social shortcomings.

    I don’t know about you but I’m tired of this little class drama. I don’t even speak to that sort in real life (except maybe to order dinner or sign for a package) so I don’t see the point in arguing with that element online.

    Bye

    Please let’s learn to love one another. Queen is an inappropriate term for a guy. Let’s begin calling each other Kings. This is where I love can begin.

    CJ,

    Go fuck yourself. If YOU don’t like being called a queen then don’t call yourself one but DON’T tell others what they should be called, bitch!
