eBay Jocks?

No, not THIS kind….


I'm looking for help - I have a LOT of rare and valuable stuff, stored carefully for decades, but my ignorance of eBay's culture has left me pretty bruised and screwed too many times. The big-city sharpies see me coming from miles away! I'd like some help navigating the path toward finally liquidating my stock.  Any coaches out there? Email me at papatony AT mac DOT com.

First ‘San Diego Leather Fetish Ball’ to be held Saturday, Oct. 5 - News about Mr. San Diego Eagle 2013 Robb Rodd's Leather Fetish Ball.  It's a BIG deal! Here is the audio of his full description about the event.

WEDNESDAY'S AUDIO IS NOW POSTED: August 28, 7PM: "Forbidden Orgasms: Barebacking, Bug-Chasing, Drugs, Brown Hankies, (Fill In The Blank)." I also linked to inexpensive sources for the recommended books that were mentioned.


Visible Bodies: Transgender Narratives Retold - Our local transgender brothers and sisters have been part of this project, which is deeply admirable - Telling our truth, fully and openly is the best, dependable way to raise the level of understanding in the world. It's well-worth donating to their project.  Trans folks are FAR more likely to be bashed than anyone else, and long-term understanding and communication can make all of the difference.  A lot of the folks involved are admirable friends and associates of mine.

As they delve into Hollywood’s gay power world, guns are shot, bodies drop and the two find themselves in one hot gay mess but remain determined to uncover the culprits. Hot Guys with Guns has a script that pops with gay wit and cultural references (“Cops? I am a black man in east L.A. with a dead Mexican on the floor with no head, we can’t call the cops!” as well as a memorable cast of supporting actors (Joan Ryan as Pip’s needy and boozy mom, Trey McCurley as Pip’s red headed boy toy, Alan Blumenfeld as Jimmy, the hard-nosed P.I. instructor, and Darryl Stephens as a friend with a dark secret.
