thornyc turned me on to design_observer, the daily feed that looks at various web happenings in the design world. Today their top item is this link:
http://www.gayontherange.com/a-z/
I imagine that it will become the basis for many many user icons.
So thank you thor!
UPDATE:
And now some bored photoshopping has resulted in this:
rough, but there you have it
Thanks again Thor!
done and done
thanks
Don Holliday was the pen name for Victor Banos(?), who was the property manager at Casa Sanchez Apartments for many years. I was one of his tenants, and told me about his career in the 1960s of writing those books, and how he didn’t make much money off of them. Since the publisher was out of business, he was reclaiming the copyright and planned on doing some sort of anthology in his retirement, or somesuch. He actually engaged me in some proofreading and minor editing of the ones that he was able to re-type.
AHAHAHA.
Dungaree Jungle.
You picked one that I was thinking about!
What’s weird to me is how many of these I own…
I just had to have that one it spoke to me
the punny names are killing me.
i love design observer! thanks for the feed, nayland.
I’ve swung from those trees
Only 2 questions
But, for the most part, there goes my Wednesday! Thanks!
Where do you buy these? I’ve never seen anything like ’em. I’m woefully ignant about pre-70s gay culture.
ROTFLPMP!!!
Thank you, Nayland!
Oooo! Oooo! Do a cereal box for Bull Nuts!! (“hard as nails…and gay as they came!”
In your neck of the woods try Aardvark on Church or The Magazine – they turn up on ebay alot these days too – but many used bookstores will have a few around.
I noticed that one and thought that could use it more than I could
thanks for the link to that syndicated feed.
OK, that was priceless. So many of the covers made it look like a mad scientist had cloned Paul Lynde and created a scary, gay master race bent on world domination. This one in particular.
An unhealthy dose of self-loathing permeates a lot of these. This one and this one for example. Oh sure, we can laugh at it now.
However can i repay you for this!
sweet!!
Hi there! I just saw that you added me to your friends list — how, pray tell, did you find me?
Through a comment you made on‘s blog. I hope it’s not an imposition…
Not at all — I just am curious to know where people find me from.
