It's a shame Morning Goods Bads Josh Peters didn't want to be on a "stupid gay site," huh? Now you guys, our insatiable readers, are deprived some much needed eye-candy.

Never fear, however, because French photographic duo Exterface recently released another fetching photo shoot. This one's called "Flamme" and stars a handsome, hairy model named Jordan.

See more pics here!


We'd show more pictures of French photographic duo Exterface's latest offering, "Ether," but there's cock in almost every shot. It is, as they say, not safe for work.

Born and bred in New York City, educated at Philips Andover Academy and with a comparative literature degree from Yale, one may assume performance artist Tyler Coburn's pedigree could work against him. The art world does, after all, appreciate a bit of scrappiness in its up-and-comers, rather than a well-groomed dandy like Coburn. And with three group shows this summer alone, Coburn's definitely up-and-coming.

Whether his rarefied attitude's inherent or not, the twenty-five year old is definitely up to playing the upper-crust part. “I rowed crew and shopped for corduroy blazers with elbow patches,” says Coburn of his Andover days. “If I hadn’t played the part I don’t think I would have gotten the full experience.” And it's that sense of performance - all-encompassing, compulsory - that makes Coburn's work an experience in and of itself.

There are treasure troves of art and there are castles full of priceless antiques…and then there's The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

We’re not telling you anything new, of course. Taking up more than one city block, holding court on 79th street, above Central Park, and featured in countless media, almost everyone in the Western world has caught wind of the Met. We were a little surprised, then, that the venerable institution held an after-hours party exclusively for the gays, complete with top shelf booze, Britney Spears remixes and loads of attractive young gents. And, as the pink icing, they managed to wrangle out City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, around whom a flurry of security and lackeys swooned. So, what gives?

"Seattle Opera is looking to build its audience by reaching out to lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender music fans. The arts organization announced three LGBT Nights at McCaw Hall during the upcoming 2008-09 season. At these designated performances, patrons may pay $100 for discounted main-floor orchestra seating, private intermission receptions (with wine, hors d'oeuvres and desserts) and admission to preshow lectures. The inaugural event — an Aug. 22 presentation of "Aida" — will be hosted by Seattle Opera trustee JJ McKay and Washington state Sen. Ed Murray." [Seattle Times]

French photographic duo Exterface turn their poetic lens on porn star François Sagat for a new spread entitled "Muse." Trust that it's giving us loads of inspiration - and also trust that the shoot's not so safe for work.

"A Russian spa town has unveiled a monument to enema treatments in the guise of an 800-pound bronze syringe bulb held up by three angels. 'There is no kitsch or obscenity,' said the spa's director, Alexander Kharchenko. 'An enema is almost a symbol in our region.'" [NY Post]

Mexico City's quite the artistic hub - even their metro stations are brimming with it! Blogger Daniel Hernandez tells us that various stations have permanent and temporary exhibits for the "working man's museum" - and some of the shows are getting gay:

These are images from "Familias Mexicanas," currently on view at metro Centro Medico, a transfer point for Lines 3 and 9. It is a series of photographs by Oscar Sanchez doumenting same-sex couples in the capital, in their domestic spaces.

In the image above are Alfonso and Ruben, who according to the exhibit materials first met when Ruben was 11 and Alfonso was 18. Seven years later they ran into each other on the train, and immediately became a couple. They're in an "open relationship," hence the guy in the middle. Also, I noticed they're both wearing the Star of David.

Jews in Mexico?! You learn something new everyday…

A new series of portraits by conceptual photographer Sam Taylor-Wood features some of Hollywood’s most sought after leading men – Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Daniel Craig, Hayden Christensen etc – in tears.

According to Taylor-Wood, the idea’s pretty simple: “It’s about the idea of taking these big, masculine men and showing a different side.”

Yay, straightforward, unpretentious art!

"The World Is Really, Really Dirty"


San Francisco-based artist Paul "Moose" Curtis calls himself the "professor of dirt" because he uses nit and grit to make "clean graffiti." Watch documentary filmmaker Doug Pray's short flick on Moose and his sanitary creations…

From The Editor: Because everyone loves elementary art, the front window of my neighborhood vet currently features some childrens' renderings of their pets.

As you can see, one local child recently lost their hamster and, like so many people, has a hard time grappling the concept of death. The picture's far too precious for me to hog, so I'm passing it along.

Before you get bummed out by death and all that, please note that the little bugger went happily.

Singapore doesn't have the best gay track record. Just this year the city-state has fined two television stations for depictions of same-sex love.

It should come as no surprise to hear, then, that artist Martin Loh's 24-image collection, "Pain To Pleasure," which illustrate men in S&M situations, has been axed.

"Vertigo" may not be as skin-filled as photo duo Exterface's previous offerings, but model Sébastien's got us swooning. Check him out, after the jump.

Beware a bit of tush, however.

Dreamy Australian artist Vincent Fantauzzo took home the Archibald People's Choice Prize today for his eerie portrait of Heath Ledger, who died less than a month later.

Note to self: don't sit for Fantauzzo portrait.
