We were just paying a visit to our oh-so-sexy friends at My Comrade and learned something very interesting: New York City's Clampart Gallery will be presenting an exhibit of legendary art-fag James Bidgood's work. Most well known for his 1971 film, Pink Narcissus, which revolves around the masturbatory fantasies of a down on his luck prostitute, Bidgood's earned quiet a cult following. Although, it wasn't always thus: when the film first debuted, Bidgood neglected to attach his name, leading many to assume the film came from Andy Warhol.

It wasn't until Taschen published a book of Bidgood's work that he publicly came out at the man behind the queer favorite. In a 2006 interview, Sean Fredric Edgecomb asked Bidgood what he thought of the Warhol rumors, to which Bidgood replied:

Pink Narcissus doesn’t look anything like Warhol. First of all he would never put that much effort into anything, and that always annoyed me, the first reason that I don’t like things. That’s why I’m a very old corny guy, because if my Aunt Mabel could do it, it ain’t worth doin’, and for God’s sake, I loved my Aunt Mabel, I just figure if you’re going to be in a gallery, you should be able to do more than my Aunt Mabel could do.

Anyway, if you're interested, the show's running from January 4th-February 17th at Clampart (521-531 West 25th St). For more information, check out their website.

Considering the wonders being gay has done for ex-bandmate Lance Bass's career, maybe JC Chasez should think about it as well. Obviously, he is gearing up for something big by shooting these special studio photographs. Too bad his nose is so shiny. Or maybe that's cute. No, it's not, really.

See more photos after the jump.

A reader just sent us this link and picture from the forth-coming Ikea catalogue. Apparently it's caused quite a stir in recent weeks, although we heard nothing of it. People are in a tizzy over what appears to be a rather large - and circumcised - human penis attached to a suspiciouly shameful-looking dog.

An Ikea rep insists:

We saw this particular photo when the prints came through here in Canada. ...But we can definitely say this is a picture of a dog's leg, and it is not something else.

Sure, not that exciting, but it's rainy and we're tired. Whatever, you're totally squinting right now to check it out. Sicko.

This weekend's gay pride parade in Tokyo drew a crowd 3,800 — and plenty of rain. But the showers didn't keep the leather daddies and jock strap clad flag wavers from taking Yoyogi Park. Gay Japan News brings us the visuals.

Queerty friend Produzentin makes us wish we had dressed a little whackier on our Big Gay Road Trips through the American South and the cold, white North. We perhaps could have gotten some photos with babies.

Produzentin and his companion Nancy travelled to some of Canada's most famous destinations, including Niagara Falls, Tim Horton's, and Dairy Queen, and were received with a mixture of adoration and horror. Watch the story unfold over at his blog. We are waiting with great anticipation for Part III.

Another day, another round of David Beckham in Speedos. We're assuming David and wife Victoria spent more than one day on Roberto Cavalli's yet — though if there's anyone so vain as to change his scant wardrobe not once, not twice, but three times (from white to black to orange striped to white board shorts), it's Mr. Beckham.

Is getting through this Monday especially difficult for you, too? Then let us help you with a round of photos from David Beckham, on a yacht, in a white Speedo. Because nobody should have to begin the work week without some adequate mental stimulation. We're now accepting American Express gift cards as means of expressing your gratitude.
