The Fabulis team is on a nationwide tour to turn your Yelping, Facebooking, and Tweeting into, uh, Fabulisting? (We just coined that, and we want credit if it catches on.) Founder Jason Goldberg, creative director and ex-Queerty Bradford Shellhammer, and a few of Los Angeles’ finest were on hand Sunday for a gathering at The Abbey in West Hollywood to explain what Fabulis is. Evidently, it’s a trade secret, or at least their profit-making model is. But this is what it looks like when gays gather to talk tech.

Christ! I’m becoming too connected to the world. I think I’m going to shut down and become a luddite

Out of curiosity- anyone else notice the lack of racial minorities in these pics? Actually, in most gay events, I see few if no racial minorities represented (and females). Mostly, I see 20-30sh year-old males, white, waxed, typical HRC poster-boys. I live in Colorado, but I get to NYC and Miami often.

A lot of them are pretty fugly, starting with Dustin Bareback.

@Jones: Feeling a bit insecure? Learn from Thumper, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” LOL
Biv
@TonyD: I’m pretty sure I see black guys, Latino guys, and Asian guys in every other photo. The only lack of diversity is with the women but Fabulis is a site for gay men.

How many of these guys did Dustin Bareback have unsafe sex with?

This is why I only go to the Abbey at night. Every looks better in the dark.
