Friday the 13th typically conjures images of a machete yielding man in a hockey mask. But this Friday the 13th, at San Francisco’s D.N.A. Lounge, was thankfully more about club kids and go-go pharaohs. The closing night of the great pansexual Blow Up party took us back stylistically to the ancient Egyptians and turned D.N.A into a sea of shimmering gold suited for the queens of the land. From gold lipstick to gold jackets and skivvies, Blow Up was destined to be carved into the stone of memory and remembered for ages.
After all, who could forget DJ Jeffrey Paradise carrying around a skull for the requisite mummy reference and a few giggles ?
Blow Up, always good for an outlandish costume and a laugh, was saying goodbye. But like all SF parties, it is sure to resurface in a new form some time or another.
But to remember the glory days, give yourself over to the Pharaohness that was Blow Up at D.N.A Lounge.

the guys in Picture #5 are really cute, the brunette especially.
everyone/everything else seems kinda terrifying. what’s up with gays lifting their shirts for the camera? since when is that not a tacky and gross thing to do?
Gold-Jawed Andy Warhol (#4 and #10) is my favorite though.

This is almost too sad for words. Showing your nipples to the camera? How 1990! These party schmucks just didn’t get the memo, I’m afraid.

Why is Queerty covering this party? I live in SF, and even I didn’t give a shit about Blow Up. Oh no! Where will emaciated art school fags paint themselves up and do blow now? Oh, right: literally anywhere else.

Forget these pictures. Can someone tell me who the model is in the AA swimsuit ad top right 8^)

Re No. 2 · jason (bitter grapes?) …. any guesses as to who does not have a six pack?
Come on guys – they were having fun. If you aren’t interested in the event or simply didn’t know about it, do what I did and don’t go.
James
The word “fag” on a gay blog… Really?

Amen to No. 5, I think someone is a little jealous… ;D

B,
I don’t mind them having fun but you have to wonder about their states of mind. They might all be psychiatric patients having a night out.

Re No 10: With all due respect, Jason, you were the one obsessing about their nipples. Re-read No 2.

Wow guys let’s not forget that
1. It was a party with a theme….
(egyptian )
2. It was at a bar/night club
(i.e s place where alcohol is served ) for those that don’t know
3. You don’t have to be in any particular mind set, other then wanting to let loose and have fun
4. And the most important one of them all…
THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARR LOVING THIER LIFE’S AND HAVING FUN… AND
NOT BEING CRAZY D-BAGS THAT HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THEN BASH ON PEOPLE THAT GO TO PARTIES THAT THEY TOTALLY WANT TO GO TO BUT DIDN’T
THATS ALL…..
Spike
@Jay: emaciated art school fags…..classic and spot on conclusion from this batch of pics. Funny!

The young, hot, gay SF elite (A gays) aren’t in any of these pics. And for good reason. I don’t think people are bashing the party crowd cause everyone loves to party. But over partying makes you look desperate, old looking, and just hella sweaty.
josh
You guys are crazy i love a theme party, I love all the girls Egyptian make-up!!! Def going to find a reason to do Egyptian make up soon.
