Cute Boys and Drag Queens Survive the Apocalypse
By defekto on April 25, 2008
I am happier than a passing tranny that I will be regularly posting my Polaroids to Feast of Fools!
Thank you Fausto and Marc for allowing me to contaminate TastyZine with some of my work. If you want to know more about who I am, check my bio or drop me an email.
As most of us have heard, Polaroid has decided to discontinue their amazing instant film. That is a disturbing bit of news to people like myself who have been shooting with the stuff for years and consider it their medium of choice. I have a decent stash of film that will probably last me a full year and during that time I will be taking the most amazing photographs to shock, amaze and titillate.
What I’ll do here is upload some of the new stuff as well as share images from my extensive Polaroid archive. I wondered what FoF listeners and readers would like to see and decided: cute boys and drag queens, obviously! So that’s what I will be posting… more than likely with some deviation here and there, but we’ll see how that goes.
Hope you enjoy my work! Please check back every Friday and Monday for a couple of fresh photos.

This is an older Polaroid I shot of two drag queens years ago. I love this type of drag. They’re the kind of girls who really do look as if their names are Madge and Phyllis. They’re the kind of sweethearts that won’t bother competing with the more traditional beauties and are content to dress like 13-year old girls going to their first Junior Prom. Read more…

Human Canary Really Wows ‘Em

Are we all in agreement that sexy people as bar accessories are HOT? Who can resist a scantily clad, tea-bagging go-go boy or a gyrating sex kitten in a go-go cage? Or even those perfectly formed studs, painted white to look like Roman statues? Ok, I admit the statue people are a little creepy, but […]

I think we’ve all seen one of the greatest trash fashions that is known as the crocheted “Beer Can Hat“. It is a true abomination that only a blind person could begin to appreciate. Happily, I can report from Baltimore, Maryland that we have improved on this look with the “Beer 12-Pack Hat”.
Actually, this […]

Jewish pride

This guy (or gal) wants everyone to know they are Jewish, so they cut out a section of their blinds and displayed this tiny little menorah. The photo was taken on a side street in Andersonville in Chicago which is a very gay area of town. We’re wondering, why was it so important for this […]
