Yes, #2 is exactly how I dressed up.last saturday night. Hey-O!

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

you and Bruno :)

Bruno is alive and well, in Florida... I chat with him every blue moon. (we've mutual friends).

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

I was ridiculously happy to see him still alive and well when I first spotted him on b411. I have no personal connection with him at all but we're both survivors...

[badgerpdx.livejournal.com]

I know... I was astonished to find him, truly. He's looking AMAZINGLY GOOD. Kind of like a Stanley Tucci, but the COLT version (literally)

[bluebear2.livejournal.com]

Is he still hot?

(And there is/are/were more than one Bruno I think. (I'm late to all this stuff.)

Ha! B. is the Bat-Buckle! I see Bruce Wayne is an investor in gay sex shops. ;)

My favorite detail in all of these: "Use your MASTERCHARGE!" in the third ad.

Second favorite detail is how happy the spotted zebra is.

IKR? I keep thinking something like, "At the Pleasure Chest, they'll take you to the edge of ecstasy with nipple clamps and leather whips ... but they won't take American Express."

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Haha, yes!

That's what was so awesome about that ad. I am not sure if the BBB was as bought off as they are today. To think some one form there ad to check out their store. lol

In the land of zebras, we are pretty prancing giraffes?

[write-light.livejournal.com]

No, we're still zebras, just a different sort of zebra. ;)

There is something indescribably wonderful about those handmade gay ads from the 70's. I can't describe it... it's just an other worldlyness to them.

The Pleasure Chest eventually moved down Santa Monica Blvd again (7733, by Genesee Ave on the other side of Fairfax). I live half a block from it.

Some may scoff (not around here, of course). However they have the best price for large-quantity Pjur lube. Honestly I'm shocked it's been around long enough to have taken Mastercharge (that change was 1981 -- I remember the commercial).

Oh, but they're only open until 10:30 pm, not midnight.

But...but...I wanted to use my Bank Americard!

Inhalers? I'm obviously missing something here.
