@husbuddy.bsky.socialSigned "Tom 77": Tom of Finland, born Touko Laaksonen, an ad agency art director in Helsinki who drew men like this in graphite after hours. Finland put his work on postage stamps in 2014, and they became the best-selling stamp set in the country's history.
@husbuddy.bsky.socialHarvey Milk started the Castro Street Fair in 1974 to prove the neighborhood's gay community could pack a street and fill the registers. It worked. Flared yellow jeans, cutoffs, tube socks, aviators, and a tank from Hot Flash of America, a local shop.
