And the Hunky Jesus winner is . . . Baby Jesus

Like Folsom Street Fair, the Hunky Jesus and WTF Mary contest marks the SF spiritual calendar of fantasy, spectacle and the sublime. This was the 36th annual contest and my first HJ in many years since I’ve been living in Tokyo.

I like how each Jesus created their own storyline, often independent of the Christian chronology. A 9 month pregnant woman won WTF Mary. “Good timing on her part,” as my friend said. Baby Jesus, “I’m just a baby,” won the HJ category. His is probably the sexiest adult diaper I have ever seen, and he won a lot of attention by pouring milk from his baby bottle across his hairy chest.

Thanks, Sister Roma, and all the good nuns for an outstanding event that brought together freaks, families, and pure joy.

And the winner is . . . Mr Kyoto!

Thank you, Kathryn, for linking to the results of the Mr Japan contest. I think they chose a good winner. Of course it’s not just about looks but also leadership and powers of expression.

Eurovision song contest will turn you gay!

Last year Azerbaijan won, so they will be this year’s host. Apparently some Azeri terrorists are threatening the “Euro scum” with knives and chemical weapons. This will clearly be a clash of civilizations at the border between West Asia and East Europe. I am hoping gay-ness wins.

Hunky Jesus amplifies love

Every year there’s a Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence-led Hunky Jesus contest in Dolores Park, San Francisco. This video is from last year. I wonder who won this year?
