Pulling Out the Big Guns / Sacando las Pistolas Grandes

La versión español está después de la versión inglés.

DURING SATURDAY’S GAY Pride Parade in Torremolinos, as I stood innocently on the sidelines with my camera, some guy shot on me. It took me by surprise. Then another guy shot on me. And another. What hit me was cold and refreshing. So I didn’t complain.

DURANTE EL DESFILE del sábado en Torremolinos, mientras permanecía inocentemente al margen con mi cámara, un hombre me disparó. Me tomó por sorpresa. Luego otro hombre me disparó. Y otra. Lo que me golpeó fue frío y refrescante. Así que no me quejé.

What do you suppose one has to do to be voted Mr. Fetish Spain?
Never mind. The guy on the right (Andy Star) looks like he’s hoping to find out.

¿Qué suponen que uno tiene que hacer para ser elegido como el Mr. Fetish Spain?
No importa. El chico a la derecha (Andy Star) parece que espera descubrirlo.

  1. Oh so many things to say, but I’m going to control myself! Just one thing, I got to the fifth picture and almost fainted! I didn’t know Ronald McDonald was gay! He’s butched up so much, too! Okay, two things, are those gay sperm on the white t-shirt clad hunks? Here, I always thought of paisley as gay sperm. I guess paisley is just flamboyant. Someone has pushed my silly button this morning 🙂

    1. Deedles,
      Are you talking about the drummer with the really big stick? He is beyond perfection! Do you remember him from the acrobats blog post? I hadn’t ever seen an actual image of gay sperm. Fascinating.

      1. No, my heart couldn’t handle his really big stick! My mou…uh, hands could! Anyhoo, I was talking (Ronald McDonaldwise) about the dude with the red afro in the picture with the rainbow Beatles circa 1960s. Gay sperm is in the picture above it. The two older gentlehunks standing with all of the luscious beefcake! I think I’ve overdosed on muscles 🙂

      2. Deedles,
        I got confused and thought there was more stream of consciousness than there really was. Didn’t realize you were still talking about Ronald McDonald. If that really was Ronald, I’d be getting my beef at Mcadonald’s all the time. But oh the drummer acrobat. Flawless. Well.. but not as tall as I like, so one flaw.

    1. Willym,
      Well I myself only enjoyed it for the social and political statements.

  2. Oh my! You should join the parade next year! Mr Fetish would be glad to explain, or demonstrate to the curious.

    1. David,
      If I did join the parade, I would definitely steer well clear of the Mr. Fetish truck! I’d be terrified.

  3. Very entertaining, was it likely your jaw was on the ground admiring the muscles and that is why you got shot so many times with the water guns?

    1. Bob,
      And there was so much more I didn’t get shots of. There was more than one gladiator. Oh my!

  4. When you defeat the Persian Empire and survive thousands of years to make it to Pride.

  5. Woo hoo! Great time of the year 🙂 I’m glad to see that Pride festivals are available around the world. Happy days!

    1. Judy:
      So glad we went. Wish we had gone to Sevilla’s the two years we were there. Much bigger!
