Save Fetish!

It’s Folsom in Berlin and thousands of guys covered in black leather or rubber will be coming to Berlin. Fetish is getting a bit mainstream, so let’s save Fetish…
We tried and rebranded a label that offers real handcrafted Fetish from Berlin: Rub Addiction – made to measure and made to play.
So see what’s next and see you at Folsom!

What you might like about SAVE FASHION today, could make you turn away tomorrow.We like that.
SAVE FASHION is all about celebrating the pleasure of urban emotions and ideas expressed through fashion. And the guys who wear it. So let’s celebrate urban hedonism in a fresh way at Spy-Club in Berlin’s famous Cookies on August 28. Loads of sexy boys will be there – wearing save fashion or a little less.

Distasteful and cheesy or a camp comment to the catastrophy in the Gulf of Mexico?
The italian Vogue published the images of Photographer Steven Meisel where Kristen McMenamy is dressed in feathery outfits and thick slimy mucous traps her to the ground, trying to writhe free.
Is it an inappropriate use of the disaster just for commercial purposes or are the images inducing enough pain making you realize that we are helpless in the face of such a calamite?
Well we are not….

iPhone users have more sexual partners than BlackBerry or Android owners. By age 30, the average male iPhone user has had about 10 partners. By contrast, BlackBerry users hover around 8 partners and Android users have a mere 6.
The question that raised for us was of course: per what? per day? per month? per year? The real answer is shaking…it’s total. In a life. what a life?
But at least it shows that iPhone users aren’t just getting fucked by Apple.

The Kiss 2010, Berlin (c) SchwarzRosaGold
One of the most famous kisses in world history happened 1945 at New Yorks Time Square after Japan’s capitulation. Photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt caught nurse Edith Shain life in the act and shared the image via ”Life”-Magazine. Hundreds of tongue-hungry couples took the chance to re-enact the famous kiss at Time Square today.
65 years later the world seems to be ready for the capitulation of the conservative. We caught that young man live at the “Transgenial” CSD in Kreuzberg kissing many guys.
Kiss me baby, one more time - everywhere in the world.

Inspired by an illustration we did for Männer Magazine we dedicated this week to our Superheroes – and found quite a few of them to be absolutely gay. Basicly any major city has a Superhero covering gay needs.
The good thing talking about Superheroes is that superlatives seem just appropriate.New York’s Superhero Dave – known as the creator and Supermodel of slick-it-up was caught in action by the extraordinary exterface.
Quite a few of themrecently came together at the Comicon in San Diego.
And of course the most incredible of them all lives in Berlin – the incredible Rummelsnuff. Better don’t make him angry – and go to his next concert.

Amongst a lot of inspiration found in the side streets of London we saw the next generation of streetart – elaborate three dimensional grafities next to royal rabbit drawings and kingsize queens in Shoreditch. Between Fashion week and Fetish week we also had some spare time ito see “Exposed” at Tate Modern – a documentary of voyeurism through the last 150 years that’s well worth seeing.
Faule Äpfel?

Lange stand Apple für einen coolen, urbanen Lebensstil, für Individualismus und Unabhängigkeit. Nicht erst seit den Antennendesaster ist das Image angekratzt, denn auf dem Zenit seiner iMacht angekommen, zeigt Apple-Chef Steve Jobs nun ein ganz anderes Gesicht: das des spießigen Moralpolizisten. Nachdem wir schon im Mai erste faule Stellen gefunden haben, wird es jetzt richtig madig: Die Juli-Ausgabe der MÄNNER nimmt den Apfel unter die Lupe und hat uns beauftragt den aufkommenden Frust fotografisch zu verdeutlichen.

No air conditioning, hot and sticky air. Why going to the gym to work out when there is plenty of room outside in the city? Why not doing a work outside? We went outside with a friend and did so. There were a lot of spectators, even a bunch of sweating police men came and applaused. Hope the readers of MÄNNER magazine do, who published our pics for a photo-story in their June issue.
That’s why…

Gay and Gaga? Geht’s noch?
.............................................................................................................................................
23 June 2010
Are Gay people still Gaga? Or are they as normal as the masses of mainstream? Did gay marriage and acceptance kill our creativity? Are Darkrooms and Gay Prides the last retreats where Gagaism breaks through? Heteronormativity taking over? Well, maybe the actual Homonormativity isn’t better.
Judith Butler didn’t accept the price for moral courage on this years Berlin Pride because the whole Pride was too commercial and superficial and not political enough, not queer (or gaga?) enough. Well, Homonormativity the big problem today? The Gay “Spießer” was talked about even in the 70s when Rosa von Praunheim claimed that the gays were more white-breaded than the mass just to thank not to be killed.
We should be facing the truth: The gay majority is as “spießig” as everyone else and most of them feel quite good about it.
The call for more political expression on a Gay Pride Demonstration is absolutely right, Transophobia or double discrimination being gay and migrant.
But talking about Afghanistan or stupid Israel bashing like in Madrid? Or even attacking some gay groups as being racist just because they bring up the problem of gay bashing amoung young migrants? Geht’s noch?
Well…. there is still al lot of Gaga in all of us!

Berlin Pride 2010: besides hundreds of Drag Queens and hot boys there were also some political issues on the Parade. There are still execution of homosexuals in Iran. Let’s hope for the green revolution and that there will be a Gay Pride Teheran 2020!

Schwarzrosagold met Schwarzrotgold today when Germany was meated by Serbia. The sun is shining in Berlin, the temperatures are rising and the fans start sweating and getting rid of their black three star “Nationalmannschafts” soccer shorts and bawl the new national anthem “Schlaand oh Schlaand”, but it didn’t help

The edge between love and hate is very thin sometimes and a hype can quickly knock over, quicker than you think. Cencorship is definetly not a thing people like and after banning the Gayromeo-App from his monopoly store, Steve Jobs might have lost a lot of gay friends. And he will loose more if he keeps other technologies away from his devices.
To some the once so beloved Fruit turnes into a greedy monster.

Progress happens every day and in every part of human life, especially when it’s bound to digital technology. In the UK Dr. Mark Gasson will be known in the future as being the first man ever infected by a special type of virus: a computer virus.
What sounds like a creepy and cool science fiction story is real. But Mr. Gasson did not mutate into a terminator like cyborg or was expectorating nanobot slime. The virus infected a chip in his body he implanted himself before as part of an experiment. Today not many can tell a chip as part of their intestines, but as a spanish club already experimanted with a subcutan thingy for identification or payment, they are about to come. Not to mention chips that regulate devices for epilepsy or cardiac pacemakers. And who knows in future your cerebral iFacebook-pad?
Scary, but get used to it : Soon you’ll find some Norton or Kaspersky in your local pharmacy.

American photographer Jill Greenberg is known for steeling candy from kids and doing great portraits of the crying little moppets. We love her for that! But now she came to camp and shot this bodacious underwater series for RADAR Magazine. Pink sky, beautiful women and high heels – hot!

Der Mann hat mehr erogene Zonen als den Schwanz. Die meisten Schwulen haben zumindest die Prostata entdeckt, doch es gibt noch Brustwarzen, Perineum, Ohrläppchen und nicht zu guter letzt: das Gehirn. Unsere Illustration deckt die verschiedenen Schichten der sensiblen Körperteile auf und Männer-Redakteur Christian Lütjens ergänzt in der Mai Ausgabe des Magazins das fehlende Wissen.
Smash Homophobia!
.............................................................................................................................................
17 May 2010
People gathered today in Berlin in front of the Ugandian Embassy close to the SCHWARZROSAGOLD office to protest with a Kiss-In against the country’s plan of new law that would prosecute Homosexuality with death penalty. This babaric law would even make it possible to punish Human Rights Organizations who help Gays and Lesbians. Evangelic Groups from the USA fired the irrational fear of Ugandian people from LGBT people.
Members of LSVD, amnesty international, the Berlin parliament and Alexandra Thein, member of the European Parliament were among the protesters. We supported the protest and hope that this setback to medieval fascism will fail.
Today’s International Day Against Homophobia is celebrated around the world and remebers of May 17th 1990 the WHO eliminated Homosexuality from the list of psychological disorders.

It happened already a few days ago, but we were SPEECHLESS and couldn’t write about it until now. Lady Gaga smashed into Berlin and set our hearts on fire. We felt like a PAPARAZZI cause we took so many pictures and our friend Gloria Viagra (who was Gaga before Gaga was even born!) seemed to have a BAD ROMANCE with the Godess at the After-Show-Party in Berlins sleaziest Location Lab-Oratory.
MÄNNER-Redakteur Christian Lütjens war nach dem Konzert genau so gaga wie wir und hat uns an seinem Erlebnis teilhaben lassen – exklusiv als Preview im SRGAZINE, bevor es in der Juni MÄNNER erscheint:
Es dröhnt und zuckt und funkelt und fiebert. Und bei einem Blick ins Publikum sieht man sie tatsächlich: die legendären Gaga-Fans mit den Glitzertattoos und den Science-Fiction-Kostümen, die Jungs mit den Strumpfhosen und Turmhüten. Neben uns steht ein Homopärchen mit Masken und Federboas, vor uns sitzt eine aufgekratzte Sechsjährige (Schätzung) im pinken Tüll-Tütü. So soll es sein. Auf der Bühne brüllt die Lady „Germany! I love you so much!“ ins Mikro, ihre hinreißenden Tänzer formieren sich um sie, und … Bumm! Stampf! Heul!
