I’m was already looking forward to the next batch of boys for sale, and before “Boy Bordello” closed, the fourth installment of “Dirty Little Drawings” opened in its midst. From February 6 through 10, lovers of hot all-male art were able to buy drawings from Workshop artists, all 5.5 by 5.5 inches, at $60 a pop! Some 800 works were hung at one time on temporary walls. As drawings were purchased and removed, hundreds of others took their places, so this show-within-a-show was never the same show twice. Given the optical profusion of “Boy Bordello” alone, would I be able to negotiate the addition of all those “Dirty Little Drawings” and not black out? Before I succumbed I managed to buy a god in a jockstrap from Chuck Nitzberg, a fantasia on classic male flesh from Gary Speziale and a William Donovan boy in blue with the creamiest ass in creation.
