PONY

Marcus Wilson is a brilliant man! His creation Pony is the best modern fag bar to open it’s doors in Seattle … Ever!  Yes, Re Bar had is glory days,  but nothing new has come along since then in the neighborhood fag bar department. The visual concept is stunning, sexy, dramatic, the bartenders have a sense of fun and humor. It’s retro sexy images of men from the 70′s era off the pages of  Mandate and Honcho harken back to a time when natural bodies and natural hair were King! I love the realness of these manly men.  Some of the Old School Bars are quite frankly conservative . Yes !!! Even homosexuals can be conservative, and have a hard time thinking outside the box they have placed themselves in or by social construct. Pony is refreshing and modern while tipping it’s cowboy hat to the past. Pony has been open for awhile, so this is not new news how fab the bar is. But I was looking for a photo of the week from my back log of images, as I have not yet replaced the camera that was stolen from me last week, and this one popped out at me. I’m bummed out that customers kept breaking the strobe light in the bathrooms that were syncopated to make a pee stream appears in droplets . Very David Lynch if you ask me.  Marcus told me awhile back that someone had complained about the strobe lights and that they could cause a seizure in a patron…..
