Tom of Finland doll $69.69
Boys like to play with dolls, too. And
this Helsinki homo is hot, hot, hot.
Based on Touko Laaksonen’s classic
homoerotic art, this articulated 13-
inch action figure features inter
changeable hands, feet and penis
(cut and uncut). Kitos, Touko!

■ homo destina-
y y tion has a lot
more going for it
besides gay-specific
books, videos and
DVDs (which, inciden
tally, they rent as well
as sell). The laid-back
atmosphere is perfect for
browsing the choice
tchotchkes for faggy fa-la-la-
ing. Gai-Pied is the source for
the requisite beefcake calen
dar, with more than 40
incamalations from Bel
Ami boyz ($12.95) to Colt’s
hairy-chested studs
($15.95).
Gay Play game $19.95
Packaged in a handy
plastic tote, this gayme
“for lovers" from Kheper
Games (created,
incidentally, by native Ore
gonians Brian and Tony Pellham) rolls out a
40- by 60-inch red carpet of love. (Don’t worry,
it’s washable.) Take turns throwing a die and
moving from space to space, performing such
tasks as “rub something, your choice,” “nibble
nipple" or “cold hands, start over.” The first
person to reach the final space gets to select
the first lovemaking position, so, really, every
one wins!
Dress-up refrigerator magnets $19.95
W ho says playing dress-up is for
kids when the fella you’re dress
ing—or, perhaps, undressing— is a
dude named Jonas Morecock? He’s 7
inches of pure play and has four
other buddies to choose from,
depending on your taste in men (or
clothes). Try ’em online at
www.xodus-usa.com/magnets.shtml,
where you can have a little virtual
vamp.

the Sea Glass dinner-
ware collection by
Riverside Design. The
hand-colored, bent,
recycled glass pieces

plate could set you back $37.
Mindful menagerie $3.50~$23
If your budget is smaller
(like mine!), check out the flat
glass wall vases with flower
inlays ($13) or the colorful
recycled
glass fish
shaped
napkin rings ($23
for a set of four). Your
Critical Mass friends
might like a bicycle cog
picture frame ($22). And
stuff those stockings with
Palmstones soap in gem
like shapes and colors
($3.50 each).
