This post is Not Safe For Work
and it's also about things I found at my workplace, ha!
Those who read this blog from the start probably know that I'm working in a LGBT organization in Vilnius.
Sometimes people ask me what do I exactly do there and as much as I would like to answer, "oh, I'm fighting homophobia in the baltics", because it sounds like I'm kicking ass and it's cool, the truth is that, in a day to day basis, most of what I do is normal office work.
We have meetings, and a coffee machine, and working hours and excel tables. It's like being an intern in any other office apart from the rainbowflags everywhere and a big jar of condoms at the entrance.
BUT, there are days that remind me how cool and weird this place can be:
Some months ago the Gay League got new furniture. We, volunteers, were moving books and flyers from old shelfs and found some interesting stuff. I decided to photograph the best, and share it with you:
1 - The postcard with "Sucking Tips"
the front image is very straight to the point, and so is the text in the back.
2- The other postcard with a penis.
I like to think about the designer who came up with this.
3 - Not-So-Sexy Santa
It somehow disturbs me because he kind of looks like someone I could know.
4 - Russian Pamphlet
I guess CEKC means sex.
5 - Swedish Way
This is such a nice booklet. Every page of it emanates 90's feeling and people in the photos look like a gay version of Friends' cast.
for real... don't you think that guy looks like Ross?
6 - THE Manual!
Apart from some illustrations and instructions for sex, it also gives you important tips for the dating world, like how to start a conversation with a stranger in a supermarket ("That's a very interesting vegetable. Have you ever cooked it?")
I also read a part explaining the handkerchief code, which involved wearing a bandana in the back pocket with a colour corresponding to the person's sexual preferences. I'm guessing gay women never had much codes for meeting one another, since the only book I found about lesbians was this:
7- The Eternal Quest
