Bear Soup #33

Spunkdaddy's Bear Soup
Episode #033:

Ron reads the Sept. 2, 2006 article in the San Francisco Chronicle written by Wyatt Buchanan on the Hairrison Street Fair, “‘Bears’ come out to play at fair celebrating gay subculture” which mentions “Bear Soup” – Omigod!; and a short item on fashion designer Marc Jacobs’ new major ad campaign featuring two bearish men, makeup guru Dick Page and his husbear, James Gibbs, photographed by Juergen Teller. Backed by the vocal stylings of the bearish countertenor and international opera star, David Daniels.

Bubbling up to the surface soon on Spunkdady's Bear Soup:
+ Vocubulary: How to WOOF at a BEAR or CUB in eighteen languages
+ An attempt to list with some detail current activities with bear podcasts, bearcasters, and general bear radio roundup
