LAVENDER LOUNGE ANNOUNCES MAJOR WEB SITE RE-LAUNCH

Lavender Lounge Studios is pleased to announce a major re-launch of their flagship web site, LavenderLounge.com. Development began more than a year ago and triggers a new direction for the company.

Owner Mark Kliem says, "Following industry trends, I am breaking up my main web site into a series of more niche-specific websites. LavenderLounge.com will be primarily a showcase for my own original photography. I've gotten the most notoriety for shooting candid photos at street fairs, clubs and porn star events, so that will be the focus of this site. The new site will also feature hardcore scenes I've shot with models, and with new technology available, I'll finally have a workable video solution for my members."

The new LavenderLounge.com was built on a platform of open source content management software customized with plug-ins for video streaming, blogging, and photo slideshows.

Kliem adds, "Members will be able to watch videos full screen with amazing clarity, but my favorite feature is the photo slide shows. When a member clicks on a thumbnail, the picture opens into a lightbox that hovers over the browser and a slide show begins. Users will have full control to either go from thumbnail to thumbnail or sit back and watch the show. Photos automatically adjust to any screen size and each picture dissolves elegantly to the next. It's gorgeous!"

The majority of the content on LavenderLounge.com is exclusive photography and video shot at gay-oriented outdoor festivals, smutty bar and nightclub events, and sexually charged gatherings of gay porn stars. These completely candid, unrehearsed, reality based "Paparazzi Pics" are sub-divided into three categories:

STREETFAIR SKIN: San Francisco hosts several queer outdoor festivals like Folsom Street Fair, Up Your Alley (aka Dore Alley Street Fair), Castro Street Fair, Gay Pride Parade, Pink Saturday, Hairrison Street Fair and Mark Kliem has been documenting them with photos for several years. He has also photographed his travels to Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Russian River, Las Vegas, Florida, etc.

BARHOPPING BARE: Leather bars have some sort of beauty contest almost every night, and if you mix alcohol with horny men, the clothes come off quickly! Lavender Lounge chooses to shoot photos of bar events featuring hairy chests, big dick daddies, tattooed bad boys, real men with facial hair, and muscle bears.

PORN STAR PARTIES: Mark Kliem photographs many promotional events featuring gay porn stars getting loose and slutty. The GayVN Awards, Grabby Awards, Cybersocket Awards, Bad Boys Pool Parties, fundraisers, after parties, trade shows or anywhere porn stars gather to titillate and entertain.

To satisfy customers looking more more explicit, hardcore porn, Lavender Lounge also offers photo and video sets of ANAL SEX and SOLO STUDS. Besides his own exclusive content, Lavender Lounge also presents sample picture galleries and movies from the best gay porn producers in the business. VIP Members of Lavender Lounge will get access to a premier selection of previews from the top gay porn studios through content provided in their affiliate programs.

Long time members LavenderLounge.com will be relieved to know that the extensive galleries of vintage gay porn is still active in the VIP Room (aka members area). Over the next few months, Lavender Lounge Studios will be launching a new website of strictly vintage gay porn content, allowing paid members access to both sites.

"I can't wait to launch my new vintage site! I will finally be able to properly share my vast collection of rare and underground gay porn from the 1970's, including a couple hundred hours of hardcore movies I am transferring from 8mm. These movies were rarely seen when they were new, and a whole new generation of viewers have never seen them," added Kliem.

The re-launch of LavenderLounge.com was made possible with help from William "Jake" Jacobs of Webs Gold (www.WebsGold.com), specializing in Joomla support and services.
