My Visit To Tom House -
A Bucket List Checkmark for Sure
An Article in GED
 
Bucket List by Christopher Jackson

Exclusively for GED Magazine.

The House was everything I imagined and more. Marc Ransdell-Bellenger (2013 Mr. Long Beach Leather) newly appointed Curator and Head of Community Development to the Tom of Finland Foundation extended the tour for me.

Whilst some parts of the House were off limits (the basement for one, darn it!) due to the upcoming release of the book titled simply TOM House that will illustrate much of the House never seen to the general public, I was still able to view much of the House.

This included the attic where a fully functioning Foundation was hard at work on computers managing several of Tom's works being showcased at art exhibits around the world. And the attic is where Tom's bedroom was for the last decade of Tom's life. Marc tells me many of the items in the room, including some final sketches, are still there as Tom left them.

It gave me goose bumps.

Tom of Finland Condoms

The world's biggest leather event will take place this weekend in San Francisco and thanks to a new, exclusive partnership between ONE® and the Tom of Finland Foundation, you can find  condom wrappers featuring Tom of Finland's erotic artwork of men in leather and less.

Durk Dehner, the president of the Foundation explained: "Tom of Finland was dubbed 'the Michelangelo of safe sex, 'promoting sexual health, particularly among gay men."
