Happy 40th Birthday, COLT!

You know you're doing something right if you're pissing off Bill O'Reilly: apparently, the tediously apoplectic conservative curmudgeon used images from COLT's 40th birthday bash at the War Memorial Building in San Francisco's Civic Center over GAYVN Awards weekend to illustrate a FOX News "report" this evening on the city's status as "a modern day Sodom" and slammed dreamy SF mayor Gavin Newsom for declaring last Friday "COLT Studio Day" in honor of the company's 40th anniversary. Alas, we weren't there ourselves to see COLT man Carlo Masi jumping out of a cake by way of celebration (as much as we love the City By The Bay, they really need to get more taxis on the street to make party hopping easier for us porn folk), but fortunately there's plenty of photos of the happy occassion at the COLT Studio blog. In the meantime, let's all wish the studio all the best for another four decades of successful hotness. We can only hope we're looking as good when we hit 40. (Which, of course, won't happen for another 36 1/2 years or so. Still, it's never too early to start looking forward to these things.)
