Good Morning Monsters, er Peeps! Lady Gaga DVD Released Nov. 21

Good morning Peeps! Now that was an incredible weekend, more to come from the Comic Con but as various projects have been keeping me from the gym, it's time to get back to that this afternoon.

But first I thought I'd share that Gaga's Monster Ball tour will be released on DVD with some never before seen footage in about a month, on November 21st. It's the show that played at Madison Square Garden a couple years ago- the same show that I saw with my partner just a few months before in Montreal for like $50. We liked the show so much that we went to buy tix for MSG - and the lowest tix prices were in the hundreds, the highest in the thousands. Yikes. So seeing the show on DVD is a pretty good deal (I mean, for those of you who don't work on Wall Street and aren't part of the 1%).

In other news, November will also mark the release of four Tom of Finland designs to coincide with the 20th anniversary of Tom's death. The shirts are initially 50 euro (whatever that's worth these days, dollar-wise) with $10 going to the Tom of Finland Foundation based in Los Angeles. Order them now by clicking here to Gear of Berlin, the exclusive seller of these designs.

Mama Told Me Not to Play With Dolls - But In This Case She Was Wrong! **updated**

Time has fuzzed over how it happened that, as a kid, I had one action figure but clothes for Captain Kirk and Captain Marvel. Interesting how they're both military, huh and interesting too that I didn't think anything of undressing and dressing each of them at various times. If that's not foreshadowing about my big gay life as an adult, I don't know what is. :)

But now, thanks to the Tom of Finland guys (and specifically sculptor Norm Lloyd), you can put away that sad excuse for an 'adult action figure' aka Billy, and get instead their newest erotic release - the Rebel action figure which stands 13 inches high (so size queens will be happy) and comes with three interchangable penis' (yes yes yes I know ... but it's almost too easy, you know?). The figure has the Tom bod, the cocky smile and leather clothes. Yum.

It's a limited edition and so if you want the world's hottest man staring at you all night long, best to purchase now.

BTW I wanted to mention here something that I think is interesting - I've been out and having gay sex for a long long long time. I've always felt like kind of a super nerd because I believe that men can be sexual beings/pigs/whatever and still be kind and caring to each other and smile and have a great time.

Kind and caring things, like you know, like telling each other your sero status before playing or helping someone on the dance floor who has done one too many party drugs and needs someone to lend them a hand.

It's sad (and shocking, even to me now, this many years into my adult life - I 'should' be used to it by now, right?) to report that I have seen many people turn a blind eye to someone in need or someone tell me that they didn't tell someone they were fucking that they were positive because 'they didn't ask', which is, by the way, one of the most cowardly, weakest things a man can do.

And we've all seen guys who just seem to approach having sex as a grim and depressing thing they have to check off their 'to do' list.

When I was doing porn, good God, people were so drab and grim about it. I always had fun. Always. Even when my co-star was a dud (and there were a few of those) and even when I realized that I was on my own (ie I was with a straight guy and he wasn't going to lend a hand or kiss or anything.. ok well, he was straight identified.. but that's a whole other  conversation).

Anyway, I bring this up because on the Tom page, artist Lloyd says:

"The images and ideas floating around in the art world are like elements of a surrealist dream to me. Tom's dream-like world of "perfect" men who are not only great and proud slabs of beef that are ready to enjoy themselves, in any way, at any moment - but are also good natured and caring - has to be a turn on for anyone."

And one of the things that I can always say about the Tom of Finland folks, the guys in charge of the legacy is that they know how to be sexual, know how to have fun and are definitely caring about others.

So the next time you're out and about and think that 'being a man', specifically a 'Tom of Finland man' means being a mean-ass dick, think again.

To get the Tom action figure, please write to alexshep@yahoo.com I wrote this morning and the email bounced back to me. If that happens to you, try calling the Tom offices in L.A. at: 323 251 6249. Tell 'em that Will sent ya!

****UPDATE: the email is now working and they tell me that each doll er action figure is $50! ***

About Delilah Dix

Delilah Dix is one part gin, one part Barbara Streisand (circa The Way We Were), three parts gin, shaken, enjoy, pass out in a bathtub. She is the almost star of stage, screen and straight-to-video who has toured the United States and the UK with her show, Delilah Dix and her Bag of Tricks. You haven't heard of her? Really? Well you must've read her autobiography, You Don't Know Dick About Dix. It was on the New York Times Bestseller list for 40 minutes. No? Well I'm certain you've seen her sitcom, Dix in your Mouth, for the Oxygen Network, about a family fun dental practice starring Delilah, Justin Beiber and Queen Latifah. Still no?! What about her remake of the classic Dionne Warwick song, "That What Dix Are For"? Even Dionne didn't predict it'd be such a hit! I'm surprised you haven't met/made-out/drank/taken the hospital/gotten an STD from her yet. Clearly you need to check her out on http://www.laughatamy.com and follow her tweets @delilahdix.

Comic Stripped at the Museum of Sex

Last week the Museum of Sex had their annual party for friends, press and whomever and my friend Jim and I went to enjoy their latest exhibit on sex in the world of animation, comics and comic strips. The obvious people are included, such as Howard Cruse and R. Crumb, but it was fascinating to learn that the guys behind the creation of Superman also did some SM art on the side. And they weren't the only ones - illustrators from Archie Comics and many others have crossed that line too. (While they didn't have any examples, the exhibit lays claim that even Dr. Seuss has contributed to the world of erotic comics).

The only unfortunate thing is that, as is usual with the Museum of Sex, gay content is given a minimal display - one small window with a copy of Gay Comics #1 and a few panels. I would have really liked to have seen more illustration of how homoerotic most mainstream comics are and, also some space given to how many out comic book creators there are. But maybe that's an exhibit for the Museum of Comic Book Art to tackle?

But it's worth the time to see the exhibit and the museum overall has never looked finer. Don't miss the third floor 'animal sex' display. There's also now a cafe and of course you enter through the gift shop, which is open to the general public.

SEXY SATURDAY: MEN I LOVE: MIKE DIAMOND, COREY JAY, DEAN FLYNN AND MARCO BLAZE

Bingo friend Mike Diamond is usually not at a loss for words so it's no surprise that his recent NEXT interview is chock a block full of the funny which you can read about by clicking here.

If you're in LA and you like gender bending comedy, then you can check out a new play that starts March 11th, THE BLVD which stars Lana Luster, an old friend of mine (uh a friend I've had for a long time not that she's necessarily old oh you know what I mean!). It's a Norma Desmond type story but with a drag and nude maid service twist (I think everything should have a drag and nude maid service twist) :)

Meanwhile, trouble brewed recently over at the Tom of Finland Foundation (also in LA) as they tried to sort through a sticky problem when they solicited pieces for their upcoming Erotic Art Fair Weekend (March 27 - 28)- does a piece that was a copy of a piece by Joe Oppedisano constitute original art? You can read the fascinating discussion here and I urge you all to read all of it.. an homage or ripping off a piece, you decide.. this is an issue that will become more and more relevant in the coming years as digital reproduction becomes more and more sophisticated. Anyway, congrats to Emerging Artist winner Kevin Francis (pictured)

And then there's Hot House exclusive Corey Jay who, after literally running away to join the circus earlier this past decade (like around 2003 or so) has returned to doing the fisting movies that he loves so much for the only company he'll work for. I first met Corey on the set of my own first movie DR GOOD GLOVE and always found him to be a pretty incredible guy. I would love to make some sort of joke referring to a fisting bottom's anus being like a clown car but I get into trouble when I do that so I'll not say anything. Instead, I'll just urge you all to check out FISTING BIG LEAGUES which is the name of Jay's return flick.

So below the fold, two hot pics of Dean Flynn and Marco Blaze from Titan's DISTRACTION and then a dance break after that. Because sometimes what do you need to do? Just dance. Seriously. 

SEXY SATURDAY: SMELL LIKE TOM OF FINLAND

Well, now you can smell like a Tom of Finland model and while you might think that means sweat and testosterone and motorcyle and leather and jeans and gym towel and dirty laundry and.. wait, what was I talking about again? oh yeah, anyway, it's actual cologne that the TOF folks sell (or more accurately, that the 665 Leather people sell in their shop in LA). But perhaps better than the cologne, is the ad for it that they sent which is of course below the fold.
