OK people, I rarely beg, but really, please leave comments. Don't make me get on my knees. Wait. Stop that. You know what I mean.
Tell me truly, what is it you're most obsessed with right now? Extra points if you don't post anything about the Orange Menace. :)
Me? I google "rugby shorts fail" when I need a little.... uhm. Lift. Here's a shot that I think is Facebook friendly. But, really, 'rugby shorts fail'. You're welcome.
Good afternoon, peeps - if you're up here in the northeast, hope you're bundled up and keeping warm - what feels like a sudden cold snap has chilled us to the bone and although I'm writing this from my desk in my living room, I may be moving the whole operation to my bed for a few hours. Usually I do other things in my bed than type on my computer, but today I'm willing to make an exception. It doesn't help that in addition to shivering, I'm sniffling and sneezing too. Yay. I really do love winter, but not at this specific moment in time.
That's as good a transition as any to talk about warmer days - July 15 last summer celebrating Witti Repartee's birthday at Bingo as a fundraiser for Iris House. Our special guest was the then recently crowned Mr. Fire Island Bear, Chris Pagano.
If you don't know Chris, you're missing out on a genuine pound and a half of real man beef with a good heart and a great sense of humor. He was one of a half dozen contestants who gathered at Cherrys on Fire Island last June to compete for the oh so coveted title of the first "Mr. Fire Island Bear". It was a packed crowd and the night was kind of thrilling as both Beardonna and Vita Summers did multiple numbers and our judges - Beardonna, Vita and Bambi Sue and Killer from HX mag days of yore participated by being on stage at times for various parts of the contest. As they say in the Wisconsin I came from, a good time was had by all.
As a side note, Chris will be stepping down exactly four months from today, on Saturday, June 11 again at Cherrys. You can click here to go to the Fire Island Bear weekend contest page and sign up to be a contestant in our second go round or just get the info you need to come out for the weekend and have some fun with us. Daniel Nardicio and Logan Hardcore are joining us again this year, see schedule for deets.
At Bingo, Chris graciously brought along a jockstrap to auction off and the bidding was fierce eventually going to La Diva an Imperial Court pal of Witti's who generously gave without hesitation. My favorite photo from the night was from the auction where I pulled the jockstrap out and it reminded me of an old Coppertone ad. LOL! You can see this shot along with the rest of the pics by clicking here (thanks AB for taking so many great photos!)
Speaking of the Imperial Court, on Saturday, March 12th, the Court will celebrate 30 years of "Night of a Thousand Gowns"! Over the years they've raised thousands and thousands of dollars for New York LGBT charities. This year the show once again takes place at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. As always, it'll be a big show filled with production numbers and gorgeous costumes (plus, of course, a full dinner although there is an option to only go to the show later in the evening but it's a standing room only ticket). You can see full deets at the Imperial Court site but be warned, they're overhauling the design so it might be a little confusing.
As you may remember, Witti was the Empress of the Court a few years ago but not being the current one in charge hasn't diminished Witti's community service - in January, she held her third annual "Broads, Bawds and Bachelorttes" event to benefit Iris House at the Metropolitan Room and raised a whopping $4500! Then, earlier this week, Witti starred in a staged reading of "Die Mommie Die" as a fundraiser for New Alternatives. She has a monthly show at Excelsior in Brooklyn (next one is tonight, Thursday, February 11th and then the next one is Thursday, March 10th) and, this July, I'll be co-emceeing her annual birthday party at Rockbar (naturally, more info to follow). PLUS if that's not enough, she's got a new project brewing matching talent to non profits for their events... more on this another time. :)
Whew. That's all for today - I'm going to take a hot shower and force this cold out of me. More tomorrow!
So, I'll say it - I'm enjoying this winter. It's a normal winter. It's cold. It snows. It's cold some more and it snow some more. I think we've all just forgotten that this is what winter is supposed to be rather than the snow-less winters we've had the past few years.
But even though my apartment is toasty, I could use a little warming up .... but that'll have to wait but for the moment, this pic of Dean Monroe from Falcon's DRIPPING WET 4. I don't think that there's a lot more that I can add to this (except, possibly my penis). :)
Good morning, peeps - I stumbled across some Raging Stallion media discs over the weekend - some of these are kind of old.. and by old I mean by internet standards, meaning, longer ago than last week.
Speaking of the Globes, the show wasn't Seth McFarlane or Ricky Gervais bad, but it got a little slurry - whomever decided to drop ecstasy into the punch should really have waited until the after party. Last night's Globes were the only award show where the breathalizer test is given to people while they're still at their table. And I guess we'll see more hot messes like Johnny Depp struggling to announce "12 Years a Slave" (which I could have sworn he said "12 Days a Sailor") as pot becomes legal in more places. Good thing that these people have drivers!
This week, at P*rno Bingo, we're celebrating Marriage Equality with two awesome performers - Liz Fonseca and the always amazing Justin Utley. Come on down, play some bingo, win some Lucas Entertainment flicks and help raise funds for the continued fight for Marriage Equality. Click here to see the Facebook invite and I'll see you at Uncle Charles this Wednesday night, January 15th.
That is, unless Spencer Reed shows up with ecstasy punch. Just putting it out there. :) LOL
It's Friday night and the Bad Boys on the Hudson party is less than 48 hours away - and so, as a way to get you revved up for Sunday night, here's a little gallery of images taken by awesome photographer Gustavo Monroy at the 2010 Bad Boys party of all the stars who participated in one of our best nights ever!
Good afternoon peeps - after a tough past 24 hours that saw the passing of one of the industry's biggest names, I thought today I'd give us all a treat with today's Hunk O The Day, Spencer Fox. Spencer stars in the latest Jocks flick CABIN FEVER Part 1.
As for that passing, I have a few thoughts which I am still composing and will hopefully share this evening or tomorrow morning before heading downtown for Folsom East (weather is expected to be good, my leather is all packed, I'm pumped and ready to have fun.. in just 24 hours from now!)
On a related note, I've had only one or two complaints that Bingo pics from the past few weeks haven't been posted and while I really do have every intention of getting those posted pretty much within a few days of the event itself, lately there have been a lot of things demanding my time - and frankly, although I love the show, sometimes processing the pictures is, quite simply put, dull and kind of tedious.
So when I'm not working, or looking for work or, you know, sleeping, sometimes in the few moments that I do get to just hang out, the last thing on Earth I want to do is to sort through pics (aka do more work).
Also, for me (and the people that plan Pride related events) Pride starts in early May and runs through til the end of this week. I usually don't have much to do after the pre-Pride Bingo but this year I do .. and so it might be another week before they get posted.
The good thing about posting pics weeks later, is the fun of seeing bunches of shows simultaneously. :) On the other hand, why is someone else deciding when is the 'right' time for me to post pics from my show? As a team of one (at least outside the actual show) it's up to me when things happen on this end.
Have a great afternoon all - I have work to do, muscles to get bigger, a piece of leather to get finished and then dinner to make before I'm back here to post some other bits and go to a big Pre Pride party. You know, when it rains, you just have to get wet. :)
Good afternoon all - I don't know about you but I could really use some hot sexy companionship these days - but in lieu of that, here's my favorite Hunk of today - Dylan Roberts from Jocks' Cabin Fever Part 1. Friendly smile, great physique and I love a man that knows how to work drawstrings (although I'd be happy to be perpetually naked with him, no pajama pants needed, really) :) See more at the Falcon Studios site. :)
This past Saturday night was New York's infamous Black Party held at Roseland, a big dance/concert space in midtown. Whether you were up for it or dead set against it you were certainly aware of it -(and I met both in my travels - it's sort of like the Oscars - everyone likes to bitch about it but everyone still watches).
Because there were no cameras or cellphones I did a little drawing of a Black Partygoer (and truth to tell, I saw only three guys on their cells while I was there.. it was heavenly to see people actually invested in each other rather than cruising on Grindr).
For me, the day, Saturday March 24th, really started Friday night. My best friend Matt was in from San Fran and as a birthday present, took me out to dinner and drinks. We considered going to the Hookies (the escort awards also at Roseland) and I was excited when I saw host Alec Mapa scrambling up 9th Avenue towards the venue around 9:30 (the show started at 10 so I was like "well, that's not starting on time") but once we started hanging out at Posh and I Jolened a cute guy that we shared a couch with we just couldn't tear ourselves away from the place, the music was excellent - we got drunk, er, uhm 'had birthday drinks' and lipsynched to "Vogue" (not surprisingly we both know the little monologue interlude thing down pat) and Black Box's "Everybody Everybody" (from their Dreamland album which is pretty awesome- probably one of the more underrated from the early 90s.. and yes I have it on cassette and it's in the drawer next to Bananarama, Climie Fisher and... Rick Astley DON'T JUDGE ME!! LOL btw their version of Earth, Wind and Fire's "Fantasy" is really awesome - see below).
The next day at the Black Party Expo, I ran into my studly friends from the Eagle as well as Colton Ford (who has a new single coming out from a forthcoming album), Kennedy Carter, CB Kirby and watched as various rent boys took the stage to show off. It's a fun daytime event for the gays who want to meet and meat the porn stars and see them perform without paying the $140 for the Black Party ticket.
Lots of leather companies represented and a few video companies (and fewer bareback companies than I'd noticed in previous years - Lucas Entertainment still dominates though - I can't imagine why Raging Stallion and their crew aren't represented but then, I guess the economy - and pirating - has really fucked over the entire industry). I knew it was time to leave when I got invited to participate in a jello wrestling match. Just say no, just say no I heard Nancy Reagan whisper in my ear.
After a generous disco nap, I got up around 4:30 in the morning, showered and got dressed in a kind of super slo-mo "I don't know or care when I'm arriving" kind of way. I ended up arriving around 6:30 and spent three hours dancing, schmoozing and, in one case, making out with the boyfriend of a friend of mine. I felt like a whore but I think that's the whole point of the Black Party.
Along the way I watched a bukkake scene on stage that I would later christen "Bukkake Kubuki" (since the whole evening had a Japanese theme) which one friend suggested should be the name of a weekly event (I agree). My friend Barbara who smudges the place beforehand showed up in a black wig that made her look less like a Geisha and more like Snooki (not the intended effect I think). I was also amused to catch one partygoer wearing a Girl Scout skirt. At first I thought it was a utilikilt until I saw the plaid pattern and then realized that it was an actual skirt. I would have asked him for a Dulche de Leche but in the context I think I would have been back at the Bukkake scene (not that there would have been anything wrong with that mind you).
I realized just how many people in New York I actually know now as at every turn I was running into friends or colleagues and in some cases, finding them in a uhm compromising position - you know the kind you want to see your friends in but you wouldn't want them to know you'd seen it (yeah, I know that's what XTube is for).
You know, like cruising a friend on Manhunt. You're both sort of embarrassed but both secretly wonder if it's worth ditching the friendship for a quick roll in the hay because you didn't realize that he had THAT under his clothes.
For the first couple hours, the music had been kind of all Junior Vasquezy - monotone beats for hours (someone actually made up a sign and held it up and walked around Norma Rae style that read: MUSIC IS BORING and I wondered if he meant ALL music or just what was playing? I was going to ask but my mind wandered and I started planning the first week of Bukkake Kabuki instead) :) but then thankfully a new DJ got on board and started playing actual songs with lyrics... and melodies. The first one was Whitney's "Greatest Love of All".
Naturally when you're dancing with 4,000 of your closest friends and a sentimental song comes on, you feel a little goofy about enjoying it...the man gene is strong ... But then suddenly the gay gene overrides that and once again you are lip-syncing with the song and doing a happy dance... and you know, feeling it. A couple of those types of songs and I was back in the glory days of the 90s when all the clubs played actual songs with lyrics and melodies - and I am pretty sure it's why I liked going out then more then than I do now, when it seems that partygoers have to do incredible amounts of drugs just to get the same happy thrill that was accomplished by one Whitney song (and of course the irony in that is not lost on me either). :)
One of the many side effects of crystal meth in the gay culture is the legacy of grim and yet jittery club goers who mechanically get through a night while simultaneously chewing off their lips. Thankfully it's fewer out on the dance floor than it used to be but it's a remarkable ripple effect when the DJ plays anything with a lyric, the whole place transformed and kind of wakes up (yes, just in case you didn't know it, I'm one of those fags that finds more happiness in the song sung by a pop culture diva than in a snort of something or popping of a pill).
Anyway, there were tons of other events happening last night after the Black Party but I couldn't be bothered, I had had fun and was done. Once I'd arrived home around noon and made lunch, I was happy just to spend the cloudy, slightly rainy Sunday indoors, on the couch and loafing for all I was worth. And I did, I sure did.
Finally, here's the version of "Fantasy" by Black Box's Dreamland album... still holds up 20 years later!
Good afternoon peeps - today's Hunk O The Day is Donny Wright, a young dark haired cutie from Naked Sword's GOLDEN GATE.
There's a smattering of hair on the chest for those of you who like a little rough with their smooth, and plenty of smooth for those of us who can't get enough of that right now.
As a side note -someone wrote me after some past blog posts confused that I was into smooth chests when I've always talked about admiring hairy chests. What can I tell you? My sense of what is erotic is evolving - God, I hope your tastes evolve over time and that what worked for you ten years ago isn't still what you're into today. My tastes change fairly regularly although it's usually pretty tried and true that a great smile and a thick chest will reduce me to a blushing giggling mess. It's also true that a personality that I'm turned on by will circumvent pretty much everything that I say I want/need/am turned on by... isn't this how it is for you all too?
Last night we raised $725 for Visual AIDS and were visited by New York's Imperial Court. More on that and pictures this weekend - along with pics from the past few weeks. You know, I've been a little under the weather the past few weeks in a lot of different ways, but I think I have, as they say, turned a corner. Being in an extended funk (as opposed to 'what's that smell?, oh yeah someone's manfunk") sort of makes sorting through hundreds of Bingo pics the last thing on my list but as I've turned that corner, I'll be catching up in the coming days.
In the meantime, it's been a few days since I posted a Hunk O The Day so here for your visual enjoyment is Jeremy Bilding from Naked Sword's Golden Gate flick. As I've mentioned in previous posts, I'm in a place in my life where the smooth look has become quite a turn on for me - and so while I know some of you will think that his body is too Ken dollish, I am kinda wild over how defined it is - and also how pumped up his pecs are (I have a huge fetish for a great muscled up chest- if only Chestmen of America was still a thing in the world!)
Anyway, will be back later with one oddball gay thing or another.
On a kind of separate but semi related note, next week's beneficiary, the lovely and super interesting Jo Arnone, has had to cancel her appearance due to some medical issues (nothing life threatening) so I'll have her back later in the spring. I'm happy to report that Mr. Eagle 2011 CB Kirby will be joining my other guest, singer Andromeda Turre (courtesy of Rock and Rawhide) and I for a fun night at Pieces raising money for Braking the Cycle. More info over the next few days but also looking forward to some pretty awesome guests in February (details coming soon) and some pretty fun faboo hotties in March (like Pete Finland on March 21st just in time for the Black Party).
Have a great day everyone, it's a little grey here in New York but a little warmer than it's been.. not bad for a late January day, eh?
