Crafty, Crafty Boozers

It’s amazing what a little tequila can do for one’s creativity. And even more incredible what a lot of tequila can accomplish.

Small Town’s Got Talent

There’s a new televised reality competition premiering today. WAIT! Don’t stop reading. This one’s pretty cool. And very, very sweet. Ditching the glitz, glamour and high production value of network TV’s biggest talent searches, Showville is purposefully thinking small. As in small town. Each week, judges Alec Mapa and Lisette Bustamante (above) land in a [...]

Laters, Taters

Unconventional marriages have gotten out of control. Just as the wacky ultra-conservatives have predicted, the slippery slope is upon us. First it was mixed races walking down the aisle. Then came the gays. Skipping. But now, we’ve catapulted right past their predictions of man marrying animal and welcomed the ultimate abomination into our great American [...]

Pianist Lovers

Even in death, few things on earth are gayer than Liberace. Ghost hunters at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills have consistently recorded otherworldly shouts of “Boo!” With a lisp.

Insta Replay

Not to brag or anything, but we take a lot of great photos. Problem is, most of them never get beyond the camera roll on our iPhone. And that has nothing to do with the fact that 80% of them are nude selfies shot in a bathroom mirror. Well, now there’s a service that takes [...]

Spock and Awe

Those lips. Those eyes. Those…pointy ears. Something has clicked deep inside us, stirring emotions we didn’t know existed. Thanks to show-stopping performances and feats of nimble, athletic machismo by gay heartthrob Zachary Quinto (Spock) and straight-but-we-sure-wish-he-were-gay Chris Pine (Captain James T. Kirk), it’s time for us to come out of the closet. We’re here. We’re [...]

Haunting Sounds

Today, electronica makes a comeback. The delightfully retro but unabashedly contemporary new album, Pale Green Ghosts, is one of those great records that feels immediately familiar. Like a long-lost love sticking his tongue in our ear. It’s the second album for recording artist John Grant, but the first since the openly gay singer learned via [...]

Pleasure Island

Imagine a place where the turquoise sea splashes up against white sand beaches while a steel drum band plays “Limbo Rock” as you make love to a hot, eye-patched, peg-legged pirate and an islander braids your hair while feeding bananas to the toucan perched on your shoulder, dancing lightly to the sounds of children blowing [...]
