Gridlocke: a bit of horn tooting but also something terrific

Some amazing people I know started a tumblr devoted to designing image grids around all kinds of themes. There are some really amazing things here and I was fortunately asked to create a post, so I thought I could use this venue to both show some jokes I made (with deep props to my friend […]

Ugh, I know. But I’m Born This Way

Ok everybody. Simmer down. I’ve done some research into the Born This Way – Express Yourself issue. For what it’s worth I’ve really come around on Born This Way. My inner gay homo is just too strong to reject it. Born This Way in the Midwest? This particular one is sui generis when it comes […]

Yo Gabba Gabba, Great Job!

I recently came across a children’s television phenomenon called Yo Gabba Gabba! Parents in the audience are surely already way onto this scene… but it’s basically a dance/fun troupe lead by DJ Lance, who might have in fact been a member of Deee-lite at some point. He dj’s for a rag-tag team of fun-loving monsters, […]

At the risk of saying this, I’m saying this

Listen. I’ve heard these songs at more gay bars than you will ever shake a very-gay stick at. I’ve rolled my eyes at Splash!… at Barracuda!!… at Gym Bar!!! I fucking challenge you to be more rolly-eyed. But then something happened and I know exactly when it was: I saw the video for Lady Gaga’s […]

Vampire Sagas: I’ve had it.

The other day when I was walking around the city I saw the poster for this movie and it made me laugh. Maybe I’m not in touch with my inner teenager but haven’t we really reached the end of the road in terms of vampire trilogies when the title is The Vampire’s Assistant? I don’t […]

“Facial Sessions”: How does this mask DO that?

This is something I’ve been obsessed with for awhile… the images of people wearing it are unbelieve-amazing. So I’m just logging it here for posterity. Facial-posterity. I feel like this signals that as a society we’re maybe ready to consider if we even care about the impact that hiring horror-film-quality masks to tone our faces […]

pirates. drugs. gay marriage.

This has a tinge of cheesy-ness to it but I feel like I would be remiss not to point it out. Please stay tuned until the middle part for the Katie Couric part. Um…. sha day! And if you want to follow the thread, which I recommend (but you have to wait until the end […]

Police: Karaoke singer attacked over performance

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) — Police say a woman singing karaoke in a Connecticut sports bar was attacked by six other women who didn’t like her performance. The attack on the 25-year-old woman from Port Chester, N.Y., happened during karaoke night at Bobby Valentine’s Sports Gallery Cafe in Stamford. Authorities say the six women, all under […]

It was covered by some artists

I was recently talking with someone about Pia Zadora. Sort of a “whatever happened to so and so…” and isn’t her name just automatically dirty sounding but also about how she was how I first learned as a kid that Showtime can be steamy and naughty late at night. Well a quick consultation with wikipedia […]

Unsolicited Rant: The Black Eyed Peas

Is it just me or is everything about The Black Eyed Peas annoying? Each and every one of those peas makes me mad in a way that is not commensurate with their impact on my life history. I mean: I don’t know or listen to their music. I don’t have a specific complaint about what […]
