The 6 train platform, Saturday 3PMWoman 1: I’m just sorry I slept with them. Woman 2: Well, you were drunk. Woman 1: Yeah, but now today I’m all red and itchy. Woman 2: Right? And you can’t put anything in there, cuz you’ll make it worse. (Horrified, the women realize I’m standing there.) Woman 1: Hey, we’re just talking about …

Obama-Clinton? Or Clinton-Obama?.

Homeland Security is going to post “nuke detectors” in a ring around New York City and in key city center locations, hoping to detect dirty radiation bombs before they can be detonated. Still, it seems that just about anybody with a dirty bomb and access to a small boat could set something off within a hundred feet of the world’s …

Well, now I know why I ran into Erasure’s Andy Bell way up in Portland, Maine back in October, as today Billboard is reporting that’s where Erasure recorded their new album, Light At The End Of The World, due in May. We’ll get to see the new material performed in this summer’s Pride season True Colors Tour, which will comprise …

An article about the Donnie Davies phenomenon in today’s Window Media publications (Washington Blade, NY Blade, Southern Voice, etc) features an interview with me. In case you don’t get enough of me here. And here’s an MTV News story featuring a hot tub interview with Joey Oglesby and the folks behind the Donnie Davies campaign. There are two screenshots of …

Detective Bart Lasiter was in his office studying the light from his one small window falling on his super burrito when the door swung open to reveal a woman whose body said you’ve had your last burrito for a while, whose face said angels did exist, and whose eyes said she could make you dig your own grave and lick …

Gay heartthrob Rufus Wainwright’s new self-produced album, Release The Stars, (executive producer Neil Tennant) will be released in May, following his April appearance at Coachella. The album was mixed by Marius De Vries (Madonna, Melanie C, Kylie Minogue). With De Vries’ client history and with Neil Tennant as exec producer, I’m very curious how Wainwright’s sound might change on Release …

According to the Journal of Neuroscience, there is finally direct evidence that humans secrete a scent that changes the chemistry of the opposite sex. At the study conducted at UC Berkeley, women who smelled a jar containing a chemical found in men’s sweat experienced higher sexual arousal, increased heart rate, and elevated mood. The women were smelling androstadienone, a “musky” …

Last weekend, my houseguest was my former boss, Jerry Suarez, his visit coincidentally beginning just a couple of days after I’d blogged about him in my post regarding the New York Times article about the AIDS Quilt. Jerry has been associated with the Quilt for almost 20 years now, starting in Miami as a panel maker for his father and …

Here’s the AP wire story. Unbelievable.

Christian rightwingers have set up ObamaNation.com to attack Sen. Barack Obama’s views on gay rights and abortion. The director of the group, Pastor Clenard H. Childress, Jr, says, “60 percent of all new AIDS cases in America will be the result of the violation of Leviticus 18:22 and Romans 1:27 (men having sex with men). If he were to become …

Next week’s WYSIWYG show is almost sold out, so if you’re planning on going, get your ticket today. There’s a feature story on the show in today’s New York Post, for which I gave the reporter hilarious pull-quotes. But you’ll have to come to the show to hear them because they got cut from the story.

Last night I attended a Mediabistro publishing industry mixer hosted at the Google headquarters in Chelsea. I usually don’t enjoy those sorts of things too much, there are always clumps of adverstising hotshots in severe black outfits and tiny cruel angular glasses who are compulsively checking their Blackberrys while shaking your hand. But last night’s event was actually pretty decent, …

New York City fired first in the latest round of the nanny-state oneupsmanship wars, banning trans-fats in its restaurants. California responded with the proposed calories-on-the-menu rule, seen a couple of posts below this one. Not to be upstaged, NYC is now pitching a “No iPods or cellphones in the intersection” rule, citing a spate of pedestrians mowed down because they …

I don’t belong to the website Bear411 but many of my friends do. The site bills itself as the “top bear website” and boasts over 100,000 members. Over the years, I’ve heard from a few of my friends that they have had difficulty getting a membership to the site, presumably because they don’t meet the bear “standard”, namely that they …

State Senator Carole Migden (D-SF), a potential San Francisco mayoral candidate, has proposed a bill which will require all chain restaurants, even those with only one California location, to post the caloric count for their food items in “plain view” on menus or menu boards. I’ve seen these sort of posters in McDonald’s and Burger King, usually hidden behind a …
