Big Lug Review

Big Lug’s opening was a roaring success, judging by the huge line of hairy men waiting on Avenue A when I light-weighted out of there at 1130PM. A regular JMG blogroll who’s-who was on hand: Mark (The Mark Of Kane), Eric (We Like Sheep), Jeff (Cynically Optimistic), Paul (Habitat 67), Bryce (Plastic Music), Neil (Diary Of A Dandy) Foxy (Fox …

Morning View – Bamm Automat

This morning, your view is the Bamm Automat, NYC’s new and only automat, since the last one closed on 42nd Street in 1991. I finally got a look at Bamm in the East Village last night and while I understand the retro-kitsch of the joint (and the place is very neat looking in a pink-Hello Kitty-7/11 kind of way), the …

Another October Surprise

When the Foley page scandal broke in late September, it was due to the anonymous blogsite Stop Sex Predators, who posted copies of emails that Foley had sent to a 16 year old page. The authorship of Stop Sex Predators has been a source of widespread speculation, with accusations aimed at both the Democrat and Republican parties. Since last week, …

Craigs Clams Up

If you were a powerful Republican senator who’d been falsely accused of cheating on your wife with men you’d met in train station restrooms, wouldn’t you come out swinging against your accuser? Press conferences, lawyers, lawsuits, chat shows? Well, maybe you wouldn’t, if you thought that the story would scarcely be touched by the MSM. That’s been largely the case …

Subway Stats

Is Your Betty Ready?

You may recall me blogging about the Philips Bodygroom, the self-proclaimed first-ever trimmer for “down there” that promised men that reducing their amount of pubic hair would give them an “extra optical inch”. Now comes Betty, the first-ever dye specifically for “the hair down there.” Betty comes in five colors, including hot pink. You can also buy a “My Betty …

Morning View – Crystal Cathedral

Every block in midtown has at least one little tchotchke shop with dozens of crystal statues of NYC landmarks in their window. This one is on the 42nd Street side of Grand Central, where I’m told the World Trade Center items outsell all others 10-1. In the days immediately after 9/11, every souvenir in town depicting the WTC sold out, …

Two Week Notice

The mid-term elections are two weeks away. Looking over the statewide New York State ballot, it appears that I will be voting a straight-Democratic ticket: Spitzer, Patterson, Hevisi, Cuomo, Clinton. No surprises there. Sen. Hillary Clinton has an 88% approval rating from the HRC, although they probably held their nose while doing so, considering she still will not come out …

PSB Continue Blitz of New Releases

The last few months have been a true bonanza for the hardcore fanboys, as the Pet Shop Boys have delivered four full CDs and a handful of b-side chocked singles. First, in June they dropped the Fundamental double-set, which returned the Boys to standard glorious form, after 2003’s interesting, but ultimately unsatisfying experiment, Release. And yesterday I got my grubby …

Superdaddy And His Furryboy Harem

This photo from yesterday is pretty representative of our Sunday evenings. Superdaddy stands near the jukebox and rest of us are mere hairy manplanets in his powerful orbit. You can see how he hates it. And who would have thought that Lil Jon’s Get Low would set an entire room of bears to wildly shakin’ their groove thing?

Justice

Review of Hot House porn video Justice, after the jump. Contains some relatively tame but possibly NSFW photos. From Hot House, a San Francisco-based outfit that is successfully working the lightly-tread line between the pretty boys of Bel Ami and the hairy daddies of Titan Media, comes Justice, a 16-man round-bobbin’ of fucking, fisting and lots of enormous dildo action. …

*M*

According to Lady Miss Blogger, this is my 1000th post. It’s unreal that I’ve spewed that much nonsense in only 27 months, especially considering that for the first year I scarcely posted once a week. It reminds me of the woman who accused me of being with the CIA when she saw me taking pictures at the Iraq war protest. …

An Important Letter From A Reader

Sharing my concern over the cavalier attitude that so many young gay men seem to have regarding HIV, on Monday a reader sent me the chilling letter reprinted below. Please read this guy’s story and reconsider what you think you know about HIV being a “manageable disease.” For some people, it may be. But for many others, including this reader, …
