Fashion : A&F Controversy

“I like girls that wear Abercrombie & Fitch” are the lyrics from the popular song “Summer Girls” by LFO, a popular band back in 1999. It was a big hit back then and I am sure that it led to some big money for Abercrombie & Fitch.

I met my first partner in 2003 and all he would wear was A&F. He was obsessed. His wardrobe was at least a few thousand dollars. We were the same size so I also got to wear some of his clothes when I wanted to.

Watch This : Carl Proposed To Drew #Flashmob

May 11th Carl insisted that his mother bring Drew to Bethesda Fountain in Central park. Drew had no idea what was waiting for him… Carl was going to propose to him.

These flash mobs always make me cry, I don’t know why… Maybe because I get emotional to see people’s happiness? Maybe because I’m single? lol

I started crying as soon as the song “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri started, can you do better?

Congratulations to Carl and Drew for their engagement!

Watch the video above and let me know your thoughts.

Health : NYC Meningitis

New York Times is reporting a meningitis that is attacking and has killed a number of gay/bisexual men in the city. It is easier to catch than HIV. By saliva..kissing, sharing a cigarette or joint or being sneezed on. The good news is there is a meningitis vaccine that if received will protect guys for up to five years. And they are trying to get the news out before all the gay pride events this summer cuz we gay guys love to travel. Definitely check with your Dr. to see if you have had that vaccine in the last five years and get it if not.  Over 10,200 vaccinations have been given in NYC at clubs, sex clubs, house parties. 50% of the cases have been from the African-American gay/bisexual community and 18% from Hispanic and rest from white guys. It does not seem to infect women. Check out the article in New York Times!

Health : Bareback Only!

I’ve been noticing a lot of profiles lately where neg guys are looking for other neg guys for bareback sex. This doesn’t surprise me.  What surprises me is how willing guys are to believe these potential dates when they tell them they are negative. Can we really trust someone we just met when they tell us they are HIV negative? 

The best advice anyone can give you is to assume everyone is positive and fuck accordingly. That being said, I am guessing the majority of guys can be trusted but as we know it’s always that one bad seed.  

Your local pharmacy might have the answer you are looking for. The In Home 20 minute HIV test. Check this out. Let’s say you are online cruising for Mr. BB for NEG Only. You find him, tag him and he is on his way over. He gets to your place and you ask him if he will take the test.  

Stories : Dancin’

Just a few years ago, before the gay clubs were bulldozed on Peachtree Street and made way for condo skyscrapers to house well-appointed Yuppies and Guppies, I loved to go dance my ass off all night at Backstreet.  This club had a special 24/7 liquor license and never closed their doors, always serving up drinks and house music for the local gay boys and visitor’s to stumble out at daybreak into the sunny haze of  HotLanta.  It was in a prime location where Midtown boasted high-rise hotels, the Fox Theatre, great restaurants, all within walking distance of just a few blocks.  You never knew who might show up at Backstreet to get drunk or dance with hot boys or move upstairs to watch Charlie Brown’s cabaret style drag shows.

On a blazing hot summer Saturday night, I was dancing and sweating off too many shots of Jose Cuervo 1800 when a group of hot, totally well-built, shirtless, African-American gents slid gracefully up beside me.  They moved around in precise, professionally trained, choreographed ease on the dance floor without the usual applause.  In my drunken stupor, I did remember that the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre Troupe was performing at the Fox for a two week stay. And, I just knew these fellows had to be part of the finest American dancing professionals to grace stages all over the world. Golden tequila shots always transformed my shy personality into a radiant, rosy-cheeked, over indulgent flirt of a dancer.  I was known for backing my ass up on guys when their swagger moved me to grind into a well-endowed crotch.  Dancin’ too close was more often the way of the Backstreet gay boy’s packed-in crowd.
