BI-CURIOUS? — Say again? Did The New York Times just report that a new version of West Side Story is being staged partially en Español? Would Rita Moreno approve or scowl in the face of the new Spanish speaking Sharks? Somebody please get her agent on the phone. Stat.
More than 50 years after the musical “West Side Story” had its original Broadway premiere, it is set to return in February in a darker, grittier, bilingual revival, the show’s producers said on Wednesday. [NY Times]
I always joke about being on a “low food” diet. The Onion goes further. With beach season in full swing, you can’t let yourself go. Who knew a box of Kleenex has half the caloric intake of a wash cloth? Time to sew our mouths shut again.
HAPPY PRIDE – I’m often cynical about queer culture. I roll my eyes at MSG’s, and I question the importance of camp. Generally suspect of drag culture, I challenge myself about what gay means anymore. But yesterday afternoon from a Christopher Street apartment window — a rainbow jello shot in hand and an insatiable, thunderous, soaked crowd below — I took a deep breath to hold back any tears. It was probably just the MJ kicking in. More… »
Our Gay Gamer Dan tipped me off to this last week. First, let me say, we rarely, if ever, refer to things as being “gay.” Like when you’re trapped in a suburban mall in the middle of Nothingville and you turn the corner into the neon-lit food court and you overhear two prepubescent boys ejaculate: “That’s gay.” But, once you watch this video, you’ll find that there’s really only one way to describe the voice over talent. It’s just really fucking gay. No judgment. As my dear friend Steve says: “the girlier the better!”
Again this year, few women make the cut in what The Independent deems Britain’s 100 “most influential” gay and lesbian movers and shakers (and a few unsung heroes). Luckily, our favorite DILF Ian McKellen proves that he can still turn us out any day. More… »
SNAP, CRACKLE, POP - After watching this video, you’ll want to invest in a headset my dear homo. At least that’s what the manufacturers at Cardo’s blue tooth headset division want you to believe. This publicity video alleges that if one puts corn kernels in front of cell phones, the waves emitted at the time of a call create enough heat to pop, pop, pop the kernels into popcorn. Good thing it’s fake, because it’s either a really great cost cutting method (free popcorn!!!), or the sloping decay of our collective brains into Sunday matinee mush. Butter and salt are not included.
Oh wait, I’m getting a call. Hold on. [Koreus]
VIRAL - The “I’m Voting Republican” video has been making the rounds online, and it makes me happy. Thanks Nicole for the heads up. No offense to our many, many Log Cabin subscribers….(or their pig-bottom life-partners).
LEZ-BE FRIENDS – There must be a new lesbian photo editor at the Village Voice, because every time I log on to their site for my weekly dose of Michael Musto and Lynn Yaeger, I’m accosted by photo essays of lesbians making out, lesbians covered in oil, lesbians getting naked. You get the point. I’m not complaining, only observing. So, to remind us all that PRIDE is on the brink, this week the Voice includes such diverse topics as: “fag football,” Sex Clubs, a man with a p*ssy, power lesbians, and straight guys who like it in the ass (ie pegging). Need some eye candy on this hungover Thursday (because you know you are), check out this photo essay by Andy Kropa and Maro (below). More… »
SEXY BITCH - Here’s the second set of images from the Village Voice’s non-ending coverage of all things lesbian. I’m not excited that the two women (Lesbian Van Halen and musician Vero) in this photo feature adopted the names “Paco and Pancho” for their Brokeback Mountain performance — leaves a bad taste in my mouth — but I’ll let it slide. Since, they are family and all. More… »
LIFT EVERY VOICE — Sunday nights have been mostly black at LA’s most popular gay bar, The Abbey, but now its owner is hoping to drive out the black crowd by introducing… karaoke — the Kryptonite of black people everywhere. My friend Olivia once told me that black people don’t like Mayonnaise, but she forgot to add drunk, white guys belting out show tunes to her list. My boy Paul over at GayBarCulture.com tipped me off.
