Off To FIre Island!

It may be late in the season, but Timmy and I are headed to Fire Island today to take our chances with risky rainy weather... always nice to get away for a few days and hang with gays, gays and more gays.

Happy Hour: West Village's Ty's

Ah, the old stand-by. Ayhan and I had a pre-birthday drinkie over the weekend at our beloved Ty's on Christopher Street... While there, observed both pretty pussy and a hot dude.

Justin Bieber Doll: Tell Me When It Hurts

Tweens may be excited that they now have the opportunity to sleep with their mop-top androgynous castrada hero Justin Bieber. I say, let's pull out the sewing needles and have a little voodoo fun! Wonder how long it will be before these join all the Hilary Duff and Miley Cyrus merchandise at the Dollar Store?( From Gawker.com)

"Sound Of Music" Cast To Reunite!

Playbill reports that for the first time in 45 years, the entire surviving cast of the movie musical "The Sound of Music" will reunite on "Oprah" on Friday, Oct. 29! Except, you know, for the presence of loudmouth Oprah, is that a kick in the lederhosen or what?

Scheduled to appear are: Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, along with Charmian Carr (Liesl), Nicholas Hammond (Friedrich), Heather Menzies-Urich (Louisa), Duane Chase (Kurt), Angela Cartwright (Brigitta), Debbie Turner (Marta) and Kym Karath (Gretl).

The 1965 film won the Oscar for Best Picture and, next to "Auntie Mame," is my favorite movie of all time.

Happy Birthday From Wikipedia!

Sunday Sidewalk Sale: Bomb!

After a three-week delay, our building's semi-annual sidewalk sale finally took place last Sunday. And it rained. Again. Worse, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., I pocketed all of $57, thanks to the recession (that's over, you know). Who can afford to buy someone else's junk? Obviously, few. So most of mine went into the dumpster. Time to minimize.Here's my shit...

Din Din: All The Meat You Can Eat

For my birthday din din, I asked Ayhan to escort me to Plataforma Churrascaria in midtown, a Brazilian meat-fest. This is the kind of upscale joint that your waistline can only take once a year... You start at the "salad bar," with all sorts of grains and veges, along with an amazing asparagus risotto; then add such sides as delish cheese bread called pão de queijo; and then the parade of meat on skewers arrives: several cuts of beef, chicken, pork, lamb... It's remarkably good, if not overwhelming. Sadly, after 40 minutes, we had to call a cease fire. I wish I could have kept going all night.The only view I care to share of Ayhan & meese following that gutbuster.

A Stroll Down Avenue A

On the way to happy hour Friday at Black Market, with my Nikon S4000 pal in hand, I snapped picolas of local life along Avenue A, from 6th up to 14th Street. Still looks like "the real" Manhattan, eh?

Happy Birthday Olivia Newton-John!!!!!!!!

First there was Olivia! The queen turns 62 today.

No Talent? Then Just Look Ridiculous!

The Smoking Nun's Fave New Nepotistic No-Talent Willow Smith, the 9-year-old kid of Will and Jada, shows off her latest stupendously bad attempt at standing out in a crowd with mamer in Milan. My eyes are starting to water as they dart back and forth in skittish rhythm from her dumbass hair to her fucked-up train wreck of an outfit. Honey, go home and hide til you're 16!

Sesame Street's Double-D Standard

All over the web... not only how ludicrous it is that "Sesame Street" pulled Katy Perry's video because a handful of prudish parents complained she showed cleavage—but scandalous evidence that Miss Piggy has historically shown more tit in her vampish outfits that KP dared to.
