Public Appearances

by Michael Jeffrey

“I just told her plain and simple,” said Chase as she slid out of the passenger’s seat and began adjusting her new maternity dress in the Black Party parking lot. “I want to look sexy and pregnant. Not resemble a float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving ‘Gay’ parade.”

“Well, mission accomplished,” I said lovingly grasping her baby bump with both hands.

“Aw, thanks babe. I mean, why pay $300 for a dress I’ll only look good in when I’m knocked up anyway?” she said. “Please! I went to Target and lived for only $19.99.”

I wish I could have said the same but unlike Chase I’m not happily married with children in suburban bliss.

A single man of a certain age living alone in Midtown has but one responsibility to himself: sustain marketability at any costs. Sometimes that meant an extra class of Pilates. For the Black Party it meant Louis Vuitton dress shoes I’d spend the next fiscal year paying off on my credit card.

But tonight was full of so many different possibilities. I couldn’t afford to misstep even an inch. Not only was it the climax event of the Fall season, but it was also set to be the first time my family of close friends would meet the guy I’ve been on 3.5 dates with and am totally beginning to fall for.

While others might find this a joyous milestone in a new courtship, for me it’s a bit like divulging to my new love that I’d been raised in the wilderness by a pack of rabid wolves.

My friends are not the easiest bunch to please.

Time, however, has taught me it’s better to introduce them to someone I’m interested in early on. If he can survive through all the scrutiny or the sharp tongued battles that break out so frequently between us, then he’s surely tough enough to endure the next three dates or so with me.

“Now remember,” I said delicately to Chase as we approached the door, “there are people in here I know professionally.”

“Oh, so you get paid for doing ‘that’ now?” she said with a smile.

“Look, all I’m saying is please try and behave.

And for God sake don’t let me catch you popping and shaking your pregnant ass on the dance floor either.”

“But what if they play Rihanna? I can’t be held responsible if ‘Only Girl in the World’ comes on. I’m just going to tell you that right now.”

“Fine,” I said half-heartedly. “Can you just make it a real discrete booty pop? Like the kind only you and I will notice?”

“I’ll try,” she said loosely. And with that fragile promise between us we stepped into a room filled with more friends and beautiful faces than I could count. Immediately we were joined by the rest of the gang and the party officially took off.

As the drinking commenced I tried to pace myself, still keeping in the back of my mind that my new interest could appear out of the crowd at any moment. It wasn’t long though before I lost my cocktail count and along with my handle on Chase for that matter.

Last I saw she had a lesbian couple rubbing her belly for good luck near the ladies restroom.

It wasn’t until I heard Rihanna over the loud speaker that I realized a situation was about to take place.

“Where’s Chase!” I blurted out frantically, beginning to maneuver my way through the massive crowd.

But just as I expected, there she was gyrating in front of the DJ booth, maternity dress riding up around her thighs, while the crowd surrounding her egged the whole performance on. Once I got closer I noticed the main instigator appeared to be my new guy (of all people) dancing simultaneously with her to the beat.

It hadn’t imagined their first meeting to go quite like this, but at least they appeared to be hitting it off. And while it may be true that you can choose your friends and not your family, you cannot always choose how they’ll behave once they’re out in public. Some things like Chase’s love of dance music just can’t be contained.

RESULTS

C) Aren’t fazed. Let the old bird have her fun.

If you chose mostly E’s you may be reading this from inside the clink. Though fashionable, talented, and fabulous, you’re best known for your sticky fingers. Your puritanical hypocrisy in this film even makes Glen Beck look pious. It’s a good thing this is a free publication, because would have taken one anyway. You are: Winona Ryder from The Crucible.

B) Always knew that tramp was a freak.

C) Worry that he makes a more convincing woman than you.

The Brent Star Report

Theme parties are back!

A couple of Fridays ago, I had the itch to do something different, so I went to my first FOAM party hosted by ‘Bedlam’ at My Sisters Room. Child, no one told me that the damn foam was going to be knee high. Suds and bubbles everywhere—I felt like I was inside a washing machine (now I know what my socks must go through). Even though I felt whore-ish wearing my brown skin tight short shorts (think Venus Williams see-through shorts back in May), I had a blast AND my hair didn’t get wet. Oh, there’s local singer Barry Brandon over there playing with the bubbles, let me go chat with him right quick. Um…don’t ask me how, but both of us are INSIDE this super size bubble that just keeps expanding! Oh well, while we’re stuck inside, let’s talk!

Brent: Hello Barry Brandon… have a few minutes?

Barry: Yessss Brent Starrrrrrr!

Brent: At least there are a lot of hot boys out there for eye candy… So my first question, what the hell is ‘Bedlam’?

Barry: Bedlam means a place, scene, or state of uproar and confusion... More commonly called a lunatic asylum. It’s the name we chose for our parties…

Brent: Our? You and Mr. Foam?

Barry: Jose and I. Brent: oh Jose Rodriguez, your partner in crime. I love to hear you guys sing at your concerts. So which one of you had the bright idea to throw a foam party?

Barry: Jose came up with the concept to bring themed parties back. He was inspired by the NYC scene where the club kid parties are getting big again, so we just came up with Bedlam and it took off. We’re doing it once a month.

Brent: And I see Kynckolas Davis is a part of this, he just made me this FABU cocktail before we got caught in this bubble.

Barry: Yep he’s the CREATIVE side of Bedham.

Brent: Yea, he’s pretty creative even though he’s gotten too busy for me…we used to do projects together, but now he doesn’t call…he doesn’t write…oh, sorry, back to this story, so when and what is your next theme party?

Barry: We’re calling it “Wacked Out Black Out” slated for November 12th. You should totally come.

Brent: huh? Explain THAT! Barry: Be prepared to be painted!

Brent: Painted?! Oh, I’m not into to all that. Na. Barry: Um…yea, so everyone wears white, bring goggles or sunglasses, and the ultra violet lights will make EVERYTHING Glow! Super soakers filled with 44 davidatlanta

Neon Paint!!! You are the canvas!

Brent: Ohhhh, we’ll be walking around glowing….like a bunch of glow worms….

Barry: loves.

Brent: I noticed quite a few females in here. I think it’s cool to integrate the parties sometimes….

Barry: Always. I HATE that this city is so segregated!

I started promoting at My Sisters Room instead of a gay bar because I knew that I already had a gay boy following---so I figured by infusing them into a lesbian bar they would go…next, is the straight bars.

Brent: Yea, I’ve been noticing more and more straight people have been coming to our clubs, lesbian and gay.

Child, my main two weekly gigs are at straight bars, Tijuana Garage (Saturdays) and Shout (on Tuesdays) and they live!

Barry: I know - Atlanta is ready to be more like Chicago, San Fran and NYC where everyone parties together.

Brent: Trust. So, what’s after the Blackout party?

Barry: In November, I’m doing the official after party for Robyn (Nov. 8th) and I’m also doing an after party for La Roux (Nov. 5th)— Brent: Sweet.

I’m going to her concert! Ms Bulletproof pussy!

Barry: lol. Oh, and I’m doing a show in Orlando on November 16th and also a screening of The Tin Man project on Nov 23rd in Ft Lauderdale--Brent: You betta work! So how’s the singing coming along?

Barry: Great! Jose and I have already written a bunch of new songs within the last few months---Brent: You know I love that Latte song and IDNU (I don’t need you)! Ok now that the bubble is gone, just one last thing…KUDOS for putting together the Candle Light Vigil for the teens who recently committed suicide.

Barry: I’m totally devastated about what happened. It caught a lot of us off guard because it’s like we live in this almost fantasy world (midtown) where we don’t see this happening.

Brent: Yea…trust me, I’ll be writing more about that!

Well, I’m about to go ‘bust some suds’! Holla!

Until next week, don’t read the girls, instead read The Brent Star Report!

Where to catch Brent Star: HALLOWEEN: The Laughing Skull, Sunday 31st (stand up gig), Tuesdays at SHOUT, Saturdays at Tijuana Garage, Thursdays and Sundays once a month at Burkharts an d everywhere else that pays!

Puede que se haya enfrentado con poquitito la consciencia al enterarse de la trágica fuerzas demasiado grandes para él. Puede que historia del talentoso y santo violinista, acosado por su estuviera enfermo. Puede que entender su muerte, compañero de cuarto que llegó al punto de subir a la la real causa de su muerte, sirva para algo. Puede internet un video donde tenía sexo con otro hombre. quizás hasta enseñarnos algo sobre el ser humano.

Pero ¿de qué sirve conmover a Doña Rosa? Total el Pero ¿conmoverse? ¿llorar? Hay muchos putos que día domingo va a misa y el cura le vuelve a lavar la cabeza a día sufren la discriminación y el acoso.....got leche? y en la próxima marcha antigay será la primera en la Hay locas de las que se ríen en todos lados. Está el fila (y éso sólo en el caso de Doña Rosa, porque está mariconcito del curso que se tiene que sentar solo, Doña Pepa y Don Closet que cuando leen la noticia, sacarse los chicles del pelo, hacer grupo con las mujeres sonríen y piensan “un puto menos” y después rezan y aguantar unas cuantas trompadas semanales y, así el Ave María). y todo, va al colegio. Está el afeminado de la cuadra ¿Qué clase de sentimientos quieren generar con ésto? del que todos se burlan porque se delinea los ojos y ¿Tenemos que creer que un chico de 18 años que camina como mina y así y todo va a comprar el pan y tocaba el violín y hacía petes en la supuesta intimidad la coca bancándose los insultos.

Un santo es alguien que no comete pecados, alguien Pero por esa gente no llora nadie. Nadie se conmueve casi irreal, como la Madre Teresa o Superman. Alguien ni llora por el que enfrenta esas “cositas” que tiene la que es tan bueno que no queda otra que burlarse de vida, porque es tan cotidiano que no logra la primera él o compadecerlo. Y un mártir es una persona que plana. muere por una causa. No sé que habrá pensado este Ahora, cuando uno de ésos muere golpeado, drogado chico a la hora de tirarse del puente. No sé si habrá o, porqué no, suicidado, ahí sí salen todos a llorar y pensado “ahora verán, con mi muerte haré que la hasta quizás hacen una misa en su memoria con los sociedad tome consciencia y deje de discriminar”.

Ask Momma Mona Hi All, My turn to share.

My mother unexpectedly passed away about three weeks ago. At first, I really did not feel anything. She had been an abusive mother and I married young just to get away. Bad move, but that’s another story.

Anyway, the morning after she died I engaged in a 2 am talk with the dead bitch in an effort to delve inside of myself to make sure I experienced a healthy closure. I was polite and said things like “Good for you” because she did not have to live another 8-10 years with Alzheimer’s and that she had lived her last year in an assisted living community where people said they loved her. It wasn’t much of a talk because I did not feel anything.

The next 2 am talk after the burial was different in that I awoke just boo-hooing away. Not so much about my mother as it was sadness about how her meanness had hurt me my whole life. Almost a freeing sensation in that it was finally over. I let the tears roll because I knew this was a good thing.

After that, I was feeling pretty OK. Still didn’t feel too much about her other than

48 davidatlanta davidatlanta

the jubilant song from Wizard of Oz: Ding Dong, the Wicked Witch is Dead!

But then two weeks later, I awoke at 2 am filled with anger and was not at all polite to the dead bitch. Every hurt came to the surface and I let my underlying feelings out like I had never done before. I screamed at her. I cried. I punched pillows. Every slight I could recall was verbalized.

Two hours later, I was exhausted, but felt I had finally gotten rid of all the stuffed and unattended hurt, pain, and anger that had accumulated throughout my life because of her unabashed meanness towards me.

It’s been about a week now and my feelings toward her are neutral again. In fact, a few days ago I had one last quickie 2 am talk where I expressed gratefulness for the gift of her passing because it stimulated and allowed me to address and release the negativity that had been stuffed inside for so long.

I wonder if that’s what it takes, death, to be able to release the hidden things within.

So this is Momma Mona’s question to you.

What do you think? What’s your experience losing a parent you did not like?

Momma Mona

Communication is much smoother this week, so make the most of the tools you’ve got. It’s a really good time for showing colleagues what’s going on -- there’s brainy energy to go around for everyone.

You’re feeling a little unsure of yourself lately -- but it’s a good thing! You’re letting go of some aspects of your personality that have been holding you back, so expect some serious progress soon.

Your communication style is making life a lot more interesting for you and your people. In fact, your vibrant energy is the hit of any party or other social gathering, so make sure that you hit a few.

You’ve got to make sure that you’re working through all your tasks this week -- otherwise, things are sure to get a little crazy!

Your energy is perfect for clearing your desk or making life easier in other ways.

You’re better able to express your ambitions lately. It’s a really good time for you to step up and tell the boss -- or whomever -- what you really want. Show that you really mean it, too!

You’ve got to be a stone-cold bitch right now. That doesn’t mean forcing toddlers to cry for fun, but it might mean saying no to an extremely determined child. Your logic is impeccable, so go for it.

Someone at work or in your circle of friends needs you to hear them out -- and you can get just as much from them. It’s a good time for you to sit down and share. What comes next could be huge!

One tiny detail is all it could take to ruin your week -- or to make it ten times brighter! Keep your eyes open and make sure that you watch for anything that seems odd or somewhat out of place.

You are the one in charge right now, whether that is formally acknowledged or not. You’ve got to give it your all if you want things to get better, though that may entail some after-work time.

You’re feeling somewhat flighty today, but it’s not such a bad thing. In fact, you may want to see if your work can handle you taking off for a bit, as things might start to get a little crazy inside soon!

Your love life is still super-charged right now -- so if it doesn’t seem that way to you, get out there and make something happen! You need to make sure that you’re better equipped for romance.

Can you stay put all week, or at least minimize your commute? That’s optimal for you now, as movement is somewhat inauspicious. The good news is that you can be quite productive in one place!

Atlanta A-Z

EPISODE TWENTY:

V is for

Vampire Once upon a time Luke went to a palm reader in Gwinnett County.

The palm reader told him, “You must move to Atlanta, Luke, for you will find love there.”

Luke called his friend Vesuvius St. Rene on his cell phone and cried into the phone, “So I met this guy at some bar in Midtown and we went back to his place and… and…” Luke sniffled, “…and when he took off his underwear I saw that he wasn’t circumcised!”

“What’s wrong with that?” Vesuvius asked, “I sort of like the uncut boys.”

“His foreskin…” Luke wept, “It was filled with smegma!”

“Oh dear God no!” Vesuvius made a face, “That’s disgusting!”

“I’m depressed.” Luke turned out his lower lip, “Can you come over?”

Vesuvius St. Rene had said, “Yes, certainly, absolutely. I’m on my way!”

On the drive over, Vesuvius realized he needed to come clean with Luke; he felt Luke should know about his true nature. He traveled through the night and came to Luke wet with tears of lust and desire.

For reasons he could not comprehend, Vesuvius was compelled to fess up to all the incongruous iniquity regarding his arrival in Atlanta and, let’s be honest, this whole ‘vampire story-arc’ is bizarre in its INCEPTION (starring Joey Gordon-Levitt).

Vesuvius raised his moist eyebrow and asked, “Mr. Pencil, do you remember him; the villain from a few weeks ago?”

“The guy who drugged me and kidnapped me 58 davidatlanta

and Scotch-taped me to a toilet while I was naked?

Yeah,” Luke nodded, “I remember him.”

“He called me here to Atlanta to kill you,” Vesuvius wiped the snot dripping from his nostrils with the back of his hand, “He wanted me to seduce you and suck your blood.”

“Why would he do that?” Luke shook his head in disbelief, “I thought Mr. Pencil had a crush on me.

Why would he want to have me killed?”

“He’s one-dimensional, Luke. Just like all the other characters in this ridiculous series.”

“Ridiculous!” Luke gasped, “I thought I was the only person left in the universe to still use the word ‘ridiculous’ in polite, everyday conversation.”

“You’re not the only one, Luke,” Vesuvius St. Rene winked. “That’s why I like you.”

“So Mr. Pencil sent you up here to suck my blood and that means you’re a vampire?” Luke wanted a drink, “A member of the undead, huh? Who do you take after, Jacob or the other guy?”

“Mr. Pencil is an evil man!” Vesuvius shivered in disgust, “He is a jealous old pervert.”

“He’s skinny.”

“And he’s rich.”

“He wants me dead and he sent for a vampire?”

Luke finally located a bottle of vodka hidden behind a hardback book called ‘Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang.’ Luke said, “I thought Mr. Pencil

wanted to play with my penis.”

“I want to play with your penis, Luke.” Vesuvius dropped to his knees, “Take it out and let me feast my eyes upon it.”

“Oh please,” Luke pulled on the vampire’s arm, “Get up off the floor! You’re not a vampire. Stop this nonsense.”

“No, Luke; look!” Vesuvius go-go danced in front of a nearby mirror, “No reflection.”

“Is it just me, or isn’t that whole vampire Eclipse saga thing just like; I don’t know; beating a dead horse already?”

“What are you asking me for?” Vesuvius St. Rene said, “I don’t write this stuff.”

“Wasn’t there a movie about that?” Luke said, “I think it was called VAMPIRES SUCK or something like that.”

The vampire shook his head, “I didn’t see it.”

“So you want my neck, do you?” Luke tipped his head and pushed his neck into the face of vampire, “There you are; my neck, you want it, take it already.”

Vesuvius felt his mouth water, he felt an erection in his pants, (and yes- the ‘David Atlanta’ version of a gay vampire can, in fact, obtain an erection; a pale, white, blue-veined erection curiously reminiscent of varicose veins crisscrossing a manly genital), but yet Vesuvius knew he could not sink his teeth into the nubile neck of Luke.

“No,” he cried, “I cannot to do it to you, Luke. I desire you. I want you as a man; to have you is to turn you into a creature of the night.”

“Go ahead then,” Luke egged him on, he said, “Vesuvius; is that really your name?”

“Yes.” “I’ve been in this stupid Midtown Atlanta for about four months and I’ve had it.” Luke complained, “Most of the guys here are vacuous and vapid, they are very queer and very odd. They’re either too old or too young and if they’re not dragging me off to Mississippi to clean up the tar balls, then they’re kidnapping me or sending vampires up here from Louisiana to suck my blood. I mean honestly, what does a guy like me have to do in order to get a decent date in this town?”

“I don’t understand.” Vesuvius ruffled his brow in question, “I’m a vampire and you want me to suck your blood?”

“Sure, go ahead.” Luke said, “I’m annoyed with the guys in this town anyway. If I ever see that damn palm reader again, I tell you; it won’t be pretty!”

“Oh, Luke,” Vesuvius wished to embrace our hapless hero, “I so want to suck you off…” …and that’s when Luke turned to ‘the camera’ and said, “Happy Halloween, y’all!”

Bitch Session To the skank who didn’t have to use the bathroom until I walked over to use it: I hope you get herpes from a toilet seat.

To the tall Adam Lambert wannabe euro trash I see everywhere in town: You homewrecking bitch. Good luck paying your bills without my boyfriend. Karma sucks!

I may be a stripper-turnedserver, but my perfect SAT score says I am smarter than you. It’s just your generation screwed me out of a job with this economy.

Whoever reads these must love their weekend mornings/want to send this city back to middle school English classes to learn some damn grammar.

What is it with gay guys drinking rum and vodka? Aren’t there any men around who like hard-dark liquor like Hennessy or Jack Daniels?

What’s up with all the cliques in this tow? It’s like nobody is open to making new friends.

If they can’t have sex with you, you serve no purpose to them.

Just because we traded penis pics online doesn’t mean we’re friends.

Really?!? You’re dressing up as Care Bears?

You’ll be nothing more than a colorful Pedobear for Halloween.

I’m not ‘acting’ masculine. I am masculine.

It’s as natural to me as your femininity. And masculine is not synonymous with being “on the DL.” I’m an out masculine man who lines other out masculine men.

It’s not fair that prisons don’t allow same-sex conjugal visits. We guys could really serve a need.

If the fat ugly trolls in the steamroom would spend as much energy working out as they do pestering cute guys, maybe just maybe they would get some attention.

I guess I’m old school. Back in the day, the best things about being gay were that you didn’t have to join the military during the Vietnam War and you didn’t have to worry about getting married and having kids. Now it seems all gays want to do is get married, have kids and join the military. What the heck happened?

Just because you’re in a suit, you think you’re better than everybody else. You’re still cruising a tearoom, so you’re a skank like the rest of us.

So what that some bartenders know my name and drink? Forgive me for not knowing that somewhat social and polite makes me an alcoholic.

You ignore my calls and then talk like you’re still interested when I corner you for just a little R-ES-P-E-C-T. There’s a difference between saying all the right things and doing all the right things.

Every time I encounter you, it seems you are sloppy drunk and either you try to kiss me or you “accidently” spill part of your drink on meplease stop!!

To the queen who complained about how people act high and mighty when they’re in a relationship: Bitch, don’t be mad cuz you ain’t got no man!

Something smells fishy…oh it’s the Aquarium and the heat from all these Bitchy Queens.

When I am driving you home from the club, do not make me stop at every friggin’ McDonald’s just because you’re drunk and hungry!

If anyone wants to get me an early Christmas present, Fendi has this wonderful pair of sunglasses that I need!! Thanks!
