What’s HOT South Florida Everything you need to plan your week
week ago Tuesday, The GFLGLCC held their monthly mixer. This month is was at Westin Fort Lauderdale, and once again was a great place to network after work. Starting on Thursday, and going all weekend long, Smarty Pants Celebrated their 13th Anniversary with too many activities to mention. Congrats to Fritz and Mark- we're wishing them many more years of success. On Thursday evening, the LGBT Visitors Center presented the 4th annual Pink Flamingo Awards at Jungle Island. This was the first time I was able to attend and was incredibly impressed with producer Lori Lynch and her team. It was a great show where the community celebrated the Community. This will be on my calendar as a must attend every year! Also, on Thursday evening, The Boardwalk presented their annual Employee Turnabout from 9pm to midnight. It is funny seeing the sexy bartenders at Boardwalk dressed up as women. On Saturday Evening, GLBX's presented, the 3rd annual Artopia at the NSU Art Museum, which was a fundraiser for the Stonewall National Museum & Archives, Island City Stage and the Gay Men's Chorus of South Florida. Both floors of the museum were packed and the event was a huge success! Later that night, we stopped in at Rumors for their annual Turnabout Party, entitled Scream Queens which was a benefit for the Smart Ride. Afterwards, it was off to Hunter's for their monthly Teddy Bear Party starring DJ Erez Ben Ishay. On Sunday, we stopped by to see the Gay Kickball Club at Flamingo Park, which consists of six local teams that play every Sunday morning. Directly following the games, we swung by Hotel Gaythering for the after-party. Sunday evening, we started at Scandals Saloon for their monthly Lady fancy's Gospel Jubilee. Afterwards it was off to My TropiXXX for their Fall Holiday/Halloween Fashion Show. The show featured sexy models, champagne and appetizers. We ended the night at Rumors for the premiere of Nicole Halliwell's Drink N Drag Sundays in their new home. Catch Nicole and her whole cast every Sunday at Rumors at10:30pm.

Spooky Sweets and Terrifying Treats New Season of Halloween Baking Championship Hosted by Jeff Dunham, Premieres Monday, October 3rd at 9pm Kids Halloween Baking Championship Hosted by Duff Goldman and Alison Sweeney, Premieres Wednesday, October 5th at 8pm
Jeff Dunham Zombies, mummies and monsters galore get in on the action on the return of the spookiest baking competition on Food Network, where seven terrifyingly-talented bakers compete to create the most hauntingly delicious desserts on Halloween Baking Championship, premiering Monday, October 3rd at 9:00pm ET/PT. Throughout the five-week competition, comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham and his sidekick, Walter, challenge the bakers' abilities to create creepy crawly confections for judges Damiano Carrara, Carla Hall and Sandra Lee. The show will feature bakery owner, Amy Strickland, a contestant from Lake City, FL. (outside of Jacksonville)! Only one baker with the most impressive treats will win the title of Halloween
Baking Champion and take home the grand prize of $25,000. Each week on Halloween Baking Championship, the bakers face tough challenges from making bite-sized monster morsels, to wickedly-decadent desserts stuffed with trick-or-treat candies, as well as creepy clown cake-pops and goodies of ghostly graveyards. The last three bakers who impress the judges with their spellbinding sweets will face the ultimate challenge in the grand finale – baking, designing and decorating a haunted “gingerdead” house. Fans can go behind the scenes of this spooky competition and see the creepy creations up c l o s e a t F o o d N e t w o r k
.com/BakingChampionship, and they can join the confectionary conversation on Twitter using #BakingChampionship. For even more scary sweets, on Wednesday, October 5th at 8pm ET/PT, Duff Goldman and Alison Sweeney host the first-ever Kids Halloween Baking Championship. On this hourlong special, four fan favorites from Kids Baking Championship are back to bake their way through two chilling challenges for the chance to win $10,000, and the title of Kids Halloween Baking Champion! Each episode has the contestants face off in two “heats”- the pre-heat and the main heat. On the first episode, for the pre-heat, they must make something sweet and scary, then in the main heat, they will each have to be mad scientists and bake up a hybrid monster dessert. Only one will become the Kids Halloween Baking Champion and win the $10,000 prize! For kid-friendly Halloween recipes, spooky lunchbox snacks, and cute and c r e e p y p a r t y i d e a s v i s i t FoodNetwork.com/Halloween.
“The spirit of Halloween is deliciously captured on Halloween Baking Championship and Kids Halloween Baking Championship with creative new challenges that showcase the talents and imaginations of the bakers,
both young and old,” said Didi O'Hearn, Senior Vice President Programming, Food Network & Cooking Channel. “New and familiar faces, including Damiano Carrara, Jeff Dunham, Duff Goldman, Carla Hall, Sandra Lee and Alison Sweeney add to the frightful fun of both competitions with wickedly witty comments, crazy costumes, and so much more!” Don't miss all the dreadfully delicious action this October!

Have you ever seen The September Issue or any fashion magazine in the fall? Anna Wintour's head must be spinning right about now.

Use every opportunity to showcase your personal style and continue pushing boundaries. That's all!

The Unbranded Brand: 'UB101' Skinny Fit Raw Selvedge Jeans (Indigo) Nordstrom / $82 (nordstrom.com) Blue Jeans are an American tradition and practically go with everything. This season, Dark Selvedge Denim Jeans are in. The word selvedge comes from “self-edge.” The edge of the denim has a clean finish; it will not unravel and is actually used as the outseam of the garment. The 'UB101' Skinny Fit Raw Selvedge Jeans will show off that h i n e y y o u' v e b e e n working on all summer.
Nike Air Berwuda Sneakers Nike / $110 (nike.com) No matter the time of year, sneakers are always in style. With temperatures cooling down during the fall, a shiny, new pair of running shoes might be just the kick in the butt you need to hit the trails. The Nike Air Berwuda features a breathable mesh toe box and a structured leather heel that frames the iconic Nike Swoosh in this lowcut running shoe.
Ray-Ban Black/Gray Men's Sunglasses (Justin Gradient Collection) Sun-Glass Hut / $160 (sunglasshut.com/) Sunglasses serve a variety of purposes. First impressions are everything, so you always want to try to make a statement. It's also important to choose a pair of sunglasses that block UV rays when you're out and about. A pair of rectangle Black or Gray Ray-Bans from the Justin Gradient Collection is a fantastic accessory to incorporate into your outfit.
Fossil Q Nate Stainless Steel Hybrid Smartwatch Fossil / $195 (fossil.com) You don't want to be the person who constantly looks at his phone to check the time. Like sunglasses, watches make a great statement and style up most outfits. Using new smart technology, this rugged wrist essential is always on, always connected with a battery life up to six months (based on usage). Strapped in sleek stainless steel, the Q Nate features Arabic and stick indices with a black dial and silver-tone brushed case.
Slim Italian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater J.Crew / $225 (jcrew.com)
Dessert Sun Suede Oxford Lace-Up Boot Kenneth Cole / $98 (kennthcole.com)
With the summer heat dying down and the cooler breezes of fall upon us, you will want to add a light sweater to your closet. A light gray cashmere sweater is the way to go this fall. This neutral-colored garment in particular is very versatile, so you can dress up or dress down depending on the occasion.
Let's get some shoes! Of course, flip flops and sneakers are practical choices for the summer, but fall demands more of an effort when it comes to style. According to several fashion experts, suede and velvet are going to be popular materials for 2016. You can match a brown boot to your favorite new pair of dark jeans or gray cashmere sweater.

New Line-Up For Season After a few months of getting familiar with the local Wilton Manors community, Wolf Bar is bracing itself to attack the high season starting in October. According to Owner Tony “Our weekly successful events have been the Saturday Ladies Night at 10pm, the R& B Thursday Night starting 9pm with the renowned Miami DJ Gavin T, and the Latin Friday night with DJ Nena and its Latino drags. All these nights are bringing to Wilton Manors a new mixed young cheerful crowd happy to dance and drink, enjoying a friendly atmosphere with sexy bartenders and very affordable drink prices.” Tony went on to say “Wolf Bar is preparing itself for the new season starting in October to play its BIG ROLE. Rather than directly competing with old timers and other bars in existence for decades, it would be much better to infuse new blood and more oxygen into Wilton Manors by expanding the customer base spreading it from Miami to Paris.” The bar also features; go-go dancers, drag shows, video shows, sports, pool tables, and dart boards in a fresh clean venue. They feel this is all you need to enjoy your time in the heart of this gay mecca. They also feature Monday Night Football, on Tuesday it's pool league and college night. Starting next month on Wednesdays the will feature Open Talent night. Tony, his life and business partner Fahed, and their new team, under the experienced management of Jonathan, and skilled event manager Chris, are also dropping hints on
some new and exciting events coming to Wolf Bar in the next few months: The MiFo Gay Film Festival is coming to Wolf Bar taking advantage of the huge high definition screen and stage, the state-of-the art sound and light system as well as the big capacity of Wolf Bar. Halloween is knocking at our doors and Wolf Bar promises to give you one of the scariest HAUNTED HOUSE you have been to. Last but not least, after months of tough negotiations, Tony is ready to announce great news about the parking facilities provided at Wolf Bar. All to the benefit of patrons and customers…stay tuned. Fahed said “Wolf BAR is happy to announce that the negotiations for the sale of the Plaza where it is located, have entered their final stage. This had a big impact on our activity for a couple of months but that took place in the summer season. Now the new landlord is working hand-in-hand with us to develop the business. He is also facilitating the difficult issue of the parking for over 100 cars to make our patrons and staff more peaceful and happier. Some people saw a for sale sign on the roof of the building and asked us if Wolf bar was for sale. The answer was no, the Da Vinci Plaza was for sale ....not Wolf Bar ...The sales sign is now gone and we invite the community to get ready for season ....Join The Pack!” Wolf Bar (2209 Wilton Drive) is open 7 days a week with no cover. Sunday -Thursday they are open from 4pm till 2 am, Saturday and Sunday from 4pm till 3am. For more information go to Wolfbars.club

struggling to follow their dreams without selling out. With its inspiring message of joy and hope in the face of fear, this timeless celebration of friendship and creativity reminds us to measure our lives with the only thing that truly matters—love. The show received its world premiere offBroadway at New York Theatre Workshop on February 13, 1996 to ecstatic reviews and transferred to Broadway on April 29, 1996. RENT is winner of the 1996 Tony Award for Best Musical as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It is one of only five musicals to win both awards. Based on the original direction by Michael Greif (Tony and Drama Desk Nominations, RENT), Evan Ensign will restage this 20th anniversary tour. Marlies Yearby (Tony Nomination, RENT) will serve as choreographer. The RENT 20th Anniversary Tour is produced by Work Light Productions, whose other touring productions include Cinderella, MAMMA MIA!, Motown, Irving Berlin's White Christmas and Vocalosity. It was a pleasure to sit down for this exclusive Hotspots interview with David Merino (Angel),
anniversary of Rent?
I cannot even begin to explain how excited I am, it is a dream role in a dream show. Being able to bring this story around the world is the biggest pleasure. I love theater because it is such a visceral way of evoking something from people. When I was cast I was overwhelmed.
You just started, but how has touring been so far?
I really had no expectations of touring and traveling or how being in a hotel every day of my life would be. So far it's been an incredible experience, even on the busses, the planes, etc being with this amazing cast.
What should the South Florida audiences expect out of this touring company of Rent?

who is thrilled to be making his professional debut in this production.
At what age did you begin singing?
I started doing theater around the 5th grade, but I had always loved singing and dancing as a kid in my house.
Which role has been your favorite to play and why?
This is my 3rd time playing Angel at dierent points in my life and it's my dream role. Another role I loved was the scarecrow in Wizard of Oz.
They should expect the same show you came to love, with a whole new generation of performers that are breathing new life into the characters. It's very powerful to watch this show in this day and age and see how relevant it is even 20 years after its original setting.

It was a dream come true. I did early admission, and I was accepted 1 month later. It was an amazing program. They are very tough on their students, but I am so happy that I went there. I learned so much there, I love NYU for that.
How excited are you to be making your professional debut in the 20th

STAR
MATT SARAFA Talks New Fashion Line Hot Me$$
By Troy Maillis Inspired by the "Unconventional Challenge" on Project Runway: Junior, standout star Matt Sarafa took his knowledge of fashion along with his avant-garde style to create his first clothing line Hot ME$$, a unisex clothing line for men and women of all ages. This trendy line includes a variety of shirts, an amazing bomber jacket and a few accessories, including a snapback hat and backpack. Matt's line features an edgy, urban and fun style that is not afraid to push boundaries or take risks. We recently caught up with Matt to dish on his new clothing line Hot Me$$, fall fashion trends and his Project Runway Junior experience (Photos by Brooke Mason).
designer. This Hot Me$$ line is a risk in of itself since I've never really done anything like it before, but as they say: “The bigger the risk, the better the reward.”
When you're creating a line, do you create with yourself in mind—clothes that you could wear?
It really depends on the collection, but for the Hot Me$$ line in particular, I was definitely a little selfish by creating pieces that I would (and plan on) rocking in my everyday life.
You're releasing your new clothing line Hot Me$$ this week. Which three words best describe your new line?
Yes! I'm releasing the line on September 14, and I'm so excited about it! I've literally put blood, sweat, and LOTS of tears into this collection; but I'm so proud of how it turned out and I can't wait to see people wearing it! If I had to describe the line in three words, I'd say edgy, urban and badass.
How important is it to take risks in fashion?
In the fashion world, taking risks is everything. I feel like it's the best way to learn and grow as a
You were one of the standout stars on Project Runway: Junior. What is your most memorable moment from the show?
Being on Project Runway Junior was an opportunity of a lifetime! One of the coolest
moments for me was getting that message from Michelle Obama during the girl-on-the-go challenge. But honestly, the entire experience was a memorable moment for me.
What were Kelly Osbourne and Christian Siriano like as judges? What do you think they'd think about Hot Me$$?
Kelly Osbourne and Christian Siriano were so cool to work with. Kelly is a huge fashion icon and I've looked up to Christian ever since he won his season of Project Runway. I can only hope that they'll approve of the Hot Me$$ line! Kelly has been seen wearing a custom-made Hot Me$$ leather jacket I made her, so I think that's a good sign.
Who is the ultimate fashion icon? Which celebrity are you just dying to dress?
Ooh—that's a hard question. There are so many celebrities I'd love to dress from Rihanna to Lady Gaga to even Naomi Smalls. I get a lot of my inspiration from pop culture, so I could literally give you a Bible-length list of names.
Let's talk about some trends. With fall fashion coming up, what are some of the must-have fashion items for men? What should guys be wearing this fall?
I definitely see cool trench coats being on trend for both men and women this fall. This year, I feel like it's all about using unique materials such as suede, velvet, fur, etc. to add excitement to otherwise simple silhouettes.
You made headlines earlier this year after withdrawing your application from Brown. Did Brown ever reach out to you to make amends?
I had no idea my story would go viral like it did. Unfortunately, Brown never reached out to me in any way after making the video. I'm just glad that I was able to share my story and hopefully prevent anyone else from having to endure something like that during a college interview.
You are also now a freshman at UCLA. What is your major and how are you handling balancing all of your projects?
Yes! I'll be attending UCLA in the fall as a freshman! I am in the Design & Media Arts program, and I couldn't be more excited. It's definitely going to be tough to balance my outside career with being a college student, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.
We read that you first watched an entire season Project Runway when you were only 7. What's your advice to young 7 and 8 year old boys who have an interest in fashion?
Watching Project Runway with my mom at age 7 is what actually sparked my interest in fashion design. My favorite thing is when people tell me through social media that I've inspired them to pursue fashion. It's definitely a tough business to be in, but if you really love it like I do, it's all 110% worth it. My advice to young kids interested in a fashion career is to just stay true to yourself and your design aesthetic, and don't let anybody stop you. In addition to his fashion and education endeavors, Matt loves giving back working with charities such as Life World, Children's Hospital LA and the Pink Lotus Foundation. The Hot Me$$ line is now available for sale exclusively at mattsarafa.com.

By Billy Masters
//Jeffrey Tambor//
“I
would not be unhappy were I the last cisgender male to play a female transgender on television." --Jeffrey Tambor's acceptance speech after winning the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. Anyone who still thinks our community isn't visible on TV clearly didn't watch this year's Emmy Awards, which kicked off with Louie Anderson's win for playing the mother on "Baskets". "I have not always been a very good man, but I play one helluva woman." That was followed up by Jeffrey Tambor's second Emmy for "Transparent". And I'm always happy when Holland Taylor is acknowledged. This time, the mention came from partner Sarah Paulson, whose plus one was the real Marcia Clark. I believe she was wearing a Columbian necklace. Would you date a hooker? Or a porn star? It's a silly question for me to answer - I refuse to sleep with anyone who I can't check out on video first! But for the average guy, it's a reasonable concern, and one he probably wouldn't even think to ask when going on a TV dating show. After all, there's an assumption that the network has checked everyone out, right? So I'm not surprised that the guys from "Finding Prince
//Robert Supulveda Jr.// Charming" are speaking out now that they've learned about the escorting past of their "Prince", Robert Sepulveda - someone who not only escorted but engaged in quite a bit of questionable (and unhygienic) behavior on videos which can be seen on BillyMasters.com. The most prevalent allegation is that Logo knew exactly who Robert was when they cast him, and perhaps leaked information about his past themselves in order to gain publicity for the show. One of the contestants came right out and said, "I don't believe the network was blindsided. I don't think anyone believes that." Another reveals that all of the guys "had to go through rigorous background checks for three weeks, and another three days before the show even started taping." Yet another was sure he recognized Robert from a gay porno film. "As soon as I left the house and got my phone back, I Googled 'Robert Sepulveda' and the words 'sex tape' and there it was. I didn't even need to scroll down." This brings up a crucial point - allegedly each cast member had to sign a contract stating they didn't appear in sex tapes or have nude photos that show their faces. The guys feel that the same rules should have applied to Sepulveda although I hasten to add that in most of the videos, his face is the least-featured part of his anatomy. Now that the guys have seen the
videos, they're appalled. "There are videos of Robert out there that are quite disgusting. Now, I'm associated with him. Try explaining that to your mother." Another was more to the point: "If I wanted to date a hooker, I'd hire one. I'm beyond livid!" While I'm all for these guys speaking out - they should and it's their right - don't hide behind the moniker of "unnamed contestant". Say who you are and own it. I suspect they're contractually unable to speak on the record until the reunion show, which has not yet taped. Many of you have written in asking for details about the death of Alexis Arquette. According to "The Hollywood Reporter", Alexis was living in a West Hollywood apartment building run by The Actors Fund which provides low-income housing for actors who are HIV-positive and have an annual income between $17,400 - $29,000 per year. Reportedly, Arquette had been HIV-positive for two decades, but towards the end refused to take certain medications which would have potentially been life-saving. We're told that an untreated liver infection spread throughout Arquette's body. As to the bigger question of gender, Alexis was always unwilling to talk about what surgeries had or had not taken place. David Arquette said, "It was like, 'Yeah, sometimes I'll be a man, sometimes I'll be a woman. I like to refer to myself as gender suspicious'." David says he was confused - are you my sister or my brother? In pure Alexis
form, the response came quick: "It depends on how I'm dressed!� Apropos of Rami Malek's Emmy win for "Mr. Robot", our "Ask Billy" question comes from Jason in Baltimore: "I was reading some of your old columns on BillyMasters.com and saw the photo of Zayn Malik's penis. It got me thinking, do you have any nude photos of Rami Malek from 'Mr. Robot'? He's way hotter! Tell me he's gay.� Alas, the new Emmy winner is not gay, but he has played gay before. Back in 2005, he was on the show "The War at Home" where he was the neighbor, who had a crush on the son, played by Jackson Rathbone. As for seeing him nude, while he previously showed his ass in "Need for Speed", he recently showed even more on "Mr. Robot". In one scene, he is strip searched by an officer who says, "Bend over, spread your ass." How could you even think I wouldn't post that video on BillyMasters.com? When Rami is showing us where to plug in a hard drive, it's definitely time to end yet another column. Since I'm just home from the Emmys (and exhausted), I barely have the strength to remind you to check out www.BillyMasters.com, the site that never sleeps. If you have a question for me, I'm always here for you. Just send it along to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before John Travolta gets cast as Louie Anderson's sister on "Baskets"! So, until next time, remember, one man's filth is another man's bible.

For over a decade now, Come Out with Pride Orlando has grown exponentially, becoming one of the largest LGBT pride celebrations not just in the state of Florida, but in the entire Southeast, with over 150,000 people attending the parade and festival portions of the festivities last year. This year's Come Out with Pride events will occur between Thursday, October 6 and Saturday, October 8. On Thursday, the oďŹƒcial Come Out with Pride Orlando launch party will take place at The Abbey (100 S. Eola Dr.), beginning at 7 p.m. The intimate event, which will have space for about 300-350 people, will be sure to get the community abuzz and ready to celebrate on Saturday. For more information on how you can attend the Pride launch party, visit comeoutwithpride.com/events. On Friday, the Pride on Church Street block party, organized by Hamburger Mary's Orlando, will return to Church Street Station right in front of Mary's. Many entertainers based right here in Florida will perform, including such talent as the Rock Hard Revue, Hamburger Mary's Orlando Broadway brunch crowd, Mary's female impersonators Leigh Shannon and Cr ystle Chambers, Miss America 2004 Ericka Dunlap, and DJ JB Burgos. Special guest performers include Amy Armstrong and Freddy Allen, direct from Chicago, and, from Nashville, multi-platinum country music recording artist Ty Herndon.
The free party begins at 8 p.m. The events on Saturday begin with a "Big Gay Brunch" sponsored by Orlando Weekly, which will take place at The Abbey starting at 11 a.m. Ticketholders will enjoy a wonderful brunch, mimosas and a Bloody Mary bar, music by DJ Reagan, live entertainment, and performances from several surprise guests! Visit comeoutwithpride.com/events for more information. The Come Out with Pride festival will begin at noon, with the Marriott Pride Marketplace, featuring 100+ vendors, food, drinks and entertainment, situated on the southeast side of Lake Eola (Eola Dr. and E. Central Blvd.). Going down Central toward Rosalind Ave. and the amphitheater, you will see "Taste of Pride", sponsored by Verizon, which is a new addition to the Come Out with Pride festivities. For $150 per person, you can enjoy great foods cooked up by over a dozen celebrity chefs, such as Art Smith, Cat Cora, Elizabeth Falkner, Kevin Fonzo, Liana Robberecht and others. These meals will be paired with drinks from expert mixologists, and the ticket cost also includes great seating for the ďŹ reworks display which will end the day. For tickets, visit comeoutwithpride.com/ events/taste-of-pride. Walking up the Rosalind Ave. side of Lake Eola, you will see the VIP experience area, sponsored by SunTrust. At the VIP area, there will be an air-conditioned tent, an open bar from noon to 9 p.m., and light bites from 1 to 7
p.m. Tickets are $85 in advance ($95 the day of the event), and guaranteed parade grandstand seating will cost $20 more. To buy tickets, visit comeoutwithpirde.com/vip-experienceregister.

On the Eola Dr. side, after the sponsor walk and before the Pride Marketplace, there is a second stage, the Pride stage, also sponsored by Wawa, where some entertainers can also be seen. One of the most exciting parts of Come Out with Pride Orlando is "The Most Colorful Parade". The parade will begin at 4 p.m. and will have a longer route this year. Starting at the corner of Rosalind Ave. and Robinson Ave., the parade will go past Eola Dr. to Summerlin Ave., going down Summerlin to E. Central Blvd. From there, the parade will go into downtown, taking a right at Orange Ave. and proceeding up Orange before turning right on Robinson.

The cherry on top of this event is the 9 p.m. fireworks display by Santore, sponsored by Ticketmaster/LiveNation. The fireworks are free to view in countless locations throughout Lake Eola Park. Afterwards, you can enjoy the official afterparty at The Abbey, dedicated to Pulse, which is a Latin night experience featuring music by DJ Simon and DJ Infinite and performances by Kenya Michaels, Angelica Sanchez, Chavela Belleza and Jasmine International.

GENRE HIT LIST Con Scrappy Pérez
Carro Nuevo, Chicos en el Baúl y un Poco de Suavizador A la verdad que esta vez me costó mucho trabajo pensar en cosas para hablar con ustedes. Mi vida es tan interesante como ver el parto de un elefante. Las cosas más recientes que me pasaron fueron mi viaje a Sanford en Florida y la conversación que tuve con mi nuevo amigo aunque no tengamos mucho en común. A él le gusta mucho el festejeo, estar con un chico diferente cada semana y su dieta perpetua de agua, aire y un poquito de culpa al lado. Ya saben el tipo: son los que dicen cosas como “¿recuerdas comer pan”? mientras te hablan de sus momentos difíciles como el estar en las tiendas por horas buscando ropa que le quede bien porque se ve tan bien en todas. Pobrecito... En realidad no tengo el mismo sentido de aventura tampoco. Para mí el lavar la ropa sin suavizador me hace sentir que soy un chico rebelde y con eso me da.. Mi otro amigo fue el que me llevó a Sanford. ¿Alguna vez han estado ahí? Me sentí como si hubiese salido de la máquina del tiempo y me fui al pasado. Todas las casas tenían una fachada que me hacía decir “¡Ay, virgen! Siento como que aquí se murió alguien”. Cada balcón tenía su mecedora que ya ni se ven en mueblerías hoy día. Lo único que le faltaba eran los dos viejitos leyendo el periódico abanicándose y tomando té mientras hablaban de ese nuevo invento volador de metal que lleva a las personas de un lugar a otro. La gente que me pasaba por el lado me sonreía y me deseaba un buen día y ni siquiera me pedían dinero. Claramente fui a la dimensión desconocida. Comencé a añorar mi barrio y el tráfico y la gente indeseable así que mi amigo me hizo el favor de pegarme en la cara y decirme “te pegué por pendejo” para sentirme más en casa.
Otra cosa que me pasó hace poco es que puedo conducir otra vez. No había podido por un accidente que tuve. OK, la verdad es que me lo tenían prohibido porque me agarraron con tres kilos de cocaína, un mono en peligro de extinción en el asiento de atrás y un prostituto ilegal en el baúl. Pero bueno, ahora sí puedo guiar y sentirme como todo el mundo con el derecho de beber agua de las mismas fuentes y votar en las elecciones. Bueno, creo que eso es todo. Así que recuerden, a menos que el gato de tu mamá no sea tu mejor amigo y escuches música del año de las guácaras, no vayas a Sanford. Siempre lava la ropa con suavizador o úsalo de lubricante y asegúrate de que la próxima vez que montes a prostitutos en el baúl del carro, que tengan su residencia con ellos.
New Car, Guys in My Trunk and a Little Fabric Softener Today I had a really hard time coming up with things to talk to you guys about. My life is as interesting as watching turtle p*rn. Latest things that happened to me would be my trip to Sanford in Central Florida or talking to my new friend. I was having a conversation with him, but at times, it's almost impossible to relate to him. He parties a lot, hooks up with different guys every week and is in a perpetual diet which consists of nothing but air, water and a side of guilt. You know the type: they say things like “remember bread”? and talk to you endlessly about 'hot people problems'. “It's just so hard for me to pick up new clothes because I look good in everything. Ugh! What should I do”?! – I just roll my eyes and say “I know! Don't you hate that? Let's order a pizza”. My life is not as adventurous as theirs. Sometimes, when I do the laundry, I don't add fabric softener…on purpose! That's the kind of stuff that makes me feel I am a rebel living life dangerously. Another friend of mine took me to Sanford thinking this place would be more my speed. Have you been there? It seriously felt like I walked out of a time machine a few years back in the past. Every single house gave me that eerie feeling that made me think someone died in there, but the spirit is still guarding the place! Every porch had a rocking chair. That is something you don't even see at furniture stores anymore. All it was missing were the 80-year olds reading the paper outside as they fanned themselves sipping on iced tea and talking about that new metallic flying device that is all the rage. People walked by me, smiled and wished me a good afternoon, but did not
ask me for money! Clearly, I entered the Twilight Zone. I was starting to feel homesick and missed the sound of traffic and rude people, so my buddy slapped me across the face and called me an a$$hole. I sighed in relief and thanked him. I'm from the big cities. Nobody takes long walks down the beach calmly greeting passersby. Most of the walking takes place at the mall and we are watchful of everyone because they all want to steal your money. “Have a nice day” – They would say. “B!tch, I don't know you. Get away from me!” would be my response until realizing this is the store's cashier after I made a purchase. Another thing that happened to me recently is getting a new car. I was not able to drive for a whole year due to an accident I had. OK, fine! My license was revoked due to drug possession…and an extinct breed of monkey I had on the backseat…and an illegal alien prostitute I hid in my trunk while he was crossing the border. I can finally drive again and it feels great to be able to say I am just like everyone else! I can even vote and drink from the same water fountains as the rest of you too! Well, I believe that's it. So, avoid Sanford unless your mom's cat is your best friend and you rock to the oldies, always add fabric softener to your laundry or use for lubrication and make sure, the next time you hide a prostitute inside the trunk of your car to take home, that he is in fact a citizen of this country or at least a legal resident!

WOODY HELLO & GOODBYE H
Need Wood
ey Woody, I met this guy on one of the Apps. His pictures were so hot I had to towel off my smart phone. An hour later, he opens his door and in a historic first, he was actually as hot as his picture. He's got an adult flick playing in the living room and within minutes we're sucking face (and other extremities). During the texting he said he wanted me to ride him like a lawn mower. After all that kissing and sucking I was ready to cut some grass. He lies down on his living room floor, getting ready for his close-up, when suddenly I notice he's starting to lose his hard-on. Then, he says he has a conference call he needs to prepare for and says I've gotta leave. Huh? Next thing I knew I was out the door with blue balls Louis Vuitton could have used as a luggage set. I'm really hurt. What happened? Everything was going great and then bam! I mean why would a guy say I'm hot, go down on me, then want me to do him hard, then give me the bum's rush before we even got started? — Hurt…and not a little horny Dear Hurt: I have to admit, this one's for the books. Usually they throw you out AFTER you ride them, not before. Man, what a kick in the a$$. Fourth and one at the end zone and you got pushed back. I know it hurts, but suck it up, man. You weren't on a date, you
were on a f@#k. Well, almost. He's allowed to change his mind, even if it's at the most inconvenient moment. You cannot know what was going on in his mind. Maybe he had a boyfriend who was coming home soon, maybe he's recently out and panicked at the last minute. Or maybe you just didn't turn him on that much. Sexual desire in the gay spectrum includes "hot enough to blow, but not enough to F@#k". I've said this before and I'll say it again: You never know if a man is really attracted to you, even when he's got you in his mouth. Whatever the case is, I promise you he didn't pull his pants back up because of a "conference call." If he had, he would have asked for your phone number, kissed you at the door and promised to call. He didn't. Hey Woody! I'm a slurper from way back. I gave Folger's the slogan "Good to the last drop." But just how good for you is it? What exactly is in a man's nectar? --- Just Wondering Dear Just Wondering: Of the things you'd recognize, semen contains ascorbic acid, calcium, chlorine, cholesterol, citric acid, creatine, fructose, lactic acid, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, sorbitol, vitamin B12, and zinc. Of the things you can't pronounce, semen contains aboutonia, deoxyribonucleic acid, glutathione, hyaluronidase, inositol, bloodgroup antigens, choline, purine, pyrimidine, pyruvic acid, spermidine, spermine, urea, and uric acid. And of course, your saliva.
