Manors Masquerade sucked so bad!  Okay, so I decided that I would arrive to Hagan Park at the point of the night when things should have been poppin.  I rolled up into Wilton Manors around 9:40 and Hagan Park was dead compared to the rest of Wilton Drive.

It was like being at a lame birthday party.  Jay McCarroll was there as a “celebrity judge” for the stupid costume contests.  I use celebrity loosely.  I’m really not quite sure what was in all the tents because they looked bare.

Interestingly enough, one Wilton Manors resident claimed that he was none too pleased with the Hagan Park Halloween festivities:

A big thank you to whomever thought is was a great idea to have Halloween celebrations in Hagen Park on a Sunday night… I guess they did not have to get up at 5:00 Monday morning, live across the street from the obnoxious noise or have any consideration for those in the neighborhood that live here. Brilliant planning!!

It appears that the city of Wilton Manors might have been more concerned about not pissing off all of the business owners that they forgot about the homeowners. Additionally, Wilton Drive in my opinion really should have been shut down because it was REALLY UNSAFE with all of the people crossing the street.  People were seriously coming out of nowhere.  It’s important for the city to understand that just because they don’t shut down The Drive doesn’t mean people aren’t going to be using it like they would if it were shut down from end to end.

The real party seemed to be in the parking lot of Georgie’s Alibi (big surprise).  The Manor was also pretty nuts.  That was actually my first time in The Manor and it was awesome!

What did you all think?

Okay, so he’s not your typical hunk but there is something about him that makes me swoon a little.  It might the bone structure in his face or his amazing blue eyes, or it might be the whole package.  Dylan recently made a comeback on the hit show American Horror Story (which I have yet to see).  Check out the gallery!

Gay porn, gay gyms, and underwear ads have inspired straight men to be more body conscious, according to the new issue of Details magazine.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that the straight-male-body ideal runs five years behind the gay one,” writes the popular men’s magazine in a cover story titled “America’s New Male Body Obsession,” and featuring new photos of renowned model David Gandy.

The magazine looks at the 41 moments that changed the way men look in the mirror. The following text next to a photo of a Speedo-clad Ricky Martin puts it all in perspective: “‘It starts in gay porn, moves to gay gyms, underwear ads, and then the mainstream,” says David Barton, owner of the eponymous gyms in New York, Miami, and, soon, Los Angeles.

In the eighties, when gay men jacked their bodies to ward off suspicions that they were AIDS victims, the typical straight guy was soft and shlubby. By Y2K, after a decade defined by South Beach gym culture and Calvin Klein underwear hunks, he had transformed into a gym-going body-dysmorphic dude with tribal tattoos encircling over-pumped biceps.

Sensing that their cartoon-superhero look had gone mainstream—and turned on by Fight Club‘s Brad Pitt, whose taut muscles looked more serrated than inflated—gay men pared back, on a new wave of swimming, yoga, and Pilates. “I got a lot of requests for Keith Richards–type bodies that looked like they happened from playing guitar in a bar all night,” Barton says.

The triumph of lean, mean muscle was cemented in 2005, when pictures appeared online of Ricky Martin and a friend playing beach games and executing yoga moves in tiny swim trunks in St. Barts. Their muscles were sensual, their bodies slim. Six years later, trend-attuned straight men in New York and L.A. walk around weekend mornings toting yoga mats, not weight-lifting belts.

Well, well, well…Captain America it is.  I was never a huge Chris Evans fan, until I saw him with his shirt off.  When I realized I could wash a shirt on his abs I was hooked.

Let’s be real though, Chris is a lot more than great abs.  He’s got great eyes, great hair and a killer smile.  He can act too, but I’m trying to list things that matter here!

I was just reminded of this video when I heard the sound of an ice cream truck.  Aaahhh, yes gentlemen. Meet me at the ice cream truck, I’ll buy you an ice cream.

Ok, if you don’t know where this post is heading by now than you REALLY need to watch this Cazwell video called, Ice Cream Truck. The best part of this video definitely IS NOT the song.

HBO is presenting the 3rd annual Fort Lauderdale Gay and Lesbian Film Festival on October 13 through the 16!

Each year the festival seeks to bring the very best of LGBT films in the world to the Fort Lauderdale festival.  The booklet for the festival says:

Red Hot Highlights Opening Night on Thursday at Cinema Paradiso we travel back  to 1987 to meet a “Dirty Girl” and her new gay BFF Clarke.  We continue our travels on Friday to Germany with two sizzling hot films, “Shahada” and “We Are The Night.”  Brazil turns in what may be the sleeper hit, “So Hard To Forget” and filmmaker Casper Andreas returns to turn up the heat with “Going Down in La-La Land.”  To add to the excitement we will have exceptional documentaries that highlight women in music with “Hit So Hard” and “Wish Me Away.”  For Closing Night, we experience a British invasion with two beautiful time pieces with “The Night Watch” and “Christopher and His Kind.”

This show being held at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in gay Fort Lauderdale sounds uh-mazing…

I really don’t know how I feel about this.  Taco Bell is preparing to add a taco made out of Doritos to their menu of yumminess. I love me some Doritos, but this just seems like overkill.  Here’s what Taco Bell’s statement said:

The Doritos Locos Taco is basically a Taco Surpreme inside a shell made from Doritos. The idea, which may or may not have been spawned by a Facebook group with over 3,000 members called the “Taco Shells Made From Doritos Movement,” started testing in Ohio last spring and has so far made its way to select areas of California.

Is it just me or are they single handedly increasing the obesity rate world wide?

Okay, is anyone watching New Girl starring Zooey Deschanel?  The sitcom is only three episodes in and I’m completely hooked.  Can we talk about it?

Zooey plays a girl named Jess who just broke up with her cheating boyfriend.  She’s a little bit offbeat and she ends up moving in with three guys: Nick, Schmidt and Winston.

Nick is still trying to get over his exgirlfriend without becoming her back-up plan.  Schmidt is a self-indulged 20 something-year-old who loves taking his shirt off to show his abs of steel.  Winston is an overseas sports star who is currently not playing sports and picking up odd jobs here in the states.

I don’t want to give too much away but the sitcom really is hilarious.  Watch it Tuesday nights after Glee, because I know ya’ll out there in gay Wilton Manors are tuning in to that.  OKAYYYYY?!
