I’m not a huge fan of the name of this product, but what they lack in creative branding they more than make up for with ingenuity. I want one of these.

Snowdecahedrons in Dewey Square Boston
This is one way to deal with snow.
Saturday night video: Panti at TEDx Dublin
This talk was given by Panti at TEDx in Dublin, Ireland last September. Panti shares her experience of the little, everyday things that can have a huge impact on the wellbeing of gay people and shares her thoughts on navigating a world in which the simple act of holding hands can be a political statement in itself.
Coming out
It is 2015 and for some, coming out and being true to who you are with your closest circle of friends and family can remain daunting. Watching this video of the Rhodes Brothers who are fraternal twins brought me back to when I finally came out at first to friends and later my family. It is hard to articulate how personal and terrifying this process can be for individuals and my heart broke all over again watching this clip. I have no idea what their relationship with their father is like who apparently does not live near his sons, but his response was spot on, which only made me get more choked up. Nearly 20 years later and I still get emotional watching the stress and pain associated with coming out.
Much thanks to NewNowNext for sharing this story since I don’t subscribe to the Rhodes Bros YT channel and missed this post from earlier in the month.
I am the locker room guy from Jimmy Kimmel Live
Is there any doubt that Late Night TV is in the midst of a Renaissance? I love Kimmel’s fictitious beef with Damon that goes back to when his former girlfriend, Sarah Silverman shared this hilarious video, I’m F*cking Matt Damon.
I’ve not been following the details of ‘DeflateGate’, but this video from Jimmy Kimmel Live last night is hilarious. Love all those local Boston actors.
“Untitled” (Go-Go Dancing Platform), 1991
Are you one of those guys who doesn’t like going to museums? Do you find them stuffy and boring? Maybe this exhibit in Los Angeles is more your speed.
Cuban artist, Felix Gonzalez-Torres’, takes the male body out of the gay club and into the museum. The installation at UCLA’s Hammer Museum consists of a lit-up platform, that is empty most of the time except for five minutes a day when a go-go dancer randomly appears. Unscheduled and unannounced, the performer dances to the music blaring from his headphones, inaudible to the guests at the museum. Not your typical installation for sure.
Thanks to Oscar Raymundo and his blog Confessions of a Boy Toy for bringing this story to my attention.

Saturday night video: Trick
This movie was released in 1999 and remains one of the funniest gay-themed movies I can recall watching. Millennials will be horrified to realize this takes place at a time that predates apps and when most still did not have a cell phone.
Saturday night video: Just Add Coco
This video is dedicated to millennials, who Coco is apparently trying to save from themselves. If you like the video you may want to consider subscribing to her YouTube channel or checking out when she may be touring near you.
Saturday night video: 12 Days of Christmas
Not the best drag but she does lip sync better that Brittany and I’ve always enjoyed this version of the song.
Daddyhunt launches new mobile app
Not sure if you happened to see this video on YouTube, but Daddyhunt has a new app for your phone. I’m not sure at what point these apps all become more or less filled with the same guys, but I do think the clip is funny.
My only suggestion to those of you who may be tempted to download this or turn on other similar apps when you’re out is to try making eye contact with someone and saying, “Hello”. It is a tried and true tradition that just might surprise you if you can muster the confidence and give it a try.
