Chow down (at Chick-fil-A)

I saw this very funny (although not appropriate for work) video on the DanNation blog and knew I wanted to share this.  You can check out the lyrics if you like at Celebridyke blog.

Enjoy

One thing that seems to be missing from the conservative movement in the US is a sense of irony.  So one shouldn’t assume drag queens creating a video that mocks the Christian-right owned Chick-fil-A, is an endorsement. I figured I’d spell that out for the less sophisticated who may by accident find this corner of the internet.

Spartacus sizzles

Last year I was mildly addicted to Spartacus: Blood and Sand and developed a bit of a crush on the Welsh actor who played the lead, Andy Whitfield.   Sadly, Whitfield lost his battle with cancer in September, and after he passed, I stopped watching the series.  Maybe I should start watching again.  The writers have clearly increased the homo eroticism in this season’s Spartacus: Vengeance.

Check out this passionate kiss between Agron and Nasir.

The Real Housewives of South Boston – St. Paddy’s Day

The Real Housewives of South Boston are back at it again with a St. Patrick’s Day video.  To paraphrase Sharon from The Real Housewives of South Boston, “as per usual” the language and content is not safe for work (NSFW).

Adele vs. Daft Punk

Loving Serrano’s Adele vs. Daft Punk remix of Something About the Fire. It may not be everyone’s liking, but I love the mash-up, lounge vibe and think it makes for a relaxing way to enjoy a Sunday afternoon.  Pop a bottle of a sparkling wine, sit down with some friends and enjoy. Remix by Carlos Serrano

While reading this month’s Boston Spirit Magazine I read their article “Who Says Money Can’t Buy Happiness“.  Two friends, Rich Cook and Steven Grant, each day hide a $20 bill somewhere in Greater Boston then post clues online.  Rich Cook who lives here in the South End said in the Spirit Magazine interview “Being able to make people’s day and to show how happy they are to receive twenty dollars has really been worth it to us.”  The effort is also in a way an homage to a third friend of theirs who they had discussed the idea, but sadly passed this past fall after suffering a head injury.

Rich and Steven’s tribute to their friend put a smile on my face and I hope this story will leave you feeling the same. Check out their website at www.plentyoftwenties.com and be sure to check out their humorous video. 

Our Blades are F**king Great

Looking for a little humor to get you through your day? Check out Dollar Shave Club’s website at DollarShaveClub.com and watch their hilarious video.

Essentially the firm is offering one month’s worth of razors for $1 plus shipping and handling. Not only does the video make me want to try out their product, but it seems like a brilliant deal.

2012 Taste of the South End

You know how much I enjoy my food so the fact that I look forward to the Taste of the South End each year will not be a shock.  The event draws 40 restaurants from the neighborhood and consistently sells out. The proceeds go to the very worthy AIDS Action Committee.

The event includes plenty to eat and drink with more than a dozen different wines to sample.  Sam Adams was the brewer on hand this year and they were featuring their new cider, Angry Orchard.  If you like cider, its worth the try.  The VIP lounge which traditionally includes a specialty bar, restaurants from outside the South End and comfortable seating did not disappoint.  Restaurants in the VIP lounge included: Jasper White’s Summer Shack, Cambridge favorite – Upstairs on the Square and The Ritz Carlton’s – Artisan’s Bistro.  Below is a video that I created for AIDS Action Committee

2012 Fenway Men’s Event

This past weekend was one of Boston’s largest GLBT fundraisers of the year.  More than 1,300 gay men, their friends and allies came together to raise money for one of the nation’s largest GLBT healthcare facilities, The Fenway Health Clinic.

This year’s recipient of the Gerry E. Studds Award was Massachusetts Representative Barney Frank.

Below is a quick video I have created from the 2012 Fenway Men’s Event on Saturday night. Thank you very much to all who posed for a photo and my sincere apologies to those who were not included.

Spandy Andy is sexy and he knows it

Here is something that is certain to make you laugh in spite of the fact that it is Monday.  Check out “Spandy Andy” as he shows off at St. Kilda Beach in Melbourne Australia.  He’s got the moves and the personality to match. 

Happiness: Hurry Hurry Hurry Quick Quick Quick

I cannot think of a more appropriate song for a Friday afternoon.

In a Ptown state of mind

Readers of this blog know that I have a serious love affair with the tiny town at the tip of Cape Cod – otherwise known as Provincetown.

Recently I booked time in Ptown for Sergio and I to  spend both 4th of July and Carnival (which takes place each August).

I know it is still several months until summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, but are you making plans to go anywhere special this summer?

Where do you like to get away for long weekends during the summer months?  Fire Island…Russian River… Rehoboth… Ogunquit? I’m curious – do tell.

2012 Grammy’s tribute to Whitney Houston

The 2012 Grammy’s had Jennifer Hudson sing, I will always love you, as a tribute to Whitney Houston who passed away in her hotel room the night before. Hudson’s soulful version, which started without any musical accompaniment did justice to the original and was the high point of the award ceremony.

Whitney Houston: August 1963 – February 2012

Maybe its a cliche for a gay blogger to post something about Whitney Houston on the evening of her death, but I loved her voice and her music.  This song has a lot of memories and remains one of my favorite Whitney Houston songs despite the title’s obvious irony.

Idina Menzel performs Another Day and Defying Gravity

I couldn’t resist the opportunity to include a photo of Idina alongside her handsome husband, Taye Diggs.  Below is a video from Idina Menzel’s show aboard the Atlantis Cruise. I’ve included her singing “Another Day”  from Rent and “Defying Gravity” from Wicked.
