No wonder I’m struggling to get the body I want. I’ve been going about this the wrong way. I should’ve been listening to Miss Piggy all along. After all she looks fabulous.
Follow her advice “remove the wrapper, raise the candy and munch and crunch and chomp and chew…”
I can ask any of my girlfriends and they will be able to recite when and where they had their first kiss. For some it was all they hoped (or perhaps their memory is just kind) and for some it was terrible and results in groans or giggles thinking back to that moment.
First Gay Kiss
However, for most gay men and women, there are two first kisses. That first kiss with the member of the opposite sex and then your first kiss with a person of the same sex. While I was perusing YouTube earlier this week, I saw a lot of videos of guys talking about their “first gay kiss” and it got me to thinking…
Do you remember your first kiss with a person of the same sex? Was it all you hoped for? Was it a complete disaster? Do tell.
Carnival Week in Provincetown started this past Saturday. Today, the week-long celebration, comes together on Commercial Street for the big parade. This year’s theme is A Space Odessey.
I’ll be taking many photos so I can share the experience for anyone interested who was not able to attend. I’ve included a quick video I created last year after the 2011 Carnival parade. Enjoy this clip.

The London Olympics games have introduced me to so many new sports. With all the attention on sports like handball — doesn’t that sound naughty? I can hardly say it without laughing — I’d nearly forgotten the appeal of wrestling. These images photographed by Brent Martin have me wishing I watched more wrestling matches.
Rents and housing prices will never compete with those in New York City or even San Francisco, but sadly Boston does have a well deserved reputation for being a very expensive place to live.
An article that appeared in The Boston Globe on Tuesday about the unusually tight rental market in Boston points to a large influx of empty-nesters who are buying and renting properties as fast as they become available.
The Boston Globe story found that rent for a two-bedroom apartment ranges between an average of $1,237 per month in Dorchester to $2,857 per month in Back Bay. Let’s hope that more properties will be built and quickly so the market doesn’t add any more stress on young professional, couples and families who want to remain in Boston but are priced out of the market.

What can I say? I’m all tapped out. If you want original content get the Times. Plus, he’s so damn handsome.
The Public Relations department for Chick-Fil-A may hope the controversy stirred up by their president, Dan Cathy, will now go away, but I have no intention of letting this issue drop.
And thanks to 80,000 petition signatures urging the publisher of the Berenstains Bears, HarperCollins, to stop providing books in Chick-fil-A Kids’ meals, I’m not alone either.
Last week representatives from CREDO Action, SumofUs.org and Faithful America delivered the signed petition to HarperCollins. The SumofUs.org founder had this to say why they collected signatures.
By partnering with Chick-fil-A, a company that actively bankrolls hatred and discrimination against the LGBT community, HarperCollins is undermining the lessons of the beloved Bear family. The Berenstains should follow the Muppets’ lead, and cut ties with Chick-fil-A. HarperCollins has a chance here to make a stand for equality and strike a blow against bigotry.
There has been a bit of controversy raging among the world of foodies in Boston due to comments made by Dave Andelman from the Phantom Gourmet. Last week Andelman told BostonInno all food trucks should be 1,000′ from brick and mortar restaurants. He has since said 500′ would be sufficient, but I find his entire argument inane.
The basis of Andelman’s argument (as I understand it) is that the less costly business model for food trucks puts traditional restaurants at a disadvantage so food trucks may charge a lower price. While this is true, I wonder if Andelman has lost his mind entirely since he is essentially saying dining from a food truck is the equivalent of dining at a restaurant, which last time I checked came with perks like: tables, chairs, climate control, wait staff, bathrooms, etc… Never mind the fact that when the mercury has risen (or more likely in the months to come plummets) food trucks in Boston are at a distinct disadvantage.
Whoever handles The Phantom Gourmet’s PR should be fired for allowing this discussion to take place and Andelman should be muzzled.
I recently featured a Louis Vuitton condom in my post Label Whore so when I was emailed this image I had to laugh and give equal time so one would not consider me biased.
I leave for Provincetown later today on the afternoon high speed ferry and with any luck I’ll be sipping a cocktail at the Boatslip Tea Dance this afternoon. I will be posting photos from Ptown’s Carnival Week celebration which actually started this past Saturday.
In the interim, I thought I’d share some pictures from Carnival 2011.
Last year’s theme “Can’t Stop the Music” was a lot of fun. I’ll be sure to share with you the crazy costumes from this year’s parade which takes place tomorrow (Thursday) once I return home.
Earlier this month The Sun reported that Orlando Bloom might be headed to Broadway in a new adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet. No further information was provided, but this would be Bloom’s debut on Broadway if the rumor is true.
I love this play and have long enjoyed Bloom. It is not hard for me to imagine him as a Montague.

Check out this conceptual piece, Argentina-based artist and video director Luciano Podcaminsky created.
The image of a coffin-tanning bed sends a fairly powerful message – akin to the warning labels on cigarette packs. I’m not sure it would stop people from using these machines but it certainly would make most people pause and think twice about what they are doing. More images of the “sundead” tanning booth are here.

Today’s Temptation Tuesday post is for all you ginger fans. This handsome photo has been making the rounds on a number of blogs so I thought I’d hop on the bandwagon. Enjoy.
CAMBRIDGE, MA—A study released Thursday by researchers at Harvard University’s Department of Psychology has found that the simple act of pretending one’s life is not a complete shambles threatening to collapse at any moment works.
“Even when everything is coming apart at the seams and disaster is almost certainly imminent, putting up a good front for friends and loved ones makes everything better,” said Professor Christine Wanamaker, who explained that smiling a lot and evasive answers were usually enough to get by. “Tell everyone that things are fine, and they will be fine. Just don’t over-think it.”
When asked about her study’s methodology, Wanamaker said the research was rock-solid, had been looked over by a bunch of scientists, and definitely wasn’t anything to worry about.
