This is totally apropos of nothing, but seeing this made me feel like the eggshell that cases my mind had finally cracked open, and I could no longer tell where I stopped and the magic of the universe began.
THIS IS THE PERFECT TREND STORY! This is IT. It is about how young gay men are "increasingly" (!!!) becoming "sugar babies" to pay for college! Let us break down how it works!
• "Kirk is hardly alone in his decision to sell sex in order to pay for school." (Just alone so far in this story but hey, we get more anecdotes later!)
• "An increasing number of gay male students"
• "In addition to a lackluster job market"
• "While young gay men exchanging sex for money certainly predated the financial collapse"
Early this afternoon we turned off the link to make donations to protestors in Madison, Wisconsin, because, yikes, there is only so much food and whatnots we can deliver! We were kind of expecting a few hundred dollars? Well…
Total donations, after fees taken: $2,272.46. This means pre-fee donations were around $2,340, so I donated $68.17 myself to eradicate them, so none of your kindly-given money is getting skimmed by Paypal. (Fun facts: smallest donation: $1.50; largest: $100. Average was probably around $12.)
Abe Sauer will report back from his (multiple and ongoing) shopping trips and deliveries to people demonstrating in Madison. He's being joined by his brother and [...]
“We’re not just running creative teams,” said Hearst’s men’s group editorial director and Popular Mechanics editor Jim Meigs. “We’re running new business incubators. We’re constantly thinking about where can we take our content and roll it into new platforms and in ways that are going to make money.”
—A MUST READ on the bigwig magazine editor as brand manager.
In case you were in a blackout all weekend, it's say to say that Gaddafi's regime officially toppled over the weekend… probably. (No one's quite ready to say it.) The pictures and video are amazing! Still everyone (everyone being "all the people who are not skirmishing in the streets of Tripoli") keeps hedging, because no one's been sure all night where Gaddafi himself is. (I know where he is: in an extremely long and entirely gold-lined emergency escape tunnel. The other end is surely either in Malta or Crete.)
My favorite update from the awesome Al-Jazeera? "Police have surrounded the Libyan embassy in Sarajevo, Bosnia, after a number [...]
By way of Europopped comes Nikita's new video for "Искусаю." It is barely safe for work, features some highly aggressive eating, lobster-licking and also scantily clad girls getting it on in a hallway and tandem biking. It ends with her them eating $100-bills. Game on.
"David Foxley started the prep company Jack Foxley to service all men whose well-worn sweaters and jackets are in need of some love." —Well. There you have it. But in all seriousness, these sew-'em-yourself elbow patches look great! They even have them in neon ultrasuede… girlfriend!
By way of this Moby Awards judge comes the most terrible book trailer of all time. The winner in the worst book trailer category was also pretty terrifically bad, but judge for yourself….
D.C. comedy site "The Daily Caller" has a hilarious piece today, extremely Swiftian and sophisticated in its humor and irony! It is by a former Tennessee District Attorney, named Joe Rehyansky. It goes like this: "I have never encountered my eminently sensible proposal, one that protects the patriotic urges of some homosexuals as well as the national interest on the basis of 'force readiness' arguments which should govern the thinking of those charged with implementing the defense of our country: Lesbians should be allowed to serve, gay men (hereafter 'gays') should not." Fascinating idea right? He argues this case extremely hilariously well! Here's my favorite ironic transition: "Most [...]
