Yeti Menace

Every time I pass through the checkout aisle, I can’t help myself, but I HAVE to take a look at the tabloids, which are usually good for a chuckle or two. Last night I couldn’t help myself, I had to push a handicapped Armenian woman out of the way and block her from piling her groceries on the conveyer to snap a quick one of the latest BREAKING NEWS… Obama is GAY! And Michelle, bless her heart, is covering up for him.

You know, its about time… I was kinda waiting for this shoe to drop. I mean, come on… He’s “effete,” he’s “poised,” and according to gay-lover Sean Penn… he’s “elegant.” I love my gay president (but not in a gay-way) and we should all be so lucky to have a beard with such awesome arms.

Tonight I stepped out of my building and it was one of those beautiful magical moments when the light of the day was receding and the city was transforming for nightfall. Peace, y’all.

Stanley Kubrick’s classic film The Shining has a firm place in my Vers-Top 10 Movies of All Time, and the online exhibit “Artwork and No Play,” running through Oct. 31 at the Phone Booth Gallery, is a truly delightful tribute to some of the most memorable moments from the film.

The McCain of today sayz: “I was against it before I was for it!” OK, so I’m paraphrasing… but hey, with this tricky guy, I can barely keep track… who knows what he’ll say next? Maybe…

The incomparable masculine images of my friend Blake Little are on display in his show The Company of Men opening September 18, 2008 at Wessel + O’Connor Fine Art in Brooklyn, NY. Blake has captured the reality, masculinity and sexiness of these men, many of whom I know. Blake has an eye that cuts to the realism of who these men are. It’s amazing to see them this way. Blake is working a book of these stunning photographs. There are several pages of images to browse thru, check it out. I only wish I could go to NY for the opening… Thanks, Blake!
