A Note from the

Editor

Form and Function There are numerous ways for us to stay in contact with each other these days, be it for business or pleasure. Each one has its merits and failings. Knowing the limitations for a method of communication is something I’ve had to reacquaint myself with these past few months in order to do my job. Let me break it down for you. Email is a wonderful tool for transmitting lengthy information and/or images and files, but don’t expect to hear back from a person within minutes. I would say the standard response time (if any) can be anywhere from a day to even a week, depending on who you are sending it to, and the urgency of the information. Facebook messaging to me, falls somewhere in the texting range. Texting is a great way to convey short concise conversations. I absolutely dread trying to communicate drawn out conversations via texting. I don’t know about you guys, but my hands are busy doing things throughout the day, and I don’t need to be stopping whatever I am doing to answer lengthy diatribes via text. However texting is a great way to tell someone where you are, that you miss them, or to send dirty pictures to them (if you’re into that). Finally, I come to “old faithful,” the phone call. It seems to me that people are getting further and further away from this standard form of communication. I have a graphic designer friend whom I have come to believe is pathologically afraid of phone calls. Here’s the deal, if you want an immediate response to your question, either make the call or go get it in person. If you’d like to have a lengthy social call to catch up with a friend or family member, give them a call. If you’re tired of ongoing text exchanges, like I am, and wish to wrap it up with a single chat, make the call. There are other forms of communication of course. I have friends that stay in touch via Grindr, Scruff, and Tindr. Though I have doubts as to their reasons. Plus there is snail mail, fax (does anybody even does that anymore?), and maybe even a Post-it. The point being that we should have reasonable expectations for each form of communication. Know its benefits and limitations, and use accordingly. So Mom, would you please stop inviting me to join Tindr. It’s just gross.

Erotic Energy in Us All Body Electric

veryone has body image issues, selfdoubt, and the innate ability to criticize themselves to the point where one can cripple themselves in life, and in the bedroom. Body Electric star ted out as a school of massage that combined eroticism with spirituality, but has grown into a workshop that tackles inner issues in all of our lives. Using exercises and techniques in breathing, meditation, and of course some physical aspects, Body Electric shows par ticipants that they can be bet ter connected with themselves and the people most impor tant in their lives. Workshop par ticipants find themselves in a safe space where men can feel and be vulnerable with the other men in the workshop. The par ticipant gains greater acceptance of himself as an erotic being, both physically and mentally. “As human beings,” explains Body Electric facilitator William McMeniman, “erotic awareness and erotic expression is our bir thright. It is a major par t of being human, but it has been denied to so many of us. Body Electric of fers a sense of coming home to yourself.” Par ticipants discover ways to develop a more satisfying erotic relationship with others. They become more aware of spiritual dimensions in their erotic explorations. “It allows you to remember, to come back to a real, felt sense of self—that erotic awareness and erotic expression—in all of its wonder,” states McMeniman.

By Jonathan Bugg workshop is for those who are ready to vigorously explore new levels of feeling, both within themselves and within a communit y of men.

Gay Rapper’s Delight Cazwell and Friends Join Forces on ‘Fresh,’ Fun Album BY JESSE A. HANCOCK

At first, people were a little shocked. People, gay and straight, asked, “Did he really just say what I think he said?” Years later, his edgy gay anthem, “All Over My Face,” has been played all over Logo, on the Internet, and in every gay bar in Atlanta. Who is he? He’s Luke Caswell, of course, better known as “Cazwell,” and he has mastered the art of writing songs that stick in people’s heads. It’s hard to believe it has been four years since we last saw him and his oiled-up guys dancing around that ice cream truck! Since he burst onto the gay music scene in 2006 with his album, Get Into It, Cazwell has also sung about where he buys his socks (“on 14th Street”) and eating “Rice and Beans.” He also famously saw Beyoncé at Burger King (“and she was eatin’”). His songs make you laugh. They make you dance (or at least tap your foot). They make you think. With his new album, Hard 2 B Fresh, fans are sure to be singing along and thinking about “blocking your number” and “dancing like you got good credit.” This new album is chock full of collaboration with artists such as Cherie Lily, Peaches, Naaldekoker, Roxy, Alyssa Edwards, and Manila Luzon. With or without these guest artists, Cazwell is sure to entertain with 17 tracks on this new album. Get ready, Atlanta. Cazwell is back! David Magazine: Let’s first talk about your new CD after four years, Hard 2 B Fresh. Which track is your favorite, and why? Cazwell: It changes from day to day. Today my favorite track is “Spicy.” I’ve just really been into [that track] lately. I’m 20 // 10.29.2014

going to be performing it, and I released a video. I also really love the song, “I Blocked Your Number.” That song has, like, every ingredient I love in a song. There’s heart to it; there’s a story to it; the beat’s dope. It’s a true story. I will say I am in love with this album. I’m glad that I did it right, and I love every single song on it. To me it’s a really strong album. I love it even more than my last one.

do think it’s hilarious, and you have to laugh at the state of bad credit and the economy in this country. I think there’s something funny about the fact that we go broke trying to look gorge’ for other broke people. Everyone’s so afraid of looking poor, and everyone’s so afraid their financial status will be known. There’s a lot of shame in debt and being behind in your bills, and we try to fake it by wearing expensive clothes and $900 shoes and things like that. We have the wrong state of mind. So to tell DA: It’s got a lot of songs on it. That’s great! someone to dance “like you got good credit” and put all those financial troubles on the back burner, that’s what that song is Cazwell: Yeah, I know it has been a while since I dropped like all about. Look at what happened to Teresa Giudice on The Real a full body of work, but I’ve been dropping a single or video Housewives of New Jersey, ya know? two or three times a year, just to keep the machine going. To be able to drop a big chunk of work for people to judge me DA: Do you think Teresa and her husband got what on is good. they deserved, or was the judge too hard? DA: “No Selfie Control” really makes fun of today’s self-obsessed culture. Do you take a lot of selfies? Cazwell: Yeah, I definitely take a lot of selfies. I like taking selfies. I think they’re fun and ridiculous and obnoxious. Some days I take more than others. A lot of people have no selfie-control, so it’s relatable. DA: If a guy you’re interested in is too obsessed with taking selfies, is that a turnoff, or even a deal breaker, for you?

Gay men are just as entitled to talk about the sex they want as straight men.

Cazwell: That’s an interesting question because I wrote that song about an ex-boyfriend of mine who was totally obsessed with taking selfies. In the video I put my phone on a moving ceiling fan and timed it so I could take selfies while I was lying on the bed or the floor, and that’s what he used to do. It doesn’t really bother me so much when people take pictures of themselves, but I don’t like people who have to tell all their personal information on social media. That’s a lesson I learned. I’ll never again date somebody and put all my romantic information out there. If a relationship is precious to me, then I keep it private. DA: I heard Rupaul’s Drag Race Season 6 winner Bianca Del Rio inspired the title of the song “Dance Like You Got Good Credit” during a dance contest in a club where you both were performing. Can you give our readers another behind-the-scenes story about one or two of the new songs?

Cazwell: Wow, I could talk about reality TV for a long time. I was shocked that she got jail time! I thought she would get probation. It’s heartbreaking to watch any mom get sent away, and Teresa will be away from her four kids for a year and three months. She has a routine that has to do with sun up to sun down taking care of her kids. I think it’s mentally going to fuck her up. I feel really bad for her because I don’t think she’s smart enough to think of a way to fuck over banks and bank loans. I honestly think her husband was like, “Here, honey, sign this.” She cooks and cleans and does what she’s told to do. I don’t think she’s very financially savvy in any way, shape, or form. She should have been smarter.

DA: Will there be a tour to promote this CD? When can we expect to see you in Atlanta? Cazwell: Oh yeah, I love playing in Atlanta, and I love playing at Jungle! I really hope they’ll have me down soon. I’m putting together a southwestern tour and an Australian tour. All that’s pretty much going to start happening in November and through the holidays. DA: What is one of the best things about being in and performing in Atlanta? Cazwell: The weather! It’s beautiful there in October. You guys are super smart to have your Gay Pride in October because it is not totally hot, and no one else is having their Pride. It’s a really cool time to have Pride.

Cazwell: “I Blocked Your Number” definitely came from a breakup I went through last year. I literally had to block my ex- DA: Going back a little, were you surprised that boyfriend’s number. I just kind of broke down in the song the Logo refused to show “All Over My Face”? Do you breakup and what went down and why it happened. That’s the ever worry about offending anyone? story behind that. As for “Dance Like You Got Good Credit,” the title was definitely inspired by Bianca Del Rio. She’s awesome. I davidatlanta.com // 21

then on the other hand say being gay isn’t natural. It has really opened the doors and forced people to open their eyes about gay people. Before, everyone in the family stayed in the closet, and there was no one gay on television. If you just stayed in your small, conservative circle, you didn’t know anyone who was gay or transgendered. Now it is really humanizing people. I think the real struggle that the gay community needs to focus on is trans issues, especially for trans women of color. There is someone being murdered like twice a month if not more, and they tend to not find the murderer. I don’t know why. It’s like the case goes cold or no one really cares. In August 2013 Islan Nettles, a female transgender of color, was murdered in Harlem across the street from a police station. The police officer pulled Paris Wilson off her while he was pounding her in the face. She went to the hospital. She went into a coma. She died three days later, and he didn’t even get an assault charge. There were witnesses, police officers, a camera. It’s like, what else do we need? What’s the problem? I really think we have to continue to fight and defend our trans brothers and sisters. DA: What musicians, gay or straight, do you most admire, and why?

Cazwell: I don’t think that video specifically offended people as much as the fact that no matter how the song was edited, you couldn’t escape that it was about getting jizz on your face. Or someone else’s face. In that case I understand. Little kids watch TV, and they shouldn’t hear or see something like that. Logo eventually did play it, but they waited until after 11 p.m. or something like that. I do not like offending people. It doesn’t make me feel good when somebody comes up to me after a show and says, “When you said this, it really offended me.” As a gay guy, I know what it feels like to be offended. To create that feeling for someone else does not make me feel good. I want to be loved and I want my music to be loved, but I can’t be afraid of offending people just for being a gay guy. It’s going to happen. Gay men are just as entitled to talk about the sex they want as straight men. When straight men talk among themselves about the bitches they slap in the ass or the type of titties they like, no one holds that against them. Gay men should feel just as entitled to express that. When “All Over My Face” dropped, that feeling was created. Gay men related to that song in a way. Gay men are always looking for a reflection of themselves.

Cazwell: I’m really into a lot of the gay rappers who are coming into the scene. I pay attention to it. Some of them are just so tight. I’m a big fan of Cakes Da Killa, Mykki Blanco, Leaf, Big Dipper, and Princess Nokia. There are also straight rappers and producers that I like, of course. There’s Katie Got Bandz. I really love her voice. I also pay attention to what Diplo does, and Yellow Claw. The people I listen to the most are probably the people and producers I’ve worked with. I’ve been blessed to work with Richie Beretta. I did four or five songs with him. He works with Major Lazer and Diplo. I’ve also worked with Naaldekoker. We did “The Biscuit” on this new album. He is from South Africa and works with Die Antwoord. I’m a big fan of them. I listen to these people all the time, and I listen to Mixcloud and a lot of the big DJs in New York, like Nita Aviance and Juliana Huxtable. Just like up and coming DJs doing sick parties here in New York. DA: You seem very comfortable in front of the camera. Do you have any goals of being an actor?

Cazwell: I have goals of anything that has to do with show business and getting paid. Haha! I’d like to be an actor, but I’d also like to be able to contribute to the script. I’d like to have some control and flexibility with the character. I’d love to start acting and do more things on TV in general. In particular, I’d like to do comedy. DA: As an openly gay artist, are you pleased with the I think I’m pretty good at comedy. progress being made for LGBT people in music, TV, movies, and sports? What will it take for equality to DA: What’s next for you? Is there anything else you’d like our Atlanta boys to know? finally happen? Cazwell: I am pleased. Of course, it’s always moving slower than we want. But you know, half the country has legal gay marriage now, and things are happening and moving in a positive direction. It makes me feel really good about the future. I think we all have to thank the Internet for that. The Internet made the world really small. It’s hard to see a four-year-old boy wrap a towel around his waste and do all the moves to Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’ and 22 // 10.29.2014

Cazwell: People should know that my album is amazing, that it’s the best album of the century! My album saves lives and cures diseases. Just kidding, but people should buy the album on iTunes and let me know what songs they like. I take that into consideration when thinking about singles to drop or when I’m making a video. I’m also working on an underwear line for Christmas time. I should have some ice cream truck underwear out there.

The Gayest HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

of 2014

BY MIKE Y ROX

s holidays go, Halloween is undoubtedly the gayest. It’s the one time of year where homos can pretend they’re hetero, straight boys step out in short skirts, and grown women turn every respectable profession they can think of into slutty versions of their former selves.

outfit that’s completed with a white bowtie, U-shaped satin vest and tuxedo tailcoat. Part your full head of hair on the side (or don a bowler hat) and puff on a fag (the British term for cigarette; not whatever you’re thinking) to fully embody the baddest bitch in Grantham House. Hedwig

Of course you can head to your local costume shop and pick up a played-out, plastic-wrapped outfit, but we know you better than that. That’s why we’ve compiled this comprehensive list of the most topical, haute and hilariously gay-friendly Halloween costumes of 2014. From hairy howlers that roam the night to John Travolta’s most memorable characters, this year’s hottest TV shows, news stories and pop-culture juggernauts are now the must-wear, one-night disguises of the season.

The East German transgender singer with an “angry inch” between her legs experienced somewhat of a renaissance this year as actors Neil Patrick Harris, Andrew Rannells, and Michael C. Hall all stepped into the punk-rock role on Broadway. And now you too can milk John Cameron Mitchell’s cash cow for your own benefit by raiding your wacky Aunt Barb’s closet for late ’70s/early ’80s-inspired fashion, Any John Travolta Character BeDazzling a pair of cutoff DaisyDuke-style denim, and rockin’ a Oprah’s dear John will deny that he’s a Golden Girls-watching, sick ‘Hed’-wig that you can score Folsom Street-walking, magic-hair-growing, happy-ending- on Etsy. loving friend of Kevin Spacey’s until the day he dies, but he has given us nearly 30 years’ worth of iconic characters that we can pilfer for Halloween getups – and that’s gotta count for something. Which Travolta character will strike your fancy this year? Vinny Barbarino? Tony Manero? Danny Zuko? His cringe-worthy Edna Turnblad? Whatever poison you pick, kindly keep it in your pants. Unless, of course, you’ve got enough paper to pay that boy off. Early 20th Century Underbutler You don’t have to blackmail your blue-blooded undercover lover to play the part of Thomas Barrow – the conniving gay underbutler on the sharp and soapy PBS period drama Downton Abbey – this Halloween. Dress to impress both nobles and peasants without dropping too much dough by assembling your post-Victorian-era attire from thrift shops and consignment finds. Pleated black trousers and a crisp bandcollar button-down lay the foundation for this 26 // 10.29.2014

Delusional Reality Star Brother of Mediocre Pop Star This summer’s season of Big Brother was a breath of fresh air (thanks to gratuitous displays of rock-hard flesh being flaunted around the house for three glorious months), especially when you consider what a homophobic and racist disaster last season was. And in keeping with traditional reality-show formula, there was one over-the-top gay in the latest cast who just had to go and ruin it for the rest of us on a thrice-weekly basis on the most watched network in America. Frankie Grande, the ironically removed-from-reality “media mogul” (yes, that’s actually what he calls himself), spent the entirety of his time on the show prancing around the house, pining for every smidge of bromo affection he could get. Immortalize this walking, talking caricature this Halloween by frosting your tips hot pink, slipping into a pair of too-short shorts, layering a sequined faux-fur-collar vest over an American Apparel T-shirt, and flashing double sideways peace signs until you’ve effectively hypnotized your straight crush into questioning his sexuality. (Uh huh. Some guys have all the luck.)

Tricks of the Trade photos: Russ Youngblood

By Jonathan Bugg

o you’re all set to get gussied up for Halloween. You’ve either been to your local theatrical supply store, or found what you needed online. You have read the instructions for the prosthetics and make-up and have been given the general “broad strokes” ideas for accomplishing the desired look. How about a few more tips and tricks from a professional make-up guru? Techniques that will have you going from amateur to pro in no time (just kidding, this takes years of practice to be this good). Stephanie Anderson is an Atlanta based Painter and Body Artist who has been making waves all around town with her photorealistic approach. She graciously agreed to give a short (four hour) demonstration with her assistant Titus, and share some of the tips and tricks that she has learned over the years. We even managed to convince owner of BJ Roosters, Bobby Hamill to volunteer as our “Day of the Dead” guinea pig.

Tips for Prosthetics: 1: Clean your application brushes with dish soap and let dry on a paper towel, even if they’re new. 2: Clean the skin with Witch Hazel and dust off prosthetics. 3: Using products like Pros-Aide or spirit gum, apply to centerline of prosthetic, and down the centerline of the face (temple, nose, and chin). Get the prosthetic anchored by holding for about 45 seconds. Then stretch the prosthetic to each temple and adhere there. Follow carefully (and slowly) adhering from the center to the edges. 4: Smooth out the edges using a product like Pros-Aide cream over the prosthetic. Make sure that you powder down the edges to prevent the cream from being tacky with transparent powder. 30 // 10.29.2014

Make-Up Tips: 1: Do not use acrylic paints, they can cause bad allergies because of the nickel. Plus, they tend to peel off. Use make-up that can be purchased at any Halloween or special effects business. 2: In general start your base layer with your darker color and work up to you highlight colors. This technique works best for werewolves, zombies, and the like. In this case, with Bobby, we used a lighter bone color and created the stains and craggy nature with darker colors on top. 3: If you are using alcohol-based make-up remember that it only goes on and comes off with alcohol. This is not the alcohol you drink, but the kind you rub. 4: For that extra bit of realism, use a course brush and lightly fling paint to speckle the surface and give added depth.

Beat Box Fall’s Hottest Club Tracks By Jimmy Newsum A chill may be in the air but gay clubs show no sign of cooling down. DJs and remixers are working overtime to keep the dark confines and pulsing rhythms of their rooms hot and sweaty. Here are the top scorchers being played on dance floors this fall. “Dance Like You Got Good Credit” Cazwell From the album, Hard 2 B Fresh (Peace Bisquit) Everyone’s favorite gay hiphopper presents another ridiculously fun club track that brilliantly showcases Cazwell’s electrifying charisma. In ‘Dance’, he tackles the world’s debt crisis and how many of us go broke trying to make ourselves look rich. Sexy dance diva Cherie Lily (wife of rocker Andrew W.K. who really is legit preggers in the song’s must-see music video) collaborates with Cazwell on this hilarious catchy ode to stylin’ poverty. “One On One” Ashley J (Dauman Music) Are you longing for the days of Amber when tracks like “Sexual (Li da Di)” and “Above The Clouds” ruled the dance floor? We’ve found the next best thing in EDM’s newest princess, Ashley J. Her debut track has the propulsive, soulful dancepop sound of the former club sensation. It’s whimsical and dreamy (like Amber) with a great beat behind it (like Amber) 32 // 10.29.2014

that makes it super fun and easy to dance to (like Amber). Plus, the single has some serious music muscle working for it. It was written by Rick Nowels (writer of Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness”) and Billy Steinberg (writer of Demi Lovato’s “Give Your Heart A Break”) and has incredible remixes by DJ Yiannis, Reid Stefan and Sted-E & Hybrid Heights. “I Look Fucking Cool” Adore Delano (with Alaska Thunderfuck) From the album, Till Death Do Us Party Two of the fiercest queens on the planet come together in this rowdy, bold, hiphop inspired proclamation track. In it, the wild child of drag (Delano) and the alien queen (Thunderfuck) flip-the-bird at any and all who disrespect them for their unconventionality. They like the way they look, thank you very much. Listen to their track and you’ll like the way they sound, too. “Live That Day” Sophia Lolley From the EP, Sophia Lolley (Peace Bisquit) Electronic music’s best-kept secret set clubs ablaze two years ago with “Da Bop”. Now comes a full EP from the spirited British singer with seven twisted tracks including “Live That Day”, a song she wrote as a tribute to her grandmother who died four years ago. Sophia describes her sound as theatrical disco pop, however the album is sprinkled with deliciously colorful music of varying styles with a strong 1940’s cabaret influence. Whatever it is, the album is unique, witty, and thoroughly engaging. “Love Come Home” Kristine W From the album, New & Number Ones (Fly Again) Kristine’s label conducted a poll on Facebook this summer, asking fans to choose the third release from the queen of club’s studio album. The overwhelming majority smartly chose “Love Come Home”, Kristine’s spiritual track about embracing change. Like most of the songs on New & Number Ones, this latest can be interpreted in multiple ways. It can be about the end of a relationship or the return of military from service or about loving oneself, because only when love comes home to live in your heart are you able to give that love to someone else. OK, that’s schmaltzy but this latest from our favorite dance floor diva is not. Part 1 remixes by Todd Terry, Subgroover, Phill Wellz, Andy Sikorski and Hermanos Inglesos.

is more an experimental offering with Moran seeming to stick one toe into the EDM pool. It’s as phenomenal as his previous works and likely to be the first of many similar tracks. Spoiler alert: Tony Moran provides the lead vocals and yes, he sings as fiercely as he spins!

“Sweat” XELLE The latest track from the girl group best known for throwing an illegal dance party on a moving NYC subway train is a little bit dirty, a tad naughty, and a whole lot of fun. Written by Zach Adam and Lisa Greene (who has penned hits for Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue), the megapop track has high-energy vocals, a danceable beat and powerful synth rhythms. It’s sassy, frolicsome, colorful and slightly off-the-wall. Perfect for the treadmill. Now, work bitches. “Take My Breath Away” Sylvia Tosun (Sea To Sun) The EDM remake of the ‘80s classic from Top Gun reflects on the joyful, visceral feeling of the world’s beauty that exists all around us. What makes Tosun’s version more captivating than all previous covers of the track is the extraordinary production by Bimbo Jones. Those four-note keyboard figures, suspended placidly over synth beds, give the song a calm, weightless feel. It conjures up a sense that love is a dream state, a suspension of time. The value of Tosun’s “Take My Breath Away” isn’t in its weight but in its stillness. “Take It All The Way” Tony Moran (Sugarhouse) The two-time Grammy nominated DJ-producer serves it up New York style with his latest track, a sweeping blend of hard house and epic grooves, guaranteed to wake up even the most jaded club music fan. However, if you’re expecting the thumping tribal beat sound that has been Moran’s staple for years, it’s not here. “Take It All The Way” 34 // 10.29.2014

“We Are Young” Vassy (Peace Bisquit) The enormous success of “Bad”, Vassy’s track with David Guetta, launched the young Aussie’s music career into overdrive. However, she’s no one hit wonder. Previous tracks like “In The Sun” served as the soundtrack for Pepsi’s ‘Real Big Summer’ campaign. “Lucky Day” was featured in Victoria Secret’s ‘Body by Victoria’ commercial. And “We Are Young” was featured in the trailer for Disney’s Oscar-winning film Frozen as well as an ad campaign for Target. Leave it to the gang at Peace Bisquit to assemble all Vassy’s indie-laced anthems and gems from commercials, TV and movies into one handy dandy soulfully dynamic compilation. “Forever” Frankie (featuring Ralphi Rosario) (Dauman Music) The third single from house stunner Frankie grabbed the #1 spot on the Billboard club play chart in its first week. The reason? Simple. “Forever” is a great dance song with quality vocals and music. Co-written by Ralphi Rosario and three-time nominated lyricist Pamela Phillips-Oland, the song incorporates elements of late 70s classic disco to build a feel-good track that forces clubbers off their ass and onto the dance floor. Remixes by Ralphi Rosario, Twisted Dee, Reid Stefan, Majik Boys and Jeff Barringer. “RSVP” Shara Strand (D1 Music) Dance newcomer Shara Strand aims to solidify herself as a powerhouse anthem artist in this, her latest release from D1. The dance floor-ready track is fun and fresh with a dash of sexy. Executively produced by Peter McLean with additional production by Keith Kemper, the song celebrates the animal nature of clubbers as they prowl the club for prey. It’s much groovier than anything Shara has recorded previously and the Dave Aude mix, in particular, will open her to a larger audience.

Before I Go to Sleep: This psychological thriller is based on the worldwide best-selling novel about a woman (Nicole Kidman) who wakes up every day remembering nothing - the result of a traumatic accident in her past - until one day, new terrifying truths emerge that force her to question everyone around her.

fairyscopes presented by: the armorettes

ARIES (Mar. 20 – Apr. 19): By being around negative and flip people, you might inadvertently pick up these habits. Be careful about your associates because you will find that others judge you according to the company you keep. Make sure to maintain a respectful attitude and proper manners no matter who your company is.

LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22): Your rock-star attitude may be getting a bit old now. People aren’t going to continue to listen to your demands for attention. Every person in the world is special, so try not to act as if you’re the only one who is. Do something for others instead of always expecting things for yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 20): Work toward achieving a better unity between you and the people around you. It could be that certain people in your circle of friends somehow feel alienated. Perhaps they don’t feel like they fit in with the rest of the group. Remind yourself and others that everyone is unique and that all should be equally accepted.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 – May 20): You may feel like the world is caving in on you. It could be that you’ve recently dug your own little cave to crawl into and be safe from the outside world. Realize that the deeper you dig in unstable terrain, the more unsteady the walls. If you aren’t careful, it’s likely to come crashing down on top of you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22): Your ship is finally coming into port after being out in rough seas for so long. It’s time to dock the boat for a while. Relax and explore the area. There is nothing wrong with getting off your vessel for a while. You may not even realize how much you’ve missed solid ground until now. Remember what it’s like to be stable again.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 – Jan. 19): You will feel much better about yourself if you get things done this week. Like a meal that tastes good but isn’t necessarily good for you, you might enjoy this week by being lazy, but you won’t feel so good when the time comes when you realize that you haven’t accomplished anything.

GEMINI (May 21- Jun. 20): Remember that you can only remain in charge as long as the others around you support you. Avoid mutiny by taking care of the people in your world instead of simply trying to run their lives. Gain respect with kind words rather than by enforcing harsh rules and regulations that restrict and aggravate.

LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22): You may still be on something of a high from the last couple weeks. You will definitely be tempted to let the good times continue to roll. Think about ways you can keep them rolling while still maintaining good judgment. Don’t let things get too out of control this week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): You might consider taking a rest this week. Like a sailboat on the ocean, you’ve been taxed lately by all the turbulence. Think about pulling your sails to half-mast in order to take a break. You may not be going as quickly as before, but you will find that this is exactly the rest you need.

CANCER (Jun. 21- Jul. 22): There should be no doubt in your mind about which way to proceed. Don’t let self-doubt sneak into the picture. Your mind is alert, so trust it. Take the lead when you feel confident about a situation. Make sure to eat plenty of protein-rich foods. They’ll help stabilize and bring you another step closer to the realization of your dreams.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): Communicate from a centered space this week. Fortunately, the nature of the week caters to your needs and desires. You shouldn’t have to work too hard to get what you want. Things should come to you naturally. You may wonder why you got stressed out before over what now seem to be small issues.

PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 19): Your thinking is apt to be quite rational this week. This is especially important, since others will be looking for your opinions on a certain matter. People will know that they can get a straight answer from you, so don’t disappoint them. Think through each situation clearly before you offer your advice.

I should really stop developing crushes on strippers I can’t touch.

I bet your ass gets jealous of all the shit coming out of your mouth.

You got mad because I touched your ass, you hypocritical bitch? The only difference between me and all the previous men who have groped your ass is they gave you dollar bills.

There are no bad photos. That’s just how you look sometimes.

Can’t stop drinking about you.

Based on your eyebrows, you have no business giving anyone else advice on life. 68 // 10.29.2014

I’m only letting you buy me drinks, not take me home. So get your hand out of my pants. Yea, hon, you have money, but character and heart your surely lacking! Get some damn manners!

Don’t you hate when someone is so good looking, then they open their mouth?

Why’d you lie to me and say you haven’t been with anyone when I can see your fly is down and that hicky on your neck speaks louder than anything that comes out your lying ass! Buford Highway in Doraville is the new Cheshire Bridge of Atlanta. You have to kiss a few frogs to find your prince, not sleep with the whole pond.
