The Croon of Cameroon Rupaul’s Drag Race Winner Releases Cameroon
By George Shapiro
R
upaul’s Drag Race winner Bebe Zahara Benet started her career as a male model on the runways of France. Yes, a male model. During a show, when some of the female models failed to appear, Bebe – or Kudi, as the male Bebe was known then - was asked to step in as a lady. Bebe Zahara Benet emerged. Two years later, Kudi, er, Bebe, won the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” “Winning the show was a stepping stone to take my artistry to the next level,” explains Bebe. “I’m thankful for all the opportunities that have come my way.” Some of the opportunities have been a photo spread in Paper magazine, an L.A. Eyeworks campaign, a headlining spot on the Absolut Pride Tour, and a record deal. Bebe releases her signature single, “Cameroon” this month. Tell us about your new single, “Cameroon”. After the show, I couldn’t walk down the street without someone howling at me, “Cameroon!” I guess it became my tag line. So I thought what better way to celebrate the win with a song that celebrates my tag line – and the country I love. How is Bebe Zahara Benet re-defining drag? With her unique sense of fashion and style. Her sexy yet salvage personality, her drive and determination. Can you give us examples of celebs that inspire you? There are so many. Beyonce, Diana Ross, Ru Paul, Grace Jones, Tyra Banks, Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry… Is there a story behind the name Bebe Zahara Benet? You know a lot of drag artists have a story behind their name choice. I don’t. When I created my persona, I was thinking of a name that fits it; something edgy, dynamic, classy. I wanted 18 davidatlanta
something that flowed well and was globally appealing. The name Bebe Zahara Benet came to mind. When did you know you were so fabulous, Bebe? I have always known it! (Laughs) Seriously, I work very hard on my artistry and I am my own worst critic. I try to surround myself and work with people who possess a unique talent drive and positive spirit. The end result is fabulousness. You just can’t help it. Did you expect to beat the other fabulous ladies in RuPaul’s Drag Race? One thing I know for sure is that everyone is beatable. However, you never know what is under anyone’s belt so I did not take anyone for granted. Through it all, I focused my energy on representing my persona the most honorable way as possible. That way, even if I did not win the race, I would still own my integrity. Why do you feel you won? I enjoyed the moment in every part of the race. I really believe my energy set me apart. How did you feel about the other ladies on the show? All of the ladies brought something special to the art form. I must tell you I was so happy when it came down to Nina and me because I knew whoever won was going to represent the title wonderfully. She is a superstar. We both just enjoyed the final moment. How did winning the show change your life? It confirmed that anything is possible when you believe, work hard, and do not underestimate yourself. Were you sad to give up your crown to second season winner, Tyra Sanchez? Sad? No, no, no. I was so excited for Tyra! I love her. Plus, I will always be the first.

Cover Story
Homolicious Halloween
Homolicious Halloween Movies with Hot Guys to Die For By Mikey Rox THE COVENANT Before he was wannabe Upper East Side lothario Nate Archibald on “Gossip Girl,” Chace Crawford played Tyler Simms, a Son of Ipswich, one of five bloodlines whose firstborn male of each generation inherits “the Power,” in the “The Covenant.” What that power entails exactly is unknown, except that it gives Tyler (who is only a supporting character in the film) the ability to do neato tricks like jump from dark-andmisty elevations and land unscathed. Yawn. But what “The Covenant” lacks in supernatural spectacle it more than makes up for in smokin’ hot half-nakedness. Take the poolside scene for instance, when Tyler’s also-gifted brethren stroll in shirtless from the locker room wearing only trunk-cut suits and owning the hell out of effortless swagger. Out of the water, kiddies – it’s time for adult swim. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER It’s a crime against the gratuitous horror genre that Ryan Phillippe’s Barry didn’t escape the Fisherman’s hook in “I Know What You Did Last Summer” – or that the Fisherman couldn’t have ripped Barry’s pants off before gutting him like a trout – but at least there’s the gym scene. After an intense eight-second workout (because people born perfect require less exercise than the rest of us), Barry proceeds to the locker room where he disrobes and showers like he loves himself, only to be interrupted by a strange shadow that, wouldn’t ya know it, the dog-tag-clad Barry decides to follow. Thank you, stupid movie rules. For the next minute and a half, viewers are treated to the young Adonis weaving in and out of lockers in a tight terrycloth skirt that accentuates all the right areas. And if that’s not enough to satisfy your Phillippe fantasies, just wait until he gets pissy over his missing letterman jacket. Hell hath no fury like a post-high-school hottie scorned. 30 davidatlanta
THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (2005) As remakes go, this 2005 update of the 1979 classic doesn’t stand out as a winner based on cinematic principles, but it does boast one quality the original didn’t: Ryan Reynolds, dripping wet, upper body a-blazin’. Reynolds plays patriarch George Lutz (whose real-life paranormal experiences in an alleged haunted house on Long Island led to the controversial 1977 book on which both films are based), who is a loving husband and a stepfather to three beautiful girls. Until, that is, he becomes possessed by an evil entity and chases the family around the house with a shotgun. Whatev, right? They probably deserved it. What matters most is that before George goes berserk, he takes a dip in the lake and exits soaked in liquid splendor, pecs and abs glistening in the moonlight, white pajama bottoms painted to his thighs. A beautiful nightmare, indeed.
TWILIGHT: NEW MOON Let’s bypass the bullshit, OK? The only redeeming quality in the “Twilight” snoozefest is Jacob Black (played by Taylor Lautner), a werewolf with a penchant for running around the Washington state backwoods in athletic shorts and sneakers – and nothing else. The first installment was a complete waste of Lautner’s talent (read: eight-pack abs and bulging biceps), but “New Moon” makes amends – and the nowlegal Lautner a star – by giving fans the goods and plenty of ’em. Already established series superstar Robert Pattinson must’ve been pissed about that one. Having to share the spotlight with an immensely better looking – and better bodied – co-star has to kill. Unless he lives by the old (if not completely manipulated) adage, “Once bitten, never shy.” One can hope.
AMERICAN PSYCHO Some stories are better left in print, but the same can’t be said for author Bret Easton Ellis’ masterpiece, “American Psycho.” This satirical tale, set in late-1980s New York City, is narrated by the film’s protagonist – and serial killer – Patrick Bateman, played deftly by crazierthan-thou Christian Bale. But while the book drags on for 416 looooong pages, the movie version runs a digestible 101 minutes, each one more triumphant than before. The film opens poignantly with Bateman taking a leak in his tighty-whiteys, performing yoga in his tightwhiteys, then showering sans tighty-whiteys. And that’s just the first 90 seconds. Fast-forward about an hour and you’ll reach what is arguably the best murderous sex scene in history. After Bateman picks up a hooker, orders an escort and returns home, he hits play on Phil Collins’ “Sussudio” and record on a video camera. Flexing and winking his way to conceitdrenched climax in the mirror, he then cannibalizes one prostitute and chases the other with a chainsaw, wearing nothing more than a pair of sneakers. Run, Bateman, run. THE LOST BOYS Before Edward Cullen, there was Michael Emerson (Jason Patric) – big brother, brooding loner and newly turned vampire. He’s sexy, for sure – because Hollywood demands it of its nightstalkers (here’s winking at you, young Keifer Sutherland) – but that’s not why the world made “The Lost Boys” the quintessential teen fang flick. For that, you can thank late heartthrob Corey Haim and that other Corey who rode his coattails. Infinitely cuter than Feldman, Haim won over fawning girls (and fey fanboys alike) with his vulnerable, adorable turn as Sam, Michael’s little bro. If his fate wasn’t sealed as the object of adolescent affection before, it was when he splish-splashed in a bubble bath while memorably belting out Clarence “Frogman” Henry’s trademark song, “Ain’t Got No Home.” Except he did – locked away in our dreams. 28 DAYS LATER Why Jim (Cillian Murphy) awakens from his coma to a desolate and destroyed London is no secret – the Rage virus has decimated the city and left him seemingly alone – but how he lost his hospital gown remains a mystery. Director Danny Boyle’s 2002 zombie-genre game changer opens with the injured bicycle
messenger locked in a room for his own safety but also very much naked. We’re talkin’ fullfrontal, uncut, in-your-face, flaccid penis action. Which is kinda sweet if you think about it. Because not only did the (probably male) nurse save him from having his face bitten off by the Infected, but it’s highly likely that he went down on him (liberties must be taken for the sake of interpretation) before the world as he knew it ended – and then cleaned up the mess. Now that’s good bedside manner. JOY RIDE Paul Walker has never chosen his roles wisely (except maybe once, when he played injured quarterback and washroom fornicator Lance Harbor in “Varsity Blues”), and “Joy Ride” is an almost 10-year-old testament to his permanent C-List status. The plot begins with Walker’s character, Lewis Thomas, pining for childhood friend Venna – which would have been half believable if he had the hots for anybody else besides bizzaro Helen Hunt lookalike Leelee Sobieski – who he agrees to pick up on his way home from college after she announces her recent breakup with her boyfriend. Road trip! Major bumps ensue, of course, the best of which come when big-rig-driving serial killer Rusty Nail orders Lewis and his brother, Fuller (Steve Zahn), to strip down and enter a busy Nebraska diner. Obediently, the boys – front bits covered by crossed hands – do as they’re told, exposing their plump, pale backsides to uptight and unsuspecting patrons. Bottoms up. JEEPERS CREEPERS 2 Remember when you were in high school, riding home from the big game with your basketball buddies, when all of a sudden the bus gets a flat, the team removes their shirts and lines up shoulder-to-shoulder to catch some rays on the roof? What, that never happened? It would have if you attended whatever podunk educational establishment these meatheads never made it back to. It goes without saying that you would have been eaten by The Creeper too, but not without first watching him tear the clothes off your friends and devour their body parts. Lacking the scare factor of the original – and the rose-tattooed torso of Justin Long, although he does make a cameo – this 2003 sequel gives back in homoerotic tension what it’s missing in terror. Like, for instance, that the team is called the Bannon Bantams and they chant about “fighting cocks.” Or that they pee together in an open cornfield while accusing each other of being queer. Or that they talk about sniffing jockstraps. And gay bars. And swinging dicks. Yep, it’s all in there. 31 davidatlanta

Dear Momma Mona, I thought about your column when I heard about Tyler Clementi on TV. You have been very passionate about this topic and it really hit home with Tyler’s suicide. Thank you for talking about gay issues and offering sound advice. Robert T. Dear Momma Mona, I have to say that I was not so much interested in reading about some of the write-ins about how difficult it was for them to come out because I did not relate. My coming out was pretty natural in my family, which was just me and my mom. But now with the media attention on that guy who committed suicide because he was filmed with another male really got to me. This is not a topic I had heard people talk out loud about until now. This IS serious stuff! Thanks for pulling this out of people so the rest of us can learn. I’ll pay closer attention to your column now.
Re p o n s e
Kyle M. Dear Robert T. and Kyle M., Thank YOU for writing in and sharing your thoughts because if there is one, there are many others who share the same thought. And yes, coming out is oftentimes a paramount transition especially when the hetero norms within the family and the immediate community are strong and not
36 davidatlanta davidatlanta
accepting of alternative norms. Coming out is a personal and private decision, just as is any other thing personal and private. And damn anyone who seeks to hurt or embarrass another just for the fun of it! Other issues this particular situation brings to light is bullying and privacy. With new technology, there is oftentimes a lag in etiquette, policy and procedure. Poor Tyler and many others who are the target of arrogant bullies have experienced and continue to experience what may seem like intolerable pain and harassment. I’m glad to see more visibility and negative labeling of these people who do not play nice. While my sharing is not about bullying or privacy issues, it is about new technology…….well sort of. Once upon a time,… when I was in a new relationship with a guy that wore contact lens (new technology then), he did not have his lens in while he was eating a bowl of cereal at my home. I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t have the wherewithal to point out that the cereal had those little squiggly worm-type things squirming around. I know. Horrible of me. But I did not want him to think poorly of me for having that sort of thing going on in my pantry! Besides, aren’t those things considered extra protein in some parts of the world? You’ll be glad to know that I began transferring any opened pantry packages into zipper-sealed baggies after that morning! The guy didn’t last but the usual 10-months anyway. What is it about 10-months?

La Nota Rosa
LA PRINCIPIANTE... by Luis Chiruco
Si aun eres virgen y estas a punto de iniciarte, o alguien te tiene entre ojos y en uno de estos dias, segun las miradas que te lanza, sabes que te hara suyo, o para cuando llegue la GRAN ocasion… ten presente estas recomendaciones, mas que consejos, que es posible que te sirvan. (Me dirijo a quienes vayan a actuar como PASIVOS, principalmente y a quienes no deseen ser violados, que eso ya es otra cosa. Tambien y especialmente, a los mas jovencitos y a los mas estrechos y a aquellos activos que deseen penetrar a primerizos o de culito muy nuevo, para que junto con gozarlos, hagan, permitan, que ellos tambien lo disfruten. -Lo primero que debes hacer es darte antes un buen baño, de mucha espuma, con sales relajantes y con un buen gel aromatizante. -No te enjuagues mucho y dejate secar por el aire ambiente, mas que con la toalla, asi tu piel conservara el aroma de la espuma.. -Nunca laves tu culo con jabones ni espumas, si estas en la bañera, que el agua te toque pero no lo refriegues. Para el culo, lo mejor es el agua pura y lo mas cercana a la temperatura ambiente. (No olvides de lavarlo siempre despues de la defecacion, asi no conservara bacterias que producen sudores malolientes y conservara su olor natural que a algunos amantes los pone a 1000). -Los pies debes tenerlos siempre limpios, hurgar bajo las uñas y refregar con esponja entre los dedos, un “patas al hombro”, con pies malolientes es una experiencia ingrata y totalmente “matapasiones”. -No te depiles el culo, salvo que tu amante te lo pida expresamente. -IMPORTANTE: no olvides defecar (cagar) antes. VAMOS AL HECHO… -Lo primero es estar relajados. Por lo mismo es mejor buscar un buen sitio donde estar tranquilos, con la privacidad necesaria y la tranquilidad de que nadie los oira ni menos entrara sorpresivamente cuando te tengan “enclavado”. -La hora tambien es importante. La mejor suele ser la noche. O la hora de la siesta que a muchos les exacerba la libido y el ambiente alrededor suele ser tranquilo y relajado. 44 davidatlanta
-Acaricia a tu amante. Ponlo no a mil sino a 1.000.000, porque si sufres, asi acabara mas pronto. -En el momento en que te vaya a penetrar, lubricale muy bien el pene. -Luego, te pones lube.. -No te pongas en ninguna otra posicion para la primera pene-tracion (nunca mejor dicho) que “de ladito”, de costado!!!, porque asi manejaras tu mismo la entrada. -Levanta un poco una pierna para que se te abra mejor el ojete. -NO OLVIDES USAR SIEMPRE FORRO, salvo que estes ABSOLUTAMENTE seguro de que ambos son virgenes. A partir de esa primera vez, SIEMPRE, debeis usarlos, mira que “nadie sabe…”, lo que el otro haga por fuera. -Tienes que instruir a tu ACTIVO penetrante, de modo que el dirija su nabo enhiesto y ojalo cabezon (porque los de mucha punta pero cuerpo mas grueso no te dejan nunca de doler), guiandolo con un dedo por delante, de modo que sea la punta del dedo la que penetre primero, como quien dice, “abriendo paso”. -Que mientras lo vaya haciendo no pare de moverse, atras-adelante, dentro-fuera… o sea, un mete-saca, lento, suave, con cada vez MAS fuerza, de modo que en cada arremetida, entre un poco mas. -Que no inicie los movimientos del coito sino hasta que ambos sientan que el glande llego hasta donde pudo entrar… o sea, hasta que sus testiculos (bolas, huevos, pelotas, etcetcetc.) bailen en tu entrepierna (uno de los placeres mas deliciosos dada la sensibilidad de esa zona en los hombres. -Si te esta doliendo mucho porque el instrumento de la primera pene-tracion es muy voluminoso (o sea, tiene una tremenda pija ,cosa mas rica!!!), entonces qudarse quietecitos un momento, hasta que la dilatacion sea suficiente, y eso vaya calmando el dolor. -Luego te pones panza abajo, sobre una almohada que te llegue hasta la entrepierna, de modo que puedas abrirlas mucho y que a el no le impida, la dichosa almohada, clavarte lo que te gusta mas… muy a fondo. -Una vez, hecho todo lo anterior, pueden coger como locos…got leche?

The Brent Star Report
What a HAPPY Pride! This year during PRIDE weekend when we greeted each other with “happy pride”, we meant it! Well, at least from the angle where I viewed it. Like at Piedmont Park where all the vendors and concerts and ‘carrying-ons’ were going on, the weather was oh so sweet with it’s crystal blue skies highlighted with citrusy sun beams shining on all us skittles as if we really could taste the rainbow. All that talk about white pride vs black pride that I covered a month ago doesn’t work with this one as I saw a TRUE mix of folks. “It looks like there’s literally one of everybody here this year”, said GiGi Monroe who flew home to celebrate with us AND who performed a flawless Dolly impersonation at the Starlight Cabaret btw. One of my ‘white’ friends told me “damn there are a lot of foreigners here this year’ which tickled me pink because I was just gazing out at the crowd of people myself trying to take a guess which group of people (be it race, gender, or label) was the ‘majority’ and it really wasn’t…except just ‘gay people’…HAPPY gay people…and I saw some nosey str8 folks too. It seemed that though it was less vendors, it was more people there than the Dogwood Festival. Speaking of vendors, I decided to indulge in a “fried snickers bar”. It was AMAZING! I wish I could get that anytime, especially when I have the munchies at night, but anyway that’s how I felt about this year’s pride. Just like the chocolate from the snickers bar, all the negative skepticism of this year’s pride being slow just melted away as I enjoyed all the tasty nuts. Yea, some felt there wasn’t enough advertisement and PRIDE just snuck up on us. I mean, usually you would see those bright rainbow flags lined along 10th street and Piedmont as if giving this city a big heads up for a huge fag explosion or something. I didn’t even see it advertised in the bars, didn’t hear any of the emcees announce it, even Facebook was full of crickets. So yea, I too was kind of worried that it was going to be tumbleweeds. But all that changed for me Thursday when I performed at Burkharts for Princess Charles’ weekly FASHIONISTAS. It was packed! We (the entertainers) were a bit surprised but child we performed our ass-es off for those pride ‘happy’ coins…you betta’ ask somebody. Then the next day, Joes on Juniper was stupid packed---especially on Saturday, I heard it was worse than hwy 285 up in there
(285 on a Friday!). Club owner Joel of club Amsterdam said he had 700 folks on Friday and 600 on Saturday (damn!!!). And a loyal worker, Tony, from Heretic gave me the scoop and said they had over 1200 people between Friday and Saturday. At this point I was like WHERE are these ppl coming from, it’s like extras from a movie or something that was waiting on their cue. And you should already know Blakes and Burkharts remained packed the whole weekend. Even the Jungle, with it’s fun CANDLYLAND theme, was packed despite it’s $20/more cover. But even with all this positive reinforcements, I still wasn’t so sure about the turnout of the parade because I heard NO announcement about THAT except when this magazine did the line up of events. Well, it was people everywhere! And I just want to take a second to THANK YOU ALL for screaming my name as I literally ‘sashayed’ in the parade. At first, it took me a minute, I thought yall were screaming for the float behind me because I’m thinking I know THAT many ppl don’t know me, but yea it wasn’t until the float behind me got held up at a red light was when i figured out I was getting love from the crowd. It was a good parade but for some reason there were a lot of church floats. I heard some say they wanted to see more floats from the bars. My thought on that is some of the bars owners probably wanted to sit this one out this year from being burnt over the years watching all their hard work get washed away in the rain. Damn, because this would have been THE year to do it. And of course the Starlight cabaret was PACKED as usual this year or atleast much bigger than last year. Everyone pulled together and did what we know to do best, have fun and being HAPPY! Until next week, don’t read the girls, instead read The Brent Star Report! Where to catch Brent Star: Tuesdays at SHOUT, Saturdays at Tijuana Garage, Thursdays and Sundays once a month at Burkharts an d everywhere else that pays!

You have got to consider everyone else’s feelings this week -- more than your own, anyway. That’s not a permanent situation by any means, but it could lead to a permanent friendship or two.
Jazz up your schedule with an impromptu party or some banter that comes from nowhere -- your coworkers, fellow students or family are sure to appreciate the break in their routines. That big brain of yours is throbbing with info -- and you need to start broadcasting! It’s a really good time for you to engage with that new hottie or some friend of a friend who seems interesting.
You should see if you can get your partner (or roommate or friend) to get off your back for a minute so you can really talk. It’s not easy, but you can navigate the issues with grace.
People are definitely on your side right now, so you may want to seize the opportunity to push your side of the argument a little further. You could also just revel in the good vibes and have a good time. You need to show off a little right now -- so break out of your routines and show your people you can be unpredictable! Your energy is just right for making life a little crazier for everyone involved.
You have an real eye for beauty lately that helps you in your love life, your career and any other aspect of your life that needs attention. See if you can get others to see things the way you do! Your unconscious mind is working overtime, but it’s causing all kinds of little blips in your perceptions. Don’t freak out -- it’s just a sign that you’ve got more going on than anyone realizes.
Take extra time this week to prepare for what’s coming up. You can see that it’s a big deal, but you can manage anything if you use your resources properly. Take a second look at an old problem. You need to jump ahead of the crowd in some way, though you may not feel fully supported yet. That’s okay -- you can push yourself a little harder, if need be. Things are looking up! Try to get together with someone from your past -- you never know when someone who used to be close wants to try again. Your great social energy guarantees good results if you make a move now. Your old baggage has to go -- so dump it somewhere! You need to pick up the pace and try to get your love life or career back on track, and that can only happen once you break those old chains.

Atlanta A-Z
by David C. Muller
EPISODE NINETEEN:
U is for
Uncut
Once upon a time Luke went to a palm reader in Gwinnett County. The palm reader told him, “You must move to Atlanta, Luke, for you will find love there.”
Luke met a new friend named ‘Vesuvius St. Rene’ at a Gay Pride event in Atlanta roughly two weeks earlier. Vesuvius St. Rene was a mysterious character that came up to Atlanta from somewhere deep down in the dark swampy bayous of Louisiana. Unaccustomed to the bright lights of a big city like Atlanta and, unlike Luke and Luke’s best friend Gregory, Vesuvius was unable to satisfy his appetite with alcohol and tacos. Vesuvius had to set out in secret after dark, long after the City of Atlanta had passed out for the night, in order to dine at his leisure. Decades earlier back in the late 1980s, Vesuvius St. Rene traveled to Atlanta to visit esteemed acquaintances in Cabbagetown. He remembered from that trip years ago a particular swath of Piedmont Park that had been a popular late-night cruising spot fashionable with local homosexuals in search of anonymous gay sex and so, long after midnight on Wednesday, Vesuvius wandered aimlessly into the grassy plains of Piedmont Park. “I should have better luck and skill than this!” Vesuvius St. Rene chastised himself, “Where am I going, wandering amongst the shrubbery in an urban center like this? I was born in Italy, for God’s sakes, but now I’m reduced to this?” Vesuvius wanted to kick his own shins, “Next thing you know, I’ll be feasting on live bovines out on the 54 davidatlanta
bloody dairy farm!” Carnal thoughts made Vesuvius St. Rene hungry for meat; how he would’ve given anything to suck on a big long, engorged meaty sausage filled with hot, juicy blood right then and there! Yet, in the moon-lit depths of Piedmont Park, there was not just a breeze but policeman; undercover cops; hot sexy uniformed men armed to the teeth with firearms and pepper spray and handcuffs. Vesuvius could smell the stench of law enforcement and pedestrian safety as he moved across the darkened expanses of the night green. Piedmont Park was well lit and he was horny, yet not horny enough to engage in an activity likely to offend the good citizen-souls of American Christendom. Vesuvius thus fled from the park, he winged his way out of the green center of Midtown and, on Thursday, he flew up to the Heretic; “Papi has no cover!” Havana Heat permeated Café Con Leche well underway; Vesuvius St. Rene loved ‘muchachos go-go y shooter boys calientes’ and the live bongos. Vesuvius was very fond of Latino men, especially native Spanish-speakers from Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Colombia, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Mexico, Chile, Belize, Paraguay, Uruguay and Peru. On Friday, Vesuvius positioned himself deep in
the dark, cozy confines of Chapparal on Buford Highway. He feasted his eyes on a young man dressed in tight black pants and a tight, white cotton little nothing of a T-shirt. Vesuvius spoke Spanish and, with a sparkling twinkle in his eyes, he approached the young Latino and, in his own Romance tongue, he seduced the unwitting boy; his was name Ungaro. Ungaro was nineteen years old, he hailed from Montevideo and, like Vesuvius St. Rene, Ungaro spoke Spanish, Portuguese and English. Ungaro was easy to seduce; he wanted an older man, a man just like Vesuvius, to top him. Ungaro was ready to submit and he invited Vesuvius back to his place. Ungaro drove a pick-up truck and he lived in Union City; where ever the hell that is; and, in the driveway of his mother’s house, he made out with Vesuvius. “Oh, oh, mi papi, mi papi!” Ungaro spoke in italics, he was sensuously mesmerized by the hypnotic eroticism of Vesuvius St. Rene and, with pleasure, Ungaro closed his eyes and rolled his head up to the edge of his neck. Like a comely virgin, Ungaro exposed the smooth scruff of his neck to Vesuvius. Vesuvius, in turn, felt the maddening tight sprint of lust spark not only in his loins but also in his gums; he felt the lust of passion and desire everywhere, in his head, in his hands and in his teeth. Rounded, soft edges and points became blunt and globular, pointy, hard and wet. Vesuvius wanted to taste Ungaro; he wanted to strip him naked and admire his genitalia. Indeed earlier in the drive down to Union City, Vesuvius had copped a feel and had unbuckled the tight black pants of Ungaro’s jeans. Vesuvius oogled the meaty girth of Ungaro’s uncut Latin manhood but the neck; that sinewy neck, that neck succulent and only millimeters away from his mouth here and now; in a suburban driveway south of Atlanta; that naked neck of Ungaro, lit by the shimmering moon above: that aroused Vesuvius, that’s what got him hard and that’s what made Vesuvius want to taste Ungaro. “Oh, oh papi. Si, si,” Ungaro cooed like an expectant teenager, “take me, I am yours!” Vesuvius turned the head of Ungaro due northwest and felt his fangs moisten with saliva. He opened his jaw and set in to take a bite… …And then his cell phone rang… Vesuvius St. Rene rolled his eyes as he went to check his phone. Vesuvius was surprised to see who dared to call him at this late hour of the night. He was shocked when he saw the number, and that’s really why he answered his phone: “Hello, Luke?” “Did I wake you?” Luke whispered his question, “Where are you?”

Bitch Session When you tell me you haven’t slept in three days-I hardly believe it’s because of work, especially when you can’t keep your eyes still for more than a quarter of a second. Can someone please inform the pride committee that they do not own the word PRIDE, ATLANTA, or PARADE. It is pronounced “government” not “gumment.” Just because you graduated from school in Alabama doesn’t mean you get to act uneducated. Multiple personalities means there is more of you to love.
Why are lesbians the worst tippers? Everyone else tips 18-20%; why are you ladies in the 1113% range? You should pause every four minutes in a conversation to check to see if anyone else has said a word. If not, shut the fuck up-BITCH!! If you are satisfied with being a second-class citizen without the same rights as your neighbor, then you are a sorry pathetic little bitch. Why do shady people always find a career as a “publicist” or “political consultant?” I guess some industries are a natural fit for smoothtalkers and money swindlers.
Gay marriage is the last thing you queens need to worry about. Try working on learning how to be monogamous first!
Open relationship or not, real love means not wanting to sleep with other people- much less actively doing it.
I’m all for dirty talk, but you have got issues. Also, for the record, no, my father and his friends did not teach me “how to suck good dick.”
Why do straight people always want to know who the “man” is and who the “woman” is in gay relationships? Can’t we both be men?
Should I tell my neighbor about all of the guys that visit his boyfriend at home he’s at work during the day? Our server tonight is in drag-yet another reason why I love Pride! Dear Pizza Man, would you please shut the FUCK UP!! Thanks! It’s really annoying when people go up to a bar and don’t know what they want to drink. It is also annoying when they order a few drinks and NOT have ANY form of payment ready. Reallydo you think they are going to give it to you for free? AND tip damn it! You are not even a customer AND I don’t even take this from customers!! I wonder if she knows she looks like a drag queen from the 80’s?!

Come on now if a bartender buys you a drink then TIP Bitch! It was going to cost you six dollars anyway!
Get your filthy hands off of me and my boyfriend, bitch. Your advances are indicative of your desperate need for validation. Take your issues and project them elsewhere. I never wrote that I wanted to just lie there and have the top do everything. I wrote that there are certain things a top should be doing to a bottom exclusively. If you are cruising Craigslist then you are trashy person. Go out and step into a bar-actually deal with people face to face instead of hiding behind a stolen photo of someone with six-pack abs and seven inches. You not fooling anybody!! How come the one time that I walk in on two guys having oral sex in my building’s laundry room, the two guys look like Dick Cheney and Peter Griffith?
