Shows nightly except Mondays through Jan. 2, additional matinees on weekends. OVO is a headlong rush into a colorful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement. The insects’ home is a world of biodiversity and beauty filled with noisy action and moments of quiet emotion. When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles of their lives. It’s love at first sight when a gawky, quirky insect arrives in this bustling community and a fabulous ladybug catches his eye – and the feeling is mutual. OVO is overflowing with contrasts. The hidden, secret world at our feet is revealed as tender and torrid, noisy and quiet, peaceful and chaotic. And as the sun rises on a bright new day the vibrant cycle of insect life begins anew.

bed, motionless, staring her in the face in complete disbelief. She quickly changed the subject and said, “You know, Kate, you should probably call your brother and sister more. They live so far away and---“ I got up and walked out of her bedroom and slammed the door behind me.
i
I’m not allowed? I can’t?
can remember the first time when I told my mom, who just so happens to be extremely religious and conservative, that I was interested in women. I was sitting on the edge of my mom’s bed in high school, and I said to her, “Mom, I think I like girls. Actually, I know I like girls. I hope that you--“ and before I could finish my sentence she said, “No, you don’t. That’s not allowed. You can’t.” I remember feeling so defeated. Stuck. Frozen. I couldn’t breathe. Think. Move. Speak. I just sat there on the edge of her
What I should have said then, but can say now is, “I am. I can.” I was so terrified of failing my mother that I pretended to be someone who I wasn’t for entirely too long. If I would have known how liberating being true to yourself is, I would have embraced my sexuality much sooner. My advice to those of you who haven’t come out, for whatever the reason, is free yourself. Embrace all that you have and all that you are. Be confident. Celebrate. You are radiant. Come out and let yourself shine.

gave me a box of paints one day when I was sitting at Outwrite Bookstore chillin’ on my computer. He randomly came up to me and asked if I wanted some paint. He said he would sell me the whole box for thirty bucks. I thought, ‘Hell yes’. I bought it. I started oil painting. It was terrible. I dove in, and then suddenly it all clicked.

Recently had the pleasure of meeting Aja Adams at my art exhibition Hindsight. I had the opportunity to see her work, and was very impressed. I met with her last week to discuss her process and to get to know her better. After spending a few hours chit-chatting about art, culture, and influences, I found a deeper appreciation for her work, and who she is as an artist. “My process is fluid. It just comes to me. I don’t have to search for it, or find it- it just comes to me. I paint what I feel, and let the colors express it. I feel like you could paint any object as long as there is feeling. I just recently started painting with oils, but I usually use acrylics. I paint layers,. on top of layers, on top of layers. This guy

I am self-taught. I went to Parson’s for a while, but dropped out. I am a painter, but I have been getting into sculpture. I have been working a lot with brass, bronze, and copper. Honestly growing up I had a month where I loved Warhol, and then I hated him. Now I think he is terrible; a horrible artist. If that mother fu**** lived in this day, he’d be just an ordinary man. I am incredibly influenced by Jacob Lawrence. I found Picasso and he blew my mind. Michael Angelo blew my mind. To me they are an all star team. Chuck close is tight. If you were gonna’ compare Picasso to a hip hop artist-- he would be Gucci Mane--- to produce like that--- and have a love for it. To eat, breathe, live, and shit that shit… Incredible. I started a new series. I honestly don’t know what its about. I had this weird dream--- all this weird shit has been happening. Lately I have been thinking about Christ and religion, and all that shit. I stopped. Then I started reading about perversions. I’m working
s on a whole new series with large scale, multimedia pieces based on perversions. In my paintings I focus on eyes, mouth-- the face. The first thing you see when you talk to someone is their eyes, then their mouth. My mom always told that you can tell how much someone respects you by the way that they look at you in the eyes—I try to capture that.” If you are interested in Aja Adam’s, and her work contact her via email: Ajaadams.paints@gmail.com If you are a local lesbian artist, and would like to be featured in The Vagitarian, please email me three images and your contact information to Stover@davidatlanta.com.
“I feel like if you are a true artist-- they cut you open--- you bleed art---the minute you start copying yourself, you are failing yourself. Nobody likes to see the same shit.”

h, ‘tis the season to be merry. The holiday season is a time when we should be thankful, prone to over-eating, binge drinking, bad gift-giving, and making inappropriate comments at company parties and family functions. If you’re like me, you may have already spent Thanksgiving eating alone in the living room watching TV because you’re single, have no kids, and thus do not deserve a seat at the already full adult table (but that’s alright, cause I’m a lesbian and I love watching college football way more than hearing people ask me about work, if I’ve been car-jacked in Atlanta yet, and where is “my friend” that I brought to Thanksgiving last year). When someone asks “what are you doing for the holidays”, I know that the next month will consist of the following: 1. The “Annual Toy Party” at The Mart on December 5, benefitting a wonderful organization called “For the Kid in All of Us”. Bring a toy of $20 value or higher and, in return, socialize with a lot of fabulous gay men sporting glowing faces fresh from a chemical peel or facial (the salon kind), a lot of lesbians in vests (myself likely to be included), and wonderful volunteers (I once made really good friends with a waiter who looked exactly like Wesley Snipes; I called him “Blade” all night).
38 davidatlanta
2. “Bedlam Presents: Wreck the Halls”: at MSR on December 10. Not going to a Bedlam party is like getting an invitation to Oprah’s “Favorite Things” episode and saying, “no thanks, I really need to deep condition my hair.” This fabulous holiday party will turn MSR into a Winter Wonderland complete with a sexy Mr. and Mrs. Claus, as well as elves whose large shoes may very well be indicative of the size of other organs (get your mind out of the gutter, elves often have large ears and disproportionate noses). 3. My annual trip to Key West immediately before Christmas. My love for The Keys at Christmas is evidenced by the fact that after my last trip to Key West, I almost died from Dengue Fever. If you have never had a chance to enjoy Key West, I highly recommend a holiday trip when rates are low, the weather is still 80 degrees a day, and the gay hospitality is some of the best I’ve ever experienced. 4. Last but not least, get my mom tipsy on Christmas Eve with a sneaky drink such as a mimosas, pink panty pull-downs, or hot chocolate with Bailey’s to the point that she is dancing with my dog and telling him to “get low, low, low” like T-Pain himself. Keeping her buzzed helps me avoid her awkward comments about my lesbian haircut and her attempts to get me to pick out “professional women’s wear” from her Chadwick’s catalog. So take advantage of the bounty of philanthropic, debaucherous, and family-friendly holiday events in Atlanta, hug your loved ones, and if you’re family is as dysfunctional as mine, watch “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”, it’s the best holiday movie ever.

La Nota Rosa
AL SOBRINO SE LE ARRIMA... parte 3 by Luis Chiruco
T
iempo después, un día que estaban en casa viendo una película salió a colación el tema del divorcio. Siempre que Carlos trataba de ahondar en el asunto para conocer las razones del fracaso, Jesus cambiaba el tema y ágilmente evadía los cuestionamientos. Ese día fue diferente, habían estado tomando desde temprano y Carlos seguía interrogándolo dispuesto a conocer la verdad – ¿Por qué no quieres contarme que fue lo que pasó? – A Jesus le daba terror de decir la verdad y ahuyentar al muchacho, pero no quería engañarlo con falsas historias y quedarse callado ya no era una opción así que sacó fuerzas y se decidió a contarle la historia… – ósea, ¿tu esposa te dejo porque eres maricón? – Pregunto Carlos apenas Jesus terminó la historia con lujo de detalles – en palabras simples se podría decir que si – ¿y porque no me habías dicho eso antes? – bueno… no se… porque me da algo de pena – tranquilo tío que eso es más normal de lo que te imaginas, no tienes por qué sentirte menos, nada más te pido que no te vayas a enamorar de mi – dijo Carlos en tono de broma para suavizar lo incomodo de la situación. Jesus mintiéndole le dijo que él no era su tipo de hombre y que no le atraía sexualmente, solo para calmar al chico, que se sintió más aliviado. A partir de ese día las cosas cambiaron para bien, Carlosi bromeaba más a menudo con Jesus cada vez que veían un chico guapo en la tele o en la calle. Jesus por el otro lado también se sentía más relajado interactuando con Carlos y esto ayudaba a la relación. Curiosamente también aumento el contacto físico entre ambos, Carlos era por naturaleza un chico muy confianzudo que gustaba de jugarle bromas a la gente, y con Jesus no era la excepción, a veces por lo pesado de las bromas y la devolución de estas por parte de Carlos, el pasaba a lo físico haciéndole llaves tipo UFC que terminaban sometiendo al pobre Jesus. A pesar de que muchas veces podía pasarse de concho, Jesus amaba estos juegos y muchas veces los propiciaba solo por el contacto físico, amaba sentir encima suyo todo el peso de Carlos aplastándolo y de vez en cuando también lograba sentir el paquete rozando sus piernas o espalda. Carlos en su inocencia no hacía esto a propósito pero si amaba tener a alguien con quien jugar. A los 3 meses de haber llegado y pasado el tiempo acordado para su estancia, Jesus le pidió a Carlos que se quedara viviendo ahí el tiempo que ocupara. El muchacho por supuesto aceptó ya que se sentía de maravilla con las cosas como estaban. Por esa época también, tuvo su primera pelea seria, era por el título nacional de peso crucero y se sentía confiado de que 44 davidatlanta
iba a lograrlo. Jesus estaba en las gradas viendo la pelea, llego apenas a tiempo debido a que el viaje era un poco largo y ese día tenía que trabajar. La pelea duró apenas 5 rounds, y el ganador por supuesto fue Carlos que ganó por la vía del knock-out, él estaba celebrando con todo el equipo en el centro del cuadrilátero cuando divisó en las últimas filas a su tío y de inmediato le hizo un gesto para que se acercara y se uniera a la celebración. Jesus por supuesto hizo caso y apenas estuvieron de frente Carlos lo abrazó con todas sus fuerzas y llorando de felicidad le agradecía toda la ayuda dada. Jesus estaba súper contento de vivir esos momentos con su amado sobrino, sabía del cariño que este le tenía y que obviamente el devolvía con creces. Ya cuando pasó la algarabía de la victoria, Carlos invitó a su tío a la celebración y le pidió que no se separara de él. Todos los miembros del equipo se fueron con Carlos hacia los vestidores, incluido Jesus. Ahí dentro la alegría continuaba, todo el mundo se abrazaba y gritaba por la victoria conseguida, en total eran como 10 chavales, entre managers, preparadores físicos, masajistas, patrocinadores, otros boxeadores del gimnasio y Jesus. Este último se quedó hablando con los miembros del equipo por unos minutos y cuando se dio cuenta Carlos estaba como Dios lo trajo al mundo, debajo del chorro de agua, en frente de todos los presentes duchándose sin ninguna vergüenza con una sonrisa de felicidad que no se la quitaba nadie. Jesus no pudo apartar la vista de aquella cosa tan bella, tuvo que poner su suéter sobre su regazo para ocultar la gran erección que le había causado la escena. Carlos bromeaba con todos mientras su pene se balanceaba de un lado al otro, enfrente de todo el mundo. Era la primera vez que Jesus lo veía desnudo y esto lo había hecho desearlo más. Tenía entre sus piernas una hermosa v.. de 8 cm. encogida al máximo por lo frío del agua, de un color moreno oscuro, más que el de su piel normal, cubierta por un prepucio que ocultaba al glande en su totalidad, la v.. en sí sobresalía por su grosor, a pesar de que en ese momento la andaba encogida, se podía notar que naturalmente era súper gruesa, con los vellos púbicos recortados y los huevos rasurados. Todo un manjar de v.. que Jesus deseaba tener en sus labios algún día...continuara.

Horoscopes
ARIES A phone call brings a change of plans -but it’s almost certainly to your liking. Make sure that you keep everyone else in the loop, because they need to keep abreast of your evolving daily schedule.
SAGITTARIUS You’re feeling the urge to get busy right now, and you’re not in the mood to just sit around talking. See if you can get your people to line up behind your plans, or maybe you can go along with theirs.
TAURUS Blow off that big decision you’re facing, especially if it has anything to do with your finances. Your head just isn’t in the game right now, and that could mean that you shackle yourself in a way that doesn’t work.
CAPRICORN Your brainy energy is just right for tackling big issues, but that doesn’t mean that you’re going to handle things like a robot. You just need to make sure that you’re taking the time to think it all through.
GEMINI Your big brain is making life ten times more interesting this week. It’s a really good time for you to tackle big intellectual challenges, no matter how many times they’ve defeated you in the past.
AQUARIUS You feel more connected than ever to someone special -- it could be a longterm partner, or someone entirely new -- and you should feel closer to them intellectually by the end of the week.
CANCER You are having a hard time coping with your people lately-- they are just too irritating! You may need to shut your door, turn off your phone or do whatever else it takes to drown them out for a bit.
PISCES Relax and let things go a little this week -- you need to make sure that you’re not feeling tied down! Your energy is about right for big-picture issues that might still morph quite a bit before coming to fruition.
LEO You need to get out there and socialize some more -- even if you’ve already got a full social calendar! It’s a good time for you to make sure that you’re reaching out to folks who don’t get to see you often. VIRGO You need to deal with your budget issues in a forthright way -- like by deleting that spreadsheet, maybe! Spend as much as you think is needed this week and worry about the consequences later. LIBRA You’ve got two competing viewpoints wrestling inside you, and you might have to ditch one -- if you can’t merge them, that is. Your good energy means you can make the most of an odd situation.
SCORPIO You need to be careful at work or in any business or legal dealings this week -it’s not that you’re not capable of making good decisions, but that your rivals are capable of doing almost anything to spite you!

EPISODE TWENTY-SIX:
“A is for Arrogance!” 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.”
O
nce 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.” Two weeks ago, Luke met Zack at a Thanksgiving dinner hosted by Dick Zucker. That same night, Luke took Zack out to Midtown where they drank, danced and drank some more. Zack went home with Luke that night and, as luck would have it, he spent the next night and the night after that; in fact the entire weekend after Thanksgiving they spent each night naked over at Luke’s place where they engaged in hours upon hours of sexual activity that aroused in both of them a heightened sense of coital awareness. Last week, they went to a Chanukah party and, this week, Luke was nervous and overburdened with self doubt yet empowered by raging, unspent hormones and bursts of testosterone. This sometimes forced Luke to enter into lapses of judgment. One such judgment was that he and Zack, his new found love, should actually go out in public together again. Finally, after nearly three/four/five/six days of lazing around in the buff, Luke took Zack’s arm in his and together they ventured over to Joe’s on Juniper to have lunch at three o’clock on a Thursday afternoon. The waiter; let’s call him ‘Joe’; led Luke and Zack to a table situated beneath a rainbow banner on the patio. Luke thanked Joe for the hospitality, but Zack, on the other hand, said, “Yo princess! Have our server bring me a Scotch, straight up in a tall glass over ice. You can manage that?” Luke was taken aback; he was less than charmed.
60 davidatlanta
‘Joe’, the nameless waiter, was also less than thrilled, he said, “Uh… sure.” Luke shook his head as he took his seat, “What the hell was that all about, Zack?” “What was what about?” “You were really rude to that guy.” “Who? You mean the waiter? Please,” Zack scoffed, “I’ll leave him a big tip.” “Hi there,” another waiter, this waiter also named ‘Joe’, came up to their table and introduced herself, “Can I get you something to drink?” Luke smiled, “I’ll have a Long Island iced tea, please.” The waiter made a note on a pad, she smiled at Zack, “And for you sir.” “Yeah,” Zack condescended, “about four seconds ago I ordered a Scotch, straight up in a tall glass over ice. Your boy over there,” Zack patronizingly pointed a finger over towards the entrance, “he sure is taking forever. What the hell is wrong with him? Is he slow?” The waiter glared down at Zack with a terse smile, “I’ll get right on that for you, sir.” “Yes,” Zack rolled his eyes, “that would be a good thing.” The waiter walked away from the table. Luke said to Zack, “Dude, what is your problem?” “My problem?” Zack made a face of shock and surprise, “What’s my problem? I ordered some Scotch but the help here is slow.” Zack shook his head, “Something is wrong with the waiter.”
“Nothing is wrong with the waiter.” Luke said, “The waiter is just fine. You’re the one who’s being an asshole.” Luke remembered where he met Zack; Luke had met Zack at Dick Zucker’s ostentatious house in Dunwoody during Thanksgiving. Dick Zucker, Zack’s father, was fantastically wealthy; old Dunwoody money. Luke said, “You were born and raised with a silver spoon in your mouth, weren’t you?” “Did you know that it was Chanukah all last week?” “Oh God!” Luke rolled his eyes in recollection of last week’s Chanukah party with Rabbi Josh Lesser and Harel Skaat. Luke said, “Please, Zack. Don’t bring that up again. Are you not even ashamed of your behavior at that party last week?” “Last week my behavior was just fine.” Zack dodged Luke’s question and said, “It’s this week you should be concerned about. Last week, though, was Chanukah and you didn’t even get me a present!” “A present?” Luke scoffed, “Why would I get you’re a present? I’m not even Jewish.” Zack said, “Maybe I should go home to Daddy like a good little boy to light his long hot candles.” The waiter arrived at the table. ‘Joe’ placed a tall glass of Scotch with ice in front of Zack and said, “Here you are, sir.” “Finally,” Zack snatched the glass off the table, “took you long enough.” The waiter scurried away in shame as Luke rose to his defense, “What the hell is wrong with you, Zack?” “Nothing is wrong with me.” Zack said, “I’m as normal as they come. It’s all these other people that are just stupid.” Luke was shocked at this sudden change in behavior. Although Luke had spent five/six/seven days in bed with Zack, and although he had seen Zack naked in all his erect glory, he had never ever seen this blatant side of arrogance. Luke did not like attitude and, what’s more, he did not care for arrogance, either. Zack Zucker, son of Dick Zucker of Dunwoody, was brimming abundantly with both. “You know, Zack, you remind me of a bully I once had in junior high when I was growing up.” Zack downed his drink and said, “You were bullied in high school by a guy like me?” “I was bullied by a girl, actually.” Luke said, “My high school bully was a thin blond girl who was mean and rude to everybody, kind of like you.” “Yeah?” Zack asked, “What was her name? “Betty.” Luke said, “Her name was Betty Bixley…” NEXT EPISODE: “B is for Bully”

Got Leche? Going Strong, Celebrating Birthday
T
ired of the same old Friday night drink specials, drag shows, and dance floors? If so, you may want to put on your dancing shoes and sexiest outfit, fix your hair, maybe even put on a little makeup and venture a little ways down Buford Highway to check out what’s happening at Chaparral. Come on, if you’ve never been but heard about it, you know you’re curious. On Friday night, Dec. 10, DJ Luis Chiruco and the boys will be celebrating the 2nd anniversary of Got Leche?, a dance party geared specifically toward gay Latinos but welcomes everyone that has been going strong and growing at Chaparral, 2715 Buford Highway. It doesn’t take long for the party to start with DJ Chiruco spinning the best in Top 40, House, Techno, Merengue, Bachata, Cumbia, and more. There are lots of hot guys and girls, great drinks, and a party atmosphere like no other in Atlanta. For two years, Chaparral has been the place to be on Friday nights to dance the night away with hot Latin boys. With foam parties, CD releases, and themes like “underwear beach party” and the newest and hottest Latin dance beats, it’s no surprise. With DJ Chiruco leading the way, Got Leche? also incorporates local and national Latino performers into the party, such as rising superstars in the Latin community, Cristina, Fedro and Fey. DJ Chiruco said there are also a variety of contests and promotions throughout the year with cash prizes. One of the the biggest contests, returning Feb. 18, 2011, is Nuestra Belleza Gay Latina 2011, an extremely popular gay Latina drag queen pageant. “We’re going to keep on with the same format in 2011 but try to keep getting bigger entertainment and better prizes for the contests,” said DJ Chiruco.

DJ Chiruco is also a party promoter, photographer, and weekly columnist in David Magazine.
Admission to Got Leche? is free before 11:00 p.m. every Friday night. For more information about Chaparral, go to www.chaparralatlanta.com.

Pornstar AMERICA’S NEXT TOP PORN STAR In a few weeks, Idol will continue its search for America’s next pop star. Meanwhile, somewhere in New York, Tim Gunn is pressing his suit for another season of America’s Next Top Model while in Los Angeles, RuPaul is fluffing her feather boa in preparation of the third search for America’s next drag diva. So why is no one looking for what many gay men consider of at least equal importance - America’s Next Top Porn Star? Well, we did, and here are the leading contenders. From 1 to 10, how would you rate yourself as a porn star? A ten!
Sometimes. RandyBlue has a huge following. I’ve had guys start stuttering when they meet me.
Finally, a porn star with confidence! I have the enthusiasm and balls to go at any scene full on. And I got the looks to back it up.
Do you like when guys recognize you? Of course I do. It’s a little bit of celebrity in my life. Its funny when I think these guys coming up to me have seen every inch of my body.
Nicco Sky
What makes you stand out from the rest of the boys in porn? Most people would never guess I would have sex on film. I’m kinda the sexy, cute, shy guy in public, but when the camera turns on, I’m a full out, bonerfied sex star. Did you always know you wanted to be a porn star? I wanted to be a porn star since I started watching porn as a teenager. What attracted me was the idea of these gorgeous men being sexual icons. I would fall in love with them and I always told myself when I grew up I wanted to be just like them. That’s why I love filming with RandyBlue. They have the hottest guys. Is the money good?
Yes, it is.
Do gay guys treat you like a rock star?
Would you date a fan? I’m not really opposed to it. Unless all they want to talk about is my film work. That could be a problem. Do you prefer to shoot scenes on top or on bottom? I bottom more in scenes because I can do it with a boner and a smile on my face and not everyone can do that. But I also enjoy being a top. I am a guy that loves pounding every now and then. Is it true you get paid more to be on bottom? That is true. Isn’t it less work to be on bottom? Sometimes I spend ten minutes squatting up and down in a scene and when I’m done I feel like my legs are about to fall off. Bottoming can be hard work. Does a director shouting out moves take the fun out of the deed? It can take a little away from the fluidity of the scene but the director is seeing the scene from the viewer’s point of view so it makes sense for them to give input. What do you do to keep it up? I rub it a little bit and then I play with my nipples. It works every time. Are there fluffers on set? No, usually the guys in the film fluff each other. If a co-star does something you don’t like, or touches you in a place you’d rather they not touch, can you yell cut? I could, but I wouldn’t. Nobody likes a whiny porn star on set. What’s one thing you’ll never do on film? Double penetration. Is having ‘sex like a porn star’ as great as it sounds? It’s even better!

Bitch Session Look. Listen. “Bitch Session” is over, Damages is on
Enough of the pics of drag queens in seen@ we see them at EVERY bar and in David, let’s see the rest if the people that go out! You can use 14pt font but not print my bitch?!?!? WTF
Hey,closet case! Maybe if your fat ass would come out you’d stop being such a dick to the rest of the world and realize the real problem lies in yourself.
Sex makes him cum, but Love makes him stay... If you don’t think men over 50 should spike their hair, just wait until you see my Justin Bieber haircut: I’m over 60!
LOVE shoulda brought your ass home last night! You want to still be friends? You fire me after 7 years and on the week before thanksgiving and you want to be friends....lady please.
I don’t care if you are a Radical Fairy, but your Just the sight of you kills radical ego makes up for me down! Dont make me your radically small dick swirl you out and burn and equally small mind! you with a hot rail pipe! Doesn’t anyone just date anymore where sex is NOT part ofthe equation?
ATTENTION BAR GOERS: if you plan to hit on a bartender, ask for their number and get it, be sure to leave a bigger tip then .75 cents. Just a FYI Did all the bitches go out of town for thanksgiving? so few complaints this week.
i look back and realize we were just bar buddies. Actions spoke a lot louder than your words did. So thank you for revealing your true face. Sleeping with a married man and being friends with his wife should have told me plenty about your real character. I thank God for all the real friends that I spend time with everyday now.
My budget is so tight for Christmas, my wallet just got it’s own virginity back! My junk is not a candy can, quit the lickin’ and get back to work!
Gotta Bitch?
? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitc ch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch? ? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitc ch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch? Bitch?
