FENUXE 3.22.2012 Finally, the 2012 Best Bachelors of Atlanta Issue has arrived! Believe me, not without weeks of anticipation. Hands down, the run-down of bachelors this year is stunning! Thank you to Atlanta’s community for nominating and voting this year’s winners.
Tyler Calkins
The nominations for this year’s bachelors started January 1st and were open through Valentine’s Day, February 14. During this time we received hundreds of nominations. Some nominations were given to us by friends and family of the potentials, some men nominated themselves.
Associate writer: LIfestyle & culture
After the nomination period, we had the grueling task of contacting each nominee to see if they could commit to being a 2012 Best Bachelor and available for the party on March 31st. Once everyone was finalized, we opened the voting period and were overwhelmed with the response. We received tens of thousands of votes, so much so that it shut down our website’s server three times! And while each and every bachelor in our eyes has their own unique traits which make them the best, only ten men can be chosen. The top ten bachelors with the most votes were confidentially and secretly interviewed, photographed and primed for their big debut in this issue. And the best part? Getting to meet these studs in person at our Bachelor Auction on March 31st at Raw Space in Castleberry Hill (Near No Mas Cantina). Thank you to everyone who nominated, voted, and participated! Can’t wait to see you on the 31st!

HERE’S A ROUND-UP OF THE HOTTEST GAY NEWS ITEMS. FOR REPORTING ON LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LGBT HAPPENINGS, VISIT WWW.FENUXE.COM SEVERAL TIMES A DAY YOUTHPRIDE’S FORK IN THE ROAD
Facing mounting debt and a likely eviction, YouthPride has arrived at a crossroad. Emotions were high at a March 6 town hall meeting devoted to assessing the agency’s viability, with YouthPride Executive Director Terence McPhaul vowing, “My intent is to make sure that YouthPride stays in existence.” However members of the task force looking into YouthPride’s finances discovered at least $80,000 in debt.. “The consensus of our community task force is that the current corporation of YouthPride ... is not viable in its current state,” said Charlie Stadtlander, a task force leader who hopes to form a new LGBT youth organization.
PORN PRIDE
It’s been a milestone month for a couple of gay porn alumni. Dakota Cochrane traded a career in gay porn for another type of man-on-man action: as a mixed martial arts fighter on FX’s “The Ultimate Fighter.” Unfortunately, Cochrane lost his opening match on March 9 and has been booted from the reality show. A gay porn past almost cost Shawn Loftis his job as a schoolteacher when a Miami public school fired him. But on March 9, the Miami-Dade school board reinstated Loftis, saying his former career violated no laws.
PROVERBS 13:20 – ‘THE COMPANION OF FOOLS’
The online video Kony2012 has became a philanthropic pop sensation, but the filmmakers are being scrutinized for playing footsie with some hardcore anti-gay donors. Terry and Barbara Caster donated more than half a million dollars to the passage of California’s Prop 8, and have been major benefactors of Invisible Children – the charity behind Kony2012 – since its founding. Invisible Children also received $764,000 from the National Christian Foundation, an Alpharettabased agency that contributes heavily to anti-gay powerhouses such as Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council.
SUPER, THANKS FOR ASKING!
Super PACS are this year’s hottest trend in politics, a must-have accessory for any presidential campaign. A newly created LGBT committee known as Pride PAC is hoping to bundle gay dollars to help the re-election campaign of President Barack Obama. Pride PAC’s strategy is to collect small contributions via Facebook and other social networking sites, with a goal of raising $1 million to assist Obama’s campaign.
GUILTY VERDICT IN WEBCAB SPYING CASE
A New Jersey jury took three days of deliberation to convict former Rutgers student Dharun Ravi of a hate crime for spying on his gay roommate, Tyler Clementi, during a sexual encounter. Clementi killed himself days after the incident The jury deemed that Clementi “reasonably believed that he was selected to be the target of the offense because of sexual orientation .” 14 : MARCH 22, 2012

hen it comes to Atlanta’s most eligible studs, you sure know what you want. Once again we present to you some of the city’s hottest hunks for Fenuxe’s Second Annual Best Bachelors of Atlanta.
As nominations rolled in, you offered sincere reasons why your nominees should make the cut. But, in the end, only ten men could be named as bachelors. Thousands of votes poured in during the final round of voting, and it was certainly a tight race. Now comes the time to unveil your top bachelors. With good looks and plenty of charisma, these men no doubt will someday make a fella genuinely happy. In an effort to know them better, we asked them a variety of questions, including turn-ons and relationship deal-breakers. Although their interests and personalities vary, they do share a few commonalities. Many of them just can’t get enough of Adele, and nearly all of them want a man who can make them laugh. Several said loyalty and a value of family were essential traits in a potential boyfriend. Needless to say our array of bachelors should pique just about anyone’s interest. Find out more about them on the following pages and then meet them up close and personal...

What does this
When he’s not gliding through water, Ari is tearing up the dance floor. He admits just about any mix by DJ Paulo will get him moving. A night of dancing wouldn’t be complete without his preferred cocktail of an extra dry Ketel One Martini with bleu cheese stuffed olives.
Bachelor Bit Favorite Movie: Donnie Darko
If you plan to win over this adorable Boca Raton transplant, dinner at Fogo de Chão or Alon’s Bakery might butter him up. Or, you could tempt him with a slice of pumpkin pie—his guilty pleasure. But whatever you do, avoid his pet peeve of bad grammar and definitely don’t mention you live with your mother. The latter is a relationship deal-breaker. However, Ari might bend the rules if you’re anything like his celebrity crush, Tom Hardy.

taking him outside his comfort zone. Cooking a meal together would certainly spice things up. The Michigan native admits he’s looking for a man who could bring out his more adventurous side. Also, a man who’s attractive and doesn’t realize it is a big turn on. So what turns him off? He’s not a fan of anyone who’s irresponsible or says they’re “just being honest” when they’re really just being mean. As a self-proclaimed “airline junkie,” Brad’s guilty pleasure is the pre-check TSA line at the HartsfieldJackson Airport. When it comes to his dream vacation, Brad wants another opportunity to visit Brazil.
Bachelor Bit Favorite Movie: Beautiful Thing
After a break from all his travels, Brad may enjoy an “epic late afternoon house party” at his place in Grant Park or a bubbly Raz and Sprite. Or, a simple night watching “Game of Thrones,” “Mad Men” and “Downton Abbey” might be on the agenda.

If you want to impress this family-oriented bachelor, here are a few tips. His favorite movies are “Devil Wears Prada” and “Love Actually,” and he finds baked goods—especially chocolate chip cookies— hard to resist. A glass of Captain Morgan and Diet Coke or chocolate milk will also keep him happy. Just don’t be lazy or take up more than one lane when parking as you’ll trigger his pet peeves.
Bachelor Bit Can’t-miss TV: Modern Family
When it comes to his interests, James enjoys the gym and playing softball for the Atlanta Titans. The male cast members of “True Blood” also rank high on his celebrity crush list.

A nice dinner and good conversation will suffice. And that perfect guy will be confident, love to laugh and not take life too seriously.

Joe
CANTONA 38, Property management for university housing
Although he might spend an evening on the sofa watching “Drop Dead Gorgeous” or “Friends,” Joe Cantona most often can be found outdoors. “A walk in the park, playing Frisbee, camping, going for a bike ride and throwing a ball around rise to the top of my list,” the Illinois native says. Fiercely dedicated to his friends and family, Joe likes a man who shares his devotion to loved ones. His ideal companion also would be active, educated and would want to be an individual as well as a couple. A nice grill and a love for animals and traveling wouldn’t hurt either.
Bachelor Bit Guilty Pleasure: Fudge covered mint Oreo cookies
If you encounter the handsome Midtown bachelor at his favorite spot, Joe’s on Juniper, buy him a vodka with cranberry and lime and strike up a humorous conversation while Adele (his fav) plays in the background. Just don’t blow it by smacking on gum with an open mouth or bragging about all your connections, which happen to be his pet peeves.

As the owner of an interior design firm and a Bravo reality TV personality, Kerry wants a man who is equally passionate about his own career and who will make him forget about all his worries at the end of a long day. When he does find down time, the South Carolina native enjoys “Atlanta’s best hamburger” at Bocado near his West Midtown home or catching up on “The Rachel Zoe Project.” He’s also excited to see the upcoming 3D release of his all-time favorite movie, “Titanic.” And if the mood strikes, he might indulge in his guilty pleasure of Moose Tracks ice cream.

As for character, Terry prefers a man who is honest, loyal and has a great sense of humor—all traits possessed by Terry himself. In his spare time, Terry flips between his favorite shows—“The Voice” and “Once Upon A Time”—and hangs out with his Rat Terrier mix, Leah. When he’s feeling physical he enjoys a healthy game of kickball, while his intellectual side requires a mystery thriller by James Patterson. If he’s up for something naughty, a slice of cheesecake does the trick.

love of his life—an English Bulldog named Tank. When the Marietta native isn’t walking through Piedmont Park with Tank, he’s trying new restaurants, traveling, playing sports and patio hopping on what he calls “Sunday Funday.” This Midtown beau considers himself a driven person who understands the value in working hard but living life to the fullest. “I am definitely the type of person who sees the glass as half full and doesn’t want to waste time waiting for the rest to be filled,” he said. When it comes to enjoying himself, Wells can’t resist his favorite show, “Revenge,” or his guilty pleasure of movie theater popcorn mixed with Reese’s Pieces.

If you intend to woo this smoldering hunk, you could whisk him away to Barcelona or simply take him to the beach for an oceanfront dinner followed by cocktails and country music, especially anything by Sugarland. Yhon possesses an outgoing personality and he’s loyal to his friends, so anyone who is controlling and jealous should look for love elsewhere. Smokers and lazy guys won’t have much luck either.
Bachelor Bit Celebrity Crush: Hugh Bonneville
As an athletic fella, Yhon works up a sweat playing for the Hotlanta Soccer Association and the Atlanta Menace softball team. When he’s taking it easy, Yhon chills out in his Midtown home watching his must-see show “Downton Abbey” while cuddled up to his Rat Terrier, Toby. He might even order Chinese, his guilty pleasure, and drink an ice-cold Bud Light.

CRIB CHATTER Making Home Ownership A Zipity Duda day!
Zipping out spin class, I overheard some guys lamenting that “agents don’t follow up”; hmmm...just too good a topic I thought for this column! The National Association of REALTORS reports the top complaint of consumers is that agents don’t respond to inquiries. Now I gotta say... some of my peers in the business, a few buyers & sellers (and even moi on an occasion or two, ok three or four when I’m in a hurry) forget the following basic communication skills: speak clearly & slowly (we are in the South!), e-nun-ciate, state which mortgage and buyer down payment assistance program is being used, a full name and telephone number for the contact, the address of the home, and list price. This gives us REALTORs enough information to go on so that the inquiry goes to the top of the return list! How can I make sure my credit score remains high enough for financing? Know your credit score before contacting a lender for a loan prequalification so you’ll have a chance to improve it before-hand. If your score is close to 640, my preferred lender runs a software program targeting specific areas that can raise it often in less than four weeks! Here are Zipity Duda’s tips: 1) DON’T APPLY for new credit of any kind! Each time you do, your score takes a ding. 2) DON’T CLOSE credit card accounts! That sends a red
flag to underwriting. 3) DON’T MAX OUT or charge over 50% of the available balance on existing credit cards! That can be perceived by a lender as a lack of ability to manage spending. 4) DON’T CONSOLIDATE DEBT to one or two cards! 5) DON’T CHANGE or QUIT your current job! Stable employment is critical to a lender. 6) DON’T make any CASH DEPOSITS/WITHDRAWALS into your checking/savings account! 7) DON’T make any large purchases (boat, car, etc.)! 8) DO STAY CURRENT on existing accounts! Remember, the lender will pull credit and confirm employment the day of closing. Is a short sale for me? Beware the short sale, it’s often a misnomer for head- ache! Know whether it is ‘approved’ or ‘unapproved’; there is a big difference. For buyers who need to close in 90 days or less, approved short sales might be an option since the seller’s lender has already done their due diligence, negotiated a previous offer that failed to close and therefore is a bit more motivated. An unapproved short sale can take a long, long, long time so this option is best for those who have plenty of time on their hands. “It is critical for sellers to seek legal council when considering the short sale route since the financial ramifications of a short sale can be different than doing a deed in lieu of foreclosure or filing bankrupt- cy and including the property” stated Amee Davis, closing attorney. Zipity Duda has a team in place to manage the process easily for you with the least amount of headache and a pricing strategy designed to bring an offer in the first 14 days!

A LOT CAN BE LEARNED ABOUT A SINGLE MAN IF YOU SEARCH HIS CRIB. HERE ARE A FEW OF THE TELL-TALE SIGNS YOU MOST CERTAINLY MUST ALWAYS LOOK FOR: EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF GARBAGE BAGS He’s a serial killer and is about to go “Dexter” on your ass. You’ll end up at the bottom of Lake Lanier if you don’t get out now. Run, girl, run! NO HEADBOARD This could mean one of two things. Either he’s too rough in bed and can’t keep buying bedroom furniture or he’s always under someone else’s covers. This is a case of bruises versus a rash. Proceed with caution. CURTAIN-LESS WINDOWS No doubt all the neighbors have seen his man bits. This exhibitionist is operating a one-man show, and we all know who’s the star. If you’re OK with that, grab a front row seat. PASSWORD PROTECTION If his computer requires a log-in, he’s definitely CIA. He knows about your multiple speeding tickets and social security number at this point. So don’t tick him off. On the bright side, he probably has handcuffs. BATHROOM BUFFET A smorgasbord of hygiene products only spells heartbreak. If he’s alternating between Crest and Colgate or Sure and Speed Stick, he has commitment issues. Don’t fall in love! He’s just a playa! 52 : MARCH 22, 2012

Dear Mary,
Dear Boys,
My friend’s house is full of nude male art. There are paintings, sculptures and photos of men in all their naked glory everywhere. But, when his parents come to town, he hides everything in his attic. There’s a debate amongst my friends concerning pride and shame about this matter. We’re just curious about your personal thoughts on the issue.
My parents are cool with the fact that I date dudes. Of course, I am a lady, so this is unsurprising. In spite of that, if my apartment featured a lot of penises (or penii, if you prefer), I’d probably put those away before my parents came to town. A room full of penises might make them uncomfortable. They know I like them, but I see no need to slap my parents in the face with my penises.
Signed, Willy & Peter
Related announcement: you cannot tastefully decorate your apartment with nudity. I’m no prude, and you can maybe have a few nicely appointed pieces that feature nudity, but making nekkid people the unifying theme of your décor indicates you are either a porn star or desperately seeking attention (or both…can you be the former without being the latter? A true quandary…) Tell your friend to pick his two favorite naked dudes to display and put the rest in permanent storage; sexuality in a room, like in life, is only a facet of who you are—not the whole gem. That sounded like a fortune cookie…your lucky numbers are 3 5 7 and 89,387.
If you’ve got a problem for Mary to solve, e-mail mary@fenuxe.com Mary is in no way qualified to give advice to others, and that is why we love her.

Holler Poodles! I have a confession to make. I’m addicted to television! I watch more TV than a person should. And my friends keep adding shows that I must see. From my latest obsessions “Shameless” and “Mad Men” to Kathy Bates in “Harry’s Law” and Michael C. Hall in “Dexter,” I spend way too much time watching. My favorite can’t-miss shows are “Law & Order SVU” and “Big Bang Theory.” My favorite “blast from the past” is “The Nanny.” “Oh Mr. Sheffield!” I have the first three seasons on DVD (to my knowledge they haven’t released the other three) and I watch it on Nick@Nite and TV Land even though I’ve seen each episode at least 12 times. Once you get past her voice, it really is one of the funniest self-deprecating shows I’ve seen. Admittedly, I also watch reality TV. I really enjoy “American Idol,” “Project Runway,” “The Voice,” “America’s Got Talent” and “Hoarders.” But I think there’s a big difference in shows like that versus exploitative reality TV. “Toddlers and Tiaras” and “Dance Moms” come to mind. Have I watched them? Yes, but only twice. Afterward I was so angry. I really question the judgment of those children’s parents. Do they want fame so badly they’re willing to “sell” their kids? What kind of lessons are they teaching them? It makes me wonder what kind of disservice we as a society are doing to children who grow up watching these types of shows without supervision. Adults who know better can understand that producers instigate arguments and edit video to create a storyline
66 : MARCH 22, 2012
that will illicit big ratings. But children who grow up watching grown adults on TV fight like children on a playground don’t know any better unless someone teaches them differently. They grow up having this behavior modeled to them and think it is perfectly fine because it is “reality.” The same can be said for the amount of realistic violence depicted on TV. Without guidance, children see it and think it is normal. While I love to watch lots of different programming, I’m disappointed we as a society are rewarding people for behaving badly. When did our values get switched? I think we can do better! I think we deserve better! I think we are better! Thought of the week: Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots. Love and lashes,

Miss
Richfield
1981
Shannon Jenkins, Associate Writer: Lifestyle & Culture There’s something appealing about Miss Richfield 1981. It may be her signature style composed of white-rim glasses, chewing gum and raven bouffant. Maybe it’s her Midwestern sensibility or bold, physical humor. Whatever the reason, it’s working. With an act that combines “homespun warmth and edgy improv,” the Minnesota native has sold out theaters across the country, including venues in Atlanta, Chicago and New York. During the summer months she packs the house five nights a week in Provincetown, and headlines for Atlantis Events cruises and resort vacations. She has also appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” NBC’s “Today,” TLC’s “Cake Boss” and Travel Channel’s “Weekends With Samantha Brown.” On March 30-31 Miss Richfield brings “2012: We’ll All Be Dead By Christmas!” to the 14th Street Playhouse as she readies her audiences for the rumored apocalypse. Despite her hectic schedule as the potential ends nears, Miss Richfield spared a few moments to speak with Fenuxe. Fenuxe: Have you ever considered leaving Minnesota?
70 : MARCH 22, 2012
Miss Richfield: Good heavens! No! No! No! On second thought, the cold winter months can be treacherous when scampering across the icy walkways in 7-inch stilettos. So I’ve thought about relocating part-time to a small, farming community in Florida called Hialeah. It’s where the Mexicans from Cuba settled and not far from the homos in Fort Lauderdale. They have ample parking facilities, so we’ll see how high gas prices go and then I may drive my home down from Minnesota and feed the meter for a month or so.
Fenuxe: If you ran your own pageant, what qualities would you look for in a winner?
Fenuxe: You’ve been doing what you do for quite a while. What’s the key to your longevity?
Miss Richfield: As Miss Richfield 1981, a beauty Miss Richfield: Professional training and good professional and pageant title holder, I know the clean living. buzz about scholarships and high school diplomas and all, but it’s a fact that only 50 percent of beauty Fenuxe: How does Atlanta’s gay scene compare queens can actually read and write, and virtually to other cities you’ve visited? none of us do math. So I’d hang it all on a lovely appearance, big hair and reasonable hygiene. Let’s Miss Richfield: I find the homos in Atlanta to be face it, beauty is skin deep and everybody knows particularly happy and satisfied, not to mention exceptionally handsome. that your skin is not They always make me connected to your brain! Miss Richfield 1981 Presents feel right at home, and “2012: We’ll All Be Dead By Christmas!” I end up loving it all in Fenuxe: How do you When: March 30 at 8PM Where: 14th Street Playhouse, Atlanta. It could be the keep yourself occupied 173 14th Street, Midtown healthy diet of peaches on all those Atlantis Tickets: $25-$35 and sufficient roughage cruises? Details: www.missrichfield.com or that make a person www.14thstplayhouse.org regular and happy. Or Miss Richfield: it could be my friendly Surprisingly, I do not have a lot of free time on the ships as the homos accommodations at the Shepherd’s Inn on Ivan have me running country dances and bingo and Allen Boulevard, with its nighttime crowd and ice skating during the day and then I usually work shared baths. Or it could be that good old-fashioned a night shift in the laundry for some mad money Southern style that makes me smile and ask that and bus fare home. It’s not a bad gig because everyone move faster you can say what’s on your mind since no one or get out of speaks English. Then I also do a few shows in the my way! main theater, which can seat up to 1,300 people. It never sounds like that many since most of the homos refuse to put down their cocktails to clap. But I know they’re out there when my eyes are watering from the stench of expensive cologne, dime store hair gel and that chemical smell from dry cleaning—you know they refuse to launder conventionally! Fenuxe: You’ve been the Orbitz Gay Travel spokesperson for a hot second. How’s that going? Miss Richfield: I don’t want to toot my own horn, but hang on while I grab my tuba! We’re filming another Orbitz commercial the day before my Atlanta show! And those people at Orbitz are really, really smart. They discovered that when people see Miss Richfield 1981, they want to travel. It doesn’t matter whether it’s on the street or in a restaurant or even in my shows, once people get near me, they just want to get up and go! It’s very consistent! Fenuxe: If the world ends in December, how do you think it will happen? Miss Richfield: I can’t go into too much detail, as it is a topic I highlight in my new show, “2012: We’ll All Be Dead By Christmas!” But I’ll guarantee you that the nightmarish horror and panic of the end times have been carefully and accurately crafted into uplifting musings and musical production numbers that will encourage you to take a celebratory approach to the impending Armageddon!
