ort Lauderdale artist Valyn Calhoun isn’t shy about his art or the dark muse that inspires it: “Since I was molested at such a young age and repressed it, I never realized why I was a sex addict. After traveling the country, getting my bachelor’s degree in graphic design and moving back to Florida—I moved back into the apartment complex where the molestation happened. That’s when the memories started coming back.”

“The Cycle”

“Untitl ed”

A 29-year-old Kentucky native—who has lived in South Florida since there was a Piggly Wiggly standing in the Shoppes of Wilton Manors—Calhoun doesn’t see himself as a “gay photographic artist.” “I have always defined myself by my accomplishments and my work—not my sexuality,” the 29-year-old Kentucky-native—who was born on St. Patrick’s Day—says. “I believe if more artists took that approach, we would see exponential growth between our neighboring communities. It’s time to ‘leave the island,’ so to speak.” He came out when he was 15, and discovered his mother had a secret of her own. “My mother immediately began to cry and confessed her sexuality to me, as well. My mother and father are now both best friends and roommates. I guess you could say I’m very lucky in the family arena.”

Valyn, who is single (“I plan to keep it that way for a while”) says he uses his art as a means of touching the parts of him that might be otherwise less accessible. “My goal with art is very selfish in that it is really a matter of self-exploration for me. I have several large scale events in the works and love to stir up the pot whenever possible,” he adds, muse-as-imp engaged.

MUSINGS Britney Spears has signed on to become a judge on the next season of “X Factor.” Us Weekly confirms Spears has been negotiating for the past two months, and reports say that the Born-inMiss’ippi-Raised-in-Looz-ee-ana southern belle will be bringing home the bacon in a big way, to the tune of an estimated 1-2-3—make that $16 million. Animals? Meanwhile, in Party Switzerland, toxicology reports have surfaced that show two dolphins (the marine mammal kind) named Shadow and Chelmers died from overdoses of heroin. From where did these dolphins get a heroin-substitute (Buprenorphine), you ask? From the public rave that was allowed to take place near their training pool at the Connyland Marine Park water zoo, of course. I want to think their last thoughts were, “So much dubstep, so little time,” but, you know. Justin

Bieber’s

“Boyfriend”

The debut last month of teen- (and pedo-) idol Justin Bieber’s single “Boyfriend” brought some comparisons to the 2005 Ying Yang Twins hit “Wait (The Whisper Song).” It seems the Twins have formed a mutual-admiration society with the Bieber, releasing their own remix of “Boyfriend” last week. The lyrics kick off the song with a brotherly “Ying Yang and Justin Bieber, oh!” followed by a rap that playfully ‘tweaks’ J.B.’s youthfulness, and attempts to c**kblock the 18-year-old Canadian ‘throb (as in “heart”). “I don’t wanna be your boyfriend, I wanna be your man/ He a little-bitty boy, I’m a grown man/I can take you overseas, a harmless breeze/Then you and me can have sex on the beach/I bet you ain’t never met someone like me/ I’m the broom, you the dust pan/Sweep you off your feet/You can be my woman, I can be your man/If you got a little sister, Justin Bieber want to be her boyfriend,” they rap, before the remix picks back up with Jussy’s version.

Adam & Ease By ADAM STRONG

Date Night :

Dinner and a (Scary) Movie style. Nothing invokes the romance, excitement—and, yes, danger—of the first rumblings of love than a scary movie. The blood pumping and adrenaline rushing of the fight-or-flight response—one that kicks in at the sound of a chainsaw or a co-ed letting loose a bone-chilling scream—lends itself to a date night theme that is equals parts fun, romance, and thrills.

t’s always fun for couples to meet friends out, or to invite them over to your place, but every now and then, every couple needs to make time that’s reserved just for them. We call this Date Night, and it’s a great way for lovers (and likers!) to reconnect with each other in a fun, romantic way. The date night can take many different shapes and styles: this time, we are going to give you the goods on a variation of the dinner-and-a-movie theme, Slasher-

guy magazine

“Psycho?” My mother used to call me that. Although the 1970s was the Golden Age of Cinematic Horror (giving us “The Exorcist,” “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “Halloween,” “Friday the 13th,” “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” and many other great scary movies), there are plenty of more recent selections that will bring you closer to the edge of your seat (or couch)—and, more importantly, toward each other. You don’t need to play dress up to set the proper tone. Black and Red are very evocative colors and associated with the Slasher/Horror genre. They make a simple theme for curtains and draperies (ideally being blown gently—and eerily—by the prompts of an oscillating fan hidden behind). Other things you can do to establish ambience include dimming all the lights and enjoying your illumination strictly by candle, and selecting background music fit for the occasion (I’m thinking Enigma’s 1990 album/CD “MCMXC a.D.”—and in particular the Gregorian chant-inspired track “Sadeness, Part 1”) will make the atmosphere appear more “sexy scary.” For dinner, go with something fun, delicious, and easy to prepare that fits the evening’s Playbill. I am a big fan of chili (although chili beans are usually not included in my recipes for the Great American Dish). This is a simple and filling main course that you guys can enjoy right in front of the big (flat) screen. Tell your date that you got this recipe from your former neighbors—Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett.

“Slasher Meat Pie” (or “Chainsaw Chili”): Ingredients: 1 lb ground sausage meat 1 lb ground beef 1 medium onion, chopped 1 green pepper, chopped 1 can of diced tomatoes (seasoned if you prefer) 3 dashes hit sauce 1 Tbsp butter 1 Tbsp olive oil Complete seasoning irections: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On the stovetop, melt the butter and olive oil (or in this case, the remains of Olive Oyl, Popeye’s onetime paramour—we’re going for theme, now, baby!) in a large saucepan, and add onions and peppers, frying for 5 minutes. Remove casings (“human intestines”) from the sausage and add the sausage meat and ground beef to the same saucepan, stirring frequently, making sure to break up the sausage pieces and integrate it into the ground beef, onions, and green peppers. Add canned tomatoes (one 12 oz. can works, and we especially enjoy the “flavored” ones, try garlic and oregano, or hot bell pepper-seasoned for extra spiciness), and seasoning to taste. Stir the entire mixture well, bringing to a boil, then put the lid on the saucepan, and turn down the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve in a bowl HOT. In our 4.26.12 issue (Guy Magazine, “Adam & Ease: Celebra el Cinco de Mayo!”), I gave you a recipe for Sangria which—served chilled and on ice as Blood Bank Plasma—would make a perfect complement to your Chainsaw Chili dish. For dessert, if you want to “cheat” (both ways), get a store-bought Red Velvet Cake (“Bloody Red Delight”), with a moist and deep red center that says it all! On the other hand, this is date night, so pull out all the stops and treat your dearly departed—er, beloved—to your homemade “Burnt Offerings” (named for the 1976 mystery horror thriller film), a renamed crème brûlée—a yummy dessert that’s as delicious to look at as it is to eat. In French, the name means “burnt cream,” a reference to its caramelized finish. Your Burnt Offerings can be served slightly warm or chilled.

Ingredients: 6 egg yolks, chilled 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar 1 ½ cups of whipping cream, chilled 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar (for topping) irections: Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Butter six ½ cup custard cups (or ramekins) and set them into a glass baking dish. If cooking the custards in a metal pan, cover the bottom of the pan with a layer of newspaper to ensure an even temperature on the bottom. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks until slightly thickened. Add the sugar and mix until dissolved; mix in cream, then pour mixture into the prepared custard cups. Bring the water for the water bath to a light simmer on the stovetop; carefully pour hot water into the baking pan to come half-way up the sides of the custard cups. NOTE: The most common mistake people make in baking custard is not putting enough water in the hot-water bath. The water should come up to the level of the custard inside the cups. You must protect the custard from the heat. Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes or until the custard is set around the edges (but still loose in the middle). Cooking time depends on the size of the custard cup you use. You should start checking after a half hour and then check regularly until ready, then remove from the oven. (When the custard center is set, it will jiggle a little when shaken.) Remove from the oven and leave in the water bath until cooled to room temperature. Remove cups from water bath, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least four hours. When ready to serve, uncover the custard cups. If condensation has collected on the tops of the custards, use a paper towel on the surface to soak up the excess moisture. Sprinkle one or two teaspoons of sugar over each crème brûlée. You are ready to FLAME: For best results, hold a small hand-held torch four to five inches from the sugar, maintaining a slow and even motion. Stop torching just before you have achieved the desired darkness, since the sugar will cook for a few seconds after flame has been removed. (If you don’t have a torch, place the crème brûlée inside the oven about six inches below the broiler for five minutes or until the sugar bubbles and turns golden brown.) Refrigerate the crème brûlée for at least 10 minutes before serving. Makes six servings.

And during the movie? What else— Jiffy Pop popcorn.

Guy Dining By RICHARD DAVID CHAMBERLAIN

Bailey’s Bistro: The Girls Have It

here once was a Labrador Retriever named Bailey. While Baily died a little over a year ago at the ripe old age of 17, rumor has it that this faithful pet provided the kind of unconditional love that gives the Labrador breed its reputation as friendly, energetic, good-natured, and smart. You can add to that “well-meaning,” ‘cause occasionally a Lab will tramp through the garden, root through the garbage or otherwise make a mess of things, all the while giving you that “I’m really, really sweet” look that insists on forgiveness. So too is it with Bailey’s Bistro, the new restaurant named after the aforementioned dag. Able to feed about 40 in comfort, this small and feisty bistro had been open for several months before its recent Grand Opening party a few days back. The place was packed with mostly gals who all seem to know one another and the two female co-owners, and from the noise level being generated—this group knows a great party when they find one. The menu is basic bistro food, with everything prepared with organic ingredients to order. Translation: expect a wait for the food, and expect it to be harvest fresh. There’s a small bottled-beer menu; an even smaller wine list; and bottled soda and water. The house specialty is sirloin tips. You’ll find it in its Sirloin Tip Marinade ($14), a tasty tender portion served over housemade mashed potatoes, and includes a side salad or soup, plus beans, broccoli or corn. (A lunch portion is $10 without a side dish). The sirloin tips are back in the bistro’s excellent Hot Cheese Steak Sandwich ($7) with grilled onions, green peppers, mushrooms and cheese (a choice of provolone or mozzarella). Making this entrée extra tempting is the side of housemade potato chips… very crispy and very good. Less exciting is the Turkey Sandwich ($7). While the turkey tasted fresh-roasted, there wasn’t enough

guy magazine

of it to really tell. Ditto, the Italian Sub ($7) with a minimum of Genoa salami, capicota, proschutto and provolone. A foot-long from Subway, this ain’t. The most expensive dish on the menu is the $16 Beef Stroganoff. We’re Stroganoff fans and would give the version served at Bailey’s Bistro an A for effort, but a C for taste. While the cream sauce is wonderfully flavorful, there’s simply too much of it in proportion to the sirloin beef. We were impressed by the inclusion of Shepherd’s Pie on the menu. At $13, it’s one of Bailey’s best bargains as well as its biggest mystery. Classic Shepherd’s pie is a ground lamb dish. Here the selection is made with ground sirloin (with corn and beans) and topped with mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese. That would officially make is a Cottage Pie in anyone’s cookbook. Call it what you will, it’s an excellent choice, particularly if you’ve got a hearty appetite. The walls at Bailey’s Bistro are hung with musical instruments—all played by the place’s co-owner Kelly, occasionally on the stage set on the sidewalk side of the restaurant, from which karaoke belts every Friday night. On Saturdays, Bailey’s is home to various live performances, with the stage available to local musicians who care to have a venue for their talents. Bailey—the lab—has its portrait hung front and center on the north wall, in memory of the Bistro’s namesake. The lab has been replaced by another rescue these days, a mix known as Mocha.

Angry Birds We’re of a Feather Your Weather, Flock Together Gurls

can’t tell you how long I’ve dreaded writing this review, simply because the most popular game in mobile app history—anywhere in the known multiverse—is a source of contention at Chez DuncanSainte. My better half, Proculus, loves to play Angry Birds at all hours of the day and night—he is likely playing it on his computer even as I write this—to the point it has become the 2012 equivalent of birth control (assuming either of us was capable of popping one out), or at least late, late night TV. The basic plot of this highly addictive game app is that a group of rotten Pigs (with apologies to Ramrod) has been working the last good nerves of a gaggle (flock? rookery? swarm?) of angry birds, whose part the player takes in an act of sweet revenge against the Porcine Perpetrators who have kyped the avian acrobats’ eggs. The physics-based game play is accomplished using a slingshot to propel the birds towards the pigs’ fortresses, killing the Hammy Horde in the process and propelling the birds’ player towards higher levels of play (over 300 of them) and greater glory! The app is free for the Google Play Android and a whopping 99 cents for iPhone. DON’T DO IT: the relationship you save may be your own. (You can never say you weren’t warned.)

like to pretend that my Weather Channel app has a full staff of meteorologists and techie weather geeks miniaturized inside my smartphone (especially that hunky Rob Lopicola!), and that’s exactly what the program does, which will be especially important as we move into the summer months and try to plan a social calendar around the rain days. Much like its online counterpart, the Weather Channel app provides interactive maps with animated radar, offers severe weather alerts for U.S. locations, as well as hourly and 10-day forecasts, video of breaking news and spectacular weather coverage, an iWitness function that lets you upload and view photos and videos of weather in your area as well as to your Facebook profile, and lots more. The 4.3.0 version includes pollen push alerts to let you know where you’re most likely to get the sneezys—how’s that for sexy? Forecast: Free (with a slight chance of showers). Continued on Page 52

Let There Be Flashlight!

Log Me In? Nah, I’m Too Lazy

ho among us hasn’t used the display on your smartphone to illuminate a dark place? The problem with this bit of “MacGyvery” is that the weak light on your display does more damage to your retinas than it provides a decent light source. The Flashlight app by i4software uses your iPhone’s own camera flash to deliver a sharp beam of light that you manage with a screen-centered power button. The beam’s level of brightness can also be adjusted, or set to strobe. Flashlight, the Number One top paid utility app (and Number Five top paid overall app) in the U.S. is up to 10 times brighter than the iPhone’s screen and up to three times brighter than most D-Battery flashlights. Bright Spot: $1.99 (At press time, the app is on sale for 99 cents. Light one up.)

n spite of the name, this cool app has nothing to do with the lesbian couple next door and their rolypoly Lithuanian adoption baby (cute though the little žavinga might be). The monsters are waiting for you in this fun romp through 11 animated worlds as you feed the beasties (literally—these cute blobs have an appetite for You Know Who) from a 360-degree gravity platform. Each of the 11 world scenarios has seven levels and secrets to unlock, and while fun and ever-so-slightlycampy, constantly shifting surfaces and obstacles make this a real challenge. This universal app is now optimized for both iPhone and iPad, and includes Retina support for the iPhone 4 and the iPod Touch 4G. Gobble it up: 99 cents.

Guy Travel By ROBERT ELIAS DEATON

SALT LAKE CITY Gone Wild (Sorta) Part 2 of 2 This week we return to Utah, land of the Mormons, clear skies, mountain ranges, and little bluestem—which is not the name of an small Indian Chief but rather a beautiful scrub grass which is indigenous to the Salt Lake City area and whose seeds feed flocks of migrating songbirds this time of year. Now, before we launch into our discussion of the Salt Lake City gay nightclub scene, let’s clear up a little confusion. You’ve probably heard that UNDIE Mormons don’t believe in drinking alcohol (or coffee or tea, for that matter). But just because the church controls much of Salt Lake City does not mean that it is hard to find a gay club serving liquor in the city. Up until 2009, it was a bit more difficult, since clubs and restaurants serving liquor operated as private establishments requiring guests to pay a membership fee. While many current guidebooks still claim that this is the case, the liquor laws changed several years ago and membership fees are the stuff of memory. That’s the good news and the bad news. Rather than lose the income that membership fees provided, gay bars now charge a cover fee, which is typically more than the old membership fee—between $5 and $10, depending on the club. Not a deal breaker, of course, but still a factor when putting together your budget for a nightly cruise. Our personal favorite of all clubs in Salt City City is JAM (JamSLC.com) in the Marmalade Historical District at 751

GREAT AMERICA HOTEL

N 300 West. This sophisticated eco-friendly joint has bamboo floors, stone-topped bars, and an ambiance that throws off strong shades of a Manhattan loft. Don’t be intimidated by the wash of attitude that occasionally floods from the JAM cuter clientele here. It’s a protective illusion that quickly crumbles when picked at like a fresh scab. On Friday nights, the well drinks are $5.00. So, too, are the Long Island ice teas. Club Try-Angles (www.clubtry-angles.com) is located at 251 W 900 South. It’s a small neighborhood space that has a fun Sunday barbecue, and a naughty underwear night the third Saturday of every month. RUN There’s zero attitude at “The Try,” strong drinks and an always-busy pool table. Keep a look out for the drag queen pool shark before you write your name on the chalkboard. The Trapp (www.thetrappslc.com) is a wood-paneled nightclub with no cover charge and great music from a house DJ called D. Mosey up to the bar and you’ll discover a pleasant mix of older guys and the boys who like them—really like them from the looks of things. Great outside barbecue on Sundays in the spring and summer; a buffet for the rest of the year. Find the excitement at 102 S 600 West. While there are many, many great places to stay in the area— including a wide selection of gay B&B’s—the holy grail of hotels is the Grand America. (www.grandamerica.com). Built in 2001 and located at 555 S Main Street, this five-star luxury palace of opulence is 775 rooms worth of excess. Yes, it’s over-the-top by anyone’s standards, with many of the accommodations including full kitchens, washer and dryers, and microwave oven. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of the spectacular Wasatch Mountain Range and all of downtown Salt Lake City. The Grand Spa in the hotel offers a lavish fitness center with cardio and strength training equipment, plus executive services including hot-towel shaves, full back and chest waxes, facials, pedicures, manicures, and expert haircuts at very reasonable rates. Brigham Young would be pleased. Robert Elias Deaton is a world-traveling epicure who enjoys the finer things in life.

Ask Arlen By DR. ARLEN LEIGHT

Dear Arlen:

Maybe I have been watching too many “procedural” dramas on TNT (Law & Order, CSI, etc.), but I keep encountering the word “paraphilia” in context with “kinky acts” and other things that seem to take B&D, S&M, and all that, to an extreme. What is this, and is it something that only sociopaths are into?

Ace (on the Case)

Dear “Ace,”

You have been watching too much TV, but your question is a good one. The word paraphilia is a Greek-based medical term derived from para, meaning deviation, and philia, meaning love of, or attraction to. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has defined the term as “unusual, noncoercive sexual behavior.” Historically, homosexuality was classified as paraphillic, but was phased out in a process that took 21 years, from 1973 to 1994. Today, we define normaphillic as “erotosexually in conformity with the standard in our culture.” This would include vaginal, oral, and anal intercourse. Paraphillic sex refers to erotosexual arousal to sexual objects or situations that are not normative to the culture or society. Most often, paraphillic sex is considered socially unacceptable. “Kinky sex” is an accurate lay (excuse the pun) definition for paraphilias. There are over 50 different recognized types of paraphilias. The most recognizable are: • Exhibitionism—the exposure of one’s genitals to an unsuspecting stranger • Fetishism—arousal fantasies, urges or behaviors involving the use of non-living objects (i.e., undergarments) • Frotteurism—touching or rubbing against nonconsenting persons • Pedophilia—arousal fantasies, urges or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children (under 13 years of age) • Sexual Masochism—sex involving the act of being humiliated, beaten, bound or otherwise made to suffer • Sexual Sadism—sex in which the psychological or physical suffering of the victim creates sexual excitement • Voyeurism—sex involving the act of observing an unsuspecting person who is naked, in the process of disrobing or engaging in sexual activity • Transvestic Fetishism—sex involving cross-dressing These paraphilias are considered to be mental health disorders diagnostically ONLY when they “cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.” It is not at all unusual for men to be paraphillic and comfortable with variations in sexual behavior. Other less well known paraphilias include: • Acrotomophilia—sexual excitement with an amputee partner

guy magazine

•Apotemnophilia—sexual excitement involving self-amputation • Asphyxiophilia—sexual excitement involving asphyxiation (also known as hypoxyphilia) • Autonepiophilia—sexual excitement with wearing diapers or other infantilism • Coprophilia—sexual excitement with feces (also known as “scat”) • Ephebophilia—sexual excitement with an adolescent partner • Necrophilia—sexual excitement with a corpse Paraphilias have absolutely nothing to do with a diagnosis of sociopathic disorder or sociopathic personality. However, some paraphilias are against the law, such as exhibitionism, voyeurism, and pedophilia. Most individuals who engage in paraphillic activity also have normaphillic sexual desires. There are some people who cannot get aroused unless paraphillic imagery and/or behavior is involved. It is not unusual for individuals to have distress when their erotic desires conflict with a personal sense of morality, religious beliefs, or sense of safety. Others find obsessive dependence or compulsion on their paraphillic desires causing anxiety or discomfort. When paraphillic eroticism is causing distress or putting one at risk physically or emotionally, consultation with a clinical sexologist or certified sex therapist is in order.

Best of luck,

Arlen

Are You Eating Your Way to Prostate Problems? 10 Foods to Avoid for Prostate Health

hen it comes to men, the prostate is a very important organ to maintain for a lifetime. Unfortunately, this delicate walnut-sized organ enlarges as we age resulting in a condition called benign prostatic hypertrophy or BPH. This overgrowth rarely produces symptoms before the age of 40, but more than half of the men in their sixties, and up to 90% of men in their seventies and eighties experience symptoms, including the need to urinate overnight, increased urgency or weak or low stream. Cancers and malignancies are also common in this organ, with up to 320,000 new prostate cancer cases a year. Most of these cases could have been prevented by a healthier diet. Whether in the kitchen or out on the town, wiser choices can save you--and your prostate. The number one food that attacks your prostrate is the number one choice for protein when it comes to Americans. That’s right, red meat. Red meats and processed meats can increase cancerous growths in the prostrate 12 to 33 percent. Studies suggest that the culprit is the level of fat in red meat as well as the carcinogens activated during the cooking process. Number two is eating nonorganic meats. These are meats that contain hormones, antibiotics and steroids, as well as other choice things animals should not be fed—but are. This includes corn, soybeans and other non-organic grains used to”fatten” them up for slaughter. Overeating dairy products is number three on our list. Too many dairy products are high in fat and cholesterol, with some containing leftover hormones from those “juiced up” dairy cows. High intake of calcium through supplements or dairy products has been linked to prostate cancer by the American Heart Association (AHA). Number four is canned tomatoes. Farm fresh tomatoes contain lycopene which aids prostrate health. Canned tomatoes, on the other hand, can contain bisphenol-A or BPA, a synthetic estrogen, from the resin lining of the can.

guy magazine

In fifth place is microwave popcorn. The lining of microwavable popcorn bags contain carcinogenic chemicals, as well as perfluoroctanonic acid(PFOA), which is associated with human infertility. Non-organic potatoes should be avoided as well. While potatoes are healthy vegetables, the non-organic variety can contain poisons, herbicides, and pesticides that are absorbed from the ground in which they are grown. You cannot wash off the chemicals that have been leached into the skin of the potato. In seventh place are two of America’s favorites: french fries and potato chips. These potato products contain saturated fat content. Additionally, when fries and chips are cooked, the acrylamide content becomes a carcinogen. Number eight is artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame, neotame, cyclamate, sucralose, and saccharin. These ingredients can already be found in a wide variety of foods you may already be eating, especially if you are on a diabetic diet. The key is to element the quantity of these non-calorie sugar replacements. Farmed salmon come in at number nine, for while the salmon itself is healthy, the fish feed they are given is loaded with antibiotics and other contaminants, lowering the omega-3 fatty acids and upping the contaminants. Number ten on our list is sugar, so prevalent in many American foods and beverages. Over-consumption of sugar not only adds extra calories, packing on pounds and the potential of diabetes, it can fuel prostate cancer growth. While the number one killer of men is still heart disease, eating a prostate-wise diet will benefit your entire body and add years to your sex life as well.

Guy Style

By ALEXANDER KARL

Finding Your Style Through Quality

imply put, whether you are looking at a complete home refurbishment or a quick face lift for certain parts of your home, if you go for the bottom line you’re going to lose. Your best alternative: go for style and quality. It’s about raising the bar, and that means across the board. Out with the old and in with the new. Throw out everything you dislike in your house. Make sure you have something to sleep on, but this is a great first step, especially when you are ready to act but not exactly sure how to get the ball rolling. Finding what you like. Maybe you have no idea what you like, or you haven’t thought about it in such a while that your tastes have changed. Go to your favorite stores and browse around. If you like something, try to visualize it in your space and look for things to match it. Make sure whatever you plan to take home that you’ll want to see it, sit on it, live with it every day. If you love it, you can’t go wrong. Invest in style and quality. Go after your style, thinking about what colors and textures you love. Maybe it’s a plain matte finish of neutral color, or wild, bold colors with nice flooring accents like rugs, tile, or a custom hard wood. Instead of spending a little for something not so good, spend a little more for something that’s better. Keep in mind that a brand name

guy magazine

doesn’t always equal a suitable application or a style that suits your overall goal. Remember the image you’re trying to achieve. When you’re out you may get a bit carried away, so remember the style you want and look for pieces and palettes that fit in with that criteria. Write a list. Walk around your home and write down all the things that you will need in order for your sense of style to be represented in your living spaces. When you go shopping, buy items that fit in with that criteria and that you really love (but make sure you do not bring home anything before you clean house first). Interior Painting. Even if you rent your home, you don’t have to live with off-white paint on your walls. Now more than ever before, there are paint palettes and products that can accommodate your sense of style and make your home truly unique. Whether your style is classic and simple, fresh and fun, bold and bright, or purely whimsical, there are products and techniques that can bring that vision to life. Gerald Celente of the Trends Research Institute—widely considered to be the world’s leading financial and cultural trends forecaster—reports that a trend towards style and quality is taking place and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

AIDS Health Foundation (AHF):

Florida AIDS Walk By DALE MADISON

FLORIDA AIDS WALK & Music Festival 2012 Sunday, May 20 Check in: 8 a.m. Walk: 10 a.m. Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel 1140 Seabreeze Blvd. Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316

hen Mark Martin was tapped in December 2010 to take over the local branch of AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), he knew there were some pretty big shoes he had to fill. His predecessor, Mark Bode, was recognized for doing an amazing job in opening the Out of the Closet Thrift Store in Wilton Manors, and was well on his way to the second Broward County store on East Sunrise Boulevard. Suddenly, Bode made the decision to move back west to be near his family, and Martin was moved up to Regional Director of Community Relations and Development. Now at the helm for nearly two years, Martin is preparing for his group’s Seventh Annual Florida AIDS Walk, Sunday, May 20, beginning at South Beach Park on Fort Lauderdale Beach. “When I took over, I tried to analyze every aspect of the organization,” says Martin. One of

the first things he analyzed was the dynamics of the Florida AIDS Walk. “While Bode had the vision of a 10-K walk, I listened to many of the participants and many of them said that it was just too long of a trek from Las Olas [Boulevard] up to the beach and then back. That’s why this year, it will be a 5K walk,” notes Martin. He also decided that the event needed more curb appeal. “I heard that there was not enough— for lack of a better word—‘celebration’ for the day. This year, I am making an effort to make it more entertaining,” he added. “It’s going to be much different this year. Working with the City of Fort Lauderdale, we have a stage on the beach. It’s gonna be a kick.” While AHF is a nationwide foundation, “One hundred percent of the money raised by Florida AIDS Walk stay in Florida,” according to Martin. “Florida is ground zero [for the HIV/AIDS epidemic], and it is my mission right now to Continued on Page 66

make everyone aware of this fact. Broward County has the dubious distinction of being number one in new teen infections. As an organization, we have three testing vans that are out in the community holding testings for HIV/AIDS. Unlike some organizations, we help to get counseling for anyone testing positive.” In December 2010, AHF donated over $1 million in Broward County as a direct result of the Florida AIDS Walk. While Martin wouldn’t reveal the name of this year’s top entertainment performer, he did mention that Miami’s Y-100 radio station and IHeartRadio’s DJ Elvis Duran will be onstage this year. ith two Broward locations and two Miami-Dade locations, AHF’s Out of the Closet Thrift Stores are continuing raising money and awareness for the cause of HIV/ AIDS treatment and prevention. The organization just announced that they have opened their first store in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands.

guy magazine

When the Florida AIDS Walk kicks off on Sunday, the event will include a special walled area for refreshments. “We have done this special area to protect sea turtle nesting that’s in the area,” Martin says. In addition to AHF, this year’s Florida AIDS Walk will benefit Broward House, the Center for Positive Connections, the Children’s Diagnostic and Treatment Center, Latinos Salud, Minority Development and Empowerment, Inc., the Pride Center at Equality Park, South Beach AIDS Project, and SunServe. For those interested organizing a team or walking as individuals, and for more information, visit floridaaidswalk.org.
