LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. Because of you, our loyal readers, viewers and advertisers, we have had the most successful year in our history! When we decided at the end of last year to become your premier South Florida publication and focus specifically on Wilton Manors, Fort Lauderdale and Oakland Park for our pin point circulation, local content, neighborhood business features, your response was amazing. Our advertisers realized what a niche-marketing giant we really are with our ability to reach local consumers. Our valued advertisers realized they do not need to pay a premium in other publications to reach a market that will rarely, if ever, patronize their businesses. We recognized on behalf of our advertisers that over 90 percent of their business is derived from this 20-mile reach with our circulation and dynamic local content. Even most tourists stay within 20 miles of Wilton Drive. Likewise, we also realized our local readers and viewers love having a pure local reading and viewing experience every week plus 24/7 access to our two online platforms—www.guymag.net and www. foridaagenda.com. For the past 18 months, we have been investing passionately to create the first-of-its-kind ONLINE SOCIAL MEDIA MAGAZINE for readers and viewers to interact in real time with our advertisers and each other. I am thrilled to announce at our Holiday Party, December 12th at 6:30 PM at Dapur Restaurant, I will be launching and showcasing this amazing and innovative first-to-market online experience. We have created a platform where our advertisers social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, etc are connected to their GUYMAG.NET social media response pages in real time. Every comment, picture and video about local businesses is immediately populated to their GUYMAG.NET social media response page. This results in the first-ever current, online business marketing pages for our advertisers and for our readers and viewers to have up-to-the-second information on special offers, exciting events and everything else our advertisers want known about their clubs, bars and businesses. Consumers can upload pictures and videos to their favorite businesses social media response pages and enroll to receive special offers on their mobile phone in real time, redeemable on-thespot. All readers and viewers will be able to watch

guymag.net

theguymag

a dynamic 60-second video on each business, and write real time reviews and comments on their own experience with the establishments. Additionally, consumers will be able to map each business through our Google mapping experience, so finding a location has never been easier. Currently we have tens of thousands of unique monthly visitors and this audience is growing every day. In my seven years of publishing LGBT content, never have I been more thrilled and excited, and quite honestly proud, to announce that we have created a way to keep our print publications innovative and on the cutting edge for years to come. Every one of our advertisers will have the opportunity to have their print advertisement GO LIVE on our GUYMAG.NET Mobile Application. Here’s how it works. You simply download our mobile application “Engage Mobility.” By scanning the logo of the advertisement you are reading, you activate a business video of the establishment showcasing everything relevant about the business. This also works on our clients’ business cards, brochures, post cards, menus, etc, etc. This is amazing and game-changing for our company and for our loyal print readers who now have the ability to experience a business and make a buying decision with a GUY MAGAZINE or FLORIDA AGENDA newspaper print advertisement like never before. This is a monumental opportunity for our print advertisers to have the ability to communicate a message in the most powerful and proven way--VIDEO. Being first to market with America’s first LGBT ONLINE SOCIAL MEDIA MAGAZINE experience is exciting for those of us at Multimedia Platforms. Our readers, viewers and advertisers will be unique in their ability to enjoy and benefit from this new and exciting experience. The world is ever changing, and in order to serve you best, we must continue to invest and change with it. Only then can we work to earn your continued loyal support. Businesses can subscribe to our monthly Online Social Media Online Magazine platform beginning January 1, 2014. It’s an exciting time to be leading the massive LGBT marketing push. I wish everyone a safe and rewarding holiday season. Your incredible support over the years has been truly inspiring to me. It is because of you, we are where we are today and have the platform to provide you the best LGBT Multimedia experience anywhere. THANK YOU! Bobby Blair Guy Magazine, Publisher

COVER

Footballer Stuart Reardon Waxes and Shines for LGBT Causes by

Grant James

American footballers can learn a thing or two from their European counterparts, especially when it comes to standing up as LGBT allies. Professional rugby league player Stuart Reardon is the latest to raise his voice in support, arguing in recent interviews against Russia’s inhumanity toward the LGBT community. This month he announced he was partnering with Axiom For Men, the men’s skin care line, in their effort to raise money and visibility for LGBT organizations. When customers buy any Axiom For Men product, the company donates a percent of sales to LGBT charities including Family Equality Council and The National Center for Transgender Equality, among others. We sat down with the burly footballer to discuss how he is preparing for the upcoming season and to learn if the new partnership means he’ll be waxing his front and rear-don. The news has been reporting on bullying in the American football locker room. Does bullying exist in the rugby locker room? I’ve never seen bullying in the locker room. We make jokes but it doesn’t go any further than that. The coaches wouldn’t tolerate it.

guymag.net

theguymag

guymagtube

What is something a guy might get chided for? Well, the fact that I model has been a good source of jokes. Really, a big guy like you gets picked on? Sure, but I don’t mind. It’s really all about the camaraderie. It never erupts into anything serious or personal. We’re just trying to have a laugh. How will they react to your being the new face of men’s skin care? Some might have a laugh but most guys use products these days. When they see all the loot in my gym bag, they’ll be begging me for it. You actually use it? Of course. The hair removal cream, in particular, is an important part of my gear, not only for photo shoots but for when I play rugby. If my legs are hairy it gives opponents something to grip onto when tackling and also makes treating abrasions more painful. How often do you wax? Once a month. Luckily, I’m not naturally hairy. My legs are hairy, but my chest isn’t. Waxing probably helps your tats stand out. Actually, that’s true. That was how I first started using Axiom. Their cream is known for not fading ink. My tattoos are very personal and important to me. Several rugby players have stood up as LGBT allies, among them: Ben Cohen, Nick Youngquest and now you. Why have rugby players stood up but not American footballers? I don’t know that much about American football culture. In the UK, times are really changing and people are much more open-minded than they were even a decade ago.

come out of the closet? I think so. Gareth Thomas came out. He had a tough ride for a while, but he found acceptance. How would you feel about having a gay player in the showers with you? I wouldn’t even think twice about it. It would be like showering with any other player. What are your thoughts on Russia’s new anti-gay LGBT laws? They’re disgusting. Should U.S. and UK athletes boycott the Sochi Olympics? I don’t think so. If I were one of the athletes, I’d rather make a statement through competing. I’ll always choose solving things on the field. It puts out a stronger message than boycotting. How are you gearing up for the next sporting season? I’m currently in rehab for my Achilles. I underwent reconstruction surgery three months ago so I’m spending lots of time with physicians and trainers, lifting weights and doing cardio. I can’t run yet but I’m almost there. This is the time in the season to put on body weight, so I’m working on that too. But first, make sure you moisturize! Of course, I aim to shine off and on the field. Visit axiomformen.com for more information on Axiom for Men.

Have you played against Cohen or Youngquest? I have not played Ben. I hear he’s a good winger. I have played against Nick in the Super League. He’s a great player. He’d have to be as he plays at the highest level. Would it be safe for a professional rugby player to guymag.net

THE WEEK

Holiday Tea Cruise, Cheech and Chong and David Chappelle

____________________ Thursday

12/12

Gay and Lesbian Lawyers Network Holiday Party and Fundraiser oIt’s going to be tough to imagine lawyers mustering up the courage to show some holiday cheer, but just stay with us for a moment. The Gay and Lesbian Lawyer Network hopes to create educational seminars, lectures, and presentations as well as social events with a charitable element so that gays in the legal profession can enhance their practices through education, friendships, referral relationships, and professional development. This holiday party is a great chance to network and to raise money for Cal Steinmetz, a Wilton Manors based lawyer. A free buffet and half-priced drinks make this both an entertaining and an affordable event. 6 p.m. Blue Martini at the Galleria Mall. 2432 E Sunrise Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, 33304.

television show because he missed stand-up. 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. The Filmore Miami Beach. 1700 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, 33139.

Cabaret South Beach Burlesque oThe burlesque movement continues, not in South Beach, with modern reinterpretations of famous cabarets such as the Tropicana in Havana and the Moulin Rouge in Paris. Renowned nightlife promoter Edison Farrow has partnered with businessman Ed de Caso to bring life to The Cabaret South Beach—a performance venue where singers and musicians entertain audience with live music shows seven days a week. These performers also are the servers and bartenders. The lounge will initially be open seven days a week at 9 p.m. to be followed soon by a Happy Hour piano player who will perform daily from 5 to 9 p.m. 233 12th St, Miami Beach, 33139.

Dave Chappelle

Winterfest Boat Parade

oThe reclusive Dave Chappelle makes a special appearance in South Florida at the historic Fillmore Miami Beach. Audience members have complained about his erratic live performances, including last year when he walked out during a heckler (though Dave Chappelle is known for walking out on very elusive contracts, including a reported $55 million for the third season of The Chappelle’s Show). Either way, if all goes well, Chappelle is famed for his raunchy, satirical humor. Stand-up is his first love, having stated previously that he left his lucrative

oIf you’re looking for a spectacle, the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade may be just what you’re looking for. The 12-mile parade of lighted boats and waterside homes starts on the New River in Fort Lauderdale and travels to the Intracoastal north to Pompano Beach. More than 1 million spectators are expected to watch the parade. The fun begins at 6:30 p.m. For more information visit winterfestparade.com.

THE WEEK Michael McDonald oThe soulful baritone crooner started his career with Steely Dan before jumping ship and energizing his career with The Doobie Brothers, crafting several hits and five Grammy awards. His most famous song, “What a Fool Believes”, should be a power-bottom anthem. His solo career produced even more hit songs, such as “Keen Forgettin’ (Every Time You’re Near)” and “Eyes of a Child” (used in the film South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut). Romance and sappiness go hand in hand, and Mr. McDonald makes the most of the combination. 8 p.m. Adrienne Arscht Center. 1300 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, 33132.

dancers parade around in their holiday’s best. The event will be hosted by the most fabulous Kitty Meow with special guest Deja Devonier. Storks Café Bakery will provide the Hors d’oeuvres, and there will be a 50/50 raffle with prizes. 5 p.m. 540 SE 5th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, 33301.

____________________ Monday

12/16

Itzhak Perlman o The most famous violinist in the world, Itzhak Perlman, has been hitting the high notes for more than 50 years. Known as a great artist, pop-cultural hero, and all-around nice guy, Israeli-American Perlman showcases some of the greatest violin solos around today. He even once performed for the harshest critic: Queen Elizabeth II. Pianist Rohan De Silva accompanies him for tonight’s concert. 2 p.m. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. 701 Okeechobee Blvd, West Palm Beach, 33401.

____________________ Tuesday

12/17

Trace Adkins

Cheech and Chong oWith marijuana legalization on the horizon, Cheech and Chong might feel a sense of loss or alienation with their major distinguishing personality trait about to become much more mainstream. Come watch their dazed, stoked humor before the intense depression of being unimportant kicks in. Richard “Cheech” Marin and Tommy Chong started their career in the late 1970s and 1980s with counterculture humor aimed at the free love generation. Films like “Up in Smoke” and “Still Smokin’” solidified their place as the stand-up comics with the most love for the reefer. Bring your pop-tarts! 7 p.m. Hard Rock Live. 5747 Seminole Way, Hollywood, 33314.

Holiday Tea Cruise o Dancers from Boardwalk, a large body of water, drinks, and holiday lights all combine together for one elegant evening about the Holiday Tea Cruise. Patrons will also be able to view the intercoastal’s beautifully decorated, lighted homes, fresh from the Boat Parade. DJ Maximus 3000 serves up the best dance music as various

o Adkins’ Christmas show comes to South Florida, complete with his country boy persona. Adkins made his debut on the country music scene in 1995 with the album Dreamin’ Out Loud. Since then, monster hits like “Ladies Love Country Boys”, and “You’re Gonna Miss This” have solidified his place on the top of the country music world. More importantly, Adkins has served as a guest on both Hollywood Squares and Pyramid. Even if his game show skills won’t be on display, his voice and Christmas spirit will! 7:30 p.m. Hard Rock Live. 5747 Seminole Way, Hollywood, 33314.

Urban Apparel oNot quite Urban Outfitters: The Musical, but something very close. In this theatrical experience, a group of friends and enemies deal with life, love, and a single defining style that many do not outgrow. The theatrical group The Project sponsors the play along with a grant from the Knight Foundation. The Project hopes to create an energy of controlled danger—a synergy of the unknown that makes the most uniting and engaging theater. Here, hipsters and urbanites alike combine for a truly unforgettable theatrical night. 9 p.m. Adrienne Arscht Center. 1300 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, 33132. guymagtube

TRAVEL

The Reverse Commute: Traveling This Winter by

Rick Karlin

While all the northerners are heading down to sunny Florida and clogging our streets with extra traffic, why not take advantage of some great winter vacation deals? It’s not too early to start planning your winter getaway and Vermont, with its progressive attitudes towards equal rights for all people, is a great place to visit. In 2000, it became the first state to provide civil unions, legally recognizing committed same-sex couples. In 2009, it became the first state to pass a gay marriage law by legislation rather than court order. It’s a place offering a warm winter welcome. Killington, Vermont is hosting its second GLBT Pride celebration, “Killington Winter Pride”, featuring on and off snow events and gatherings. A Winter Pride Package is available for Feb. 28-March 3, 2014 and includes lodging, lift tickets, learn to ski or ride packages and access to all the pride events and activities. The celebration begins with a VIP cocktail party, followed by dinner featuring a variety of surf and turf specialties, a soup and salad bar, and hors d’oeuvres. Later that night the” White OUT” dance, one of the hottest Pride weekend parties, takes place at The Killington Resort. The Pride Slide downhill parade and costume contest on Saturday is followed by an après-ski happy hour at the Long Trail Pub in the Snowshed Lodge. Later that night, it’s the “Wham Bam Rainbow Jam” dance. The weekend winds up with a farewell brunch at Wally’s American Grill, on Sunday, March 2. For more information, go to killington.com/winter/groups/ski_groups_planner/ group_events While not an official part of the weekend’s schedule, when in town, you’ll want to make it a point to check out the Ledgewood Yurt. Seating just 30 people and only accessible by sleigh, this intimate mountainside dining experience is incredible. Book early as it’s certain to sell out during the busy Winter Pride weekend. Call 1-866-809-9147. The Snowed Inn, in Killington, offers two nights lodging and two days ski packages starting at $248.00 per person during weekdays, $317.00 per person on weekends. Stay at Snowed Inn, and they’ll book spa treatments for you at the Spa at the Woods with a 10% discount. Call 800-3115406 or go to snowedinn.com Stowe, Vermont offers the ultimate package for ski lovers, which includes; luxury slope side accommodations and one lift ticket per adult and lodging at Stowe Mountain Lodge, which offers runs for all skill levels. If skiing isn’t your style, you

may want to check out the lodge’s “Stowe-mance Romance” package. Toast to the start of a relaxing weekend with a bottle of bubbly in your room, and melt away the stress from your week with a couples massage and soak in a duet room and private tub. They even include a $100 dining credit so you can indulge in a dinner for two in Solstice restaurant. The package includes a room for two nights for people, a bottle of Vermont Ice Wine and two 50-minute massages. For more information, go to stowemountainlodge.com. There’s a 20% discount if you book by Nov. 22. The Inn at The Round Barn in Waitsfield, Vermont offers a Country Christmas Package from December 15 -26, which includes a room for any four nights during that period (including gourmet breakfast daily), afternoon cookies and hors d’oeuvres by the Inn’s fireplace, a gingerbread making class, a sleigh ride for two and $25 shopping coupons each for participating shops of Waitsfield are included. Prices range from $8501,400. For more information, go to theroundbarn. com.

The Essex Resort

The Essex Resort offers a holiday spa weekend, Dec. 6-8, which includes two night’s accommodations, a welcome reception, $300 credit towards spa services, a “Holiday Hors D’oeuvres & Desserts” class at the Cook Academy, shopping discounts and complimentary shuttle to Burlington’s Church Street Marketplace for holiday shopping. Packages start at $550 per person, double occupancy. For more information call 800-747-4295 or check out essexresortspa.com. While you’re in Vermont, take some time to check out The Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream factory in Waterbury. A 30-minute guided tour includes a company history movie, explanation/view of manufacturing area and ice cream sampling. It’s only $4 for the tour, but you must book ahead.

FITNESS

Super Successful, Pain-Free Workouts: They’re the Best! by Tom

Bonanti

Have you ever wondered if you are doing an exercise correctly, or if the routine you are performing is causing you harm? Physical pain is your body’s way of telling you that something’s wrong. The old saying, “No pain, no gain” is a bunch of macho BS. When something hurts, stop it immediately, breathe deeply and drink some water. Stretch the area slowly and lightly. Assess the situation before continuing your workout. Working out is supposed to improve your quality of life as you build muscle, stamina and self esteem. A certain amount of muscle soreness can be expected when you begin a new program or beef- up a routine with new exercises. This soreness known as Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness (DOMS) usually follows the workout and lasts a day or two. If pain persists several days and grows worse, don’t be too brave to consult a physician. This is especially true for individuals with preexisting joint or muscle issues. You don’t want to do something to make it worse. For certain conditions, by all means, consult your doctor before beginning or restarting your routine. I’m referring here to things like chronic neck pain, shoulder impingement or rotator cuff issues, chronic low back pain and chondromalacia (wearing of the patella). Once you’re diagnosed and treated for one of these ailments, only with your physician’s approval should you return to working out. Most doctors will tell you that with the correct progressive exercise program many of the above conditions can be

guymag.net

theguymag

greatly improved or even eliminated. Here are a few steps you can take to keep strong and pain free for years to come. Don’t forget the importance of a 5-10 minute warm-up before you train. A brief walk to the gym or a few minutes on a recumbent bike can rev-up your metabolism and warm-up joints and muscles preventing injuries. Stretch briefly and lightly before lifting weights. Save more intensive stretching of the muscle group you are working for between sets or after your overall workout. Weight training should be progressive. Begin with a light warm-up set and then progressively challenge your muscles with the next few sets as you add weight gradually and carefully. Keep a journal of the weight you lift. Carefully watch your form as you perform each exercise. Get a good contraction of the muscle during the positive or concentric part of the motion and slow down on the negative or eccentric phase of the repetition. Never rush or jerk as you lift. Your body is a work of art and your workout is one the most important tools you have to shape and sculpt it the way you like. Make sure to perform your exercises in a safe manner to prevent injury in the first place. For more tips on safe pain free workouts contact TrainerTomB@aol.com or call (954) 557-1119.
