COVER

Miami Beach Gay Pride 2014 by

Grant James

Last year’s Miami Beach Gay Pride Festival was a stunning success. For the first time ever, Miami Beach Gay Pride took to an elaborate, festive Beach Party like never seen before. Like last year, this year’s festival features sun, surf, sand, international DJs, live entertainment, and of course, parties. More than 100 LGBT-friendly vendors and businesses, exciting celebrities, musical performances, and refreshments will be on hand for Pride-goers.

Thursday 4/10 VIP Kick-Off

Kick off Thursday night in style with a meetand-greet with Pride Grand Marshal Gloria Estefan. Hosted by Lea Black and Elaine Lancaster, this red carpet event will honor Miami Beach Pride’s original Executive Director and community activist, Cindy Brown. Expect cabaret acts, light hors d’oeurves and cocktails at this lush kick-off party. 8 p.m. W South Beach. 2201 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, 33139.

Friday 4/11 Mova’s Block Party

Mova will be hosting a Friday Night Block Party this year, as they close off streets to bring together crowds of people to enjoy the sounds of internationally renowned DJs Tracy Young and La Trice. No cover! 7 p.m. 1625 Michigan Ave and Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach, 33139.

Saturday 4/12 Beach Party

Now in its second year, the Saturday Pride

guymag.net

theguymag

Beach Party is a free event for all to attend. Taking place at Lummus Park, the event boasts “sun, surf, sand, international DJs, and, of course, cocktails!” Sounds by DJ Deanne and DJ Brett Henrichsen. 2 p.m. 11th St and Ocean Dr, Miami Beach, 33139.

SuperURGE at Score

The official men’s event of Saturday night, SuperURGE, is sure to draw a huge crowd this year, hence the addition of the word “super.” DJ Abel and Brazilian DJ Paulo Pacheco will be spinning the hottest dance music Saturday night to a room full of eager men; We’re pretty sure you won’t want to miss this event. 10 p.m. Score. 1437 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, 33139.

Sunday 4/13 6th Annual Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade & Festival The main event of the weekend, is of course, the parade. Who doesn’t want to see people in outrageous costumes? 2013’s parade allegedly had 80,000 spectators, and we’re assuming this year will be even bigger. Gloria Estefan and Kenny Ortega are the Pride Grand Marshalls, so expect some Miami flare! After the parade ends at approximately at 1 p.m., head to the concert stage to see performances by current Drag Race competitor Courtney Act (check out her interview in this week’s issue), Lady Bunny and emcee Elaine Lancaster. 12 p.m. Ocean Drive from 7th to 15th St (Parade), and Lummus Park (Stage). Miami Beach, 33139. For tickets or additional information, check out miamibeachgaypride.com. guymagtube

#DWTSFS UPDATE

Dancing with the South Florida Stars Meet the Teams- Part 2 by

Grant James

Each year, Dancing with the South Florida Stars puts your favorite local entertainers under one roof to compete for the win. The reason the event is so entertaining is because the participants (some experienced, some not) train and practice for one month before the performance, much like Dancing with the Stars. The twist, is seeing your favorite locals cut the rug like never before. Maybe you’ll see your favorite bartender from Village Pub perform the salsa. Or what if your preferred dancer from Boardwalk is going to be doing the tango? Dancing with the South Florida Stars will also be presenting Peter Jackson with the “Making a Difference Health and Wellness Community Leadership Award” this year. The event is sure to bring memories, and from now until the event on April 21, we’ll be unveiling each team for readers.

Village Pub

The Village Pub has become a staple of gay community, providing the community with a friendly local bar that can still get wall-to-wall packed on Friday nights. The Wilton bar has fast become the go-to place almost any time of the week. The staff is welcoming and fun, the atmosphere is eclectic, and the bar attracts people from all walks of life. In addition to the bar’s weekly happy hour (Monday to Saturday until 9 p.m.), they have live shows, an open air patio, and multiple TV screens to enjoy both music videos and sports alike. Representing Village Pub in the competition are Jerry Selano and the lovely Ashley Blake. Jerry Selano, a bartender at Village Pub, is promising some serious salsa moves from his performance this year. “We’re working on our salsa moves,” Selano told us. “We’re here to have fun most importantly! We’re very excited.” Village Pub has a 400 square foot dance floor, and some nights it can get pretty busy on said dance floor, you know, in case you’re feeling frisky. It also has a stage behind the bar that is used for great live shows hosted by local talent.

Wilton Manors Development Alliance

The goal of the Wilton Manors Development Alliance is to create an environment on Wilton Drive where “commerce, art and housing enthusiastically coexist and provide mutual nourishment.” The program advocates improvements in four

theguymag

areas, to create a positive, distinctive image and economic success for downtown Wilton Manors. Organization: Working with public and private sector community leaders to develop consensus and coordinate resources to revitalize downtown. Marketing: Creating and marketing a positive image of downtown through special events, retail sales, effective advertising and public relations. Design: Encouraging quality building rehabilitation and construction, signage, public improvements and window displays to improve the appearance of downtown. Economic Development: Improving the economic base of downtown by strengthening existing businesses, recruiting new businesses and filling vacancies. In short, the WMDA is seeking to keep the small town charm while creating a sophisticated, urban area that can thrive and grow. Representing the alliance for the event will be Krishan Manners, a realtor and business developer. Manners may be a familiar name within the community, but here’s one thing you may not know about him: He’s participating in this event with no dancing experience. That’s right, Manners is excited to be training and learning the routine from scratch. “I have no experience dancing whatsoever,” Manners says. “I’m coming into this with no training or preparation.” Manners partner for the competition, Velvet LaNore, a drag queen with a lot of entertainment experience. We aren’t sure what they’ll be singing yet, but we’re sure it will be a memorable moment!

Guy Magazine

We here at Guy Magazine like to have a little fun as well sometimes. Maybe we kick off our shoes, put on our velour sweatpants and watch Scandal, or maybe we head to the club and dance until exhaustion. Representing Guy Magazine in the competition will be Frank Campisano and Angeliki Pilioras. Campisano, a dancer and dance teacher, is enthusiastic about the competition. “I’ve always wanted to do this event, ever since the first show,” Campisano says. “I’m so glad to have this opportunity.” His partner, Pilioras, has been performing at multiple venues in the area, earning recognition for her famed fire dancing.

Lady Bunny, Karmin and Men’s Life Drawing ____________________ Thursday

4/10

Comic Relief oFor decades, the Second City comedy troupe has been providing the country with some of the greatest comedians. Many Second City players become Saturday Night Live performers and then, finally, have successful film careers. Examples of Second City players include Gilda Radner, Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Chris Farley, Tina Fey, Bill Murray, and many more. The current troupe has taken their act on the road, performing Happily Ever After—a medley of scenes, songs, and improvisation. Come see the comedy kings and queens of tomorrow. 7:30 p.m. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. 701 Okeechobee Blvd, West Palm Beach, 33401.

Modeling Contract Available oEvery gay man dreams of the day in which his peers finally approve of his worth as a human being. Sometimes that approval may be in the form of guymag.net

career respect, a leadership position, or, most often, the approval of their looks. What better way to find that self-esteem than to become a model? Sidelines is offering the gay man’s dream of a lifetime: to win a modeling contract through their Model Mayhem competition. Starting tonight, the competition includes $100 cash prizes each week and ends win the grand prize package: a 1 year modeling contract, the cover of this very magazine, and $3500 in cash and prizes. 10 p.m. Sidelines. 2031 Wilton Dr, Wilton Manors, 33305.

Evita oEvita has had a long history of helping the careers of musical superstars. Both Patti Lupone and Mandi Patinkon achieved success through the original Broadway production. Madonna was given somewhat acting credibility when she won a Golden Globe in the film version. Now, the classic musical arrives at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical revolves around the life of famous Argentinian first lady Evita Peron as she rises from the bottom of the working class to the lavish lifestyle afforded by her marriage to Juan THE WEEK continues on page 42 theguymag

Draw Nude Men Live oIt may have been a cheesy signal of romantic tension in the film Titanic, yet drawing a nude model does have its appeal. For one, the artist is able to stare at a nude form for lengthy periods of time. For another, it’s interesting watching the model maintain said nude pose. And finally, there’s also the whole showing off your art skills thing. Once a month, a fun group of guys get together to draw two nude male models for both short and long poses. All levels are welcome. Bring art supplies for drawing, painting, charcoal, pencil, or even watercolor. Guest artists from the community will also be in attendance. Monthly Men’s Life Drawing Event. 3 p.m. Leather Werks. 1226 NE 4th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, 33304.

Karmin oAmy Heidemann and Nick Noonan created a viral sensation in April of 2011 when they posted a killer cover of “Look at Me Now” on YouTube. Hip-hop heavy-hitters like The Roots’ Questlove, and rapper The Game marveled at Amy’s instant talent—especially since she is only a young girl from Nebraska. Three years later Amy and her partner Nick are touring the country, performing on Saturday Night Live, and ready to release their debut album. Tonight, the strange mix of Nebraskan, corn-fed country girliness and rap combine. 8 p.m. Revolution Live. 100 SW 3rd Ave, Fort Lauderdale, 33312.

The exhibition will show all the different letter-writing forms, such as poems and postcards. Also included are crafts, lacquer writing boxes, ink stones, brushes, elegant papers, and other forms of stationery. 10 a.m. Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. 4000 Morikami Park Rd, Delray Beach, 33446.

TRAVEL

Summer Camp by

Rick Karlin

Summer vacations are always a good opportunity for camp, and I don’t mean the kind with tents and sleeping bags. Writer Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay “Notes on Camp” described its key elements as, “artifice, frivolity, naïve middle-class pretentiousness, and ‘shocking’ excess”. I’m not certain if that is a complete definition, but to paraphrase United States Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s description of pornography, “I may not be able to describe camp, but I know it when I see it.” A trip across the country offers plenty of opportunities to see sites that almost drip with Sontag’s requirements of naïve middle-class pretentiousness, and ‘shocking’ excess. How else could you explain, a house made of corn (or beer cans, or soda bottles), Graceland or Dollywood? Those are all easy targets, but I’m a fan of really bad public art. Public art and culture depicting pop culture icons are right up my alley or highway or dirt road. If you’re looking for something to do this summer you could do worse than this driving trip to see the campiest pop culture statues and museums in the U.S. First stop Atlanta. There’s nothing campier than a company that takes itself too seriously, and a visit to the Coca Cola Museum will give you a fit of the giggles. “Experience the rich story of the unique of World of Coca-Cola” through this interactive experience complete with video highlights, images and descriptions. Next stop Philadelphia. Skip the cheesesteak sandwiches and run up the 72 stone steps to the Philadelphia Museum, just like Rocky. During the filming of Rocky III, Sylvester Stallone commissioned a bronze statue of Rocky, which was briefly situated at the top of the steps. After filming was completed, a debate arose between the Art Museum and Philadelphia’s Art Commission over the meaning of “art.” City officials, argued that the statue was not “art” but a “movie prop”, and moved and the statue to the bottom of the steps. Now let’s head to the city that doesn’t sleep and the gleaming sculpture of Andy Warhol that towers above Union Square, in New York City, right across from the building where his Factory was located. Seven feet tall, cast in concrete, and covered in chrome, could you get more glitzy, gaudy and glamorous? Oh sure you

can, put a Bloomingdale’s shopping bag in his hand! In 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, 25 people were either executed or died after being falsely accused of witchcraft. It remains one of the darkest black marks in American history. So what does the city do to improve its image? It erects a statue of a more recent witch, Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha from the sixties sitcom Bewitched! There may be other campy landmarks between Salem and Wisconsin, but I doubt anything can top The Bronze Fonz located on Milwaukee’s Riverwalk. The statue depicts Henry Winkler as the Happy Days TV show character Arthur “Fonzie”Fonzarelli, posing in his leather jacket and jeans, giving his signature two-handed thumbs up gesture. Hey! From there it’s just a hop, skip and a toss of the Tam o’Shanter to the Mary Tyler Moore statue in Minneapolis, where Mar’ is caught in the middle of casting her hat into the air on Nicolette Mall. Next stop is the Potato Museum in Blackfoot, Idaho. Yep, an entire museum devoted to the spud. Not only does it have the world’s largest Pringle, but also a picture of Marilyn Monroe posing in a potato sack, a potato autographed by Dan Quayle (remember he famously misspelled potato) and a burlap fashion show. Blackwells Corner in Lost Hills, California, was the last place Dean stopped before his fatal accident. It’s also the site of a vintage gas station and gift shop memorializing the star as well as the historic nature of the place. Our last stop is California, where’s there’s no shortage of campy destinations. There’s The Chinese Theater where you check the foot and hand prints of stars of the past or Hollywood Boulevard for the Walk of Fame, but my favorite camp locale is Palm Springs. In this gay oasis in the desert head over to Palm Canyon Drive, and step back in time. The street is lined with kitschy costume shops, dinner theaters and tacky but terrific souvenir vendors and now… the Forever Marilyn statue, a gigantic recreation of Ms. Monroe’s notorious scene from The Seven-Year Itch, undies and all. Enjoy your camping trip and don’t forget to stop by the gift shop on your way out.

Are You Getting Enough Sleep? by Tom

Bonanti

Your time in the sack could very well be the most important part of your day. The proper amount of quality sleep will improve your performance at work, cause you to recover and grow after rigorous workouts, and help you maintain that sweet disposition all day long! By the way, experts say 8 to 10 hours per night is a great place to start. Yet, according to a 2012 study by the Better Sleep Council (BSC), 47 percent of adults would like to improve the quality of their sleep and 37 percent feel that they do not get enough sleep. This means that a good majority of the population is roaming about all day like the “living dead”, irritable, dazed and sleep deprived. Your time on your back is important to you, so make sure you have a mattress that meets your needs for comfort, support and space. Ask yourself the following questions: Do you wake up with pain, stiffness and soreness? Are you not sleeping as well as you were a year ago? Was your best night’s sleep somewhere other than your own bed? Does your mattress show visible signs of wear and tear? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you probably need to go mattress shopping. You can greatly improve the quality of your sleep by investing in a sleep set that will meet your needs for comfort and support. Besides sleeping on a good mattress and foundation, here is a list of other tips to help you get the sleep you need and deserve.

Your “ZZZ” List

1. Watch what you eat, as well as the timing of your meals and snacks. Try not to eat within 3 hours of retiring. Sleeping on a full stomach is a sure prescription a restless night, acid reflux, and for storing more body fat. Avoid sugary foods all day long beginning with breakfast and every meal throughout the day. 2. Don’t smoke and reduce alcohol and caffeine intake. Smoking and drinking booze or coffee before bedtime can cause interrupted and fragmented sleep. They will also wreak havoc with your blood pressure, especially if you already have issues in this area. 3. Give yourself “permission” to fall asleep. Make sleep a priority. Sleep in a cool, quiet, dark room, free from TV’s, computers and cell phones. 4. Keep regular hours and develop a sleep ritual. A warm bath, a cup of tea and a regular bedtime and wakeup time help your body look forward to healthy patterns. 5. Exercise regularly. Cardio and weight training are excellent for relieving daily stress and tension, building muscle and burning fat. Yet even a simple brisk walk after dinner can work wonders for your body and mind. Your life is demanding more from you everyday. Your time in the sack each night can be used for better activities than tossing and turning restlessly… make sure sleep is one of them!
