Facebook Friends… with Benefits

Karmin

By Jeff Dorta

It’s not like you—and everyone else who uses the social media giant—haven’t already thought about it: Who among your Facebook “friends” could be, you know, more than “just friends.” Guypop.com—a new by-gay-men-for-gay-men website—connects guys with potential dates from within their own inner circle by having them secretly select Facebook friends they would consider hooking up with. With privacy—and your dignity—in mind, guypop.com only reveals the added “interest” to both guys if and when they both select each other. Here’s how it works: 1. Guys connect their Facebook account with Guypop. Guypop.com will never post anything to anyone’s Facebook profile without approval.

2. Guypop.com displays all of a guy’s male friends. Guys simply click the Facebook friends they’re interested in. (Since Facebook doesn’t share sexual orientation, Guypop.com has no way of removing straight men from the list. Clicking the “X” button on a friend’s photo instantly hides him.) 3. Guypop keeps the secret… Guypop.com won’t reveal interest to the Facebook friend who has been selected. 4. …That is, unless the interest is mutual. When both Facebook friends click that they’re interested in the other, Guypop. com will send an email to both guys and let them know. (Where you guys go from there is up to you!) Guypop.com is free and available now at guypop.com. Who couldn’t use more “friends.”

THE SCENE

Boardwalk’s ‘Gay Days’, Rumors’ ‘9’-ers, and Say “Cheese” (Please, Leor) By Rick Karlin

Photo by Dennis Dean

Frankie Santiago and Sean David are raving about Hunkday Wednesdays at Johnny’s. Speaking of Johnny’s, Cole Ferguson is thinking of entering the $1,000 amateur strip contest on March 10. If you want to follow suit (or unsuit, as the case may be), the contest kicks off at midnight. Village Pub is getting a Brazilian! No, they’re not shaving down south—they’re celebrating Brazil’s Carnival on March 18 with live samba shows and delicious Leblon Caipirinhas. Salud! On the subject of VP, Robert Isbell, Richard Coulter, Rich Murphy, and Steve Meenan really enjoy the Trivia contest. The Rainbow Pitchers at The Manor are dangerous. They go down sooooo easy, but have a kick like a mule: Imbibe at your own risk. Joe Foti and friends will be sipping their way through the rainbow when Miss Richfield 1981 hits the venue with her new show on March 22. If you like Tee Jay Thai and Sushi on Facebook, you could win a $50 gift certificate, which will at least help with the bill. Rumors’ “90s after 9” is drawing lots of followers: Bobby Tee, Benjamin-Michael Joseph Antipuna, Matthew Falls and Justin Custard all like it. The Bier Garden may be closed, but watch for the location to reopen with a new name and a new concept. According to the management, “We look forward to the future of re-opening with a great new concept, fresh look, new menu, and a lot of exciting surprises to better serve this great and wonderful town of Wilton Manors.” Speaking of new places, when the hell is New York Grilled Cheese Co. opening? Leor Barak, I’m talking to you. You got us addicted to your frozen yogurt (BTW—was that Misty Eyez chowing down on a gallon or two last week?), now we’re jonesing for a grilled cheese fix. We hear it could be in the next few days. Everyone’s trying to win Boardwalk’s free trip to Orlando Gay Days. Cara Greg, Tony Young, and

“Ruff” and Ready: Ruff Riders men’s wear contest winner Aspen has a firm grip and devilish hot smile.

Stephanie Acosta enjoy Wine Down Wednesdays at Dapur Asian Tapas and Lounge. Kat Riggings is back at The Manor. Tracy Leady says she was roughed up at Pig Dance at Ramrod while there with a friend for his birthday. Gentlemen: act like gentlemen when a lady is present (unless she indicates that she prefers otherwise). On the other hand, Thom Bland, RyLee Spire, Chris Borras, Christopher McHugh, and Randall Robinson had a great time. The warm weather had the patio packed at The Naked Grape with a fairly raucous crowd, which was unusual since those folks are normal so reserved. Steve Williams voted for Alibi for Best Burger at the Besties—as did numerous others—but Courtyard Café walked away with the golden plastic. What, they’re serving up $6 beer buckets at Bill’s? Hey Joe Vicelis, Rodriguez-Figueredo, Mike Romano, and MJRawle: I’m on my way.

THE WEEK

The Week 3/14 to 3/20/2013

‘Rivers’ of Plastic Surgery, Art Walk, and an Equality Gala

The Knockouts (3/15)

By Grant James

Thursday

3/14

Oy Vey! The Battle of the Plastic Surgery Disasters oJoe Posa as Joan Rivers and Thirsty Burlington as Cher) bring a performance of epic proportions to the Village Pub. Get there early for Trivia Nation at 8 p.m., and a chance to win a bar tab, and stay for the show with performances starting at 9:30 p.m. (2283 Wilton Dr., Wilton Manors).

Harlem Shake It at Men’s Night Out oThe popular Men’s Night Out event is a thinly— a funly!—disguised excuse for gay men living in South Florida to socialize and network face to face. We say: More! More! More! This time, it coincides with The Manor’s Trivia Night for a special Harlem Shake Edition. Come down and participate in a 30-second shoot for a local edition of the extremely popular viral trend, the Harlem Shake.

Come with the most ridiculous outfit or costume you can find and dance around like an escaped mental patient for 30 seconds. Sounds easy, no? At 7 p.m., at The Manor Restaurant and Entertainment Complex (2345 Wilton Dr., Wilton Manors).

____________________ Friday

3/15

Glenn Douglas Packard, entrepreneur and choreographer par excellence (not to mention Brooke Hogan bestie) presents The Knockouts oA fun burlesque review that runs Fridays now through March 29.

THE WEEK Flashdance at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts (3/15)

Can You Flash That on Broadway?

Ultra es La Ultima

oBefore she was on “The L-Word,” Jennifer Beals danced onto movie screens and into our hearts in the popular 80s dance movie “Flashdance,” which has been transformed into a musical. Slide on your leg warmers, toss on a cut up shirt, and catch the “maniac” welder Alex Owens as she proves that “Feeling’s believing” (what a feeling). At 8 p.m., at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts (201 SW 5 Ave., Fort Lauderdale).

oUltra Music Festival kicks off this year’s premier two-weekend electronic event with the likes of Swedish House Mafia, Afrojack, Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox, Paul Van Dyk, Crystal Castles, and oh-somany more. The party continues all weekend, and return for an additional 3 days the following weekend. Tickets for the second weekend are already sold out, yo, so get yours for the first weekend before they’re all gone. At 5 PM at Bayfront Park (301 Biscayne Blvd, Miami).

Paint the Town oIsland City Art Walk returns for your monthly chance to support Gayborhood artists. In addition to this month’s outstanding featured artists and exhibits, local body artist Jamie Murcia will be painting live models (who will be almost nude; underwear will be provided by Andrew Christian), a little something to whet your appetite while you walk around and drink in the arts and culture (and libations). At 7 p.m., at venues and locations along Wilton Drive, Wilton Manors.

____________________ Saturday

3/16

Ru Who? It’s Madame Laqueer oStraight—so to speak—from “Ru Paul’s Drag Race,” Season 4, Madame Laqueer performs at this special event for Noche Latina Saturdays. The self-described “Great White Mami” calls herself “a weird and gay man dressed as a woman,” and says that the ‘La’ in her name “was added before Queer, because it made it sound cuter in French. Voila!” Sounds good to us. It’s also a last chance to say buh-bye to hottie bartender Josh, who is NYC-bound. At 10:30 p.m., at The Manor (2345 Wilton Drive, Wilton Manors).

THE WEEK Diplo and Friends oDiplo (real name Thomas Wesley Pentz) is one of the world’s biggest DJs/producers. He’s worked with everyone from Beyoncé to Usher, and is one half of the Jamaican dancehall duo, Major Lazer. Join Diplo and some of his nearly-endless roster of A-list friends, listen to some good music, and be ready for some surprises. At 10 p.m., at Grand Central (697 N. Miami Ave., Miami).

Art Fundraiser for Valyn Calhoun oGreen Room (formerly China White) will host a fundraiser for local gay artist Valyn Calhoun, who was diagnosed with AIDS earlier this year, and has been struggling to pay for his treatment and his hospital bills. Valyn will be selling selections from photographic art and other art pieces on the entire bottom level of the venue, with all profits from the night benefitting him. At 10 p.m., at Green Room Nightclub (109 SW 2 Ave., Fort Lauderdale).

____________________ Tuesday Mos’ Def(tones) oThe alternative metal band Deftones have been making music since 1988 (releasing their first album in 1995), and they’ve have gained a pretty devoted fan base. The band has released seven albums, and rose to critical acclaim after their third LP, “White Pony,” in 2000. They’re known to put on an amazing live show, packing the room with rocker fans who’ve followed them for years and will continue for years to come. The reason? Lead singer Chino Moreno’s impressive vocals, which go from melodic tenor to screaming rocker in 0 to 60. At 8 p.m., at the Fillmore Miami Beach (1700 Washington Ave., Miami).

Wednesday

Sunday

She Loves Rock ‘n’ Roll

3/17

Sláinte! It’s St. Patrick’s Day Equality Florida Puts the “Gay” in Gala oThe fundraiser for Equality Florida, the largest civil rights organization dedicated to securing full equality for Florida’s LGBT community, will also celebrate the efforts of this year’s award honorees: 2013 Presidential Inaugural Poet Richard Blanco, co-founder and Executive Director of Safe Schools South Florida Robert Loupo, and community volunteer David Bloom. Enjoy a fun evening, celebrate an important cause, and honor these heroes. At 5:30 p.m., at the Bass Museum of Art (2100 Collins Ave., Miami Beach).

––––––––––––––––––– Monday 3/18 What’s That Under Your Kilt? oThe award-winning Lord of the Dance celebrates Celtic dance and music in both traditional and modern forms. Described as “a showpiece extravaganza” and “fascinating, rewarding, and above all, entertaining,” the production spans nearly two-dozen scenes, and features the folkloric story of good vs. evil as told through dancing. Those crazy Irish. At 8 p.m., at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts (701 Okeechobee Blvd., West Palm Beach).

3/19

3/20

oCan you $#@%ing believe that Joan Jett is 54? The “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” singer is still belting out those angsty notes and shredding the guitar like you couldn’t even imagine. Most recently, she was nominated as an inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (how is it even possible that the Queen of Rock isn’t already in there?) At 8 p.m., at Hard Rock Live (1 Seminole Way, Hollywood).

We Think He’s Happy oSinger, songwriter, poet, and novelist Leonard Cohen was described by Velvet Underground alum Lou Reed as “without question one of the most important and influential songwriters Leonard of our time.” Cohen’s Cohen works are known (3/20) for their reoccurring themes of love, sex, depression, social justice, and religion. At his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Reed said that Cohen’s “body of work achieves greater mystery and depth as time goes on.” Hallelujah. At 8 p.m., at the James L. Knight Center (400 SE 2 Ave., Miami).

New River Grill and Pizza By Richard David Chamberlain

A funny thing happened on the way to New River Grill & Pizza. The restaurant was dark, the lights were out, and we thought for the briefest of moments that this well-known neighborhood eatery had breathed its last gasp. That’s when we paused long enough to read the sign on the front door directing us to spin 180 degrees and look across the street. There on the corner of SE 7th Street and South Federal Highway glowed the NEW New River Grill & Pizza, now enlarged, packed and obviously thriving. wont, but the burger itself is the star here.

TRAVEL

Anchorage, Alaska Where Men Are Men, Even Dressed in Drag By Robert Elias Deaton

It’s currently 38 degrees in Anchorage, Alaska. While there are those who appreciate a certain briskness in the air, we are not among them, and save our visits to this frontier outpost city until July, when the average afternoon sees plenty of sunshine and a high of about 76 degrees. Regardless of the time of year, however, Anchorage belies its reputation at nearly every turn. While Alaska in general is said to have an abundance of men, in Anchorage the split between male and female is 50-50. Think of it as rural, and be surprised to discover the 5th Avenue Mall (320 W 5th Ave.), a four-story, 440,000 square indoor shopping plaza with the town’s only Abercrombie and Fitch, Coach, Apple, Teavana, Banana Republic and bebe stores, as well as a branch of JC Penney and Nordstrom. Hotels in Anchorage run the gamut to be sure, but there is an amazingly convenient Embassy Suites Hotel (600 E Benson Blvd.) which not only provides a separate bedroom, free breakfast, parking, Internet, and afternoon drinks, but is only two miles from the hub of gay life in the northern part of the city. Trust us when we say, you can pay a lot more and get a lot less when you are in the shadow of Mount McKinley (which is actually a five hour drive away, but is so high, it appears quite clearly in the distance).

guymag.net

Speaking of driving, by all means rent a car during your visit. Even if you go in the winter months, you won’t need snow tires or chains since Anchorage is located on a glacier outwash plain, is fairly flat, and the roads are impeccably maintained. Travel during the summer, and you’ll definitely want to venture forth and see some of the glorious wide open spaces available in our 49th state. The gay clubs—yes, there ARE gay clubs in Anchorage—are in the northern edge of the city, in the direction of the airport. Mad Myrna’s (530 E 5th Ave) is the biggest club in town, featuring the obligatory drag shows and very strong drinks, as well as a restaurant that is open until the wee hours. Nothing like a little food in the belly before staggering home. Close by you’ll find the area’s gay bears, Daddies, and cubs ‘round the bar at The Raven (708 E 4th Ave). Think lumberjacks-meet-Boardwalk dancers and you’ve got the picture. While smaller in size than Mad Myrna’s, The Raven has its share of diehard fans who wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. A half-mile away is Bernie’s Bungalow (626 D St.), which isn’t exactly a gay bar, but it’s included here because it’s close enough to the real thing to qualify. Bernie’s has what would be known in any other city as a metrosexual clientele. In Sarah Palin country, they call it “tolerant.” Call it what you may, Bernie’s is a great place with rather fascinating customers. Enuff said. Getting to Anchorage from Fort Lauderdale is a one-stop 14-hour flight. The most convenient route is on American Airlines through Dallas/Fort Worth, where there is a three-hour delay between flights. It takes nearly seven hours to fly from Dallas non-stop to Anchorage, so bring lots of books or appropriate movies. The cost in coach is $656.00 round trip. A first class seat on the same plane is just over $4,000—including food—alas, a luxury you don’t get in coach unless you’re willing to spring $$ for your spring rolls.

HEALTH

Moo-ving in the Wrong Direction Our Love Affair with Meat By Andy Kress

Red meat consumption in the U.S. is declining, down to 166 pounds per person in 2012. Yet, that still represents a half-pound per day of red meat for every man, woman, and child in this country—nearly double the global average. As a result, our society is plagued with many detrimental health repercussions. COPD, heart disease, cancer and a wide array of other diseases are now commonplace, often due to people using primitive thinking about food for our evolved bodies. As time continues to pass, we are not learning to cut back our meat consumption as a nation. Our bodies do not need to hunt, track, wrestle, and take down this evening’s meal, so the need to eat such a heavy portion of any meat, but especially red meat, seems out of sync with evolution. Heath risks combined with the environmental impacts of feeding and caring for all of this livestock are a major concern. Raising cattle for America’s red meat is the least efficient means possible for obtaining protein, especially when you consider what is required to produce just one pound of the stuff. Most beef cattle are corn fed, and the last time we checked, corn farmers used lots of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides to produce the vegetable, at the same time feeding it a ton of water. The extra chemicals drain down into the rivers and waterways that often feed our reservoirs. Additionally, in times of drought, corn is more expensive, driving the size of cattle herds lower and the price of beef higher. Cattle herds are kept healthy with antibiotics. These antibiotics are then saturated into the beef that we eat. Studies suggest that over time, antibiotic resistance occurs in bacteria, which is becoming one of modern medicine’s greatest problems. Another serious byproduct of beef cattle is methane gas. Methane is many times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide will ever be, and is a major contributor to global warming. The primary source of methane gas in the world is from beef cattle emissions. But beef is hardly the only culprit here. Domestically-raised chicken or pork is also pushing the healthy envelope right along with beef. All of these animals are fed a horrific diet to maximize produc-

tion and weight gain. While it may make good business sense to fatten animals up to get more money per pound when the animal goes to market, the fattening of these animals puts more saturated fat in the meat that we all are consuming on a regular basis. That fat, in turn, helps to bring about America’s number one killer, cardiovascular disease. America cannot afford to corrupt its healthcare system with the ever-growing amount of heart disease cases related to overeating meat. We as a nation need to take the time to recognize why all these diseases are increasing, and stop them at the root of the problem. The easiest way to fix these problems is through education about food groups that allow our evolved species to remain at its healthiest. A proper diet is the best defense for preventing health problems in America. Remember, it is never too late to learn anything, especially when it comes to your health. Now that you have been enlightened to all the facts above, please take the time to think about your choice when binging on your next greasy burger, vat of killer chicken wings, or that deep fried pork roll. The choice is yours to make.
