¡Viva Día del Trabajo! By DAMION ROGERS

THE BEAUTIFUL ADONIS GAY BEACH RESORT, IN RIVIERA MAYA

exico is a pioneering country in gay civil rights. Its capital, Mexico City, was the first district in Latin America to legalize same-sex marriage. The Mexican state of Quinta Roo is about to legalize marriage equality, too – and it’s throwing a fiesta to celebrate! The Caribbean Heat party will take place Labor Day weekend in Riviera Maya, a spot renowned throughout the world for its beautiful turquoise water, white sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, and ancient Mayan ruins. “Caribbean Heat draws inspiration from the spectacular festivals of Europe,” explains event founder Oliver Stevanovic. “In addition to partying the days and nights away, gay men can relax, soak in the sun, and tour ancient archeological sites, including the nearby Chichen Itza, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.” The celebration will feature over thirteen dance parties, including the Ying and Yang pool parties, a Speedo event, and a Manhunt-sponsored extravaganza. All parties will take place at the luxurious, all-inclusive, Adonis Gay Beach Resort, a luxury spa located on the oceanfront of one the most beautiful beaches along the Riviera Maya. It stands directly in front of the world´s second largest barrier reef. “There will be live acts and shows, go-go dancers, and an amazing last night´s fireworks display,” adds Stevanovic. “The entire week will be an unforgettable experience that is sure to end summer 2012 with a bang.” Stevanovic says that daily, all-inclusive VIP passes

By DUNCAN ST. THIBAULT

Short Cuts Get your Summer on with these tracks that are perfect for whatever the HEAT has in store.

DIRTY PROJECTORS: “Swing Lo Magellan”

ront man David Longstreth’s distinctive sound—the band is often likened to newwave faves David Byrne and Squeeze, as well as pop goddesses Mariah Carey and Beyoncé—and use of arrangements and lofi/hi-fi production techniques are presentand-accounted-for, with sweet-as-honey harmonies and just the right amount of cognitive dissonance to amp you up for some Sunday afternoon touch football.

HOT CHIP: “In Our Heads”

he Brit dance music group has a sense of humor—and rhythm—with a new-wave throwback sound that will have the neighbors calling the cops, and ill electronic beats that will have you dancing back for more.

he Crown Prince of R&B turns up the sexy for his seventh album. Track “Climax” scored at Number One on the R&B charts even before the LP’s release last month. You can almost believe Ursh is singing just to you when he belts out his “mm-mm-good”est falsetto, luring you back into bed for one more round. Continued on Page 36

NENEH CHERRY AND THE THING: “The Cherry Thing”

JUSTIN BIEBER: “Believe”

he Beebs turned 18 this year (sorry, pedohs—and daddy-chasers, for that matter), and he hit 25 MILLION Twitter followers last month (that’s 6 million more than the entire population of New York State, Yo). On the album’s first single, “Boyfriend,” Jussy talks about all the things he’d do if he was yours. Is there a downside to this? JUSTIN BIEBER

he half-Swedish/half-Sierra Leonean singer-songwriter-rapper (and halfsister of half-Swedish/half-African American musician Eagle-Eye Cherry) is best known for her 1988 hit “Buffalo Stance,” which packed the dance floor at many a Club Caribbean Resort T-Dance. Her new collaboration with Scandinavian jazz trio The Thing—who take their name from a track performed by Neneh’s stepfather, the late jazz cornetist Don Cherry— includes a cover of one of her Pop’s songs, as well selections from odd hip-hoppers Madvillain, and Big Apple punkers Suicide.

Wouldn’t That Make Her a “Fag

Hag ?”

recently-released clip from Lifetime TV’s “Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp” shows 3-yearold Tripp Palin muttering an anti-gay slur, after his Aunt Willow refuses him a trip to the swimming pool. In the clip, Auntie Willow and Mamma B gasp in shock, before breaking out into moronic giggles, when the toddler’s tirade ends in him calling his mom’s 17-yearold sis a “faggot.” You might recall that Willow sparked her own controversy in 2010, when she referred to a classmate on Facebook as “so gay,” and “such a faggot.” The rotten apple (even a cute one) doesn’t fall far...

Married, with Gay Children

members ast from ABC’s megahit sitcom “Modern Family” filed suit last week in Los Angeles Superior Court to void their contracts. Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, Sofia Vergara, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Eric Stonestreet (who stars, with Ferguson, as gay partners Cameron and Mitchell) made their move amid a salary-standoff that had delayed the start of shooting on the series’ fourth season. Sources say that star Ed O’Neill joined castmates as in the suit. Although O’Neill is paid on a different salary-scale, he reportedly had his own salary beef with 20th TV. It was announced on Friday that cast-members had resolved their differences with producers, and will reportedly receive significant—though undisclosed—pay bumps. Millionaire Workers of the World, Unite!

Same-Species Divorce “We get the feeling they can’t stand the sight of each other.” - Helga Happ, zookeeper at the Klagenfurt Zoo, Austria, after the separation of two 115-year-old giant turtles—Bibi and Poldi, mates for over a century—that were on the verge of killing each other.

America’s First Gay Astronaut

A Guy Who Needs a Haircut? Them’s Fighting Words!

he eldest son of Hollywood power couple Warren Beatty and Annette Bening has opened up publicly—on YouTube—about his transition from female to male. Stephen Ira Beatty, 20—who was born Kathlyn Elizabeth Beatty—calls himself “a trans-man, a faggy queen, a homosexual, a queer, a nerd fighter, a writer, an artist, and a guy who needs a haircut.” The younger Beatty, a sophomore at Sarah Lawrence College in New York, blogs for WeHappyTrans.com.

In the final line of an obituary cowritten with her partner, Tam O’Shaughnessy, they disclosed their relationship “of 27 years”—and nothing else. The space shuttle alumnus Challenger makes history as both the first American woman in space, and the first openly LGBT person (that we know of) to touch the face of Heaven. Ride, Sally, ride.

Adam & Ease By ADAM STRONG

have always loved visiting the seashore, and the ocean—neither of which has anything to do with living in beautiful South Florida, where we have “the beach.” There is something evocative about “the shore:” It conjures images of the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, of Far Rockaway Beach, Martha’s Vineyard—and yes, Heaven help us, Snookie and “The Situation,” of reality television lame, er, fame. Bringing the best of that oceanside élan to your home decorating scheme is fast, fun, and frugal (three of my favorite “F’s”). The great thing, too, about living in South Florida is that a surf-andshore theme actually “goes with the territory”—unlike, say, trying to gussy up a home in Minnesota to make it look like a Waikiki bait shack.

BY THE SEA, BY THE BEAUTIFUL SEA

Driftwood, seashells, sand dollars, shark teeth, and other nick-nacks arranged in a wooden bowl come together as a charming and fun-to-collect beachy centerpiece.

SHAPE YOUR BOOTY

The treasures you find lying around the beach are given new life and purpose when you use interesting shells, pieces of driftwood, sea stars—or “starfish,” both describe echinoderms, belonging to the class Asteroidea (eat THAT, Mr. Terwilliger—sorry, high school biology class flashback), sand dollars, and other oceanside bounty to add rustic warmth to a kitchen or hallway. Use them to build a themed display next to glass containers, wicker baskets, and small wooden crates.

SOFT—WHAT LIGHT THROUGH YONDER WINDOW BREAKS?

Use a white gauze curtain to disperse daylight, creating a soft, lazy effect. The curtain also acts as a lit-backdrop for anything you set in front of it, including a single-toned wooden chair. The effect gracefully reveals the window beyond, so a single panel will do the trick, as long as it is lengthy enough to pool romantically on the floor.

LIGHTEN UP

Raw wood and wicker baskets, a wooden table or metal steamer chest in place of a coffee table, cotton rugs, and sunlight pouring in from an uncovered window come together to replicate the warmth and inviting feel of a vacation house on the shore.

PILLOW TALK

Layering natural cottons and linens on your bedding provides no-fuss, relaxing comfort. Using white sheets will prevent the bed from looking sloppy and unkempt.

LET THERE BE LIGHT

Choose a spot that you walk past all day and “summer-ize” it. Use “open” elements—like see-through lamps, X- (or “scissor”-) chairs, and seashell garlands—let sunlight through and add an airy, ethereal mood. Careful use of bare space opens up a room.

FOR THE SHELL OF IT

hells can be used for so many purposes, and in so many ways, to add an oceanside feel to any room or entryway.

• Art Display: Use hanging plastic cubes to build your own mini-art gallery to exhibit the life aquatic. Display some of your favorite beach bounty (sea stars, sand dollars, shells), and mix things up when it strikes your fancy.

• The Captain’s Journal: Glue a sea star or a flat shell to a fabric-covered notebook, and you have your own Captain’s Journal Log: Use it to chronicle your own shore-side adventures, and to collect pictures—and beach goodies, like small pieces of driftwood or flat shells—from your seaside experiences.

• Planters (with Punch): Fill a shell with the appropriate soil and drop in succulent plants. They only need to be watered when the soil is dry, and then just a little H2O at a time.

guy magazine

• Seasons in the Sun: Serve coarse sea salt and ground pepper on the half-shell, in these elegant vessels which add a nice touch (with little effort) to your next summer outdoor—or al fresco—meal. Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: Craft a mirror frame using seashells of all shapes and sizes. Here’s how: • You will need a framed mirror, a paintbrush, white craft glue, and seashells of various sizes. By using similarly shaped pieces— like sea urchins or sand dollars—and a limited palette, you will make the piece look harmonious. • Use the larger pieces first, placing them around the frame, and filling in the open spaces with the smaller elements. A paintbrush will make it easier to apply the glue to the shells, and can mold to catch uneven contours. • With a picture hook and a hammer, hang the mirror, or else lean it on top of a dresser, on a hallway table, or anyplace else you would like to evoke a shore-side vibe. Now, what time is the clambake?

Guy Dining By RICHARD DAVID CHAMBERLAIN

asked in the guise of a neighborhood pizza parlor, Fort Lauderdale Pizza & Pasta is a family-run trattoria that divines some angelic dishes beyond the expected fare of 12”, 14” and 16” thin crust pizzas ($11-$18.00), plus Stromboli ($7.50), Calzone ($6.50) and Sausage Roll Sausage Roll ($6.00). Located in a typical strip mall just west of Federal Highway and East Oakland Park Boulevard, the specialty meals served at this homey eatery are like stepping back in time to Mama’s Italian kitchen. There’s nothing particularly fancy about the wholesome cooking except the taste, and that is where Fort Lauderdale Pizza & Pasta excels. We were amazed at the texture of the Filet of Tilapia Françese, lightly egg-battered fish swimming in a sea of wine butter reduction ($13.95), served with a side order of spaghetti, a green salad, and housemade garlic rolls. The Françese is repeated with veal or shrimp ($14.95), both surprisingly light, yet abundant with the garlicked flavor of a seasoned chef. The Chicken Cacciatore ($13.95) is fall-off-the-bone tender, and is served with onions, white mushrooms, and green peppers in a marinara sauce. There is just enough sauce remaining to wipe up your plate with the garlic rolls that keep being baked fresh in the pizza ovens all night long. We were less thrilled by the Sausage and Peppers (11.95) delivered over thick spaghetti. While the flavor was pleasant enough, there was a decidedly left-over quality about the peppers, as if yesterday’s batch was stretched on to today’s menu.

For those willing to walk on the opposite side of the street, take a taste of the Penne a la Vodka with Grilled Chicken ($14.95). While we tried to force the recipe from the chef, the closest we could get to uncovering the secret of this fashionably subtle dish was a mix of marinara and crème sauce that was a little Alfredo and a lot Southern Italy. While we didn’t taste Vodka, what we did taste was pure pleasure. Fort Lauderdale Pizza & Pasta also offers an assortment of Italian Subs and Wraps that are aimed at the hardy and hungry among. We’ve never gotten a bad choice from this group, and we’ve tried the Veal Parmigiana ($7.00), the Solid White Tuna with Melted Provolone ($6.50), the Steak and Onions with Mozzarella ($7.00), and the Meatball and Pepper Sub ($6.50), which is the bargain on the entire menu. There’s a lunch menu served between 11 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. at Fort Lauderdale Pizza & Pasta that’s heavy on an assortment of fine pasta Veal Parmigiana dishes. The sauces— meat, marinara, tomato, mushroom and garlic & oil, are all housemade—and do not disappoint. Mix and match them across pasta selections of Rigatoni, Cappellini, Penne, Lingine and Spaghetti. The prices are a low $7.00-$7.50, and the serving size will give you enough for a doggie bag for the cagna Italiana. Should you find a spare inch for dessert, we recommend the Cannoli ($3.50) for its crisp pastry shells filled with delicious sweetened ricotta cheese and sprinkled with powdered sugar; or the tiramisu—pure decadence priced at $4.00. And don’t forget to tell them Guy Magazine sent you, even if you have to speak with your mouth full. We completely understand.

No One Like Nona: An Interview with Singer, Producer, and LGBT Activist Nona Hendryx

ueer singer/songwriter Nona Hendryx has had the kind of career longevity (and variety) of which many musicians can only dream or hope to achieve. Best known as one-third of the groundbreaking soul/rock trio LaBelle—who rocketed to fame with their massive hit “Lady Marmalade,” and performed with the prolific Laura Nyro— the uncompromising Hendryx has had an unconventional solo career, daring to go in musical directions (which included performing with Bill Laswell’s Material, and providing backup vocals for David Byrne’s Talking Heads) that few others would ever consider. Her latest album, “Mutatis Mutandis” (Righteous Babe), was released last month. Hendryx spoke with Guy Magazine’s Gregg Shapiro. GM: Of the nine songs that you wrote or co-wrote on “Mutatis Mutandis,” were any of them written or conceived of during the LaBelle reunion period, and 2008’s “Back to Now”? NH: Those songs came out of me over a period of time since 9/11. I’ve written many songs since then, but these are a group of songs that live together—the most recent being “Mad As Hell.” I was in the process of writing three additional songs that I didn’t really have time to complete, which will become another project. GM: With songs such as “Tea Party,” and “The Ballad of Rush Limbaugh,” and “Mad As Hell,” not to mention your cover of “Strange Fruit,” would it be fair to say that “Mutatis Mutandis” is one of your most political recordings? NH: Yes, I would say it’s the most, as a set of songs. We were always [political] as LaBelle, and within my solo career, there’ve been social statements, some political, but more dealing with social thoughts and feelings and expressions. This is much more pointedly political. GM: You make reference to the Second Amendment, and the right to bear arms, in “Tea Party.” The tragedy in Aurora, Colorado [is] another example of senseless gun violence. What are your thoughts? NH: Only how sad it is. This has been an ongoing problem, and I think we can look to European countries, and learn a strong lesson about gun control. We are just more prone to that type of violence because of how we have accepted weaponry, since the birth of our country. I parallel that with the desire to legislate a woman’s body. One gives birth, one gives life. One takes life. And you want to legislate one, but not the other. I don’t understand it. My brain can’t compute that. GM: Grammy-winning lesbian jazz drummer Terri Lyne Carrington performs on the song “Let’s Give Love A Try,” and you can be heard singing on Carrington’s rendition of your song “Transformation,” on her “Mosaic Project” album. What did it mean to have that song covered by another performer? NH: It’s not the first time. It’s the same, but different. Terri is really talented, and she has this great ability to take something

guy magazine

like “Transformation,” which is a funk-pop groove, written by me and Carole Pope and Kevin Staples, two Canadians [of the band Rough Trade]. And she gave it another life, in terms of the horn and piano parts. I think it’s beautiful. I really love it. GM: Amidst all the anger and frustration on the disc, love offers hope on songs such as “Let’s Give Love A Try,” and “When Love Goes to War.” Do you think love stands a chance in these times? NH: [Laughing] Love always stands a chance. They say, “perennial as the grass, it will bloom.” As long as there are young and old hearts, people who’ve been jaded or crushed or hurt by life’s experiences, that is the thing that powers our getting up every day and walking through the pain and the difficulties that are part of the human experience. GM: Nine of the 10 songs on the disc are original compositions. Why did you choose to cover “Strange Fruit?” NH: I’ve been moved by that song for I don’t know how many years. I found it difficult to get to, to interpret—to feel that I could actually do it justice in any way. It was so owned by Billie Holiday. It had to do with that time when there were noose hangings in different places in America—in the South and in the Northeast. It brought back that vivid image. [In 1998, Matthew Shepard] was left hanging on a fence, he was killed. And [with] the rise of the Tea Party and other things, it just felt like that kind of thing could happen again. It felt so palpable that that kind of energy was on the rise in America. I went into my studio one day and made my version of the song, to try and get out of me feelings that came up. GM: Do you have a Broadway musical in you? NH: [Laughs] I have a musical, but it may not be Broadway. It’s based on my “Skin Diver” album. I’ve been working on that with Charles Randolph-Wright, who is at the moment preparing the Broadway musical of “The Berry Gordy Story.” Charles and I have been working together for quite some time. We worked on plays with music called “Blue” and “Oak and Ivy,” that were performed at Arena Stage [in Washington D.C.]. We’ve done quite a few things together. And “Skin Diver” has been our long awaited baby that we’re birthing [laughs]. GM: When your tour does come to town, what can your fans and friends expect? NH: High energy, [and a] funky, rocking performance, where your head is nourished, and your soul is nourished, and your booty is shaking.

Velodyne vPulses: Ear-gasms for Under $100

got a text last week from Proculus, asking me if I wouldn’t mind grabbing his “headphones” from upstairs, and running them to the office. I sort of recalled him listening to them in the lavatoire the previous night, and went searching. It took me ten minutes, because he had—unbeknownst to me— replaced the crappy white plastic earbuds he had been using with the object of our upcoming custody suit: Velodyne’s vPulse In-Ear Headphones. At under $100, the slick vPulse offers a sturdy, portable pair of earbuds that broadcast sound at a high quality. While there are costlier pairs on the market, many which offer superior sound quality, the cost for most people doesn’t really justify the jump in listening improvement. Parent company Velodyne did a top-notch job translating their dominance in the subwoofer market to a micro-scale. Because contemporary pop music is mostly bass-heavy (you have heard of Niki Minaj, right?), earbud speakers with a boost to the bass and a pull-back on the treble will take the edge off some of the more egregious studio work your ears are subjected to by most radio stations. And the vPulses don’t force you to make a choice between bass quantity and bass quality. NOW HEAR THIS: $89.

Gibberish? Nope, it’s BABBEL

earning another language is rewarding and fun, and it is made easier today through the availability of both online language packages (which can, admittedly, be costly), and apps. Babbel—which is a companion to a larger online package—offers lessons for 11 languages, and the apps are similar for each. The Babbel apps are powerful tools for language-learning, with each consisting of 2,000 to 3,000 words, split into categories—from everyday things like food and beverages, to more complicated and nuanced ones, like society, and relationships.

The app offers memory tricks and games, which makes it easier to learn new words. Matching images, speech recognition (that keeps score of how well you pronounce the text out loud), and other simple but fun exercises (including more advanced writing lessons) help keep the flow of your learning steady and—most importantly—memorable. Babbel keeps track of your progress, and updates it to your online profile. The developer says it will add more complete course content to future versions, which means you will soon be “hablo”-ing, muy y mucho. ¡Ay, caramba! BABBEL-ON: Free on iOS and Android. (The app lets you set up a free account to keep track of your learning, and accesses you to the complete, fee-carrying online program.)

Drive, and Let Live

o matter how diligent you are in keeping driving distractions at bay, there will always be something that makes you lose focus. But keeping distractions to a minimum means a greater likelihood of arriving safe and sound. Most people know by now that texting while you drive is more dangerous than driving under the influence (which I am also not endorsing here). That probably hasn’t kept you from checking that last notification—while cruising at 88 mph, on the East Oakland Park off-ramp. This is an example of impulse overriding better judgment in the moment. Although its better not using your smartphone at all while operating heavy—life threatening— machinery, there are some things you can do to make your smartphone less of a danger. Voice controls let you change a song or send a text while driving, and there are comprehensive voice control features on both iOS and Android. Older iPhones that don’t have Siri can utilize Vokul to bridge the gap. Android users have tons of options for personal assistant tools. The idea, though, is to keep your eyes, and your focus, on the road. Change songs or send texts while stopped at a red light. Voice controls allow you to keep an eye on the electronic signal (so you’ll know when it changes), and you can still put serious thought into whether you feel more “Britney” or “Rihanna” at that moment.

THE POVERELLO CENTER: A Community Commitment for 3 Decades By DALE MADISON

ince 1986, The Poverello Center has provided lifesaving food and living essentials to Broward County residents who are living with HIV/AIDS, and who meet basic specified qualifications. For Tom Smith, CEO of Poverello, his service to the organization, and the clients whose needs it serves, has spanned more than 20 years. It started when Smith heard about a Roman Catholic priest named Father Bill Collins, who served at St. Coleman Parish in Pompano Beach. At that time, Collins was working to find sponsors to assist a needy family at Christmastime. Smith went to St. Coleman, banged on the door, and asked to speak to Collins, who explained the troubling circumstances: The distressed family had five children, and three were HIV-positive. Although initially the plan for the assistance called for raising as much money as possible, and using it to purchase clothing and toys for the kids, enough was raised to get the family food, as well. After that inspiring success, the core group of volunteers decided that they wanted to keep the project going. The next year, Smith held a fundraising event at his home, and decided that it would benefit young men who were infected with what many called the “gay flu.” “We realized that so many of these young men were being shunned by their families, and many were being abandoned by them,” Smith recalls. “That first year, we set up long banquet tables, and charged a minimum $25 per person donation, and each person had to bring a covered dish. About an hour in, there was a knock on the door, and a rush of drag queens poured in, shouting, ‘We’re here to perform and to help.’ We turned the living room into a dressing room with foam rubber, eyelashes, powder, lipstick, and make up of all kinds everywhere. At one point it looked as if a drag queen had exploded. We didn’t have a stage, so we took one of the banquet tables and collapsed the legs, laid it on the ground, and it became the stage. During the evening they blew out the speakers on my sound system, but they just kept going. We raised over $3,700.”

guy magazine

Smith had stumbled onto something: A formula for success. “The next year, Charlie Mielke and TOM SMITH CEO, Poverello Center Tony Dee, the owners of Chardee’s restaurant in Wilton Manors, underwrote the entire evening. That year we raised enough money to help purchase a new truck for Poverello, because the one they had— you could sit in the cab, and see the street below you, sort of a ‘Fred Flintstone truck,’” he adds. FATHER BILL COLLINS Times have changed, but the need hasn’t. Today, Poverello serves more than 3,000 clients. This month alone, the group will distribute over 3,000 boxes of food, with a bill running in the neighborhood of $96,000—an expensive neighborhood, as you can see. And next year, county budget cuts are likely to translate to a 50 percent reduction in funding for food banks. “It’s been a tough year so far, but we are doing everything we can to turn things around. Our 22nd Annual Bowl-A-Thon is coming up [this month], and we are hoping to have a stellar year,” Smith adds. (As a matter of fact, he roped me in to help get items for the event’s silent auction, as well as to emcee—my fourth year, so how could I say no?) Smith is also proud that Poverello has a new home, located at 2056 North Dixie Highway, with expanded hours, which the upbeat CEO hopes—despite funding cuts from every level of government—will allow the organization to help more clients than ever before. “The City of Wilton Manors has gone out of their way to help with the project,” he says, noting, too, that once completed, the project will be “green-friendly,” and ready to continue serving the community for many years to come.

By ROBERT ELIAS DEATON

Commercial Street, Provincetown

ast week, we introduced you to that picturesque tip of Cape Cod known as Provincetown, a speck of history and tolerance celebrated as much for its Portugese bakeries as it is for its large permanent lesbian and gay populations. This town of 3,500 soars in the warmer months to 10,000 people, including tourists, transvestites, and Tea Party candidates searching for the last holdouts of liberal indifference. If you arrive by ferryboat from Boston, have your camera ready. There’s an instant photo opportunity waiting night or day at MacMillan Wharf—home to the town’s fishing MacMillan Wharf fleet, ferries, yachts, and assorted pelicans hoping for easy fast food. Most likely your bed and breakfast is a short walk from the pier, or the local taxi services (we recommend Black & White Cab—508-487-7800) will take you to any destination from the pier for $8.00 per person, including two bags of luggage. For your first dining-bythe-bay experience, book at Fanizzi’s by the Sea (539 Commercial St., 508-487-1964). Situated on the east end of Provincetown, the restaurant is so close to the water that high tide literally flows under the stilted frame of the building. Our favorite from the menu has always been the Baked Cod Stuffed with Crab Meat and served with a Newburg Sauce ($24.99), but the choices range from a simple burger ($9.99) on up. Right in the center of town, look for the Portuguese Bakery (299 Commercial St., 508-487-1803), where the specialty is Malacadas—Portuguese Sugar Doughnuts that are rather addicting. While it’s true the bakery is a tourist trap, it’s equally as accurate to announce that they have the best stuffed sandwiches in town. We like them so much, that we’ve often waited in the no-it-never-getsany-shorter line for a to-go lunch.

Herring Cove Beach is one mile from town at the end of Route 6. Follow the signs as you merge on to Province Lands Road, where you’ll discover two parking lots servicing the white sand. Since this beach is officially managed by Cape Cod National Seashore, there is a $10 parking fee. When you reach the water, turn to the Herring Cove Beach left and discover the best gay beach in P-town. Continue a little beyond that point, and you’ll find sunbathers shedding their clothes to remove any trace of the Great Northeast tan line. The Provincetown Public Library (356 Commercial St.) is a fun place to people watch, and check your email via the free public use computers. The ½ scale model of the schooner Rose Dorothea pays tribute to the town’s fisherman legacy, and is the showcase of the second-floor children’s section. Mussel Beach Health Club (35 Bradford St., 508-4870001) is the cleanest, most up-to-date facility for working your muscles to a fine tune. Free weights combine with elliptical crosstrainers and stairmasters in this popular gym that sells a week-pass for $90. The A-House (6 Masonic Pl.) is the bar where twinks, bears, leather men, and muscle boys share the space. Actually three bars in one, the place includes the Little Bar with its cruisy men and a jukebox for sound, the upstairs Macho Bar where naughty is nice, and the large dance floor and patio called the Big Room—all open ‘til 1 a.m. There is no end of fun in this town of plenty, where a simple walk down Commercial Street is a kaleidoscope of gays, straights, lesbians, and the occasional fisherman— all living the dream on Cape Cod Bay.

Robert Elias Deaton is a world-traveling epicure who enjoys the finer things in life.

Deltoids To Die For!

Chisel those shoulders to granite-like perfection…here’s how!

ost guys are in agreement about what constitutes an ideal physique – a tapered V-shaped back, bold defined triceps, biceps like soft balls, a hard bubble butt, and a sleek, welldefined six-pack. A physique with these assets is well worth flaunting anywhere! Just remember, guys, to workout your legs once in awhile…nothing looks sillier than a guy with a big upper gym body on toothpick legs. One muscle group that guys sometimes forget about, or simply only train routinely, are the deltoids. Whether you’re strutting your stuff on the beach or at the pool, or wearing your best suit for an interview, a great pair of shoulders will set you apart from the rest. The delts are located at the top of each arm, and consist of the anterior or front deltoids, mid or lateral deltoids, and the posterior or rear deltoids. Well-developed deltoids resemble cannonballs, but you need a variety of movements or exercises in order to develop and strengthen them properly. Also, the stronger your deltoids are, the less stress you will experience with those deeper rotator cuff muscles. Here’s a big boy’s guide to bigger, broader shoulders: • Seated dumbbell presses are great for front and mid deltoids as well as for traps and triceps. Sit on a bench with your back straight. Grasp two dumbbells with an overhand grip, and lift them to your shoulders, palms facing forward. Inhale and press your arms to an extended vertical position. Exhale as you lower them back to your shoulders. • Lateral raises are great for the mid delt, and they help you to achieve a broader look to the upper body. Stand with your feet slightly spread. Keep your back straight, your arms hanging at your sides. Holding a dumbbell in each hand, raise the dumbbells to shoulder height, keeping your elbows slightly bent. Return to the starting position. You can also do this exercise seated on a bench with your back straight, and simply raise the dumbbells to your sides as if you were standing. Doing these exercises in a seated position helps you to isolate the side delts better, but yes, they are harder.

• Front raises are dynamite for the front and rear delts. Stand with your feet slightly apart. Hold the dumbbells with your palms down (overhand grip). Resting the dumbbells on your thighs or slightly to the side, raise the dumbbells forward to shoulder height, alternating each side. • Bent-over lateral raises are great for the overall shoulder, but especially for the rear deltoids and upper back. Stand with your feet spread apart and your knees slightly bent. Bend forward at the waist and keep your back straight. Hold the dumbbells with your elbows slightly bent. Inhale and raise the dumbbells to your sides. Exhale as you complete the movement. • The upright row is another exercise for the mid and rear delts. Holding a weighted bar in front of you with an overhand grip, pull it to your chin while keeping your elbows above the bar. Keep the bar close to your body. • With each of the above exercises, try performing three to four sets of 10 to 12 reps with a manageable but challenging weight. So there you have it, a workout that will give you those distinctive boulder delts. Also remember to watch your posture. A lot of guys tend to slump their shoulders and crouch over a bit, especially if they are stressed or tired. Stand up straight, chin up, shoulders back, pecs out, and enjoy the attention you’ve earned! For more fun summer workout tips, contact trainertomb@aol.com.

Love Jones

By JUSTIN JONES

Diary of a

Slutty Dude I

was a slut when I was younger. A big one.

I documented my sexual escapades while I lived them—some mind-blowing, others boring, a few frightening, and a very few, well, simply ... scarring. My experiences affected me like practice does for most people: It made me better. Malcolm Gladwell famously (and controversially) popularized the 10,000-Hour Rule in his book, “Outliers:” That the masters of any field—from Michael Phelps in a swimming pool, to The Beatles on a stage— spend enormous amounts of time on their craft in order to achieve greatness. Maybe I’m not great, but I feel like I had 10,000 hours worth of experience in promiscuity. I recently revisited my journals from a summer when I had a particularly explosive libido, and I discovered a few nuggets of naïve, narcissistic wisdom, and random commentary. An unedited glimpse into the thoughts of a young slut, on the loose in South Florida, follows: 1. WTF is “sounding?” Is he asking me to ‘sound’ like something? This guy, he asked me if I was into sounding. Sounding like what? 2. We upgraded from dial-up recently. AOL, m4m, watch the f** out! 3. This guy bought me roses tonight. No one’s ever done that. I hope he isn’t expecting to date me. We’re having dinner tomorrow. 4. Dear Future Me: Don’t sleep with guys who say they want to give you a “strawberry shortcake.” They’re not being sweet. 5. Was at an after-party till noon today. Laying on the beach now. Guy in front of me was at the party with his partner. They look so ... regular. They didn’t look like that last night, those crazy bitches. I look like sh** right now. Wonder what that means about how I looked last night?

6. Big rich man wanted to take me on a date tonight. I said yes. “Family emergency” came up for him. Can’t he hire someone to take care of it? It’s Friday. 7. Can’t get “Castles in the Sky” out of my head. I’ve been dancing to it all day. This sh** it HOT. 8. That guy was a “grower” after all. Not sure I’ll be able to walk again. 9. Won a strip contest tonight. I promised a few guys BJs if I won. Needless to say, my exit was quick and discreet. I got an offer to do porn, though! 10. Been thinking about the porn thing. I wish I could stay down here and not go to college. Hm: Study all day, or have sex all day? It’s gonna suck when I have to leave. 11. There are so many house boys down here. This guy offered to give me a try. I think I’ll test it out. Staying at his place a couple nights this week. 12. Tried the house boy thing. I actually have to clean? No thanks. 13. I did it to myself. I wore underwear and a dog collar to a party last night, and got roughed up pretty good by a pervert. Think I’m done going out for a while. 14. Why leather? Just tie me up already. 15. I’ve been here the whole summer. It’s hard to say goodbye, but I can’t sustain this lifestyle. I leave tomorrow. I bet I’ll look back on all this one day and laugh my ass off.
