Like. Lust. Love. Which Flavor Do You Prefer?

ION JUST JACK

have a lot of friends in real life and on social media who I LIKE. There are many out there who I LUST. I have many best friends and family members that I would do anything for and they would for me who I LOVE. I’m fortunate that I’ve had many boyfriends in my life that I LOVED. Today, as a single gay man, I look for my next person to LIKE, to LUST and to LOVE. Someone to share my awesome life. I feel greedy that I had so many great relationships but I want one more. Many of you met your soul mate early and are monogamous. Many prefer being single and having fun meeting people. Some prefer to do neither. I’m somewhere in between right now. I am no relationship expert but I’m getting better at this. You learn by trial and error. But with every relationship I learn more about myself and what to do and not to do. When I worked at Baskin-Robbins, we encouraged people to try as many flavors as they wanted. Some were courageous and tried something new every time and others chose vanilla consistently. Kind of like dating. Can you eat one flavor of ice cream for the rest of your life or do you try them all? Or do you want to have the trifecta vanilla, chocolate and strawberry? Finally outdoor events are back including the AGRA Rodeo, Willo Home Tour and Melrose Street Fair. Hopefully I’ll meet the cowboy of my dreams. Or the thespian of my dreams. Or the twink of my dreams. Or the jock of my dreams. Or the gamer of my dreams. Hopefully, all in one. One can dream. ION will have a booth at each one of these events. Stop by and say, “Hi.” I can never have enough flavors. Happy Rodeo and Valentine’s Day! I hope you LOVE this issue. Be well, stay safe and find and LOVE that perfect ice cream flavor. Or two. Or three!

Photography by: LeakedGlass Model: Shane Henderson Yee-haw! You can’t keep a good cowboy down! After a hiatus because of that pesky pandemic, the Arizona Gay Rodeo Association (AGRA) is excited to be back in the saddle again. It’s time to shine up your boots and polish your spurs, pardner! The AGRA rodeo has a day of queer cowboys ’n’ critters competing for coin! The AGRA doesn’t discriminate, so there’s bound to be a few cowgals, too. Not only that, there’s some big city vendors who’ll be selling some fine haberdashery and cowboy hats, just in case you need a new one, in addition to there great gewgaws for y’all to purchase. There’s also lots of entertainment in the pavilion along with dancing, and, yep … there’ll be some drag queens, too. There’s a bar so you cityslickers & ranch hands can wet your whistle. If you aim to get likkered up, keep an eye out to join the wagon train from Charlie’s to the rodeo grounds. They’ll have more news, so keep your ear to the ground. 26

The Power of the Dog You won’t see John Wayne in this unusual take on the American Western. But you will see a dishy (briefly naked) Benedict Cumberbatch as a charismatic, cruel (and a little bit smelly) rancher in 1925 Montana who may (or may not) be a “straight shooter.” A dramatic and a psycho-sexually disturbing masterpiece.

ION STREAMING

Euphoria - season 2 It’s been over two years since season one ended. Don’t worry, Rue (the brilliant Zendaya) is alive. Balancing the pressures of loss, love, and addiction is as challenging as ever. This series tackles gay love, trans love, lesbian love, straight love, bi love … Love is love is love. But is it really that easy? Not in this world.

Getting Curious with Jonathan Ness As the Queer Eye reboot sputters on (season 6 just debuted), the host homos are scrambling to carve out their own niches. Jonathan Van Ness, the wacky hair hopper and genderfluid/non-binary/epicene pronoun guru takes on brain tickling queries as he debuts his entertaining aural podcast to streaming visual. January 28

Cher Forever!

Someone once said “The only thing that will be left after a nuclear holocaust is Cher and cockroaches.” Cher replied, “I think that’s funny, because, you know, I am a survivor. If I’m anything, that’s what I am.” True divas celebrated by the gays are rare. Sure, you’ve got the mother of all divas: Judy, definitely Diana Ross, plus Donna Summer, Madonna, even Barbra Streisand, the Divine Miss M, maybe Britney, and certainly the Mother Monster herself, Lady Gaga, but the eternal goddess of all divas will always be the one and only Cher. No one has retained more staying power. With one Final Farewell Tour after another, she’s proved that she’s not done yet, bitches. Now, for the first time, all the spectacular highlights of Cher’s remarkable career are together in one collection – The Best of Cher back when variety shows featuring comedy skits with the host and popular guest stars of the day, musical numbers ruled the TV airwaves. Enjoy over 15 hours of legendary music and comedy with the great diva herself. All of this is brought to you through the amazing technological magic of DVD! (Hey, not everything’s on Netflix, kids!) The Best of Cher 9-DVD Collector’s Set Includes: • 10 star-studded episodes of Cher with celebrity guest appearances. • Both of Cher’s legendary TV Specials from the ‘70s. • Two unforgettable concerts in Vegas, live from the MGM Grand and the Mirage. • FREE Bonus DVD: The full-length documentary Dear Mom, Love Cher – a rare peek into Cher’s family history. • Exclusive new interviews with Lily Tomlin, designer Bob Mackie, Cher executive producer George Schlatter, and, yes, the one and only, Cher herself. Plus, there’s rare clips including early TV appearances, rehearsal footage, and even Cher’s very own personal camcorder footage. Yes, camcorder! That was back in the old days, way before cell phones. Follow Cher’s legendary style through it all with a Look Book of designer Bob Mackie’s original wardrobe sketches. What? You want even more Cher? Upgrade to The Best of Cher Deluxe 18-DVD Collection. You’ll get 18 more episodes of Cher’s variety shows from the ‘70s, featuring her solo show, Cher, as well as The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour and The Sonny & Cher Show. That’s over 30 hours of Cher, Cher, and more Cher! That’s a lot of Cher!

“Tutu Faboo!”

ION SPOTLIGHT

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo brings a pirouette you won’t forget to the Chandler Center for the Arts.

IONARIZONA

JAN / FEB 2022

ounded in 1974 in a very off-off-off Broadways loft space by a group of ballet enthusiasts for the purpose of presenting a playful, entertaining view of traditional, classical ballet as parody and en travesti (very loosely defined as “in drag.”) Since then their keen knowledge and love of the art of ballet combined with their comic approach and artistry have made them the toast of the international stage with worldwide tours and televised appearances. They are a major dance phenomenon around the world, noted as a popular and critical success. The original concept of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo hasn’t changed. The company of professional biological male dancers performing the full range of ballet and modern dance repertoire including classical and original works faithfully executed. The comedy happens with they incorporate and exaggerate the foibles, accidents, and underlying incongruities of serious dance. The fact that men dance all parts—their divine, athletic, muscular bodies delicately balancing en pointe as swans, sylphs, water sprites and fairy princesses, enhances the spirit of the art form. Les Trocks (as they’re affectionately known) delight and entertain ballet aficionados and novices everywhere they perform. These men dance the great roles traditionally performed by women—but with a dash of slapstick with each arabesque, extended bourrée, plus every carefully executed and intentionally clumsy grand jeté. You have to be a seasoned, highly trained pro to pull off something so gracelessly perfect. You’ll sob, swoon and snicker during the classic performance of The Dying Swan, enrapt while the tragic bird molts to death, dancing to Saint-Saëns’ melancholy score. The baby spotlight searches the darkened stage JAN / FEB 2022

IONMOBILE 45

looking for the the sad swan: a man, playing an aging diva, complete with a fake bun, toe shoes … with feathers that keep shedding from beneath her tutu. The corps includes ballerina assoluta Sonia Leftova, “The Prune Danish of Russian Ballet,” plus Ida Nevasayneva, the Socialist ballerina of the working people everywhere. Meet Moussia Shebarkarova, a celebrated child prodigy; back in the Brezhnev era, at the age of two, Shebarkarova astounded her parents by taking a correspondence course in ballet. Patrons will surprised to learn that the premier danseur Jacques d’Aniels was originally trained as an astronaut before entering the world of ballet. The Legupski Brothers, Araf, Marat, Sergey, Vladimir and Vyacheslav are not really brothers; nor are their names really Araf, Marat, Sergey, Vladimir or Vyacheslav … nor are they real Russians. You can bet that their performance of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker is a real ball-buster by the time they’re finished. Whether you’re a veteran lover of the art of ballet and dance, or if you like drag, or if you simply love to be entertained, you owe it to yourself to spend an evening with with the Trocks, a corps of cocks in frocks.
