A few years back a friend remarked to me after a particularly rough day “I feel human today.” I laughed and amusedly asked “Don’t you normally feel human?” She replied “No, usually I feel like a dragon!” I remember at the time feeling a bit confused and wondering what I normally feel like, what I would like to feel like and what it might be like if I felt different.

High School in South Texas was not kind to Paul J. Williams. As a “creative” teenager, he was in band, choir AND drama. Wimp. Nerd. Fag. To counter the endless teasing and name-calling, Paul learned early on to always have the last word. Eventually, this defense mechanism developed into a very quick wit, which came in handy as he endured four repressive years of

“Steam” is a slow, sensuous meandering journey both in its cinematic pacing and in the lead character, Francesco’s, coming out, coming home story. For a movie about hamam’s - Turkish steam baths - there’s a paucity of nudity!
Francesco (played by the GEORGEOUS Alessandro Gassman) and his wife Marta ( Francesca D’Aloja) run a successful interior design firm in Rome. But their marriage is on the rocks, with Marta, feeling neglected, secretly carrying on an affair with their mutual business

Unfortunately, Ta simply doesn’t have enough money leftover after buyin’ wigs and shoes to afford pay cable like the LOGO channel … even when everyone’s all giggly over the irreverant new series, Rick & Steve. Luckily for me movies and TV shows get put onto DVD so soon after they’ve been released / aired that it’s not like missin’em at all!
Seein’ as how this series is animated, Ah invited some of mah little twinkie boiz over. Ah mean, how complex can a TV series be when its made with little animated Lego people?

Broadway Damage is coming out for a more sunny, cute-boys-in-love romanticism (Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss, I Think I Do) is this sugary, determinedly optimistic love story. An, kin Ta tell you that she just cried and cried … ruined my fabulous mascara an made mah dreamy eyes all puffy. ‘Where’s those damnable cucumber slices, boy?!?!?’ uhm, sorry. Despite mah tragedy, ah loved every minute of this movie with its joyful script and oh-so-fabulous Mara Hobel. Her outfits stole the show … the glasses, the gowns, the glamour!
At times funny, and occasionally charming in its innocence, the film can be a bit much for those jaded by relationships and toughened

Long before Ellen and Rosie, Suzanne Westenhoefer belonged to an elite club of funny ladies who dared to be gay out of the gate. Since 1990, the riotous, openly lesbian blonde comic has made audiences—on land and water—cry from laughing. And she’s never put her sexual orientation on the back burner for an audience’s comfort level.
Before she rose to her status as a recognizable comic darling for the gay and lesbian community, she tossed her spot-on ruminations of everyday life on to straight audiences. And she’s still around to tell about it!

Mandragora, a film directed by Wiktor Gorecki, is a sad, viscous, and heavy-handed film of familiar (if stereotypical) themes - prostitution, drugs, self-loathing and the saddest theme of all - gay people (in this case boys) are a miserable lot doomed to a life of misery and death. Now … Ta has been around the block a time or two and has managed to experience in one way or t’other these themes and has managed to still be extremely FABULOUS (Though, ah ayum not quite as fabulous as the wonderful Lady Bunny.)
Wiktor Gorecki condemns the lifestyle and wallows in obvious sexual fascination in this drama that recounts sixteen-year-old

We were due to close on our first home purchase early next week, but just found out that our insurance policy will cost us over a thousand dollars a year! This will strain our budget even more than we expected and we’re having jitters about this. What should we do?
It upsets me to hear that you “just found out” the cost of your hazard insurance. Your Realtor should have urged you to find out what your policy would cost early on, during the home inspection period, and your lender should have been talking about this with you earlier, and not just days before your scheduled closing.
Even pre-dating the housing crisis Continue Reading »
