When was the last time I even saw a jean jacket specially of this variety. That looks like a Levi’s circa 1980′s denim jacket. One of the most hideous things ever created along with acid washed denim. Oh wait…I think they still sell those at Mark’s Work Wear House or something. Not to focus on the one heinous piece of his wardrobe…at least he layered with a hoodie and not a plaid flannel shirt. Also you gotta give it to him for coordinating his colors. The effort is there, it’s just the execution failed. Awful! If you must keep this jacket for sentimental reasons and want to wear it…layer it! Put something OVER it like a black wool jacket, just do us all a favour and don’t ever wear it as exposed as this. BTW, yes I saw this walking about Yaletown. Quel Horreur!

What is it with these queens I keep constantly seeing lately with over plucked eyebrows. It’s one thing to be anorexic but to have anorexic eyebrows is a no no. Put the tweezers down and back away from it. You should not resemble some ghetto latina with drawn in eyebrows EVAH! A more natural eyebrow is sexier any day of the week.
Here are some basic tips to keep your eyebrows tame:
1. Run a comb through it and cut any hairs that are sticking out. This will keep them all one length and less bushy. It’s basically thinning out the bulk.
2. The distance between your eyebrows should not be any wider than the bridge of your nose.
3. It’s ok to pluck your eyebrows but only clean up the stray hairs and follow the natural shape of your brows.
4. If you are incompetent, go to a salon and have them waxed or threaded. Pick one that has experience doing men’s eyebrows. You don’t wanna walk out with emaciated brows.

Yes…us men (specially the gays) do have a disorder too. Muscle Dysmorphia aka (Bogorexia or Reverse Anorexia) was coined in 1997 to describe this new disorder. It’s causes are not known but is said to be an obsessive compulsive behaviour and partly caused by the media that puts pressure on guys to conform to an ideal body shape. Women have been suffering from this ideal for years and just recently men as well.
How do I know if I have Muscle Dysmorphia?
One might think that no matter how hard you workout…you’re never muscular enough. Your chest isn’t big enough, your arms are not big enough and so forth. This usually occurs in bodybuilders or weightlifters. While most weightlifters report thinking about their progress at the gym about 40 minutes a day. Men suffering from Bigorexia may think about their underdeveloped bodies more than 5 hours a day.
The quest for the perfect body is only one factor that affects gay men in general. It’s one thing to want to look good but it’s another thing to obsess about it.

I don’t normally read 24 or METRO…you know those news gazettes they peddle on the streets like crack cocaine. Anyway an article on the front page caught my eye, being a dog owner and having the pet peeve on irresponsible dog owners that don’t pick up their dog doo doo. We have all stepped on shit at one point in our lives…or several for that matter, even dog owners have. So I don’t get what goes on in these people’s heads thinking they don’t have to pick up their dog shit. If you can’t do the simple task of picking up after your dog then you shouldn’t have a pet….plain and simple! These stupid Yaletown girls with their tiny little dogs and Ed Hardy matching hoody and pants, manicured nails & spray tanned bitches need to get over themselves and start picking up after their pets.
Here’s the article from 24Hours.ca:
I’ve always been a huge fan of Röyksopp since I first heard their album “The Understanding” back in 2005. My favorite track from that album was “What else is there?”. They feature amazing vocalists such as Robyn (who doesn’t love this very unique artist?) & Lykke Le who has such an amazing and very distinct voice. So today I downloaded their latest album called “Junior” which features a track with Robyn….AMAZING!
Another artist that reminds me a lot of Royksopp is Kleerup….you may think, “who the hell are these artists?”. You are actually more familiar with Kleerup as they did the song “With Every Heartbeat” yes! by Robyn. So if you like Kleerup…you’ll definitely love Royksopp. Listen to their new album here: Royksopp-Junior

Love her or hate her….she’s back! I’ve wanted nothing more for Britney than to get back on her feet ever since she’s hit rock bottom. Here’s her latest video:
So I’ve been text flirting with this guy from Miami who I met last February in Whistler during WinterPride. Because Rogers recently decided that text messages to the US are now considered long distance they now charge $ 0.25 per International text. Bastards!
Enter Infinite SMS, an iPhone app developed by a small start-up from Seattle called Inner Fence. The idea was that this app could send FREE text messages to any US number for free through GoogleTalk. So I’ve been using this to text message my friends in the US. Trés cool until a few days ago, Goggle decides to block all messages sent using GoogleTalk. Bastards!

As you know, I like various types of music and am always either watching MTV, YouTube or listening to music. I was watching MTV.ca when I came across an interview with this Australian singer/songwriter named Lenka. If Feist and Lily Allen had a child it would sound like Lenka. Her songs have been featured in TV spots for Old Navy & Ugly Betty. The fun, happy and upbeat music is contrasted by the lyrics of heartbreak & confusion.
Fun trivia….Lenka, who has also been acting in her native country through her tweens, was once trained & coached by Cate Blanchett.
I love the video of her first single off of the selt-titled album called “The Show”. Her recording company has blocked all embedding for her video so here is the link. Lenka-The Show
