I've gotten so many links to my blog from people searching for information about the model in the new Calvin Klein Crave commercial that I took it upon myself to get the scoop.

His name is Travis, just Travis, and yes, just like Cher. He's also in the CK jean and underwear ads, natch. When he's not being a Super-Star-Top-Notch-Model, he's studying to be - are you sitting down? - an actor. I couldn't even write it without giggling.

When I was a NYC Chelsea Boy, I went to the same gym as Calvin Klein. When I first saw him, my initial response was what happened?. CK was, to be honest, an OM. I don't have a problem with that, but it was a cold slap after the years of being processed Calvin from Studio, Calvin with Kelly, Calvin being Halston's protege.

I'd rather think of Calvin surrounded by buff blond Models like Travis. I'd rather think of him turning away from all the things I crave.

Dear Bloggy,

Thank you for your good advice.

I was looking at blogs today and came across a tasteless and racist "joke" on one. The worst part was it wasn't even funny. I don't want to make a stink about it but I feel as a responsible community member I should do something. What?

Thanks - Vexed Webber

Dear Vexed Webber,

Are you a drag queen? That's a fabuous Drag Name - Miss Vexed Webber. Work.

There are two things you need to know about blogging. One, anything you write in your blog can be read by anyone. And two, anything you write in your blog can be read by anyone. If you wouldn't feel comfortable saying what you write sitting across from Mike Wallace, thats a big ol' Hair-Don't waiting to happen.

This Blogger Bastard will suffer the consequences. Without your Vengeful Vexed Webber Ways. In the meantime, there's plenty of blogs documenting how stupid men are so put some on Speed Surf and get clicking.

This is a new on-going section I'm starting. I finally learned how to include graphics in my blog and these are images of prints I made last year. I went to Art School for many years and this is the current fruit of my labor.

Dear Bloggy,

Do you answer questions about personal problems too?

I'm having huge problems with my boyfriend. He's always demanding I do things for him like I'm his mother. He thinks I'll go shopping for groceries, cook and then clean up too! When I ask him about it, he claims he does the same thing but all he does is go somewhere and buy Chinese. It's nowhere near the same thing and now I feel like we're working off a scorecard to see who does what when. We're now fighting over it and it's making me rethink our whole relationship.

Crazy, Underappreciated and Not Talking

Dear C.U.N.T.,

No, I don't.

So California is still gearing up for the Governer's race and it's actually gotten to be kind of fun to watch. I normally think politics is like watching plants grow but the Republican Candidate (and I use the term lightly) Bill Simon has proven himself to be such an egghead, waiting to see his next move is like watching American Idol rejects. They're so pathetic but at the same time, you want to see how out of touch with Reality some people are.

There was a big article in the LA Times today exposing the truth behind all of Simon's claims to have put "convicted criminals in jail". Turns out he had little, if anything, to do with the convictions he takes credit for. Like no one would ever find out. If Reality TV has taught us anything, it's that you can't even go on a gameshow without the world yanking bones out of your closet, let alone if you run for Governor. Duh.

This isn't brain surgery. It's barely more complicated than working at Starbucks if the fact Simon's gotten this far is any measure. Anything Simon says now is highly questionable at best and Davis looks like Mother Theresa in comparison.

There's also a "Green Party" candidate. Green apparently equals "we're not going to the prom because we think it's tacky but the truth is no one asked us". Nadar fucked up the Presidential Election and I don't care if the guy had Jesus as Campaign Manager, the glee he took in snagging votes from Gore sounded like the work of a thwarted nerd.

I don't usually go off on this political stuff but it's irritating to see how derogatory people like Simon are towards the intelligence of the public.
