SIX LINKS OF SEPERATION

So today I found the scoop on the really cute guy dancing in the Gap ad. He's... wait... you thought it was gonna be that easy? Bwa-ha-ha.

I started at filchyboy's blog. I go to read it now and then mainly (I confess) because I like the picture of him over the calender (assuming it is him) and because he has a link to Rupaul's blog.

Years ago I used to frequent this danceclub/bar/performance place on the Lower East Side called The Pyramid and Rupaul used to perform there alot. This was of course before his SuperModel-SuperStardom and he was, as my friend R. used to say, "this drag queen we'd push out of the way to get to the bar". It's always fun, however, to see a former compadré make it big and I enjoy reading what he writes in his blog. After a good chuckle or two, I was curious to see what sites Ru frequents and what They Have that I Don't.

Therefore I clicked on his friend Jonno's site. It was very nicely designed and amusing and in one of his entrys he linked to another blog called Popbitch.

Popbitch is lots of fun in a "Dish The Dirt" kind of way and who doesn't like that? There was an interesting blurb about Bobby Trendy, this L.A. queen who's been on the Anna Nicole Smith Show as her "decorator". I've never seen her show and hence have never seen Bobby Trendy but I have seen ads for his business and from what I read today, he must be one scary mo-fo. His "shop" is located near where I live and from what's in the window, his style could be classified as "AcidTrip-Bordello-Kitsch". It's not the kind of thing I would ever, in this or any alternate universe, find appealling. He lists among his clients Anna Nicole and Carmen Electra. Need I say more?

The blurb about BT led me to Daze, a website mostly about sex but sex in that funny, "aren't people odd" way (like the Reverse Cowgirl - see right). Sex is an unending source of fascination to the WebWorld and although I might have considered myself a Pornossieur at one point in my life, I have frankly lost interest. I happen to know a number of "adult film actors" (not a hard feat here in LA, the undisputed Mecca of Porn, gay and straight) and have found them to usually be interesting people (though, I have to admit, not usually so great in bed). It's a bit distracting to come across friends (or worse, your Video Store Clerk) naked and twisted into all the Kama Sutra positions and tends to put a crimp in the ol' fantasy department (unless you fantasize about your VSClerk, though seeing them naked might be a Buzz Kill too). However, curious as always and willing to explore for the good of my "readers"(both of you), I checked out a Porn Site that was on the top of the Gay Porn reccomendations for Daze.

This led me to Nightcharm which is described in one quote as being the "Martha Stewart of Gay Porn". This assessment isn't too far off and if M.S. started her own Gay Porn Website, this is a very good approximation of what it would be. There are two parts to the site. One is a free "webzine" with a variety of articles and a WebBlog by the owner, "David K.". The other part of the site is where you pay and get to the Good Stuff, i.e. the nekked guys doing it. The entire site is very well-designed (I hate them), interesting and manages to combine humor, sex, porn and Tarot readings all together in a way that actually makes some sense.

There is where I found an article about the Gap Guy. (Finally, you say.) No, he isn't naked and no, he doesn't seem to be gay. His name is Will Kemp and he's a Brit Dancer with the Royal Sheakspeare Ballet. My schoolgirl crush on him is apparently shared by several thousand, well, schoolgirls and there seem to be a number of Yahoo Sites devoted sexclusively to his adoration. His big "Gaym To Fame" is when he appeared last year in an all-male production of Swan Lake (!!!) as The Swan (!!!) who at the end goes off for a little mano-a-mano with The Prince (!!!). If the ballet was even a quarter as sexy as he is in the Gap Commercial, I'm sure there wasn't a Dry Guy in the house and if I'd been there I'd have had the opera glasses glued to my face to catch a glimpse of this Cygnet Cutie.

Yumbo. I want that in a Size 4Ever.
