If you only use one skincare product...

Do you love SPF, maybe too much? Just kidding, there's no such thing as loving SPF too much! I makeout with SPF!

If I had to choose a single skincare product (laughable if you've ever seen my bathroom countertops) then I'd have to choose a sunscreen.

Yes! Out of all the magical potions out there, the very best -- NUMBER ONE -- is SPF.

Keep in mind that most products are topical and are not absorbed by the skin, no matter what the bottle is telling you. Often, beauty products use tricks give the appearance of whatever they're selling, but all they're doing is putting moisture and reflective pigments over the area. To help prevent sun spots, thermal damage, dry skin and deep-set wrinkles all you have to do is use a sunscreen every single day.

Doubling SPF does not double coverage. SPF 30 is only 2% more effective than SPF 15. What matters most is that you apply a full, thick layer every few hours (I actually knew this, but thought it was worth mentioning)

"With SPF 45, you're protecting yourself against about 98 percent of UVB exposure, and with SPF 70, you're protecting yourself against 99 percent," Dr. Craig Austin. "It's also important to note that SPF doesn't account for protection against UVA exposure, which can cause a great deal of damage, so finding a sunscreen with broad spectrum protection is equally as important as paying attention to the SPF."

Aveeno Face SPF 30 :: $10

Apply to the face, neck and any other exposed skin. Daily. Duh.

It always seems to me that people want some magic secret that delivers a desired result without any effort. It really doesn't work that way. Being smart is the secret. Use your head. To prevent sun damage and premature aging, use sunscreen. Daily. Seriously, it does not get easier than that.

Ewan McGregor upskirt

Scottish hottie Ewan McGregor is 39 today. I honestly never thought he was all that, until I saw Moulin Rouge. Reguardless of whether you like the movie or not, boyfriend can sing and that makes my b-hole sweat.

"I come from a tiny town in Scotland, a place called Crieff ," Ewan says. "It's a fantastic little village and I love it dearly. But I always knew there was a great big world out there that needed to be experienced in a great big way. This might sound a bit cheesy, but I came to realize that our lives shouldn't be measured by how much money we make or by how well known we are, but by how much fulfillment we can find in our everyday existence. I really believe that."

Plus he looks hot in a skirt. It takes a real man to pull that off right there.

"What matters most with any regimen, whether it's to lose weight or stop drinking or smoking, is your willingness to seek help and your desire to say 'no more,'" he says. "The voice in your head that says 'I choose not to' is what ultimately makes the difference between not changing and making changes that last."

Natch, it would be wrong to talk Ewan without mentioning his beautiful wang {NSFW linkage}

Oh, Ewan! Stop leaving me dirty messages and just come over already...

Yes way, Ricky Martin is gay!

Sure, most people knew -- or rather assumed -- that Ricky Martin is a gay.

Yesterday he made it official. Whenever a celeb comes out, I'm always curious to know what people are saying and that's why I love the Internets; instant feedback.

Beyond the usual psychobabble about Jesus somehow having something to do with sexual morals (didn't he love a whore?), the most resounding comments are expressed by those individuals who just don't understand why somebody needs to come out and state their sexual orientation. So I thought I would explain.

There isn't any reason for straight people to come out, so their ignorance about the situation is just that. Many people apparently think we live in this idealistic world where it makes no difference if you're straight or gay. They want to believe in a society in which gay individuals are free to do their jobs and live their lives without prejudice. These people are living in a fucking dreamland, probably existing within the same fantasy where women make the same pay rate as their male counterparts. They do not. We do not live in that world.

Unfortunately the reality of the situation is that in many states, entire countries even, there are no laws protecting GLBT (gay, lesbian, bi & transsexual) folks against discrimination. In others, homosexuality is forbidden by law and often punishable by death. DEATH!

In the U.S., there are more states where you can marry your FIRST COUSIN than there are states in which a gay man or lesbian woman can marry their (non-related) partner. (see map)

Gay people live in a world in which they are assumed -- or expected -- to be straight. When you suddenly start dicking another man, it's nobody's business of course. No more than when your straight cousin started dating his first girlfriend. A relationship certainly shouldn't be forced upon people or thrown in their faces. It's something straight couples would never do, right? I mean behind hand-holding, hugging and other PDA, like you know, THROWING A GIANT WEDDING.

Nobody is asking for anything special. Every gay just wants to be able to say, "This is who I am," without having to embellish or flat out lie. We deserve to live our truth, right out there for the world to see just like everybody else.

In bed with Alexander Skarsgard

Alexander Skarsgard proves that sometimes nice guys do win in the end.

The 33-year-old may play a voilent, hyper-sexual vampire on 'True Blood,' but he's really a momma's boy. "Ever since I was a kid, my mom would scold me for being a bad boy," Alexander says. "'Don’t fight with the other kids, don't talk back to your elders, be nice to all the girls.'"

Speaking of manners and shit, it really bothers me when people can't be the least bit courteous. My biggest pet peeve lately are people who talk on their cell phone while waiting on line. First of all, that's what text messages are for, nobody gives a crap about your life so STFU. Secondly, the person behind the counter should pimp slap that phone right off their face when they get up to the register and CONTINUE TALKING on the phone, thus making the transaction take about 5 times as long because their jerk ass can't multitask.

Meanwhile, I've been dying to see the 2nd season of 'True Blood' -- but it's not on DVD yet. Total bummer!

This 6'4" stud is currently shooting the third season of True Blood. In the upcoming season, he says, "There's a lot of nudity. As far as Eric goes, there's going to be a lot violence and a lot of sex -- with women and men! So it should be interesting."

The Stockholm-born hottie stays in shape by lifting weights and running on the treadmill. He says he tries to work out 5 days a week because he "doesn't like being so skinny."

Don't do a douche

Know what's better than getting hit on by a really hot guy? Rejecting said hottie because he's a douche.

Listen, my people, there are rarely hot guys who don't know they're hot. Most guys assume they're hotter then they really are because dumb bitches way out of their league with low self-esteem fuck them. The really good looking guys and the guys who think they're good looking can ultimately both cop the same attitude. They're "hot," they get what they want (sex) no matter how they act, and they're douche bags.

I used to think that if I was boning a hot douche I was winning some kind of spite fucking competition. I had that studly jerk nobody likes but wants to abuse sexually. Except at the end of the day he's still a jerk and now you're the douche for giving him the satisfaction.

I've been a dumb ho, guys have walked all over me. That was the past. At some point I realized I'm not a dick rag, I'm a reward. Giving this hot shit right here to some douche, insanely hot or not, is only going to reinforce their negative behavior.

So fuck that douche. But by that I don't mean actually fuck him.


p.s. I have been trying to do Half-Nekkid Thursday (see my half-nekkidness!) every other week, but I know that some people visit every day and felt bad (yes, I sort of have emotions) that I didn't post anything today. I do try to update on the daily with the exceptions of weekends.

Marky Mark is fat?

Mark Wahlberg is the latest celebrity to wear the "fat" label. He gained a few for his new movie and the Internet trolls have a new target to rip apart based on their looks. Yay?

First of all, every body has fat. FACT. I can call just about anybody fat...look at me, I'm skinny! But you know what? When people say I'm skin and bones that actually pisses me off, especially when it is a dismissive statement. I’ve always had to work so hard to maintain a healthy weight (it just happens to be on the opposite side of the scale). It’s really unfair to judge somebody based on their body type. We have NO IDEA what’s going on there.

Secondly, he may have gained a little belly, but he's far from being medically overweight.

I’ve read several comments on blogs saying they prefer the softer Marky Mark because those people find super-buff, 2% body fat guys to be intimidating in bed.

On a final thought, I would totally tap that fluffy ass.

DO YOU LIKE A LITTLE CUSHION FOR THE PUSHIN'?

Face your fear, Anderson Cooper!

OUT...side magazine. Seriously. I know everybody is in love with silver fox Anderson Cooper and wants to have his butt babies, but I sort of don't get it.

I mean, he's hot and I'd do him -- that's not the issue (is it ever?)

This is my thing: Here's a man who has the opportunity to show leadership by simply living an openly gay life, yet he remains firmly in the closet.

I don't think he needs a People magazine cover or a dramatic "coming out" interview with Barbra Walters -- his sexuality is the worst kept secret on CNN -- nor do I think he has to be the MC at this year's pride festival. All he has to do is live his life without the secrecy and implied shame.

If somebody doesn't want to broadcast their shit, fine, we all have a right to privacy. I think you'll notice here, dear reader, for all my openness and sexy confessions -- I have never spoken in detail about my personal romantic life or given up the goods on guys I may be dating at the time. That is private; I made a rule long ago that I could talk about myself all I wanted as long as everybody else was kept anonymous. That's their right to privacy. I may speak of the situation but never specifics.

So whatever, I get it. What I don't get is treating your gay lover any different than a straight one. That is to say, if you so choose to keep your romantic life private, that's fine -- you don't have to talk about your most intimate moments. Keeping it a SECRET -- as though your romantic life doesn't even exist -- is another thing! Acting like that person is not part of your life only disrespects them. When you hide something, the implication is that it's being hidden out of shame, fear, guilt, legality, you name it.

There is nothing shameful with being gay, it is part of nature. Therefore, I would never date a man who was in the closet. I deserve better. So do you. So does Anderson's boyfriend.

In this month's OUT(side) magazine, Anderson talks about facing his fears.

On overcoming fear: "I don’t believe you should be ruled by fear in anything in life. I don’t like anything that scares me, I prefer to face it head-on and get over it. Anyone who says they’re not scared is a fool or a liar or both. I just don’t want that fear in my stomach to be a part of my life, so I work to eliminate it."

WOULD YOU DATE SOMEBODY WHO WAS IN THE CLOSET?

UPDATE: Yes, I'm an idiot! In thinking about this topic and someone like Anderson Cooper specifically, the whole issue of gays not being able to serve openly in the military did not even cross my mind. Currently, the two conflict. When people are forced to hide their sexuality, it also implies that it is wrong. However those are the rules one must abide by to serve. To answer the question, no, I could not seriously date somebody who was in the closet. It took me so damn long to accept myself and step out of that stuffy place that I just can't let somebody push me back in!

I fucking stand corrected!

Previously, I said only one bitch on 'Dancing with the Stars' was giving me a boner. I was wrong, because Chad Ochocino inspired a rager.

To be fair, this is the mental image that was cock blocking me:

Seriously.

This dude cleans up real nice.

Naturally, hot dancer boys hang out at dance studios, so recently I went down to my local atelier. I mean, because dancing is great exercise! I took a class called DanceBreak that had a live DJ -- and to my delight -- the divine Miss Angela Bassett was dancing her heart out not 3 feet away from me (she was super nice and flashed me her famous smile several times).

Taking a dance class is great exercise, plus there might be an opportunity to meet some hotties or even a celebrity. Though it's no guarantee -- Angela wasn't there the following week!

p.s. 'Dancing with the Stars' premieres tonight.

HNT: Bed head


Hair week continues! Just when you thought I'd resort to brushing my chesty hairs for your amusement, I have instead made a video with incredible bed head. This vlog also happens to feature my chesty hairs, befitting the half-nekkid theme, so if you guessed I'd move on to body hair grooming you were thisclose.

At the end of last year, I decided to take on the New Year's by resolving to do stuff I love. This video is a progress update, with a guest appearance by my kitty cat, Miss Chaos.


Happy Half-Nekkid Thursday!

Brow game

Yah, so...basically, this is hair week. Guess what? Eyebrows are made of hair!

I considered following up yesterday's post by listing the hair care products I buy in bulk -- but it occured to me that unless you have baby fine, short to medium colored hair, it would be unlikely that the list would apply to your situation. Plus I dodn't want to reveal the name of the shampoo in the event there's more out there I can snatch off the shelves before it goes away forever. Sorry, bitches! MINE

Anyramblings, if you want some really good product suggestions -- please read my friend Anthony's blog. His reviews are incredibly specific and detail exactly which hair types the product is best suited.

Point is, I'm bored now and moving on. Like, what's left? Then I saw some dude with a really bad brow game.

Using myself as an example, again, because why not. Above, you can see my current brows...flawless! Below, what used to be:

As you can see, there are several things wrong with this picture.

Firstly, the brows are overly-plucked. They're far too thin, especially on a man. They do not extend fully, the arch is off-kilter and really, the only thing working in this picture is the natural light and soft focus -- I look like a baby!

If you’re doing your own brows, remember the basics: They should be thickest near the nose, without extending past the edge of the nostrils; getting thinner from the corner of your nose continuing past the outer corner of your eye, where your brow should stop. You may want a professional to help you get the right arch for your face shape. Generally speaking, the arch should start at the iris.

Don't dispair if you need some help in the eyebrow area. Seek a professional. Even Michelle Obama needed assistance improving her brow game.

In this category, I will detail a specific product: Buy tweezerman. Not only do they make the best tools in the trade, but they also offer repair service & a guarantee.

Hair care: Buy in bulk

Before I begin today's beauty sermon, let me just say that I don't think I have the most spectacular hair in the world or whatever. As I said yesterday I finally love my hair, so I'm happy to share what worked and what didn't. I'm less of a "You should be like me because I'm awesome" person and more of a "I wish somebody would have given me some good grooming tips so I wasn't running around with shit-head for so long."

Amen.

Now let's turn our glamour bibles to the bulk pages.

My theory is that anything worth buying is worth buying a stockpile. I have a wonderful shampoo that my friend Andrea (see yesterday's post) gave me for Christmas. Every time she would go to the beauty store and ask if I wanted anything, I ask for more of that shampoo. I have about two gallons of it. The company has decided to rebrand itself and is no longer making the awesome honey-oatmeal shampoo I love so much. While sad, it is unlikely that I will run out over the next year.

Most products have a shelf-life of about two years (check the label). I usually go ahead and get two of the same item, so when the first one runs out I have a backup until I can get to the store -- where I'll buy another one or two to keep in stock.

Don't wait until you run out of your favorite product! What happens if the store is out, or worse, its been discontinued? You'll die!

Ok, you won't die, literally. But you might cry.

Avoid the hell of bad hair days and buy your shit in bulk.

A-ah-ah-men.

Beautiful hair by the numbers

TOP 10 HAIR MISTAKES
(Thanks to my homegirl Andrea Rothstein)

All my life I wanted what every little gay boy wants; fabulous hair! I was always messing with it, but never satisfied. It was frizzy, hard to control, I could never get it to style like I wanted, you name it! After awhile, I gave up and kept it super short because it was the only way to get it to look how I wanted.

Thanks to my close friend (and celebrity hair stylist) Andrea, I've learned it's so much more than a good cut. A great head is all about how you care for your hair, using top quality style tools and finding the right products. In my 30s, I thought my naturally fine hair would start to creep back and thin out even more, leaving me in a hopeless situation. Instead, I have the most amazing hair of my life (and thanks to Propecia my hairline is totally intact)!

10) Over-washing: The reason you don’t want to over-wash is that it can strip your hair. “Washing your hair every day is not the best thing,” Andrea says. “But the real key is using the proper shampoo for your hair! If you use several thick, heavy products and need to shampoo daily, use a really good moisturizing or hydrating shampoo.” These usually have a lighter detergent so you don’t over-wash.

9) Under-conditioning: As you take away dirt and product residue, you also take away your hair’s natural oils. “Your hair loses its natural nutrients from things like shampooing, environment, thermal styling, and so on,” Andrea adds. “You should condition daily whether it’s with a daily rinse-out conditioner or a leave-in. If you have chemically treated hair, use hot tools often or have naturally dry hair, you should deep condition at least once a week.”

8) Wrong products: There are thousands of products with just as many different ingredients; it is a matter of finding the right combination per individual. “The right products make all the difference in how your hair looks and feels,” Andrea says. “If you’re unsure, your best bet is to ask a professional [who’s done YOUR hair] for recommendations.”

7) Breakage: We all have casual days where we don’t feel like styling, but if you’re worried about hair loss, don’t perpetuate breakage! “Wearing hats all of the time will increase hair loss,” Andrea warns. Anything tight on your hair can cause breakage; for girls hair bands/ties, barrettes, clips, etc.”

6) No protection: Practice safe hair! Andrea advises: “When using thermal tools (hair dryers, flat irons, curling irons, etc.), use a heat-protectant. Nowadays there are lots to sample from - sprays, serums and creams - so try a couple to see what works best for you!”

5) Hair color maintenance: “Before coloring your hair, decide how big of a commitment you want to make,” Andrea advises. “All require maintenance and commitment!! Highlighting is typically less committal than all-over color and using a semi-permanent color is less committal than permanent or bleaching/lightening. Whether covering your gray or wanting a more sassy color, grown-out roots are never cute!”

4) Wearing the wrong cut: Find the right style for you, your face, and your hair type! “This is a very common mistake,” she says. “Bringing pictures to your stylist is great to use as a jumping-off point, but your haircut and style should be designed specifically for you! Chances are you don’t have the same type of hair or the same shaped face as that celebrity. Please take the advice of your stylist when they tell you that you don’t have Taylor Swift’s hair. She’s not trying to be hateful, just steer you in the right direction!

3) Over processing: “This typically happens when you over-bleach or chemically straighten your hair,” Andrea warns. “There are many elements and chemicals that can ‘fry’ your hair so be careful and make sure you do what's needed at home....CONDITION! CONDITION! CONDITION!”

2) Wearing the wrong hair color: “There are a few things to consider when coloring your hair but one of the most important things is skintone,” she advises. “Pale blonde hair and pale skin will wash you out, etc. “Make sure you are wearing the right color for you!”

1) Self-service: “The #1 hair mistake is performing chemical services on your self!!!” Andrea says emphatically. “Chemically straightening your own hair is definitely not the best idea as this process uses the strongest chemical hairdressers use, so a lot of things can go wrong,” Andrea says. “By far the most common mistake is coloring your own hair with a box you pick up at the grocery store or pharmacy. Your hair will NEVER come out like the picture on the box!”

This could have been me, you guys

There are examples of what to do -- and what NOT to do. Pete Doherty is a thing you never do. Don't be a Pete.

He's been arrested on drug charges and been through rehab countless times. Everybody keeps giving him another chance, when any non-famous person would be drying out in jail. Dare I say the latter is exactly how it should have played out long ago?

As a former crackhead I have little tolerance for these fuckers who abuse themselves and the system. I have absolutely none for those asshats who let self-destructive people off the hook for everything because they’re famous. They all need a swift slap across the teeth, as my great-grandma used to say. She was a real sweetheart, I loved the way she used to shake her fist at me.

I don’t care what anybody says about addiction, I do not believe it is a disease we have no control over. If that were the case nobody who did drugs would ever get sober. Addiction is partially the drug itself, but more so the user. There's always an underlying problem, the high is a way to self-medicate and escape. They have real problems. They need real, straight-forward, face smacking reality, or they end up dead like Jacko.

I would never suggest we ignore people with real problems, but we should definitely stop making excuses -- therefore enabling them. I am glad people were honest with me, instead of talking behind my back. I denied their every word, but the truth stung like a son of a bitch and I knew they were right. Ultimately, I still cared about what they had to say because some small part of my being continued to cling to hope. I still wanted to make things right. I tried to numb myself to the point where I didn't care anymore, but all my emotions were right there, buried deep down under the haze.

If everbody had let it slide, or given up on me, or whatever the people in Pete's life are doing, that could have been me, you guys. What a wreck! Honestly there is such a thing as being lost and addicted, and then there is just being a selfish asshole.

People who only want to fuck themselves up are a danger to others. It is not only their problem. It can easily become your problem.

Nobody can enforce their will on another (at least not for very long). Why should this scab-faced jerk keep getting more chances to be a danger to himself and others? In the interest of public safety, lock this fucker down and throw away the key!

Pete, the face and body of lifelong addiction, turns 31 today.

Bud Bundy Birthday Butt

David Faustino sniffs 36 this month.

As a kid, I watched horny loser Bud Bundy strike out on 'Married with Children' week after week. He was never my type, but his dirty little mind turned me on. There is a lot to be said about mental stimulation. It can make an average dude totally fuckable.

Somewhere during the run of the show, David transformed his skinny white boy physique into more manly bumps -- which they showed off frequently. Sometime after the show eneded in 1997, Bud started to battle the bulge.

In 2002, he appeared in the reality TV show 'Celebrity Boot Camp' and now the bitch looks surprising good naked. True (Hollywood) story!

Dancing with the Stars' Bad Boy Aiden Turner

The new 'Dancing with the Stars' cast was announced last week and so far only one of them is giving me a boner, hottie Aiden Turner. The 31 year-old steams up 'All My Children' on the daily.

And yes, I know that gold medalist Evan Lysacek was also picked, but everything about him just screams plain to my eyes. He's so...generic? I mean, sure, I'd do him given the chance but at this point that's like saying water is wet. I really am that easy. (No I'm not that easy)

The difference between the two is that Evan looks like the honor student next door, while Aiden looks like his troubled brother -- the kind who can impregnate you with his smoldering eyes from the other side of the fence. Good boys may go to heaven, but bad boys go everywhere, including my bedroom!

DO BAD BOYS DO IT FOR YOU?!?

Obviously dancing is great exercise, in fact I'm writing about my first dance class in years for my new column on popbytes tomorrow. Club dancing is one thing, a structured class quite another! I know many people are intimidated to step out on the floor, but most everybody loves to dance.

P.S. thanks for the kind words yesterday, I'm still feeling under the weather but fighting through it with a bottle of trusty Tylenol cold!

Friday Fill-Ins

To play along, go to Friday Fill-Ins and post your blanks.


1. Why are you making uncomplicated things so complicated?
2. I want you to take $100 and send it to my PayPal.
3. If you want a piece of me, then it will be on my terms.
4. Put your hand in my pocket and see what happens.
5. I could use a personal umbrella holder.
6. Lick and then stick.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to adult situations, tomorrow my plans include getting pumped (at the gum!) and Sunday I want to skip work!

Jenny Craig makes you fat

A friend of mine went on Jenny Craig. After they delivered two weeks worth of entrees and snacks, she ate all the desserts. Diet delivery plans can ruin you like that. In my humble opinion (meaning I'm right and fuck all else), if somebody has the money to go on a diet-food delivery program, they should spend it instead on a few sessions with a nutritionist and a trainer. One way or another the individual has to drop out of their bad patterns and develop good habits -- FOR LIFE. Not just while they're on some diet plan.

What's a serving size?

This might surprise you: A visual representaion of proper serving sizes (p.s. I just discovered that "serving size" -- even when pictures show food in a skillet -- means after the meal is cooked and is ready to eat. I had always thought a serving was before prep. I learn things!)

HNT: Show a little tit

Flirting is fun! People should do it more often. Also, relax. It's only flirting!

Flirting is using your sexual energy to connect with somebody else, to explore your sensual side and release your inhibitions. We are often so caught up in our own insecurities that we forget to be hot. Just be hot; it’s a state of mind, an attitude! It’s important to stand strong in who you are and take confidence in your sexuality. Doing so makes you feel less intimidated by the daunting task of dating. Flirting and dating are related, but totally different.

Dating is an emotional, deep connection. There we stand, figuratively open handed, hoping the other person locks fingers to validate our affections. There’s a reason love makes people crazy in the brains. I have observed that once somebody realizes they have special feelings for another, fear takes over. What if they reject me? I’ll totally die! Then people get paranoid and do stupid shit. WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT THAT BITCH? YOU WANT TO FUCK HIM DON’T YOU?!?

Flirting is casual. The other person doesn’t really have to flirt back. It makes no difference, because flirting can be lighthearted and at times humorous. My gay ass has flirted with plenty of women and even married men; making dick jokes, “That’s What She Said” puns, etc. Flirting is subtle and silly. Nothing said has to be serious. It all depends upon where you take it, how the other person reacts and what type of relationship you have with them. You can make it as comical or dirty as you like.

Recently a new buddy of mine and I became flirty, which got me thinking about all this stuff. We’ve hung out a few times, talked about boys and other mutual interests, but never really openly flirted. I tend to have a sexual charge to most of my interactions, but that’s only because I’m a horny slut. If I were a cartoon, I'd be all Jessica Rabbit and blame it on being drawn that way.

Ultimately I revealed I like to wear sexy shit under my day clothes. It makes me feel like I’m getting away with something naughty. He was curious to see, but at first I only planned to tease him with the mental image. Being a big tease is another way to flirt. Then I thought, why not show a little tit?

The meaning of said expression is to expose yourself for a little flirty fun. Every Half-Nekkid Thursday, that’s exactly what I’m doing with you, dear reader. Getting my flirt on. Showing a little tit.

In this case my buddy wanted to see a little tip, if I ain’t being too subtle. So what the hell? I snapped a few pics in my mini man-panties and sent them his way.

Flirting is fun and perfectly harmless, so show a little tit!
Happy Half-Nekkid Thursday!

Little boys are getting a message too

On the left, the classic Sgt. Slaughter toy. Right; his total body makeover.

There's so much blah blah blah about how girls are intimidated by media images that drive them to stop eating, or over-eat, or cause whatever their girly self-image problems are.

Everybody seems to forget the boys. Not only are we expected to be barrel-chested studs, of the heterosexual variety of course, but every single thing a little boy does is a jugement on his masculinity. Boys don't play with Barbies! That's a sissy game. You're not a man if you do this or that, a boy is seen as weak if he's not somebody's idea of what it means to "be a man."

So basically, stop bitching ladies. Boys are getting a message too.

I'm not out to change the world (too much effort not enough reward) but I can change myself. My choice is to define myself; fuck all else.

Choke that banana, John Barrowman!

'Torchwood' gay John Barrowman shows off his oral skills.

Bananas are rich in potassium and B vitamins, which are said to be necessary for sex-hormone production.

The sexy and nutritious fruit is not only a great way to practice your beejay skills, it's also a complete meal! Loaded with potassium, magnesium and B vitamins, bananas also contain chelating minerals and the bromelain enzyme -- believed to enhance the male libido.

FUN FACTS:
* Central Americans drink the sap of the red banana as an aphrodisiac.
* Hindus regard it as a symbol of fertility. A banana left on a doorstep indicates that a marriage is about to take place.
* Bananas made an early appearance in the Garden of Eden; according to Islamic myth, Adam and Eve covered themselves not with fig but banana leaves.

Do any of y'all watch 'Torchwood'? I've never seen it but this screengrab tells me I should! Who's a fan?

Jensen Ackles Spooks 32

'Supernatural' hottie Jensen Ackles gives 32 a reacharound today.

Jensen used to be a male cheerleader in high school.[*] I'd flip for him any time.

After searching like hell for his workout routine on fan forums, fitness sites, and google searches, only to return empty handed -- a little spy gave me some info, saying, "I know him personally and he works out all the time with a trainer. I don't know the specifics, however, it involves a lot of weights and some running. He will spend hours a day working out ... he needs to work off all of the beer he drinks!"

Hey! Nothing wrong with a little beer drinkin'

P.S. thanks, source who shall not be named! Now let's get a look at this hot bitch:




Although his workout routine remains a mystery, during my research I discovered that he's a sports junkie; loves football, lacrosse, baseball, and basketball. He played on the baseball and lacrosse teams in high school. He's also into boogie-boarding and horseback riding.
