Indeed this vivalocal seems to offer nice lads. For example this gorgeous one in POA ...

I often find it's best to log off for a few days and wait for Mr. Smith's obsession to pass.

AS, no matter how hard I try to best you, I wind up with all my arguments deflated. But I will endeavor to persevere.

Which is why you're the English major. Ooooh, I'm good.

Well, one supposes one takes one's poetic beauty where one can find it. Me, I like mine more readily available and at a reasonable price. Hunting through the crap pile to find a few kernals of undigested corn just aint my thing.

Suddenly, I also want to talk about gifts.

Floripa is an awesome place to TAKE guys you already know. Very high quality of life there, always scores high as to where Brazilians themselves would like to retire. Charming B&Bs and excellent restaurants. As was posted above though avoid it like the plague in the peak (summer; here that is) months though, as traffic is just horrendous and the Island overrun. In terms of beaches, avoid Canasvieiras, a cheap and tacky tourist racket, although Praia Brava is always amazing for the hot crowd, as is Jurere Internacional. Although not particularly gay, excellent nightlife around the Lagoa area.

Drink more whiskey and outspend them in dollars and lives. The American way. Best regards, RA1

Self control is for the weak.

I get a lot of responses to my grindr profile but I have a face pic and I word it something like "businessman looking for fun..."

Dude. You seriously need to chill out.

Not by using either of those.... First...what city are you in? Second...what kind of photo do you have up? Try contacting the guys who you see are advertising...not sure what city you are in but if you are Rio...you will see profiles online that are advertising what they are offering

Yesterday was a great party in rio. Show of 13 samba schools in Rio in Copacabana. Great, carneval in 1 hour. I enclose some puctures. Also my friend thiago came. He is 20 years old slim mulato. I will write more about him tomorrow. I found him on internet on one of social networks. Sorry guys, whenever i try to load picture it is saying error 200. Obviously, i will have to get home for you to see photos

I do know Andy Capp

Day 13: Tuesday - Curitiba Botanic Gardens Famous for its greenhouse based on Crystal Palace... it’s got a little river thing spouting up in the centre… and a little stream then runs out underneath the greenhouse. There a few stepping stones to use to enter the place… it’s all too twee… ... And their living Christmas tree... a cone shaped affair covered in red bromeliads, topped off with gold star. ...It all looks incredibly communist...

LMMFAO!!! ...as it were.

Yawn.

Don't worry, My feeling don't get hurt easily....I'm not a bitchy queen, just a sarcastic Bostonian. Funny thing is that even though I don't post much, I've been a member of this board since its inception as well as from hooboy. Been going to Brasil nearly 20 years, back in the days when we organized parties on the roof of the Atlantico Hotel with members from here and boys from the sauna...Jr. from Point used to come as well (point was new and he had his other sauna Estacao). I lived in Rio & SP for a couple of years off/on, know the owners of all the saunas in those 2 cities, traveled through most of the big cities, speak Portuguese and still in contact with GP's going back 15 years. If you come to a message board and post your exploits, it's an open board....I'm never rude (sarcasm is sometimes interpreted as such, but is not) and I give my opinion , which is from many years of experience, my own and many that have come before us. So what I find odd is johnny come lately's, feeling some sort of "ownership" of threads or that somehow threads going off topic isn't to their liking.....too bad. There are some posters here that I regard as well traveled, level headed and people I like to hang out with. On the other hand (and I've seen you in the saunas) Wouldn't want to be seen walking down the street together...... and if using big words while trying to insult someone makes you feel better/more educated.....it just makes you look like an ass in my book ,lol

Stayed near Mole beach which is near to the nude beach. Lots of hot nude guys on the beach and fucking in the bushes. Quite a sight. Having said that, the traffic is atrocious during summer. Uber is plenty but getting in and out of the lagoon area is proven to be a feat. Knowing this and what is to offer, I might have stayed longer in Rio. Asked some locals and yes there are no sauna com garotos in the city. Tried a Bruno from vivalocal. Went to his place for a massage with sexo. It was so so and he is from Porto Alegre. I think I met him once in Mezzuniu. Tried a couple of normal saunas. Adelino is a bust. Its a 'spa' for men and the crowd demographic is older than most rest homes with exception of 1 or 2. Oceano is good. Hot guys plentiful. Had a good time there.

ironic that you had to make an intermission to talk about others intermissions

I agree. I go to night clubs in SP quite often, many clubs have gogo dancers. People rarely tip the dancers at night clubs in Brazil, I suppose it's the culture here. But I often just sneak bills in their socks, sometimes even R20 bills. I do this not because I am hoping to hookup with them later, but because I like some dancers moves, or their expression. That's all. And sometimes I see young guys (customers) dancing at clubs but not buying any drinks all night (these are not druggies clubs), so I go buy beers for them, and left them alone. Again, I have no any intention other than seeing happy faces. And I am thankful I can afford to do this.

I was always taught to give gifts from the heart, without any expectations in return and without any conditions attached to them. If you are reluctant to give a gift because you are unsure of how it will be received, what the receiver will use it for, or what the receiver might give you in return, then you are probably better off not gifting anything — just keep your relationships purely transactional and call it a day. I would think that this rule would apply to any relationship — including even employer — employee, or contractor-contractee relationships like garoto-client or hustler-trick.

The last Friday of the year at Sao Paulo's Lagoa, was mild disappointment, I guess is low season in the city,the admission was R$65,00 but there was signs around advertising $50,00 admission for every night of the week nights throughout the summer with free cabins on the same nights, I was not aware Lagoa had cabins despite been at the place many times for the last 10 years. Maybe is a new thing. As usual the average quality is well above what you get in Rio, but was not as outstanding as I've seen before, there was only one drop-dead gorgeous guy, like those you won't ever see in Rio in a million years, as usually is the case, pretty much unapproachable, the typical Lagoa sauna-god, I did not even try, I just don't feel comfortable with full-of-themselves types, besides he was probably charging double the rate, which he rightfully deserved, as a matter of fact the fee charged by the boys at Lagoa is probably the only useful information of this post: R$150,00 and nobody budged, I was even told by a boy no to bother haggling, of course I did, but no dice. "Sao Paulo people has more money" was one of the replies I got from my "in Rio they are asking R$100,00", which of course is true. I end up going with a guy called Tulio, nothing to write home about. Also worth of note was the 4 go-go boys dancing with full erection in the middle of the sparse crowd for a very generous amount of time, 2 of them were just astounding. Despite not being at it's peak, Lagoa is still the #1 sauna in Brazil. Hopefully the glory days will be back when the low-season is gone (end of February).

Once more, with feeling...

One of my most precious belongings is a publicity still of Roxanne that Donna Wandrey (the actress who played her) autographed for me in the signing lineup at the 1993 Shadowcon. I will scan it and post it here sometime. Great spot-plot summary here: https://darkshadowseveryday.com/2017/12/21/episode-1114/ The below summary shows just how insanely brilliant this TV show was. Roxanne Drew EDIT SHARE Roxanne Drew Production Information Portrayed by Donna Wandrey First appearance 1081 Last appearance 1177 Episode count 20 Biographical Information Name Roxanne Drew Year of death 1840 Manner of death Turned into a vampire by Barnabas Collins (As a vampire): Consumed by flames when exposed to sunlight by Randall Drew Origin Maine, New England, USA Supernatural abilities (As a vampire): Possession Teleportation Shapeshifting Summoning Family members Randall Drew (Brother) Samantha Collins (Sister) Mr. Drew (Father) We have 3 images of Dark Shadows Roxanne Drew This article is about the Roxanne Drew who lived as a vampire in 1840 and 1970. For the psychic from parallel time, see Roxanne Drew (PT). Roxanne Drew was a female vampire who lived in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and who victimized Maggie Evans, Lamar Trask, Sebastian Shaw, and Julia Hoffman. Contents [show] Original life history Edit Roxanne Drew was a native of Collinsport in the year 1840. She had one brother, Randall Drew and an older sister, Samantha, who was married to the original Quentin Collins. She was courted by Lamar Trask, the son of Reverend Trask. Although Lamar hoped to marry Roxanne, she did not return his affections (1114). It is unknown how Roxanne became a vampire in the 19th century without Barnabas and Julia there, and then showed up in Collinsport in 1970. Vampirism Edit In an alternate timeline, Roxanne became a vampire because of Julia Hoffman's presence in 1840, before the Barnabas Collins who lived with her in the 20th century joined her in the past. Julia released Barnabas from his chained coffin and he, not yet knowing the doctor from the twentieth century, refused to work with her (1112). Hoping to make her his bride, Barnabas attacked Roxanne (1114), and when she tried to prevent his actions, killed Julia. Roxanne rose as a vampire, but apparently did not remain with Barnabas. She returned to Collinsport in 1970 (1080) with her assistant and servant Sebastian Shaw, an astrologer and psychic. Barnabas had recently returned from Parallel Time, where he'd loved the Roxanne Drew living in that time band. Trying to woo this version of her, Barnabas found the girl uninterested (1081). Roxanne later victimized Maggie Evans, forcing Julia, Barnabas and Willie Loomis to trap her inside a coffin in the secret room of the Old House (1106). At one point, Sebastian tried to destroy Roxanne, but he was stopped by the ghost of Gerard Stiles. Roxanne in 1840 Later, Barnabas, inexplicably unaffected by the alterations to the 1840 timeline, saw Julia's grave from that year and used the I Ching wands to send his astral body back in time and take control of his physical body in the past. Now under the control of his future mind, Barnabas did not kill Julia and did not allow Roxanne to die and rise as a vampire (1116, 1117). In theory, this prevented the existence of the 1970 Roxanne. This was all nearly in vain, however, when Angelique caused the vampire wounds on Roxanne's neck to reopen later in 1840 (1133). Roxanne did die (1139) and return as a vampire (1143), but the timeline was changed again when her brother Randall Drewforced Roxanne to remain in the sunlight, where she was destroyed (1150). It was never revealed if Roxanne was still in the secret room of the Old House when Barnabas and Julia returned to the present following their mission in 1840. Paradox ruminations Edit The character of Roxanne Drew of regular time has been labelled an inconsistency in the show's writing by the publication "The Dark Shadows Companion: 25th Anniversary Collection", however her existence can be clearly understood with the inconsistencies in the character of Barnabas Collins, instead. It appears that three versions of the 1840 time-line are referenced on the series: one described only in the aftermath of the 1970 disaster and seen by Barnabas and Julia in 1995. We can assume, since Julia Hoffman had not traveled to 1840 because she had not come back to 1970 from Parallel Time in this version of events, that Roxanne had died a normal death in the unaltered timeline. The second version of 1840 existed when Julia and Barnabas returned to 1970 after being in the future. That version of 1970 now existed in the aftermath of Julia's eventual solo journey to 1840, although Barnabas was paradoxically not changed by Julia's releasing him from his coffin early. Roxanne had become a vampire because of Barnabas in this version of 1840, and he had killed Julia in 1840. The third version of the 1840 events shown were those actually enacted during the full 1840 Flashback storyline. Barnabas and Julia prevented Roxanne's first death and rising as a vampire, but their presence alerted Angelique to begin posing as Valerie Collins. Roxanne died anyway, and was killed in 1840 because of her brother's unexpected arrival. Barnabas' unchanged status in the 1970 storyline leading up to the 1840 Flashback is the true inconsistency and creates the perception that Roxanne should not exist in 1970.
