Lucky

Thanks for the report. I have learned so much about another rental company, VRBO. They make these grand statements about how they will help if a problem arises, but read the contract. None of that language is in the contract. They are notorious for leaving renters stranded. Don't trust VRBO.

Thanks for that information. I guess I can settle for the guys there even if not real Igarots!

Has anyone been to the Panabenga Festival in the Phillipines? The parade features the Igarot Hunks, cute guys in skimpy outfits who dance and well, what more I don't know! That's why I am asking. (You might fast forward through the second one!)

I learned today that the love interest, Bram, is actually gay for real. He's cute too. What a bonus! http://enewspaper.latimes.com/infinity/article_share.aspx?guid=cbaae29c-66b2-4025-984a-e3ffd9ec463b

Nothing new then!

Do you really expect folks to connect with a link blindly? I am not going to click on it without knowing what it is. From the lack of response here, I don't think I am alone.

Love, Simon is a charming movie where a straight actor pretends to be gay in high school. He struggles with coming out, and when it does happen, it is nothing like he expected. This is a feel good movie about a gay leading character by a major studio. The gay character does not die in the end. I liked the movie, but cute Nick Robinson does not have a gay vibe about him. I suppose that if they made the same movie starring a dorky gay guy it wouldn't sell, so I should be thankful that Nick took the role. The audience over the weekend was 58% female, according to Variety. Response to Love, Simon has been quite positive.

I am jealous!

Many Nazis fled to South America, so their heirs may embody the characteristics of the type of man whom Hitler wanted propagated. I have first been to Rio 20 years ago and have yet to see one though. But I think this is what the OP is looking for (not the Nazi part.):

What is the ratio of sauna guys who are hot and willing to give me a really good time in bed? Can we differ these from friendly guys in the same category with guys who might not be so friendly such as they will try to fuck me really hard to compensate for some historic wrong? Color is a line which only occasionally gets in my way, and even then it is usually due to a specific attitude that the person has rather than his color. I don't seek out one color just to show that I am open-minded, because when I am at the sauna, it is usually my ass that is open.

He sold the clothes off of his back to try to fend off bankruptcy, but his debts,along with his wife's, are astonishing. No doubt I have not been alone in admiring him over the years. If he confidently hedged his debts by making some money from his older gay fans, perhaps he could have skipped the bankruptcy courts! http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/joey-lawrence-sold-clothes-filing-bankruptcy-article-1.3868657 But, I did always like Mathew Lawrence better...

Adam Rippon tonight!

BTW, when applying for the credit card, I left blank the line for entering the Life Miles account number since I didn't have one. I just entered the code. After I was accepted, today in fact, I received an email assigning me a Life miles account number and asking that I create a profile. It was all quite easy, and I hope that I get the 60000 miles instead of 40000.

Just the arms?

I couldn't agree more. When I can, I fly Business Class. When I can, I fly Premium Economy. When I have to, I fly coach with lots of sleeping pills! That 12 1/2 hour flight GRU/LAX the first time I was way back in coach. I slept about 8 hours on the flight in a cramped position, but I got there without much pain. But, never again. No doubt, however, that the younger guys can handle it a lot better! I did when I was young. (Way back when!)

Thanks for that link. I was accepted on the spot.

Numazu's trip reports, both here and at gaythailand.com, are just superb. I've read them all. I can't get enough details, so I wonder why anyone would want him to censor himself. He makes Gabriel out to be just plain desirable. I want him! I've got 15 trips to Thailand behind me and about 7 to Brazil. I do prefer Brazilian men for sex, but a sweet Thai guy can be fun all-around. It's not either or if you like to travel. I've met some pretty masculine Thai guys, but never an effeminate Brazilian guy. Macho seems to be the word there. Anyway, Numazu could write a book and I'd be right in line to buy it.

Larstrup, you simply have no standing to complain about what anyone says. You have posted more slime than most people here do in a lifetime.

I wonder how many people thought you were obnoxious when you were falling splat down on the barroom floor?

Larstrup is one of the most obnoxious people here. That's my opinion! That he would start a thread for the sole purpose of attacking another poster and then talk about community is laughable. Clean your own house first Larstrup.

I have now read the book, and seen the movie again. I liked the book a lot, despite a tough start. It sure redeems itself by the end. The movie suffers in comparison. It was my second viewing, and this time I felt that Arnie Hammer was miscast as Oliver. The novel had much more credibility. And the movie is still too long!

I love Thaiand, too, having been there 15 times. But, in old age, money is tighter, so I have to make a choice. For sex, Brazil just can't be beat. But I love Thai guys even if they aren't as innocent as they were when I first started going. There are plenty of fun things to do in Thailand besides sex. But taking a boy with you adds to the fun. I hate the heat in Thailand and always try to time my visit for the low season in December and January.

I loved Rounds as well, except that I was always intimidated and never hired there. Some really hot guys, some apparently really rich men, and I didn't feel that I could compete. But, it was so much fun to watch. Stella's was fun, too, and I did hire a bit out of there. It was fascinating watching the dance between interested parties as they often slowly negotiatied the terms. So many hot guys, lots of Latinos. Then, of course, the Crown Jewel. The Gaiety was my Friday and Saturday night home. Loved seeing guys dance naked on the stage, loved the erections that came with part two. Loved the interaction in the lounge where the deals were made. I had a favorite there, Antonio, who was very hot and exceptionally honest. Believed in giving the performance you wanted. He took it very seriously. From San Diego, he retired and joined a Christian Missionary group, but stated that he had no regrets to his work at the Gaiety. I miss him.
