Let's Talk About Underwear

Now this is some fashion I don't mind discussing.

I feel you can tell a lot about a person by what they wear underneath all their other clothes.

That being said, I wasn't aware there were actual rules for buying underwear.

GQ feels differently:

It only took them one slide in the slideshow before they busted out the meat reference.

Personally, I think these boxer briefs look a little bland. I feel that if you're going to go for the BB's, you need to liven it up a little. Cartoons, phrases, strategically placed arrows, etc.

Just because you want to be well-covered doesn't mean you can't have a little fun.

Yawn, yawn, yawn. How disappointed would you be if someone removed their pants and THESE were hiding underneath?

And the colors--blue and gray? What look are you going for? Prisoner? Mormon?

"Sit a fly?" "Berries?" Are we not allowed to say "hang" and "testicles" anymore?

I like the third pair--they're a little on the Wonder Woman side.

This really isn't all that innovative. Forget girdles. When I was in high school, there was a brand of ribbed sweaters that could suck in the top half of a guy's body so that it looked like he had pecs, and go loose at the bottom to hide any extra stomach action.

I remember the first time this guy in my drama club took off his shirt backstage. All the girls looked like they were watching an avalanche--because they essentially were.

Moral of the story: No point to an illusion if eventually everyone's going to see where you're hiding your white tigers.

Just a thought.

A List of People Who Can Go to Hell Now That I Can't Have Elizabeth Warren

So today was a rough day for everybody who isn't a @#$%-ing #$%hole. Let's just start there. If that upsets you, by all means, go straight to hell. This entire rant is going to be exactly what it sounds like. I am mad and I am going to exercise my right to BLOG ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S 1995, SO BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP. I really don't even know where to start, so let's just jump right in with the first person who comes to mind. Bloomberg, go to hell.  You really didn't have anything specific to do with today, but you can just go to hell for spending an ungodly amount of money on literally nothing.  I mean, you could have lit millions of dollars on fire and at least warmed the hands of the homeless, but instead, you made tv stations across the country that are already owned by Conservatives rich, so kudos to you and go to hell. Amy Klobuchar, I STUCK UP FOR YOU AMY.  I got into FIGHTS on SOCIAL MEDIA while DEFENDING your sorry, self-interested ass.  You know ...

Theater and the Outbreak

After last week's interview, a representative from a theater that recently experienced the results of opening too soon reached out to speak with me. I want to thank this person for coming forward in the hopes that it'll change some minds about what's safe and what isn't when it comes to the performing arts. Here's the interview: ME:  So this wasn't a full production or-- THEM:  No. It was us trying to do a little something for friends and donors. ME:  Who is 'us?' THEM:  The board of _____. ME:  And how long have you been on the board? THEM:  Three years. ME:  What was this going to be? THEM:  There's a, uh, beautiful park here in town, and we wanted to do an outdoor performance of a Shakespeare as a benefit, because, as you know, theaters are having a hard time right now paying the bills. We checked with the local government and the health department for the state to make sure we were doing everything the way we needed to in order to keep everyon...

The Community and The Hypnotist

  Two years ago, I started interviewing people in the theater world about the problems within that community. All the subjects of the interviews remained anonymous to encourage people to speak directly and plainly without worrying that there would be consequences down the line. (Of course, even then, some people felt like outing themselves and getting in hot water, but we're going to leave that water under another bridge.) When I decided it was time to bring the series to a close, it was partly because I thought it had run its course, and partly because I had a new topic I wanted to tackle. While I've had my issues with theater and the people who do it, I've never felt like I didn't belong there, whereas from the moment I came out, I've never truly felt like a part of the gay community. To be clear, that probably has way more to do with me than the community, but it's something I wanted to explore, and I knew how I wanted to do it. The theater interviews were al...
