I flew to Toronto by myself for a weekend, before the age of Android. Had some expiring miles I wanted to use. I doubt I would do that now, by myself I left the hotel on foot, on my way to the symphony. I sensed my directions were off. I asked a parking lot guard which way to symphony hall. Further down the road he catches up to me in his car, concerned I'd be late. So I hopped in and arrived in time. Again, would I do that now? Next evening I wanted to see Phantom. The theater was sold out but was told I might try at the window which I did that evening. I was living right that weekend because the friendly lady at the window poked around and came back with a ticket. Of course Toronto's Phantom was amazing. Back home in the States, I extolled how nice that guard was along with other folks were in Toronto. The things we did when we were young. Night like a river beginning to flow I felt the beat of my mind go Drifting into time passages

His Mom manages his Florida properties. He's doing ok. 👍

Side note, his house went up for sale recently. $5 million with 360 degree views in Los Feliz. The lane up to the top is not maintained by the city. Perhaps on bicycle! https://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/pee-wee-herman-paul-reubens-los-angeles-home/

IMO, Ellen looks at other people's sh!t as theirs. Not hers. Just like when she used to joke being upset about the gay community putting her on a pedestal. She didn't want that. So, one might not be surprised her not keeping her seniors in line. Not her problems. Too bad she didn't get it. Hollywood is full of greedy executives. That trickled down when the show stopped production for COVID. Other shows treated their staff more generously then Ellen. I'm not surprised how the toxic complaints surfaced after the show shut down for COVID. Where I work, toxic behavior, and other misconduct is grounds for immediate dismissal. I guess we know by now that Hollywood has catching up to do.

I saw both of these multiple times so they were among the best. I saw the LA production of Switzerland with Laura Linney and Seth Numrich. Two favorite actors. Clever play about Patricia Highsmith.

It's streaming again. Luke McFarlane! ❤️ Bowen Yang! 😂 No getting around Eichner. So miserable. The rest of the cast almost makes up for his whiny sh!t. I still like it.

A film mentioned under old Netflix threads, I streamed Esteros on Prime this weekend. Super poignant, well done film. I love the theme song, Amores Como El Nuestro.

I admire your drawings! 👍 Thank you for sharing.

Do you want to do the ethical thing? Or find a way around that?

Sadly, "truth" is more and more a rare commodity, including some wild accusations in this thread. The internet has no editor and little fact checking. Hopefully "truth" will survive. For some it might be too little, too late

If he cares about you he would have waited for a more appropriate time to bring it up, rather than texting you your profile. I get the sense he's not a worthwhile friend. He cares about you? Sounds like that claim does not fit with his history.

JD is in So Cal now. Anyone try him? His ad looks good. https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/45256/

Ultimately, there are forum members that find Asian guys are extra hot or black guys are extra hot. Should they apologize for that? Is that your question? I doubt you are a horrible person. But your post does invite people to read between the lines about some things. If you changed your post to say "I can't get enough of all the fine ass black men here in Chicago. That's how I celebrated Juneteenth. So suit me." That might say it better for some, yet not all. It's tricky.

I used to see a masseur in Palm Springs, a really sweet guy, just my type. Eventually my heart did go pitter-pat over him. It's a nice feeling. I tipped him well to make sure he knew how much I appreciated him. When we parted I would give him a loving hug and let my lips touch against his neck. Lastly I thanked him for seeing me. To me it was perfectly fine, being a little bit in love with a really nice guy that gave me special massages. I agree with the previous post, if a client is bothered, for instance when realizing the provider is with other clients, one might need to look yourself in the mirror. If the provider is spending time with you "off the clock" that's cool, as long as both understand what's going on. To me it seems messy but I expect some guys can figure it out.

There is actually a movie releasing this month at Frameline where the straight guy teases his ex girlfriend that he now has a boyfriend, a gay friend of his. So they apparently hang out together in the film. I recently watched Tab Hunter Confidential where he talked about appearing with women to promote the image Hollywood required, that he dated women. For an escort to be seen out with a client to fool other people, would the escort want to know why? Is it a harmless scenario? Is it all about vanity? Is actual fraud involved?

There are 2 nicely done gay films on You Tube Engaged (Short). 2019. Cute couple. and Un Frere , (A brother) French 2018. Two teenagers become friends. Well done drama. 13M views If already discussed, sorry I didn't find the threads.

Yes! I wondered how much $$ they forked out!! For that cameo and that song. Brilliant.

One friend describes PS as "hell" in summertime, that the heat is constant, even in the middle of the night, still hot. Another friend moved away from PS. Same reason. I love visiting PS. Beautiful. Peaceful resorts . A convenient drive for me. But I gave up on buying a place over there. The heat continues trending hotter. I lived in Vegas years ago for work. It's changed a lot. Not sure if I would have the patience for living there now, a million people living in the middle of the desert.

One factor might be how members promote snarky banter by responding to it. If I don't care for their demeanor I may not engage. But "you do you" is OK by me. Knock yourself out you snarky ones.

S1 of The Bear was so good I wondered if S2 could live up to the hype. I binge watched S2, spoiler free. So good! I watched a scene in epi-7 3 times. S3 is nearly here.

There is Shakey's pizza in Palm Springs I enjoy. I admit it's the nostalgia that draws me back and it's located near where I stay.

Would love to see this! Love the album, Illinoise. I got to see Sufjan Stevens at Hollywood Forever Cemetery a few years ago before the pandemic. He is so talented. This is my favorite song from illinoise live on ACL.

Just watched, on Starz. It's worth a watch. Billy Eichner could have toned down his mouth now and then. We get it, you know? Calm down. But yeah there is a lot of funny stuff. I love Bowen Yang. Needed more of him. Luke McFarlane was yummy and also a great actor. Love to see more of him.

I hope A H. turns the page and finds peace. I question how the entertainment media seemed to turn on him so quickly. No crimes were uncovered. These woman knew he was married with children. What did they want? If he was so miserable to them why did they stay? Seems nutz.
