I live in WeHo and am in my 60s. When walking alone, approaching young men tend to avert their eyes (as if making eye contact were the cause of aging). However, when I am walking my utterly adorable Maltese mix- everyone smiles and talks to me. There is a particularly stunning straight man, who always stops to say hello and pet my companion.

When Arclight opened their Hollywood Cinemas in the early 2000’s a friend and I went to see a film. The tickets were $11 which seemed really expensive. The facility was beautiful, there was a full bar, gift shop, and cafe in the main lobby. All seats were reserved. There were only two previews, and No Ads. If you arrived 5 minutes after the feature began you could not enter the theater so the audience wouldn’t be disturbed. Arclight pioneered online ticket sales. You registered with their website, selected the date and time, picked your seats, and printed your tickets. You could arrive 5 minutes before a popular new release, they would scan your ticket and you could sit down and enjoy the film. No lines, no waiting. The end of an era.

This is pretty sad. There’s an effort to get movie industry types involved to perhaps save the Cinerama Dome.

I have been around since the Hooboy era. When Hooboy passed Daddy had to deal with legalities involving keeping the site ( the Forum and review site were one entity then) going. If memory serves me well ( which at my age it sometimes does not) there was a period of darkness when it all disappeared. Daddy worked very hard to transfer much of the material from the old site to the new. Then the Rentboy arrests happened and that put a chill on everything. The review site and the Forum were separated at that time, and Daddy remained Daddy on the review site and assumed the Guy Fawkes persona here. There was again a huge amount of work while Daddy re-edited graphic reviews that could prove problematic in the post Rentboy chill. He gave so much of himself and certainly never got rich. I do not know what the future will hold for either site. Will there be a White Knight to step in and figure out a way to keep this going The way Daddy did when Hooboy died? I don’t know, but I am grateful to Daddy/Guy Fawkes for providing the review site and this Forum.

Casita del Campo in the Silverlake neighborhood in Los Angeles had a long running drag parody of Charlie's Angels called Chico's Angels. The stars were Kay Sedia, Frieda Lay, and Chita Parol.

All I keep thinking at these images of nude men straddling trees is "ouch".
