Apparently the offender was a pharmacist who was subsequently fired by the hospital, and then arrested today. Name and motive were not released yet.

I usually send out around 40 Christmas cards each year and will do so this year. I usually enclose a short note about significant happenings during the year (this year, not many) and a personal note to a few. Most of them go to relatives in other states and folks who have been important in my life.

Maxwell Caulfield was in an off-broadway production of "My Night with Reg" and had a nude scene with an also nude Sam Trammell (True Blood). I was in the front row and I swear Sam was tumescent. Also, more recently, also off-broadway was "Afterglow" with three very fine young men naked most of the time.

I watched the first episode of this show - it will be one and done for me. I found no reason to watch further.

I watch Netflix while I'm on the treadmill so my choices are usually light, comedic series. I just started "House of Flowers" which is a Mexican telenovela that has everything from drag, strippers, infidelity, suicide, a trans character, marijuana, nosy neighbors, and a very cute gay son who claims to be bi and shows his his backside every now and then. And this is only by episode 6 of the three-season series. Each episode is only about 25 or 26 minutes long so I can generally get two episodes in while I'm on the treadmill each morning.

I had noticed that it had been a while since he had posted, I did always enjoy what he had to say. I met him a few years ago at one of the Palm Springs get-togethers and we had a great conversation.

I have been watching this as well - at first I asked, why am I watching this? - but then it hooked me. Maggie Cole reminds me of many people who just can't help themselves.

I have only made it through episode 5, but you may want to check out episode 4, where the majority of the nudity in a couple of scenes is male.

I do pay for print - a lot! Subscriptions include daily NY Times, Wall St. Journal, and my local daily newspaper, all print and digital, plus two digital-only subscriptions to two regional newspapers. I have experimented with reading the digital editions and then picking up the print edition. I always find I miss quite a bit with the digital version.

I agree with Epigonos. In my experience, the agencies that used to exist, most gone now, worked quite well for both sides. (Perhaps you were thinking of Maximum as the NYC agency, Epigonos) I asked a hire from that agency why they used it and he said the agency took care of all of the advertising, rate setting, scheduling, and vetting of the client. He felt it worked very well for him, an aspiring actor.

Bette was great! Totally political in nature and on the mark; basically a series of solo monologues which worked well given Covid constraints.

Neither!

Maybe the Matthew Camp fans know this, but he is featured in the 2013 movie "Geting Go, The Doc Project" on Prime Video. I noticed the movie was mentioned in the Comedy & Tragedy Forum, but that post didn't reference Camp as one of the leads.

Sorry for reviving this thread from March, but I finally finished Toy Boy. I had guessed the identity of the actual murderer about half-way through. The men were attractive, but the strippers only stripped down to speedos which I found quite annoying. How dare they call themselves strippers? I counted three quick butt shots and a little side-breast from one of females over thirteen episodes, but that was about all there was for nudity, despite every episode carrying the nudity disclaimer. I had high hopes after making my way through three seasons of Elite, which I really enjoyed and which has been mentioned in other threads under this topic. This took me a while because I only allow myself to watch Netflix while on the treadmill and an hour a day is about all I can handle.

I do know there was an extensive list of credits at the end of the live Zoom.

Assuming it was set in Palm Springs was probably the major reason I was interested in watching this movie. Thanks for the heads up, probably a pass for me.

Well, I watched it - I've concluded that play readings conducted as recorded Zoom meetings are not really my thing. I have seen some online Zoom-based performances (not readings) that were actually interesting. I also thought that the amount of growth shown by these characters in the time period between "The Boys in the Band" and this sequel was negligible.

I, for one, actually enjoy the birthday wishes on Facebook. Somehow it lets me know that people I don't seen very often take a few moments and let me know they are thinking of me. Quite a few of my Facebook "friends" are extended family that I enjoy keeping in touch with and old friends I've made along the way. I also use Facebook to send birthday wishes to them when it is their turn.

I took an early retirement offer over 10 years ago and haven't had a paycheck since then, living off savings and investments. My FICO has been consistent over that time. I use my credit cards, but pay them off in full prior to the payment due date. Some of the cards have fairly sizable credit limits which I never come close to using, since I always want to be able to pay the balance in full each month. This leads me to believe that the mere fact that one retires has little, if any bearing on the score.

I have been watching quite a few series on Netflix and Hulu. My favorites so far are: Babylon Berlin (Netflix) - historical fiction, but I was totally taken in by the stories Upload (Prime Video) - mostly due to Robbie Amell Normal People (Hulu) this is a hetero story of young love, but I found the male lead, Paul Mescal, so damn attractive and he doesn't shy away from nudity.

I have tried hard and been successful in not gaining weight during this stay-at-home time. I had hoped to reduce, given that I wasn't eating out, but that didn't happen either. Prior to mid-March I had sessions with two different trainers each for two sessions each week. I do have a home gym with a weight machine, treadmill, bike, elliptical, stability balls, bosu, kettle-bell and couple of dumbbells. I was mostly lazy and only did the treadmill most of the time. I did up my treadmill use to 3.5-4 miles every day and allowed myself to watch Netflix or Hulu only when on the treadmill. I did start Zoom workouts with one trainer a few weeks ago and will return to that workout space next week. This facility is small and private, but has a good selection of equipment and only has one trainer and one client using the space at a time. On the other hand, I went back to the other trainer this week as well - the gym is big, no one wears a mask (except me) and has a fair number of people in it at one time. Feels a bit uncomfortable, nonetheless it is good to get back to the routine.

My (possibly poor) recollection is that Club 20 emerged after the Gaiety closed. For me it was OK, but didn't come close to Gaiety. One of the Gaiety dancers I saw a couple of times was one of the first managers of Club 20. It was nice to see him again, even though it was a different context.

I also had a collection of matchbooks from places, mostly restaurants and bars that I'd been to, going back to the 1970's. I have been clearing out the storage area of my basement in preparation for downsizing and spent time looking through them, trying to remember the places they came from and then trashed them.

There are a couple of videos of the Ben Platt singing with his brothers Jonah & Henry on YouTube. I think Jonah and Ben look a lot like brothers and Henry, not as much. They all have terrific voices that blend beautifully. Both Jonah and Ben have been on Broadway, as Jonah played Fiyero in "Wicked" for a while. There are also videos of Ben and Jonah singing together and Ben and Henry singing together. All three sang together recently on the televised 2020 Graduation Special. If you're interested, just go to YouTube and search "Platt Brothers singing".

I watched some interviews with the cast in which they said that from the original scripts it seemed like the show would be a lot more explicit and raunchy ("Raunchy" being a direct quote). There was even talk of fitting a couple of the male cast members with prosthetic dicks. Ultimately, the show ended up being shot to be a lot tamer than originally suggested. (Unfortunately)
