Doubtful. It's a combination of him frequently going up and down in weight for films, and perhaps some Botox. While Botox can smooth out a wrinkle, it can also change the shape of a face and create muscle tension in secondary muscles that aren't used to being overused. Even the best skin doctors face these issues with clients. It's really an individual thing and you won't really know until it's kicked in. Then you're stuck (for 5-7 months). He also may be treating parts of his face with filler that are being worn down by keeping such a constant low body fat percentage. Fat pads in your face are the key to looking young. Tear-trough, jawline and temple filling can make a huge difference in a face that's looking aged. Frankly, I like what he's grow into. He's no longer pretty, but handsome. He's got some character, some rust.

Based on the products he's using on this guy's face, I can't imagine it's good for the skin. Look how much it foams up. You never want to strip your skin like this. 'Squeaky clean' should never be the goal. You also don't want to go that rough on the more delicate skin around your eyes. I bet a dermatologist would look at this and cringe.

Years back, Hooboy introduced me to an intimate, cool spot in Earl's Court. The K+K George. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g186338-d195217-Reviews-K_K_Hotel_George-London_England.html It's not fancy, but it's no dump either. It's easy to get to, but set back enough from Earl's Court Road that you don't get the noise, but close enough to catch the Tube in about a five minute walk. We saw Paul McCartney at Earl's Court Arena, which was also about a five minute walk. If you want some fun, Villa Gianni is a few streets over. Star Indian is open until 5am. It's delicious and they deliver. Get a patio room on the ground floor, facing the garden. It's beautiful to wake up to. Your room rate includes brekkie. It's quite a spread (However, you shouldn't pass up a morning at The Wolseley either). I suppose it's no longer fashionable to call it Earl's Court (now Kensington). It's an interesting area. More day-to-day, local feeling than touristy, but close enough to jump on the Tube and get where the crowds are. Sidenote: HB told me the reason he would stay there so frequently is that they had reliable high-speed internet included in the room rate, so he could upload to the site on a nightly basis.

Agreed. Don't go to Candle Nail expecting anything other than a legit massage. They're a quality, longtime spot on the outskirts of the gayborhood, just across from the Warwick Melrose Hotel. Candle was always my go-to for foot/hand care.

Or Mary Kay, even. Rob woulda been cruising around in that pink caddy by now, for sure.

You could always pick an off-prime time at SW like a midweek afternoon. It wouldn't be packed. You could get a larger room to base yourselves in. A wide variety of porn on the private televisions. A quick scope of who's around. Perhaps a workout. It can actually be a very tame place if you get it at the right times.

That's a bummer to hear they opened before being fully up to snuff. That's not a usual Four Seasons move. For now, I'd say stick to places like Maison de la Luz, The Eliza Jane and even though it needs a refurb, Windsor Court. I will say that I want to get back to NO just to use this incredible workout facility again: http://neworleansathleticclub.com/

Austin, like most cities now, has gotten rid of their gay ghetto, which used to be squarely in the middle of 4th Street, downtown. Any part of Austin will be LGBT-friendly. Just stay convenient to the wedding location. Austin traffic is a bitch.

Question: Why not Steamworks?

I don't think I can beat an Osmond in a loincloth, but here goes nothing...

I believe that in addition to a stirred gin martini, this was one of the many important things Auntie Mame taught young Patrick.

I want to see candid pics of everyone in this thread who are being judgemental. I'm sure you're all in fine form. ... I'll wait.

Only Fox News is still inept enough to call it the 'Wuhan' virus. It's COVID.

Make life easier. Book a car service. Thank me later. They'll have your name on a placard when you walk outside. A new-model Tahoe or Suburban with a comfortable backseat and great AC never goes out of style.

We did. KW voted to stop allowing mega-ships into port. It was a decisive first step.

If you're different from the status quo, you're always going to be referred to by what makes you different. I'm regularly called 'that ginger guy' or 'the redhead' in public. It's just a normal thing... And frankly, it's who I am, so it's not offensive. People need to get angry about actual issues and not small shit they can't change.

I don't mind artists making a statement if it's done in a thought-provoking, intelligent and self-aware sort of way. It's why I love guys like GIlbert & George. This, however, is crap. Monkman is working too hard to try to find too many angles.

Key West went through this as well, but many years back when the Airbnb trend was just starting. They banned anything less than 30 days without having a short-term, transient lodging license. That particular license is anywhere from $50-65k. It's kept a lot of would-be party neighborhoods in Old Town more quiet and owner/local oriented.

New (and updated) hotels are booming in the Crescent City. The new Four Seasons is a beaut. And prices are decent for the first six months of their opening.

It's an archaic mindset that bottoms are fem and passive. The times, they have-a-changed. I've fucked a lot of guys who have been masculine, muscular, verbal and embody the term stud. They just happen to like getting dicked down.

Dispassionate. Uninterested. Removed. Bland. Secretive.

Agreed. She has a very pretty, very well-trained voice.

Really. And I was there. Were you? It's Playbill.com, which gives a rave to just about anything. Wake me when Ben Brantley at the NYT gives her a rave for the performance.

Most theatre people are tough critics. It's inherent to the hobby. One can't be wrong when it comes to personal opinion. One person's bad performance is another's standing ovation.

There are many adjectives I'd use for AW. Lucky is not one of them.
