  1. Topicals don't need to be pricey. Laszlo is marked up because of the name, not because it's cutting edge skincare. Look into Korean skincare regimens. Inexpensive and it works very well (or, as well as topicals can work). https://sokoglam.com/pages/the-korean-skin-care-routine While I don't use a lot of what Sokoglam is selling, this is a good reference point to how it all works. I do a 5-step program with regular sheet masks. The 10+ step programs are too much for me. Brands I use and recommend: Missha, Mizzon, Hadalabo, The Ordinary.
  2. This is a lovely thread
  3. I have fun telling guys like this to use the equipment or get the fuck out of the way
  4. I'm in Provence at the moment, drinking my way through Southern France one Bourboulenc at a time. Hop on over Re: Tel Aviv... It'll be interesting to see how all of this new US tourism money will change the city. They could use a ton of 'new' things, as I can't even call what they currently have 'old in a charming way.' It ain't Mykonos. @hypothetically however is right on that the men are beautiful (if they're your type). Built like brick-shithouses and swarthy.
  5. Ask and ye shall receive! https://www.bostonplastic.com/blog/botox-vs-miradry-whats-the-best-option-for-reducing-underarm-sweat/
  6. The only quality gay hotel in town is Casa Cupula. They take very good care of their guests and have some nice suites. https://www.casacupula.com/ My recommendation is to look at Airbnb or HomeAway at some of the new, design-based condos that have gone up recently. Stunning, open-air views, great amenities and close enough to the action without being so close you have to hear a bassline all night. Personally, I can tell you the Sayan properties are tops. Their new Indah building is beautiful. https://bysayan.com/location/indah/ https://www.vrbo.com/1141158 If you need recommendations on good rental villas in the PV Conchas Chinas area, feel free to PM me.
  7. Go forth and grind! Steamworks is a fun place to get naked. Just be upfront with people about what you're looking for: As others here have said, it's mainly a place where guys want to get in and get off. Enjoy
  8. A tough life is a tough hand dealt, however I've known many who have overcome terrible upbringing and have turned out to be well-adjusted, productive adults. This particular provider's issue is that he was very vocal at one point about his conservative views and now continues to switch names... Almost as if he's running from something (as others have mentioned here already). I'd have more sympathy about the pile on if he hadn't brought all of it upon himself. Time to grow up kid.
  9. Gay hotels are dying for the same reasons that gay neighborhoods are disappearing. We're blending in. As JEC said earlier, 99% of 'gay' hotels charge you more for less.
  10. It wasn't a facelift. It was a very simple, very quick threadlift. One or two threads if I remember correctly. It was just to keep his jawline sharp. He's got the kind of face/jaw structure that could become problematic if he didn't keep up with it.
  11. I'm a huge fan of all the London Kit Kemp properties, especially the Knightsbridge Hotel. It's exactly what you're looking for and in the right neighborhood for Christmas shopping. https://www.firmdalehotels.com/hotels/london/knightsbridge-hotel/guest-areas/library/ However, you really can't go wrong with any of them (London or NYC).
  12. One of the sexiest fuckers I've had the pleasure working with. Truly loves getting naked, getting off.
  13. Youth isn't the issue: It's about remaining sharp, circumspect and happy. Clearly, this guy is over it. Escorts need to regularly reassess why they do this. If you're not having fun AND earning a living, you need to move on.
  14. But Harrods is such a mess of a store. Chock full of tourists. It's an exercise in day-drinking and extreme patience. You'll have better experiences on Oxford or Bond streets.
  15. Lorazepam on timeout? I sure hope not. Last month in CDMX, I could find it on nearly every corner
  16. ... And worth every penny if they get the win.
  17. To be more exact, it's the producers. Ticket prices are sky high because people cough up the money. The major problem with high prices is the audience entitlement that goes along with it. Feet on chairs, stage, using cellphones, talking, eating. Broadway has become people's living room and not for the betterment of the experience. London: It also helps that total capitalization of shows in the West End is a lot less than on Broadway. Hot, newer shows like Harry Potter, Six and Hamilton are all still charging top prices... Equal to Broadway, more or less.
  18. By the third episode, it's brilliant and addictive. I never like Aniston, until this. Huge cast. Beautifully shot show. https://tv.apple.com/us/show/the-morning-show/umc.cmc.25tn3v8ku4b39tr6ccgb8nl6m
  19. Scorsese doing a mob film is like peanut butter meeting grape jelly. It's just... right. This hasn't come to theaters in Dallas yet, but it's streaming on Netflix at the end of the month. Reviews have been stellar.
  20. While Warren gives a star-turn performance, there's something missing from this show. It feels empty. I get that shows like this are what drive profit, but it really feels like just another thrown together jukebox musical. No heart. [MEDIA=giphy]3o7TKDt2tKDR6WRCuI[/MEDIA]
  21. While I haven't been to a county clinic, when my gp asks me about my sexual habits, I don't lie. I lay it all out. He's there to keep me healthy, not to judge me: If he did, I'd just find a new gp. The more honest I am about my sexual history, the better he can gameplan.
  22. She's not quite dead yet The point is that PQD (EQD) has been around since 2014. Minimum spend. It was $10k then, now it's $18k. This is not a new program. Inflation is a bitch.
  23. Of course I read it. I know Gary and his site well. At the end of the day, yes, you still have to fly to get status- as well as get to the spend threshold. It's two-fold. You cannot just put spend on an airline CC and use it as qualifying 1k miles. EQMs are still in play... With all airlines. Gary never said otherwise. His opening shot in the article was dramatic exposition. He does it a lot... With varying degrees of success. Bottom line, you're concerned about something that's been in place at UA since 2014. https://thepointsguy.com/2014/01/united-airlines-premier-qualifying-dollars-requirement-starts-today/ It's been the norm in the industry for awhile now and it's not going away anytime soon. The solution is simple: You can keep status by tracking your spend and mileage or you can fly carriers like Southwest who haven't gone to that model (yet).
  24. ... But did you eat a decent taco and enjoy your time in San Antonio?
  25. The term 'the new normal' usually refers to formerly-odd things that are simply now considered the going norm. I didn't say it was a good thing. The big three still use actual mileage flown in elite calculations: EQMs still exist. You still need BIS (butt-in-seat) miles to achieve status with almost any major airline. The days of earning decent status from credit card spend alone are over. As I say to others who don't like how the programs have changed, you're always welcome to leave the hamster wheel.
