  1. This was from a year and a half ago, so it's possible they've changed it up since. Dress code: No bare feet, no flip-flops, no ripped clothing, no obscene writing on t-shirts. It's a step forward from what US-based lounges have, which is next to nothing. I'm tired of seeing people look (and act) like total slobs when they fly. My real dream is seeing the airlines nut up about 'emotional support animals'
  2. Qantas's gin bar at LHR makes me a happier person, as does their dress code in their lounges. I'm glad to see they're pushing for a larger presence in the States.
  3. I did wonder for a second if his post was copy written by the UA marketing department
  4. Tveit played angsty teen very well. He had the floppy hair, the cute face and a reliable tenor wail. Playing 'grown men' kind of roles has never been his strong suit.
  5. If Cher can't reliably make it through her Vegas residency, Broadway is not in her future.
  6. United has Polaris American has Flagship Lounges Delta is toying with a premium-class lounge-within-a-lounge concept as well US-based airlines are finally getting smart and learning from foreign carriers: Treat your bread & butter better. As for Polaris lasting, they continue to build them in other airports and their J/F-class revenues are up. They'll be around awhile.
  7. @HornyRetiree posted a super hot story in the Deli the other day which reminded me that I needed to update myself. You keep bringing the heat HR! 15MinutesMore.com
  8. But it's really not. You remain anonymous, no one was the wiser and this was just a blip on life's radar. Let it be a lesson to learn to move on quickly to the next gent who will treat you the way you want to be treated. Finding the right escort can be a sticky wicket: I'm not saying you need to subtract emotion from the process, but in an unregulated industry like this one, there's a fair amount of rude behavior (on both sides). You've got to let the crap roll off your back and move forward. I wish you better experiences
  9. They cast a thick woman who supposedly has consumption. Strike one. They cast a male lead who's got the pipes, but the chemistry of mixing baking soda and water together. Strike two. I was all for The Duke throughout the whole show. He was well-sung, wasn't nearly as terrible as his film counterpart and was by-far the best looking lead on the stage. He also had palpable sexual chemistry with Satine. It's tough to root against that. Strike three. The dancing is fantastic and you can see every single dollar on that stage. I just think this is a show that's better suited to Vegas. I say pump up the production budget another $20 million, go shamelessly over-the-top and put it into the Venetian's showroom where Phantom used to be. [MEDIA=giphy]3og0IA4UgDDyU80VaM[/MEDIA]
  10. Umm, okay. Clearly I hit a nerve. You don't have to get so serious about it and call guys 'queen' That's just homosexual histronics.

  12. Sorry to nitpick, but the alleged line was: 'You should never say bad things about the dead, only good… Joan Crawford is dead. Good.'
  13. Putting things in perspective, a 30-minute massage is very different than a 30-minute escort session. Bottom line: Every escort does business in different ways. If it works for you, by all means, go for it. For me personally, wear & tear on my body is not something I take lightly, thus, I would never offer micro-timeframes.
  14. You are correct. That's considered damned skinny. I bet that bitch can fit into sample sizes.
  15. To buy a German Steinway is to have a beautiful instrument in your home. The people I know who have them bought them because they wanted a lifelong piece like this in their home, much like the OPs mother. They require care and proper tuning. It's an investment, not firewood. There's still a place for these kinds of goods: It's not a brand that's focusing on the Millennial market anyway. While the US market might be shrinking, Steinway has been smart in building up their Asian presence. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/10/business/international/steinways-grand-ambitions-in-china.html
  16. I much prefer your rendition of Number 6 & 9
  17. Great show whether you speak fluent Spanish or not. Novela-style, which means the drama comes fast and the plot twists are off the wall. Lots of LGBT-inclusive plots. Lots of great costuming. Lots of beautiful location shots of CDMX. Netflix knows they have a winner and are in production on S2.
  18. S3 does the '80s perfectly. It's really fun to watch. The action sequences are the best yet and I think it's one of the most fun ensembles of young actors on TV today.
  19. Finn's work on 'The I Love You Song' is incredible. I still remember sitting there at Circle in the Square, hearing the audience laugh a bit at Celia Keenan-Bolger on the first verse and then go dead silent for the rest of it. Pin-drop silent. And then quiet sobbing. It's a great song.
  20. I get a lot of the same musicality from Avenue Q as I do from Bat Boy. I'd also say that Spelling Bee is a bit similar as well.
  21. Re: Ashman Michael Riedel's book Razzle Dazzle has a really interesting chapter on Ashman and his final-days involvement with Disney's Beauty and The Beast. Some touching and relevant stories to this thread. https://www.amazon.com/Razzle-Dazzle-Broadway-Michael-Riedel/dp/1451672179
  22. Bat Boy is another one of my favorite musicals
  23. The old topic was about being blocked by someone. I riffed on that. The line is clear. Lighten up
