So, you have a thing for red noses and big, floppy shoes?

I mentioned this on Twitter, but Keala Settle really needs to stop singing This Is Me for awhile. She's ruining her voice and clearly, the media blitz they've put her through for awards season has done a number on her vocals. She's a great performer. I'd hate to see her ruin her instrument.

That doesn't necessarily make me old: I had parents who took me to Broadway shows from the time I was 7 Grand Hotel was 1990. While I don't remember a ton about that OBC, I do remember the very memorable performance of Barrett.

Does it make me a 'bad gay' that I can't ever sit through more than 5 minutes of any Drag Race show?

Reading this made me remember the brilliant performance that Brent Barrett gave in the original run

This. You keep on hitting the mark. Very nicely stated

I couldn't have said it any better myself

This is another case of the cast selling the story, not the story selling the audience

Until these companies are black & white about their privacy policies and DNA storage, I wouldn't touch them. As for their validity, I'd question any company who says answers are as easy as spitting in a cup... http://www.insideedition.com/investigative/21784-how-reliable-are-home-dna-ancestry-tests-investigation-uses-triplets-to-find-out

And check his Grindr profile. He bottoms a lot

And that's the kind of guy an escort cuts from his roster almost immediately.

Not quite. There are many of us who take good care of ourselves, thus the whole 40-and-done ideal won't apply.

I can neither confirm nor deny, but we may want to keep live rabbits and boiling pots of water away from him

Aww, how cute. She's trying to attack me

Boystown ain't what she used to be: I'm a native Chicagoan and have seen the changes for myself. https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20140731/boystown/there-goes-gayborhood-boystown-becoming-more-straight-research-shows

We agree on what's most important- Keeping guys safe. My statement on high-end hotels remains something I firmly believe: While I'd never say it was failsafe, it's a lot smarter than going to the La Quinta if you're in a red-alert area. Your best bet remains going with a reviewed, vetted escort. In nearly every story I hear of LE nabbing someone, there are always a ton of red flags that were repeatedly ignored. Use your head... Don't be a statistic. This cat-and-mouse game will always exist, at least until society figures out a way to legalize (and tax) it. Trust your instincts if things feel wrong.

I'm not making definitive statements. I'm giving you my personal experience. And yes, even in Vegas, tipping off concierges and front desk management has saved me future stress. Again, my experience. You're only equating this with Vegas... Think larger scale. Higher-end properties (Ritz, Four Seasons, Mandarin, etc) rarely see sting operations, if ever. Tax-payer money used in that amount isn't the norm. I never said it was a fail safe (nothing is), but simply not the norm when it comes to hotels that operate with a high nightly cost. What I'm not doing is fear-mongering. I've always told people to think with their big heads, but there are always small ways to protect yourself even further.

Big dick. Bigger asshole.

You're being a little paranoid, but that's ok A smart escort will quickly make friends with the hotel staff he's seeing on a regular basis. I did that, tipping well and they took great care of me (and by extension, my clients). Also, LE isn't setting up stings at higher-end hotels. You can save yourself a ton of grief just by being smart about where you stay or where you're going.

This is just a rough draft. Any takers?

Anal orgasm = the product of massaging a prostate. A guy, a finger, a toy or all of the above will get the job done. It ain't rocket science, but it sure is fun

I also recommend getting into the varied ethnic bones of the city. Polish, Irish, Asian, Black, Czech, etc. Chicago is thankfully still a city of very old, somewhat inclusive neighborhoods and along with that comes amazing food and interesting little nooks & crannies to explore.

Speaking of which, I need to start making tshirts with 'Implied Toxic Slut' screen printed on them

Bucktown/Wicker Park Andersonville (where a lot of the gay community went after fleeing Boystown) Gold Coast (touristy, but great for walking and sightseeing) Chicago is such a wonderfully setup city for tourists and easy sightseeing.
