Years ago I had friends who lived in Somerset, IA, close to Simpson and I got to attend a number of fine operatic performances at Des Moines Metro Opera!!! TruHart1

The relationship appears to continue in a festive holiday mood! Russell writes: Oh Christmas tree. TruHart1

Derek told me himself that he simply loves all aspects of sex, whether with a woman or a man or in any and all combinations! Does one call that "bisexual or omnisexual?" TruHart1

Alec's (and Ryan's) entire reason for escorting was to raise enough capital to retire and start their own business. One of Alec's favorite topics whenever I was lucky enough to meet with him was how he planned to propose to Ryan in the most romantic way possible, so I do wonder if his "boyfriend of the last 18 months" is a different man than Ryan. It doesn't really matter to me though, because Alec is truly one of the best escorts and the very definition of a NICE guy in every way, so I only wish him the most happiness in his life, whoever he loves at this time in his life. He is deserving of all happiness! TruHart1

Sorry for the OT side trip into Broadway territory. Since Herr Kaufmann is involved at this very moment in a new production of Otello, from 11/23 to 12/15/2018 at the Bavarian State Opera, (Bayerische Staatsoper) here is a comparison for you: From the MET telecast of Domingo's first time singing Otello at the MET in 1979: From the Covent Garden production of Otello last year, Herr Kaufmann's very first production singing the Moor of Venice: To me, both amazing singers, at the top of their respective careers!

It's ironic that you bring up Patinkin's Sancho Panza, @bostonman. He attended college at the University of Kansas (my Alma Mater) his freshman and sophomore years, (when I was a sophomore and junior there) before moving on to the Julliard School, with a national (non-musical) commercial for 7-Up in between (The "Uncola!") His freshman year he was cast in a production of Man of La Mancha as, yes, Sancho Panza! I was going through a phase of being completely bored with my disastrous major of Civil Engineering so I decided to "audit" theater classes and wander into rehearsals for whatever school productions were being mounted at the time. Wandering into a rehearsal of La Mancha with Mandy was an experience I will never forget. To say I was impressed with him is an understatement! Both the Aldonza and her understudy were fantastic too, not to mention the Don Quixote, a senior faculty member who later became my voice teacher when I switched my major to Music Education. Anyway, I was quite impressed with Patinkin's interpretation and thought at the time he had an impressive high tenor voice. Then, in his sophomore year Patinkin was cast as Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof. I was truly amazed that this high voiced, somewhat silly interpreter of Sancho suddenly transformed into the ultimate, almost bass-voiced father of three girls who talked to God. None of his technique at the time seemed in any way forced, for either role. My first introduction to the versatility of Mandy at which he was so amazing! Later on, when he created the role of Che Guevara in the first Broadway production of Evita in 1979, all of his vocal promise came to fruition and I realize I was lucky enough to have seen and heard him when he was just starting out. I know many people dislike his crooning technique in concert at times and we've all heard about how abrasive he was to work with on Criminal Minds, yet there's no doubt to me that he is a Broadway legend! Finally, to Streisand, another legend who many hated working with, I will be forever grateful for somehow turning the nebbish, dumpy Mandy I was familiar with in college, into the total HUNK he became in Yentl!!! http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5qVnFeC8Vo4/T9bV1Mn9t-I/AAAAAAAAX3I/GZsQPdWPzAc/s1600/yentl_mandypatinkin03.jpg TruHart1

But,,,but, he doesn't even list kissing in his "I am into" section. I thought that was a requirement for you Gman! TruHart1

The exact same things were said about Placido Domingo when he first sang Verdi's Otello way back in 1979 at the Metropolitan Opera. He continues to sing new major roles (albeit in the Baritone canon!) today, almost 30 years later! There are times when Kaufmann sounds very much like Domingo. For both I will have to disagree about the "pushing" that has been a criticism of both tenors' technique over the years. Time will tell but personally, I always believed that Domingo had the best technique of the "Three Tenors" and Kaufmann's technique is certainly comparable to Domingo's back in the late 1970's, the 1980's and 1990's. Having begun his professional operatic career in 1994 in his native Germany, Kaufmann has already been singing for nearly 25 years. How long do you believe a tenor's career has to be to last "as long as some of the great tenors"? LOL. There is bound to be one critic or other (or future forum member!) commenting on some future tenor star's "pushing" his voice too hard and ending his career prematurely (after singing professionally for nearly 25 years!) because he does not like that tenor's sound personally. We all have our own taste in operatic singers but when a Jonas Kaufmann appears on the scene, rises to the top of his profession and has a rock solid technique, not to mention the ability to sing Italian, French, and German roles with such ease and nuance, it is difficult for me to take this particular criticism of his singing seriously.

He was arrested at age 19 in Tallahassee, Florida, after pulling a prank while drunk at a football game: Here is one of the iconic photos of the man, who only lived to age 27: http://flavorwire.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/jim-morrison.jpg TruHart1

Because they are so easy to make the night before and everyone has raved about how good they are since I first did them, deviled eggs are my contribution at most family holiday functions! TruHart1

For a nice, concise explanation, along with modern origin and some rumors, including the idea that the name originated due to its first use being by the British Royal Consort, married to Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, (8/26/1819 to 12/14/1861) who used it in order to tame the appearance of his large penis in the tight trousers then in fashion for men during that period, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Albert_(genital_piercing) TruHart1

It appears he is based in West Hollywood these days: https://rent.men/Cade_Maddox http://media.rent.men/public/photos/main/30/236125_1503165448_42f25guu79.jpg TruHart1

That was back before his modeling career really took off. Notice his mustache is pretty sparse, because he really WAS just a teen-age skaterboi of about 19 years old at the time! TruHart1

All relationships between men, sexual or not, whether with escorts or just buddies, are different. Over the time I've been hiring, I've found real friends among the guys I've hired. I've also found guys who are such turn-ons for me in the bedroom that I have no romantic thoughts of relationships or even boyfriend experience expectations --- when I meet with that particular group of guys, I just want to get naked with them and once again experience the over-the-top exciting sex at which they excel! A very few of my regular hires do know exactly how to be true friends AND how to satisfy all of my sexual dreams, too. I keep in touch with those men even when I am not planning on hiring them anytime soon. Most of them also enjoy just hanging out together off the clock, though if they're around, I always pay them for a session or four! I suppose since these few escort friends are closest to me, they might be the men I could fall in love with, yet it has never happened. Since my initial tentative hire, in which my very first escort proved to me that this was the hobby I had been searching for my entire life, (I still see that first escort whenever I can!) I have never had thoughts of "falling in love" with any escort! I know there is a line I would never presume to cross, no matter how close we may become as friends, or how much sex with him satisfies me, simply out of respect for the escort. I love a number of working guys, but I am not "in love" with any of them! TruHart1

My mom used to make white, green and pink divinity for Christmas but for her pink and green divinity she used red and green food coloring, not natural colors (like berries or natural plant greens) to tint the candy. I believe that some of those food colorings she used back then, (1960's & 1970's) especially red, were banned by the food and drug administration at some point. TruHart1

I'd rather I could imagine a film being shot in Kansas City on location with Mr. Tovey and his beloved Bulldog visiting "in the flesh!" @marylander1940! ;) TruHart1

Truth be told, @marylander1940, my eyes were unable to keep from straying south from the men's smiles while contemplating these pictures!!! :) TruHart1
