I thought about hiring one I can watch as he puts up some shelves.

At one time, I would have checked into the situation. Now, I’m happy to shop online and pick up at will-call.

Bottom line: all work environments are, in one way or another, hostile to human beings. We value personal comfort in a way that is detrimental to discernment of what is dangerous and what is icky. “I went to the Respect-In-The-Workplace training session, and all I got was this fucking T-shirt”

Talk about the Wayback Machine… I was on holiday in Paris. A business acquaintance had referred me to an address in Montmartre. A distinguished man opened the door, and I handed him the both the card of my friend, by way of introduction, along with my own. I was shown to a sitting room, comfortable, candle-lit and warm. The gentlemen brought me a whiskey, and asked me to be comfortable and wait for 3 minutes, and left, closing the door behind him. It can’t even have been that long before a 20-something man entered from another door that existed behind a bookcase. Tall, hirsute and a little thick, capped off with a Leyendecker face topped with a mop of brown curls. He came over to me, and before I could stand up to look him in the eye and shake his hand, he had shed his robe and pinned me with his lips and chest to the chair. A flurry of mad contact and teasing led to the adjacent bedroom. Everything I might have wanted to happen, did, and the fair business concluded with a passionate kiss, a warm hug and a laugh. I saw him only one more time before returning stateside. It was imperative to sail from Europe the day after, as Archduke Ferdinand had just been assassinated. 😏

My finale takeaways 1. George Russell sure heals fast. 2. Oscar’s haircut distracts in every shot that isn’t him in bed. 3. Why can’t we have seen just one brief happy sex scene with Duke and Gladys? 4. Bodices for the ladies who sit need to be fit with them seated. 5. I can’t wait to see Carrie Coon return to playing contemporary characters.

What was once easily recognized as satire now blends seamlessly with the bizarre reality of behavioral tolerance today. I’ve loved these broad outrageous genre-spoof comedies since seeing Airplane! in the theater. Once they allow the Studio Legal Dept. to determine what’s funny, the fizz is gone.

Myself, of course. Partly out of curiosity, but mostly to keep the money in the family.

Leftover potatoes cubed or sliced with chopped onions, salt and pepper (add other flavors or herbs) in an oiled pan on med high burner. Press down with spatula to maximize contact with pan and fat. Let them cook a while before turning. Then keep them moving, allowing them to sit and brown after each flip. Great hash brown flavor and texture - not too fine. Shredded? Find a latke recipe.

I see why it’s a challenge. In major hotel/tourist markets, trained, legit bodyworkers get employed by the large number of resorts and hotels. Draping is default. There are fewer talented workers to distribute thru smaller spas where male workers, legit service, and undraped combine. Hire an outcall to your hotel and you call the shots.

If you’re the only homosexual in Moosejaw, Idaho and you bring in a guy for an overnight from big city Boise, and there’s folks around who don’t approve of you and like to watch every coming and going and have the sheriff’s personal cellphone phone number, you might think twice. Otherwise I wouldn’t worry in major markets. That said - Always be considerate of your host’s discretion requests, no matter which side of the bargain you’re on.

American producers would totally dismiss brilliant actors like Nichola Walker, Suranne Jones, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, all very attractive women, cast in very sexual characters in Britain, but not beautiful (fuckable) enough for American men. Helen speaks the truth. Keri Russell today is still really pretty, but even she is now… gasp… ordinary. The ultimate sin for American actresses.

He was Tom of Finland before Tom of Finland. Beautiful male faces and forms captured to perfection in a way cameras could not.

Nope I spent 45 years working around actors. When the interpersonal frisson occurs, one or both is playing a role. 95% of the time it’s a disaster once the show is over. I learned my lesson early on about asymmetry in attraction during a business-centric situation. I only allow myself to fall madly in bed. Or table.

I don’t. I pay providers for their time.

Might be a vacant house on the market, and they’re actually the listing agents.

We all buy more pre-trimmed veg now - for convenience- so it takes lingering to accumulate enough for a full pot of stock. The same trimmings in smaller amounts can be put into the bottom of the pan for oven-roasting chicken, beef or pork, and strained out, leaving added flavor.

A Broadway star’s post-show curtain speech, thanking you, the attentive, warm, wonderful audience, is still part of the performance. It can be 100% genuine, but the box office won’t refund your ticket price on account the actors were having fun. (Actors talk amongst their lot when someone in the audience is trouble… keep your cred in tact. 🤩) Have a great time, collect the compliments for your memoirs.

If you grew up watching The Ed Sullivan Show, you were probably aware of the breadth of talent he presented. In every form - singing, dancing, instrumentals - groups and solos- along with comics, circus and novelty acts - all of it showcasing the best. This excellent doc looks at his show through a more specific lens, amplifying his unique (and for some sponsors at the time, too much) support of black entertainers on network TV. I remember that as a kid, a lot of my awareness of black performers had to have been via Ed’s weekly show. Harry Belafonte, Smoky Robinson, Barry Gordy, Dionne Warwick among the interviewees.

This season is 1884-5. Although some references in the script name (or allude to) persons, places and events of historical record, it is not a documentary. Like Downton, It’s a soap opera with horses, pretty frocks, and people scared of The Gay.

I never hire under age 35. Once you get in that range, 1-2 yr discrepancy from fact isn’t a thing at all. As for accurate measurements, I say let’s eliminate length. Girth and displacement by volume are better predictors. We’re all liquid once inside, aren’t we? “oh, him? - he’s got barely a half pint”

Kitchen scales are most reliable. Any shape of pasta can be weighed. For two servings my “eyeball” measurement is half of any standard pkg and once opened, the other half is enclosed in a ziplock.

I think of top and bottom as verbs. One can potentially do both or neither in the same sexual encounter, which can be restrictive as a hiring possibility when one or the other partner gets labeled by the nouns. I find side pretty much a useless descriptor either way. Pictures do most of the talking, and once you have some new clients, I think you’ll be fine. 😘

I’m a fan of it as a bed for slow-braised meats - short ribs, ragout, lamb shanks - soft, sticky bites of meat in a flavorful wine sauce. I even buy the pre-cooked refrigerated tubes to and slice and pan-fry. If the flavor of corn is unappealing, add butter, garlic and parm. After 3 glasses of Chianti, you’ll adore it.

It can be a double edged sword. If I had to post a video of the one who absolutely lived up, I’d need to get out my VHS player.
