MaybeMaybeNot

I generally find that if something looks cheap but is packaged as experimental, it plays well in NYC but fizzles on tour once the hype has disippated, like the ridiculous tour of Sweeny Todd with Judy Kaye pouring a bucket of blood or the Oklahoma! tour that reportedly had large swaths of audiences walking out mid-show. I am not saying this Sunset Boulebard isn't brilliant; I am saying I am skeptical based on the concept. I am holding out for a Mame revival with four actors playing all roles with puppets and public doman still life painting as projections for sets. Imagine a bowl of fruit when Mame speaks of life being a banquet. Then, when Beau dies, they can use a dead phaesant. So deep. I'm getting chills already.

I was joking! But I am glad for any chance to see a baby Raven gif.

Wow. Not as healthy as I would have thought. But in all seriousness, I think I will skip trying this one.

Perhaps, but that wasn't the case that night. But perhaps the situation has been fixed.

So I am not alone. The last few years, I have seen a number of the Best Musical Tony winners that left me scratching my head and wishing I had stayed at home (but this was worth seeing for Carolee Carmello). After I posted, I realized how I should have described it. KA was trying ti be deep and heartfelt like Next to Normal, but it is more like a Saturday morning cartoon than a Tennessee Williams play.

I had someone try this with me too. The address led to a weird place, should have tipped me off before leaving my apartment.

Saw the tour and was curious what people thought. What a fantastic cast. Carolee Carmello is amazing, as always. But I thought the show itself was kind of stupid, like Dear Evan Hansen but with quirky music you don't need to listen to again. Would love to hear more people's thoughts on it.

Broadway cast recordings. It's not so much an intentional collection as something I enjoy listening to and own many of as a result.

I am sure I posted this somewhere, but it fits here too. I used to wonder about people like Reese Rideout, someone sexy, seemingly intelligent, happily married, who, at times, seemed to be willing to do anything to make a buck with his body. I thought, "Why don't you just get a job somewhere and be super successful at it?" When someone leaves the adult industry, you figure there must be something about it unappealing enough to take them away. Then, I moved across country to follow my dreams, got into my industry of choice and found myself miserable, gaining weight, loathing the thought of getting out of bed in the mornings, depressed, super stressed, and on a couple occassions, wondering if I actually wanted to make it home safely after work. One boss, I actually thought about seeing him a copy of the movie "Horrible Bosses" with a note saying, "This is you." My original career after college was education. I worked 80 hours a week and made so little, there times I bought classroom supplies instead of fruit for the week. I was a perfectionist and cared way too much. Inbetween, I had an incredible job, but there was no way I would be able to retire on the salary or even maintain my home long term. So, if someone likes doing this work and it feeds their spirit instead of kills it, I now give then a round of applause. Many of us work for companies that would pay us minimum wage and work us from dawn to dusk, if they could, forcing us to do the work of two people.

I tried the first episode and couldn't get into it. I meant to try another because I had heard so much about it but never got around to it. The director/creator, however, is right up my alley. I look forward to seeing his "Best Christmas Pageant Ever" movie next month.

I am so thankful I got to see him live once in "Into the Woods" on tour. I thought, "Now I can see why people love him." I also enjoyed him in the live capture of "She Loves Me." Thank God one of his performances will live on on screen. From all accounts, he seemed like an amazing person.

I am not ireally nto anal sex, which makes it all easier for me. But I do enjoy visiting public sex spaces to watch from time to time, and the multi-partner raw sex gives me pause when I think about all the other things that can be exchanged. I got an STI from just kissing someone, so in the years since, I have become too cautious. I don't want to play with my health, and if so many people are out there having unhibited fun, it seems easier for other things to pass around. As cougar said, there could be something new going around too at some point. My taste preference is for ongoing, meaningful connections with limited partners, but for me in LA, that is like buying a winning lottery ticket. So, part of me wishes I could let myself go, go on PrEP and DoxyPep, and join the fray.

I used to see these as church events.

It was a normal Adonis night. The two guys I wanted to see (not any of the headliners) didn't show, which was frustrating. Plenty of hot guys, though. I found a new favorite, Caleb. I haven't been back since the new lighting. It's still way too dark. If you can't see if a guy is cut or not, can't tell what their ethnicity is, or can't tell their size, it's too dark.

Is anyone going tonight?

Very tragic. I am so happy he set himself straight.

Maybe they are not just expecting, only hoping? Maybe these are people not worth responding to. I do not have a hiring fund, and when the massage guy in my area who was in budget moved away, I respected the profession too much to try offering someone less than they list. I do feel, as clearly you do, that it is disrespectful to negotiate with someone who gives so much of their body and risks their safety to make others feel good. What you offer people deserves to be respected with your asking price. I am sorry people don't respect that.

Thank you for sharing your story and the movie trailer. I hope I realize when it comes to my city.

I was really interested in this show, was going to get Netflix to catch it, but now I'm not so sure. It seems like another Ryan Murphy masturbatory exercise, but this time, it feels manipulative because he's exploiting real-life brothers. Am I wrong in this assessment? Is he saying this is what happened?

Another tragic waste of a life. He could have used all that energy to do remarkable things in this world, to help people better themselves, all while he had a healthy, kinky, consenual sex life on the side. Very, very sad. In my youth, I interviewed for a job working for him. I was heartbroken when I didn't get it. Well, that was a land mine avoided!

I am not experienced enough to answer that; however, I have worked for businesses before. We sold a service to our clients. We would not have provided the service without pay, but that didn't mean we didn't care for them as people and meet their needs for the right reasons. The staff got paid to provide a service, but they cared about the people they were working for, sometimes working a bit longer unpaid or taking client calls on personal time because they cared.

Not a fan of tattoos. Someone has to really stir my porridge to look sexy with excessive tattoos. Jordan Brandt of Brandt's Boys in one who remains sexy despite his awful taste in tattoos. Those arm sleeve tattoos looked sexy once upon a time, until Joe Jock turned 30, had a couple kids, and now draws attention to the lack of muscle definition in his arms.

That is tragic. The violence and crime in this country is out of control. All this over a watch? It saddens me to igo nto Targets and Walmarts to see laundry detergent and deodorant locked up. What's next???

This sounds so good! I wish I could see this with Sutton Foster and her standby Kara Lindsay. I'm not sure which one I wish I could see more!

I know he was just there as a coach, but Samuel Mikulak is still the hottest
