@Moondance the breadth of your knowledge of photography borders on the encyclopedic. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I LOVE photography....and still I never knew the iconic Lyonel Feininger photo of the man holding the camera in front of his face....was of the same man who would go on to take the also iconic James Dean in Times Square photo. Amazing!

Beautiful thread....thank you so much for posting these.

Ahhhh....the old "two bottoms, no top" dilemma. Jesus Christ....just invite me over and I'll bang you both out while you two make out. Wait....this is sort of like the straight guy's two lesbians fantasy. Ok....that thought just made me REALLY horned up....grin

More like "hold on to your wallet". Nonetheless, if he can get it...I say good for him!

They show up in NYC in the Christies, Sotheby's, and Philips Photography auctions pretty frequently. One of my great regrets is not bidding on a sexually charge Warhol Polaroid of a young Sylvester Stallone.

I love when Warhol and Mapplethorpe Polaroids come up for auction. To me they feel even more real and "of the moment" than some of their more "refined" works...which of course sell for more more. My only worry is how long the Polaroid image will last.. For investing...I only trust old school B&W.

Seriously, just like that 25 year old snitch that leaked confidential government files. For a generation raised on computers.....they're really naive about technology.

So close to having a mature response....and then you wrote these gems. I'm guessing you're bitter about being discussed here in a not so positive light. I get that. Especially since much of the negative comments are about schedules and are from people you've never met. Unfortunately you're developing a reputation for being flakey and unreliable. As hard as negative critism is to hear, handling it and using it to better yourself is a big part of being a mature adult. Do yourself a favor and poke around the message board a little. There's tons of useful information here for a young man like yourself.

You're not going to get much better than having a Silver Dollar Seal of Approval. I trust him more than I trust my own mother. He's never steered me wrong.

The more I read....and listen....the happier I am I passed on this one. The tickets are outrageously expensive....for that price I want a life altering experience. Sadly, this show doesn't appear to deliver as much as everyone had hoped.

Funny, I have convinced myself that I can "feel" the energy if my masseur is naked or not...even if I'm face down and cannot tell. Even funnier.....I believe that it matters. Oh Christ...now we're into Schrödinger's cat....and my dick is getting hard. Is it homosexuality?..... or quantum physics that's making me hard?.... and more importantly does it matter? Enjoy the erection men!...everything else is a false god!

You KNOW that man is FUN in bed!

I would say I've been there 5 or 6 times. I agree and I've tried to do the math to figure out exactly how buffdaddy is paying the light bill. Then I layback, relax, and figure.. wtf...I'm here to get my rocks off...not run another god damned company. Not to mention he's been doing this a lot longer than I have. I don't need to worry about it...as long as they're here...it's all good! Now where did that Statem Island Guido go...?

Hmm....his rentmen ad says he's "Ivy League educated".....but his bio says he studied at UC Berkeley and Parsons School of Design....last I checked....neither one is "Ivy League". Well, that and his rentmen age is listed as "37" years old...but his DOB on his Bio is 1969...... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Mackenroth I mean I understand an escort lying about their age...but their education?

You have a Gulfstream....but no private driver? Seriously?

Let me guess....you can't touch his hair? Grin

Supposedly "smart" people will always find stupid ways to spend just under their income. The "dumb" ones?....of course live way beyond. I would say these people are living well beyond their income....they just don't realize it. I've lived in Manhatten on $20K per year and I've live in Manhatten on over $1M per year. If anything I was happier living on $20K. Yeah it was "easier" to live on $1M...but not nearly as much fun. I always prided myself on knowing I could drastically cut expenses at anytime...and I was going to be "ok". One benefit of being poor when you're young is that you realize early on that most shit in life you don't really need. Unfortunately, its easy to spend cash and become a slave to your income. Saving for tomorrow isn't sexy.....that is until you're in your 70's with a bankroll...then?....it's like fucking Viagra! The couple in this example need three things: 1) an accountant 2) a budget 3) fewer rich friends with whom they are trying to keep up.

She's right. It's better to keep it on campus and try to regulate it as best you can. It's far from perfect...but the alternative is having the frat system totally out of the University's control. That would be complete and utter chaos and many more young men would die every year than do today. If they did somehow magically manage to banish all free association by the students (good luck).... ...the students would vote with their wallets and go to a school with fraternities instead of one without....sad but true. Now multiply that effect 100x when they're drunk and/or high....which of course they are...they're college students in a fraternity....it's a "no brainer".....literally!

These situations are horrible, for everyone involved. Unfortunately, it's been going on for as long as I can remember. It's easy to blame the brothers....but there are so many other factors involved. At the end of the day, they're just a bunch of immature morons in their early 20's. I wish I could take the moral highroad and say I was different, but I wasn't....I was just a whole hell of a lot luckier.

I often think that I'm the only human alive....that HATES this play. I saw the original broadway production...to me it was long, boring, and pointless. When the angel finally appears...I bust out laughing. My best straight friend at the time said...."you need to see it again...you didn't get it." I tried...and I still hated every minute of it. Remember...the original production came out at the height of the AIDS crisis..... I despirately wanted to understand and love this play...but I just didn't.

Mayonnaise It was a picnic...we were desperate...and bad planners! Seriously....we were on a picnic....how is that NOT going to end in fucking?

Baller, I just found this beautiful thread. Thank you for sharing. While the "family" life was never for me....I do admit to a twinge of jealously when I read your posting and the obvious love and joy they contain. Congratulations on being a great dad!

Fuck...I don't even LIKE blonds....but I'd still do him.....just to complete the trifecta!

I've been a couple of times and I've really enjoyed it. Buff Daddy is a class act and it's reflected in the men he cultivates. Everytime I've gone, each dancer has made it a point to stop by and politely say hello. A little harmless flirting but no hard sells. It hasn't been that busy when I've been there. About 6 dancers and 3-4 patrons at any given point in time. That's fine with me. Personally I don't like too many distractions. I generally lock onto one dude and spend my time and money with him. That's just my nature. I've never noticed jealousy or any pressure from guys I'm not into that particular night....which of course dramatically increases the odds of me spending time with them in the future. You can tell even the guys you're not spending money on are paying attention and trying to make sure you're having a fun time. Smart dancers know their day will come and that what's good for the club is ultimately good for them all. The guys he advertises for the night actually show up...which is a another huge plus. There's no booze....but there are soft drinks and water available. I just stop by a near by bar on my way over and have a martini before hand. I actually prefer that set up. Since I have to drive a good ways to get home....it keeps me out of trouble. The place looks a little industrial and scarey from the outside, but it's actually pretty nice in the room where the dancers are performing and the private rooms are spotless. And there's almost always one Long Island Guido in the mix....what's not to like?

Actually, I believe that is the cap on what they are REQUIRED to offer if they can't get you to your final destination within 2 hours (4 hours international). There's nothing that says they CAN'T offer more.....they're just not REQUIRED to do so. Right now....I'm betting United would be willing to pay a shitload more...to make this all go away. Funny, all the laws seem to be written about being "denied boarding".....he was allowed to board...that wasn't the issue....it's the forceful removal AFTER he was allowed to board.....I don't see such clear laws about that....I'm willing to bet that that's why United it playing up his "disruptive" behavior....for which they CAN forcefully remove you. The lawyers are going to have a field day with this one!
