Jon: Random Notes…

jonheader.jpg

…on some stuff about stuff.

1.) As regular readers of this blog know, Cydwoq makes maybe my favorite shoes ever. Their styles are modern day interpretations of classic “old world” themes.

I love the dye process they use, which involves only vegetable based dyes, and results in what a co-worker of mine affectionately refers to as “zombie skin”. Anyway, they just recently debuted several new styles, and if any of you rich Gaycondo superfans want to buy me this pair ($285) in a size 46 that would be fantastic!

2.) Remeber the other day? When I said that the “gayest thing ever” was a video of Edith Beale dancing edited together with the song “Hung Up” by Madonna? Well, I rescind.

BACKSTORY….

A few months ago, I turned 25 and had a bit of a quarter-life reevaluation, which of course ended in me deciding that I must start exercising a.s.a.p….

Then, in a completely unrelated event, Paul and I decided to take a vacation to Las Vegas.

Which means I have to wear a swim suit.

In about 2 weeks!

Well, I have been doing a lot of sit ups to prepare. I was starting to feel like my workout had plateaued (I promise, even after saying that last sentence, I am not a douche bag), so I wanted to find a way to add resistance. It turns out that the only heavy “free weight” type thing I own is books (see? not a douche…), and the heaviest of them is Taschen’s “Fashion” which is a 15 lb behemoth! The two book, hard cover, 12 inch wide, 600+ page set is a fucking AMAZING collection of images from the Kyoto Costume Institute. If you are interested in fashion or design, it is a must read.

So, yeah. I hold these books behind my head and work on my abs….

And that’s the gayest thing ever.

3.) Speaking of our trip to Las Vegas….

We have never been to Las Vegas together before! Have you? Comment on what we should do on the cheap while we are there….

I think I’ve already convinced Paul that we need to see The Thunder From Down Under by the way…

Is that drunky water?

4.) And that is just part one of the Waverly Films classic, The Puppet Rapist. There are 5 more on youtube for you to see…

5.) Guess what?? I kind of copied the idea for this post from Craig over at one of my all time favorite blogs, Puntabulous. Go now! Read it every day!

Paul: Chelsea Clinton Loves the Gays!

…especially red dress wearing queens!

For the first time in ages the Oregon primary may actually count for something, and as a result we’ve been visited by the whole Clinton family over the course of the last few weeks. I really find Chelsea Clinton to be a sympathetic figure, I can’t imagine how crazy it must have been to grow up in the White House. Remember how everyone in the media shamelessly made fun of her back in the day? Couldn’t anyone give her a break? She was in her awkward stage, we all had one! I feel like many gay people can identify with that, as most of us were made fun of and harassed more than average.   

Chelsea was in Portland this weekend campaigning for her mom and before leaving town she stopped by the Red Dress Party, a wild fundraiser for local queer youth and AIDS charities. 2,000 people were in attendance, most of them gay men in drag. Chelsea cut short her earlier engagements to make it to the party. It’s rumored that after leaving she rode the MAX train to the airport for a flight to Pennsylvania for more campaigning.
