Or should I say “My life as Derek Zoolander….?”
I was asked to participate in a photo shoot last night as a model for the MALE Center/Aids Action Committee.
Hopefully one of my pictures will be used.
I must say that my skin was like “BUTTAH” after having my makeup done……no I am not going to start to wear foundation…..although it does end the bags and wrinkles……..
After the test picture (to test the light levels) they asked me if there was a wallet in my front pocket…..so I said “No I am just excited to be here...” So that set the tone for the evening.
Let me just say that it is harder than it looks. The photographer was fun and the staff made it enjoyable. But after 75 minutes of standing on my mark, head tilt left, smile!!!, soft smile, serious, tilt your head, cross your hands, hand in pocket, thumbs in pocket, hands in back pocket, serious, laugh side view, work it, work it work it….I was tired. It was fun though.
At one point the photographer told me to “Do an Austin Powers impersonation” (I made guns with my hands at the camera, and yelled yeah baby), then I had to do the peace sign, then I did my own thing.
They will be sending me a copy of all the pictures on a CD and hopefully I will appear on their 2007 media.
All in all it was a fun narcissistic evening!!!! |

| Life In Boston |
[Nov. 17., 2006|01:13 pm] |
For those of you who have never been to "Bawstin", this is a good
Guideline. I hope you will consider coming to "Beantown" in the near
Future.. For those who call New England home, this is just plain great!
Information on Boston and the surrounding area:
There's no school on School Street, no court on Court Street, no dock on Dock Square, no water on Water Street.
>Back Bay streets are in alphabetical "oddah":
Arlington, Berkeley, Clarendon, Dartmouth, etc.
So are South Boston streets: A, B, C, D, etc.
If the streets are named after trees (e.g. Walnut, Chestnut, Cedar),
You’re on Beacon Hill.
If they're named after poets, you're in Wellesley.
Massachusetts Ave ! ! is Mass Ave; Commonwealth Ave is Comm Ave;
South Boston is Southie. The South End is the South End. East Boston is
Eastie. The North End is east of the former West End. The West End and
Scollay Square are no more; a guy named Rappaport got rid of them one
night. Roxbury is The Burry, Jamaica Plain is J.P., Arlington is "Ahhhh-lington
Definitions:
Frappes have ice cream, milkshakes don't.
If it is fizzy and flavored, it's tonic.
Soda is CLUB SODA. "Pop" is Dad. When we want Tonic WATER, we will
ask for Tonic WATER. The smallest beer is a pint.
Scrod is whatever they tell you it is, usually fish.
If you paid more than $6/pound, you got scrod.
It's not a water fountain; it's a bubblah.
It's not a trashcan; it's a barrel.
It's not a Spucky, it's a Sub!
It's not a shopping cart; it's a carriage.
It's not a purse; it's a pock-a-book.
They're not franks; they're haht dahgs. Franks are money in France.
Police don't drive patrol units or black and whites they drive a”crooza".
If you take the bus, you’re on the "looza crooza".
It's not a rubber band, its an elastic.
It's not a traffic circle, it's a rotary.
"Going to the islands" means Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket.
If something's good, it's "pissah". If something's really good, it's "wicked pissah".
At Fenway park there is a “green Monstah”
The Pat's = The Patriots
The Sox = The Red Sox

Don't wear Orange in Southie on St. Patrick's Day.
Things you should know:
There are two State Houses, two City Halls, two courthouses, two
Hancock buildings (one old, one new for each). The colored lights on
top the old Hancock tell the weathah': "Solid blue, clear view...."
"Flashing blue, clouds due...." "Solid red, rain ahead...." "Flashing
red, snow instead...." - (except in summer; flashing red means the Red
Sox game was rained out)
Route 128 is also I-95 south. It's also I-93 north.
The underground train is not a subway. It's the "T", and it doesn't run all night (fah chrysakes, this ain't Noo Yawk).
Order the "cold tea" in China Town after 2:00 am you'll get a kettle
full of beer!
Bostonians... think that it's their God-given right to cut off
someone in traffic. Bostonians...think that there are only 25 letters
in the alphabet (no R's).
Bostonians...think that three straight days of 90+ temperatures is a
Heat wave.
Bostonians...refer to six inches of snow as a "dusting."
Bostonians...always "bang a left" as soon as the light turns green,
And oncoming traffic always expects it.

weakness.

At the moment it is 62 outside and very humid.....WTF??? It is November 17th.....I will gladly take it.....especially with the fact that my Lawyers are out today, as is the GM, and HR so casual friday means that I am wearing shorts!!! I am sure that it will get cold soon enough.....
Any Scissor Sister fans out there......
Friday, December 8th, 7pm at Avalon...general admission and its only 20 bucks! They were especially good at the Orpheum last month, and rampant dirty thoughts run through my mind whenever I see BabyDaddy.....and Jake isnt bad either although I'd crush him.....

Can anyone recommend a fairly cheap-ish Hotel in SFO? I am going to be there at the end of December through New Years.
Thanks |

Internal Investigation Rocks ‘Runway’
Competition all sewn up.
By Jada Yuan
How bad at sewing is Project Runway final-four contestant Jeffrey Sebelia? A few months ago, the show’s uneliminated contestants left the supervision of the producers to go home and work on their collections. But when they returned for their group show at Bryant Park, fellow contestant Laura Bennett accused Sebelia of cheating. Three weeks earlier, Tim Gunn, Parsons fashion design chair and the show’s mentor, had visited Sebelia in L.A. and declared, “He had a lot of work to do.”
Word reached Bennett, whose mother had met and become friendly with Sebelia’s mother. Upon seeing Sebelia’s miraculously finished collection, Bennett told the producers she believed Sebelia had outsourced his sewing—which would disqualify him. “His collection was very ambitious,” says Gunn. “I wasn’t born yesterday.” Adding fuel to the fire was Sebelia’s rather unfinished style of construction throughout the show. “We took the accusation very seriously, and we did a very intense and thorough investigation,” says Gunn. Bravo would not allow him to reveal the resolution. The three finalists will be revealed September 27, and the winner October 18. Sebelia didn’t return calls.
So what do you think may happen |

I went to a goodbye party for a former co-worker last night, and we ended up on a roof deck apartment looking over the skyline of Boston. It was really nice. We were fondly remembering our foreign jaunts across Eastern Europe when all of a sudden she brought out a bottle of Absinthe.
I am not talking about the faux "absente" crap that they still here in the states...but the real honest to goodness stuff. (I didint hallucinate...:-(
I was feeling very gay sipping my absinthe, reminiscing about journey across Europe.....
It was then that she revealed that she had the biggest crush on me....before knowing that I was Big Gay Kev.......
I will miss her when she moves out West...... |
