Imagine... nothing to read.Imagine... no music.Imagine... no dancing.Imagine... no drama. Imagine... no design.Imagine... no paintings.Imagine... no films.Imagine... no photographs. December 1 "International Day Without Art"

An exhibit by artists Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese is both angering and amusing visitors to the New York Public Library. Members of the Bush administration are featured in satirical mugshots, holding placards with the date each of them stated something "incriminating" about the Iraq war, according to the New York Daily News : "The installation includes audio clips of the administration members - complete with the sound of a flashbulb popping and a prison door slamming." Matthew Walter, director of communications for the state GOP, told the paper, "It is simply inappropriate to have political attack art, in the form of egregious doctored photographs of the President and other high-ranking officials who have dedicated their lives to public service, in a taxpayer-funded building frequented by schoolchildren and the general public." Raw Story reports : "Ligorano and Reese are well known for their political art: 'Line Up (2004-5), their series of p...

Thanks Bill, wherever you are.

We know it's a little early for holiday music but we couldn't help ourselves . That's right kids it's everybody's favorite Dutch "man band" Bear Force 1 making the yule tide gay and wishing you a Hairy Christmas. sorry

This Bowie mugshot was snapped in Rochester, New York following the singer's March 1976 arrest on a felony pot possession charge. Bowie, 29 at the time, was nabbed along with Iggy Pop and two other codefendants at a Rochester hotel following a Saturday concert. Bowie was held in the Monroe County jail for a few hours before being released. The Rochester Police Department mug shot was taken three days after Bowie's arrest, when the performer appeared at City Court for arraignment. The photo was provided to TSG by a Rochester man who is seeking to sell the one-of-a-kind image." via The Smoking Gun

Last year we told you the sordid tale of Bucky the pug . Bucky was forced to wear a Yoda costume just to amuse his so called owner. Sadly we report that this year we've found even more instances of E.P.C (Embarrassing Pet Costumes) the brutal evidence is below. Two German breeds? Sick Luaus are fun. For this little dog the Luau is IN HELL! And lastly... Oh my god Pat Robertson was right.

Straight English rugby union player Ben Cohen wants to let his gay fans know how much he appreciates their support. His rep tells Outsports : "Ben is currently in the middle of his testimonial year celebrating the last 10 years of his rugby career. He understands that a high proportion of his fans are gay and to thank them for their constant loyalty through good and bad times he is planning a gay night celebration in London in March. Full details will be announced later this year." Gee I wonder why "a high proportion of his fans are gay "? Hmmmmm

A pumkin carol to wish you all a Happy Halloween. Thanks to D.C.

This is the way it has always worked: the gays move into shitty neighborhood and clean it up. Then eventually they grow old and move in with each other and possibly get dogs and babies and then, by this point, we straights have come in. Eventually ugly stores are built by straight people and the gays go. Then the gays—who have a much better skills than any of those idiots currently moving further and and further out on the J train—don't have neighborhoods anymore, but they don't really care, and their nutty gaytopian communities become, well, the West Village. Or the Castro! And so then the annual Castro Halloween party gets canceled and therefore the Times declares the Gayborhood to be dead. Oddly enough for a pseudo-'gentrification' story, the Castro shindig party was canceled not because there are now too many babies and Pottery Barns but because last year someone shot nine people. Also there have been rapes and racial profiling and people kicking people with AIDS ...

This week's selection from the super cool blog Jesus of the Week . Forget about tortillas and pieces of toast we're talking J.C. everywhere.

The very angry “lady” is CRYSTAL LABEIJA the founding mother of the Legendary House of LaBeija and she’s a tad miffed that the younger, prettier ,pouttier (but not nearly as fabulous) Harlow has won. She expressing her concern to pageant organizer Sabrina over the evenings turn of events. Legendary Darling, Legendary!

We can only imagine what the pitch for this Japanese children’s show must have been. "Ok, a gun toting octopus and a summer squash fall in love with the same pink walrus and hi-jinks ensue. The scary thing is that knowing how harsh Japanese drug laws are the people who made this had not just eaten a full sheet of blotter.

Sorry we haven't posted in a while. It's truly been a rough couple of weeks. Not only are we over work we're also feeling very old. And then right in the middle of our little pity party we saw the brand new video from Siouxsie, Into a Swan . The song is great,the look is nice a freaky and Siouxsie is gorgeous! We don't think a music video has made us feel quite so young since we were...well...young. Kisses

Ok.So Marcel was not our kind of mime. He was however truly great. Au revoir Monsieur.

In the October Harper’s magazine Garret Keizer, in the Notebook pages, calls for a general strike on November 6, 2007 across the country. It's an amazing piece of writing and a really good idea.

Jesus can suck it. Domo is my god now.

Julius, the worst and most amazing craphole bar in New York City, a place of such filth that one was reluctant to touch even a bottle of beer, was seized by the Department of Taxation and Finance earlier this week.

We had this as a kid but we so wanted the Barbie fashion one instead.

That's right kids! It's the all bear Dutch disco sensation.

While Domo himself is small,this if not his world. Colorful singing puppets are scary . So scary .

I was there, man,I was there (sniff). Thanks Gawker

I have seen god. And he's on BBC 3 . All hail Mod Wolves.

Patti Lupone tearing her shit up. We know that this will come as a shock to some of you but we're a bit of a show tune queen. OK we're not going to front. We're a lot of a show tune queen and we are relatively sure that seat B-210 in the mezzanine of City Center in still a little wet from our seeing Patti LuPone in Gypsy last night. I'll post something a little more in depth when I've had some time to collect my thoughts. But for now,(as we say in Brooklyn)... Bitch tore that shit all to hell.

NO Way!

You guessed it we're in L.A. More to come.

We saw this amazing show at the Manhattan Center's Hammerstein Ballroom last night and we just had to share. Anti-Gravity flies, leaps,swings, bounces and looks REAL good doing it. Hot boys,sexy girls and a slamming house score make for a great two hours. If you're in town for the week-end check 'em out. They only play through Sunday so get tickets now!

Chris Isaak is 51 today.

just a bit more confusing it's... Gay or Jersey Has anyone else noticed that New York's Bridge and Tunnel Crowd (otherwise known as "Jersey") has adopted the Chelsea look? These days, you can barely tell the overly-plucked, overly-shaved, overly-worked out Jersey Guidos trolling New York's streets for drunk women from the overly-plucked, overly-shaved, overly-worked fellas down in Chelsea. This site documents "macho" Jersey's strange obsession with the gay look. For instance Paul not only leads his Friendster page with the line: "I just want to cuddle," but he's also emphasizes that he was in Phi Beta Kappa on his page. We don't know whether to laugh or cry. Sure we do... We're laughing our asses off.

Some gay fans of the original “Hairspray” movie want to leave the remake in the can. John Travolta is starring in an update of the 1988 camp classic which is due to come out next month, and some gay leaders are calling for a boycott of the film because Travolta’s religion has a tough stand on homosexuality. “Travolta, a prominent Scientologist, has no business reprising an iconic gay role, given his [religion’s] stance on gay issues,” notes Kevin Naff, managing editor of the gay-oriented Washington Blade. “It’s well known that Scientology rejects gays and lesbians as members and even operates reparative therapy clinics to ‘cure’ homosexuality.” Travolta plays mom Edna Turnblad in the flick — a role originally played by drag queen Divine. Laments Naff: “Divine is spinning in her grave.” We say skip it because it's gonna suck bigger than Ms Travolta on a three day bender in Bangkok.

Well summer seems to be here s o we thought we'd celebrate with The Flirtations cover of Surfin ' USA and this video of California's hunkiest.

Yes, the book is for real . And we want it. We also want a Dangerous Book for GAY boys. Chapter 1? "How to decorate a house" The one in the video is shabby as shit

FINAL SCORE Gays, Jews, Abortion doctors & unwed mothers: 1 Falwell: 0 Apartheid supporter and Martin Luther King Jr. critic Jerry Falwell is finally dead. We guess if you say enough ignorant, intolerant shit over enough time, God finally does call you home. Should be a busy year for Pat Robertson

Looking to wow your co-workers at the upcoming office meeting? How about a box of chocolates from The Incredible Edible Anus . What’s that? You’ve never eaten a piece of chocolate shaped like someones asshole before? Well, there’s no better time than the present. According to the folks at TIEA, chocolate has aphrodisiac properties and is also good for helping to ease a hangover. So, why do they have to be in the shape of a rectum? You ask such silly questions. Get your mouth on a piece of chocolate anus and see for yourself. via Dan Savage at The Stranger

College sumo wrestlers hold toddlers Rion Yuine, left, and Seira Aoki during a contest known as Crying Sumo on Saturday in Tokyo, Japan. Babies face each other and are coaxed to cry. The first to bawl is declared the winner. The ritual is a wish for the good health of the children, as crying reputedly is beneficial for babies The winning baby was then eaten.

but we're buying it anyway.

Still sweet at 61.

This is one drama queen we love. It's the official Eurovision Song Competition entry from Denmark.

Oh, My Sweet Lord , we barely knew Thee: " In response to the public outcry over the life-sized 6-foot chocolate Jesus, naked and hanging on a cross, during the Catholic Lent week leading up to Easter, the Roger Smith Hotel has decided to cancel the exhibit." While not being people of faith ourselves we can't help but ask: What would Jesus fon-du?

I’ve crossed over to the dark side, abandoned all hope thrown in the towel, read the writing on the wall and turned my back on all I hold dear. That's right.... I’m on a diet. No cookies, cakes, pies or chips. No pizza, General Tso’s Chicken, BBQ or fried dough of any kind. Just that thin flavorless grayish-green vitamin fortified gruel-like substance you’re forced to eat when you leave the matrix. Ok I’m exaggerating...a little. I’m on the Weight Watchers Flex Plan. Wheee! It’s actually a pretty cool set –up. The best part of it is that the whole thing is done on line, no meetings. Now I’m well aware that people who go to meetings tend to be more successful in their pursuit of a chafe free summer. I’m also aware that if I were to attend a typical meeting I would more than likely be killed and possibly eating by a large number of protein deprived housewives and office workers from Staten Island and Queens who wouldn’t appreciate my “unique” outlook on life. So I’m keeping it strict...

Thanks Keven

A middle-school principal in Bethlehem, PA was found naked in his office watching gay porn. He also had crystal meth and sex toys. No, it has nothing to do with New York or my life , but it's a fucking crazy story, okay? [ MSNBC ]

I’ve failed the doughnut test. As I was whining about my dead-end no-pro (not for profit) job, one hour and ten minute subway commute (a trip, which is slightly longer and just a little bit more uncomfortable than a WW II prisoner of war transport) and my 25 pound weight gain my friend Joni gave me the news. “You’ve failed the doughnut test, ” she said. The Doughnut Test is rather simple. If you can make it from the subway to your desk without first stopping at the doughnut cart you pass. Buy any of the myriads of delicious glazed treats you…fail. To say that I have simply failed the Doughnut Test is a well…a gross understatement. I have not only failed the Doughnut Test I have also failed the Muffin, Cruller, Cookie, Brownie, Cinnamon Bun and Rugula Tests as well. This morning as I stood on line at the little silver house of love (i.e. the doughnut cart) with the other pastry failures I became awed by the sheer numbers of these rolling huts of joy throughout the city and the numbers ...

This is a very funny spot for French Cable/Movie Channel Canal +. The woman speaking is telling her friend about a great movie she's just seen, Brokeback Mountain. Her friend has no idea what the film is about and the results are hillarious. The tag line at the end of the spot translates out to .."There are so many movies that deserve to be seen"

Happy Year of the Pig

Since tomorrow is St. Valentine's Day we thought we'd give you something romantic and a little bit hot. So...some footage from Smallville and a pop song and you have a love story for our time, Superman Loves Aquaman . We always knew those two were more than just Super friends . Don't even get us started on Zan and Jayna.

ThinkProgress puts it all in perspective : The death of Anna Nicole Smith yesterday was a feeding frenzy for the national media, and coverage of the war was drowned out: NBC’s Nightly News devoted 14 seconds to Iraq compared to 3 minutes and 13 seconds to Anna Nicole. CNN referenced Anna Nicole 522% more frequently than it did Iraq. MSNBC was even worse — 708% more references to Anna Nicole than Iraq.Then PLEASE go to ThinkProgress and watch the video compilation of the coverage, it's hysterical.
