Less Content, More Colour Scheme and Bzooty

[nfotxn]

A) Hot Fashion

The weekend, amongst other things, involved the purchase of pink underpants. So if you excuse the pandering it's much appreciated. Sometimes it's fun to focus on colour scheme and bzooty. Wil Munro I am not but it makes me happy and feel just a little bit dangerous walking down the street. At any moment my soft pink secret could be revealed! So thrilling, almost kinky.

Some may remember a rant in which I came down on American Apparel. And I still hold true to my views that the idea of garment industry ethics as practised for the urban bourgeois are more symbolic than revolutionary. It's marketing that gets under the skin of the socially minded but consumptively active hipster of the mid-00s. And that symbolism alone doesn't particularly separate the company for the majority of the fashion industry in my mind. It could grow into something larger. And I hope it does. But a spade is a spade.

However the clothes are fierce and I bought some underpants and a shirt. So there, I'm a raving hypocrite. Although I still defend that I am simply living, thinking and investigating. Think what you will.

B) Politics

I had a nice split-second decision weekend in Toronto. Greg and André hung out at very short notice Friday at O'Grady's where many an LJ gay was seen. I debated with a friend's visit bear-toy about American media problems. He unfortunately was of the opinion that CNN is a "liberal" news outlet. Holy crap Mary, myopic or what?Tip of the iceberg but need nothing more be said, really. It ended amicably and I bought him a Molson Canadian as a token of international friendship.

Saturday was gorgeous with David, Mark and their gang of merry urbanites at Rocco's Plum Tomato on Bloor West. Just next to Honest Ed's of all places. It's Ed Mirvish's 91st birthday you know! That aside the food at the restaurant was delicious and surprisingly cheap. Knowing a waiter is good that way, however. Whom I totally made out with at my Welcome Home party when I came home from Scotland. A tad awkward but more school boy and tongue-in-cheek would describe the unspoken chemistry, if you'll pardon the pun.

Afterwards there were chocolate martinis and coffee at Chrissy J's. One of my favourite neither bear identifying nor chasing gays. I keep forgetting what great people the city is full of.

C) Blogging (oh god no!)

So I'm not sure what to think about blogging lately. Is everyone bored of it or actually going out and doing things because it's summer? I'm sure things will kick up in the fall and winter when those of us in icier climes are confined to the indoors a touch more. I'm still going to try and bring back the beat a bit now that I am feeling a bit better about Mom and all.

Yay!

Love the pinks!

Happy to see you pop up again.

I was just thinking today that I haven't blogged nearly enough lately so I threw out a little BS.

LJ guilt is an odd thing.

Yes, blogging is nearly like modern plausible telepathy of sorts. Some times it is, if anything, just a sign you're still there. And that's fine.

Mr. Chree-itude,
The world needs a culturally, sexually and rhetorically updated Quentin Crisp. I nominate YOU, BNC. Yes, YOU.

'Nuff said.

Go forth and be butchistically fabu,
Abearius

The full name is Brodacious Crisp, my man. Although it's kinda uncouth to give yourself a nickname, isn't it?

By the power invested in me through my vows to the Universal Life Church [Ministry], the University of California [M.A., Comparative Literature], and the Mckinnon Institute of Body Work and Massage [Swedish Certificate], I hereby dub you "Bodacious Noble Crisp," to be known commonly as "Bodacious Crisp" until your death, or until such time as the Throne revokes this title.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

Blogging.

It comes in waves, doesn't it? Usually after some big event everybody presents and discusses, then things die down again before momentum builds. And with the scorchers weatherwise everybody is having these days, I think people are trying not to overheat their brains and just relaxing away from anything requiring writing, reading, or thinking (except for me; why I don't know).

I'm overcome with lust when I look at that photo.

We need some men like you in Texas.

I do not know why those undies reminds me a box of strawberry Nerds candies.
They are sweet! (literally)

Take care!

The pink goes well with the fur. Not sure why I haven't been blogging much lately though I do feel guilty about it. I keep reading everyone elses, but maybe it is the summer and everyones out having fun with no time to blog.

[foodpoisoningsf.livejournal.com]

Nice. Pink.

[bigredlug.livejournal.com]

Something about the pink secret and that furry belly. Me like.

Happy to know that some cubs and bears are aware of fashion, instead of the 80's jeans and black tee look.

[iposthuman.livejournal.com]

[bearringsd.livejournal.com]

THOSE PINKS ARE CUTE! Do they make 'em in boxer or boxer briefs style? 'Cuz I like my boys to have some room to play, y'know?

[danlmarmot.livejournal.com]

Petulant too.

[thekingoftoday.livejournal.com]
