Stereotypical Pooves

Is it just me, or is the standard view of gay males one of the muscle mary in a white t-shirt?

Let me explain: The BBC have a stock "gay" picture they used to trot out a lot; it was of two boyz, holding hands, in white t-shirts. I can't find the exact one, but this article gives you an idea.

The reason this has my goat is Coronation Street this evening which featured the morning after of "Todd" spending the night with "Karl". He goes to bed with a man and miraculously wakes up wearing matching white t-shirts! Aaaargh!

I'll update this with some pictures to illustrate my point later!

Sorreeee!

Mr. J reminded me that I haven't posted here for ages - this is true.

Have some more photos as a consolation:

He has a name!

Thank you to the lovely Jarrod who won "The Games"; a cross between Big Brother, Celebrity and Lycra. You have avenged all those people who took the piss at school saying gay people can't play sport - sod you all.

On a similar vein, I was rather annoyed that he was continuously mentioned as "Mr Gay UK" - HE HAS A FUCKING NAME! Thanks must go to Jamie Theakston (the presenter of the show) for finally dismissing this bloody awful title once he'd won - awww bless.

Not what I expected

Went to the recording of the first of the new series of "Have I Got News For You" at the London Studios last night.

It was pretty well organised, but if anyone else is going, get there nice and early (6pm is about right) as you're not guaranteed to get in and there was already a big queue when we got there.

Inside it's a bit wierd - the set is tiny (and very short), and it's definitely a strange experience to be sat there and witnessing it all first hand. Filming took about 2 hours, but I'd say that the funniest bits will probably be cut - Jermaine Greer blurting out "Fat as Fuck" was probably the highlight!

Hung, young... and delicious!

Went to Expectations today to pick up some bits and pieces. As Steve was trying on some rubber gear, the manager asked whether he fancied doing some modelling of their wares (for their website and magazines etc.).

After some cajoling on my part, Steve said yes and the guy took down Steve's contact details in his book; underneath which he wrote young, hung and delicious!. He gave us a 10% discount on our purchases and we left to the sound of "mmmm! delicious!" ringing in our ears...

copycat, copycat

My boyfriend has just started his own blog... woo.

It does use MT (like this one) so I guess that's something. He's normally far, far too proud to use anyone else's code and would rather reinvent the wheel.

Photograph me again!

Had some more photos done today, this time mainly arty - the bondage & fetish shots were a nice add on. Give it a couple of weeks and we should have them back from the fantastic Grant. Having seen the test shots they look really good :)
