ok, i’m working through my europe pictures and will be presenting them in 3 installments - the installments will be my favorite pic’s from a given place (i took over 400 pics in total; don’t want to bore you by posting all of them - i already forced cb to see them all… i can’t imagine how painful that was for him.

the first installment (today’s) is all about the big show (aka, the reason i was in berlin to begin with).

#1 - things sound so much better in french.

#2 - goodie bag’s for the attendees.

#3 - cool as shit light bulb.  the theater was swimming with these things…. they were all about 12-15″ long with a single filament running through them.  i loved these bulbs.

#4 - my job on this show was stage manager.  next to my post backstage was a mirror ball.  how can you not love a mirror ball.  they rock.  i call this “self portrait with mirror ball“.

#5 - this may very well be my favorite pic from the entire show, and keep in mind this is still in rehearsals.  the finale for one of the acts was to have his models come out in black under a boat-load of white netting/fabric (they were wearing black sheath dresses) and then they were illuminated with black light.  it was incredible and otherworldly.  they had these kick ass wigs on too that you only saw at the very end of the segment.  i love the movement in this pic.

#6 - i call this one “charlie’s angels shadows“.  you should of seen it when they were in full hair/wardrobe (hey, what can i say - i have more free time to take pictures during rehearsals).

#7 - ok, i’m completely in love with this woman.  seriously - i think i would switch teams to be with her.  she had the most kick-ass walk i’ve ever seen.  and the boots - the boots were amazing (ok, maybe i really am too gay if i noticed the boots… i have a pic of them somewhere).  she was just so damn sexy walking down the catwalk.

#7a - ok, here are the boots.  rock on!

#8 - rehearsing the men’s hairdressing segment.  ummm… can we say “gun show”?  i had the pleasure of having this guy change clothes down to black bikini briefs right next to me.  ummm… i need a moment.

#9 - for obvious reasons.

#10 - ok, now were on show day… i like the look of this pic, tho’ i wish the one girl wasn’t wearing a sweater.  it was pretty cold backstage tho’.

#11 - obvious reasons pt 2.  they just got done “spritzing” the boys to give them that “just worked out” look that’s so popular.  by the way, they were wearing shorty athletic shorts too.  double drool.  i love my fucking job!

#12 - this is the same girl as the above (the one with the boots).  great do, no?  pure sex.  behind the girl you’ll see someone with white and black face paint - that’s one of the girls that’s pictured in the above charlie’s angels shadow shot.

#13 - bringing the afro back baby.  and trust me this chick (all 6′2″ of her) was working the fuck out of this hair.  nice.

#13a - here’s another shot of her

just finished packing - so i’m in that weird neverland between having something to do and not having anything to do. so what am i doing then? looking for pictures of a naked christopher meloni. woof.

it’s christopher’s birthday today - he’s a studly 47 today. happy birthday man.

so in my own perverted way - i choose to celebrate and honor this auspicious day by showing you pictures of a very sexy meloni (and yea, there’s a naked one too - so if your offended by prison/shower sex, click here).

oh nikolaj, i swear, your the one.  i mean it this time.  we’re meant to be together.  your sexy and smoldering and eyes that could melt a glacier.  you are equal parts nathan fillion and viggo mortenson.  things will be different with us.  i will give you something your wife never could.  and i’d learn danish in a heartbeat.  call me!

 honor of james and i seeing “the other bolyn girl” featuring the hunky eric bana yesterday - i thought i would give ya’ll a slice of his hotness (i hate that word, but it works).  oh, and if your wondering - the movie is good… easily a renter tho’.  and natalie portman is such a conniving bitch in the flick; it’s fun!!

in honor of the truly terrible film ‘the nanny diaries’ co-starring the yummy mr. evans i thought ya’ll might need a respite from it being monday.  may i present pure sex:

the “star” -ronnie kerr - sexy/sweet/hunky.  perfect (tho’ he could be covered in ink, that would make it better).

it’s actually a sweet little film. 

you know, someday’s you just need a little dolly to brighten your day:

unrelated, i just found out that i’m getting this as my new work computer:

mmm pretty.  and it’s not an hp piece of shite.  (jonathan ives, call me - i’m gonna need a private tutorial).

jonathan ives

senior vice president of industrial design at apple.  

aka the guy that gave us the imac, ipod and iphone.

damn sexy guy.  he’s british too.  i heart the brit’s.  and his design aesthetic is sexy as hell. 

p.s., 6 days until i’m in ny!

things you should know that have direct bearing on my mood today:

sometime between saturday evening and sunday morning, my work-laptop’s hard drive decided to commit suicide in a most bloody and gory manner (ok, not really, but i’m imagining a battle of epic 300 proportions happening on my hard drive).  it’s fried crispier than the colonel ever thought possible.

my companies mis team has thus far been unable to salvage anything.

what this means?  it means that i’ve lost:

• all current documents related to the 4 shows i’m currently in production on
• photographs of the last 2 years worth of shows and events
• banner idea’s folder for this lil’ blog
• 30 gig’s of music in my itunes folder

now, before you so politely ask me “why, oh why didn’t you backup your files” - well, yes - that would have been a good idea.  but you must realize i’m on the road about 70% of the year… i need access to my files and music on a fairly consistent basis.  thankfully, just in december, i moved most of my historical 2007 files onto our network so i have those in my back pocket. 

but still - fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck!

unrelated:

this the harley davidson night rod vrscd.

this is sex on two wheels.

i want this bike so much i can taste it.

all matte black on black with just the slightest hint of chrome. 

that said, let me illustrate why i will never have such a work of beauty.

i would kill myself on a bike.

seriously.

but boy do i want one.

—-unrelated—-

as a follow up to my post about my day from hell yesterday, things went better today.  thank you for your private email’s and well wishes.  but none of you bitches commented on my day or my oscar pick’s in comments.  what up with that?  boo hiss. 

—-unrelated pt 2—-

as a follow up to my post about needing a copy of prince’s horny pony (which until this point was only released on vinyl and cassette), jeff over at jeff’s fancy blog came through with flying colors with a killer copy.  yay jeff.

yea, right - as if you needed the proof. 

well, if ther was any lingering doubt, this should change your mind.  when i was watching atonement yesterday i was reminded of something that happened a few years ago. 

it was the new years holiday and ray and jeremy were up from chicago.  it was their last night in town so we vegged and saw a movie (me and a movie, your shocked right?!) - ‘house of flying daggers’.

if you’ve seen the movie, you’ll know the scene i’m talkin’ about here - the one in the bamboo forest, an ocean of green. 

apparently the moment that the luminous ziyi zhang made her entrance in that green forest, i audibly sighed.  to which ray (or was it jeremy?) laughed and whispered “fag” in my general direction. 

in my defense, it was just so bloody beautiful.  scenes like this are why movies exist in the first place.

well, when watching atonement, there is a moment where keira is wearing the most incredible green dress.

oh my god beautiful.  i’m pretty sure i audibly gasped here as well.  this dress would look incredible on a (hair show) runway.

so either i’m the biggest fag in the world, or i just have a really big thing for green. 

or maybe both.

ok, now i’m re-thinking my future husband… here’s nick beyeler - world arobics champion and model and woofing-hot

he’s bi too so i at least have a tiny chance

nick - call me!

karl urban:

dead.fucking.sexy.

he’s playing dr. bones in the new star trek movie.  he may look familiar to you as he’s also been in:

the bourne supremacy & the lord of the rings movies. 

woof.

reasons to not see this film:

• burt reynolds as the kink ?!?@?!??
• ray liotta looking like a wiseguy (tho’ i do kinda wanna do ray in a sick sort of way)
• reminds me of those really bad dark-ages movies from the 80’s like flesh & blood & beastmaster

reasons to see this film:

• jason - fucking - statham looking hot as hell!

—-

however, then there is this: 

5 words: jason statham and jet fucking li! 

ok, that was 6 - sue me.  i love me some jason on jet ass kickin’  booh-ya! 

both flicks come out in january…. testosterone never looked so hot.

now, my close friends will tell you i can not tolerate the mass-marketed synthetic colognes and perfumes sold in macy’s and the like - it’s just that working where i work (no synthetic aroma’s with that chemically “binder” that makes the aroma stick to your body all day), i’ve become very - you might say uber-sensitive to synthetics.

hate ‘em.

however, i must say, i’m loving the new ad (above) for jean paul gaultier’s ‘le male’ fragrance.  that shirtless hunk on the right - ooh la la.  he has just the right amount of thug mixed with raw animal attraction and sex appeal.

woof.

(the other euro-twink boys in the ad?  eh…. get rid of ‘em)

just as a couple of days ago, i got zip…

part of it is the holidays, part work and part of it seasonal affectiveness disorder (for the record, until this year, i never ever thought this was a real disorder - all i can say is now “lord, i believe”.  i’m so eff’ing tired lately it’s ridiculous.)…. 

so for no other reason than he’s hunky and hot, may i present for you my future husband jake gyllenhaal:

and here’s one more - a bonus…. one that features jake and his oft-rumoured gay lover (supposedly!)…. a boy can wish can’t he?

ok, i’m going to go take a nap now.  cheers.

many of you enjoyed the ‘men of hgtv’ post a couple weeks back.  well as i was enjoying my morning toast and flipping channel’s - i landed on tlc’s trading spaces spin off ‘while you were out’.  always a fun little show (today there were giving a condo to a down-on-his-luck father and 10 year old son (open tear floodgates…now!) - but i was specifically reminded how f’ing hot the guys are on this show.  allow me to provide examples:

evan farmer…. the host.  funny, affable and always willing to take off his shirt:

next up; andrew dan jumbo - carpenter #1:

and then there is carpenter #2, jason cameron - former falcon model… err… men’s health model… just look at the guns (the rest ain’t bad either):

woof.

woof.

woof.  may buddha bless home improvement shows!

with voenix rising’s ‘thursday ink’ on haitus (boo… hiss… sad kyle) it’s up to me to take that ball and run with it….

there’s more after the jump.  and by more, i mean, nsfw, not for lesbians, not for prudes, not for straight guys or some farm animals.  go ahead jump.

hey kids, still sick here - so nothing terribly interesting to read, but maybe you’ll appreciate something interesting to see:

well, the first flu bug of the season has attacked.  as such, i’m holed up on my couch under a comfy blanky, with juice and kleenex near by…  my ritual when sick is to watch hours and hours of hgtv in between naps. 

as i’ve been watching today, i’ve been reminded how many uber-hot guys there are on hgtv and as nobody really wants to hear about my being sick, i thought i’d present you a smattering of super hot guys from hgtv (if only there were a calender like this!):

rick spence / curb appeal

rick spence is the perfect man.  in every way.  he’s hunky and handsome, while acerbically witty with a super hot butt (not to mention package!).  i won’t watch the episodes of curb appeal that he doesn’t host.  there’s just no reason too - the other hosts are horrid.  hgtv, take a hint from tlc (they’re bringing page davis back to host trading spaces) and re-install rick as the sole host of the show.

carter oosterhouse / carter can

wow.

woof.

where to begin?  carter of course got his start on tlc’s trading spaces - but now has his very own show on hgtv, ‘carter can’.  i’ll just say, carter can do anything to me he likes.  tho’ he should always do the show shirtless.

steve watson / don’t sweat it

i first fell for steve on the show “monster house” and now i see he’s moved to hgtv to host ‘don’t sweat it’ - i haven’t seen it yet, but i’m enjoying the frequent commercials i’ve seen today.  he can sweat it up any time. (he’s got an amazing butt)

woof.

lee snijders / design on a dime

lee’s an anomaly for me - he’s a bit of a pretty boy, but damn he’s sexy.  when he’s gettin’ down and dirty in work pants and tight t-shirts, i’m glued to the tube.

dave sheinkoph / design on a dime

i’ve talked about dave before - he’s dreamy…. :sigh:  again, he’s the perfect mix of hunky/handsome and funny.  the perfect mix for me

matt watson / design guys

mmm…. what a hunky side of beefy goodness.

paul daly / divine design

paul is amazingly hot (this picture does not begin to do him justice damnit)… great guns, awesome face, sexy body - woof.  woof.  and woof.

per his request, here’s a pic of cb’s future husband.  not bad eh?

(amazing what kind of pic’s you can find on the internet, in’it?)

wow, has it really been almost a week since my last post?  well, ya - suck it bitches… i’ve been out of commission a bit… just deal!

cb and i had a killer random saturday….  first we hit up some vintage 50’s - 70’s antique shops in st paul…. this is a treasure was not to be missed:

(it lights up too!)

for all the eames chairs and vintage china - you gotta love kitsch like this…  wow, it really has everything - it’s a shrine! it’s natural! it’s synthetic! it’s pink!  it’s jesus surrounded by shells and schlock.  awesome!

then we hit up a mall to kill time at the apple store before a movie.  after the apple, there was a quick visit to brookstone where cb got his gallop on:

(i swear the boy can’t pass up an igallop without testing his thigh muscles on it)

after that, we took in lars and the real girl.  words really can’t come close to how much i love this movie.  it’s quiet and smart and small and grand.  quite possibly one of the most genuinely ‘real’ movies i’ve seen in a long long time.  ryan gosling (my future husband) gives a beautiful, understated performance.  emily mortimer, paul schneider (cb’s future husband) and patricia clarkson round out the supurb cast.  this movie touched me in a way that hasn’t happened in a long time. 

after that we hit up innuendo and camp for a couple of beers.  innuendo is a local dive-y gay bar (featuring one of the worst drag show’s i’ve ever seen), whilst camp is just a good (gay) place to people watch while having a great cocktail.

just for fun - my future husband:

nice f’ing day. 

just a brief note today (i’m in a two day course on environmental threats that makes al gore’s ‘an inconvenient truth’ look like a disney flick - so not much in the terms of an update until tomorrow) -

it’s my very dear friend landry’s birthday today.  no doubt she’s celebrating in high style (much alcohol will probably be consumed), not to mention ton’s of kinky lesbian sex… wouldn’t have it any other way.

so then, cheers to you landry on your birthday.

happy birthday!!!

as my vacation of doing nothing but becoming one with my couch comes to an end (i need to go into the office for a bit this afternoon), i’m lamenting going back to work so i’m avoiding all reality by becoming lost in the 80’s goodness that i love so much.

this morning i’ve been listening non-stop to the thompson twins.  oh how i love thee tom and alannah and joe.  pure pop perfection (today’s pop stars could learn a thing or two)… and tom’s voice is like sex for me - it’s a guaranteed way to get me in bed; play thompson twins/babble/international observer - just a chance to hear tom’s voice get’s me a lil’ weak.

so then, here - one of their masterwork’s in video form, hold me know (…sigh).

home from miami - so.very.nice.to.be.home for a while.. i’m anxious to get back to day-to-day life. 

i was thrilled when i got home when i opened my mailbox and this greeted me:

now, firstly - ew is my bible.  i read it cover to cover.  i love it.  but to be greated with the perfection that is mr. crowe - well hmmm if that didn’t just make my day, not much else will.  i loves me some russell.  god he’s dead.fucking.sexy.

— 

for some cool as shit graphics check this out:

it’s an alternative version of the video for siouxsie’s ‘into a swan’.  i’ve loved that mirror effect since prince and the revolution did it for the ‘when doves cry’ video… i think it’s used well here.

—

copies of a couple blake lewis tracks (the 6th cut off of last season’s american idol) circulating around the net… i gave a quick listen to ‘break another’ and ‘know my name’.  of the two, ‘break another’ has a bit of potential. it’s typical pop-fluff mixed with a bit of disco and of course, that scat singing that blake’s known for.  ‘know my name’ however is complete dreck.

—

speaking of dreck, the new britney came out today. 

now - i’ve given the album a listen (no i didn’t pay for it - it’s everywhere on the net)… and i gotta say, it’s not quite the disaster i thought it might be (color me surprised).   that said however - that album cover is terrible [the girl/record company machine has never done great cover art].  the album itself is full of beats (toxic was certainly a precurser to this highly electronic album) and there are some pretty slammin tunes… let’s face it however, this is less to do with britney as much as it’s about her producers (bloodshy & avant (from ‘toxic’), the clutch & the neptunes).

there’s an urgency to these hook heavy/slamming dance-floor tracks… killer loops - hot production, and utterly disposable - all at the same time (but really isn’t that fairly normal in today’s next-best-thing world)… time will tell if the album holds up well - but for now, it’s the perfect summertime record (wait - time to check the calender… last time i checked these kind of jam’s fair better in summertime)… the nice thing here is that for a couple of tracks you forget that she’s a trainwreck… and you remember this is a girl that is capable of a funtime dance jam… it’s nice to get lost in pop-fluff every now and then…

…at least until i need some substance…. speaking of where did i put that me’shell ndegeocello record…?

—

*don’t you think that’s probably the first time siouxsie & britney have been mentioned in the same breath?  lol

ok, well not really fully naked, but semi-naked is still good….

happy birthday ryan.  come blow out your candle <eg>…

he makes me want to be a better person… (and grow my beard back)

just a quick post to wish my future husband a happy birthday!

liev schreiber - birthday boy!  come here and let me give you your b’day spanking!

i fell for him way back when he co-stared with parker posey in party girl.  the man positively smolders.  his move behind the camera means i get to drool less and less about him, but i’ll always have party girl.

oh, and i’m about to go plop down too much money on a new pair of eye glasses… i positively hate shopping for glasses - it means i spend way too much time staring at myself in the mirror. 

wish me luck.

ok, i really thought i could live with the old template - after all it had everything i wanted, a darker, simple theme with a nice clean layout.

i just couldn’t get past the title header being left-justified.  i’m far to anal about shit like that.  i need there to be balance.  i need things to be centered.  ugg.

things i loved:

• the white text on a dark grey background

• the clean, easy to read font.

• the font size

• simple navigation

things i hated:

• the left justified title banner.

so we will be trying this new template.  i don’t **love** the white background, but i think it looks ok.

to thank all of you for my incessant iphone blogging, here’s a little bit of chris evans hotness:

it’s iphone bitch.  (only my new iphone would have so rocked that dance number at the vma’s - britney could learn a thing or two).

 yup, i succumbed to the awesome power of iphone.  i’m officially no longer a crackberry user (and one wonders, which device is more addicting).  while i really had every intention of waiting for v2, the price reduction did help.  and so did playing with a friends last weekend while in detroit. 

i gotta say, this was the easiest, most non-problem/head scraching phone installation ever.

—

while you may not be able to tell from the pic (it’s the last pic i took with my blackberry - it’s an amazingly bad camera)… macy’s has already started setting up christmas displays. 

that’s. just. wrong.

it makes me want to not buy anything from macy’s - it’s only sept 13 for fuck sake!

—

off to cleveland tomorrow for a show this weekend, then to baltimore for a sales meeting. 

i’m

almost

done

with

the

travel

insanity.

wish me luck.

i know where my bread is buttered - you lot, you love to see nearly naked chris evans (132 people clicked clicked on the last chris post on saturday) and i’m here to do give you what you want….

without further delay:

god i love the detroit airport; everywhere you look there are some seriously hot guys… so much so that it was actually a topic of conversation at work today (in detroit for a show)… everyone was talking about the hotness.

i’m sure this is morally questionable, but i couldn’t resist taking a quick cell phone shot of one particular hottie. 

woof:

promotional pic for recoil’s (aka alan wilder) new disk subHuman

a) i love this new disk… to quote one review “the new album gives the term ‘electro-blues’ actual flesh and bones.

b) i’m really digging the first single prey.  especially the ‘reduction’ mix from itunes.

c) i’ve always had a lil’ crush on alan wilder.  ssshhh… don’t tell anyone.

d) if anyone’s interested in checking it out, and if your not familer with recoil’s work - just a word of warning… this isn’t easy/casual/breezy music.  to say it’s a lil’ challenging is an understatement.  but it’s beautiful just the same.

a very special warm birthday wish to my future husband; jeremy piven… :sigh: he’s dreamy.
