I had this boyfriend half a decade ago who once said that Ginch Gonch was the gayest underwear. I personally think that 2(x)ist is way gayer. Like, 2(x)ist the the bartender at XL in Chelsea (’member XL?) who can’t stop talking about how he can relate to the character Samantha on Sex in the City but thinks that in reality he’s just a lot more like Carrie. That’s how gay 2(x)ist is. But my attraction to this new line I recently saw might mean that if 2(x)ist is XL (a gay bar I always hated), then Ginch Gonch is like The Boiler Room (a gay bar I sometimes find fun).

Behold, Pacific Northwest Indian art themed briefs:

Maybe my attraction to these is because I grew up in the pacNOdubs (aka PNW aka Pacific Northwest) but I really would love to be able to sport some pacNOdubs steez when some dude is trying to get my pants off. I mean, who doesn’t want people to equate the awful power of Thunderbird with their croth? And seriously, would anyone other than a total art fag wear something like this? I have difficulty believing these were designed for guys stuck on ‘the res’ as a way to express their heritage through fashion.

That being said, my birthday is in a week and I totally totally want the bear ones below. You can buy them on Ginch Gonch’s online store here. Thx in advance!!!

The Holidays! They are busy! Can you believe it! I hope everyone is having a merry season. I have put on some nice holiday weight since I decided to forgo exercise and replace it with over eating and binge drinking for the majority of the month. Basically I feel like a happy bloated whale! Sexy!

So while I’ve been absent and with holiday parties/a hang over/shopping/crashing White House dinner parties, the Gap had some crazy ads going on?

Did you all see this? It’s some Gap ad. Jezebel writer and blogger at large Lindsay Robertson wrote it up on Jezebel as being very slightly pedophilic, and got kinda attacked over it. (I don’t have TV so I learn about t through the internet). Anyways, I maybe kinda agree with her, only because of the weird train move at the end? Otherwise it’s a harmless ad, but considering the high pressure world of professional blogging, I don’t blame her for using that spin to post it in any ways. Here’s the original:

And I guess some gay guys saw this and thought it would be super fun to parody. I really WANT to like this, because the idea and execution are great, but I also get super uncomfortable watching a bunch of young gay guys infantalize themselves in the name of corporate fashions:

What do you think? Cute holiday commercial parody or kinda weird scary intersections of unhealthy psychology and consumerism?

I suddenly really really want boots for Christmas. Happy Holidays ya’ll!!!

Eliot posts twice in a week! Does this mean he’ll be contributing more regular additions to the blog? Stay tuned… Read the rest of his posts here.

At least in New York, short denim shorts were all the rage last summer.  Hipster homos from Williamsburg to …Williamsburg were showing loads of deliciously pasty thigh, including myself (and much to my chagrin).

Awesome L.A.-based comic James Adomian, however, asks:  what if Brett Favre and the boys threw around the pigskin wearing the same stuff as the ladies in the Nair commercials (oh, and every dude sipping a PBR at Metro between May and September).

Did you know that the URL chokerz4men.com exists? My friend Gabe just pointed it out. I thought it would be this:

But it’s actually this:

If Bang Bang was still a store in Chelsea, they’d  totally stock this shit. There’s even a grouping of styles called “Elegance.” I can think of nothing more elegant than a the adult equivalent of a charm bracelet. It’s perfect for a night out on the town, to say… Buddakan or Arena when you come in on the weekends to Penn Station on the LIRR.

These chokers will also go great with that thong that has a platinum clasp in the back which spells out S-E-X-Y above your butt that you ordered from International Male in 1998. Wish that style wasn’t discontinued. I need it one for Fire Island this summer.

Are fringe shades the new shutter shades? I was really hoping I’d be able to find these for purchase on St. Marks sometime soon but no one has appeared to fill the market void. Has anyone seen these for purchase anywhere?

Because I am just SUCH A DIVA!!!1!!11!! I definately need a pair of these. And when you can’t find something in the stores (stores = on the street for 10 dollars or less on St. Marks). It means it’s time to do it yourself. Caft night!

My buddies at Steeez and I are having a little blogger party, and my goal for the night is to successfully make a pair of these for myself. While everyone else plays board games and drinks, I plan on sitting in the corner frustrating myself with my lack of small motor skills and knowledge of craft. Here’s a basic diagram of how these spectacular spectacles are made (after the jump): Read More!

Blogs were talking about the Grammys yesterday, and now I cannot get M.I.A’s fashions out of my mind. I literally spent a good amount of time checking my Google Reader to see if Go Fug Yourself had updated and finally given their opinion on her flawless maternity wear. Do you think A Pea In A Pod will carry that polka dotted diaper thing what she wore on stage? While I highly doubt that The Smithsonian will ask M.I.A. to memorialize her outfits in the museum like they did Aretha (To which she replied, “It would be hard to part with chapeau”), I have to wonder… is M.I.A. the next Aretha Franklin’s Giant Bedazzled Bow Hat?

So let’s play a game. Who wore it better? I’m personally more partial to M.I.A.’s outfit upon arrival, her peacock blue pan-African potato sack dress,  than I am to the sexy cow-print diaper she wore on stage. So here it goes — who wore it better?

M.I.A:

Or me:

Fashion explosion!

This is really just some sick, sick shit.

If only I could be that flexible, then maybe I could land a “sweet daddy bear.”

Have you all seen this Nintendo Amusement Park (.com) thing? Because I’m thinking it might be real. And I’ve never been more excited. It reminds me of Nick Arcade, if Nick Arcade was real life instead of a weird blue screen based game show from the 90s. It also has a strong resemblance to Takeshi’s Castle (aka Most Extreme Elimination Challenge).

My favorite detail is that you have to put on the Mario mustache. It’s just part of the ride. You can’t hit the power box or jump on the giant air sculpture of the Goomba without it. The mustache is essential. I just take this as a second sign (the first one being the sexy facial hair in Gus Van Sant’s MILK) that mustache’s are making an important comeback this year. Trends always starts with gays and then move on to the sorts of people that want to create and  play simulated video games. That’s a tip for you big PR types next time you’re establishing a new brand.

After the jump, bonus nostalgia featuring the unlikely combo of Nick Arcade and Joey Fatone.  Read More!

You all watch the debates right? I assume all three of my regular readers of of a well informed ilk. What was up with that weird “Joe the plumber” bit? Is this some sort of Internet meme I am unaware of? Is”Joe the plumber” the next “I drink you milkshake” or “no homo”?

I love how Barack looks at the camera in these debates and really “speaks” to me. It makes my heart flutter/gives me a boner.

So this discourse logically raises the question: what are you all being for Halloween? I think this debates has inspired me. Considering how unseasonably warm October has been in New York this year, I think I can finally dress as a slutty (fill in the blank) on the day of our Pagan festival of spirits. I’m thinking I’ll be slutty “joe the plumber.” It will look kind of like this:

Do you think this is what Joe looks like? It’s the number two image on GIS when I look up “sexy plumber.”  I’d let him sure buy my (small) business. But what are you all being for Halloween?

You know who doesn’t know that out economy is going under? Damien Hirst. He recently sold The Golden Calf for £10,345,250. (via Towleroad. What? Towleroad reports on art? I had no idea).This is what it looks like.

When I look at this piece, it basically looks like a vanity piece for some astrology obsessed gay who’s a Sagittarius and loves the musical Jesus Christ Superstar. He’ll place it next to his unicorn tapestries.

I have difficulty understanding how anyone would spend so much money on this. At this point in time, Damien Hirst and other artists, such as Jeff Koons and Takashi Murakami, have become more of an industry label. They have entire studios with throngs of artists making work that they then put their name on. So how can any individual piece they sell at this point be considered an important part of art history or a good investment to someone with millions to spend on a new piece for their collection? Good friend and confidant Paul explained it to me today: Read More!
