The Best End of Year List Yet

It's that time of year when people reflect on the past 12 months and every smarmy face journalist with a beige office writes some tepid greatest hits list of the year. 

But GQ Magazine got it right, sending off the celebs that made 2012 a bit more meh.

Total Ouch on that Madonna rip, although whaever stings the most, I guess. 


Oh, and Goyte is Belgian? Who knew they make dirty, hipster sad sack whiners as well as waffles?

It's a Gift: Let's Go Gay it Up in Colombia!

(Columbia: Next on the Pink Agenda?) 

This gift is pointed right at you, Miss Ciara. You know you love you some South and Central America and it appears that Colombia is on the path towards legalizing gay marriage

Maybe all dem dollas comin' in from us gays who've anointed it a nouveau gay travel hot spot are speakin louder than hate. 

Funny how that works. 

So this May, let's andale, andale down Columbia's way and whoop it up Mac-Ci style! 

Holiday Party in Red Hook

Mr Taurus' co-worker and our friend, Rebecca, invited us over the weekend to her beautiful loft in Red Hook, Brooklyn to celebrate the season.

And the good life, honey.

We Made a Copywriter Tree, Honey

When is a Raven Like a Saks Fifth Avenue Mannequin?

It's A Gift: Sneaky Day Drunk

It's Friday and daddy ready to get his drink on. But - ugh - there's this pesky work day in the way. Perhaps if I only had some rye toast and jam that somehow sneaky snuck schnapps....

Or whiskey!

Thank You, Ciara

Child, the world is about to give thanks and what better reason than the cornucopia of Ciara flooding the airwaves right now, am I right?



 Club banger you can shake and sweat to? Check, honey! (Plus I'ma need this after all that pie I'ma eat tomorrow)






Ballad for slow, writhing dancing? Girl, you know Ciara got that covered!





You know Ciara got the moves, Ciara got them curves... and now we do too. How you like them Goodies?
