Oscars-Schmoskers (Yes I'm a day late, but it's cuz I'm on jury duty!)

No shade to either The Artist, which has a significant number of very attractive men associated with it, nor Meryl Streep, who certainly deserved at least two of her three Oscars, but The Oscars are now officially meaningless (assuming they were of significance to begin with.). Flavorpill breaks down the debacle that was The Oscars of 2012. Continue reading

Happy Valentine's from thisisfyf! (With a lot of help from Aaron Cobbett and Erwin Castro)

We (for some strange reason this entire post uses the "royal" we) first encountered Erwin heating up the changing rooms at our favorite gym location many a year ago now. His focused manner both in and out of the locker room gave us the impression he was anything but the sweet and friendly - somewhat bashful even - guy we later had the pleasure of introducing ourselves to one night after drinking just enough "liquid...

Second watch, this time significantly less inebriated: this was pretty ovah!? ...at least the opening sequence? perhaps the haters are focused solely on Madonna, who was admittedly somewhat less than her usual (at least in years past) nubile self, but the "supporting cast"? GIVING it! and - purely for the sake of arguing that this was a PRI-Madonna production (in a good way) - hasn't that ALWAYS been her shtick?: bringing in the latest "it" kid to do their thang while she soaks up the spotlight (I sound begrudging, but I'm not really?)? i admit, from LMFAO on, her "support" was a bit underwhelming (sorry, MIA and Nicki.), but those kids who have ALWAYS carried for her and were giving LOOKS in the opening sequence were HOT!

Diller Scofidio + Renfro to redesign the Pines Pavilion complex

A piece in the New York Times last night announced that Diller Scofidio + Renfro will design the new Pavilion complex after it was gutted by fire in November. The firm behind the overall architectural design of the High Line and Lincoln Center's redesign - among many more - will design a temporary structure for the 2012 season, with the permanent complex in place for the 2013 season. An interview with firm partner Charles Renfro,... Continue reading

Polar Bear Club plunge: No shrinkage here!

Whoever said it (It's variously attributed to Socrates, Heraclitus, Solon of Athens, Pythagoras, as well as several others.), you sir, clearly DO "Know thyself"...or at least know your ability to fill out a tight pair of speedos despite bone-chilling (ha!) conditions. For that, I salute you! Continue reading

2012 will be a year like no other: Beatcoxing? ...Or cockboxing?

Resist the urge to click away during the hard-to-watch intro full of brah-worthy bravado and facial contortions and you'll be rewarded with a display of true ingenuity I encourage more of us to foster in ourselves and others. My hope for 2012? He - or others like him - will take his show on the road. Happy 2012, everybody! (Reliably, haters have left disparaging comments about this guy's dick size, only this time, they're claiming... Continue reading

Sadly...after doing the conversion into inches...UNDERWHELMED!! I realize this is "average" length, but 6 in.?? Perhaps my expectations are a tad unrealistic. Stupid porn.

There's stuff happening this weekend. Some you might find fun.

Get IN! as I briefly throw events at you that I will - in all likelihood - not be attending because...well...I'm a total misanthrope these days. I hope you can forgive me. 1) For anyone who hates the idea (because I've never been and thus have no basis for my hatred) of Toys for Tots as much as I do, or else for those who don't necessarily hate it, but who aren't friends with whomever...

Updates for Horny Homosexuals (NSFW)

I am not really feeling this. I'm not sure why? The pelt is quite nice. ...Insert cunt-y remarks referring to Manliest-man title, what's attractive to Britons and more general bitterness. Finish feeling fairly empty, but surprisingly turned-on for having already asserted I'm not really feeling it. -x-x-x-x-x-x- Also, Rod thoughtfully sent me Fleshbot's complete run-down (NSFW!) on Fadi Fawaz (George Michael's new...er...paramour, and my summer-before-last's obsession.) after I had filled his ear with stories of...

Like with the Kardashians, good ol' American ingenuity has proved we can commercialize the SHIT out of ANYthing! What else is there to life than making and spending money!?

Hayden Panettiere participates in attempt to disprove "Irish Curse". Results inconclusive. NSFW

The video evidence is (hopefully still) here. Seriously, though...who writes this shite? More importantly, why?! Is this Irish humor (if you can call it that)? European? Help me out European readers. Was this funny in any way? Did I miss something? Also, did she say, "...the nominees for Best Dong" there at the end? More of "Irish stage actor" David Monahan after the jump. All of him, actually.

(NSFW) I need to stop fooling myself and seek a(nother) human('s) touch.

My typical excuse for not getting much action is it's too inefficient. The odds against finding someone attractive to, and attracted by you mean you have to cast a wide net,... and an even wider one to compensate for the "shady" element inherent in being gay in New York where there's a literal surfeit of gay, along with the more generally true "it's tough to coordinate crossing the horny-enough-to-go-through-with-it threshold with other living, free-willed creatures"...

May your Halloween bring lots of tricks that turn out to be treats!

It's Gay Christmas next Monday and, as Christians are wont to do with "the real" Christmas, we (gays) are viewing the fact it's on Monday as a chance to celebrate (if we choose to join this year, which I wasn't!!...and now am?! ...But that's another story.) ALL WEEKEND. What to do, you ask? Happy to help! Here's some options: Go to a concert! For CMJ having been last week, this weekend's line-up of bands is... Continue reading

Word of the Day: Dilettante

In keeping with our general advocacy of saying what you mean and meaning what you say here at FYF, and as there's a proven direct correlation between the size of your vocabulary and both your ability to more precisely convey your message AND the potential to leave your listeners in the dust (particularly in this day and age?) should they not possess the same size vocabulary, we proudly present a series of "Word[s] of the...
