Gay of A Certain Age - Looking at a Winwin Year!

 

I got my 2022 Hottie Man Calendar

from Hot House 

a little late this year

(I waited too long to order),

but I am so pleased to see one of my favorites,

Arad Winwin,

on the cover!

How did I live 4 days without him?

I'm also looking forward to 

not seeing any dead porn stars 

featured for the month

(Unless they are properly labeled as "In Memorium")

I'm happy to report

No dead porn stars in the 

Hot House 2021 Calendar!

I was very pleased to see living favorites
Arad Winwin in July
(As well as on the cover)

(2 years in a row!!)

and 

Austin Wolf in December.

You know that 

as A Gay of A Certain Age,

I'm very loyal to my favorites,

but I am also open to new fancies

and proud to announce that my favorite

"New To Me Porn Star" of 2021

was Mr. March,

 Micah Brandt

Seeing this fella every morning as I picked out

what clothes to wear to work

at my dining room table,

sure put an extra spring and my step

and made me super thirsty

for that first cup!

 I just realized that in my Covid slump

I neglected to post about getting my 2021 Calendar.

 Arad was on the cover.

No 2020 review, except;

the guys were hot,

but the year was not so great,

so I'll just let it go...

I'm just going to look forward to 2022

as I turn the page on the first of each month,

anticipating the surprise of what hottie man 

will greet me every morning for 30 or so days.

...with only slight intrepidation

of seeing a dead porn star, thanks to the PTDS

caused by Colt Calendars of the past!

Here's to a fabulous 2022!

Too Busy For Love - Year of the Crown Part 1

You know I've been lamenting how busy I've been, and these last few months have been crazy, but I assure you, it's not just a cute heading for my blog.  I've been so busy, it's taken a year for me to post this tidbit.   About half of my 2018 was dedicated to BEST IN DRAG SHOW, a fundraiser for Alliance For Housing and Healing, as well as for Aid for AIDS.

It started in April, when I auditioned.

Once I found out about the auditions I got to work getting the idea for my show together.  I had to come up with 4 categories; INTRO

SWIMSUIT

TALENT

Evening Gown/Interview

 And they announced their six contestants

David Anthony Flores (Miss Washington), me (Miss Texas), John Green (Miss New York), Andrew Felix Garside (Miss California) and Philip Watrous (Miss Louisiana)- Not pictured Jason De Puy (Miss Colorado)

Once I found out I made it into the show, I had 5 months to get it all together.  I immediately went to Carol at Carol's Bridal.  She's who I usually run to to get my dresses made.  She said, "Sure! Get the fabric and I will make these."  She immediately got started on my Intro dress.

Later, I realized that Carol and I  hadn't discussed fabrics and construction strategies, (really, what fabric does one use to make a Nacho Poncho that stays crisp on the catwalk?) so, I decided I needed some advice.  I remembered that my friend John Coulter usually had fabulous Halloween costumes;

John the Rock-n-roller and me as The Virgin Murray

 I made a call and invited him to breakfast to show him my costume designs for advice & wisdom.  He took a gander and said he would give it some thought.  The next morning he called and said he would make my costumes!  I was all "WHAAAAAAT?"  That was an amazing and miraculous blessing!  I shared my budget and John went to work!  He sent me photos of stuff in the works.

We discussed new ideas and he improved on my original designs and ideas.  I did my part crafting a few details

with a little help from friends

Here's Brett helping me figure stuff out and put it together

like my Intro Blue Bonnet head piece,

 rigging the pecans that would drop right under my my dress on cue and these Dora the Explorer shoes that would be the cherubs in my Lady of Guadalupe evening gown...

Before I knew it, a few months had passed and it was time for the photo shoot for pics used in the show 

to promote the show

and for the BIDS calendar

Miss May with Alam Wernick
(and for a peek at his naughty twitter click here)

Might I say, the Calendar shoot was my favorite part?

Arad Winwin, Trent Ducati, Devin Franco, Remy Cruze, Alam Wernick

With the main photography done, and publicity for the show going out, I had just a month and a half before the show! 

I'm really busy, so I'll show you the show tomorrow!

This Is Why I Am Single - A Win/Winwin Situation

I know I have been here before. I know I have told you I have been here before. …but, it’s such a nice place! Here I am “in Love” with a gay porn star. That’s in quotes because, of course, I know it isn’t actually love; it’s an infatuation with a terribly good looking man, compounded by the fact that the guy is a total sweetheart. His name is Arad Winwin.

 Here’s the thing; I first noticed Arad at a RuPaul’s Dragcon as a standout amongst a throng of underwear models for Andrew Christian.

 He popped out of my photos of the event like Olivia Newton John in XANADU and, in my mind, we turned into cartoon fish and danced a wet dance.

I noticed him on a THE FIGHT MAGAZINE cover and learned his name.

 From there I took the next logical step and stalked found him on Instagram. Later, whilst perusing a gay porn site on Sunday morning while listening to NPR, as one does, I saw his face and clicked on the thumbnail. To my delight, I watched as he danced naked with another guy who looked exactly like me! I may have imagined the “looked exactly like me” part. As time went on, I enjoyed his posts on Instagram and collected his postcards from Andrew Christian Underwear. I would delight in chance sightings at events and hoped to see him at the DragCons, which I did. I’d always ask for a picture with him and he’d happily agree and pose.

 Then, it started becoming apparent that he was recognizing me- or one of me because I’ve accosted him as Frieda Laye, Reba Areba and maybe myself. Once I realized how many times I’ve actually come in contact with him, photographed him and stared at him, again imagining we were cartoon fish playfully chasing each other through the sea of love, I was actually amazed that he was not creeped out by me. I mean, people, this last Drag Con alone, I visited the Andrew Christian underwear booth, multiple times and shot multiple shots-patiently stalking waiting for a good clear frame in hopes that the pic wasn’t blurry because my camera is acting up and sometimes the display doesn’t come up so I can see what it looks like so I shoot many in hopes that one is in focus because he keeps moving and I’m not using a flash to save battery life because there’s so many things to capture at Dragcon…

 And of course, I know he has a job to do modeling underwear, so each time I’d go stalk take pictures, I’d buy some underwear. (I got some really cute stuff! … but also a pair of denim looking briefs- with no butt! I gotta sift through the bins more carefully) (I need a butt in my undies) I bought more underwear than I need, but it was a bargain and Andrew Christian made some buck, so it was a win/win!

Don’t forget, I also worked with him with a lot fewer people around when we shot the Best In Drag Show Calendar last year.

Every single time I had an encounter with Arad, we was the sweetest guy, and gracious. I don’t know if he actually remembered me each time, but he made me feel as if he had. It wasn’t until 10:30 pm, or so, the Sunday night Dragcon closed, I had gone to the new West Hollywood establishment, Rocco’s, with friends after the big 90’s Mixtape Concert at the Hollywood Bowl, when I saw Arad there. He was just hanging out and I didn’t think he had seen me walk by. I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to bother him after photostalking him for two whole days, I wasn’t in drag so he prolly wouldn’t know who I am and HE DOESN’T KNOW WHO THE FUCK I AM. I may have a very active fantasy life, but I’m not delusional. But, then, he turned, saw me and sauntered right over to say “hi” and gave me a nice hug. Then he asked how the rest of my day was and was chatted for a moment before he returned to his hanging out. He did know who I was. He actually stopped what he was doing and came over to me and said “Hi.”

That was the moment I officially “fell in love” with him. It’s not just because he’s a super hottie underwear model/porn guy, but simply for the fact that as someone who’s admired worldwide by lusty & hungry gaymosexuals and prolly approached every minute, everywhere he goes, he took the time to walk over to me and say “hi”, when he could have very easily pretended that he didn’t see me in the crowd. That’s sweet. That’s deserving of my “love”.

This is why I am single; I give my “love” to public hot guys, and some guys cannot handle that.

P.S. Don’t worry, Chris Rockway, I still “love” you, too!

Gay of A Certain Age - Something To Look Forward To This Year

For those of you who were concerned about my monthly drama, you know, the fear of flipping the page of my hot nekked man calendar and seeing a dead porn star, (as experienced many a time with Colt Men calendars, ) I have mostly good news!  I am happy to report that all through 2018 I flipped 12 months and not one dead porn star!!  In that aspect, Raging Stallion did not let me down.  Where I have a quibble with Raging Stallion is that along with the large picture of the hot nekked man, the days of the month are listed at the bottom of the page, vertically, like little strips of paper on a flyer nailed to a utility post on the sidewalk advertising guitar lessons from Ramon.  Call me crazy, but in a calendar, the days should be featured a little bit more.  As you can see here in my favorite month of 2018, March, featuring Bruno Bernal, there along the bottom are the days that in no way help me determine how many Fridays there are in a month with just a glance. especially when my glance is distracted by his seahorse.

Bruno Bernal

Here's where part of this is my own fault, I don't like to preview.  I prefer to flip the page not knowing who's going to be on the page for the month.  It's an exciting little mystery that makes the passage of time a little less like a stab in the heart.  Because I do that, I can't look at the calendar page to see if the days are presented in a grid or in little phone number slips on the bottom.  So, hoping for a grid, I left Raging Stallion and moved to Hot House.  As you can see from the top photo, Austin Wolf is on the cover of the calendar... He's both one of my favorites and alive, so we're off to a good start. 

Unfortunately, as you can see from the January page, it's a Call Ramon For Lessons situation.

Arad Winwin

I'll deal with it.  It helps that Mr. January is another current favorite, Arad Winwin!  While I may not be able to determine what day it is right away, this month will always remind me of the day I got to actually cozy up wth Arad...

Me (Reba Areba), Arad Winwin

Speaking of calendars, the last time I got to touch this nice hottie, we were shooting the 

Best In Drag Show 2019 Pin up Calendar!

I told you about Best In Drag Show, right?

Anyway, I got to hang around these hotties for hours, creating the visions that people would be seeing for months at a time in 2019.

My month partner was Alam Wernik and I think we did our month proud!

If you've neglected to get your 2019 Calendar and the men of Hot House are too racy with their cocks out, but seeing cute man tushy is as naughty as you wanna get, you can get your BIDS 2019 Pin up Calendar HERE

Physical calendars may seem obsolete, what with fancy computers and their Outlook programs and such, but as a Gay of A Certain Age, I know that a friendly face & cock along with a daily confirmation can make the days passing a more pleasant reminder that we're one day closer to death.

Gay of A Certain Age - Spanked To the Bank

Hello, Gentle Reader!  The photo above is me, in a dress, enjoying the company and touch of Boomer Banks.  I'm happy and excited in the pic because I enjoy Boomer's work.  He's what the kids these days call, a "Gay Porn Star".  Do the math; that means I watch the gay porn.  And, since I'm rarely naked with anyone else, I've been prone to "wax nostalgic" while watching said entertainments. It's not a secret, I posted about it in a post called Plowers In the Attic 2; If There Be Porns.  Why is this any of your business?  Well, really, it's not, but I have recently received an email threatening to release actual video of me "waxing nostalgic" whilst watching one of these art films!  Apparently, they have somehow obtained one of my passwords, which they used in the subject line of the threatening email to get my attention, then used the password to hack my laptop and turn on my camera!  They have taken that footage and made a video for blackmail, which they will distribute to everyone in my contact list, unless I pay them $2,000 in bitcoins!  Whatever shall I do???

Not a gosh-darned thing!  Listen people, as a Gay of A Certain Age, I've decided that I have no shame about "waxing nostalgic" and if a video of it gets out, and people don't turn it off as soon as they see what it is, then, ENJOY!!!  You wanna watch me enjoy movies like SPECIFIC RIM or THE JUST ASS LEAGUE or THE HOUSE WITH A COCK IN ITS WALLS or HEAD PULL 2?  Have at!  I refuse to be ashamed of something as natural as self pleasure or to give in to someone trying to intimidate me with shame!  Also, it's very unlikely that the video exists, since I don't watch these movies on my lap top, I find that key strokes don't go with other strokes.  I prefer to use my very portable iPad, which I can just snap shut and fall asleep next to.  I also have the little lens covered with a Hello Kitty sticker, to ensure my privacy.  I'm fairly confident nothing will come of this.  Also, I found this article to be a morale booster! 

So, I will continue to enjoy the specialty films featuring some of my favorite specialty actors to my hard's content.  As a matter of fact, I'll even share some of my very own photos of the guys I call THE WATCH MEN!

(Chris Rockway will probably be my all time favorite for all time)

Marcus Mojo

Samuel O'Tooole

Michael Brandon

Arad Winwin

Adam Champ & Carlo Masi

(This pic is about Adam Killian, who is pelvis thrusting behind Danny Bonaduce- 

yes, THAT Danny Bonaduce)
(The third, licking party is, yet, unidentified)

Well enough of this... I need to go wax nostalgic about the time I was tea bagged by Chris Rockway!

So, if you get an email from me with a video attached and you choose to watch, please let me know if they gave me any groovy music in the background, if they put up a list of credits and if my name is on top or bottom of the title. Thanks!
