Laurell K Hamilton Reviews – Bullet

Filed under: Non Wedding — Tags: books, bullet by laurell k hamilton, laurell K hamilton — rollerbladerdc @ 1:37 am

So I have to admit it finally, I am hooked on vampire novels. Not the Anne Rice ones or the Twilight ones but the cool ones with the sexy vampires and intricate story lines like the Laurell K Hamilton Book series.

A few years ago for my birthday a couple of my friends bought me the first four books in the Laurell K Hamilton Anita Blake Vampire series. Although I did not get into them at first, I continued to read and by the 5th or 6th book I was completely hooked on them. I didn’t mesh or like any of the characters or the way that Laurell K Hamilton wrote back then but as she matured as a writer and her books matured with her. Unfortunately she got stuck in a part of her series where everything was about sex. The books sucked during that part but ones you get passed it and fight your way through into having to read it, Skin Trade completely makes up for the crap books in the middle of the series. The newest Anita Blake Vampire hunter book in the series though is called Bullet.

Bullet by Laurell K Hamilton is a fabulous and amazing book. Sure there are a couple of huge orgy scenes in Bullet but Bullet by Laurell K Hamilton interrupts the annoying and overplayed sex scenes with pure action and violence. She also somehow makes the sex scenes kind of erotic in these books and also adds the action into them so instead of being her same old boring sex stories (The first couple times they were good but they got old fast) she makes it all brand new.

Bullet by Laurell K Hamilton is probably going to be one of my favorite books in the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series because it is not only extremely well written and there aren’t as many editing mistakes, but Laurell K Hamilton does an absolutely amazing and flawless job at bringing old characters back, setting up a flawless battle and really gets you excited to see what is going to happen not only in this book, but gets you excited for the next books in the series. She has not only reenergized my love for the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series but my love for her and her writing as well.

Whether it is the hot men in bathrobes or the drive and fire in the main character Anita Blake, Bullet by Laurell K Hamilton is above and beyond an amazing read so far. I actually read my way to page 240 today and only put it down because dinner came. The book is great and not only ties everything together but helps you to remember everyone from her past like the decaying vampires, both Jake’s, the Harelquin, Father of Light, Mother of Darkness, The Traveller, The Dragon, Belle Morte and even when she first met one of her first loves, Richard the local Ulfric in Jean Claude’s office bedroom before he was the Master Vampire of St. Louis. Bullet by Laurell K Hamilton is an amazing book and I cannot wait to finish reading it tonight. I wish she would write these more often but if they are going to come out like Bullet or she writes more on the Meredith Gentry series than her books will be more than worth waiting for. Bullet by Laurell K Hamilton is an amazing book if you read the series and even if you don’t you may be able to keep up. I highly recommend the Laurell K Hamilton Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series to anyone looking for a new vanpire book series to read. The first few suck but then they get good. Then they are all about sex again but the last few are actually pretty great books. Bullet is an awesome book so far and I cannot wait to finish so I’m off of here for the night and if you read it or love Laurell K Hamilton as well, please feel free to leave a comment below.

Gay Roommate Service – What to ask a gay roommate

Filed under: Non Wedding — Tags: find a gay roommate, free gay roommate service, gay roomate, gay roommate, gay roommate service — rollerbladerdc @ 1:19 am

So it seems like that with gay being trendy still and college about to start, everyone wants a gay roommate. The thing is that you may not know what you are getting into when you move in with a gay roommate or a gay person moves in with you. Although conversations and normal life will continue like it always has, there are some things to think about and things you may want to ask if you are planning on having a gay roommate or if you are gay and thinking about having a straight roommate.

I have lived with both gay and straight people and loved certain things about each. The thing that I always had to remember and what I always recommend to other people who want to find a gay roommate is to really consider what it will mean and the different situations you may find yourselves in. Now I do not mean the gay person will hit on the straight person, in my case it has always been the other way around where the straight guy or girl has hit on me, but things to really consider before you decide to find a gay roommate and move in with a gay person. These questions go both ways, unlike the gays and straights…you bi people will get it….sorry I had to make the joke at some point, so please don’t think that just because I am focusing the main topic on straight people finding a gay roommate or wanting to move in with a gay person that the gay roommate shouldn’t also be thinking about these questions and asking them to the straight person as well.

1. Dating and social situations.

You have to remember that this is going to be your home. Are you ok with watching a straight couple cuddle and watch a movie and is the straight roommate ok with watching two people of the same sex cuddle and watch a movie. What happens if the gay couple is cuddling and watching a movie and the straight person comes home from the bars with friends, what happens if the friends aren’t ok with gays? This does happen and can easily create a serious issue. Nothing is worse then violence and so it is important for both roommates to really consider what would happen if the one roommate walked in on the other and what would happen if the person or the people they bring home like friends or tricks turn into biggots and get violent. One thing that I always recommend to the straight person is that they say they have a gay roommate while out at the bar and one the way home and based on the reaction of the person or their friends reactions either continue to your apartment or head to their if there may be an issue.

2. TV and Music.

This sounds dumb but stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason, they are somewhat based on truth. Gay people tend to like dance music and dancy music. We like it when we are getting ready for the clubs and when we are relaxing. A lot of gay people also like showtunes and love to sing them. Some gay people really like folk music and many gay men love to watch Bravo and other trash tv shows and stations. Your typical straight male and most females may like this in short bits but definitely not as much as the gays. Are you really willing to give up tv or compromise and are you willing to give up a football game for a season finale of the Real Housewives just like are the gays willing to give up the Madonna episode of Glee for a boxing match. These are actual differences that you should think about before you move in or at least talk about them when you are interviewing each other.

3. Art work and decorating.

Although design and decorating can be a compromise, sometimes gay people really enjoy gay art and erotic art just like straight men may like a woman in a bikini. Gay men may want to hang a picture of a naked man posing in a black and white photo in the bathroom and straight men may want to hang a wooden pub sign in the living room. Those are easy to compromise on, well maybe not the naked people but one thing that can cause an issue are certain times like Pride. Gay people like to hang pride flags during pride and decorate for it, straight people may not feel comfortable with it. Talk about how you would like to decorate the apartment or house before you move in together and see what the roommate would want or what they have and want to hang up on the walls and in public areas. If you get that out of the way you’ll also get a better taste for what they are into and what they like and don’t like. It’ll also help you to find out if you are a good personality match or not.

There are a million things to think about when living with a gay or straight person. Safety is the first and most important thing. Let them know that you will be bringing people home and you will not go to your room if you want to cuddle or kiss your partner or date just like they shouldn’t have to go to their room either. Make sure that you know that you can trust the straight roommate with your safety just like he or she can trust you with theirs. You never know how gay or straight people will react with each other, especially if either has been drinking, so it is important to make sure they are 100% ok with each other as it is both of your homes and neither of you should ever feel uncomfortable in your home. If you want to make out with someone go for it but you shouldn’t have to hide in your room.

If you still want to find a gay roommate click this link and you will find the gay roommate service that I used when I wanted to find a gay roommate when I was moving. I highly recommend them and it is a free gay roommate service as well so I highly recommend giving it a try.

Sarah Palin Going Rouge Video Spoof

Filed under: Non Wedding — Tags: funny videos, going rouge, parodies, Politics, sarah palin video — rollerbladerdc @ 10:21 pm

Whether you like or dislike Sarah Palin we have all had a good laugh at some of the Sarah Palin spoofs out there. The thing is that I haven’t found a Sarah Palin spoof video that I liked enough to want to share it with you all until yesterday when I was at EFN Lounge for Showtunes Night and they played this Sarah Palin spoof video of the Madonna video and song Vouge. The Sarah Palin Going Rouge video is not only hilarious but it is amazingly well done.

Not only does the actress who plays Sarah Palin look and sound like her but she also nails her mannerisms and hits just about every majo Sarah Palin issue that we have all fallen in love with over the last couple years since she slowly started to make her way onto the political stage. The Sarah Palin Going Rouge video is not only my favorite Sarah Palin spoof but how can you not love it when it is to Madonn’s Vouge. Sue Sylvester on Glee did an amazing cover of the song and video for Vouge but I think that the Sarah Palin going rouge video almost beats it, then again I don’t think anyone is going to have the budget or talent to really top the way that Glee did the video for Vouge during the Madonna episode.

I love the Sarah Palin Going Rouge video and if you liked it please feel free to leave a comment below and to tweet it to all your friends on twitter by clicking the green tweet or retweet button at the top of this post. Thank you again for visiting Gay Wedding Gear and come back often for more funny videos as well as party planning advice, wedding advice and party favor or wedding gift recommendations.

The Homosexual Menace Public Service Announcement

Filed under: Non Wedding — Tags: activism, anti gay videos, gay videos funny, parodies, the homosexual menace, videos — rollerbladerdc @ 9:29 pm

Everyone once in a while I find a parody or fake public service announcement which can borderline on offensive or hilarious and unfortunately this is on that does both. At first you cannot completely tell that the person who created The Homosexual Menace Public Service Announcement is joking and even part way through The Homosexual Menace video you still question if they are being serious or not. When you actually watch through the entire video you do eventually realize that the person who created The Homosexual Menace video is really just making a parody and spoof but at the same time they make it look and sound like a real public service announcement so people constantly go back and forth and unfortunately they don’t always realize that the homosexual menace video is actually a joke and meant to make fun of the anti gay activists.

I personally thought that the homosexual menace video and cartoon was hilarious but then again I love the offbeat type of humor that they use in the video. Sure there are parts that are offensive but overall the homosexual menace video is actually very well done and very funny. I also love how they throw Lady Gaga into the video as a way that you can tell if someone is gay. The homosexual menace got a ton of negative reviews on Youtube because people just don’t realize that the person who created it is joking so instead of just putting a link to the youtube.com video of the homosexual menace I figured I would leave it in the post so you can watch it here and then leave a comment about what you think of the homosexual menace parody cartoon video on youtube.com.

Let me know what you think of the homosexual menace video and if you think it is as funny as I do then click the green tweet or retweet button up top and you’ll be able to share the homosexual menace video in this blog post with all of your friends on twitter. Please also feel free to share this post with your friends on facebook.

Yo Baby Skateboard As Seen On TV Infomercial

Filed under: As Seen On TV, Idea to keep them busy, Kids, Non Wedding, Uncategorized — Tags: As Seen On TV, idea for kids at a wedding, my yo baby, my yo baby as seen on tv, yo baby skateboard, yo baby skateboard as seen on tv — rollerbladerdc @ 12:46 am

So normally people don’t think about how to keep the kids away from tables and occupied while the grownups want to enjoy dinner at a wedding. Things like ordering or renting a large screen TV and a Nintendo Wii machine work, but also cause fights when kids don’t want to share. You also end up with the adults leaving to go play as well. That’s why when I was watching tv today and saw the infomercial for a new As Seen On TV product called My Yo Baby Skateboard Lessons, I instantly thought ideal solution for keeping the kids occupied and out of your hair at a wedding.

Not only is the Yo Baby As Seen On TV skateboard lessons kit perfect for kids because it not only keeps kids entertained but also teaches them to skateboard a lot safer than on a real skateboard and since the Yo Baby Skateboard is inexpensive you can let them all take them home to continue to practice learning how to skateboard. My Yo Baby Skateboards come in a ton of colors like pink, black, yellow, green and blue and they are also small enough that you can easily transport them with you to the wedding reception and place them all in front of the TV where you’ll have the Yo Baby Skateboard Lessons DVD waiting in the player. Not only will they be focused on learning how to do skateboarding tricks like a Yollie or a 360, but the My Yo Baby As Seen On TV Skateboard lessons and kit will also teach them to do a kickflip and walk the board, all without the dangers of having to be on a real skateboard with wheels.

When I was a little kid I had always wanted to learn how to skateboard but since my dad was a doctor and saw a ton of skateboarding accidents he would never let us have them or ride on them. I remember one time I was sitting on my friends skateboard and we took turns riding it down the street like a toboggan and he almost died. The look on his face was completely worth the yelling that followed about how dangerous skateboards are and when thinking about it today, I was going down a road with cars and wasn’t wearing any pads. Anyways, regardless of how dangerous skateboards are, virtually all sports have their issues and dangers and as long as you practice, learn and wear protection like a helmet they can also be great forms of exercise, teach you balance and motor skills as well as keep your entertained for hours each day. I also think that if we would have had a product like the My Yo Baby Skateboard and if the infomercial for the My Yo Baby As Seen On TV skateboarding kit would have been around, my Dad may have had a second thought about allowing us to ride a skateboard and allow us to learn how since the My Yo Baby Skateboarding kit not only teaches you on a fake skateboard without wheels and on the safety of your carpeted floor vs. hard cement or asphalt out side.

I personally love the thought of buying a few My Yo Baby skateboarding kits for the kids at a wedding so that while the parents and the grownups want to enjoy dinner and listen to the speeches, they can be off in a side room learning how to ride a skateboard and learning how to do skateboarding tricks and keeping themselves occupied in a way that won’t cause a fight and something that is affordable enough that they can all take their own My Yo Baby Skateboards home with them. You can Buy My Yo Baby Skateboard by clicking any of the links in the Amazon banner at the top. Buy Yo Baby Skateboarding kits As Seen On TV and help keep your wedding about you, instead of about the kids who are attending and wanting to yell and scream.

UniversalGear.com – Hottest Shorts for Summer

Filed under: Mens, Non Wedding, clothing and Lingerie — Tags: Beachwear, mens designer shorts, mens shorts, shorts, universal, universal gear, UniversalGear.com — rollerbladerdc @ 10:45 pm

So I wrote a post about the hottest underwear for the summer and for beach season this summer but what I forgot to do was share some of the hottest and most in style shorts for Summer. Not only is plaid back in, but solid colors, stripes and fashion is back in full force. No more boring kahki cargos this year, people forgot about how much they love color and design and so I went back to one of my very favorite shops and online stores if you don’t like in DC or Chicago and decided to share with you all some of the hottest shorts for summer and what is in style from UniversalGear.com.

Not only does UniversalGear.com feature some of the most fabulous mens clothing, but they are always on the top of their game when it comes to men’s fashions and they always share the best and most trendy clothing for every seasons. This Summer season is no different. Universal Gear has everything for everyone from the Beach to Picnics to Pride Parades and everything in between. Here are some of my very favorite summer shorts for fashionable men this summer from Universal Gear and all of them are currently available on UniversalGear.com.

Ben Sherman Flat Front Kahki Shorts

Although I am moving on from plain kahki shorts for the summer, well mainly just the boring kahki cargo shorts, I do have to say that I am absolutely in love with these Ben Sherman flat front Kahki shorts for men. Not only did Ben Sherman take their flat front kahki shorts and make them fabulous by actually designing them, but they have also incorporated 5 pockets, a sleek design that shows off everything you would want to and a gorgoues triangluer design above the left leg. I also love the button on the waist if you look closely at the image. These Ben Sherman Flat Front Kahki Shorts are the only kahki shorts you should think about wearing this summer.

Ben Sherman Plaid Shorts

These next shorts are also mens shorts from Ben Sherman. Plaid and colors are back this summer and Ben Sherman has found a way to make a plaid short perfect for all types of summer wear.

These orange and brown plaid shorts from Ben Sherman are perfect for the pool, the beach, volleyball and sports, great for walks or even just hanging out with a glass of chardonnay.

They match almost all skin tones and colors and are perfectly designed for casual fashion with a trendy flair. I love the zipper up fly and the clasp closure on these ben sherman plaid shorts and you can find them for sale at UniversalGear.com. Just click the image to go to the shorts section at Universal Gear.

Ben Sherman Seaview Blue Shorts

This last pair of Ben Sherman shorts for men are the Ben Sherman Seaview Blue Shorts for men. Just like the kahki pants above they are a flat front and have 5 pockets. Although they aren’t a color or type of short I would personally wear, they are extremely popular and I know a ton of people are going to be wearing these this summer.

They go perfectly with plaid shirts, designed shirts, graphic tees and so many other popular summer styles this year. If you need a versatile type of shorts to wear with your summer outfits and haven’t found that perfect pair of shorts yet, try these ones out and you will not regret it. They go great with tan, brown, kahki, pink, some blues, light greens, stripes and a ton of other colors and styles. Even though I wouldn’t wear them I do highly recommend them. I am all about the plaid shorts this summer which is why I am not going with the normal ones like everyone else who is going plaid shirts and solid shorts.

G Star Black Hopkins Sweat Shorts

These Black G Star Hopkins Sweat Shorts are perfect for walking to the beach in. Not only do they scream sexy jock but they also work great to slip on and off for your bathing suit and because they are sweat shorts you can wear them to the pool, to workout in, as a cover up and pretty much anything else as an in between wear.

I love these g star black hopkins sweat shorts and know that you will to when you buy them and try them on. They are perfect beach and poolside or workout wear for this summer.

Mens Deisel Shorts

Not only do I absolutely love Diesel clothing for men, but I love their summer shorts line. Although these aren’t my favorite diesel shorts available, I do love that they are coming out and breaking out of their normal style and going for portait shorts, more vintage and modern art styled clothing and breaking out of their normal fabric choices.

These Mens Diesel shorts are definitely fashionable and can work great with the right outfit. Personally I think they are made to be worn while you are going around without a shirt on but they can easily be made to match a ton of styles of shirts. Although these shorts are not made to be a bathing suit, to me they also look like a bathing suit so if you are going to a pool party and aren’t sure if you want to go swimming or if you should wear a swimsuit or not, these mens deisel shorts are the perfect choice since they look versatile enough to be designer shorts or a bathing suit.

G Star Frisco White Mens Loose Shorts

Ok I love these shorts and am definitely going to be buying them for myself for this summer. Not only is G Star one of the hottest designers right now, but these G Star White Mens Loose Fit Frisco shorts scream summer and scream t dance or evening cocktails. They are perfect for shopping or cocktailing and even more perfect for cruise ships, parties and day wear.

I am completely in love with these white mens Frisco Loose Shorts from G Star and know that if you love white clothing or linen styled shorts but with design and fashion then you will absolutely love these G Star White Frisco Mens Shorts as well. These are a must have for this summer.

G Star Mens Plaid Shorts

Ok, I am completely opposed to all cargo shorts for summer this year since that is all people were loving for regular wear these last couple years but when you take a designer like G star and let them put their own design and spin on the cargo shorts you get an amazing blend of traditional pants and shorts and something even more fabulous and fashionable.

Look at the angles, the pockets, the buttons and everything else. I love the colors, the belt the design and how these cargo shorts fall along your body. These are the only type of cargo shorts that should be work this summer as they take the traditional style of a cargo short but actually take it and make it fashionable.

Jet Lag Angelo Shorts

I love these white Jet Lag Angelo Shorts. They are made to help you look slimmer and longer and I love the worn out dyed fabric. Not only does it take a vintage worn look and make it look more modern, but the design and stitching are fabulous and perfect for an all occasion shorts form t dances to parks and even picnics and pride festivals.

Because they aren’t a pure white either but multiple shades and stitches they can be combined with a million styles of shirts and are perfect for all types of wear at all time of the day. I love these Jet Lag Shorts for Men and if you need a daily wear pair of shorts or a versatile and go to pair of shorts, these Jet Lag White Angelo shorts are the perfect pair of shorts for you this Summer.

Penguin Plaid Shorts for Men

What post would be complete without my very favorite shorts designer for this summer. Penguin Brand Shorts for Men.

Not only are they my favorite shorts because they are seriously comfortable, but I love the plaid shorts and cut of them. Penguin Plaid shorts for men are perfect for all types of events whether they are social or just hanging out with friends, shopping or running errands and even just going to movies or happy hour.

They are classic looking and fashionable and work perfect with vintage styled graphic t shirts or solid shirts and other more solid colored and styled shirts.

If you haven’t tried on or seen any pairs of mens penguin brand plaid shorts yet then you have to order your first pair from Universal Gear by clicking on any of the links in this post or by clicking on any of the images.

I am completely excited it is summer time and even more excited about all of the shorts that are now available.

UniversalGear.com Top Underwear Styles for Summer

Filed under: Beach, Mens, Non Wedding, clothing and Lingerie, gay travel — Tags: Designer Underwear, Mens Underwear, UniversalGear.com — rollerbladerdc @ 9:05 pm

I cannot believe beach season is here and Rehobeth, Fire Island, Provincetown, etc… all start in less than two weeks. Kick off season is here and many people haven’t done their shopping or figured out why to buy and try for bathing suits and underwear for this Summer and Beach Season. I decided to try and make it easier on everyone and visited one of the most popular mens fashion boutiques and clothing stores called UniversalGear.com.

Not only does UniversalGear.com feature some of the most sought after styles of Men’s Underwear and the top designers, but they also have some of the most trendy looking and fabulous styles of Men’s Underwear and Bathing Suits. They are an iconic store in cities like Washington DC and Chicago and are always on the top of the line when it comes to fashion and trends so you are sure to find the ideal bathing suits and underwear for Summer and all seasons when you shop for underwear at UniversalGear.com.

The other thing I really like about UniversalGear.com is that they also almost always have designer mens underwear on sale including your favorite brands and labels like Papi, Ed Hardy, Calvin Klein, 2xist, Andrew Christian, Clever and many more underwear designers. They carry everything from jocks to thongs to briefs to boxers and even some random styles and designs that are somewhere in between. If you need underwear or bathing suits to wear to the beach and want to find the most popular styles and trends for mens underwear, you have to visit UniversalGear.com.

Here are my top picks for the most Popular Men’s Underwear for the beach and summer.

2xist mens white briefs

These hot mens white briefs from 2xist underwear are not only hot for summer, but their simply and fashionable design show off your hot figure and scream fashion and definitely show you off as a hip and trendy person. They are sleek and stylish and have just enough color to work it and show off that you have taste and style without going overboard. I love these blue and white mens 2xist briefs from UniversalGear.com and think that they are a definite must have for beach season this year. They are perfect to go with low cut shorts, white linen pants and add that perfect spot of color for white parties and look even better at foam parties. These white and blue mens 2xist briefs are a must have for the person who wants to be stylish and fashionable but not be overbearing or in your face.

2xist pink and yellow briefs

If you like to stand out more and want a pair of underwear that sort of also works as a bathing suit for those last minute pool parties, cookouts and tea dances, these sleek and slim cut 2xist mens briefs are the perfect ones to show that you are the life of the party.

Not only are they bright and colorful but they are also in your face fashionable if you like the loud look at me look. The cut and design are absolutely modern and you cannot go wrong with the different color combinations that are available on the UniversalGear.com website.

Although these 2xist mens briefs are not really my styles I know a million men that would love them and know that they will definitely help you to stand out and be the life of the party this Summer during beach season.

Andrew Christian Almost Naked Mens Fusion Brief

If there is one mens underwear designer that has not only taken over what mens underwear fashion is and means but also taken it to the next level it would have to be Andrew Christian.

Not only has he brought us male enhancement underwear styles and new fabric combinations, but Andrew Christian has also brought us new styles, new shapes, new ways to look and feel sexy in our underwear and also made it possible to be fashionable in nothing but a jock or brief. He took fashion and design and applied it to make underwear worth wearing and showing off and these Andrew Christian Almost Naked Mens Fusion Briefs are nothing short of fabulous.

To me they scream lifeguard and fun. I love the design of the blue and white with accents and piping and even more I love how it keeps your eyes focusing on your front and back and your eyes off of your thighs to keep away from areas we don’t normally want to show off. These underwear are great for parties, swimming and laying out to tan. I love the Andrew Christian Almost Naked Mens Fusion Brief and know that you will to.

Andrew Christian Physical Education Jock Strap

Talk about one of the classic Andrew Christian designs and styles. The Andrew Christian Designer Mens Physical Education Jock Strap is hot fun and flirty for Summer.

Not only is it a classic styled jock strap that doesn’t go out of style but you are sure to turn heads when you are wearing this fun and flirty Andrew Christian Jock Strap. I personally love this style and think it is classic enough that it won’t outdate itself and you can wear it for multiple beach seasons.

Mens Baskit Yellow and White Brief

Baskit is one of the lesser known mens designer underwear brands. Not only do they find a way to take classic styles and add in new shapes and colors, but they know how to design a breif or boxer brief that shows off all of your best features and make you feel and look sexy in your designer mens baskit underwear. These yellow and white mens briefs are perfect for laying out in the sun and also for flirting and running around the beach house or even for gogo dancing at a party on an Atlantis Cruise. I love the simple and fashionable mens underwear designs from Baskit and if you haven’t ever tried their underwear or heard of them you should seriously consider giving them a shot this Summer.

Celever Retro Underwear for Men

If you’re into retro styled underwear then you have to check out the designs from Clever. Not only do they scream retro and classic style but they are also fashionable and affordable. These ones to the left scream 1970’s to me and this summer we could definitely expect to see some retro styles and fashions coming back big time so these retro mens underwear from Clever are a must have for Beach season this summer.

Brazilian Flag Underwear

Brazil is the new hot topic and color scheme this year. We can’t all go to Brazil or Copa Cabana Beach but what we can do is steal their colors and designs similar to their flag and bring a bit of Brazil back to our own beaches and beach season.

These Brazilian inspired underwear from UniversalGear.com are perfect for beach wear and summer wear this beach season. Not only are they a classic cut mens brief but they are seriously in fashion right now. I personally love the color choices and they would look great with cargo shorts, green kakhis and so many other styles of summer shorts and pants. The colors look great and the design perfect for low cut jeans and shorts and you will definitely get some looks with these Brazilian flag styled mens briefs from UniversalGear.com.

Ginch and Gonch Sizzle Sticks Boxer Briefs

Ginch and Gonch are one of those not so well known brands of mens designer underwear. They have a very similar look and feel to Ed Hardy but at the same time are a lot more tame and a lot less flashy than the Ed Hardy Brand Boxer Briefs.

These Ginch and Gonch Mens Boxer Briefs are a fun and sort of 1950’s 1960’s design that are not only great for everyone but also just seriously fun to wear. I love their designs and even though they really aren’t a good fit for me I definitely think they are perfect for just about everyone else.

Hugo Boss Boxer Briefs

The Hugo Boss Boxer Briefs are a timeless classic for men.

They are simple enough to not stand out and bring to much attention to you but they are also designer and well known enough to keep you trendy and fashionable.

Hugo Boss Boxer briefs are for the more reserved and quieter person who likes to go to the parties and tea dances and still have a good time but not want to stand out to much or be to flashy.

Hugo Boss Boxer Briefs are the perfect mens designer boxer brief for the more conservative and laid back type of beach person.

Black Papi Boxer Briefs

Ok, these black papi boxer briefs are 100% not my style, however they do come in a million colors and looks and also in high cut and low cut boxer briefs.

Papi is one of those mens designer underwears that we all see but it really takes a unique kind of person who want the attention and can pull them off. You need to have a strong personality and like to stand out to make Papi Boxer Briefs work for you.

They have a ton of designs available at UniversalGear.com so I highly recommend that if you like Papi Mens Underwear you check them out by clicking any of the links in this post or the image to the left.

Red Mens Designer Brief from Baskit

This last pair of mens briefs from Baskit are an absolute must for everyone. Not only do they come in a ton of colors but they are cut to show off your most important features and will match just about every outfit you have.

The baskit mens briefs are fashionable, flirty and fun and a definite must have for beach season this summer.

Piss and Vinegar Boxer Brief

Piss and Vinegar is one of the funniest and most unknown names in designer mens underwear. They are kind of gross to say but also seriously funny to say. They use classic lines, colors and styles in their mens underwear designs and they come in a ton of classic looks and styles. Although I personally don’t like the name Piss and Vinegar for an underwear line, I do love their designs.

UniversalGear.com not only has a ton of other styles and selections of mens designer underwear from companies like Calvin Klein, D&G and Todd and Terry but they also have a million other styles and matching shirts to the underwear.

So I have been kind of depressed lately. I think it happens each year when Spring comes around. Everyone’s getting ready for trips and vacations and everyone’s back outdoors.

Now it’s not like I don’t have plenty of friends to hang out with and I have trips planned with all of them, but it seems like when spring and summer come around people start going out with their roommates more and doing roommate bonding more. I guess when you’re stuck with them all Winter you kind of get on each other’s nerves, but when spring comes around and the days are longer and you’re away from each other it becomes more fun to hang out again.

I don’t really like the roommate thing so I prefer to not have one, (I have a neighbor who stays here enough to drive me crazy anyways) but the one thing I do miss about having a roommate is the companionship when you want company.

Normally I would be able to ask my roommate to come out to the bar, we could watch tv together, etc… It was kind of nice to have someone to hang out with when all your friends are already busy and all of them already have plans with their roommates or just don’t feel like going out. That is the one thing I miss most about having a full time roommate, especially a gay roommate.

Not only did we keep each other in line for beach season with our diets, but we could go out to the same bars, share the same jokes and we ended up liking the same things. I used to have 4 straight roommates in one house and it was kind of hectic. They all shared the same interests and we all hung out, but pretty much none of them would ever do what I wanted to do so we always ended up doing their thing when we would hang out. Having a gay roommate was perfect.

Our apartment was clean, our music was fabulous, we always had vodka and margaritas ready to go on the fly. Gay Roommates are the best in my opinion, although every once in a while we would go completely diva on each other, it was actually pretty funny in the long run and the fights were pretty fabulous and the make up cocktails were even better lol. If I was ever going to have a roommate again, I would completely only ever room with a gay roommate again.

The problem is how do you find a gay roommate and are there any actual or actually good gay roommate services out there?

Yes. The gay roommate service I used to find a gay roommate was PrideRoomates.com. Not only did prideroommates.com help me find a gay roommate, but I received emails and contacts from gay men and women almost instantly after signing up for their free gay roommate service. It was a perfect solution for me when I needed to find a gay roommate.

I was not only able to set up appointments to meet with potential gay roommates, but it wasn’t a hookup site at all and within a couple weeks I had found the perfect roommate. PrideRoomates.com was the perfect solution for me and the best part about it is that it was completely free for me to use. I loved their gay roommate service and if I ever need to find a gay roommate again I will definitely use their service and website again. I actually recommend them to my friends all the time so I figured why not share them and their services with you all as well. I loved using PrideRoomates.com and highly recommend them for a gay roommate service and hope that if you try them to find a gay roommate or a gay friendly apartment to rent you’ll come back and share how it turned out for you as well.

Cosmos for a Cure – Breast Cancer Cosmo Findraiser

Filed under: Non Wedding — Tags: charity, Fundraising, washington dc — rollerbladerdc @ 12:42 pm

One thing that many people have noticed in the last few years is a huge separation between gay men and women and lesbians. It seems like everyone is distancing themselves, bars are going men only or women only, etc… It is sort of sad that there is a separation but at the same time it is nice to be in a gay bar and not have straight girls say, why do you have to be gay, can we make out, it’s so nice to not be hit on, and be treated like a human, not an anomaly. The other thing that is changing is that not all gay charities are about AIDS anymore. Although there is a huge battle to be fought with HIV AIDS and that is the first and foremost cause I fight for, then Animal Shelters and Abuse and then Breast Cancer.

A couple years ago I walked in the Susan G Komen 60 mile 3 day breast cancer walk and breast cancer research took on a whole new meaning. Anyways, with that said, I got an invite from a gay male friend who decided that instead of doing an AIDS fundraiser, he was putting on a fundraiser for Breast Cancer research. Because I thought it was awesome that he crossed a line and decided to do something great for women and not just lesbian women, as well as men since breast cancer can attack men to, I wanted to post the event here and invite anyone in DC to attend his Cosmos for a Cure Breast Cancer Research Fundraising event.

Not only do I love the name Cosmos for a Cure but how could you not love having a social event about Boobies, Babes and Pink Drinks for Breast Cancer. If you’re in Washington DC this Thursday and want to have a Pink Cosmo and help raise some money to fight Breat Cancer, show up to the event. This is sure to be a fabulous time.
This Thursday (April 22, 2010) from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m., Lima Restaurant and Lounge is hosting a happy hour to support breast cancer research. As part of the course requirements for my leadership class (last semester!!!), I am organizing the event, “Cosmos for the Cure,” and encourage each of you to stop in, drink pink and raise a glass in support those who are battling breast cancer. Proceeds from the event will go to the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Research.

The obligation is minimal. A $10 donation is requested (not required) and also we’ve arranged for a special pink cosmo that will benefit this important cause.

Lima Lounge is located at 1401 K Street and in close proximity to the McPherson metro station on the blue and orange lines.

Please tell your friends and come support the event.

Varla Jean Merman Loves Lots of Things

Filed under: Non Wedding — Tags: Onstar, Varla Jean Merman — rollerbladerdc @ 8:57 pm

This post is brought to you by 4 Poppers. Just so you know, GayWeddingGear.com does not support the use of Poppers or promote Poppers in any way besides this sponsorship which ties in fabulous. Watch the video below to understand why. =0).

I got an email from a friend today and all it was was a quote.

“You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

This quote was like holy crap. That is amazing and completely true. I don’t think it just applies to love with a person though. If you love a trip or vacation, love your new job, love your new pet or even love your new body if you have been going to the gym or the new outfit you get to wear to the white party this spring and summer you know what this quote is talking about.

When things are going really well for you, sometimes sleep isn’t neccesary and sometimes you would rather stay awake because everything is going so well for you. Oddly enough though, this quote came from an extremely unexpected source, it came from Dr. Suess.

He came up with things like One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish (That was for you lesbians), and tons of our favorite childhood stories and characters like the Grinch or the Cat in the Hat. Everyone knew he was a genius but who knew he could come up with a quote like the one above.

“You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” ~ Dr. Suess
This quote is amazing and insane and completely a way to really think about love and if you are in love. Staying with my Varla Jean Merman theme for this week, I was watching a commercial for things she loves in the commercial, (I cannot actually say she loves these things in real life, but it does look like she loves them in the commercial. If you want to know if she really does love them, you’ll have to ask her for yourself), and some things that she loves like Onstar because Onstar helped keep her from getting into trouble with the authorities because of the things she loves in the commercial.

As I said, the above statements are only related to the video and I am in no way saying that the fabulous and fierce drag queen diva Varla Jean Merman enjoys the things from the video, Onstar or anything else. These are just my opinions of what it appears she loves in her fake commercial. We love your Varla and your commercial is fabulous!
