Overheard at the local CVS pharmacy, one pharmacy technician to another:
“A girl’s NuvaRing overheated ’cause it was left in the car.”
Unabashed Emergency: Nuva Nueva, Por Favor!
August 13th, 2010Unabashedly I-o-whattttt?
August 13th, 2010Excuse the absence but I have just endured a relocation from Los Angeles to Iowa City, Iowa which is one of those places where even though it’s called Iowa City, you still have to specify that it’s in the state of Iowa and not like one of those mind-fuck Kansas City, Missouri type cities.
There’s so much I want to say about life here but just accept this image for now:
Bitch is giving up an open-toe, high-heel sandal + panty hose under cuffed short jeans combo complete with ankle bracelet.
Fuck Los Angeles.

To You From Me
Unabashed Show-Offs: Blue Cross Knows What’s Up
July 8th, 2010With the current climate of disdain for insurance companies, especially Blue Cross, I want to take a moment out and acknowledge the company with the balls to raise premiums 40% at one time.
Blue Cross Blue Shield telephone hold message:
Hey guys, a weekend at the lake sounds fun, but be aware of the dangers involved. Males are three times as likely to die from drowning and fireworks than females.
This summer don’t be a show-off, and leave the heavy duty fireworks to the professionals.
Word.
Unabashed Valediction: xxxxxxxxxx
July 8th, 2010To Whom It May Concern:
When you “xxxxxx” at the end of every single email, I begin to doubt your sincerity.
Warmly,
Matt
Unabashedly Served: The Legends Ball
July 6th, 2010I only participate in gay pride festivities in cities where gay visibility is needed. I look forward to the future fag functions in my new home of Iowa City, Iowa, where hate groups à la Westboro Baptist Church still line the parade route using their inbred children as pawns. LA, New York, San Francisco: count me out; I’m not interested in the fracas.
But then there are the subsets of the major cities’ festivals. Black gay pride festivals take place in Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and this past weekend, Los Angeles Black Pride. Among day trips to the beach in Malibu and dance parties downtown, one of the pinnacle events was The Legends Ball hosted by Mother Devine Chanel and Arnold Allure of House of Chanel and House of Allure, respectively. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, wiki it or rent Paris Is Burning, but be gone until you do so. [Pics after the jump.]
Unabashed Codependence Day!
July 4th, 2010Happy Codependence Day, Mom!
Unabashed RIP: Custom Car Decals
June 19th, 2010A special request for when I leave this earth: please don’t memorialize me via custom car decal on the rear windshield of your car.
Today on Sunset and Vine, the Kia in front of me memorialized Tay-Tay (1981-2009), not with a decal, but scratched into the paint. There’s something more custom about keying your own car which I can appreciate.
Unabashed Casting Recall: James Franco as Allen Ginsberg
June 13th, 2010Thumbing through my LA Gay and Lezzie Film festival guide, I was forlorn to see a too-attractive wasp sitting at a typewriter wearing a white tee and Buddy Holly glasses with the word “HOWL” next to it and, moreover, the name “James Franco” under that. I say Goddamn! Put a hot guy in anything and gays will eat it up. Shit. Ginsberg wasn’t a hot Aryan, he was a handsome Jew. James Franco is a mere showpiece, a tart. Where’s Jeff Goldblum when you need him?
It's fun to be a gay beat poet!
