I liked Matt Damon and Michael Douglas but Rob Lowe looks the best in Behind The Candelabra. The Liberace & Scott Thorson love story is probably the Gay Impact Movie of the Year.

Fancy Lezzies
Wendy & Lisa gave a candid interview to out.com. They’re talking about their relationship, recording with Grace Jones, their time with Prince in The Revolution and recording an album with Trevor Horn in the 90ties which did not get released, partly because of his homophobic remarks.
I love how they describe Prince as a “fancy lesbian” and getting more upset phone calls from him everytime they share some purple memories.
The ladies new album White Flags of Winter Chimneys is available from Wendy & Lisa”™s web site.
Did you first think Prince was gay?
Lisa: He was little and kinda prissy and everything. But he”™s so not gay.
Wendy: He”™s a girl, for sure, but he”™s not gay. He looked at me like a gay woman would look at another woman.
Lisa: Totally. He”™s like a fancy lesbian.
Wendy: I remember being at that “œSexuality” video shoot and him on stage with that little black jacket and that tie thing around his neck and his black pants with white buttons on the side. And we looked at each other for the first time and I thought, “œOh, I could so fall in love with that girl easy.” It doesn”™t matter what sexuality, gender you are. You”™re in the room with him and he gives you that look and you”™re like, “œOkay, I”™m done. It”™s over.” He”™s Casanova. He”™s Valentino.
Wendy: We had an amazing month with [Jones] in our home writing “œWilliams”™ Blood,” becoming friends, and being bizarre divas. We had to pick her up when she woke up in the morning, and the morning to her was like 6 PM.
Lisa: She gets in the back seat of the car and of course we have to stop to buy bottles of champagne. She wanted to play the bass. She kind of couldn”™t, but she could groove like nobody”™s business on one note. She started to sing and I wish I could”™ve seen my own face. I was like —
Wendy and Lisa in near unison: Oh my God, it”™s Nightclubbing! [Jones”™s classic 1981 disco-punk album with the hit “œPull Up to the Bumper”]
Od’d on Gaudi
I’m basically overdosed on Gaudi.
Please send all your broken colorful tiles to my attention and I’ll prepare a turtle world out of them that will rival the Sagrada Familia but gayer. It shall be called “Gay Guell Tortuga (Gay)”. It shall take 77 years to be completed but it will not be finished ever. Think of it as an objet.
The turtle world will provide happiness to all people and will open everyday at 9 am. But the best pictures can be taken before 8 am, before the tourist busses arrive.
The merchandise shop will be open 24 h. The customers will be served free water.
All About My Brother
From the latest Gossip Girl episode, All About My Brother.
I almost couldn’t stop taking screen caps and typing dialogue. OOC.
S: You don’t even like Asher.
B: I didn’t like last seasons Louis Vuitton patchwork bag either but that doesn’t mean I wanna see it all over town on Jenny Humphry’s arm.
R: I know Serena went through a similar phase.
L: If Serena’s indiscretions were as PG as Jenny’s I wouldn’t needed the botox.
GG: This just in. Asher Hornsby spotted locking lips before class but not with his girlfriend.
G: Eric’s found himself a new boyfriend.
E: Excuse me.
…
L: This doesn’t make any sense, because that would mean that Eric is… And he’s not… He’s just not… Are you? Oh God…
S: Eric?
E: When I was at Ostroff, I met this guy and we were going through a lot of the same stuff. And now, that guy, he is dating Jenny.
S: Wait, you are the mystery guy that Asher was spotted kissing?
BG1: Oh my god, Blair crashed Jenny’s party.
BG2: Jenny’s gonna freak.
B: Wait and learn, ladies. The most important parties to attend are the ones you are not invited to.
E: Gossip Girl was right, Asher was kissing someone this morning. Me.
…
E: I’m gay and so are you.
A: Get this faggot out of here.
E to B: Go ahead and do it.
A: What did you just do?
B: You’ll see.
Gemein
I recently discovered an obscure record: It has a Romanthony remix. You might say, well, that is not so special. But what if I tell you that the mix is for the Berlin based Schlager-House (according to their old press clippings) band Andy und die Anitas who only released one album more than 10 years ago, titled “Zuhause etwas spannendes erleben” (experience something exciting at home)?
The trashy disco house paired with cheerful German vocals was a big hit with Toffi and me. Superschum loved it, too. The lyrics touched our adolescent souls:
So viele gehen nach kurzer Zeit wieder auseinander
Sie haben Küsse bei heisser Musik mit Liebe verwechselt
Wir wollen das nicht tun
Wir wollen sicher sein
(Für immer)
Viel Talent für geflirt
Aus dem niemals was wird
(So ist ein Boy)
One of the singles was “Ich will zu Dir gemein sein” (I wanna be mean to you). Not so long ago, while browsing discogs.com, I found the entry relating to the promo 12″ of said song, ordered it, received it, digitalized it:
Andy und die Anitas – Ich will zu Dir gemein sein (Romanthony Softcore Mix)
Ein Blick in seine Augen
Die Welt um uns steht still
Eine ungefragte Frage
Er weiss genau: Ich will
Ertrunkene Gefühle
Tauchen auf aus dem Meer
Schlagen meterhohe Wellen
Fallen über uns her
(Die Stunde der Sehnsucht)
The only thing that I would like to know now: How did the remix happen? Did the Anitas have a fling with Romanthony? Or Andy?
Someone For The Man
I became a Scissor Sisters fan when I heard their single Electrobix, the gay gayness anthem, which didn’t make it on the first album. Then, before their debut album was released, I discovered the demo album. It was very pop, had great synths, danceable beats. Some of the best dance tracks didn’t make it to the final release and I wondered why.
Two of my favourite demo songs are Someone To Touch and Step Aside For The Man. Did they sample the beats or was it their own programming? Only recently I found out that Step Aside For The Man samples So Many Men So Little Time by Miquel Brown (via). Can someone tell me if the Scissor Sisters used a sample for Someone To Touch?
Hurry, download the two songs and tell me. xoxo.
I just came back to the Scissor Sisters because the demo album is still the best.
I really tried to listen to their latest, Ta-Dah.
