Marsha Lo

Many seek to rewrite history, especially the atrocities that stemmed from this date 44 years ago.

Never allow them to win, for otherwise the tens of thousands of victims shall be victims again twice over, and our country will be forever stained with the blood of the innocent.

They could be brothers.

by on Sep.20, 2016, under Film & TV

Yesterday, I wrote about Kevin Zegers (1984), of whom I’m a huge fan.

What I didn’t mention is how I’ve always thought how much similar he looked to two other actors that I adore: the older Ian Somerhalder (1978) and the younger Zac Efron (1987). (If you don’t know any of them, especially Zac, please abandon the rock you’ve made your home and join us in civilization.) They all look distinct enough but have sufficient similar features and angles that they could be brothers.

As it turns out, I’m not the only one who thinks this because I’ve encountered at least one site that basically agreed with me.

The Male Revelation: 32

by on Sep.19, 2016, under Film & TV

I first saw Canadian actor Kevin Zegers in the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead. Apparently, he’d already built a bit of a name as a child actor starring in the Air Bud series, but as I’d never watched those films, I only got to know about him in that classic zombiepocalypse revamp where he played a young mall security guard torn between his loyalty to his colleagues and doing the right thing.

Yes, I won’t deny that he caught my eye because he’s so cute and adorable. Look at him.

Babaylan at 24

by on Sep.18, 2016, under My Life, Queer, Society

Last night, I attended Babaylan Night, celebrating the 24th anniversary of UP Babaylan. As an alumnus of this trailblazing LGBT organization and a member of its alumni NGO (Babaylanes, Inc.), I am proud of all that the group has achieved in the past quarter of a century.

It was also great to have seen old friends once again and to have met a few new ones, both founders as well as newbies.

Ah, Pietro.

by on Sep.17, 2016, under Queer

If at this point in time you have not heard of Pietro Boselli – that perfect Italian male specimen who is both an underwear a fashion model and a Doctor of Engineering, not to mention a former math lecturer – then I worry for you, darling.

The twenty-something gorgeous man went viral last year, and with good reason.

Just look at him.

Cut Loose

by on Sep.16, 2016, under Music & Theater

I discovered Slovenian musical group Perpetuum Jazzile a few months back on YouTube, and if you’ve never heard or seen them, it’s time to correct that.

Punch your cards and cut loose, folks.

Happy weekend!

Best advice for stupid people. Let’s prevent their genes from propagating into the pool.

Monica Does Pinoy Henyo

Courteney aced it, of course, though she did struggle with Ugly Naked Guy. Then again, who wouldn’t? Besides, she offset it with saying “The Days of Our Lives” instead of simply “Days of Our Lives” since, technically, Joey incorrectly thought it was The Days of Our Lives.

Yeah, I’m a Friends addict.

Shake Shake Shake

by on Sep.12, 2016, under Film & TV, Music & Theater

Sometimes, especially on a holiday, you just want to disco. Don’t even try to deny it.

(Can you believe this was almost forty years ago? This also would’ve been considered somewhat scandalous back then, but it just seems so tame in the now.)
