119/ POST-PRIDE RIM JOB

With many coming into town for the previous weekend’s Pride festivities, some decided to extend their trip, either to recover or to continue the party. One of those individuals happened to be Randy Blue’s own Chip Tanner. Honestly, I’m not sure where Chip is from, or living these days, but he was dancing at MJ’s – that’s my point. He, along with Travis James cause quite the commotion in the outside shower, leaving them with an audience all night.
Randy Blue boys without clothes also typically indicates that I’ll get some hang time with Jeremy Lucido, luckily for me, that was the case again this time. & on that note, it was also good to see Shawn and Ry, with clothes on for once.

118/ PRIDE IN SPACE

After spending the day on the west of LA, I headed to more familiar territory, namely Akbar for Bears in Space: Pride Edition. Though Chris was out of town, he laid the ground work for an awesome party, with special guest DJ’s Victor Rodriguez, Gant Johnson, & birthday girl Phyliss Navidad. Along with resident Nite Dog, the aforementioned kept disco infused beats playing all night long. The furries came out in full force, most still intoxicated from all the celebratory day drinking – all the better for the photos. The event was made all the more special by a rare appearance by Zackary Drucker – it’s been far too long since we’ve seen her out. On the note off appearances, Cody Bayne also swung by, and I’ve been instructed to write more about him, by him.

115/ PRIDE SUNDAY

After watching the Parade from the vantage point of Santa Monica and La Cienega I intended to make my way to the grounds. While I did, a couple hours later, I also managed to make some stops at the LASC / Diesel party and a few other bars in the general area.
Walking past LASC I saw Ken, who was running the event, and he thankfully pulled into the fete. The main event took place on the roof, while there was a small reception in-store. The top of the parking structure was AstroTurfed out with kiddie pools abounding – some filled with water and a few with just some small balls for lounging. Party-goers drank freely, while models in barely there swimsuits lounged around while chatting up the crowd. Good fashion ran a muck, but then again, wouldn’t you expect that from a Diesel party? The choice to have the event of the roof left the event feeling spacious and inviting, even though the event was filled to the brim with a line by the elevators for the majority of the party’s duration. The big surprise at this event was Kelly Rowland’s appearance, she’s adorable btw.

114/ DUKE PRIDE

Post Milkshakes, I had some Two Boots pizza on the east-side then headed back toward WeHo for Duke’s Pride extravaganza. Joshua J. was in town to celebrate the lovely Phylliss Navidad’s birthday. You may know Joshua from his weekly w/ Juanita More Booty Call or his party Big Top, or quite possibly the images that appear of him on our site. Both ladies served as special guest hosts for the evening, and we were honored to have them. Philthy’s new wig was amazing, and I couldn’t stop complimenting her all night. Though the wig was a showstopper, the highlight had to be the hot piece that decided to gogo all by herself on the back stage, all I can say is thank you. Oh yeah, and Jessica Wild was there! It was nice to catch up, so happy for all her success.
Also, while I was there bar-owner Jay, and DJ extraordinaire Nelstar climbed a tree, I’m not shitting you.

112/ NOH8 MILKSHAKE UNVEILING

Saturday evening Millions of Milkshakes played host to the launch of Russell Simmon’s NOH8 Vegan Oreo Cookie Shake. Who knew Oreo’s were vegan? This particular discovery made me rather elated. In all seriousness, it was a great gesture that this media mogul came to our support, by aiding the NOH8 campaign in our shared quest for equality. What more, he offered to match all proceeds that the shake generates this week from sales – so please get your butt over to MOM and order a shake.
After the press had completed their interviews we all headed over the festival grounds where Mr. Simmons addressed both the audiences at the Hip-Hop tent, as well as the main stage. He managed to rouse both crowds with his genuine care and concern for our movement. His authenticity was quite visible, I for one am glad for his appearance and support. Thank you sir.

111/ FRESH MEAT / TRUCK STOP

Friday I hit up MJ’s for Fresh Meat Fridays for a Pre-Pride porn star invasion. Salt Lake import Parker London hit the stage with his über hot boyfriend, from what I was told a move to LA is imminent – so angelinos, you may now rejoice! Alexsander Freitas was also on hand rocking his leather look. He later changed into something slightly more revealing, but only slightly. Jive recording artist Matisse also hit the stage channeling an eightie’s Madonna look – good to know Lady Gaga isn’t the only one who borrows some looks from Madge. In all seriousness, she did an amazing job.
