Focus On: Jonathan Platero

I don't normally watch "So You Think You Can Dance" because I'm not really that big a fan of modern dance. It's just not my thing. However, I have been a big fan of photos that came out of one contestant this year - "Jonathan Platero." He's a gymnast turned dancer and is just gorgeous. So I was a bit disappointed when I turned to early night-time news on Fox last night and caught the very end of that show thus witnessing Jonathan being eliminated from the competition. It is just wrong for a guy that hot to be eliminated. They should have kept him around at least long enough to show off his perfect body some more. So here is my salute to Jonathan Platero.

PS: Yes, I do know that Michael Jackson died yesterday, but unlike countless Gay Bloggers, I'm not turning today's post into a paen to him. This blog is about hot guys, and even though Jackson was a great dancer and one hell of an entertainer he just wasn't attractive. So I will not now, nor will I ever, be posting an entry devoted to him. May he rest in peace, but just not as a photo spread in this blog.

I Hope This Isn't A Trend

Every now and then you see a movie star wearing something amazing or outlandish and you realize that you've just witness the start of a new trend or fad. And then sometimes you see an outfit and pray to God that you are not witnessing the birth of the new "IT" style. This picture of Tom Felton is one of the second moments. Please Lord, do not let this be the next big fashion for me.

Focus On: XY

Today I'm focusing on a THING instead of a person. XY Magazine is an amazing publication that has the younger gay generation as its audience. I think the idea is a great one. It provides a community for young guys who have just come out as well as a publication that someone just coming to terms with their homosexuality can purchase that has some actual content and articles instead of just a collection of porn (which you can get for free online these days anyway). Of course, being aimed at a younger market, it features pictures of younger guys - or should I say, pictures of guys in their PRIME! So for this first "Focus On: XY" I'm highlighting some of the examples of excellent cover art that have graced the front of this magazine.

And don't forget to go to your local Gay Bookstore and buy a copy!

Friends

Sometimes the whole world seems arrayed against you. Nothing goes your way. Other times the stress can be overwhelming. But being with friends is a sure-fire recipe for improving a situation.

Spending time with good friends is one of Life's greatest pleasures. However, it's even better when you're friends are absolute hunks. And it's the best when you're friends "with priviledges!"
