Is this what you think of the gay scene — people who are not quite alive and who constantly pretend they are something else?
LA Zombie is not so much a commentary on the gay scene as it is a commentary on L.A. and the social situation in the city. When I arrived in L.A. for the shooting of LA Zombie in August 2009, I was shocked to see how many homeless people there were – I had a feeling the number had tripled or quadrupled since the last time I was in town. In the original script François’ character was not a homeless bum, but when I saw what was happening in L.A., I just couldn’t turn my back on this social crisis – I wanted to document it. LA Zombie is also a commentary on the gay porn industry. In the last scene the zombie is looking through a small window at an orgy with some gay porn stars. At some point their dealer comes and murders them all. This scene is the culmination of all the violence and wild primitive sex in the film…

Headmaster Mag
We are your new Headmasters and we are here to teach you a lesson. Lots of lessons, actually: social studies lessons, language arts lessons, phys ed lessons, science lessons and art lessons. If you’re lucky there may even be spelling and handwriting lessons. And we are not afraid to assign homework.
Sounds kinky doesn’t it? The headmasters will be a mind-blowing combination of science projects, studies, smart and sexy men (you can get that?!) who will demonstrate their witty writing skills and their nifty art projects. Quasi a print version of GRATEFUL GRAPEFRUIT. But bossier.

Trust my beard
Do you trust bearded men? And I mean not only the random guys you meet in bars and clubs. Do you trust more the beardy consultant in a shop or the other one who has a mustache?
According to Matt McInerney (pixelspread) and his “Trustworthiness of beards” info-graph trust is all about facial hair. Although I didn’t need a graph to know that a guy with a pencil thin chin strap or a pencil thin mustache (aka The John Waters or The Joe Jackson) is as trustworthy as a mafia mob. So how trustworthy are you according to that graph?

Bear Field Guide for Nerdy Hunters
The exbeariment Josh Rotter conducted in the emblematic San Francisco scene changed his perception for men, masculinity and fetishes. With a starting point like that it’s pretty easy: “Truthfully, I’ve never even kissed a beard. Preferring a neat workspace, I find excessive body hair too unwieldy.” The author dives in the vibrant bear scene in Castro and lets himself go the hairy way.
On his journey to beardom Roth experiences get very intensive – he needs just a couple of nights to study the bear nature, to find the perfect key to a bear’s heart or at least hairy chest (honey). Then Josh gets his beary climax when he realizes:
“I was squeezing my way out [of the bar] past the throngs of Bears, Cubs and Otters at the now packed club, he said “hi,” rubbed up against my hairy cheek with his and kissed my face. Going into insta-shock, I felt a static electricity run from his face to mine with the bit of friction. As my fingers caressed his furry upper chest through his V-neck shirt, I suddenly understood what everyone was talking about. I discovered the joy of Bear.”
Read more about his experiences and the outcome of this journey in the wilderness here. In the meantime also take a look at those stunning scientific bear guides which will help you plan your hunt better:
