Welcome to Palm Springs California where depending on who you ask, 40 or even above 50% of its population is gay! That is like half a city of homos! Once I heard this (not to mention the average of 360 sunny days per year!!!) … I had to go and experience it for myself. I [...]

After a horrific winter and a most abysmal summer, Canadians all across the country are crossing fingers (and toes!) in hopes of a gentle winter. In the following weeks, I will be posting blogs (and video!) to take you away from the doldrums that are inevitably right around the corner.  Either for future planning or [...]

This year’s Big Brother is making a splash promoting a gay ex Jehovah’s Witness (Kevin) as one of the house mates.  Little did they know (or did they?) that Braden would garner most of the attention with this video from prior TV exposure on Dante’s Cove!  I know it is gratuitous nudity … but it is Friday [...]

I travel as much as I can possibly manage so when folks find out I am afraid to fly, the usual response is shock or laughter.  I should be a seasoned veteran, I should not even give it a second though BUT  … I do.  One of the main reasons for my fear is that [...]

  The top 10 most livable cities in the world were recently published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (sounds spooky!).  Out of the top 10, Canada held 3 spots including Vancouver at #1, Toronto at #4 and Calgary tied at #5!!  Australia did as well holding another 3 of the top ten spots.  For the [...]

I just love the fact that as a gay man living in Canada I can choose to marry the one I love AND, if / when the time is right, add another little adopted life to our family.  So … you can only imagine the smile that grew on my face when I read about the following [...]

A new advertising campaign depicting Air New Zealand’s staff donning only body paint is receiving rave reviews.  CLICK HERE to see the video.  I guess I will be visiting New Zealand in the very .. VERY near future!  I wonder what perks they now have in first class??

…Say goodbye to cancellation and emergency health benefits! I was curious about what travel issues we as Canadians are now facing with the H1N1 flu racing around 30 countries.  What I found took me a bit by surprise. I learned that given The Foreign Affairs Department issued a travel warning against Mexico April 27, 2009, cancellation/interruption insurance [...]

Since I happened along all of those sexy advertising videos (see my last post “Adidas hopping the Advertising Fence”) I was forwarded one of particular interest.  Looks like Nike is going where no shoe has gone before … well at least in the advertising world.  Who ever said that sex doesn’t sell … just watch.  Sure I could [...]

Adidas certainly has my vote for creative and alluring advertising.  Their new online add campaign has a group of 5 hunky jocks waiting for you to choose which of the two will willingly swap their jerseys.  Of course, like potato chips, you can’t choose just one.  Spent a few moments with it and let me know [...]

Slightly outside of my  territory lies a little story in the news that I thought rather prudent to share with our readers.  The story itself stems from a video released by The US Nation Organization for Marriage.   Given I am still unable to put together a comprehensive thought on my reaction to all of this, (screaming and banging my head [...]

The fall is quickly approaching and as most people look forward to sunny days and cool nights, my heart sinks at the sight (and thought) of the leaves changing colour.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again … if I were to choke you, you would turn pretty colours too!  It is a [...]

Day 4 and I find myself with enough time for one last shopping excursion.  With lady luck on my side I find that one piece that exudes a bit of what Montreal means to me … sexy, stylish, masculine and well priced!  Back on the train and I am in the comfort to which I [...]

Day 3 has my head spinning with pure joy. (and I am sure the pain killers have nothing to do with it … but that is another story all together!)   I am off for another round of brunching, lunching and disco dancing!  I always recommend indulging in some of the history, culture and art that [...]

Day 2 and I find myself in need of brunch and a double espresso.  The streets are packed as this weekend is not only Diverse-Cite but also the Francophone Follies and Nascar!  (as if this city didn’t have enough testosterone floating around!)   I find a great little patio right by the big stage of the [...]
