Now that we found love what are we gonna do? The Winter 2011-12 Gay Thread

btw the new Givenchy boy models look pretty dope imho

i went to brooklyn with my boyfriend and stayed in a hotel. the elevator in the hotel was lit with violet LEDs and had shitty dance music piped in. rave elevator, not so great. the rest of the trip was pretty awesome. fluffy king-sized bed, why can't you be mine??

i also brunched a lot and saw the HIDE/SEEK queer portraiture exhibit at the brooklyn museum (highly recommended btw)

the thing from the smithsonian?

does it have this in it?

that is still the best thing

last I read, yes

wish I had my trip money to DC from last January in my pocket, in other words

i hate mattresses for being so expensive and ridiculous but when i go somewhere the bed is like one of the best things, even if it's a motel 6 or whatever. xp

i'm real bummed i didn't get to see that hide/seek show when i was in nyc last

i plan on being back in april tho btw

perchance around Apr 21?

two weeks before that :/

i have a pretty nice queen mattress at home but it is SUPER FIRM, just firm as anything, the firmest bed ever. mostly because my boyfriend can't deal with soft, squishy mattresses because they aggravate his back & joint issues, so when i get to sleep in a poofy plush mattress it is always a treat.

also donna the exhibit is only there until 2/12 ;_;

We saw this when we were in Brooklyn! And also brunched a little bit.

It was really quite excellent.

yeah! i bought the exhibition catalog too because obviously i needed more queer coffee table art books

p.s. kinda fell in love with this 'arnold comes of age' tbh, colors are insanely vibrant irl. <3

i've never really gotten into queer books, or queer art in general i guess

altho a good friend of mine curates a queer art performance festival so in terms of dance and live performance i'm there

best queer art i've seen recently was the adventures of tintin

I need to live alone. Or at least with someone whose as much of a neat freak as I am.

Proof: the way my roommate has magazines stacked on the bookshelf in our living room pisses me off. Guh!

my god

i actually live with people who are the exact right level of neat for me. its not a pigsty but there isn't shit lying around or anything.

I know, it's so stupid and I've had roommates who were much worse! (like the fake-jewish pothead who used to live here)

You would love the sprawling piles of the NY Times that occupy floorspace in my apt.

morbs i just feel like we would be perfect housemates.

well if you hear of a place in London that needs a proofreader of American English LMK.

Morbs I'm sure we'd have a lot to talk about and the value of your presence would make up for any slovenliness, whereas this roommate never initiates conversations ever and is just kind of boring

so i ran into a guy i went on a date with over a year ago at an art opening last week and we hung out again tonight. he's kinda terrific and i'm not sure why we let that year+ elapse in the first place, but um...i don't want that to happen again.

Who is that?

cute

My boy and I just saw HIDE/SEEK this weekend, spent way longer than we had anticipated it was so good. Noticed they mostly steered away from embellishment and camp and stuck more to what I might call sensuality and reverence, I think this payed off. We both wanted the catalog but it's like 15 dollars cheaper off amazon so that's to come. Totally recommended queer coffee table art book: Some Faggy Gestures by Henrik Olsen.

A+ DN, scottfree

is scottfree a new moniker for one of the regular, or someone new?

I'm new, I'm new! Scott here.

hi scott!

so are you visiting Gotham or residing, scott?

Just visiting. We came up to see Bjork on friday and spent the night at my cousin's in Brooklyn and had an excellent weekend of museums and generally arty things plus a bit of shopping natch.

hi scott!

If anyone wants something authentically romantic visit the NY Hall of Science—huddled together observing microbes under the 'scope + taking turns demonstrating optical illusions + hall of mirrors, I can't even tell you how magical this was.

oh, you're THAT scott :)

;)

I had an inkling that it might be you we were to partake in Crash with. Sorry about the no-show; another time most definitely. Brooklyn Museum really engaged us for way longer than we were expecting. I'm thinking of getting an artist's membership to Moma for the film screenings, so there's that in the future perhaps.

hi scott, welcome

i think i get it

hey there are some really great Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Yves Klein pieces up at the Art Institute Museum that I hadn't seen before that you'd probably enjoy.

i was having all these melancholic feelings today thinking about fgt, thinking how sad it is that he died
