Ridiculous Gay Profile of the Day

2012-01-25T17:22:00.002-05:00

I have a few things to say about this.First, it's a ginger Junior. Wait. Let me say that again because I didn't feel the sonic boom coming from your side of the computer, so I must have said something wrong. Pause. Okay.It's a ginger Junior.A GINGER JUNIOR.Do I need to remind you of how much I love gingers?Exactly. And his name is Junior like how my name is... oh, that was the other thing I

Oscars 2012: Nomination Reactions From Someone Who Hasn't Paid Attention But'll Still Watch With a Tub of Häagen-Dazs

2012-01-24T10:38:00.005-05:00

I will be perfectly honest with you.I haven't really been keeping up with all the Oscar bait movies this year. I saw "The Help," I still have to see "Midnight in Paris" and "The Descendants," but other than that, I'm good. Despite my ambivalence toward the films, I can still indulge in the Oscar derby.Why should the football fans be the only ones to have something to debate over and discuss this

Am I a Hipster? And If I Am, Does Denying It Make Me More of a Hipster? Quandary.

2012-01-22T17:22:00.003-05:00

I am happy to report that my friend Todd has a girlfriend. Yes, no more wondering about the size of his penis for me, because he now has someone new to share his life junk with and also, I am no longer staying at his house thereby putting myself in proximity with his life junk.It's a win win.The girl he's dating, whom we'll call Emily, is nice. I don't not like being around her. She can get a

Sh!t [Blank] Say Video MEGAPOST!

2012-01-13T13:34:00.002-05:00

I've been pretty video heavy lately. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. You'll have to tell me. As I've already started writing the post, there's not much I can do about it now so let's just enjoy, shall we? Today we're talking about those viral online "Sh!t [Blank] Say" Videos that are all the rage on the YouTubes and the Interwebs. If you don't know, these videos are short snippets of

Paid Programming: Black People Are No Longer Necessary, Everybody, So Then That Happened...

2012-01-09T09:53:00.005-05:00

There was a point in time, not too long ago, when businesses wanted to show that they had "street cred" that they would turn to whatever black rapper was bubbling under the mainstream consciousness, have them spit some rhymes about their product, and seem edgy and hip tangentially. Well, those times are over because white people (whom I adore and whose men I have several active crushes on as I

It's Fashion Ad Friday! the Hot or Not? Edition

2012-01-06T10:10:00.001-05:00

Welcome to Fashion Ad Friday, the Hot or Not? Edition. You didn't know it was Fashion Ad Friday, the Hot or Not? Edition today? That's because I just made it up. Alright, the way that this works is that we have a few different fashion ads targeting both men and women and I want to know whether you think the ads are Hot or Not?, meaning is the overall presentation effective, meaning does the ad

Cineplexed: Live-Blogging "Brokeback Mountain"

2011-12-22T23:37:00.003-05:00

Hello one and all to the live-blog of "Brokeback Mountain," one of my very favorite films ever made! If you've never read a movie live-blog before, what it is is basically me commenting on the movie as it happens complete with timestamps and pictures to help you follow along. I suggest that you grab a copy of the movie (and a DVD player natch) and open up the blog at the same time so you can get

Ridiculous Gay Profile of the Day

Paid Programming: De-Creeping That Incesty Folgers Holiday Commercial (You Know the One)!

2011-12-19T08:02:00.000-05:00

Several years ago, coffeemakers Folgers decided to release the above commercial... You know what? I was gonna be all "Folgers probably had no idea that said commercial was going to be the poster video for the Brother/Sister Incest Alliance, which is something that I just made up that probably exists but I dare not Google it to find out," but now that I think about it, I think Folgers probably

An Interlude Question to the World: What's Your Favorite Modern Holiday Song?

2011-12-16T10:13:00.000-05:00

Sad news, everyone. I had to cancel my holiday party. I know. Thank you. You're sweet. For those of you who can't offer sympathy because you have no idea what I'm talking about, I was planning on having an old-timey holiday party this week. It was gonna be a throwback affair where we'd all dress up in fancy clothes, stand around and drink egg nog, trim a tree, sing carols from people with names

TV Time: What the H Is Going on With the NBC Nightly News? Seriously, Get it Together, Girl.

2011-12-12T11:14:00.001-05:00

I just want to start this post by saying that I do not watch the news. I have no capacity for staring at the TV while people stare back and shout the words "fear" and "worry" at me for hours on end. I rather read about it, and when I say "read about it" what I mean is scan the New York Times homepage to make sure no one died and then flip directly to the Arts section to read about musicals I will

The Sunday Swoon: Blu Kennedy

2011-12-04T14:11:00.001-05:00

Hello, everyone! It's new Juice with Junior! I know! It's crazy. I went away to have an acute depressive episode find an apartment, and it ended up taking me like 3 months! Well, that's all in the past as I'm back and ready to celebrate the holidays. All that's coming up. Consider this the "soft" opening... although there's nothing soft about today's Sunday Swoon! HEYYYOOO!We're still solely

Romance Novel Cover of the Day

2011-10-14T11:50:00.002-04:00

Cassie Ryan's "Seducing the Succubus" (above)There is literally so much. I saw this cover at a now-closed Borders store in NYC (this one's for you Borders. I'll never step foot in a Barnes & Whatever. They can suck it out of my...) and I literally saw the words "There is literally so much" flash before my eyes like an hallucinatory ticker tape. I may be developing schizophrenia. Anyway, I'll deal

TV Time: Chatting With Mom on the Slate of New Fall Shows

2011-10-12T12:37:00.000-04:00

When I couldn't think of anything to write about and you guys were all "um, we're OK with muscle videos if you wanted to make a sandwich or...", I decided to turn somewhere else to get blog inspiration.That someone is my mother, and if you were wondering, yes, my mother is Diahann Carroll, and yes, my childhood was amazing (when mom wasn't standing next to hors d'oeuvre platters in high-waisted

Well Jesus Christ, B!tch, What the F*ck Is It That You Want?

2011-10-02T02:58:00.000-04:00

The title of this post comes from a conversation I recently had with a forthcoming friend about the pitiful state of my (non-existent) love life.I described the things I described to you guys already: the terrible dates, the falling for scores of straight men, and my apparent inability to either feel confident enough about myself to approach a man I like or meet any man who is confident enough

My "Anderson" Cooper Story, Or How I Got Within 20 Yards of Him and Didn't Jump on His Face... It Took Discipline, Girl...

2011-09-28T11:29:00.009-04:00

I maybe, just maybe, might have talked about my complete, all encompassing, unabashed love for a one Mr. Anderson Cooper (left). I might have talked about that before. Maybe.Not sure. Anyway, I have a story for you guys, but unlike most of my stories, I'm gonna tell you the end of the story first and work my way forward (or backward?) like a French crime noir or Christopher Nolan movie or

This Is What Happens When You Leave Junior Up to His Own Devices And He Can't Think of Anything to Blog About...

2011-09-26T18:05:00.000-04:00

And you're welcome (?).Seriously, people, I can't think of anything to write about.It's not like I don't want to blog. I just have been staring at the computer screen for a half and hour, and I gots... muscle videos... like the ones you see above.Don't get me wrong; a muscle video is certainly an enjoyably time waster if you're like me and you like your men teenage and built like small SUVs, but

The Sunday Swoon: Lawrence Washington

2011-09-25T15:30:00.004-04:00

It has recently come to my attention that Miss Andy Cohen and the folks of Bravo with questionable taste have greenlit a TV show that would feature "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star (?) Kim Zolciak by herself. I mean, I kiiinda understand why: Kim does have the kids and the new baby and the ballplayer fiance who literally looks like he can barely string two sentences together. But even still, if

Cineplexed: My Review of "Weekend," the (Now) Not-So-Little, Unfortunately Not-So-Good Gay Indie Film

2011-09-23T01:38:00.003-04:00

I had the opportunity to attend a screening of the British movie "Weekend," director Andrew Haigh's much buzzed indie film that is making waves as being one of a select group of gay-themed movies to attract a wider, mainstream (read: straight) audience. Of course, as with anything I do in my life, there is a story that goes along with me attending this screening, but I'm saving it for next week.

The Serial

New York City BoysChapter Twelve - Disappearing Acts(Revisit earlier chapters by clicking here)Jon’s legs straddled Erik’s torso as he rose up on his knees, exhausted after what seemed like a particularly active and engaging sexual session. Surprisingly, given what was occurring in his life, Jon was in a pretty good mood. It made looking at Erik’s dour face, eyes downcast as if permanently ready

The Sunday Swoon: Ivri Lider

2011-09-18T23:40:00.002-04:00

Okay, I'm getting to the point where I'm about to start smacking the back of hands. People, the fact that no one told me about the thing that I'm about to talk about is simply unacceptable. I should have been informed!I've been in the middle of trying to find an apartment, a process which is both painstaking and incredibly annoying, plus I recently bought a new John Cena poster so you know I've

Cineplexed: I Will Not Believe "Magic Mike" Is Happening Until I See It... Over and Over and Over and Over Again...

2011-09-07T09:15:00.001-04:00

People, this whole me not having an apartment and being able to sit and read my favorite Web sites or watch my favorite TV shows ("Sewing With Nancy" weeps for me. She's prolly made all kinds of ridiculously hideous sweaters just waiting for me to watch her again!) has just got to stop. The fact that I just read about the thing I'm here to talk to you about today is...COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!What
