Unzipped
Entry 109: August 1, 2000- August 7, 2000
 Dean Phoenix..Oi! |
Wow! I didn't end up on the cutting room floor!
The Unzipped magazine came out early this week. I realized it had hit the stand when on Tuesday I got an email from someone who had a subscription and decided to write me. I was so nervous and excited to see how much space and what was said that I headed down to the Tapelenders at lunch to see if they had any copies in.
Met Vic down at Tapelenders, and was kinda disapointed to find that they hadn't received their shipment yet. So I gave them my card and told them to hold five copies for me, and to call me when they arrived. Then we went to lunch at Wendy's. ~g~
On Thursday, Tapelenders called and I went down and picked up my copies. Yikes! My winkie is in it!!! I had sent them a bunch of photos (all rated PG) but forgot that I had given them access to the various screen shots of me in all my glory. I about fainted when I saw my bits right there in the magazine. So much for showing mom and dad! Well, maybe I will paste a little fig leaf over the offending parts.....
I am not sure if I should be proud or embarassed. Mostly embarassed I think, but not ashamed at all. I am REALLY hoping this will bring more targeted interest to the new Member's Area. So far, I have only got about ten emails from readers, but Vic keeps consoling me that their readers might not be "done" with the pictorials. So who knows?
The article is pretty straight forward, in fact it is mostly the question's I answered in the written interview. No commentary at all.
Several alarming/funny items. First, NOT liking having my photo in amongst all the beeeautiful, hunky, hung and beefcake porn stars. It's like playing Sesame Streets "One of These Things Does Not Belong" So I keep telling myself, I am NOT trying to compete with porn stars, they were just doing a feature on cam-ops and personal websites, apparently a monthly column, and that I was lucky enough to be first.
Other weirdness, the header and tagline for the article. "Texas Stud" and "Fucking on cam" Yeeks! The first does NOT fit me at all -makes me laugh~ especially with my little pooch all displayed in the lead picture. As for "fucking on cam", I am SUCH a prude..they said fucking! Actually, most of the taglines etc. are all pretty graphic word-wise, but what was I expecing anyway..~hehe~
Final thing, the last question they asked me was what I wouldn't do on camera. I get that question a lot, and I always jokingly say "Never do the poo thing" It's kinda become a running joke. Talking about the poo sites. Anyway, there happens to be a 1-800 advert on the facing page- Nice looking guy sitting in a bathrobe that I swear, with a cursory glance, looks like he is sitting on a toilet. Cracks me up! Then to have my final answer about poo cams followed up by that picture...~giggle~
I do want to thank Gabriel over at Unzipped. He was super nice, and I can't believe I went from a small sidebar blurb to a full page. ~Head Spinning~ Thanks guys, and good luck with your new monthly format!
If you would like to get you're own copy, try ur local gay or porn store. Unzipped does have a site, and you can subscribe from there. I doubt you would want to subscribe for little ole me, but do go over and check out their site. It is really slick, and I LOVE the javascript openers for the larger versions of their photos. Each window opens up sized to fit the photo exactly, without any navigation bars.
Geez, what a nerd....the guys are cute too!
Skate Team
Vic and I are both trying to get back to a normal routine. We have been skating with Joel every Tuesday at one of the local rink's Adult Nights. The adults skating there are pretty hard core skaters! We've missed the last couple weeks, and since we have both invested in skates, we are determined to get full use out of them.
Bill joined us this week, and we met Joel, Michael and Divad at the rink around 8pm. It's pretty obvious that we are the gay boy crowd, and since Vic and I even couple skate, no one has to even guess.
We have noticed another small crowd of gay boys skating also, but we had never really said "hi" before, and it was really kinda silly. Finally, I think Divad or maybe Joel broke the ice, and our two smaller groups joined forces and we now own the skate floor. ~g~
We all worked up some hunger so the entire lot of us headed over to Kerby Lane. Pictured above is ultra cutie- James. What you boys think? Should I hit him up for Bio4ms? What a great smile, and he has a terrific Texas accent. Would make ya melt if ya heard him!
This is Kim, who appears to be the ring leader of their group. Divad was quick to invite them all over for the next Ally Night, and they also didn't know about the Rainbow Skating that takes place every month. Will likely get to skate with them twice next week.
In fact, this Wednesday is the next Rainbow Skate. Geez! I swear we just did this last week! My goal this time is to get a game of tag going. Of course, I want to gay it up bit, and am searching for a blonde wig. Who ever is IT has to have it on their head when they tag someone. I am calling my new game "Drag Tag". We'll see if I can get everyone into it.
So will probably skate twice next week- Tuesday's Adult Night, and then the Rainbow thang. So if you are in Austin and want to hang out, come on over! (check e-vents for locations).
Final photo is of newcomer Tim and Divad. (Rumor has it these two had a date this Friday)

ChaosInAustin just bought a new clear glass shower door for the "shower cam" Hey! It's a business expense! Seriously, I can't stand plastic shower curtains, and I am such a klutz that I need the extra handles to stop myself from breaking a hip.
I am pretty handy around the house (if I say so myself) and didn't think this looked like too difficult of a job. Actually, all was going well until I discovered halfway through the installation that three quarters of the parts were missing. So I had to email the company and they are shipping out new parts. I hope they come next week! I hate having the shower all messed up and it is unusable. Been using the extra bathrrom till it all gets finished. I better get it done by the 17th, because my parents will be here.
| Movin' Paul and John |
Everyone seems to be moving these days. Paul and John are re-locating also. We basically repeated what I did last week, and had a bunch of friends show up to caravan everything over to the new place. This time out, we had more guys with big trucks, so we managed the move in one caravan
Vic moves John's UT horns. ~insert horny joke here~
The Three D's-- Darrin, Daniel and David successfully navigate the steep and narrow stairwell. That Darrin, so shy!
What a guy Gerald is. He hurt his knee pretty bad playing some manly-type sport, and actually had to hire movers for his own move that took place a couple weeks ago. So what's he do? Show's up to help move other people! His car was in the shop, and he had a big ole F150 which was perfect for moving the beds and heavy stuff.
I keep chipping away at this boy and someday I may get him to pose for me. Someday.
Speaking of great guys, Joel is always happy to lend a hand even though the boy works long tiring hours at the hospital. Smooch baby!
After getting the boys moved, we abandoned ship, and our small "Friday Night Group" went to the Wok-holic for a late night grease binge. We returned back to my place to watch a video and ended up watching Run Lola Run again. Despite the frantic pace of the movie, I fell almost instantly asleep on the floor. What a host!
| Raging Flowers |
Rage sent me some flowers via one of the online flower companies, and I can't believe how good they looked on arrival! I will have to remember this as an option for sending flowers.
Totally missing Rage now that his site is down for good, but thankfully I get an email from him every now and then letting me know what he is up to.
Thanks for the roses babbbby! They look great!
Also on the thank you list, is Tramp99...he sent a care package for the puppies, and they have been dining on gourmet dog treats all week. Sam and Chaos have a lick or two just for you!
| Hollow Man |
We knew we were gonna be in trouble when we saw that Hollow Man, the new Kevin Bacon movie, only got one star in local paper's rating review.
I also realized that it would be down right awful when I saw Paul Verhoeven was directing it. Twister is on my list of "Top Twenty Worst Movies That Made More Money Than It Should"
Ok, the special effects were the best ever. But the plot, the motivation, the acting....p.u. And I was more forgiving than Vic, Doug and Ty were when we went and saw it on Saturday.
Two highlights of the movie. Kevin Bacon in the buff. Lordy, love his skinny ass! Kevin is a bit of an acting joke, but I have a certain fondness for him ever since the camp classic "Tremors" (ironically listed in my "Top Twenty Best Movies That Should Have Made More Money Than Bill Gates Last Wednesday")
And as Craigger points out in this weeks eskoops, it's all about Kevin Bacon's bits...go read it, I was laughing my teeth off!
Second Highlight...hunky Josh Brolin. Yes, James Brolin's son. You may remember the hunkster from such movies as: Mod Squad, Mimic, and Bed of Roses. Most notably, you may even remember him as the good lookin cool kid in The Goonies
Anyway, he was quite the daddy in the movie, and he could just stand there with his shirt off through the whole movie and I would have rated the movie a box office smash. But alas, we only got to see him shirtless a couple times.
I don't know where I dredged up this photo of him, but he sure looks like the guy who plays Angel on Buffy and Angel.
Ok, I gotta go do a photo shoot with a cute boy named David, so you all have a good week, and remember to take a look at Bio4ms and the T-shirt sale! Asklips was updated too!
