Down here they have three levels of colds and flus. I have passed cold to light flu. Lots of sore throat, coughing, etc. I felt a bit guilty not accompanying my friend around Rio. Friday was a day off for him. I guess he needed to rest the love tunnel after the poundings by Leandro and Anderson. We did some food shopping at Extra, Zona Sul and Pao de Acucar. I felt up for an adventure to Meio Mundo. He...not so much. Big mistake. We went last night after hitting the two Asian markets on the Rua Marques de Abrantes in Flamengo. Besides Friday being the national holiday to N.S. Aparecida, it was also the Days of the Children holiday. We walked into Meio Mundo and my eyes were imploded by large, plastic toys. Kind of like an x-rated X-Mas Nutcracker gay porn with guys parading around with hard-ons amongst giant plastic animated characters. It was a pretty normal Saturday for Meio Mundo. My friend was a bit disappointed after his festivities on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I was told that Friday had been quite incredible.
I have come to the conclusion that without the earlier stripper show, there isn't much to keep clients hanging around. Meio Mundo has turned into a puteiro with 2 shifts. There are a group of guys who are there earlier to entertain clients who are stopping by after work and then another group who arrive later for the 9PM/9:30PM drag show. When we arrived yesterday at 5:30PM, there were 5 clients leaving. Quite early. And then later on, besides clients, more buys came later as well. IT used to be that Jorge(not the owner) and some others would take a sunga and dance as a way to get free admission. This past week, both times at Meio Mundo, Jorge wasn't even there. If anyone has been there in past couple of years, he is the best dancer there. A talented oralist, or so I have been told, totally completo and exceedingly quiet, definitely not a talker as he is functionally illiterate. He has a super body, but not overtly steroidal.
We have had a cold front "frente frio" sweep down from the Andes and pick up moisture over the Pantanal for the past four days. But today is a bit warmer, the sun is trying to break through the clouds and I hope to burn this sucker out at Farme tomorrow with my friend from DC.
