...wonderful article and outstanding photographs. I went to the photographer's Facebook page and sent photos to all of my friends. I went to Cuba in 1998 for a little over eight days. ...was with a group of eight on a special mission. The place was indeed an eye-opener; the men gorgeous although I could only marvel in their beauty and handsomeness. Even brought back some cuban cigars for gifts. At customs in Miami, I was asked about them; told the truth and kept them. Another travel to this island/country is in the future. I'll probably go with http://www.insightcuba.com.

As soon as I cash my $600 million lottery check, I plan to send all our worthy posters on a month long vacation to Tahiti together with the escort(s) of their choice. I'm thinking this expenditure meets any reasonable standard of probity (given the immense number of starving escorts that will be raised from penury).

Great photos on the Advocate. I can't wait till the USA is able to travel there without restrictions. http://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/photography/2013/05/18/photos-cuba-libre

So I have been recommended by some generous members here to go to Adan. I did go there in April. In terms of selection of guys, there were probably 3,4 guys that I like. I usually like muscular guys in 20's. There were some muscular guys in their 30s but not my type. Overall, the guys are predominantly from Latin America. I went there around 5pm, when supposedly most guys start showing up. Some are really hot, they seem to charge 50e per session, 30e for massage. The only problem was negotiating the price AFTER the sex. First I went to this young muscular Spanish guy, who said 50e. We went to a cabin but he couldn't get hard lol So I decided to top him even though I wanted to bottom. He was a tight bottom Then when I gave him 50e, he said it is 100e. I got a bid mad and said no, then he said at least 70e, then we are done. I didn't want to argue in the sauna so I paid 70e, which was probably a bad idea for other customers because he thinks he can do it again... Then this one brazilian guy didn't let me go at all. He told me that the spanish guy was bad because of price negotiation but himself wouldn't do it and everything is 50e. He was good but I wanted to try out other guys. But he was very smart and he brought his friend, who was actually my type. This guy was a bit shy. So the brazilian guy proposed 3some and he said it's only 100. He really pursued me all over the sauna, and when I was around the cabin, he asked me to come into one of the cabins and dropped his towel. At this point, I just said, let me try kissing first. Oh man they both gave me an amazing kiss, so I decided to go for them. This brazilian guy topped me while I sucked and kissed the other guy, who was a good kisser. But when I tried to kiss the brazilian guy, he said no! WTF??? Anyway, it didn't really bother me much because the other guy (who is my type) was a good kisser and kept kissing me. So I finished up and went to my wallet. Guess what, he claimed 100e each, I said 100e for both but he said he meant 100e each not for both. Really? that was not our agreement! the second WTF lol Anyway, I got mad and he said 150 and then we are all set. I paid 150 and left. So overall, the sex part was fun. And I really enjoyed the feeling of being popular there and being pursued by hot guys one by one. I would definitely go back even for the sake of that feeling again. But price negotiation really annoyed me...I personally do not like negotiation afterwards but they probably sense that and argue with me because I am kind of soft-spoken etc. Anyway, if you have good suggestions for price negotiations, please let me know

We live to serve. I got stymied the same way some time ago. I think I was rescued when Oz (?) posted an explanation of that toggle switch, whose function is to expose the HTML formatting of a post in the event one wishes to format something at that level. I do find it easier to mess around inside quoted matter from a previous post (say, deleting parts not relevant to my reply post) with the HTML exposed. The other way -- working in WYSIWYG -- I tend to overrun the end-tags and corrupt the thing. Which I already do enough of in real life!

Lookin buddy, we DONT know, nor should we care.... Its all just good ole Entertainment...ON with the Show !

Adam hon, what does his Manicure set have to do with Shoes ???????

Is your toggle-switch in the upper left corner NOT gray? That button toggles all the other formatting buttons off, if it is on. Click it to toggle it off, if it is on, and the other formatting buttons should re-expose. If that's not it, time to send in the geeks.

As with most all things Latinate!

A very generous offer, and quite titillating too, even though 'probity' and 'penury' turned out to mean something other than what I first hoped they did.

Violence ensued if you believe this article from today's NY Post! What is it with people and their phones? cannot they let go for two hours while the rest of us enjoy a show? Last week I had to shush a very well-dressed couple who would not stop talking. It worked, until the guy started getting texts. He would light his phone up in the dark theater, read the message, contemplate it for awhile...then pass it on to his wife for the very same ritual. All the time the phone stayed lit. This must have happened three times before intermission. That's when they moved a seat away from me...thank them! I was still left with the old lady behind me who was sure she was in her living room where she could chat loudly about all she was seeing. Yes, I hushed her at intermission and was surprised to see her actually shut up for the second half. C'mon! I paid some $100 to be there, to see a show, not listen to her. So, back to today's article in the Post. We see it happen from time to time where a performer interrupts the show due to a ringing cell phone. And I'll admit the culprit was once me, with a new cell that did not shut up like the old one did. But going forward, we gotta do better, both in the theater and the movies, or else we will lose the communal experinece of enjoying something together. Today's Post: Theater cell smash By NATALIE O’NEILL Last Updated: 6:19 AM, May 17, 2013 Posted: 2:21 AM, May 17, 2013 Silence your cellphones — or else! A theater critic got so fed up with an audience member’s mid-show texting, he smashed her cellphone — prompting her to smack him at a hot new Manhattan play, sources said. Columnist Kevin Williamson, 40, says he became a manners “vigilante” after he and ushers asked the woman several times to turn off the gadget at “Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812” in the Meatpacking District. “To the theatergoing public of New York — nay, the world — I say: “You’re welcome,’ ” he wrote on the blog The Corner yesterday. Security booted Williamson from the $175 play after he threw the phone — which repeatedly beeped and glowed — against a wall at the pop-up venue on Wednesday. But Williamson said he considers it a form of activism. “I did it to make a statement — but also I was just annoyed,” Williamson told The Post. “I go to the theater every week, and I’m used to bad behavior. But this was over the top. “These are people who are not smart enough to sit through a two-hour play.” Williamson, who writes for the National Review, claims he first politely asked the woman to stop using the phone during a press showing of the play. He told her it was distracting. “So don’t look,” she responded, according to Williamson. He then reminded her of the show’s “no-cellphones policy,” which staffers announced prior to the play, he said. Ushers even asked the woman to turn off the gadget at intermission, according to Howard Kagan, the play’s producer. “We went in and warned her,” he said. “We tried to address the problem without making a scene.” But she continued to text and to chat loudly with friends, Williamson said. That’s when he snapped — snatching the phone and tossing it toward an exit. It hit a curtain and fell to the floor, which damaged the phone, Williamson said. The woman smacked him then ran out — but the play didn’t stop. The dinner-theater-style play opens tonight in a tent-like structure at West 13th and Washington Street. The play is based on a section of the book “War and Peace” and features an electro-pop opera. The woman has not filed a police report, but she threatened to, Williamson said. Producers declined to give her name.

Remember guys, I spoke up to correct a mistake that had been made. I did not encourage anyone to take up this cause again. So, my update is in, life goes on, and it is likely to be a beautiful day. We all have a life to live.

Might I suggest, My Oh My. (what a wonderful day) as you are very Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip-A-Dee-A anyway.

Its not an Obsession, its for lack of nothing More interesting to talk about. and lets face it, the topic DOES get alot of participation, and Thats a good thing..... As for scabs, NO picking does not make them heal faster, but they do TASTE delicious !

I wonder why so many are seemingly obsessed with the "other" site? I left there with over 4,000 posts and don't look back. Picking at a sore doesn't make it heal any faster, does it? Best regards, RA1

Actually in one of DC Comics' "Imaginary Adventures of Superman" issues in the early 1970s, the story picked up with Superman at one million years old. All his friends gone, himself grey at the temples, nonetheless he still had every bit of his super-powers. In fact they had increased with age. (Not an uncommon trope in mythology.) The story line was something else. In one single comic book it followed him through the end of human civilization, end of life on earth itself ... Then Supe had to fight off two gigantic planet-size robots that had come as galactic garbage collectors to haul away the dead planet. Then, lonely and bereft, Our Hero gets the bright idea to ... Split the earth in two, re-mate the two halves with their clean insides facing out, re-sculpt it into a ball, wait around several billion years for lower evolution to recreate Eden, then fly off to some other life-bearing planet from whence he imports two humanoids to earth. They breed, nature takes its slow course ... And in the final frame, what do you know -- space and time being curved, and all -- the arc of Time has at last come back round to where Superman is once more dressed as Clark, in the Daily Planet newsroom, with Perry White yelling something, there's Jimmy Olsen, ah Lois Lois... Truly mind-bending, for its time.

I just gargled my first Bacon Scope, And then rinsed with a great deal of hope. Now my breath smells so clean, If a trifle porcine, That I've ordered some hog tallow soap.

Many did.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (CNN) -- Bare brick houses stacked one on top of another cling to the hills of Rio de Janeiro. Raw sewage trickles down the winding paths of these shanty towns, known as favelas, and in many, shootouts between drug dealing gangs and police are a daily ritual. The shanty towns are resented and feared by the rest of the city. But residents in the Santa Marta slum have transformed their community into a living, breathing canvas. With the help of two Dutch artists and a pioneering paint firm, the main square is now a kaleidoscope of color. "It gives the community life!" said Edimar Marcelinho Franco, who helped paint the 34 buildings and walked away with a professional painting title. "People who come to the favela today say, 'Wow, how pretty.' It doesn't have that image of an ugly favela," he said. The project is the brainchild of Dutch artists Dre Urhahn and Jeroen Koolhaas, who visited Rio's favelas for the first time in 2005 to shoot hip hop videos. http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/11/17/brazil.beautiful.favela/index.html
