Heidi Klum accused of 'fatphobia' and 'body-shaming' for buzzing plus-size 'AGT' dancer. I don't watch "America's Got Talent," but apparently the internet is crawling up Heidi's ass for fat shaming. I love a good fat-shame fight, especially if it involves a former model, so I couldn't resist taking a peek at this storm. I always have a soft-spot in my heart for FAT dancers. They always make me smile. It is not easy being a FAT dancer, but those who succeed in bringing the house down, I think they deserve just props. But I do always fear witnessing on live television cardiac arrest. I guess that tension is just part of the thrill of watching. The same is true watching FAT drag queens perform.

LOL! Thank you for the laughs. One is better than the other.

Top U.S Military Official, General Mark Milley, Apologizes for Role in Trump Photo-Op Better late than never, I suppose. General Milley should not have agreed to go in the first place, especially dressed in combat fatigues. Given how much Trump hates apologies, this should be one more prick up his sorry ass.

I saw a few late last night. Just goes to show, there's a troll war going on online. Trolls are everywhere, doing their thing. They don't stop. Board owners and members MUST stop them. Thank you OZ for paying attention to this issue. Some members may not care, but I do care. If this board fights to extinguish TROLLS, I will remain a happy member, whether you are all smiles or not.

But I want to be more clear about where I stand. Negotiations in business are not the same as managing relationships outside of business. Rarely do the makings of good friendships and lovers involve lawyers and written contracts. No one can fix a dysfunctional family member or an addicted loved one by serving him smiles 24/7 or the deal of the century. Human beings are far more complicated than that. I also don't think a business negotiation has much to do with Black Lives Matter, at least as far as this discussion goes. A social contract to end racism will not be a contract negotiated on paper (thinking big picture). Racism will most likely always exist. People have prejudices for all kinds of reasons. Getting institutional racism out of institutions is a good cause, but if it goes the way of Affirmative Action and quota markers, I can see lots of "negotiation" problems arising. Who doesn't love smiles and a peaceful environment? But what if you're dealing with a Trump, who thrives on chaos and destruction? How does one deal with a real TROLL in real life? How do you attack and extinguish evil, if you even believe that evil exists? What if you come face-to-face with a warrior adversary threatening your life? Not every human being smiles by default when confronted. Many people are miserable by default, looking for a fight. We are not pre-programed machines. The human condition is far more complicated than a business negotiation between two business entities. The world is full of angry, bitter, hateful people, and no huge number of smiling faces is going to change that. Except you've just defined the essence of competition. Show me an Olympic Gold winner who isn't happy, please. Or a business brand that put a competing brand out of business. How about an Oscar winner? Happiness means many different things to different people. Let's not get too Pollyanna here. IMO, life is much more enjoyable when there is no war to win, except competitive-minded people need a war to thrive and enjoy life. Our culture and society are currently at war on numerous fronts. People we don't personally know are bringing war to our doorsteps this very minute. If you want to win at war and survive, you better know how to fight. Hitting a warrior with smiles, no matter what type of TROLL the warrior is, may invite death. "Getting even" has been with us since Cain and Abel. Don't like it? Take your beef up with God. Much love to lookin.

Beautiful post, lookin. So nice to read words of wisdom from you once again. Again, in fairness, in Trump's "Art of the Deal," Trump does say that "both parties in a deal need to win" in order for the deal to be successful. Yes, I read that book, and one can't discount the contributions of Tony Schwartz, who is probably responsible for almost every word in that book. No matter who wrote it, you learn this logic if you attend business school. The thinking is really quite simple, logical, and practical. No one wants to come out from a negotiation feeling like a loser. Both parties (like you said, with a smile) are much better off if each feels a win.

For this very reason, I opted to stay away from Hooboy's Forum for a long time. If a Hooboy hater said he loved fucking so-and-so escort, I had to write so-and-so escort off my list of potential hires. I could not get beyond the thought of sharing sex with an escort who was also sharing sex with a Hooboy hater. The thought really turned me off. When I finally decided to join Hooboy's forum and begin posting, my list of potential escort hires endured a serious edit. The more I was turned off, the lighter the list got. When I discovered the number of SCUM escorts who made Hooboy's board their GAME, those escort names definitely got crossed off the list. In this respect, Hooboy's board helped me edit. It exposed a lot of SCUM to me. I am always only interested in spending my money on quality guys. I had no interest in the trash, or those who liked to play with trash. In order for my fantasy to work, my brain needs to believe I'm taking a chance on a quality guy. And here lies the problem with escort forums. If an escort reveals himself to be undesirable in any way, my fantasy drops DEAD. No hire. In particular, I would rather an escort keep his politics secret (among other things). I really don't want to know that he voted for Trump or sucked Doug69's cock. Escorting is mostly about fantasy and perception. Kill both, and my wallet stays closed.

No, but I think it's a thong.

I have no intention of going mad over anything. I know how to keep my brain as healthy as my body. I pick and choose the internet assholes I wish to mock and slay, and I have a damn fun time exposing the HYPOCRITES, TROLLS, and ASSHOLES.

JD sure did FORCE Daddy's hand, making Daddy's life utterly miserable. Karma is indeed sweet. One might think such heinous behavior could turn Daddy racist. I'll leave that for others to speculate.

It's an interesting hypothesis, but I have to say, I don't know one person who enjoys hiring escorts for that reason, and I'm not aware of ever meeting one. Of course, you never really know someone until the door is closed and we strip naked together. I admit my perspective on this is limited, and very biased to NYC. Here, lots of gay men aren't looking for fake love of needy boyfriends. Hiring an escort is like hiring a massage therapist: your body gets a fun workout as well as your cock and ass. What's not to love?

Well, in fairness. Daddy and Co. did award JDDaniels Escort of the Year. And the last time I looked, JD was Black. If Daddy and Co. were ranking leaders of the KKK, I sincerely doubt JD would have come within his dick's length distance to that award no matter how much money Kesslar was willing to donate. Speaking of Escort of the Year, let's talk about the fiasco that always was and the disastrous handling of it by Daddy and Co. I'm always ready to laugh more.

Brilliant. I also enjoyed the follow-up post with all the cartoons, too. My favorite, DAYS WITHOUT BEING A NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT: 0

@SexyAsianStud Beware of the controlling OLD queens. Many are HYPOCRITES. They will try to shut you up, try to get you to move your questions and interests elsewhere, and then try to denigrate your curiosity. All the while as they continually add useless and self-serving posts to this thread. Total HYPOCRITES. Succinct but well said. Made me laugh, too. A much better characterization of the TRUTH. And I suspect OZ sees and fully understands this. There are only a few drag queens here who like to exaggerate as they attempt to control others, using terms like "constant dwelling." There is no evidence of "constant dwelling" on this board. All the while their post count rises as they themselves DWELL. Total HYPOCRITES. Controlling bitches.

You can't possibly comprehend the number of Time Outs I received for saying out loud on the board, "Daddy promotes a double standard." "Daddy plays favorites." "Daddy's rules are arbitrary." Just typing the words got me the boot. And then suddenly fake usernames created by deej would appear, denying that admin decisions were arbitrary. Always made me laugh. Always confirmed the place was a pitiful mess run by incompetents. Every time deej tried to put out a fire, his fake usernames would appear. They were as obvious to me as the sky is blue. Normally, escorts could get away with anything, certainly more nasty stuff that other members. Deej, that raging, arrogant asshole prick, would actually argue why escorts were allowed more than one username in the TOS. In the meantime, certain escorts LOVED playing the role of TROLL. Certain escorts used their multiple username allowance to trash other escorts and other members. Clever, devious escorts weaponized the board privilege to their competitive advantage, or they used the privilege to put a member they did not like in his place. IT WAS ALL ONE BIG GAME to some. I was absolutely convinced that admin, including Daddy, truly enjoyed the cat fights themselves and wanted that disruptive board shit to continue. I love to take a sachet down memory lane. I love kicking dirt back into those nasty bitches faces. When playing in a sandbox, that's what a drag queen does when she's confronted by another cunty drag queen. Take that you bitches! And fuck you to the pussy girls who try to shut you up.

I received another surprise email today from a second famous organization that I have supported for decades. I love seeing when my donation money is well spent. Such smart behavior, superior business decisions that I agree with, always encourage me to donate more. This is a lesson Daddy will never learn. ICP Statement of Action Jun 09, 2020 Dear ICP Community, ICP was founded on the principles of concerned photography, the belief that imagery has the power to educate and change the world. It is unacceptable that systemic racism, injustice, and violence towards people of color have continued to endure in our nation and around the world. We stand in solidarity with Black communities and everyone who is working toward a more just future, and we believe that Black lives matter. As a center for photography, we will always emphasize the unique role of images as catalysts for social change. Images and words are important tools in the fight for justice. Actions are also essential. We recognize the significance of our position as an organization that educates imagemakers and photojournalists, and that exhibits and collects the work of visual authors. ICP’s Vision and Justice Working Group is an internal, cross-departmental team of ICP employees. Inspired by initiatives to address long-standing disparities of power in the field of photography and the nonprofit arts sector, the group has been meeting since 2018 and explores internal and external strategies that deepen ICP’s commitment to equity, access, and inclusion. The Vision and Justice Working Group was launched as part of ICP's participation in Race Forward's Racial Equity in the Arts Innovation Lab, a yearlong training program to increase racial equity in New York City's arts and cultural sector. ICP recognizes that we have urgent and further work to do and as a next step, ICP will provide equity training for all staff members and create a budget for further professional development opportunities around this work. ICP is also launching a diversity, equity and inclusion initiative to examine organizational structures and hiring practices to work toward increased diversity in our staff, student, and faculty communities. Our Trustees will redouble their efforts toward achieving greater Trustee diversity. To inform and guide this initiative, ICP will also establish an external Advisory Council, including Black artists, educators, scholars and leaders, with the goal of creating enduring and significant institutional change. In the next four weeks, ICP will convene a public conversation to examine emerging issues in photojournalism around topics including protection of protestor safety, privacy, consent, minimization of harm, facial recognition, metadata and freedom of expression in showing images of protest. On March 20, we launched our #ICPConcerned initiative to document the global pandemic by encouraging people from around the world to share their experiences of COVID-19. In the past two weeks, it has evolved into a forum for images of protest and the Black Lives Matter movement. When we reopen our center, we will feature an exhibition showcasing this work. Throughout our 46 years, ICP’s mission of concerned photography has informed our exhibitions, education and community programs. We have sought to empower imagemakers to use visual imagery as a powerful tool in the fight against social injustice for all peoples. We will continue to uplift and amplify Black voices, stories and images, listen and learn, and use our voice and our institution to promote positive social change. Best regards, Mark Lubell Executive Director

Ugly, miserable gay guys have always existed. How else could "Boys In The Band" have given birth? In theater as a young person, I remember many gay, older assholes, always trying to paw me with their aggressive, secretly intoxicated, cigarette-smelling hands. I always thought these guys were GROSS and PATHETIC, wearing their lust as if they were entitled to touch anything they desired. I wanted no part of this ugly group of men. Their behavior made me sick. I will never forget the first time I encountered Hooboy's forum in the early 2000's, which was a linked page away from the reviews. Five minutes of reading on that board was all I needed to run from that gay community of self-hating cannibals. I had never experienced such hatred before. I was ashamed of those guys. I specifically wrote Hooboy, telling him he needed to control the tone of his board. And when Daddy took over, I wrote him telling him the same thing. It took a long time before Daddy would pay attention to the responsibility of moderation. There were many "meltdowns" (the word used for temporary board closures) before Daddy had the courage to begin cleaning house. Admin there was always afraid of the Free-Speech warriors, who would complain endlessly if their posts were tampered with. I thought of them as screaming-pussy-trolls. I kept a list of their usernames to remind me who to ignore. The "ignore" feature had not been invented yet. Hooboy's Forum was a trend setter, a first of its kind. Hooboy was a celebrity of sorts, a well known radio personality doing the gay escort review thing on the DL. His employment stature gave him instant credibility. There was no other place for like-minded gay men to assemble. Hooboy had a talent for attracting people to him. Daddy never had that talent. You don't know "domination" until you experience the troll meltdowns of the early 2000's. Daddy's board today is the Garden of Eden by comparison. "Dominate" is a relative perception. The bottom line is: moderating a community forum online is no easy task, especially if you have very poor management skills. Moderation on that board has always been an issue. They simply have to clue how to keep the board civil and control the influx of TROLLS. In this respect, Daddy is a TOTAL FAILURE.

There's always been an ebb and flow over there. Racism on that board has reared its ugly head plenty of times. In older days, Daddy was smarter, more professional, or perhaps more cautious. I don't remember him exposing too many personal opinions on controversial topics. He learned to simply close threads, which is the appropriate professional behavior for a well-moderated board. Steven Kesslar writes beautifully how Hooboy's board could build a career in escorting, without one penny of overhead expense. I always cautioned escorts to keep their politics out of public view. Politics and religion are two subjects that have the power to kill a business. Business 101: never surrender your power to others. There is expert reason, plenty of research data, why conventional wisdom instructs business owners to SHUT UP when public discussion on controversial topics can hurt us financially. You never should want to turn-off a potential customer. Unfortunately, social media and narcissism makes that more difficult to accomplish these days. Some queens can't ever keep their mouths shut. While other queens thrive on being self-destructive. I remember in the mid-2000's there was a red-neck Southern hottie posting on Hooboy. He had a Kip Knoll look and a pretty Caucasian cut cock. He could have been gay for pay. He revealed himself to be a bonafide racist. Often sounded like a KKK member, repulsed at the idea of sucking a Black client's cock. Refused to ever book one. He and I emailed privately, briefly. I often laughed at him without his knowing. I fantasized about tying him up and blindfolding him, secretly forcing him to take Black cock in his mouth while I fucked his pretty White ass relentlessly. I love a good interracial fantasy, especially one where I convert a racist, making him beg for more Black cock. I tried my best to educate the punk on his diseased brain, but he was a tough nut to crack. He eventually left the board during one of my Time Outs, and his email went dead. All escorts and members should be appalled by Daddy's behavior. Unfortunately, many escorts and clients are racist themselves. Stripping Daddy of his gatekeeper power will not end racism in the industry. But it will sure teach a great lesson that Daddy needs to learn. Escorts and clients, it's time to get WOKE.

Absolutely correct. Readers have a responsibility to NOT project their own biased assumptions onto someone else. Pulling assumed word meanings out of one's ass and trying to ascribe false intent onto others with those words is classic TROLL behavior. IMO, TROLLS can go fuck themselves, along with Daddy.

That's pretty accurate. I'm not Jewish either, but I know a little Hebrew and Yiddish. I have many Jewish friends whom I adore, and they often talk about the Goyim, in loving terms. The word can also have derogatory connotation. Intent matters.

"I’ve always cherished Washington’s luminous monuments. So it was excruciating this past week to see the chucklehead who has waged war on our institutions, undermined our laws and values, stoked division at every turn, blundering around defiling the monuments that symbolize the best about America." I'm a bit delayed on my reading so I missed Sunday's Maureen Dowd Op-Ed. Today, several news anchors referenced it. I finally got to read it tonight, and I recommend it to everyone interested in BLM. Unfortunately, conservatives seem to hate Maureen, and that's too bad. She often speaks the truth, and too many Republican voters don't want to hear the truth. Bonfire of Trump’s Vanity - George Floyd. Say his name.

I always hear what you are saying, but some people here misconstrue the meaning of "gently making fun."

Yoda-speak aside, before one judges another man's worth, it helps if you have access to all his bank records, asset information, and financial statements.

This arrogant bitch had the nerve to carry daddy's prop bible in her $1,540 MaxMara handbag, used for Trump's insane photo-op in front of St. John's Church. What a way to make your father and his ignorant followers proud. I know a lot of people have difficulty with our "cancel culture." It is a byproduct of social media, perhaps an unfair, ugly side-effect. First of all, I can't believe a university invited Ivanka Trump to give a commencement speech. Shame on them for not securing someone more inspiring. I happen to love when famous people I dislike get CANCELLED. I'm hoping the entire Trump family of businesses are CANCELLED, and every family member gets to do a perp walk on their way to jail. So naturally I was thrilled to hear that Wichita State University Tech pulled Ivanka from their roster. (I'm guessing her contract protected her fee in face of possible cancellation. If she's learned anything, she's learned contracts from her father.) One might think the gays at Daddy's would get WOKE and CANCEL him, too. Wichita State University Dumps Ivanka "Wichita State University Tech pulled Ms. Trump’s commencement speech after students and faculty members condemned the Trump administration’s response to protests."

Clearly you failed. In all the years of reading your posts, not once have you made me laugh. I never mentioned the word "wealthy" on this thread. You pulled the word out from your ass. I never discuss money in public in my real life, but as RH, I have no filters. Longtime readers know this. The beauty of anonymity: it protects my business. I wonder what that amount is? I guess that depends on how you feel having a coarse Jew-fro brush up against your delicate goyim skin. Or how you feel about the smell of chemical hair relaxer as you shower with him.
