"We were so thrilled with our relationship, we wanted to make it a formal union – you know, do it openly and in front of our friends. It was never meant to be a joke," says Fred. [...] Before leaving Tom says, "We feel we are now married in the eyes of God; we're just as married as our mothers and fathers are."

WEDNESDAY'S WEEKLY POETRY PROMTS: 6/5/24 ~ STEVE McQUEEN

STEVE McQUEEN © 2024 - G. Smith (BMI) =================== Some folks wanted a Lincoln, Some a Cadillac; Granddaddy wanted a Chrysler New Yorker, Long and shiny and black. Me? I was not yet in my tweens, And I was jealous of Steve McQueen, Running and gunning in his Bullitt green, Mustang… Yeah, Mustang.

Back in high school, Chris had an Opel, And Rodney had a yellow Chevelle, Foot on the gas, it would really haul – buns… Man it was hotter’n, well…

Chip had crisp white Vega; Scott had a two-forty Z… I got to drive Dad’s light blue Maverick – When he let me borrow the keys.

Some guys wanted a Corvette, Some a GTO, Others wanted a Firebird, Something with get-up and go. I got my license when I turned sixteen, Still so jealous of Steve McQueen, Racing and chasing in his Bullitt green, Mustang… Yeah, Mustang.

I usually drove the family wagon, Chauffeuring my sister and brothers; Fake wood siding, big as a barge – Obviously my mother’s.

My first car was a Hulk-colored Rabbit, Old, but new to me; And nothing feels like your own wheels, Rolling and riding and running free.

Alan Jackson has a fifty-five T-Bird; Johnny Cash built a Caddy one-piece at-a-time; Kathy Mattea loved her four-fifty-five, But the only car I wish was mine, Is the prettiest one that I’ve ever seen, It still makes me jealous of Steve McQueen, Flying in the sky in his Bullitt green, Mustang… Yeah, Mustang.

He may’ve jumped the fence in the Great Escape, In Le Mans, driven a Porsche; And as one of the Magnificent Seven, He even rode a horse; He might’ve been a famous actor Up on the silver screen, I’m just envious of Steve McQueen’s Muscular manly, Bullitt Green, Mustang… Yeah… Mustang… Bullitt Green, Mustang.

Robert Opel: The original 1974 Oscars streaker

Robert Opel: The original 1974 Oscars streaker

What a shame John Cena’s faux streak at the 2024 Oscars didn’t draw more interest to Robert Opel, the original 1974 Oscars streaker.

Mainly remembered now for his naked dash across the Oscars stage, Robert Opel was a photographer, speech-writer, English teacher and activist. He protested for gay rights, peace and legalised public nudity.

A friend of both Divine and John Waters, he sometimes performed with The Cockettes. And he promoted the work of Tom of Finland and Robert Mapplethorpe.

The 1974 Oscars

Streaking was quite the thing in the early seventies. People ran naked through sporting events, civic occasions, uni graduations and shopping malls. 1974 Oscars host David Niven’s initial response seemed to reference the ubiquitousness of streaking at major events.

“Well, ladies and gentlemen, that was almost bound to happen…”

While security or police ended the runs of most streakers, Robert enjoyed a brief sortie before heading backstage unmolested. Out the back, the crew found him some overalls and facilitated a press conference.

“People shouldn’t be ashamed of being nude in public,” he told reporters.

Meanwhile, onstage David Niven delivered what would become a much-quoted witticism.

“Isn’t it fascinating to think that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings?”

However, an Oscars official later claimed Niven borrowed a pen from his wife two hours before the incident to write down the ad-lib.

Robert Opel previously streaked through a local council meeting to protest laws against nude beaches. Despite lingering suspicions, he always denied that the streak was pre-arranged with the Oscars producers

After the Oscars

After the notorious 1974 incident, Robert focussed on his photography and activism. In 1976, he ran for president using the slogans “Nothing to Hide” and “Not Just Another Crooked Dick.”

He opened a gay male art studio in 1978 and became one of the first to promote Tom of Finland and Robert Mapplethorpe. He died in 1979, shot dead during an armed robbery at his studio.

Why Folks Do Not Watch the Academy Awards

I haven't watched in years but John Cena walking out on stage somewhat "butterball naked",to announce the nominee's in the "costume design" category has folks bringing up "Hollywood's Illuminati" and "Human Rituals" once again.

Even if this was a "publicity stunt" for his current movie,I think we've seen enough "stuff" from promos from last summer,to know if you would be interested in even watching it.

Mi WG, nueva dulce morada

1 de octubre de 2023

Aprovechando que tengo un ratito tranquilo hoy, me apetece contaros cómo es mi casa, la urbanización y el barrio donde vivo.

Durante los meses de julio y agosto estuve buscando piso desde España. Frankfurt es una ciudad cara y el alquiler no iba a ser menos. Vivir sola me resultaba imposible a nivel económico (y más sin saber lo que iba a cobrar...), así que encontré una WG (Wohngemeinschaft) o piso compartido a través de una inmobiliaria. Cuando lo vi por internet, pensé que mi habitación iba a ser más pequeña, pero al llegar aquí, me llevé una grata sorpresa. Así que creo que al final fue un acierto.

El día que llegué a Frankfurt conocí a Robert, que lleva viviendo en este piso varios años. A los pocos días de llegar yo, llegó un nuevo compañero, Antoine, francés, que ha venido a currar en la Opel durante un año. Y por último, Darya, bielorrusa, que va a estar solo hasta diciembre haciendo unas prácticas. La verdad es que cada uno tenemos nuestra marcha y coincidimos poco, así que vamos más bien a nuestra bola, pero hay días que charlamos un rato en la terraza si hace bueno o mientras cenamos en la sala común.

Estas son las vistas que tenemos desde la terraza 🙃

La zona en la que vivimos es muy chula. El barrio se llama Sachsenhausen y mi casa está justo en frente de la Südbahnhof, así que la comunicación con el resto de la ciudad es inmejorable; por aquí pasan tranvías, metros, S-Bahn, Regios... Y el centro está a solo 25 minutos andando, así que es una maravilla.

En la otra parte de la urbanización hay un pequeño parque para los niños, como podéis ver aquí 👇🏼

Como nuestro piso es un sexto, las vistas desde aquí son muy chulas. Se ve amanecer desde la terraza y hay noches, como la de ayer, en la que la luna iluminaba toda mi habitación... ¡Precioso!

Y hoy, aprovechando el buen tiempo, desayuno tempranero en la terraza 🤗

X-rated train surfing

X-rated train surfing

Don’t try this at home! Or anywhere else! Two young men were photographed in New York in February combining public sex with train surfing.

Scroll down for pic.

Caution: Train surfing is dangerous and potentially life-threatening. Train surfers risk death or serious injury due to falling off a moving train, electrocution by the power supply, or colliding with railway infrastructure.

Photos posted to Twitter show the men on top of a moving New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority train. The #7 train is on an elevated track near the Van Wyck Expressway in Queens.

The two men are having sex while a third loiters nearby, apparently enjoying the show.

The angry Twitter user tagged the MTA and other institutions asking, “What is the MTA doing about this?”

Not an unreasonable question. Six people died train surfing in New York in 2023.

MTA communications director Tim Minton said in a statement that train surfers should think of the workers who had to clean up the mess from train surfing accidents.

“The only thing dumber than riding on top of a subway train is dropping pants in the process.

“Those reckless clowns aren’t thinking about the mess cleaners and other transit workers will have to deal with when their stupid stunt goes tragically wrong.”
