jennajameson

@Jennajameson. I started following Jenna a few weeks ago. I stopped following her today.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that she was not that interesting, after all she has built her fortune & fame on fucking. Nothing wrong with that. Have not seen much or her work but I am sure it's great. She is a mother of twins, kinda boring and immature. Trips to Vegas to party without her babies and then tweeting to rid guilt when she gets home. She should follow @nicolerichie. Nicole has adapted very well with motherhood, remained famous and a down to earth mature 28 yr old.

Where is Watermelon?

Watermelon had been a fixture on Wreck Beach for years selling juicy watermelon and fresh baked cookies and bread. She is an activist arrested several times and no longer a vendor on Wreck Beach. Does anyone know the whereabouts of Watermelon?

Paris Hilton is done...NEXT!

Paris Hilton has been the perfect 'Media Whore' for over 5 years now. First, the sex tape & then the Simple Life, followed by anything her management team thought could make them money. Paris would like us to believe she is a staunch business women with a GED. She is simply a brand who has no focus. We got a bad record, hair extensions, beauty products, shoes, hand bags, a collection of straight to dvd movies, watches and other items that all ended up in dollar bins.

Paris has done a lot of things but she is good at none of them. She can't sing, she can't act and she can't even walk properly in her own shoes. When she does attempt to market her products, she only ends up getting made fun of. Today she is looking for a BFF for the 4th time, so she can't even find a friend.

Look at her website www.parishilton.com, it is sloppy and outdated with latest updates are from 2006. On twitter the most famous blond in the world (Paris once claimed) has only 365,000 followers compared to Nicole Richie (555,000) & Samantha Ronson (766,000)...burn.

@babygirlparis your 15 minutes are up and world is breathing a sigh of relief. Now you can go and do all that charity and volunteer work you have been lying to the the media about. Rwanda is calling.

Worst Bathroom award goes to...

Blenz Coffee @ Davie & Bute.

I have recently switched my blogging activity to a new coffee shop...Blenz. I have been here three days now and had to use the washroom today. I had to shit my pants instead.

There is no excuse out there as a business owner to have such a disgusting, unsanitary and health risks as this.

It had no soap, a broken toilet seat, no mirror, a broken lock, burn holes on the toilet seat and dirty heroin needles on the floor.

Hey Blenz, fix your shitter or we are calling the Department of Health.

Let the Ryan Reynolds Phenomenon begin!

Rex is good.

D lister Simon Rex has paired up with some B lister for a new pilot about his struggle to find a career and fame in La La Land. Because Paris Hilton's name was attached to it, I initially expected it to not be watchable, but I was wrong. This features some of Paris' best 'acting'. She has comedic abilities and delivers where she is supposed to. Absent are the annoying whining, baby taught and dizzy blond persona's. This is likely the real Paris.

I still think Simon Rex is hot in a dirty kind of way and he does a good job as well. Others in the pilot include Lance Bass and Jaime Pressly. It's Curb your enthusiasm-ish being loosely based on the characters and you should watch it here.

Davie Street Skater Lad!?

I have seen him four times this month and he is hot. Short brown hair, tiny plugs, always wearing jeans and a beautiful face and smile. He's a real skater and I don't care if he's gay or not, but be on the look out for this hottie, take a picture and send it to me ...ok.

What are you doing?


What is Twitter? I signed up and began following celebrities or people that I didn't know, but if they were gonna air their dirty laundry I am interested. I soon found myself following Nicole Richie, Boy George and Oprah.

Twiiter has no friend requests, or no acceptance of friends. You essentially pick the people you want to follow and that's it. And people fight and bitch at each other. Its kinda like throwing a bunch of people in a room and watching their thoughts, choosing only the people you want. Twitter is a new cluster fuck of good in the social networking tools. Its personal and its business. Another arena for celebrities to market their shit and a way for Jane Doe in Newfoundland to become famous for 15 minutes. A social media marketing tool of brilliance...for now.

What are you doing? elliottpeters@ theboygeorge how was jail?

Brilliant Publicity!


Janet Jackson did it with her 'wardrobe malfunction' and Bruno had 'technical difficulties" during his circus entrance to present an award at Sunday's MTV Movie awards. Bruno, is the fictional charachter played by Sasha Baron Cohen in the movie Bruno, a movie a bout a flamboyant gay fashion reporter. He is dressed as a bare assed angel tied to cables and carefully lowered into the audience and then directly onto Eminens face. Eminem yelled to his 'people' to have Bruno's ass removed from his face and they moved quickly, roughed Bruno up a bit and left the awards show in a hissy fit. It was pretty outrageous and will create an excellent publicity for his new Movie Bruno. No one will be talking about Eminens performance earlier in the evening, they will just be talking about how he got tea bagged and left the awards show. That may help him sell some albums. The video has been posted and removed on youtube likely because it contains nudity but not to fear it's available at www.thebrunomovie.com the movie's promotional/homepage...Brilliant.

Rodney's

We went to Rodney's in Yaletown with a friend on Friday for some Oysters and good times. I love this place. It was bustling with a mixed friendly crowd. It felt a little like a bar in the Maritimes. The best part is the all men servers and bartenders: they are cute, efficient and sarcastic.

Peter Breeze draws a CROWD

I attended Peter Breeze's CROWD party on Friday. He left directions on his voice mail "in Gastown, turn down this alley, look for a door on the right with a 'C' on it." We found it and entered. A man greeting us at the door asked if we were here to see Peter and we said yes. He ushered us to the cover girl. She gave us a brief run down and took our money. She pulled a heavy blanket that covered the door to enter, we ducked and went in. Once inside, I immediately felt that being double fisted with doubles should be the plan. This place had three stories, no windows, one bathroom, minimal heat, a large and brilliantly lit dance floor and one Peter Breeze - flaunting about in cut off jean shorts, a wife beater, sunglasses and a brown fur wrap. I had fun, left at one and had a hot dog and bun.

Please Stop!

If you are a man and do not do drag or broadcast the news you should not be wearing make up. There is a disturbing trend happening where men are wearing foundation, eye liner and blush. I saw two people today dressed in normal street clothes with caked on make up. It's a hideous trend and needs to stop. You may think you look flawless in the mirror when you leave the house but, in the daytime sun, you look like shit.

Bikram Yoga is HOT

After carefully removing my Lululemon label from my yoga mat, I ventured to my first Bikram Yoga class in Vancouver. If you have not yet tried Bikram Yoga, I highly recommend it and recommend you go to 2 classes before you make your final judgement. If you just do the practice once and form an opinion you may not want to return. The more you practice the easier it is and the better you feel. The benefits from this form of yoga are endless. The studio is quite large with numerous classes throughout the day.

Bikram Yoga Vancouver has two locations, the West End and Kitsilano.

Check them out then sweat it out.

Kanye West talks about the Rainbow

" ... I'm doing a blog right now where I've been collecting all of the freshest stuff that's rainbows — Denver Nuggets jerseys, BAPE shoes, Nikes with rainbows on 'em — and saying, "Man I think as straight men we need to take the rainbow back because it's fresh." It looks fresh. I just think that because stereotypically gay people got such good like style that they were smart enough to take a fresh-ass logo like the rainbow and say that it's gonna be theirs. But I was like "Man I think we need to have the rainbow" — the idea of colors , life and colors and stuff, I mean how is that a gay thing? Colors? Having a lot of colors is gay?"

How do you spell Hypocrite? L-U-L-U-L-E-M-O-N

For the past 10 yrs Lululemon has been unfortunately making it's mark on the planet. They are corporate giants no better than an oil and gas outfit or a mink farm. 

When they first appeared, they had everyone fooled. Yoga was becoming more popular and a yoga focused company from Vancouver became the new fruit smoothy. They were Canadian, encouraged recycling, teeth flossing and making healthy lifestyle choices.

Fast Forward 10 yrs and you have a company who still focuses their marketing activities around promoting a healthy lifestyle that respects the environment and the people who live in it. What most people don't know is that they have moved their production to South East Asia sweat factories. 

Although they still encourage recycling, being good to our earth and treating others with respect they are doing just the opposite in choosing to have their labour contracted to SE Asia. They are taking advantage of inexpensive child labor, polluting the environment and making a fortune doing it. In making the decision to have production in Asia they had to develop a PR response in case someone asks them about their decisions, like I did. I got the following generic response;

"We work hard to remain true to our manifesto and beliefs in all areas of our company. We are a yoga inspired athletic clothing company, committed to manufacturing and designing garments that can be made and worn in good conscience"

I am sure the consumers would feel 'good conscience' knowing their $85 yoga shorts were made by a young girl who works long hours and lives in a shanty shack with the other girls. The factories the garments are made in have no or limited environmental regulations in turn polluting our environment.

In addition, LuLulemon became red faced after being caught in a lie regarding clothing made out of Seaweed, but that is another story for another blog entry.

It appears that what is not seen or heard in Canada is irrelevant to treating our environment and the people that live in it with respect.

I encourage you to rethink purchasing anything from Lululemon not only for the reasons mentioned above but for the simple fact that their clothes have to be one of the worst fashion fuck ups of the decade. 

The Gap and many others have their clothing made in sweat shops as well, however, their brands are not shaped around health, the environment and being a better person.

Dance, Sing, Floss and Travel but do it without Lululemon, after all we have been doing it without them for years.

Paula Abdrool

Paula wonders why people speculate that she is drunk or on drugs all the time. If you watched the Grammy's last night you would have seen a slurring and hideously exposed Paula. The only thing missing from this piece of clutter is the drool.

State of Mind

There is a store called State of Mind on Davie Street who's owner/stylist is bat shit crazy and I love it.

I visited the store about 4 years ago and the experience was one I will never forget. Linda is a bald lesbian and stylist. Although, she has a store on retail busy Davie Street, she will yell at you if you walk into her store and demand who told you about it. After yelling at me she 'complimented' me on my style and told me that as a gay man I did not 'look' gay. Well thanks Linda! I managed to escape without buying anything.


Other people I have met in Vancouver that have experienced Linda have all different sorts of bad experiences from being told "you have horrible fashion sense, get the fuck out of my store" to "you are wearing Lululemon and for that I can not have you in my store". I agree Lululemon is a complete disaster on all fronts.

I fully recommend visiting her and seeing this crazy bitch in action, although sometimes she has the door blocked off so nobody can get in. She has styled stars like Bruce Willis and Tegan & Sara and specializes in men's fashion.

If you do want to spend a fortune and be styled by Linda call ahead and make an appointment. She will lock the store, strip you down to your underwear and style you, not allowing you to look in the mirror until she is complete. She has been in business for 10 yrs so she must be doing something right.

State of Mind is located at 1100 Davie St in the West End. 604.682.7116

Holigay in Puerto Vallarta


I recently took a week vacation or Holigay as I like to call it to Puerto Vallarta. It was very enjoyable. I wanted to mention one single bar that became my best friend. Apaches. It's a small quaint lounge owned and operated by Marianne from Vancouver. Her partner Andrika tends bar and has a personality that will make you love her immediately. After one week I felt I had known her for years. Their drinks are strong and delicious just like the server Freddy. The menu is of varied choices and it's really tasty. Your drinks can be enjoyed listening to everything from the Supremes to Amy Winehouse to the Jackson 5, playing to the crowd that fills this spot nightly. They have a bistro next door to the lounge which serves a full menu, it's cozy and a nice place to be.

It's small, exceptional, always busy and frequented by gay and straight alike. Next time you are in PV, please check it out, it will make your bum hum! I can't wait to return.
