Rusty McCann, a 47-year old Vegas rentbear, wrote for Salon about his experiences and how, while he may not be everyone’s type, he’s also working with a completely underserved market. (I’ve been saying that for years now.) I’m slightly wary of him, because he’s apparently developing his own reality show and this may just be some kind of early push for that, but at the same time I’m always happy to read the writings of male escorts who aren’t hairless twinks.
Brothel ads are not protected by the First Amendment even in Nevada counties where brothels are legal.
Bravo’s developing a TV series about male escorts. Presumably, it being Bravo, it will be considerably gayer than Hung.
“Prostitution is not the world’s oldest profession — grave robbing is.” (from a fascinating article about the 20th anniversary of the big heist at the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum)
Kristin Hersh’s new album is also going to be a book and hoo-wee am I excited.
Emily Gould, who is perhaps not quite as hoity-toity as I may have previously indicated, wrote this week about “Carrie Anne,” one of my favorite British Invasion songs (and one that featured on a very early Mixtape For Hookers.) The Hollies were really good for a while there, before they got all druggy and started making crap like “Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress,” although I guess the same could be said for most bands of that era. (Actually, I wonder if my lifelong crush on the Dave Clark Five has to do with the fact that they broke up before this happened.)
The Economist on the popularity of Scandinavian crime fiction.
Like the rest of the world, I can’t resist a good newscaster flipout.
Finally, the Russian-American battle over Chatroulette. Out of psychotic boredom yesterday I tried Bearchatroulette. Which was stupid, if you were wondering.
