Gay couple in new FOX Space show

For the topic of male-on-male couple in the new FOX show Virtuality, TV Guide says "Sci-Fi Goes Gay." 'Gay' has always been in 'Sci-Fi.' Come on, Xena and Gabrielle, Willow & Tara, etc. I appreciate their enthusiasm but it makes it sound corny. And the way they describe the characters... 'emotional' Manny and 'more centered' Val. It makes it sound more like the stereotypes expected of masculine and feminine. Anyhoo, the show will start out as a two-hour movie in 2009 about a 10-year mission with 12 passengers. It is true Manny and Val are the 'first gays in space.' Manny is played by Jose Pablo Cantillo and Val is played by Gene Farber. I appreciate the publicity for such a couple but FOX sci-fi shows don't ever last that long. Remember "Firefly"?

UPDATE: The two-hour pilot episode aired as a movie on June 26, 2009 but the show wasn't picked up.

Sex and the City Movie DVD Review

Yes, Yes, I know that the movie is old news and I should have seen the movie when it came out. But I was to see the movie with my ex-boyfriend and we didn't and we broke up and I ended up going to other movies with other friends. And then it was gone and then on DVD, so I rent it (inside joke intended). I expected a over-extended episode, instead got served a long long movie. I love it, it's good, but it does drag a bit. Our girls go through tired-and-true old storylines... getting dumped on the altar, being cheated on and separating, getting pregnant and thinking of cheating, but it is all served up with history and it's our girls! Carrie and Big have been through everything and the movie does speak true to their relationship and both characters, as best as they can. It is a bit predictable movie, but just put around in other orders.

For those who haven't seen it or have forgotten it, here is the basic plot: Carrie and Big pick an apartment to live with each other and plan to get married. Miranda, my favorite character, is cheated on by Steve and she separates from him and moves to another apartment. Samantha is living in California and feeling the pangs of being Smith's agent and barely see each other, with her flying to New York to see her friends and him busy at work. Before the wedding, Miranda is met by Steve and gets distraught and tells Big they are crazy for getting married. It was little but it hit him. She doesn't tell this to Carrie until six months later and starts talking to Carrie, forgive me forgive me, I didn't mean it, just like what Steve told her and doesn't see the similarities. I love Miranda, one of my favorite characters, even though this is a side of her, i don't think the movie shows her in the right light.

Anyhoo, Carrie goes through all the pains after being dumped and after that, gets an assistant, Jennifer Hudson. She is a light in the movie, even though she enters half-way in the movie and only interacts with Carrie, the movie really is about friendship between women. As for the other storylines, After her best friends get dumped, Charolette is a mess when she finds out she is pregnant for the first time and frets the worse. Samantha lusts over a hot guy next door and is tempted to cheat. What guy would make her cheat on hunky blonde blue eye sweetheart Smith who shaved his head when she went into chemo? An European hunk. Well, it doesn't matter, she doesn't cheat, which is great, I was happy that didn't happen. Somethings feel like filler like Charolette fearing jogging when pregnant and Samantha's humpy dog, but they do feel like things from the show. It is good.

There is plenty of Steve and Big, but not much of Henry, Charolette's husband and the gay friends Stanford and Anthony. They kiss on New Year's Eve and it was spoken about a lot but there wasn't ever really much build up to it. People who never seen the show, wouldn't have known they hated each other. Anyhoo, it's not Gays and the City. My 18-year-old niece never saw the show but loved the movie and cried at the end of it. In reality, this movie is the ultimate chick flick, the mother of all chick flicks, what is great great about chick flicks. DVD extras? not much, it would have been nice to have a featurette or something. Commentary? yes, at least! God!

Kevin in Str8 Kiss in "Brothers and Sisters"

TV Guide reports that on "Brothers and Sisters," sibling Kevin Walker (Matthew Rhys) will be seen kissing his sister-in-law Julia (Sarah Jane Morris). He is now happily married to Scotty. "We're all happy that Matthew got to switch it up," co-star Emily VanCamp has said. At hearing this, I don't think it is a threat to his sexual orientation. It is said that Kevin will be 'on heavy meds' and a hint that leads to the kissing, "It'll have something to do with the sperm Kevin donated last season to help Julia and brother Tommy conceive." I think it would speak true to the situation, whatever it is. Just because a gay guy kisses a woman, it doesn't mean it isn't an honest portrayal of gay people.

TV Guide mentioned GLAAD, in maybe having a problem with this, but I think a more outrage is the cover article with Robert Sean Leonard and Hugh Laurie. The cover says 'Bromantic' (which I believe is more platonic than anything), which is fine, but when asked 'Can this bromance be saved?' Leonard instantly related this with homosexuality, which makes me think he doesn't know what he is talking about. And then after Laurie tries salvaging it, Leonard dares to say the dreaded "Not that there's anything wrong with that." harking the old Seinfeld joke, where yes, they do consider there is something wrong with it. So disappointing some guys still don't get it.

The Beauty of the Male Form Part 1

[Shibue Joji above]
Now, I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and just rating anyone in their underwear is shallow but I don't want to focus on that. Many men (regardless sexual orientation) do not want to concentrate on a man's beauty, they believe that exclusively is reserved for a woman. 'bishōnen,' the concept of beauty in men, is most popular in Japan and refers to males with distinctly feminine features typically exhibited in their pop culture idols. But what I am talking about when talking about the beauty of the male form is nothing to do with feminine features but the male body can also exhibit its forms of beauty. Most women and gay men would agree with me.

Now my blog Caramelitos Varoniles has been touted by a select few from being distinctly different from other 'hot guy' blogs because it displays not only 'beefy guys' in underwear but other forms of handsomeness such as Michael Arden, Jeremy Davies, Brendan Sexton, and Kevin Rankin (above). Whereas this blog has been called grammatically incorrect. I take both as compliments. First up, I will be discussing anatomy.

[Cristiano Ronaldo above]
Many people have asked me what is the first thing I notice in a man. I don't know how to answer them. Because it depends. Sometimes it is their eyes, something its their butt. But one my favorite features in my man's anatomy is their thighs.

[Steve Sandvoss above]
What drives me crazy is those handles below the underwear line. Of course the 'treasure trail,' the bit of hair trailing under the belly button.

[Steven Strait above]
What also drives me crazy is the pecs. When they pop out like that. I also covered nipples on this blog.

[Sebastian Rulli above]
A little hair on the chest is not bad. I am not crazy about too much hair. I like a little bit of facial hair but not beards or scruffiness, I hate when stubble rubs on my skin. I love hair on forearms, and some select places but that's about it. I absolutely must mention that I don't like when guys shave their nether regions. Also, veins are awesome on the forearms and hands. I don't know if a lot of other people are digging that, I have never heard of it discussed.

I like this photo because it is a contrast between a purse, usually a female staple and a naked man. Let me talk about body type, anorexia in men is a real thing and I am not crazy about really skinny guys. there is a difference between men I think are attractive and men I will date, but I wouldn't be attracted or dating a super skinny guy or super beefy muscular guy. I do like beefy guys but I guess what I am saying is not exaggerated.

[Jamie Jewitt above]
With strength and power, which are agree-upon staples expected in masculinity, I believe there is also a vulernableness and tenderness to comes with that strength. Yes, the picture above has a somewhat stereotypical feminine aspect about it, but I think it also illustrates my point.

[Above, Cody James]
He is a good example of a strong yet vulnerable male body. Every naked body looks vulnerable, but certain naked women look strong, independent and powerful. Here the body is smooth and supple and the thighs are big, like I like them. The hair streaming from the thighs are also sexy.

I like the photo collections from Terra's The Boy, they really challenge what we think about in male beauty, pointing male models in different positions, not common when men are posing. It has been going on for about 4 years and of course has gotten lots of attention. Early porn photos and Playgirl shoots look ridiculous because they didn't know what was sexy and avoided poses that are in The Boy.


More to come when more occurs to me. Next up clothes. Just like women, sometimes men are hotter with their clothes on!

The Vice-President Candidates with Gay Marriage

Bidden says that he and Obama are for same-sex civil unions, he is for rights, medical rights, and etc. Now, he did say he is not for gay marriage because it is up to religions and groups for their definition of 'marriage.' It was a smart thing to say. He said people in love, they should get the same rights if they are homosexual or heterosexual. He did have some trouble saying heterosexual, probably he hasn't said it a lot. That is fine, most heterosexual people don't say it a lot. Palin was very very careful with her words. She said that she has friends that wouldn't agree with her decisions. She did said she was for certain rights, but her wording was beating around the bush. She certainly shows she is like most of America that has to be careful with that they say. She didn't even say the word 'gay' I think. She couldn't say she had a gay friend or gay relative. I had a feeling she had the feeling to say something, that she almost did say she had a gay friend, but she went around it. I got so mad about the feeling around this country that I broke my coat hanger.

Kenley should have been kicked out!

If Kenley gets out of the 20th century and gets to a computer and sees this, she better not leave a comment. Get over people saying shit about you, until you stop being a bitch! What a child, when she said she didn't like any of the other's designs. She also said she didn't know why people single her out. Yes, I understand that people are edited in reality shows, made to look in a specific way. But you gave them the material to work with! And I was so upset when Kenley was not kicked out. Heidi, even after Kenly backtalked to her, still is interested her. I guess her German upbringing made her skin thick. With Korto, Kenley even had the nerve to say she HAS BEEN THROUGH MORE THAN SHE DID TIMES TEN. Oooooh, if I was Korto, I would slap that bitch silly. Bitch, you grew up in Florida, not Africa during murders and war. Maybe she meant what she went through on the runway but the way I saw it was all together.

And it is confusing when the reunion will be taken place.
