Why Rickie? Why?

When I was a junior in high school, "My So-Called Life" premiered. The show blew my repressed self-loathing little teenage mind. It felt so dramatic, so real, and so awesome. And despite the fact that the "gay kid" on the show was a giant eye-liner wearing homo, I felt like I finally saw a gay teenager on television that I could identify with.



That character (Enrique "Rickie" Vasquez) was played brilliantly by Wilson Cruz. He brought an impressive weight, depth, and sensitivity to the performance...a performance that continues to amaze me every time I watch it on DVD (which is quite often).

It's truly a disgrace that Hollywood hasn't found another breakout role for Wilson. A part that goes beyond the been there, done that gay-that-is-wise-beyond-his-years character that Wilson has played deftly on both "The West Wing" and "Party of Five."

I understand that times have been tough for this incredible actor.

But taking a bit part as one of Drew Barrymore's eye-rolling, limp wristed homo office mates in what is sure to go down as one of the WORST chick flicks of the 2000s (aka: "He's Just Not That Into You")?



Dude. That is SO not cool.

Duh.

If you live in California, please vote NO on PROP 8.



That is all.

I've been a very bad blogger. For the month of February, I promise to be full of HomoShame.

But for today, all you get is this fancy retro old school ad for Ovaltine...

GURL! PUT YOUR RECORDS ON! -- SONG #20

Dude. The following video makes me so happy in my special areas that I am at a total loss for words.

(Well, that and as you can tell, I've been totally lazy about bloggin lately.)

Enjoy.

How can a post about that stupid 2 girls and a cup video give me HOMOSHAME?

The answer is simple really...



Thank you Love B. Scott. Thank you.

GURL! PUT YOUR RECORDS ON! -- SONG #19

You know those songs that are such train wrecks that they inexplicably veer back towards being one of the best songs ever recorded?

Yeah, well...this isn't one of them...



MERRY CHRISMUKKAH EVERYONE!

(Boston + Clay Aiken) / Aspie Girl = Love

Frankly, I've been a bit lazy with this whole blogging thing. I couldn't even tell you why. I just haven't been motivated to write anything in a long time (well, at least not until Rupert Everett decided to dress up in ladies' clothes).

And since I haven't been up for writing anything, this blog has turned into a portal for my favorite You Tube videos.

Sometimes, when I close my eyes and dream, I imagine what a television station would look like if it was under my control. My guess is that it would look something like the series of YouTube clips that I post on a semi-weekly basis.

So yeah...essentially all that garbage I just wrote is a preface to the introduciton of my latest You Tube favorite. This video may be the best video that I have ever seen. Like ever.

Wanna know more?

Well, it's a montage of Clay Aiken clips put to the tune of Boston's "More Than A Feeling," by YouTube sensation/genius - Aspie Girl.

(For those not in the know, Aspie Girl is a 41 year old female who has autism. Her interest is making montages and public awareness for autistic spectrum disorders.)

I'm well aware that I could get into big trouble for posting this clip, mentioning Clay Aiken, and discussing Aspie Girl all in the span of one sentence. But here's the truth...Aspie Girl is some kind of genius. And I'm not just doing the sarcastic hipster thing here either.

Aspie Girl just is.

I mean...look at this...



Truly exceptional. Right?


The only thing more exceptional than the montage above?

Is the montage below.

This particular high concept art piece is entitled "Clay's Tour Of The Day." It features a mixture of various Clay Aiken clips, highlights from the film "Night at the Museum," and a choice dance remix of the 4 Non Blonde's hit "What's Going On."



Clay Aiken has never been so hypnotically unappealing, eh?

The Next Unacceptable Thing

Remember when Rupert Everett was hot?

I know it was a ways away...back in his "I'm just that British poofter from My Best Friend's Wedding" days...



He was so charming. So handsome. So British.

After that...well, he became best friends with Madonna and mucked it all up.

During the aforementioned Madonna period, my older sister was living in London. And one day, she called me up all excited, because she got tickets to see Rupert in a new revival of a Tennessee Williams play.

But then...the sister saw the play. And apparently, fell asleep. In the play, Rupert played a very old lady. And was bad at it. According to the sister, the whole thing took "sucking" to a new level. And this is coming from a woman who say Spiceworld. In the theaters.

The older sister's Rupert Everett disillusionment soon led to my own unnecessarily vile hatred of his wicked ways.

So needless to say that when I discovered that Rupert would be dressing up like an old lady for the newly released UK movie, St. Trinian's, I got so full of rage that wanted to hit someone.

Because seriously...this...



...is not a look anyone should endure.

Unless their name is Robin Williams.

I mean...come on dude...



The whole "awful gay British homo dresses up like a school marm to make the people fall in love with him again" thing feels about as old as...well...as old as YOU.

So next time Rupert, just say no. It won't make me hate you any less...but it wouldn't hurt.

GURL! PUT YOUR RECORDS ON! -- SONG #18

I turn 30 in less than four months.

And it's already starting to freak me out a little bit.

But after watching this truly exceptional disco medley...



...I might be looking forward to it. Just a little bit.

GURL! PUT YOUR RECORDS ON! -- SONG #17

Meet Same Difference.

They are a brother/sister singing duo that is currently still in the running towards becoming the new X Factor Winner (Simon Cowell's UK variation of American Idol).

They are the happiest little performers that you will ever see.



It's all oh so very very gay.

You Know You're a Homo...

...when you send your closest friends an email about your realization that you have the same cell phone as Britney Spears.



Sometimes I want to bitch slap myself.

This is one of those times.

I Hate That I Love Them

As my friend Grant put it...



...those two should just get a room.

Strangely Adorable

The video that follows is adorable and horrifying at the same time...



...if you replaced Hannah Montana with Irene Cara's "Flashdance (What a Feeling)" and replace the leotard onesies with my mom's old silk nightgowns...you'd have a horrifyingly accurate depiction of my childhood.

Thanks Asan!

GURL! PUT YOUR RECORDS ON! -- SONG #16

Sometimes...when I have nothing better to do...I dream of falling in love with a musician. And then inspiring said musician into writing beautiful twee pop songs about our love and how I am the light in his life.



Not that I have a specific Swedish popstar in mind or anything.

But I do.

And his name Jens Lekman.
