MOOD BOARD

Can it really be Monday again??? After the Pride Month I had and then July 4th festivities...it was a long overdue lazy weekend, and one much need. So today it's all about pink!!!! One of my favorite colors and a great mood lifter. And real men wear pink. I have yet met a man who didn't look good wearing pink. I have been rocking a pair of pink pants this summer and love them....so think pink today!!!!!

Yes...I may want this suit, and wear it as shown damn it.

Over the years, being on the seaside has changed somewhat for me. I was invited this coming weekend to my friends Doug and his partner's home, who used to live in New Hope, but moved to Delaware close to Rehoboth Beach, about two years ago. Doug is the one who did my life portraits for an art show some time ago. It got me to thinking about how the beach experience has changed. While I mostly experience Rehoboth Beach and P-Town now, they are completely different feeling from a regular ole seaside locale from my youth. Currently it's about relaxing on the beach, enjoying cock-a-tails, and enjoy the many, many sights of nearly naked, or yes naked men!!! But I remember well my youth visits to the beach. The smell of the air, the amusements rides, the skee ball (I could play for hours) and pigging out on the boardwalk pizza... and who doesn't love the seaside floss and French fries? I can remember my grandmother and I went every year to Ocean City Maryland, and she always took me to the carousel for a ride or two. And the candy floss always came back to the hotel with us. Since I go to mostly gay destination beaches now, many of these things don't exit there, but rest assure next week when I head to Slaughter Beach, a very natural, nature beach,  I'm getting my host to take me into Rehoboth to enjoy the amusements again, play the skee ball, and get an extra-large order of Thrasher Fries, the best... and maybe even candy floss or taffy. As gay as Rehoboth can be, it's nice to know they have kept the traditional seaside pleasures going strong. These kids these days don't know what their missing. Either way, I hope to be riding something this weekend! Do you have fond beach memories?

After a whirlwind in Ptown, then up at the Woods, it was much needed weekend to rest and relax, especially since the weather was a wee tad warm. Friends here were a bit excited to be meeting the Lumbersexual, who even to my surprise, texted two weeks ago and wanted to come up for a visit. A very nice visit was had and yesterday my friends and he seemed to get along just fine. Some of them always get a bit nervous around bi-guys, but why, I haven't a clue. Now, everyone got along after the drinks were served, and no, he didn't stay in the spare room as planned. I don't know how that happened? And the Mother was no help with her 1001 questions. Can you say Debbie Novotny? I was most definitely in a midsummer state of mind. Or it was the Pimm's of yesterday. Nothing says summer like water, Pimm's and outdoor debauchery. Enjoy the delights of summer.
