NAKED, BUT NOT AFRAID

Lately I seem to be smitten with Jake Nodar. 

One night it happened. I was on my way to BBC...I was going up the channels when I happened upon a God! The remote stopped on a show called Naked and Afraid. Apparently two people go into a rough locale, with a small bag of supplies and then stripped buck ass naked and then dropped off to rough it for like 20 some days. The guy on the show I saw was Jake Nodar. I thought, am I really going to watch this??? Yeah yes I did. It wasn't till the show was over I tried to google him and found myself further smitten with the perfect guy.

I'd be looking at dat ass too!

Jake is a naturalist, adventurer, activist, environmentalist and horse-trainer... just some of the words to describe Jake Nodar. Jake was born in Baltimore, Maryland, his  religious family consisting of an older brother and one younger brother and two younger sisters, to his German/Russian mother and Irish/Cuban father. Exposure to the outdoors was instilled in him at an early age.  Having an obsession with horses since childhood, when he moved with his parents to a small farm when he was 18 it was only natural that the first thing Jake would do was get a horse. After purchasing his first horse, he began volunteering at a rescue where they hired him on as farm manager, overseeing 45-60 abused and neglected horses, and his lifelong career with horses began. Jake enrolled in a horse training school in western Colorado, where after graduating, he started his business, primarily working with young horses and horses with behavioral issues. Over the past 17 years, he has started hundreds of young horses under saddle, trained with Olympic riders, and have trained and competed in numerous disciplines, both English and western. 

Although Jake never hid the fact that he was gay, he had a very public coming out during the taping of the Out of The Wildl: The Alaska Experiment,  when the producers had him read a personal letter to his remaining team mates letting them know that the rugged hunter, and one of the final contestants, who survived the whole journey was gay.  Soon after Jake became the first openly gay male cast member to be featured on the Discovery Channel's hit series "Naked And Afraid" Growing up in a religious family and coming out at 20,  he took solace in watching Ellen DeGeneres as that was his only connection to the gay community. Ellen's public coming out helped Jake stay true to himself and he hopes to help pay it forward by helping with gay youth, specifically The Trevor Project.

To  gay men who make it a habit of looking down on/making fun of feminine gay men, let me first apologize. I didn’t realize it was so hard to be masculine and gay at the same time. All because you blend in with the rest of the society and are able to hide and even deny your sexuality when it conveniences you.All sarcasm aside, what I’m definitely not going to apologize for is their skewered belief that sparkly, flamboyant gay men make other “normal” gay men look bad. This is why I am so smitten with Jake. He is definitely more masculine then me, most would call him masculine.But Jake has no problem embracing a fem side either and camping it up. 

It's the one thing I find even more attractive about him. Most masculine guys even gay, I find have no sense of humor or fun, let alone camp it up. Our dear Cali Boi is another side of beef who was even in the service, does landscaping and personal training...and let me tell you, he has no problem camping it up either, and acting a big girl. Yes baby, you tickle me too. I mean, who would pass up a afternoon with Jake? Not I. Hell, if he wants to rough it...I'll join him.
I glamp after all bitches!

GERITOL

It is with heartbreaking news that we mourn the loss of our beloved Geritol Kane here in New Hope and a Raven Resort staple . While at the gay pride festivities on Sunday a good friend called to tell me the sad news. Our condolences are with Geritol’s family, and the rest of New Hope, and everyone who had the privilege to know him. Geritol brought life and joy, on-stage and off, and we know he will always be a light on our community. Geritol was a crazy queen, always a cut up... and always ready to do a show for some LBGT related cause no matter how busy, and one of the last of true New Hope drag legends. “When you lose someone you love, you gain an angel you know.” She'll always be in our hearts, and the towns.

EUPHORIA

Boy, what a weekend!!!!! 

If you guessed the Mistress's ass was dragging a foot in the ground today, you'd be right. This post will include many photos that speak for themselves. I was originally not keen on going, because I knew the crowds would be insane....I think I heard over 5 million showed up. Talk about a HUGE represent!!!!!!! The bars were not actually as bad as could have been, but the dance clubs were insanely packed, but who am I to complain about being bumped and grinded!!!!! One guy I danced with I was told even hauled my junk out!!! Don't remember. But glad I went now. 1- I will probably never get to have that experience again for such a milestone. There was a few times I got emotional, being at Stonewall, the happy feeling, the sad feelings of the past, and again at the parade, just seeing all parts of the community for once embracing and accepting each other. Why doesn't this only happen at Gay Pride Month?!?!?!  2- I got to meet and talk to people from all over the globe, and even danced with a few at the clubs.  3- It felt to me like gay heaven, complete euphoria. The whole city felt gay to me..all parts of the city had flags and illuminated lights. And 4- I finally got to see Mother Madge, even though I was pretty spent by time she came on, but luckily got a 16th wind. At her age, she didn't disappoint. In some respects it was like all my gayness, like when I came out, my gay friends, Madonna, who was my gay hero and icon at the time, all coincided with the history of the gay past to make for the perfect weekend all in the same place,  at the same time. It will be a good memory. 

 Stonewll Inn

We tasted the rainbow!!!! 

The great bartender made us a shot for each color of the flag. I did the yellow one.

Yes...two gin and tonics. Some dear bought me a drink, I could hardly say no.

Two big surprises….

YES!!!!

 And I told him I'm totally helping Mayor Pete in any way I can to knock out that current SOB!!!!!!! And then 20 minutes later.....Billy Eichner!

Stonewall National Monument

The new street sign revealed last week. How cool is that?

Yes, a real piano one can sit at and sing show tunes. There is even sheet music in the bench. Many were playing too.

The arch in Washington Square looked amazing!!!

The parade and my favorite...characters!!!

I want to be buried in this.

Miss Shuga Cane

Mistress Maddie's #1 Fan....with his drama!

Ran into this queen Saturday night. Very cool ensemble with an ode of pictures to famous Stonewallians.

Philly friends and drag sisters Carol Ann Carol Ann, and Sharon Husbands, with the fabulous Ginger Minj

THESE TWO!!!! Miguel and Vincente from South America. Now you know I was in trouble!!!! I had met them the night before and just happened upon them again. So they posed for me. They were adorable!!!!! But It gets better. I asked them to make out for me!!!!!!! I have no shame girls.

YASSSSSSS! I am very good right? Chi Chi LaRue best watch out!!!! Maddie just may start directing! The things I could do to them....I think I even told them. But they were good sports and very friendly. Thank you Miguel and Vincente for the pictures and so nice talking to you two. Keep it clean people... they might be reading this since I told them they would be featured for our spank banks. But those shorts.......ahhhhhhhh omg !!!!! Oh Baby! Let's take a minute........

Where was I? Even the train wasn't safe from Preston's palce!!!! Oh Daddy!!! Yippeeeeee

Look at this diva. And he was packing! Hell, I was ready to let him do me to get those platform boots.

At the Cock in the East Village, we were treated to some lovely racy and raunchy go -go boys and broaderline S&M.  Here's Peppermint with a amateur stripper winner. He had a lovely basket too. I was definitely basket shopping this weekend I noticed.

For the life of me can't remember this go-go's  name But I was told I was making it rain 5 and 10's on him! He was cool to let me get his picture. Look at the heft of the coin purse girls!

And I never saw a guy look for loose change this way, but hey, I'd try it.

Meanwhile in Brooklyn,  at Preston's place his downstairs neighbor had this sign. People come for her comical dog in the window, but then stay for the powerful message.

Preston's brood is also to cute. Don't they all look thrilled that Aunt Maddie made them dress and act festive???? Don't ask what was on the little flag to make Oscar hold that in his mouth.

Was I tied today? Hellllll yes! 

Even on the train coming home, I had a ,huh, sort of indiscrecion...but Im lady like, and won't make ya'll blush... but my seat partner had magicial hands.....and I didn't get home till 2:15am!!!! But I wouldn't have changed a thing, except maybe having a threesome with Miguel and Vincente. And if you saw last night's post, your well aware I was with Bunny at the Monster. With copious amount of libations. She did get me into trouble with two guys, and my lovely underwear from Saturdays post went missing after said thrice. I kid you not, she owes me new underwear by my calculations. But Im wrapping this post up...your Mistress is getting over heated dears....I need a lie down.

More cocktails

THE NERVE!!!!

Still recovering. But did capture this.

This was why we march the Parade. This is why we fight too.  Blatant homophobia was right there in gay NYC at World Pride. The CVS was out of enemas.
