Tuesday Hotness - Nick Ayer

You remember that time you were at a photo shoot and the photographer asked you to pour a bucket of jizz all over your bad self?

If you haven't checked out the new issue of DNA, this is the issue for you. Everyone is talking about their new cover model. And for the record, my clothes fall off every time I wash a car too. I just don't look like this. Wah wah.

X-Rated Angel

Do you remember when I posted about Peter Breeze's new music video and single earlier this month? Well it's here, bitches! Watch it and weep:

 
I am soooo mad I missed the big debut at 1181 Tight Lounge on Saturday. I had a super weird video interview with Margaret Cho instead, which should surface here on Xtra in September. I'll write more about that in my Cocked & Loaded column next Wednesday.
 
Back to Breeze: you know the feeling you get when you nail something and nail it good? I imagine it feels something comparable to this. No seriously, the opening scene in the "X-Rated Angel" video around the table... that is fucking gorgeous. The song fits the video, the video fits the song. Both are fun and unexpectedly more layered and complex than a first listen or watch would hint at. I'm a huge fan of Rami Films too. Call me!
 
So excited that edge and cool and new is coming to us live from Vancouver. Peter Breeze, I salute you:

A Worldwide View of Tops vs Bottoms

Sale Alert! Exhibit Apparel at Main and 11th is having an end-of-summer blowout. If you haven't checked out this store, DO IT! It's one of my favourite new men's boutiques on Main and it carries a whole ton of dynamic denim and killer printed Ts and other menswear. Sales ranging from 40-70% off, so get out this weekend and check it out.

In other news, Manhunt has released the results from some number crunching it's been tabulating over the past some time. I know, right? When I want cold hard statistics, Manhunt is TOTALLY the first place I go a-looking. Headless torsos vs gratuitous ass shots? PNP vs hot chest steamies?

Nay, Up Your Alley reader, it is Tops vs Bottoms... and I'm sure you'll be surprised by these tabulations:

(Source Manhunt Daily - where you can also find specific percentages to help plan your next vacation) 

Oh SHOCKING! For the record, Canada clocked in at 52% top, 48% bottom.

So this week's shout-out goes out to Spain - thanks for colonizing the New World with a bunch of butt-hungry hottos. I salute you!

Sensory Deprivation Tent

Queer Bash returns this Saturday at the Cobalt with a Camp vs Camp dress-up theme.

I've been waiting all summer to wear this:

... which, interestingly enough, is what I usually wear after watching new Jersey Shore episodes. Yes. I admit to watching them. And yes, I know it's destroying the one brain cell I have left, but it's worth it.

Got a question for Margaret Cho?

Margaret Cho's new Cho Dependent tour is blowing into Vancouver this Saturday at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, and the magicians and sorcerers at Pink Triangle Press have somehow hornswaggled me a video interview with La Cho before her show.

I'm planning to include some fan questions in the interview and will ask anything. And I mean ANYTHING. So don't be shy. Leave a comment or a question with your name and city or send me an email at vancouvergayblog@gmail.com. Is Canada curious? I hope so.

 

If you haven't got tickets, I've found some pricier ones online and on Craigslist.

This tour is in support of a new comedy music album, Cho Dependent, featuring songs with Ben Lee, Tegan and Sara, Fiona Apple, Ani DiFranco and some other people. It was released yesterday and you can grab a copy on iTunes and some other places, I'm sure.

Here's a video for her first single:
