a&f's gay kiss


















Welp, the internet got a little crazy when Abercrombie & Fitch  (HA! spell check wanted to change it to Beachcomber & Fitch, I guess that would still work) released a series of steamy sexy internet videos by fashion photographer Bruce Webber.  In one of the 4 videos, two dudes kiss....er... well sort of.  The kiss on the forehead is sensual (oh and SEXY) but it is the rest of the video that is filled with hotter homoerotic imagery.  Check out the video & Kiss after the jump.

The fabulous Showgurl of the North Camille Collins welcomed very special guest Jujubee (from Ru Paul's Drag Race) to help her host the Salon's sexy Shower contest.
 
While racing around the Saloon, Jujubee had time to answer two quick questions for us.


Mo: Jujubee, What do you think of Gay Minneapolis?

Jujubee: "I think its really fucking amazing, I can't wait to come back. Everybody here is really sweet."

Mo: Have you ever been to a club like the Saloon before?

Jujubee: Actually... no.  I've never seen a naked boy behind a glass shower in a club before and I think it is Ah-Mazing!



In addition to co-hosting with Camille Collins, Jujubee performed 2 numbers.

Check out our photos from Jujubee's performances after the jump.

Aziz Ansari has a huge heart!


Aziz Ansari (or the Lovable Tom Haverford to Parks and Recreation fans) has a huge heart.

After learning about the nonsense GLBT youth experience in the Anoka-Hennepin school district, he raised $13,200 (with two stand-up shows) for  Justin's Gift.

"Justin's Gift provides empowering programming for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning youth and their ally friends. The services are primarily for youth in the general vicinity of Anoka, Andover, Blaine, Champlin, Coon Rapids, and Ramsey but youth from any community are welcome!"

What an awesome Ally!
