Before there was Bieber, Tab Hunter was the boy that drove all the girls wild. Now in his 80s, the former heartthrob shares the secrets of his own heart.

Another gay 1950s star, Tab Hunter, who unlike Rock Hudson and James Dean survived, has just released a film about his life. So interesting! I am dying to see it. Check an interview with him here!

My Reaction to Mad Max: Fury Road and the Utter Perfection that is Imperator Furiosa

Okay so. Buckle up, kids. It’s time for Furiosa feels.

Here’s the thing.

I am what’s called a fetal amputee. Fancy way for saying I was born with a missing limb. I’ve written about this on here before, but it’s been a long time and I’ve gained a lot of new followers recently (hai guyz) so it might be news to some of you.

This is me.

This is Charlize Theron as Furiosa.

I finally wound up going to see this movie Monday night after work, by myself, cause I was too thirsty for it and couldn’t wait for my friends to be available. Everyone was out of town this weekend for various reasons, so I figured I’d just wait for someone to go with, but then Facebook started talking about how amazing it was and I just couldn’t put it off any longer. So that’s how I ended up in a theater last night, completely by myself – not another soul in the room, sobbing my eyes out.

Because you guys. I am turning 30 years old next week. I’ve been a fan of action film my entire life. And I have NEVER seen a physically disabled, kickass, female lead character in a Hollywood movie EVER – not once, until yesterday.

(SEMI-SPOILERS AHEAD)

Good to know?

The artwork that Armando Marino (presented by Ryan) was referring to was by Donald Judd: http://www.theartstory.org/artist-judd-donald.htm And it turns out that he makes lots of references to the history of art in his works. I've included a few more here for your viewing pleasure.

Art installation "Exhibit B" is being met with protests wherever it goes. Supporters say it's a powerful piece, illuminating the horrors of the past. Critics say it's racist and harmful. The Toronto Luminato Festival is not planning to show Exhibit B but has invited a panel from the black community to discuss it.

“She was wearing such a beautiful color, a sort of inky teal,” photographer Jessica Fulford-Dobson said of the Afghan girl with the carefully tied headscarf whose portrait she took last year. In November, the photograph won second place in the prestigious Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize, and the larger series, Skate Girls of Kabul, is now on view at London’s Saatchi Gallery.
