Re: RIP, VIP
Legendary spoken word performer Emilio Cubeiro died on approx. June 15, 2001 in Craftbury Common, VT of complications due to Hepatitis C. A frequent contributor to one of the first gay poetry magazines, "Mouth Of The Dragon" throughout the early Seventies, Cubeiro's exceptional live performances combined poetry, rhythm and music years before anyone else. Reportedly, a young poet named Lydia Lunch saw him perform at CBGB's in 1972, and left completely transformed. It would be over 20 years...

Suddenly I feel a bit feverish...Did I ever tell you about the time I was in Miami and all oiled up and sashayin' down the beach in that gayish zone around 20th street and two Cuban mamis snatched me up right off the beach. I was 21 at the time and I had just imbibed an organic ciggerette and had washed down a mandrax or two with a shaker full of Martini juice and I'm bare foot and in only a skimpy speedo headed towards the ocean for a dip... Well these two young ( 18?) hot cubano girls who...

You can get boots done, boobs done, anything ya'need!~ I'm taking a break from all the shopping. I'm in a beach town called Krabi. I'm staying in a Bungalow on a nearby quieter beach. This area is known for dramatic rock formations, huge spooky limestone cliffs surrounding the beaches, and caves. Yesterday I took a boat ride that took us to 4 islands. It was an all day trip that included lunch and snorkeling (less than the price of a movie). The fish here are so colorful. I really relate to...

Re: Greece & Turkey: Athens, Istanbul, Mykonos, et al
A good number of the Greek women have somewhat hard, masculine faces and really paint on the makeup, including many of the older ones. I have to love it. The hot young chicks of the city are working an Electroclash 80s kitsch look. Our waitress at the outdoor cafe we had lunch at wore denim short-shorts, a horizontal-striped Pat Benetar blouse with poufed sleeves, black leggings, and those suede foldover flat boots that all the girls featured in high school.
