New York New York - "The Video"
I wanted to comment on the overall presentation of the NY Pride BTS videos. Scorpio did a fantastic job of editing and cutting the footage into entertaining short segments that sure kept this viewer's attention throughout.
The subway ride to the World Trade center site was great. As a native New Yorker who has been riding these subway trains all of my life, I must confess that I always scope out a car I enter for a potential seat opposite a hottie or two, and if I had happened upon that car, not even knowing who they were, I sure would have taken in the view of Denver, Blake and Jason. The ground zero video was moving, as Denver expounded on his feelings, and Blake seemed too emotional to even verbally express his feelings. Very well done guys.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching Mikey2419, the long time
Broke Straight Boys member and fan who had not joined the forum before this episode was released. I love hearing from fellow fans of the site. While I was at the booth, another young fan came over to meet the guys, and I asked him if he was a member of the forum, and he confessed that he is only 17, and not old enough yet to join, but I guess in this day and age, being a year underage is not enough to stop a guy from viewing what he wants online.
I enjoyed the restaurant scene, even if the food was not up to the standards of my European friends, Robert & Grace.
And the final scene in the cab on the way back to the airport was fun too. Did anyone else notice that while in the front seat, Blake was quite engaged in chatting with the cabbie? It's hard to believe that before becoming a
Broke Straight Boys model, Blake describes himself as being shy.
However I especially loved the hotel room scene where Sha was his wonderful self, using the questions that I brought with me to the event, that Stimpy had asked me to ask Jason & Blake. I'm so pleased that they decided to incorporate Stimpy's questions into a very entertaining interview of the boys of
Broke Straight Boys, (and
College Dudes).
Speaking of
College Dudes, I wanted to give some special recognition to Cole Gartner who is the only model from the 2011 Pride tour to have joined Sha on his visit to New York. At the event I spoke briefly to Cole, and of course asked him about one of his co performers at the 2011 events,
Jimmy Johnson. Cole is polite and cute in person. And I loved how his personality came out in the BTS in the hotel room, mugging for the camera, sticking his face into Jason's interview too. He is adorable, and I really liked hearing both him and Denver discuss what it is like being a straight model on a gay porn site, and how the women in their life react to it. Very interesting stuff.
And finally I want to thank the wondefufl, marvelous, vivacious, "hostess with the mostest", Sha. I enjoyed watching Sha during the 2011 tour featuring mostly Rob, Jimmy and Cole, but I can't tell you what a pleasure it was meeting him in person at the Pride Fest. While I loved meeting and talking with Jason, Blake, Denver and Cole, my most memorable conversation of the day was between myself and Sha, long after the camera was turned off. As a huge fan of
Broke Straight Boys, this was a rare opportunity for me to "talk shop" with one of the behind the scenes people from the site, and Sha was very open and expansive with me discussing the changes from BSB1 to BSB2, and of course I spoke at length with Sha too about Jimmy, who spent a lot of time with Sha on the road in 2011. I was very pleased to learn that Sha respects and likes the real young man who is known to us as Jimmy.
The one thing that I was disappointed in is that Sha had told me that after the event, he was taking the boys to visit The Stonewall Inn, which was a few blocks from the site of the Pridefest to see where the gay liberation movement began, and that he would shoot it for BTS. I wonder if they actually made it to the Stonewall.
But overall, I loved being there, and loved the video documentation of that day and that weekend in New York too.
complained!
charming duo rightly belongs as a Broke Straight Boys equivalent to Batman(Jason) & Robin(Blake)! Only in this non-violent iteration using ONLY their mighty dicks and their persuasive smiles to "lay down the law", maybe both can have tight-fitting loincloths just busting at the seams (thinly veiled for easy dick access) with their masculine accoutrements bouncing in the breeze and their overpowering smiles capable of defeating "special effects" in a single glance, from all opposing sworn homophobic enemies 
, I look forward to seeing again "The Dynamic Duo a la Broke Straight Boys"!
