The US military is defying their own ban on gays and lesbians by calling back to drill duty openly Gay rights advocate Lt. Dan Choi. Is Don’t As Don’t tell finally over?
Correction:
Lt. Choi has NOT been ordered back to active duty. It would be difficult to order him “back” to active duty, being that he serves in the New York National Guard, not on active duty, unless he had been mobilized. What has happened is that, with the support of his command, Lt. Choi drilled with his National Guard unit this past weekend for training on critical infantry tasks with his Soldiers.
Google’s new service, Buzz, aims to kill Facebook by putting social media tools right into your gmail account.
Jack Mackenroth’s new reality TV show starring all the famous New York City drag queens is looking for a network, will Bravo bite the hook?
Also, a surgically implantable bra, lap dances for relief, that’s relief for Haiti, and a Chinese Woman that will do anything to look Like Jessica Alba.

Enjoy a preview of my soon-to-be-released album, featuring great Chicago musicians Willie Pickens on piano, Art Davis on trumpet and Marlene Rosenberg on bass. The photos for this slide show were shot by Jennifer Girard.
Sexy and for a good cause, Marc Felion went behind the scenes on the photo shoot for the new Dining Out for Life campaign, featuring lots of hot models in all sorts of poses. Why? Because Chicago’s known as the city of big shoulders, so why not use some guys with big shoulders?

Dance performer Todd Kiech, better known as Hot Toddy is throwing a “Xmas Burlesque” show 8pm, December 15 at Scarlet bar in Chicago. The show features The Stagedoor Johnnies, Frenchie Kiss, Fanny Tastic, Vicki Syn, and Hosted by Miss Omicah.
He says he’s “back from Vegas” to show Chicago a good time. Not sure what he was doing in Las Vegas, but I’m sure it had something to do with the movie “Showgirls” if you know what I mean.
According to his MySpace page, Toddy may be 45 years old, but from these photos of him in his satin satan suit, he’s got buns of steel.

Chicago born model Ronnie Kroell made it to the top two in the first season of Bravo’s hit reality tv show “Make Me a Supermodel.” His midwestern good looks, sparkling smile and unabashed honestly about his sexuality made him a viewer favorite.
His intense friendship with fellow contestant, the straight prison guard Ben DiChiara, became a focal point of the show and often out-shined the public interest in the competition itself.
Ronnie joins us here to today to talk about how reality TV made him a better person, being betrayed by his porn star escort boyfriend and why embracing your imperfections makes you beautiful.
Plus, questions for Ronnie from you listeners on the Feast of Fun Facebook page:
Photos by Boris Kravchenko and others. Click through for photo credit.
In case you were wondering, Ronnie is all that. His physical attractiveness is matched by his razor sharp wit, eloquence and willingness to poke fun at himself. Ronnie’s going to go far because he’s flexible, takes the work seriously but doesn’t take himself too seriously. I was totally charmed, and he’s single!
Just look how good he looks in our new “Canary” t-shirts:

Why do we need to a show on a Gay Guide to Chicago? We often get the question from our listeners who plan to come to the Windy City for some good gay fun; “Dear Fausto and Marc-I’m coming to Chicago and I want to know what to do and where to go.”
It’s a difficult question to answer because Chicago has so much to offer to so many different types of people. We usually ask people what they are into and proceed form there. We’d hate to to tell someone to go ice skating at Millennium Park and later find out they suffer from pagophobia, which is the fear of ice. Now who would be afraid of ice? What do they do at cocktail bars? But that’s the great thing about phobias- they are totally irrational.
What is not is irrational is the desire to come to Chicago, “Chitown,” “The City of Broad Shoulders,” “Hog Butcher to The World,” “The City That Works” or as Studs Terkel calls it “Home of the Gayest Podcast in The World” (just kidding about the Studs part. Not sure which stud said that.)
Gay and straight Chicago has a lot to offer to the GLBT traveler. So much in fact that we are bringing in the big guns- Kathie Bergquist and Robert McDonald, authors of A Field Guide to Gay and Lesbian Chicago.
This book is a must read for anybody contemplating visiting Chicago. Not only is it a great general guide that will appease your straight friends and give them all the info they would need for a totally hetero travel experience, but it gives the low-down on all that is on the down-low.
Join us as we talk about our favorite gay bars and restaurants and spots to visit in this fabulous town. What makes a shoe store gay? What makes a gay-borhood gay? What makes anything gay for that matter?

Teri Yaki explains to the best of his knowledge the sordid details of Lady Vera Parker the Chicago drag queen who was arrested for check fraud and stealing a U-Haul truck from Kentucky. Why is Michael Jackson’s death hitting the public especially hard and Sarah Palin’s abrupt resignation leaves the country befuddled.
Drag queen Lady Vera Parker moved to Chicago with the hopes of making it big as an entertainer.

Adding to her growing list of atrocities, Lady Vera Parker was also spotted on a “jungle” themed gay pride parade float wearing silver pumps. What kind of self-respecting drag queen would be caught wearing those?
If you think we’re being too hard on her, remember the crimes she’s being accused of and the people she allegedly robbed.
