Prove it!
As of midnight last night, it was exactly six years since my first post. It's been a tough thing to keep up with a dayjob and outside activities, and just when I think I might walk away, a valuable connection or interesting opportunity or a kind word comes my way. Thank you all for reading me.
Of whom are you more jealous?
Here are my favorite 100+ posts out of nearly 11,000. Please take some time to read (or re-read!) a couple and tweet or Facebook any you like.

Dancing With the Stars winner alum Louie Vito is keenly looking forward to The Situation's upcoming shirtless prancing this season, telling People:
"I want to see how many dances he's going to do with his shirt off. That's his trademark, so I want to see if they're going to play that up or not...It's all about the package. If the package is good then they'll do well with people voting. I think The Situation could have some good packages. I'm interested to see how he's going to do without the rest of his crew with him."

I love finding out when someone I've shot for "Guydar" has been recognized. The extremely handsome guy above turns out to be Dan Glenn, a model and actor who's starring in that new gay-James Dean movie that's burning up the blogs lately, Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean. Trailer:
Dan's swimsuit shot below is from here (John Carroll is on the same page, a gorgeous Broadway dancer who gave The Situation a run for his millions here):
One thing I learned from OK! (July 5, 2010)...Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino does have fab abs, but he would look better with more hair:
And Penn Badgley, right, ain't half bad either!
