BENT revolves around the escalating persecution of gay men by Germany’s Third Reich before and during World War II. We meet the central character of Max, who has been living an exciting and carefree life in the heart of Berlin’s vibrant and libertarian gay subculture. As the fascist government begins to round up, imprison and kill gays, a fateful mistake leads to Max’s flight, his capture, and his rail car journey to the concentration camp at Dachau. The story of his existence there, and the love that transcends it, makes for an amazingly powerful human drama.
See Bent Feb 5-8, Feb 13-15, and Feb 20-22 at the Know Theatre in Binghamton

“For many, the word “businessperson” connotes men in white shirts and stranglehold neckties. That stereotype may have held true in the 1950s, but since then, the appearance factor of the business world has evolved substantially.
Take women. Hot women have always populated the business world in some shape or form. We tasked ourselves with compiling a list of the hottest businesswomen we could think of, for your viewing pleasure. These women are accomplished both in the business and the looks departments. Get acquainted with these hotties, outside of the cube–and outside of the pantsuit.”

Messing with ads in subways is becoming an artform, but this “Photoshopping” of ads in Berlin takes things to the next level by creating a Photoshop interface with stickers. This is pitch-perfect adbusting right here.

After seeing the site from my previous post, I remembered seeing an entry on Towleroad, about the rising number of gay ‘zines in NYC. He references a story in New York Magazine, “New York-Based Gay Magazines Are Thriving”.
“The seventies saw the first rise in ’zine culture, and then again in the mid-eighties, when the plain-paper copier made life easier. But the last few years have definitely been a new phenomenon.” Bronson credits Butt magazine, founded in Amsterdam and now edited in New York, with influencing a new generation of titles that are at once arty and dirty

Outspoken animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is using the “sea kitten” name as part of its push to restrict fishing.
“Nobody would hurt a sea kitten!” the group says on its website.
“People don’t seem to like fish.
“We’re going to start by retiring the old name for good.
“When your name can also be used as a verb that means driving a hook through your head, it’s time for a serious image makeover.”
