I was at the mall the other day with my nieces and nephews to have their pictures taken with Santa, and I swear that St. Nick was cruising me. Now, I'm not usually into bears, but there was something about the twinkle in his eyes and the way his belly shook like a bowl-full of jelly that could've easily turned me into a ho-ho-ho, if you get me drift. Should I go back and sit in his lap and tell him what I really want for Christmas? Without the rug rats, of course.
Holiday Ho
Dear Ho:
My goodness, Christmas does strange things to people, doesn't it? I mean, not only are you finding yourself uncharacteristically attracted to a rolly-polly, but you're actually thinking of initiating some sort of carnal activity in full sight of a bunch of soccer moms, impressionable children AND a squad of rent-a-cops that would probably love nothing more than to bust a sista in the middle of the busiest shopping season of the year so they can get a better bonus. A little too much nog, honey? Now, I'm not one to stick my nose in anyone else's busi- ness (shut up, biatches,) and would never even begin to think of suggesting that you can do better than a seasonally-employed and out-of-shape actor that sits around and gets gum and lollipops stuck all over him for most of the month of December, but sweetie....you can do better! After all, you've already stated that you're not usually into bears, so what is it about Nick that's making you suddenly change your feelings? Is it the lure of lots of prezzies under the tree? The appeal of a moonlit sleigh ride with Rudolph? A secret fetish for elves? Because certainly it can't be all that fake white fur and red velvet or you'd be after Paris Hilton. No, dear, you shouldn't go back, you shouldn't sit on his lap and you shouldn't tell him what you want for Christmas. Rather, you should be a good little boy and go straight to Nordstrom and buy your Auntie Diva some- thing extra special for helping you to see the error of your ways and preventing what could have been a major catastrophe for all concerned.
Dear Diva:
Do you think it would be tacky to hire a male stripper dressed in a Santa suit to perform at my best friend's son's bar mitzvah?
Clueless in Clute
Dear Dumber.
Oh no, dahling....not tacky at all. Why, it's the height of chic sophistication, and proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that all those people that think that Clute is a backwater berg of inbred Neanderthals are completely uninformed about just how cosmopolitan and worldly the city really is. And, surely, those same people are completely unaware about both your talents as a party planner AND your innate ability to make everyone in your purview feel comfortable and at ease. So you go right ahead and hire your stripper. In fact, hire a bunch of Hooters' hoes dressed as nuns to do a raunchy version of I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus while you're at it, secure in the knowledge that, because of your style and panache, 2008 will see a whole new world of opportunity opening up for you in a city far, far away from home, and that you will be sur- rounded with a completely new circle of friends for you to impress and amaze with your unquestioned and unparalleled sensitivity.

No, but I would like to visit San Antonio sometime 1\ and see the Alamo. I hear Austin has a great music scene, That would be cool! How did you decide to get in porn? I have a big dick and love to fuck ...seemed like a good idea, Let's just cut to the chase. How big is your dick? 10 inches give or take, What made you decide to work with Lucas Entertainment? I live in New York. I went in for an interview and I liked what Isaw, everybody there is very friendly and professional, Do you consider yourself an exhibition- ist? Not really, I just enjoy having sex. You were great in the "Intern" and I hear that your 3 way scene in "Gigolo" was amazing. Which scene did you have more fun filming? I liked them both for different rea- sons, But I would agree with you the three way in "Gigolo" is hot. The films at Lucas Entertainment are more than just sex films, they usually have a plot. Do yousee yourself as actor or a porn star? Never really thought about it, I would say a little of both, I'm not one for labels, What's the next project you are current- ly filming with Lucas Entertainment? I have an Audition scene to film this month. I'm breaking in a newbie. Can't wait to see that! Are you dating anyone right now? Nope, Not at the moment. I'm still looking for the right one, You have that handsome rugged look, are you a roman- tic kind of guy or are you the love and leave them type? I can be both depends on who I'm with.. .maybe I am an actor! But I can't really say that "I'm a leaver" because I haven't really found anyone SATURDAY J AN. 2 6T~H N 6lQ.l0PM Austin Equality Gala.

I belly- upped to the bar to get my grub on, and wash the fine vittles down with a tasty tequila beverage. I searched high and low for the famed house diva and Austin TWT EOY Jame Parry, but nowhere was she to be found ...those who are in the know say I might be able to bump into her on Sunday nights, since she's got it all going on that night center stage at Charlie's.
