Mickey's 'Family Fuss' with Ivana Tramp starting @ 10:00 pm - CASH PRIZE for all members of winning families! from the edttor Dear Gabbers: Thisweek, we're pleased as punch to feature two really spectacular guys - Alek and Steph, the OhLaLa Boys- on our cover. Forthe one or two of you that haven't heard of them, to both of you I say that these European hotties have created a sensation on all seven continents (the penguins on Antarctica just adore them,) and are taking the GLBTmedia by storm, with features focusing on them and their incredible talent in publications as diverse as Instinct and Florida's Buzzmagazine. We're delighted that they agreed to grace our cover this week. We've also got Part II of a special travel feature from our friends at Pauer Travel focusing on cruising - something we're all very, very good at and something that we can now do without necessarily facing a morals charge. Unless,of course, you happen to be cruising in the Cay- man Islands,where even kissingyour same sex partner brings out the bobbies ...which could be kinda hot, if you're into uniforms. We've got DVD reviews and a bunch of other neat stuff, and we've got our usual columns that you know and love, including OMBlog, GaQ Bag and a really significant piece from that misanthropic curmudgeon, Sebastian Venable, who this week rants about the horrors of the iGeneration in histypically cantankerous way. SO,we've kinde got it all...well,except for a concession speech from a certain persistent sena- tor, of course, but that'll be coming along soon enough ... Enjoy...and thanks for reading! / !
