A typical NYC day:

8AM: Do laundry before the maids of the other building residents arrive for work and tie up all the machines in the basement.

1:20PM: phone call from Joan Rivers. She says "So you hung up after just three rings?"

3:30 PM: press "send" to transmit swiftly written Joan Rivers interview to editor.

3:45: walk five short blocks to the gym. Decide that this will constitute the aerobic portion of the day. Spend time in gym sauna with scratchy old straight men who used to run restaurants and nightclubs and are glad to unload their stories on me.

5:00PM: Husband has made a wonderful salad that he describes as "garlic and greens" containing minced garlic, quartered brussels sprouts, broccolini, scallions, one minced jalapeno, all sauteed in olive oil with a secret spice mixture and garnished with a shaved Romano and a red pepadew. (Next day he adds ginger and Belgian endive. I resent the endive.)

6PM: meet up with several of the QNY team at the Marian Boesky Gallery for the "Old Reliable" outsider porn show of the photographs of David Hurles (NSFW) presented by legendary John Waters. Much valuable discussion about the hotness of the men depicted in these extraordinary photos. Darling! and I thought they were hot. Baad Lamb and Dr. Jeff thought they were not hot. I think they are indicative of a certain time. 40 years ago. These men were so animalistic. So "bad boy". So low living. So sexually free. They were everything that we good and scrubbed boys were not. Of course we desired them. Desired to know them, love them, be them. So many crossed wires revealed in these photos. (Caution: This show and my video are NSFW)

Photos, NSFW video and more after the break.
