Think Pink Part 2

 Austin isn't the only one who has been in the pink. And were not talking pinky ring or Pinkberry,

Jake's been wrapped up in it.

Sipped some down

And sneaked a peek or was that dropped a hint?

Very briefly during the production of PoP in 2008, a pink stone popped up on the Prince but not seen for the rest of the film.  Was this a hint of something (or one)on the way?

One more Pink, this time in stripes.

Thanks PG for the suggestion.

Snaps, (Topics) Tackled, and PoP

Pictures from Jake's new interview from GQ. And a great departure from the last set of pictures he did from GQ.

Last time, he was alone in a house, quiet and contemplative in the pictures. But this time he comes back and show that fun and spirited side of him. And easy going silliness from goofing off in the aisle of the candy store to standing under the Jake's Bar Mitzah sign at Katz's Deli.

Despite the lightheartedness of the pictures, Jake touches on some of the serious things in his life, including his parent's divorce, and for the first time how Heath's death affected him.

'Family ... my family, you know ... I love them ... whatever they do, whatever they are ... I love them ... you're actually going to make me cry ...' And just a little, he does."

Peter (in the GQ article) .... "extolling Jake’s virtues, how unusual he is: “It’s a very difficult thing—or it has been over the course of my life—for me to have respect for people like Jake, who are not self-destructive, who are positive. There are very few actors who have that quality. I go [sighs], ‘Ohhhh, motherf–ker just wants to live—f–k him.’ and my thesis with Jake is that it is genuine. He is not doing it to be more popular and more successful, it is actually who he is.”

Crouching Jacob.

Hidden Ping Pong.


You know a candy necklaces make a nice gift.

You guys from out of town?

Whaaat... I said it's an all day sucker.

For my next act I'll be doing Billy Crystal's and Meg Ryan's
"I'll have what she's having " from When Harry Met Sally
under that sign right over there.

Be the camera.
Amazing!Fantastic!
And.... we're done!

"Horns are, to me, the most affirmative instrument to say there is something beyond where we are. In Mumford & Sons [music], whenever those horns come on, I feel like it's all going to be okay. Life's all good -- for the whole world. Maybe that's sophomoric, but I really feel that in my heart."

Think he thinks that when he see these horns too.

Un, Deux, Trois

Jake seems to be in two places at once yesterday and not on Twitter but on purpose!

Un

While Jake is in the fashion capital of the world, he appeared at the Oscars of Fashion. At the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Awards in New York,last night Tom Cruise, Jake and Jon Hamm via video paid tribute to GQ Creative Director Jim Moore, who accepted the Eleanor Lambert award. Some would say the threesome represented variations on the Mad Man but it looks more it was for their sense of GQ style.

Deux

The setting might not have been as GQ, but Jake was sporting a similar casual look, well this time avec chapeaux, while at the flea market with Peter & Maggie. Didn't look like he was shopping, but bet he picked up tea from Mariage Freres, one of the best tea purveyors in the world again. And a foodie in Paris, how can he not visit the open markets even for a look at the beautiful displays of farm fresh food. Maybe he picked up some copper pots or add something else to his kitchen collection. Then again he went shopping for someone(s) while there.

and Austin makes Trois
Mark you calendars! - The Informers is coming out on DVD in the US - August 25th. No word on if the those 90 missing minutes will be included.


Reminder :

OMG Movie Club Second Feature:

Join us this Friday night and Saturday as well discuss the second movie of our Double Feature Movie Club. The movie is Big Eden. It's the story of Henry Hart, a successful gay artist from New York City who returns to his Montana hometown to care for his dying grandfather. While at home, Henry is forced to confront his unresolved feelings for high school friend Dean Stewart, while simultaneously beginning to fall in love with someone else. All the while the town helps Pike Dexter, the shy Native American owner of the town's general store find love too. There is no doom or gloom, twinks, or club scenes to Big Eden but a sweet quirky romantic love story.




My friend Mark. From moment I sat in his office for my job interview, we knew we would be friends. The Italian love child of Barney Fife and John Waters, he took me on a Queertastic ride of pop and gay culture. He was my very own Datalounge before Datalounge existed. Together we were like Michael K is today, complete with our own love of MahBoo Anderson Cooper. We shared a love of kitcsh, pop culture, art, gourmet food, Dusty, music, Moonstruck, and dirty jokes. And I still loved him even though he was a Steelers fan.

And what does it have to do with you? Well, there really wouldn't be an OMG without him. You see he was one of my influences that helps shape a lot that comes out in my posts. Jakey was on our list of boys to discuss, way back when he started out as an indie boy, and that EW cover for TDAT - still remember Mark saying - Honey have you seen this? And Mark was the first person I told when I read Ang was making Brokeback. All things connect.
