Taipei bear beach party, at end of July

Taipei bears mix manga and beach party. Pass the beach ball, and share the inflatable donut. It’s Bear Festival 5.

Is it bad to find Omar Bin Laden sexy?

Osama Bin Laden’s son is looking good! I guess finding one of the world’s biggest terrorists’ son sexy is probably “no guudo” (no good) as we say in Japan. But still! I also agree with his brothers and his statement that “We maintain that arbitrary killing is not a solution to political problems.” If only this concept was universally shared.

There’s no small irony that this Saudi hottie is wearing a Calvin Klein t-shirt, no? I also love how his “Growing Up bin Laden” memoir seems to echo the famous life story of the Kardashian sisters.

Is Tumblr making it easier to collect and share ikemen images?

OMG, now I’ve discovered two more Tumblr blogs, presumably by white women who love young Asian guys. Probably connected to FuckYeahBlondKoreans.

FuckYeahIkemen: As their tag lines says, “You have to admit it, Asian men are gorgeous. Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, it doesn’t matter, we love them.” As long as they are young, often blond, and preferably shirtless seems like the unwritten extra criteria!

FuckYeahHirokiNarimiya: An attractive Japanese actor I’ve blogged about before. Widely rumored to be gay.

American politicians behaving badly

Ah, Washington. It’s another world in terms of men’s bad behavior. A favorite source of comedy, adultery and forgiveness is the C Street Fellowship, a senator’s share and prayer house. Doonesbury had a hilarious week of strips about hard-core Christian grace.
