Quartz Aluminum Marble Hottie model Shawn Stingel is sharing with us his latest shoot lensed by Tony Veloz. “These pictures are part of a set I call, “The Stones Series.”  I collaborated with photographer Tony Veloz on a variety of different shots, but I found a theme in each image he sent me.  I started to envision gemstones, rocks, and minerals, based on how the image “spoke” to me and how solid I look.  Sounds silly I know, but it all started with Quartz (the cold, cyborg-like headshot) and eventually I found myself naming every image after ...

For somebody who began his adulthood behind the scenes, learning technology and building games, Richard Garriott has become accustomed to the limelight. For years, he has staged some of the most notorious parties in Austin — notorious for their sweet eccentricities, not bacchanalian excesses, by the way. And he has publicly backed the arts and sciences, particularly Zach Theatre and the nascent Austin Planetarium. Nicole Whiteside, Lindsey Taylor and Stanley Roy Williamson of Tiny Stolen Moments But once he spent some of those gaming dollars to train for a Russian space mission, Garriott’s public star, so to speak, has risen ...

SXSW head honcho Roland Swenson said something wise to me during the Microsoft BizSpark and Volusion Tech Cocktail at the Palm Door. Speaking about social events during SXSW Interactive, Swenson pointed out that guests really talked to each other, in contrast to SXSW Music, when it’s “party, party, party.” Matt Curtin and Chris Valentine Indeed, besides the distractions of conversation-killing music and hipster posing, the 700 or so sideparties during SXSW Music are partly about getting trashed. (“Rebel, rebel, you’re face is a mess.) In contrast, over the past six days of the SXSW Interactive and Film portions, I’ve noticed maybe ...

Paquita la del Barrio, the Sophie Tucker of Mexico, made headlines south of the border recently when she said that in her opinion it's better for a child to die of neglect and starvation on the street than to be adopted by gays. And the diva is sticking to her opinion. On a television show that appears to be the Mexican version of The View, the ladies took sides on the issue. (via Towleroad; of interest below, Paquita la del Barrio and Sophie Tucker)   ...

Kevin Zeger's dimples. Pure and simple. I don't care about Chuck cocking his head to the side while he stirs his drink, or cocking his head to the other side to express disdain for something, or tilting his left cheekbone to the camera to indicate that he doesn't like his new mummy, or tilting his right cheekbone because it looks pretty at that angle, or flaring his enormous horse nostrils at Blair and Serena... I no longer care about Chuck at all. He's insufferable. And Dan and Vanessa at college. Please hit me with a hammer until they graduate. I hate ...

This is from NOM's latest e-blast, with the topic being their new "Two Peas in a Pod" ad: Uh huh. Right. "Liberal groups" are low-rating their ad. Because it's never NOM's merits (or lack thereof) that earn them ire. No, no. It's those pesky "liberals." The funny thing about this? The ad in question, with its current 3-stars (thanks to this e-blast which got the rating up from a 2), is actually the highest rated video NOM has posted to Youtube! Go ahead -- sort their 33 videos by "Top Rated." The only one that ranks higher is ...

By an 8-6 vote, the Pennsylvania state Senate Judiciary Committee voted down a marriage equality ban: Pa. Senate panel tables bill to ban gay marriage [AP via LD News] Good news, obviously. But still, as long as we live in a country where anti-American bullsh*t like this can come even this close to advancement, we're still in a less-than-okay state of affairs. *** **The vote breakdown, with phone numbers, in case you want to thank the supporters/encourage progress: The eight Senators who voted to kill SB 707: Sen.

Red Carpet Lineup: Once weekly we check in with random celebrities. Who is Where and Why? And What (are they wearing)?From left to right: Jonathan Groff was at the Paley Center to promote GLEE (He's joined the cast drizzling yet more awesomeness on a show that's already fully marinated in the stuff). Groff wowed New York on stage (Spring Awakening + Hair) and now he's after the rest of the world. He's pulling off a mere mortal look here surprisingly well but do not be fooled. He's actually a demi-god (see: that 'I'll Possess Your Soul And You'll ...

A Dallas jail guard says his right to free speech was violated when he was fired, after 17 years with the department, for conduct unbecoming an officer and for lying to internal affairs with regard to remarks he made about gays: "Johnson in October interrupted a private conversation among jail staff and 'interjected his own opinions,' telling them all gays should be annihilated, according to a sheriff's report. 'They made it out to be that I was a bigot. I was fired 'cause I hurt someone else's feelings,' Johnson said Monday. He said that his free speech rights were ...
