An interview with Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld by filmmaker Bruce LaBruce in the current issue of VICE magazine touches briefly on the subject of same-sex marriage. Lagerfeld doesn't believe in it. LABRUCE: You are against the idea of gay marriage. I totally agree with you on that. LAGERFELD: Yes, I’m against it for a very simple reason: In the 60s they all said we had the right to the difference. And now, suddenly, they want a bourgeois life. LABRUCE: It’s normalizing. LAGERFELD: For me it’s difficult to imagine—one of the papas at work and the other at home with the baby. ...

Overheard on the deck of Star Bar: “This is the cool kids’ party.” Indeed, it felt that way. While the visiting throngs headed to the Gowalla party at the Belmont, Thrillist party at Stubb’s, or always thrilling Plutopia at the MACC, a few dozen entertainment-oriented Austinites relaxed over delicious drinks at the annual Locals Only Party, thrown in part by Giant Noise. David Kittredge and Ginger Roddick Right away, I ran into Ginger Roddick, former publicist for brother-in-law Andy Roddick. She’s now living in Norman, Okla., where her husband, John Roddick, is head of men’s tennis at the University of Oklahoma. ...

Or hot-day look? For a hot day in the sun, at least, this nip-knit ensemble is ideal. You won't stay pasty if all you're wearing are those pasties. Ironically, the photo's via Poorly Dressed. More like barely dressed.  ...

By a vote of 8-6, Pennsylvania’s Senate Judiciary tabled crazy Sen. John Eichelberger’s attempt to add a constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriage.Three Republicans joined the Democrats in voting the Senate Bill 707 down, down, down. Andy Hoover, legislative director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, says, “It’s hard to imagine this coming up again after what just happened. This is the third time this has gone down … in four years. It’s pretty clear the Legislature has other more important things to deal with right now.”Yeah, like it’s anti-gay senators! As of this writing ...

Man, America is missing out in the worst way possible. Eurovision 2010 is already at the final stages, but along the way, gays everywhere have been striking stoner gold on YouTube. I've compiled all these performances in one post because these men (or in Eric Saade's case, manboys) have 1 thing in common: they all look like Donny Osmond at some point in his creepy somewhat successful career. Peter is a direct throwback to Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Case in point:How do I know of this? Oh yes children, when your mother is a big musical ...

Source: National Catholic Reporter, KUSA 9News, Boulder Daily Camera, Public Eye The Boulder lesbian couple whose children have been barred from enrolling next year at their parish grade school agreed to an interview this week with National Catholic Reporter and also released a statement on the case to all media. “When we were allowed to have our children baptized, we made a promise to raise our children in the Catholic faith,” the women said in their statement [pdf]. “We now feel like our attempts at fulfilling this promise are being undermined by ...

Step 1: High speed rail from London to Beijing. Step 2: it gets bigger. Lines are being planned to Singapore, Burma, India and Germany via Russia. Travel time from London to Beijing would be about 2 days. China is looking to be paid in natural resources. Burma, for instance, may pay in lithium. ...

Alexa here. Rainy spring days are usually when I watch Harold and Maude again. Wes Anderson should give Hal Ashby a standing posthumous credit on all his films, simply because of the debt his style owes to the cult classic. It's no surprise that many the indie artist and crafter is similarly smitten with the odd couple. Here are a few of the treats out there right now. Harold: I like you, Maude. Maude: I like you, Harold.Prints available here. Oatstraw tea, just like Maude gave Harold!The idea of a Harold and Maude snowglobe is hilarious ...

Leaning over the rail at the upstairs bar of Frank on Colorado Street, I flashed to 25 years ago. That’s when the long, tall, narrow building was home to the Boathouse, then Austin’s premiere gay club. Near to where I now smiled at diners below, I had scanned the dance floor for my friends on particularly populated nights. Susan Linn Ferris and Jake Gonzales But this gathering belong to the Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival, which was welcoming guests to SXSW Film. The Steers & Queers Party assumed a jaunty Western flavor, without overplaying the theme. At the instigation ...

What’s the tweetiest community in Austin? High tech? Politics? Music? Movies? I’d put my bets on the food nation. I see more activity on Twitter, more foodie blogs, more Yelp reviews, you name it, about restaurants, food trailers, gardening, recipes and sustainable cooking and eating than any other general topic. Peter Tsai and Kristina Vallejo Which reminds me of the focus groups we conducted in 1994 for the launch of the XL weekly entertainment magazine. The No. 1 entertainment choice for Austinites? Going out to eat. Hasn’t changed since then. Vivian Chang and David Park The Food Bloggers Bash at Cedar Door, ...

"I told him I had my period so I wanted to keep my underwear on, and he asked me to take my tampon out for him to play with. 'I love tampons!' he said, in that psychotically upbeat way that temporarily convinces so many girls that what's fun for Uncle Terry is fun for them. (I can just imagine him chirping, 'Why don't you wear these fairy wings while I fuck you in the ass? Wouldn't that be like, so fun?' to some attenuated girl fresh off the boat from Eastern Europe. Either the man's totally delusional, or he gets ...

I love Alison Goldfrapp. She likes rubber, vintage synths, and the ladies. This is a remix of "Rocket," the new single from Headfirst, the new Goldfrapp record due out next week. For the official video and Alison in rubber gloves click here.  ...

Sam is wearing an Avatar-blue sweater, lest you are so bored by his image you forget who he is and what his claim to fame is. Kim goes back to her roots for the Armenian edition of FHM. You can tell it's Armenian FHM, because they replaced the standard American cover line "How to Carve Up a Turkey" with "How to Carve Up a Lamb." And wrote a gibberish piece called "Rule Touch Footy," because that's how they talk, right? (Unless that is some sort of soccer reference, in which case forgive me.) OMG, I see a tittie! ...

Butterface’ offers his top five tips for competing at your best in his new Web video (two of six in the series) for Speedo today. You might want to watch this on mute, as he doesn’t offer very much. After he gets to tip #2, he offers three other “duhhhh” tips like “swim fast, have fun, get ready for the next one,” he pulled out of his butterass since there wasn’t a script to follow. The best part of this video is the scenes at :13-:20 seconds that feature Butterface’s stretching routine and Speedo-clad moose knuckles at Duel in ...

So, I had an incredible time at Emerald City Comic Convention this weekend — the entire thing was like a creative handjob. Seeing all the talented artists, publishers, etc. was just stupefying. It was also a real treat actually meeting some people who have read the comic — people I’ve never met before. Usually, there’s some sort of interaction with a person that leads me bribing them to check the site out, then they might get back to me with a “hey, that’s not bad” or “wow, you’re a creepy sex addict” and we go from there. But to have ...
