Not having an unlimited supply of wealth at times puts a few limits on one’s life, which isn’t always a bad thing. I’m sure with vast sums of money at my disposal I would have a massive collection of trivial stuff, especially of the shiny and fun variety. I saw these shorts on a certain male model (click the pic to see who) and decided they would make the perfect outfit for the Mardi Gras after party, yet beind dSquared I couldn’t afford them even if I could find them here in Sydney. So my mission to find small short short short red shorts began. When I get something particular in my head I can’t accept a poor substitute but unless one of my loyal readers happens to be one of the Caten twins who make up dSquared, I’m going to have to. I’ve found a pair of shorts in a vague approximation of the right style and I’m going to have to try and dye them red and have them shortened. Fingers crossed.

Here is the first pic from our rehearsal on thursday night. The pace has definitely been wound up from last year’s march with a more energetic routine, albeit with a similar flavour, we are lifesavers not dancers after all. I for one, am really pumped to be in the parade again and this year I’m not making the mistake of going home afterwards, I’m going to the party and skaking my groove thing all night. Last year I went home and lay in bed so wound up I couldn’t sleep all night, instead I lay there still doing the routine over and over with Bonnie Tyler telling me she was still holding out for a hero.
Check the bruises on my left arm from silks on Tuesday night. I got a little tangled doing a trick. Oops. Some have said it makes me look tough. I disagree, I look like a $5 crack whore who’s pimp wasn’t satisfied.
For those still yet to join our float who are eligible, head over to Life Savers With Pride and register.
It’s nearly ten o’clock on Thursday night and I’m about to go to bed so I can get some sleep before getting up for the gym at 5.30 in the morning. I’ve just got home from the first of our rehearsals for the Mardi Gras parade in a few weeks time. It’s looking like we’ll have about double the number of participants in our float of last year for this year’s float. There are even a few guys that read this blog in the float! Check out our float’s blog here.
Tomorrow night a friend is hosting a group of around 7 or 8 guys for drinks, nude. I posted that we wanted to do this a few weeks back asking whether we can do it without it becoming sexual and I think with the guys we’ve got coming, definitely. They are all guys that enjoy being nude for the enjoyment of the freedom, not for sex. I’ll let you know how it goes, but I won’t be posting photos!
What broke my heart today?
Hearing my 5 year old nephew has been in tears the last two days when my sister has dropped him off at school. He’s not enjoying it.
What made me laugh today?
Reading a quote from Calvin & Hobbes “It’s hard to believe in religion when some people aren’t incinerated by lightening.”
What I’m loving?
Trapeze class last night, silks class tonight and really looking forward to Mardi Gras rehearsals starting on Thursday night. Especially looking forward to seeing if there are any hotties in the parade.
The madness is about to begin again and it’s having a good effect. Last year lifesavers took part in the Mardi Gras parade for the first time and it’s set the example we hoped to set. Gay and Lesbian members are signing up in record numbers and here’s hoping they all join us in the parade.

Angelo is taking part in a group show as part of this year’s Mardi Gras Festival, at the Tap Gallery from the 12 Feb to 1 March. There will be some great artists involved in the show along with a heap of other stuff to do over the festival so get out there and get some gay culture!
I’m notoriously slack when it comes to this kinda thing, but I’ll be doing my best to get out and about.
