Tall Gay Agenda @ Atlas

Last night we had our first official TGA gathering in a longgggg time. Inspired by Miss Britney herself, our group is now doing it's own residency at Atlas Social Club in Hell's Kitchen. Hopefully once a month we will be having Tall Tuesdays with all of New York's Gay Giants converging on the bar at once.

I had a fancy benefit to attend last night so I didn't get to TGA until around 10pm when things were starting to wind down. I was told there were over 150 giants who showed up!

Our Dear Leader Evan was as usual an amazing friendly welcoming host to all the newbies.

John and DanielK (who we saw just three days ago in Vegas at Britney) were back in town too.

We had a bunch of midge admirers on hand too. Loves a midge admirer because without them all our pictures just make us look like we're normal-heighted!

I love all my tall brothers!

Off to LA tomorrow for the Grand Opening of Lisa Vanderpump's new bar, PUMP!

Evan's Tall Gay EatParty Birthday!!!

I often call Evan our Dear Leader.

Mainly because the North Koreans do it to the Kim Jong WhateverTheirNamesAre and I think it is  ridiculous/hilarious, but also because, as founder and main social organizer of the Tall Gay Agenda (our amazing group of tall gays 6'4" and taller),  Evan really is our leader!

I photoshopped him this little picture for his bday. Pretty proud of it.
 

(This is the original, notice how I lengthened the legs on those silly little midge NorthKoreans.)

On Sunday I had a fabulous SoHo House Brunch with some of my favorite ladies...

After they left, Evan & friends came by for drinks and then we headed to a tall gay screening of American Hustle. (Really fun movie. Slightly overrated. But great.)

Afterwards we went out in the East Village for drinks. One drink turned into ten and we found ourselves at midnight ringing in Evan's birthday and then proceeding to get Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken at 2am and drunkenly closing the place down after ordering the "Family Feast"...

Monday passed. I had a couple photoshoots, and then at 4pm Evan decided he wanted to have another birthday feast and organized an impromptu dinner at Hill Country because they do a special Monday Night All-You-Can-East Barbecue FEAST.

It is insane.

Tall boys know how to EAT.

We had chickens and ribs and briskets and a CRAZY assortment of different delicious sides like green bean casserole, mac and cheese, corn pudding, potato salad, beanzzzzz, you name it we ate it.

ROWRRRR.

Afterwards we got a text from our friend Shane who bartends down at Pulqueria down in Chinatown. Since that is near my house and I had driven up to Hill Country, the giants all squeezed in for a free ride downtown.

It was NOT legal...

We made it down to Chi-Town though!

And made Shane feel like a lil celebrity...

LOVE nights out with my tall brothers!

We look like a band or something...

Happy Birthday Evan!!!!

Thank you for uniting so many wonderful giants!!!!

New York effing City

I left my apartment this morning to someone yelling, "ROLLING!!!...wait...Cut! CUTTT!!!!" Because I had literally walked right onto a movie set - in between Adam Sandler and a camera crew filming his upcoming movie "The Cobbler" outside my front door.



And that was the LEAST exciting thing that happened today.

From there I was on my way to SoHo House to pick up my brand new membership card and get my orientation.



Literally I was handed my card and I thought, "The rest of my life begins today."

For those of you who keep asking what SoHo House is and why it's such a big deal, watch the Sex and the City clip where it's featured...



After my orientation I ended up staying there all morning doing work on my computer and having breakfast and coffee and being generally fabulous.

It was amazing. I love it. My new home.

At 1pm I went uptown to do a corporate headshot shoot for this fabulous tech marketing company that I've been doing lots of shoots for.

This is my 3rd time shooting their people, so now we have our routine down and it's a breeze and I just basically hang out with my awesome contact person there, Samantha, and we chat and giggle and gossip.

Today I taught them Asian Poses. My job is the best job. I know it.



After shooting 9 people over the course of 2 hours (9 corporate shots x $250 = $2250 woo!) I ran home to drop off my cameras.

I was also informed the company will be flying me to SF in two weeks to shoot their SF and European teams. (30 people or something, triple-woo!)

I got home, dropped of my cameras, and then headed up to Lincoln Square IMAX where Megoon had invited me to an advance screening of Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire.

(Goon's friend's step-daddy is the prez of IMAX, what.ever.)



The movie was AMAZING. Stressful, but amazing.

Also, Liam Hemsworth is too beautiful for words.



After THAT we went downtown to Olive's by Todd English at the W Hotel Union Square where my dear friend and headshot client (and Penelope Cruz clone) Merly was bartending.



She hooked us up with drinks and delicious food.

Including rabbit pasta...



(SOFA. KING. DELICIOUS.)



Crab toast...



And the MOST DELICIOUS SOUFFLE I've ever had in my life.



After wayyyy to many beers and vodka sodas I shouted across the bar, "MERLY! Does Todd English ever come in here?"

She gestured over to the corner and was like, "Dude! He's right over there!"

It was such a only-in-New-York(or LA) moment.

Turns out Merly and Todd are besties and so she brought him over and we got to chat him up and take a photo.



No big deal. Just Todd English. One big-time-iest chefs in America.

You may recall our very first outing to Olive's Las Vegas during our epic Celine Dion Adventure.

Not only an amazing chef/restauranteur but a total hunk as well.

I love this frickin' city.

TGA @ Pulqueria

We had a TGA - Tall Gay Agenda party at Pulqueria in Chinatown tonight.

It's a secret little underground bar with low ceilings which normally is annoying but when everyone is a giant it's kind of funny.

I love being around my fellow gay giants!!!!
