Howdy, homos! Let’s all give a hoot and a holler for Windy City Rodeo 2007, this weekend in Crete, IL. It’s time to cowboy up for a weekend filled with fun, frolic and fillies. Yours truly will be one of the grand marshals, along with Nightspots’ own graysong and Michael Gabaldon. You never know, you may rope yourself a hot little steer (and by steer, I quite obviously mean an attractive sex partner).

To get ready for the rodeo, Alcala’s Western Wear held a fashion show on Friday night at Charlie’s. Conrad, in a last minute fit called me Friday morning to enlist me as a model in said show. Never having modeled, I gladly accepted the challenge (and more gladly accepted the free shots!) Fifi was in rare form as us boys sashayed our hides for the lively crowd. I SOOO wanted to steal the pullover shirt they had me wearing, but methinks I soon will own it outright. A large thanks to Alcala’s for gussying me up for the rodeo this year. I’ll do ya proud!
