A FAB Article on Me



Last year, avery funny and talented writer Paul Bellini wrote an article about me for Fab, the gay magazine based in Toronto. He managed to capture my current career frustrations without making me sound like I was seconds away from putting my head in the oven. I got to meet Paul last year when I visited Toronto for Halloweek and he was great fun to talk with. He also showed me the spot on this statue where people rub this guy's naked butt for good luck.

"MAD" About the Girl



If you happen to be in Canada and you happen to be a fan of Mad Men, you may want to check out the cover story I wrote on Christina Hendricks for the October issue of the Canadian magazine Fashion. Hendricks plays resident office bombshell on the Emmy-winning drama and she's as smart and sassy in person as she is on the show. Hendricks didn't get an Emmy nod herself this year—none of the show's amazing ladies did, what the f---?—but that's bound to change in the future.



The full article is available only in the print version but some bonus Q & A material is currently up on Fashion's website. Check it out here.

My Xanadu Dream Come True



I just got the news that Xanadu on Broadway has announced its closing date. Well, it was fun while it lasted. This got me to thinking about my own Xanadu stage dream. In 2006, I was one of a gaggle of dancers who performed "Dancin'" in front of the screen at a screening of Xanadu at the Alex Theater in Glendale. The moment where I struck my ending pose and the crowd went nuts was probably the most purely blissful of these miserable Buch years.

A video of the event is on YouTube and you can check it out here. I'm the guy in the bright purple suit (purchased in Hong Kong during my cruise ship years--could barely fit in it). I also wrote about it at the time in several blogs on OutzoneTV.com.

A final Xanadu note: I recently got to interview Kira herself Olivia Newton John for Radio with a Twist. I asked her when was the last time she rollerskated and she said she hung up her skates after Xanadu because she broke her tailbone while making the movie. How did I never know that before? I feel like I got a Xana-scoop!
