From Fashion Shows to METRO Magazine, I had the beautiful coincidental pleasure of bumping into these two twins in ZARA; the SoHo location. It was somewhat of a dreary day for me because my bestie was being so indecisive on her entire wardrobe. And suddenly from my peripheral, I spot two very glamourously put together women. But of course, who else could it be but CoCo & Breezy (^-^). Complimenting my vest as walk, they made me wanna stop and talk. We stood and chit chat for a bit and from that moment I knew they were going to be a hit! We exchanged contacts with one another and said our good bye's as we departed our ways. But you cannot help but impliment the thought and idea that CoCo & Breezy are here to STAY! They've already left their mark in the dark. All you've gotta do is hitch and fix the glitch in that swith so the light can unveil what they have already prevailed. These two women are so illustrious and luminous, it conveys through their style. I guarantee you that they'll be around for more than a while. If you haven't been graced with their presence just yet, don't be upset. It's no sweat. They are now willing and able to share of piece of them with everyone because their empire has just begun. You can now fragment a portion of their culture through their site and take a bite of such tasty delight. http://www.cocoandbreezy.com THAT'S THE WEBSITE ;-)

These lusty Fashion Designers show no chance of stopping at any point soon so expect them to ravish you throughout the years to come. Not only are they such humble spirits but they have a sense of belief that will inspire a nation and the world sooner than later.

There's nothing i can find more sexcy than a young, handsome, intellectual man, with an actual attention span. Contemplating what he can. Making me aware of each sylable that comes from his mouth. I cant help but look down south when he speaks so i can spot if something peeks. Cause if it does, not only will i be excited, I'll be more than happi & delighted to aid the moment of excitement. But regardless of where my eyes fall at the moment, when i hear my dear, dahlak speak loud & clear.... it makes me aware that somewhere out there, somewhere on this sphere, i can find a sincere queer. No longer will i need to fear. Just kick back and have a beer.

Harvey Milk

Harvey Bernard Milk (May 22, 1930 – November 27, 1978) was an American politician and the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California, as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Politics and gay activism were not Milk's early interests; he did not feel the need to be open about his homosexuality or participate in civic matters until around age 40, after his experiences in the counterculture of the 1960s.

Milk moved from New York City to settle in San Francisco in 1972 amid a migration of gay men moving to the Castro District in the 1970s. He took advantage of the growing political and economic power of the neighborhood to promote his interests, and ran unsuccessfully for political office three times. His theatrical campaigns earned him increasing popularity, and Milk won a seat as a city supervisor in 1977, a result of the broader social changes the city was experiencing.

Milk served 11 months in office and was responsible for passing a stringent gay rights ordinance for the city. On November 27, 1978, Milk and Mayor George Mosconewere assassinated by Dan White, another city supervisor who had recently resigned but wanted his job back. Milk's rise to political power was as symbolic as it was real. His election signified and was made possible by a shift in San Francisco politics. The assassinations and the ensuing events were the results of continuing ideological conflicts in the city.

Despite his short career in politics, Milk became an icon in San Francisco and "a martyr for gay rights", according to University of San Francisco professor Peter Novak. In 2002, Milk was called "the most famous and most significantly open LGBT official ever elected in the United States". Anne Kronenberg, his final campaign manager, wrote of him: "What set Harvey apart from you or me was that he was a visionary. He imagined a righteous world inside his head and then he set about to create it for real, for all of us." Milk was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama on August 12, 2009.

Robert & the "BRAND"


Robert's Modifications

Your Name: Robert Cameron
Your EMail Address: mailto:rcameron@bellsouth.net
Your Place of Employment: local Catholic university (let's just leave it at that!)
Your Job Title: Systems Coordinator

Which Came First, The Modification Or The Library Job?
The job -- worked in libraries since 4th grade (unpaid!) through high school, got a job as a library page at NOPL in 1974, worked in libraries ever since.

The Story Behind Your Modification:
My tattoo is a PLUS sign with a pink triangle in the middle. It indicates that I am 1) HIV+ and 2) queer as I can be. I got tired of men who found me attractive until I told them about my status and, whoosh, they were gone. If Mr. Right doesn't get the significance of the tattoo I can't be bothered with him. So far I haven't found Mr. Right, but one has to look to find something...
Where Did You Get It?
A shop called Orleans Ink Tattoos and Body Piercing on Frenchmen Street in the Fauborg Marigny of N.O. I had called another tattoo parlor on N. Rampart Street and told them I was HIV+ and they said "no problem," but when I got there no one was available to tattoo me.... Anyway, went back home, looked up Orleans Ink, called and explained, they said "no problem," so within one hour I had the tattoo (my own not-terribly-original design).
When?
Fall 1996
Why?
See above. Although I'm not a big fan of tattoos (and don't get me started about body piercings), I also "branded" myself al la William F. Buckley's suggestion from the early '80s. I am proud to be queer and not afraid to disclose my HIV status, although since it's on my upper arm I have to be wearing a tank top or sleeveless shirt for anyone to see it, but honey, in New Orleans there are many opportunities to dress minimally all year round. Virtually everyone at work has seen it (and had to have it explained in most cases) and they still offer me bites of food (a N.O. custom), hugs and kisses, babies to hold, etc. so being HIV+ is not a stigma for me at work or anywhere else. Being queer doesn't exactly rest easy with the Church so that's why I'm not including the name of my employer, although I have come out as HIV+ (in 1996) and queer (in 1997) in the campus newspaper.
Also, during that period my best friend Glenn was dying and my tattoo was, for me, a symbol of solidarity with him and everyone else affected by HIV. A CURE HAS NOT BEEN FOUND, CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF!
