Outbound June 2010
It’s the most wonderful time of the year....it’s PRIDEFEST! I can’t believe it’s finally here! I just love hitting the grounds, drinking a few cold beers, meeting up with friends, laughing with Joan Rivers, drinking a few cold beers, eating corn dogs, hitting the dance tent, drinking a few cold beers...you get the idea. Not only is Pridefest and the Pride Parade before us, but it’s time for summer and that means one thing...time to break out the whore clothes. Right after I send this column to my boss and finish my double espresso (Is the Earth shaking or is it just me?), I’m going to unpack my flip-flops and thongs and welcome summer with open arms. Speaking of new duds, be sure to visit my cyber store for my line of pride T-shirts, caps and more. That’s cafepress.com/shopruthie! D ea r G u r l, I’m all for it!

Now eat good and shut up! heat to medium-low for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the onions are browned and caramelized. Allow onions to cool. Meanwhile, place cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise in medium bowl. Beat ingredients with a hand mixer until smooth. Stir onions into cream cheese mixture.

R u t h i e ’ s Cu l i n a r y C l u e s Do not use purple onions for this dip or you’ll have a purple/gray mess on your hands. If you’d like, stir a handful of chopped peanuts into the dip before serving or add a little grated Parmesan cheese. Nutella Brownies Nutella is that damn chocolate/ hazelnut spread that I eat with a spoon when I’m depressed. I think it’s one of the best things on earth, so you can image how happy I was when Enid sent this recipe. “Don’t leave yourself alone with these brownies,” Enid jokes. “You’ll eat the whole pan!” 4 large eggs 2 small containers of Nutella 1/2 cup butter, melted 2 teaspoons vanilla 2/3 cup flour 1 teaspoon baking powder Dash salt 1 cup chocolate chips 2 cups chopped pecans Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Enid suggests refrigerating the brownies overnight for best results. She also recommends sifting powdered sugar over the brownies for an extra touch.

There were so many past employees, board members, and long-time donors… it would have been a treat to see them celebrated for their continuing support and affiliation.

BEING BRITNEY Derrick Barry performs PrideFest By Jorge Treviano Derrick Barry has made a career out of being Britney Spears. His impersonation of the pop icon has landed him spots on numerous national TV programs including America's Got Talent, The Today Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and ABC's The Next Best Thing. Local fans can see him live when he brings his Britney show to Milwaukee Pride on Friday, June 11th. Derrick Barry grew up in Modesto, California where he trained as a gymnast from age five. At twelve, he traded the parallel bars for the theatre stage. In truth, it was the adrenaline he experienced from a cheering audience that inspired him to make the change. Barry also realized musical theatre gave him the opportunity to perform with his body and voice. Today, Barry utilizes that musical theatre background in his career as an impersonator. All of his stage performances incorporate live vocals, whether singing the numbers live or giving the audience an a cappella teaser. Barry’s career as an impersonator began seven years ago when he first dressed up as Britney Spears for Halloween. His impeccably accurate and choreographed impersonation of the pop princess seems to flow naturally. It has won him much praise – including from Britney herself. In fact, the second time he dressed up as Britney, Barry came face to face with the princess of pop. Britney applauded Barry’s impersonation of her when he danced while she was interviewed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Barry has even been featured several times on Britney’s official website. While on her recent Circus tour, Britney kept a copy of their shared magazine cover in her dressing room. The adoration is mutual. “Britney inspires me,” says Barry who shaved his head the day after Britney Spears shaved hers in a sign of solidarity. “Her music video concept for “...Baby One More Time” remains iconic. She proved her talent to the world and accomplished so much at a young age. I am excited to see what is next in her career.” As for Barry’s career, he recently added a new pop icon to his six-nights-a week “Divas Las Vegas” show: Lady Gaga. “I am huge fan of her music,” he says, acknowledging that a significantly greater amount of effort is required in order to create an accurate representation of Lady Gaga, the artist. “I spend hours creating crazy costumes and perfecting her elaborate make-up tricks,” continues Barry. On his days off, when not working on his vocals or choreography, Barry can usually be found adorning his costumes with Swarovski crystals. The persistence has paid off. “Lady Gaga told me I was beautiful. She was shocked to learn that I do my own make-up.” Before Barry added live vocals to his Gaga act, he apologized to Lady Gaga for lip syncing to her music. She responded, “It's okay, because if you didn't, you drag queens would put us out of business." Her job is safe. Derrick Barry’s ultimate career goal is not only in music. It’s actually in comedy. More specifically, he’d love to land a role on Saturday Night Live. “Fans are surprised to learn that I am more like Jim Carrey in my normal life. I am always hiding around corners, scaring people, or making funny faces and voices. I love to get a laugh.” In the meantime, he’s enjoying being part of the resurgence of the impersonation industry. He credits icons like RuPaul who he says has made the art of impersonation a huge part of today’s culture. Derrick Barry is busier than ever, too. In addition to his “Divas Las Vegas” show, he headlines “Boys n Barry Sundaes” in Las Vegas every Sunday night at Krave nightclub. This summer, he is embarking on his second USA tour – a Britney Spears and Lady Gaga tribute – that will hit twenty cities including Wilmington. Female impersonation has opened doors for the young actor/singer/dancer. It has brought him in front of leading directors, producers and entertainers. Derrick Barry believes the exposure will eventually lead him to his ultimate goal in comedy. For now, he truly has the best of both worlds. Doesn’t everyone dream of being a pop icon?

I hope we all have a great time at pride this year. And being the month which has pride in it, I want to urge all of you to help support the groups and people who put on this great party for us all. First off you have the Parade, this year the parade will be held on 2nd street on Sunday June 13th, with step off taking place on 2nd and Greenfield Avenue at 2:00pm and ending just north of 2nd and Oregon Avenue. For more information on the Pride Parade, contact them through their website at www.prideparademke.com. We also have PrideFest which is held at Henry Maier Festival Park on Milwaukee’s lakefront, during June 11th through the 13th. For more information on PrideFest contact them through their website at www.pridefest.com. Well, now that I have gotten all that out of the way, let’s get to talking about what you really read this column for . . . piercings and tattoos! This month I figured the best thing I could do is talk about one of the more popular piercings, the Tongue piercing. The roots of tongue piercing are not really the clear it is a relatively new permanent piercing. I say permanent because there are some tribes and cultures in India who have pierced for hundreds of years I am sure, but they only pierce it during ceremonies, they do not place jewelry in and allow it to heal. From what I have been able to find out most of the time the skewer they use to pierce the tongue is usually in for no longer than thirty minutes. The tongue piercing started to gain popularity during the 70’s in Britain with the punk movement. The punks then brought the tongue piercing the America when the movement began to die in Europe and flourish here in the USA. The tongue piercing is usually done in the center of the tongue, although this piercing can be done in the sides of the tongue as well, but keep in mind that just because this is a very common piercing it is actually one of the most technically difficult piercing for a piercer to perform. There are many large blood vessels that if struck can wreak havoc on the body and cause major bleeding which would need a doctor to fix! The tongue is relatively painless and heals extremely quick, usually in about 3-6 weeks. Now let’s get to the part you all want to know, what you can use your tongue piercing for! The tongue piercing can be a very sensual thing, well unless you get it stuck on your partner’s jewelry. (Not that I have ever had that happen to me.) It can be highly erotic just to see and even more to feel. For obvious reasons the tongue piercing is best put to use during oral sex, although some people have reservations about oral sex when jewelry is involved. Some people say that the steel doesn’t feel comfortable against their skin; well we have a solution to that gripe. Jewelry companies have made products called French ticklers for a long time. What they are is little pieces of silicon molded into interesting shapes like spiky balls, atoms, and ribbed domes. These ticklers take the hard cold edge off the barbell and replace it with a soft squishy feeling. So from now on you have no reason to refuse head from someone with a tongue piercing. (Of course I don’t think any of my readers would refuse head from a fat blind man with leprosy, so I guess that last line doesn’t mean much.) Well that’s about it when it comes to tongue piercing so let’s get on to something else. Well I think I’ve got enough room for some reader mail so let’s see what we have. Dear Brent, Here is my question. . . How do you do piercings? I don’t mean the actual act of it, but more so how did you get into the job and how can you force yourself to hurt people for a living. --Abe Well Abe, you ask a very hard question to answer, so let’s start with your first question. I got exposed to body piercing when I was very young through national geographic magazines and tribal themed television shows. I was hooked at that point and learned everything I could about tribal cultures. I didn’t know it back then but I know now that I needed piercing and tattooing in my life from the first moment I saw it. From there, once I turned 18 I walked into Avant-Garde and got my tongue pierced, at the time I said it would be the only piercing I would ever get. (God was I wrong) From there I starting hanging out at the shop, eventually I started working at the shop for free just so that I could have an excuse to be there and learn something new. Then one day the owner Jim asked me if I wanted to work at the shop and actually get paid to do it, of course I jumped at the chance and now that chance has led me into a partial ownership of Avant-Garde. As for your second question all I can really say is that you have to have a certain mentality to do this job. It’s not really about hurting people, but you do have to have the will to be comfortable around pain. That’s about all I can say, thanks for the letter Abe. I think I have now run out of room for this month, So Don’t forget about the Pride Parade or Pridefest, visit their websites for more information www.prideparademke.org and www.pridefest.com. Please also don’t forget you can reach me anytime by e-mail at [email protected]. Just put Skin & Steel in the subject line, and remember you can e-mail me about anything (except Brazilian far fetish porn). Sorry about that I got caught in a south park YouTube loop today J. Thanks and have a great month of June and have a fun and safe Pride Weekend. XXX DVD RELEASES G e tt i n g L ev i ’ s J o h n s o n & U n l o a d ed G e t t i n g L e v i ’ s J o h n s o n , Jet Set Men It was just a matter of time before someone decided to spoof Levi Johnston’s now infamous – not to mention disappointing — P l a y g i r l photo spread. With tongue firmly in cheek, Jet Set Men’s Chris Steele unleashes G e t t i n g L e v i ’ s J o h n s o n which stars Levi look-alike Casey Monroe plus the stunning Lisa Ann, who starred in Hustler’s W h o ’ s N a i l i n’ Pa y l i n ? Levi (Monroe) has a tough decision to make: Is he or is he not going to get nekkid for his photo shoot for Play Dude magazine. While in Iowa peddling her book, Levi’s famous, almost mother-in-law tosses in her two cents: “If you take off that jockstrap and you show the whole world your (giggles) winkie (smirk), you’ve got my full support!” And yet Levi still isn’t convinced. Perhaps Levi’s backstage security guard, Mark Dalton, can offer some advice. As luck would have it, Mark himself is a former Play Dude cover model, circa 2006. When Levi doesn’t remember Mark’s layout, Mark is happy to show off the goods: he strips, flexes, strokes and puts on quite a show for an admiring Levi. Turns out Dalton must have been able to work out in prison. Meanwhile, at the offices of Vanity Flair magazine, Dallas Reeves is preparing for a different sort of photo shoot with Levi. First, however, he has to fend off a crank call from Paylin requesting naughty pictures of Levi. After Dallas puts hardworking underwear model Brent Corrigan through a grueling audition, it is time to discipline his twittering assistant Luke Marcum. In a flash Luke is on his knees before his boss, sucking cock like his job depended on it. All Dallas can do is moan appreciatively as Luke detours past the ‘taint and makes a happy meal of Dallas’ winking pucker. No case of sexual harassment here: Luke eagerly takes a rough ride on Dallas’ thrusting manmeat. Then for good measure, Luke turns the tables on Dallas and shows him just who the boss is. Thanks to a clever montage sequence, Levi’s Vanity Flair shoot is quickly dispensed. A worn out Levi is left hanging out on the office building balcony with Brent Corrigan. Just two guys having a casual smoke. Evidently Brent passed his audition. The fun and games really begin when Levi whips out his long, ropey dick and Brent wastes no time getting little Levi up to full attention. When Levi takes over, he lays Brent out like a Thanksgiving turkey ready to be stuffed. Brent encourages Levi to slobber over his primed piston, urging him to tongue his full nutsack. It’s just a matter time before Brent is bent over the balcony ledge, Levi burying his sheathed battering ram deep into Brent. Levi is relentless, pounding Brent until he eventually pops his nut. Serra Paylin might slam Levi’s porn career on national television but privately she advises him to follow her motto, “Take the money and run.” Later, she recalls an episode from Levi’s high school days setting up a flashback sequence featuring the totally fuckable Landon Mycles and Tommy G. Not sure how this relates to Levi, since Levi ain’t even in the scene. Landon and Tommy are just two hot high school boys hanging out in the locker room. Landon admires Tommy’s physique. What could be more normal? As it happens, the feeling is mutual. One thing leads to another and before they know it, they’re comparing cocksucking techniques, a contest which Landon wins hands down. When Tommy finally shows some attention to Landon’s quivering prong, he clearly has an ulterior motive: he’s got a couple fingers priming Landon’s sphincter. Tommy works up quite a sweat, splitting apart Landon’s muscular butt cheeks and nailing him good and proper until the cute hockey bitch fires off a real gusher. Taking Serra Paylin’s advice, Levi strips down to his hockey strap for Play Dude photographer Jesse Santana. Once the shoot’s finished, Levi can’t wait to show off what a great ass he has. Jesse puts his own butt up for comparison and pretty soon this is a contest everyone wins, especially the massive Diesel Washington who is content, for a while, to watch as Jesse engulfs Levi’s uncut meat. Later Levi and Jesse double team Diesel’s rock hard man-drill, leading to some good old fashion tag team fucking. There’s really no position these three don’t manage to get up to. Levi might wish he’d win “bottom of the year” but the way he sledgehammers Jesse’s perfect ass is something fierce. The bland circlejerk finale is a surprisingly limp conclusion to an otherwise solid scene. Chris Steele has great fun lampooning Levi and the former Vice Presidential candidate. Casey Monroe brings a nice “ah-shucks” charm to this rather less inhibited Levi and there’s an absolutely hilarious comic turn from Palin-doppelganger Lisa Ann. Add for good measure five solid sex scenes offering the likes Mark Dalton, Brent Corrigan and Diesel Washington and G e t t i n g L e v i ’ s J o h n s o n really couldn’t miss. Rating **** of ***** U n l o a d e d , Raging Stallion Junkyard sex is the order of the day in Andrew Rosen’s recent Raging Stallion feature, U n l o a d e d . When Ryan Patrick takes a break, he soon has his dick out and a handy toilet plunger buried deep up his rectum. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. He’s interrupted by his dark, furry colleague Antonio Biaggi who offers his own uncut plunger for the job. Austin Wilde discovers his pants torn at the crotch after he and the gun totin’ Cameron Adams carry in a suspicious looking body bag. The next scene finds Cameron catching Dominic Pacifico spit polishing Brandon Lewis’ stiffing prick and he decides to join in. The final scene offers a novel set-up: Christian Wilde unzips the body bag, out pops totally naked Ethan Storm, a lad in need of warming up. This 2-disc set offers an embarrassment of extra riches including a blistering bonus scene featuring Rafael Alencar and François Sagat plus a half a dozen solos.
