Celeb sighting: Porn

After work yesterday, I went to the bar to meet up with Roommates A&J and Mahogany Sparkle. What I didn't realize was that the various Castro bars were hosting "tailgate" parties for the porn stars in town for tonight's GayVN Awards (sorta like the gay porn version of the Oscars). Each bar hosted a party for a different production company, and the bar where we gathered was no exception.

Imagine my surprise when I popped in and ran into a half-dozen 'roided up, botoxed muscle men! Among the "celebrities" gathered there were giant Erik Rhodes and Roman Heart. All sorts of little gays were getting their photos taken with them and one group asked me to snap their pic with a disposable camera they'd procured hastily from the Walgreens next door.

Approximately three years ago, I ran into a younger, fresher-faced version of Roman Heart and thought he was one of the most beautiful men I'd ever seen. But last night, it was abundantly clear that years of living the porn star lifestyle haven't treated him kindly. Maybe it was the meth-ridden face or the puffed out lips. I think it was just that he looked dead in the eyes (Maybe he needs a Top Model lesson from Tyra.). In any case, it was kind of fun to see these fellows out, but I really did have more fun just being loud with my friends.
