For the love of: Gus and Waldo

Posted on by

Once a week, I post about something I’m loving (tv, movies, books, art, photos, romances, authors, or anything else) that I’ve seen or read about recently. So here is this week’s For the love of …

GusWaldoLogo GusAndWaldo

Today I’m loving Gus and Waldo, two gay penguins in a monogamous relationship. They are silly but cute enough to make me smile.

If you haven’t seen them before, check out their site at: www.gusandwaldo.com. They have books, T-shirts, and a video on YouTube that is adorable with a sexy way to deal with spiders. I haven’t read the books (just seen the previews on their site), but the YouTube video is fun.

So has anyone out there read the books? Have you seen Gus and Waldo before? Comment or send me an email. I’d love to know what you think.

Thanks for stopping!

Video I love: Old Levi’s Commercial

Once a week, I post a video I’ve seen recently that I’m loving. So here’s this week’s Video I love …

I was talking with a friend the other day about a subject I’ve mentioned on this blog before: the lack of positive gay imagery in US commercials. When gay men and women are shown, they are often depicted as over-the-top stereotypes to get a laugh. That’s why I like this commercial. It’s a sexy gay version of a het Levi’s commercial. I’m not sure on what channels or when this aired, but it’s still nice to look at, and I can appreciate what they were trying to do. Once in awhile I like to tune in to the cable channel Logo just to see commercials that reflect my own life.

What do you think? Are there other commercials you’ve seen recently that do a good job of including gay men or women in a positive way? Comment or send me an email. I’d love to hear from you.

Video I love: A hero named Philip

A man named Philip once fought for the country he loves. Now, he fights for equal rights for one of his four sons. It’s a beautiful speech. If you haven’t seen it yet, please take a moment to watch.

“The woman at my polling place asked me do I believe in equality for gay and lesbian people. I was pretty surprised to be asked a question like that. It made no sense to me. Finally I asked her, ‘What do you think I fought for in Omaha Beach?'”

Philip Spooner, an 86 year old WWII veteran

Now, that’s a hero.

Comment or send me an email. I’d love to hear from you.

Video I love: A Day at the Office

Once a week, I post a video I’ve seen recently that I’m loving. So here’s this week’s Video I love …

This week’s video is a fun one.  I could see some of the people I used to work with doing this. Especially when we worked in a small cubicle-filled room that no one ever visited, or even walked by. We had some good times in that room. And that’s all I’m going to say on the subject for fear of incriminating myself.

I do have to wonder if I would have been the woman just sitting there or one of the others actually goofing off? I would like to think I’d be having a ball and not worrying about my work, but I’ve been told I’m a worker bee and I tend to be focused on getting things done. Darn. Well, at least I was pretty wild in my younger days. Now, I sit in front of my laptop most of the time. Good thing I spend a lot of it using my imagination.

I’d love to hear from others. Watch the video and tell me…Would you be one of the singers or the woman answering her phone?
