In the first third of the Franco-Canadian film I Killed My Mother all you will be thinking is: How fucking annoying is this kid?! But while the intimate family drama progresses you start to understand why this unbarebly dramatic character of Hubert is the way he is. I would call this a very special relationship to a mother and it makes me once again appreciate my own family for being quite nice and normal (in a very Northern way).
I was a bit skeptical about this movie at first, especially because I don’t like a lot of fighting and shouting and hysteric behaviour. But it’s really smart and well acted. I’m very impressed with 21 year old writer, director and actor Xavier Dolan who put a lot of autobiographical elements into the story. Brilliant! Stills, trailer and play times in Berlin after the jump.

Last night the It Boys had their first party at HBC Kino. Balloons, confetti, wigs, dresses and heels (more than there were girls), trashy pop music and cute boys and girls. What I particularily liked about this party: In the end everyone seemed to have befriended themselves with everyone. Don’t remember that ever happening at a public party.
Of course the It Boys tried to convince me to put make-up on which I wasn’t willing to do (didn’t match my top…). But what I did try on was nail polish by Uslu Airlines from Berlin in a bright smurfy turquoise blue. It looks kind of fun actually

Friends of mine are throwing a fancy new gay party at HBC tonight (Friday) in the Kino. It’s called It Boys! The superficial observer might think they are just a bunch of trashy queens so full of themselves that they have to celebrate their self-acclaimed It-boy status. But far from it! What they are really doing is questioning what is perceived as cool, stretching the definition of masculinity to new shapes and most of all: not taking themselves serious at all! I think there has been a need for a night like this for a long time now, where you can dress up, dance to trashy pop music and actually have some serious fun! RSVP here.

The Arm & Sexy party has been going on for a bit over 2 years now already. Last night was my third time already and for me it was the best one so far. It once again took place in a traditional German pub including its antique staff (which is a fun alternative to the hip young bar tenders in the usual spots but with their speed you wait forever for your drinks). I really enjoy the people that come to this undergroundy party, a nice relaxed mix of all types with a high percentage of gay guys who are mostly (but this strongly depends on the night) of the hip variety. More impression snatched from Glamcanyon over at the jump. Stay tuned to our party guide if you don’t want to miss the next one.

On Saturday at the opening party of the .HBC one of the live acts was PnP which I introduced you to a few months back. I loved them back then and I love them even more after this performance. Their theme for the concert was hate against gays and lesbians by conservative Christian communities in the States. I was talking to some friends later and they were bored that the band brought up this topic of homophobia again. It’s quite ignorant actually because this is not only a reality in the conservative Hinterland of the United States but also here in the streets of Berlin.
And this is a sad truth I was confronted with recently here in the subway in Mitte. I was party hopping with friends – a bunch of flamboyant guys – when we got harassed and attacked by a group of homophobic idiots. One of us got even pushed onto the railway tracks. This was actually the first time in my life I have experienced something like that and I was quite shocked. So yes, even here in Berlin this is a topic that never gets old.
Impressions of a powerful performance after the jump.

My first thoughts when I considered going to the Le Petit Pö pool party at the Bar 25 Spa were that a) I should not have any kind of cake for breakfast on Sunday and b) that I should go to the gym before. Well, too bad that the Cupcake Lady decided to give me some cheesecake and banana bread for free that morning, just to torture me. She knows I won’t say no. And secondly what was I expecting to change with one day at the Gym? Well, at least I went…
So, at the party we got what the flyer promised. Sexy people splashing in the pool, a champagne bar, a BBQ and a cute little dancefloor with Disco music. Some more impressions after the jump. They involve some raunchy positions…

A colourful gathering and lots of rain! It is CSD weekend and the whole city seems to be gay. Furthermore, regardless of the fact that this summer just seems to let us down, almost everything takes place outside.
Starting with Bar 25 on Thursday evening (yes, today!) and a cosy barbeque with Beaner with music by Function (Berghain) and Jin Choi for those of you who don’t mind bad weather. Until 23h there will be a BBQ grill and non dance music for a day in the sun (or rain). At 23h the party train arrives and doesn’t leave until you do! More parties as usual after the click.

Who needs a gay Indianer if they can have a gay Hitler? Well, with all the gayness going on in this city there is one show that really stands out, and that not only because it is being advertised like madness: The Producers, an Austrian musical production based on the cult movie of the same name by Mel Brooks, is now playing at Admiralspalast. If you like musicals you will have a lot of fun with this one. Especially the Hitler musical within the musical is absolutely hilarious. More images after the jump.

So, apparently there are still people in this town that have a problem with those of the homosexual persuasion. How did that happen? One of these haters is a cafe owner at Nollendorfplatz (yeah, I know, of all the places in the city THIS would be my pick too if I had a problem with gays) who just recently sent off a lesbian couple that was kissing in front of his cafe. Buh, those dirty lesbians! He did this out of respect for immigrants and children he claims. Yeah, right!
So to protest against this unacceptable behavior lesbians, gays and undecided are called to come together in front of Dolce Freddo on Saturday at Maaßenstr. 6 at 14h sharp and give each other a kiss. Gays and lesbians are not allowed to switch partners amongst each other on this occasion as this would totally ruin the concept. Although it would still be a homosexual kiss in my book, but anyways…
And if you need to warm up for this kissing flashmob, or if you need to lead into a more intimate kissing at night, Suz has some pretty gay party recommendations for you after the bump.
