¿NEED A CONDOM IN A HURRY?



If you're in the heat of the moment without the proper protection, iCondom is an iPhone app that helps you find the closest place that a condom can be purchased. 



MTV, the creators of iCondom, is also asking people who use the app to help rate condom retailers to make their app more effective. iCondom is part of an effort for the network's Staying Alive Foundation, which supports young people actively working on HIV awareness projects and initiatives around the world. 



FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT iCONDOM go to MyiCondom or Staying-Alive.org

¿IS BEING "GAY" A PERSONAL THING, A SEXUAL THING OR A LIFESTYLE THING?

GIVEN THE STATE OF THE GAY COMMUNITY: 
IS BEING GAY...

A PERSONAL THING,

A SEXUAL THING...

OR 

A LIFESTYLE THING





TRUE BLOOD: SEASON 4, EPISODE 11 - SOUL OF FIRE




Who else is hoping the Marnie story line wraps itself up in next week's season finale? Fiona Shaw has been wonderful on the show (awkward high-five!), but after this episode, my patience has grown as thin as Jessica's ("I’m so sick of silverin’ myself all day every day, being pissed off all the time. This is what PMS used to feel like"). And Pam's ("Can we blow up these Wiccan dips---s already? I got a mani-pedi at 4").


Let's begin with the Battle of Moon Goddess Emporium. After Marnie stabbed Casey, one of her innocent captives, in the chest with a knife, Antonia wanted to severe ties with her. Cue Lafayette's brilliant line, "Oh s---. Marnie just puked a bitch out," which I predict is already on a T-shirt somewhere. Lafayette was the only one who could see the argument, which ended with Marnie doing a binding spell to suck Antonia back into her. I'd like to think that look of indigestion Marnie had was Antonia working some kind of spell, like a stink bomb.

MONDAY MUSICAL MOTIVATION: MOVES LIKE JAGGER



"Moves Like Jagger" is a song by American band Maroon 5 featuring American pop singer Christina Aguilera. It was released for digital download on June 21, 2011 in conjunction with a live performance of the song on The Voice the same day. "Moves Like Jagger" was written by Adam LevineBenjamin Levin, Ammar Malik andShellback, and was produced by Shellback and Benny Blanco.[2] It was later included on a re-release of the band's third studio album, Hands All Over (2011). The song's lyrics refer to a male protagonist's ability to impress a female with his dance moves, of which he compares to those of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. "Moves Like Jagger" debuted at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100, therefore making it the band's first top-ten single since "Makes Me Wonder" (2007), and Aguilera's first top-ten since "Keeps Gettin' Better" (2008). The song was a number-one single on the United StatesCanadian and New Zealand charts and was also a top-ten hit in most countries that it charted. The song also marks the first time two former Best New Artist Grammy Award winners have collaborated on a Hot 100 hit. A music video directed by Jonas Akerlund was released on August 8th. The video not only features Christina Aguilera, but it also features some old video footage of Mick Jagger himself and his iconic moves. The single has so far peaked at number 1 in the US and number 3 in the UK. This is Aguilera's first number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in ten years, the last was "Lady Marmalade" (with PinkLil' Kim & Mýa



TRUE BLOOD: SEASON 4, EPISODE 10 - BURNING THE HOUSE DOWN



Tough luck for those of you who were eagerly anticipating Eric's return to sexy leather-clad Viking form. Tonight's True Blood gave us a respite from the tiring Eric/Sookie puppy love talk, as we learned that Marnie's role in Antonia's war is bigger than we'd ever thought. Before we dig in, you might notice that I am not supernatural sexpert Mandi Bierly— last we heard, she was kayaking her way to the Hoboken branch of Moon Goddess Emporium in the wake of Hurricane Irene. I hope you'll enjoy this emergency guest recap, even though I just so happen to be Team Alcide. Try to think of it as an Antonia/Marnie type of thing.

So it turns out all of those fancy corporate sponsorships and bottles of AB negative Nan scored for the Festival of Tolerance were for naught. The whole 'human guards with spilling entrails' gag sent the crowd into a panic, with humans, vampires, and witches alike caught in the bloody crossfire. Sookie ran through the crowd to stop a Mantonia-controlled Eric from snapping Bill's neck while Nan kicked ass, took a few names, and staked a bewitched vampire with a pencil.




TRUE BLOOD: SEASON 4, EPISODE 9 - RUN



So not surprisingly, Sookie survived being shot with a wooden bullet in the cemetery. At first, she was too far gone to take Bill’s blood, but after Bill and Alcide prayed offscreen (“Werewolf and a vampire, who’s gonna listen?” Alcide asked) she did. She eventually woke up, and I found myself wondering whether Bill had asked Alcide to go get a washcloth so he could clean his blood off her face. Thoughtful. Sookie’s first thought was of Eric, who Bill said was missing. Alcide had enough of Sookie risking her life for fangers and left. Sookie thanked Bill for giving her his blood, and he said anytime. I should have been anticipating a lust-filled dream, but mainly, my mind was still on how close Alcide’s head was to the ceiling when he walked out of her living room. It reminded me of studying abroad in London my junior year of college, and my flatmate Amy watching an NYPD Blue episode and suddenly addressing the TV: “Jimmy Smits, you a big tall man. Well alright." (That was 15 years ago, and I still impersonate her.)

CHANGE THE GAME



Professional athletes are models of strength and endurance, and heroes to the young athletes who look up to them. Unfortunately, the macho and homophobic world of sports doesn't breed model behavior. IN THE LIFE examines the message homophobic athletes send to young people on courts and fields across the country, and speaks with allies in professional sports who are standing up to put an end to it. Then, we follow a gay teenager on his journey from homelessness to college and meet the mentors who provide support on his way.



THE WORLD IS CHANGED...


THE WORLD IS CHANGED:


I FEEL IT IN THE WATER,

I FEEL IT IN THE EARTH,

I SMELL IT IN THE AIR…

MUCH THAT ONCE WAS LOST,
FOR NONE NOW LIVE WHO REMEMBER IT.
