LITTLE ROCK GLBT FILM FEST JUNE 23 - 24 2007

I hope alot of you will turn out and support the FILM FEST to be held in LITTLE ROCK at EASY STREET PIANO BAR.It is to be held June 23 and June 24.Beginning at Noon each day and lasting into the evening Non Stop Film showing for our community.Several years ago when I first started in business Twisted Entertainment was strictly a video store.That was 21 years ago.No one else dared to put gay films on the shelf.I had the X-Rated stuff of course but also sought out the titles that would appeal to the Gay Community that I considered mainstream.It never entered my mind that the majority of arkansas straight folk would frown upon Gay People watching Gay Films.My store was the first to bring GLBT viewing material to our community.I want to thank all of you for the many years of Video and DVD sales and rentals and ask you all to help make this GLBT FILM FEST in LITTLE ROCK a GREAT SUCCESS.

KILT KEWLNESS

Another way to stay Kewl this Hot summer is by wearing a Kilt.Their are many types of kilts these days for men that are truly manly enough to get away with it.You can go with the traditional scottish tribal plaids or the southern redneck camoflage.The redneck kilts are available in A TWISTED GIFT SHOP but we must insist you try it on before you buy it.Letting us take a picture is optional of course.The great thing about kilt wearing is it is tradional to not wear any underwear with them.This of course will help keep your body cooler in that particular area of the body and of course if your cooler there and your wearing your flip flops and your feet are cooler then you are well on your way to being as Kewl as you possibly can be.

KEEP YOUR FEET COOL

Close to one fourth of your bodies sweat glands are located in your feet.As it is getting hotter than blue blazes in the Little Rock area it would be a good idea for you to start wearing sandals or flip flops.They allow your feet to breathe and be cooler which allows the rest of your body to feel cooler.A wide variety of very cool looking Flip Flops are available most everywhere these days.The important thing is to show those feet off.If your feet look to nasty to show off then you have even more reason to get busy now... clean those feet ...scrub them...spruce them up...make them eye appealing ...and buy yourself some hot looking sandals or better yet a pair of flip flops ... and let those feet work for you to keep your body feeling cooler all summer.We are on track to have one of the hottest summers ever so we should be seeing more skin than ever.Enjoy.

MILITARY DAYS in FULDA GERMANY

The Picture with this post shows me doing the Military Police thing.I was guarding the Main Entrance to the base in FULDA GERMANY on a snow covered day somewhere in the neighborhood of 27 years ago.I enjoyed my time in the Military and especially my time in Germany.It was so interesting to explore a new land and meet people who were so different from those living here in the USA.Fulda is a Most Wonderful and Very Beautiful Hidden Treasure of the planet.I have a friend who has posted a webshot album of the city showing a small portion of the architecture that can be found there.His name is Klaus and if you want to view his pictures of FULDA check out http://community.webshots.com/album/33959328sLNmuU .

Memorial Day and Soldiers Angels

Memorial Day which use to be called Decoration Day is suppose to be the Day we honor those who have died serving our country in combat.I served in the Military for 10 years.I was a Soldier in the Army and I was Gay.A lot of gay people have served in the military or have relatives who have died in service to this great nation.Having served in the Army for 10 years and having that attraction to the Military Uniform my heart goes out to all soldier's living and dead.I have chosen to support our Soldiers of today by adopting one of them through a wonderful organization called SOLDIERS ANGELS check them out at http://soldiersangels.org/ .The soldier I adopted happens to be in Iraq and his name is Nathaniel.I send him a care package every 3 - 4 weeks.It's really a very small and easy thing to do.

MR. BILL at ARKANSAS STATE CAPITOL

Mr. Bill ( no not bill clinton) was at the Arkansas State Capitol May 24Th for a look around.It was bound to happen sooner or later.It was just luck that Mr. Bill was returning from his week long stay over in TENNESSEE.Mr. Bill was seen at Nashville's United Record Pressing Plant (one of the nations last vinyl record pressing plants left in the country) and from there traveled to Lynchburg for some Jack Daniels before heading to Memphis to visit Graceland and enjoy the Memphis in May Celebration.Somehow being so close to Little Rock and the State Capitol was to much for Mr. Bill to pass up.Mr. Bill never could pass up an adventure.You to can enjoy a tour of the State Capitol.Feel free to check out http://www.sos.arkansas.gov/index.html

DOUBLE - YOLKED EGGS or JUST YOUNG CHICKS

I always assumed Double Yolk Eggs were a Rare Thing in Life.The other night A Dozen Eggs were purchased at a local Kroger store.I put three of those Eggs in a pan to boil and went about my business to prepare the rest of the nights meal.I was not to surprised when I pealed the shell off the first egg and found a Double Yolk inside so I chopped the egg up and destroyed the evidence but then I pealed the second Egg and another Double Yolk and then I pealed the third Egg and I be dag gummed if another Double Yolk didn't appear.I wish I hadn't chopped the first Egg up but I did get a Picture of the other Two. I actually believe the whole Dozen may be Double Yolks.Time will tell as I am not going to eat 12 Eggs in One Day to find out.The answer may be on the Frequently Asked Question page of GOLDEN VALLEY FOODS LTD. website check it out if your so inclined. http://www.goldenvalley.com/faq.html
