Dorsey Does Your Body Good
Dorsey’s Bath & Body Works

(718) 736-5028
I had the pleasure of being invited to Shawn Dorsey’s Unveiling of his new body works line. I must tell you I did not know what to expect as I prepared to attend this event. What I did now is I am very into
bath & body items designed make you feel good, and give you smooth glowing skin. Dorsey accomplished his vision and made his body line work for him on this event. I first thought he only created his body works line for men, and I fast learned he has a line for women as well. I know some effeminate men who would love and live for his female’s line.
It is important to not only have a healthy mind but just as important to have a healthy body on the inside & out. Dorsey is no magic man but he was able to succeed where others big names has failed. His body works line did just that, and the big boyz need to watch out for him, because he is coming, he is here, and is a force to reckon with. The Body Shop and Bath & Body Works can’t hold a match to him, and as a long time customer of both I will now sink my coins in Dorsey’s Body Works line from now on.
He was quite the salesman and not one person who attended walked out without making a purchase. His presentation from visual to samplings was the icing on the cake. I enjoyed observing the personalized attention he gave to all of his clients, and even held the attention of the youthful.
He has a great line with body scrubs, massage lotions, and my personal favorite shower washes. He also makes perfumes, and I found his prices to be very reasonable. The variety of fragrances smelled delicious, and as he presented it, and we tried the samples I found myself wanting to take a bit of myself. It not only had a great smell, but smelled like it would taste good too. He uses the finest ingredients, and puts his competition to shame. It was not heavy with oils! It was more so light in intensity, and far more effective than anything I have used in the past. The only product to even come close is Carol’s Daughter which is far more pricy.
Gumlicious: Strawberry, Banana, and Raspberry
Her: Zenzo Flowers
Sweet Apple: Apples
Mr. Riddles: Vanilla and Coconuts
The best thing about his line is he has more new body works products in the making, and I am confident they will be just as popular as the products already in production.
I was further impressed by the support he receives from his partner Verdale, and other key members of Life Boys which Dorsey is a active member of.
(I just love when good plains comes together, and materializes)
While talking to him he fast learns his Sweet Apple line tickled my fancy most. He presented him me with that entire line. (Wash, Scrub & Massage Lotion) I love it all but his Sweet Apple line caught my attention. After giving me that line I could not wait to get home, jump in the tub, and see just how good his line is. I have to admit I was even more impressed. Not only did the Sweet Apples feel good, and felt like silk on my skin. I was most delighted when after my bath the scent did not leave my body, and as I woke up this morning and started to write this blog could still smell it. This is where the big names like The Body Shop & Bath & Body Works fail to deliver. I almost did not want to leave the tub, and stayed in so long I came out wrinkled like a prune. The aroma filled my apartment, and if this was a cleaning product I’d be cleaning my crib often. LMAO!
I am looking forward to talking more with Dorsey, and informing you when and where he will be doing other presentation so you can judge for yourself. The Pride Network stands with him, and gets my Endorsed seal of approval.
To see and order Dorsey’s Bath & Body Works line you can contact him on myspace at myspace.com/dorseybathbody or give him a call (718) 736-5028. He's ready to ship your products to you directly upon the receipt of payment
On a final note I am looking forward to trying out these products on the next date that presents a chance for something more than simple instant sexual gratification. This the kind of product you will enjoy not only buying for yourself but buying them as gifts for others not just for romantic purposes.

Dwight Allen O’Neal Turns 20ish!
The house was packed with party goers to help Dwight celebrate his Birthday and your boi BBOP was there talking to the attendee’s. I first want to thanks Dwight for inviting The Pride Network to cover this Event.
First there was a 10th hour venue change which was not the best thing for my network. After promoting this event for over a month the venue changed from the posh Grace Hotel to Madame X on East Houston Street. Madame X is an intimate little spot, and did serve the purpose, if anybody had to a choice as to where this event should have been held overwhelming I think people would have chose Grace. After all someone as great as Dwight should be held in brightest light, and hold his events in the finest of locations. For whatever reason I am still happy the event was a success.
Much talk was delivered after the event and the next couple of days some good & others not. I believe you make the best of all situations & I don’t complain. After all I make your own time good or bad, and if people are not enjoying themselves which I did not see at this event than one can choose to leave. I saw happy faces, and people enjoying the company around them. I also witnessed great support for Dwight as he turned a year older. Happy Birthday baby boi! Hit up www.futureforward.net
At the start of the festivities I along with Nathan 7 recording for the Future Forward interviewed many in attendance. I was blessed to have interview Mega Body. The Sexy Author with a new book about to drop titled “A PASSION TO LIVE AND LOVE” Mega is a sexy erotic dancer, and have even indulged Rap music. I was also blessed to have interviewed his Fiancé, and baby I see an acceptance in to admitted Bi-sexual couple having a solid relationship. Not ashamed to explore their desires to be with someone of the same sex. Most Bi sexual men wait a life time to have a relationship in which they are free to be who they are. They are blessed to have found one another. I love their energy & support of each other. Many can learn from their rare behavior. Mega was one of the models sporting The Tee, and I enjoyed talking to him. I loved seeing him so close to naked and so up close and personal.
Lee Gregory Launched a fabulous underwear line (The Tee). Those that don’t know my opinion on under garments let me school you. As a sexual and erotic being I love to see sexy underwear on a man who I am courting, getting intimate with, or trying to have a long term relationship. I have been known to give just because gifts to the men of my past. I have gone as far as to buy matching drawz in appropriate styles for me & my mate. Giving a man sexy underwear really sends the message I want you to put these on so I can have fun taking them off. Low rise bikini briefs for him and trunks for me. Care to cuddle with me in our sexy drawz?
I talk to all of the models attached to this event which included Nick, Stanley, and Angelo. All were young sexy with tight bodies and the filled The Tee skivvies out nicely in both the front and back. The models shared they were relevantly new to the game, and desires to get further into modeling on various levels. Check out Lee Gregory’s underwear line “The Tee” at www.the-tee.com
Likwuid, Lynne of Royalty Media Group, LLC sponsored this event, and did one hell of a good job. Likwuid, and newest member of Rebel Starr provide great music. Haywood did his usually great job at meet, greet, and steering. Connect with Royalty Media groups at www.royaltymedia.net
I want to give a special thanks to the photographer, and you can check out the web site www.luxurypaparazzi.com
Others in attendance were:
Hip Hop Artist Baron, Sonny Lewis, Last Offence, JR, King Jabbarr and I was surprised to meet Anye Elite who tracks I was just introduced to, and plan to have a more in-depth interview with him on a later occasion. Bry’nt was in the house too, and preformed. Having both Bry’nt and JR in the same place at the same time was interesting and being they rival each other the tension so thick you could cut it with a knife. I am happy to say they behaved as gentlemen.
Authors, writer, film makers, singers, and promoters blessed the event to the tune of Jamel Tutler, Steven Emmanuel, Nathan James, Delvon Johnson, Marc Angel, James Saunders, Richard Phelzer, Cornelius life Jones, and so many others.

I am what I am!I can’t be who I want to be!
I am what I am!I can’t be who I want to be!
Why oh why do many men continue to identify themselves as Bisexual when they have not been with the opposite sex in many years, and express they have no desire to be with a female, but continue identifying as bisexual.
So Why Identify as Bisexual instead of Gay?
What do you think?
Why does this behavior exist?
Is it more socially acceptable to identify as Bisexual? Is it ones way of staying connected to the heterosexual community? Only you can answer that question for yourself.
(Why ID at all)
Maybe it is easier to lie to ones self; making it easier to lie to those around you!
(Why ID at all)
In this age of sexual openness why keep up the lie, and give the people around you the misconception of being something you no longer are?
(Why ID at all)
I do this much the sigma’s, and discriminations that are attached to identifying yourself as Gay can be too much to some to deal with, and saying I am Bi sexual is might be more socially acceptable. Is it really? I guess that would depend on who you are trying to gain the acceptance of. Some are totally okay with the choices others make for their own lives, and then you have those who have a one track minded way of thinking. They are such unfortunates! I have very strong feeling about those people because they totally take away the chance of not only getting to know a good person, but they also make other feel uncomfortable about themselves. They say things like “That is nasty” or “You are going to burn in hell”, and my person favorite “The bible says man is made to be with a woman” When they say that one I take great pleasure in asking if God himself told you that. Of course they say no so I tell them to let me know when get the official word from God himself. Until that time please don’t tell me about the bible and what was meant according to God. The bible was written by man, and it is man that interprets it based on their own need to manipulate the minds of others.
The ones I am most disturbed by are Gay who feels they have an obligation to out those who are not yet ready to come out. They will have sex with a bi-sexual man, a closeted man, or a man on the down low, and spread the word. They tell their friends who tell the next one until it gets back to the dudes girlfriend, family, home boys, and co workers. That is just wrong! So I can’t put all of the blame of ignorance, sigmas, and discriminations totally on the heterosexual community. We play a vital role in this as well. We are help to stigmatize our kind, because we are sending the wrong message to the greater community. When we out others who are not ready to come out we hurt the chances of them becoming comfortable with the idea of being Gay, and just because we have found our level of comfort with ourselves doesn’t mean other have or should have the same comfort. Everybody has their own process, and must be granted the right to make their own choices. We have to let them come out when it is right the time for them, and not when we think it is the right time.
There is one area where I think it should be all about the person, and he should be given much room to be selfish, self centered and self serving. (I know I said the same thing 3 times, but it needed to be repeated). We should not empower ourselves to make that decision for them or try to force them in out into the open. When we do that we only succeed in pushing them not only further into the closet, but right into the arms of females. We take away the possibility of them ever embracing the lifestyle of a Gay man. Is that what we want? So be patient, and it may happen one day. We have to create an environment that is patient, loving, and accepting. I personal tell a man who struggles with their sexuality that it is okay to stay confined, and in a shell. When you are ready to come out of your shell you will find a wealth of love just waiting for you. At times I don’t always think I’m being honest, but I am showing the best parts of our community. Even though I know not everyone in our Gay community is the greatest of people. I won’t peg everyone as sneaky, conniving, and manipulative, but I am honest enough to say those type of people do exist in our community.
People need to keep in mind that a man who has these feelings may never come out, and it is more comfortable to live a double life. I believe it is not an honest way to live but it is what it is, and we can either accept it or not, but we don’t have the right force another to do anything they are not ready to do for themselves. It is our responsibility to give them support and help them along with their personal process as they see fit to allow our assistance. Nothing more, and nothing less!

2009 Out Music Awards
The OMA’s was a great event, and I had a wonderful time! I was not only an observer, and I was a presenter as well. I always have a great time whenever I attend an event at Webster Hall located in the fabulous East Village at 125 East 11th Street. From the Red Carpet to the Pre-show to the Gala hosted by Rodney Chester of Noah’s Arc, and Kate Clinton an out comedienne , and right down to the after party at the Upscale Grace Hotel at 125 West 45th Street
So many people lined up to walk the Red Carpet, and as a member of Gay Media now with 5 Media outlets, and a Youtube show in the works I was blessed to be a part of seeing GLBT music artist of many genre’s. Even though I knew these artists exist I have never had the opportunity to meet, and see them in person. Some I was to have met, but many I didn’t get that chance to make a formal introduction. This is just the start, and I am sure I will meet more and more of them in the future. I was not sure if I was allowing the Beautiful Boyz of Prides World Podcast Show (The Pride Cast Show) to come back for 3rd season, but after the OMA’s it was clear to me the show must continue. I am needed, and still work to do! The Work I have been doing for some time now must not end. I have to continue to support the out artist where ever Possible. So far I have only been exposed to mostly the Hip Hop artist, and enjoy playing their music on my show. I do play the tracks of Jesse O, Nohjj, and a few other artists of different genres. After all my show is based on balance! In the third season I seek to move away from mainstream music, and re-format my show to support all The Out artists in the genres I feature. The Homo Hop Monday show is already all out, but my pop, R&B, and weekend show needs more out artist to make my vision a reality. Not so much the weekend show because I feel house/techno music is Gay anyway. My disco show will remain unchanged after all was not the Gay culture built around disco, or we can even say the foundation of our joy of music started there.

My disco show will remain unchanged after all was not the Gay culture built around disco, or we can even say the foundation of our joy of music started there.
The Pre show was great too! What way to kick off an event this big. Many of socialites and friends came out in support of the OMA’s and packed the house. This area of Webster Hall used for this portion of the show was the party hall I’m sure that’s used for smaller partis that not so small. The room was packed! When the pre show started there were technical difficulties. No microphone, but these things are to be expected at events this big. Once that issue was resolved the hosts were able to speak & be heard, but prior to getting the mic I was afraid for the voices of our hosts. I will say I thought they did magnificent job, and I was engage as the awards were handed out. Some of the awards were present at the pre show, and the rest were handed out at the gala. I will tell you this baby. The sexy De Marco Majors, and co host Julie kept my attention. De Marco I must say as a Gay man really captured attention, and held it.
Wow! What a fine specimen of man. Of course the handsome former pro basket ball player and first out player in Bball was wearing much more at the awards. I however was compelled to show his sexy in these pictures I found o f him on line.
The costumes some wore were incredible! Here’s a couple of pictures of what I wish you were there for.
The Gala was yet again packed in the main auditorium of the club. I enjoyed Rodney Chester. I found him to be very engaging, but I wish I had seen him more throughout the night. So many out artists performed in their perspective genres, and I was all in as they played their guitars, beat on drums, tickle the keys on their keyboards, and worked the microphones. First the first time Out Hop was included in OMA’s, and it was a joy to see so many of the out Hip Hop artist turn out for this event. Many of them I was blessed enough to see throughout the night, but because the house was so packed I did not get to see them all. I did hear from my sources they were in the house. Sonny Lewis (Lou Bang), Bone Intell, King Jabbar, and Soce The Elemental Wizard. JR the self proclaimed King of Gay music who I had the honor of being his host was not only in the house, but preformed some of his track “I’m Addicted to Boys”. He shook his azz all over the stage (Joy). He shared the stage with Tori Fixx who I was within inches of but was not able to make a connection. I understand how stressing it is on a night like this, and many suffered from tunnel vision, and focused on getting done what they were there to do. Great job to you and the other hip hop artist who preformed, and made this a night to remember. I was blessed to be a presenter for outstanding Hip Hop/Rap Song alongside DJ Baker from the Doo Dirty Show. I was an honor to be a presenter, and I have to give much love to Deepa Soul who also preformed. Again I did not get to see her do her thing, but classy lady she has represented to me I am more than sure she turned it out. Damn my phobia of being in large crowned places for long periods of time had me running in and out for air. I know I need to over it, but it what it is.
For Outstanding hip Hop/Rapp Artist the nominees Are:
· Jasper James
· Baron
· Mack Mistress
· Soce, the Elemental Wizard
· Tori Fixx
And the winner for Outstanding Hip/Hop Artist is: Jasper James
Here is the Utube clip of the performance in the Hip Hop/Rapp Genre. I was how ever surprised that no NYC based Out Hip Hop artist preformed on that stage. Why was NYC artist not representing the host city of the Out Music Awards? Hmmmmmmmmmm!
The high light of the night for me was meeting two legends. Willie Ninja, and Kevin Aviance. Kevin who was there to accept the life time achievement award was his forever entertaining self. I am sad to say I did not get to see him accept his award, but I did have the pleasure of seeing, and chatting with him before the Red Carpet when he arrived which I was already there escorting JR to the sound check. I was also blessed to have a moment with him at the after party as he was all dolled up, and got a photo op shot by Dex Star G who has not posted the pictures on his blog yet. Here is one did get before Kevin got into costume.
Another big high light was meeting certain member from Vogue Evolution. I’ve been trying to get an interview with them for some time shortly after their banner fell from the stage of “American Best Dance Crew” I was so not happy with that or Lil Mama’s disrespect of the transgendered lead member Naomi. I have direct contact with their manager, and will be trying to get interview to share them with all of you. I love when my people break ground for us
To top off the night the after party at the Grace Hotel was really nice too and I love the company I was in. Because of a miscommunication at Webster Hall when it came to the open bar the music academy more than made up for it with the free vodka at the after party. Baby I was done by the third drink!
Logo filmed this event, and I will be looking forward to seeing how they covered this event. I can’t help but to feel Hip Hop will be edited out all together, but Need not project on what I don’t yet know. Even if not I was still bless to be a part of this blessed event.
Special acknowledgements to: Tammy Peay, and Lawrence Pinckney (Nubian Dreams Cruise). Much love to Dwight and most of his cast (Christopher Street TV), Maurice Runea & Romeo (The Show), Nathan 7, Nathan James, Taylor Siluwe, JoJo who escorted me to this event, Eric Joppy, E.J. Parker. Shout out to those who won tickets as a result listening to my show. Big up’s to Waddie Grant, Diedra T. Meredith (Deepa Soul), and the entire Out Music Academy.
I'd like to thanks the Out Music Academy for allowing me to be part of this festive event, and I am looking forward to being a part of it next year.
On a finale note here’s how you can hit me up with the links below, and be sure to listen to Monday’s Homo Hop Mondays for audio Bloggables.

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Yell!!!!!!!
Disclaimer: This blog is geared to shed light on an issue that has been made wrong to the very people who serve and love our country. This blog is designed to show the differences between the Gay & heterosexual communities. Pictures used in this blog are merely illustrations of what Military is, and what they look like, and wear. There is no difference besides the fact of which people chose to sleep with. Pictures used may or may not be of actual Gay people.
Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Yell!!!!!!!
“America The Land Of The Free”
Or should it read
“America The Land Of The Free Unless You’re Same Gender Loving GLBTQ”
The SGL/GLBT has faced some serious challenges in America and abroad. Marriage equality, equality in general, and discrimination protection! Discrimination in Employment, and housing! Protections from violence as a result of our lifestyle! All of these barriers has angered me, and made me mad on the highest level. Nothing has pissed me off as much as Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.
The biggest question I have asked in relation to DADT is how did it ever come to pass? Based on my research the first recorded dishonorable discharge was in 1778 by Lieutenant Frederick Gotthold Enslin was (with the approval of General George Washington dishonorably discharged following a conviction of homosexual sodomy and perjury
The passing of DADT came about during the Clinton administration in 1993 in which he promised while campaigning for his presidency to allow all citizens regardless of sexual orientation to serve openly in the military. (What Happen?)
While researching materials for this blog I found this quote from posted in the New York Times.
Sexual orientation will not be a bar to service unless manifested by homosexual conduct. The military will discharge members who engage in homosexual conduct, which is defined as a homosexual act, a statement that the member is homosexual or bisexual, or a marriage or attempted marriage to someone of the same gender.– quoted in "The Pentagon's New Policy Guidelines on Homosexuals in the Military", The New York Times (July 201993)
Many times during the course of political figures seeking office makes these promises on the road to winning their seat, and after winner forget they have an obligation to keep their word.
Now we are in the Obama administration, and he has said the same things. He has claimed he will work towards the equality of all mankind under the constitution of United States. He has promised while campaigning to pass laws against discrimination against people based on sexual orientation, Gender Identity, and Gender Expression. He has also promised to fight for marriage equality. He has also promised & taken steps to repeal DADT.
DADT has been on the forefront of our president’s agenda, and I must say he is making ground in its process. He has also made progress on some of the other issues he has promised to with towards. Much more work needs to be done, and I know its not possible to complete in only one term.
Our mission as a community of same gender loving people, and those who love & support us is to get in the faces of out politicians, lawmakers, and representative, democrats, republicans, independents, liberals, conservatives, and last our faiths based institutions, and inform them of all the contributions we make to our society. They need a reality check that we do all of the things people of Heterosexuals communities do. The fact is we are no different! I can give you a list of things we do that is the same as the people who oppose us, but you know I have to list everything in the world so it is pointless. The only difference I find in the SGL community that is different from the hetero community is we choose to love people of the same sex. Everything else is exactly the same. Right on down to taxes we pay. If everybody in this world makes the same contributions then why are not granted the equality we have worked hard for and deserve.
DADT is wrong & former President Bill Clinton knew it as he was signing that bill making it a law. To add insult to injury he said it was a means to an end. People can feel free to be who there are as long as it is in secret, in the shadows, and behind closed doors. SGL people and straight people alike put our lives on the line to fight for this thing we call democracy. We die in the name of freedom, and told we can’t be free. Where the since of accomplishment for us? I don’t see it in any shape, form or fashion.
In conclusion If we can’t feel free to live our lives in the open & in the light then why show we be willing to give our live in the name of freedom, and democracy when it is not meant for us. Why are we making the same contributions, and paying the same taxes, but being told we can’t reap the same benefits as heterosexuals do. The constitution was written for the equality of all Americans. I ask when do we get to the equality?

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Yell!!!!!!!
“America The Land Of The Free”
Or should it read
“America The Land Of The Free Unless You’re Same Gender Loving GLBTQ”
The SGL/GLBT has faced some serious challenges in America and abroad. Marriage equality, equality in general, and discrimination protection! Discrimination in Employment, and housing! Protections from violence as a result of our lifestyle! All of these barriers has angered me, and made me mad on the highest level. Nothing has pissed me off as much as Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.
The biggest question I have asked in relation to DADT is how did it ever come to pass? Based on my research the first recorded dishonorable discharge was in 1778 by Lieutenant Frederick Gotthold Enslin was (with the approval of General George Washington dishonorably discharged following a conviction of homosexual sodomy and perjury
The passing of DADT came about during the Clinton administration in 1993 in which he promised while campaigning for his presidency to allow all citizens regardless of sexual orientation to serve openly in the military. (What Happen?)
While researching materials for this blog I found this quote from posted in the New York Times.
Sexual orientation will not be a bar to service unless manifested by homosexual conduct. The military will discharge members who engage in homosexual conduct, which is defined as a homosexual act, a statement that the member is homosexual or bisexual, or a marriage or attempted marriage to someone of the same gender.– quoted in "The Pentagon's New Policy Guidelines on Homosexuals in the Military", The New York Times (July 201993)
Many times during the course of political figures seeking office makes these promises on the road to winning their seat, and after winner forget they have an obligation to keep their word.
Now we are in the Obama administration, and he has said the same things. He has claimed he will work towards the equality of all mankind under the constitution of United States. He has promised while campaigning to pass laws against discrimination against people based on sexual orientation, Gender Identity, and Gender Expression. He has also promised to fight for marriage equality. He has also promised & taken steps to repeal DADT.
DADT has been on the forefront of our president’s agenda, and I must say he is making ground in its process. He has also made progress on some of the other issues he has promised to with towards. Much more work needs to be done, and I know its not possible to complete in only one term.
Our mission as a community of same gender loving people, and those who love & support us is to get in the faces of out politicians, lawmakers, and representative, democrats, republicans, independents, liberals, conservatives, and last our faiths based institutions, and inform them of all the contributions we make to our society. They need a reality check that we do all of the things people of Heterosexuals communities do. The fact is we are no different! I can give you a list of things we do that is the same as the people who oppose us, but you know I have to list everything in the world so it is pointless. The only difference I find in the SGL community that is different from the hetero community is we choose to love people of the same sex. Everything else is exactly the same. Right on down to taxes we pay. If everybody in this world makes the same contributions then why are not granted the equality we have worked hard for and deserve.
DADT is wrong & former President Bill Clinton knew it as he was signing that bill making it a law. To add insult to injury he said it was a means to an end. People can feel free to be who there are as long as it is in secret, in the shadows, and behind closed doors. SGL people and straight people alike put our lives on the line to fight for this thing we call democracy. We die in the name of freedom, and told we can’t be free. Where the since of accomplishment for us? I don’t see it in any shape, form or fashion.
In conclusion If we can’t feel free to live our lives in the open & in the light then why show we be willing to give our live in the name of freedom, and democracy when it is not meant for us. Why are we making the same contributions, and paying the same taxes, but being told we can’t reap the same benefits as heterosexuals do. The constitution was written for the equality of all Americans. I ask when do we get to the equality?
