Suede Shoes

There is a buddy at work that I generally advise when we have clearance shoes I think might be of interest to him.  For the purpose of anonymity, I’ll simply call him the “Gay Giant”.  We both think of ourselves as snappy dressers: however, our individual styles are very, very different.  We also have more … More Suede Shoes

Dressing for Work

I had a customer at my retail gig yesterday that was a joy to work with.  Usually I don’t include the race, ethnicity or religion of any of the folks I talk about because it’s not relevant.  However, in this case it is a relevant fact.  A young thin Black man approached me for help … More Dressing for Work

Wrong Parts

Being a proud gay man, I made sure all my  work associates were aware that I was NOT straight.  The Men’s Shoe Department, which was one of the ugly step-children departments in the store, was in desperate need of at least one additional cash register.  We have one cash register for up to five or … More Wrong Parts

Gay Giant

A buddy of mine at my retail gig was promoted to manage Ladies Departments on the first floor of the building as opposed to the second floor where all of the men’s departments are located.  Although I miss this young man because he was one of my favorite sparring partners, I’m also happy for him … More Gay Giant

I’m Straight!

If you are on Facebook, I imagine you have seen the tests that claim they can correctly determine personal characteristics if you answer ten questions.  I’ve seen tests to determine your favorite music, your age based on political views, etc.  I see these surveys as a waste of time since they are designed to predict … More I’m Straight!

15th Anniversary

Ed and I took our first cruise for our 15th Anniversary.   Not only was it our first cruise, it was also our first “all gay” cruise.  We traveled with two other couples who were best friends.  It was early days in gay cruise business so the ship wasn’t particularly nice or up to date but … More 15th Anniversary

Proposal

Last week at my retail gig I had a customer come in with her two teenage children.  The kids were a handful and not showing the lady a lot of respect.  Because she was having a bad day I treated her with extra respect and kept her laughing.  When we got to the counter, I … More Proposal

Show Me Tattoos

One thing that is almost always true is that men and women with multiple tattoos are exhibitionists.  Combine that with men who spend most of their free time in a gym making their bodies as perfect as possible, you can be guaranteed they are exhibitionists.  I have tested this theory several times and have never … More Show Me Tattoos

Checking Vitals

Ed and I are rapidly approaching our 15th wedding anniversary.  Ed and I lived in sin for the first 28 years.  We took advantage of getting married as soon as it became available.  Although joined at the hip during the day, when we go to sleep at night we are very different people.  Ed is … More Checking Vitals

Big Cats

One day at my retail gig there was a man looking at shoes.  I noticed his fly was wide open and silky leopard print fabric was sticking out of the opening.  I very discretely told the gentleman about his fly and walked away while he took care of his trousers.  After he finished his shopping … More Big Cats
