Gus before the event (All images by Gus Kenworthy)
My pal Mark Greeno kindly alerted me to a Gus Kenworthy event moments before it was happening, so I tore down to Samsung 837 in the Meatpacking District to see what was happening.
Gus is a rare gay guy who talks about skiing some slopes without it meaning drugs, and he's also — as expected — 100% sweet. The event was messy! I arrived and got several different answers as to where to stand and what to do. I was even mistaken for Samsung staff and handed an official wristband IDing me as such. Okay!
Eventually, things became more clear, and Gus did a quick walk-through past us. I introduced myself (his boyfriend Matt Wilkas is currently attached to star in the Boy Culture Web series) and took some snaps of him with a few superfans, including a couple of guys who didn't look too shabby, even next to Gus! One guy, who later told me the day was one of the highlights of his life as a gay man and as an athlete, wisely had Gus sign some skis, which he happily did.

I went to Parrot Cay with a photographer, Aaron Carter and Aaron's mom and now-late father.
Colton Haynes went with his hard-bodied husband-to-be (pictured), and both showed their bare asses on Instagram after a midnight skinny-dip.
Who can say who had more fun? (I can: They did.) Keep reading for their full moons and more of the day's hottest links ...

The Profiles in History auction of the personal estates of Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher is coming in September, and ... well, as you might expect, they had a lot of great shit.
Keep reading for the highlights of an auction that will be lots of fun and bring lots of tears ...

Andrew “Durandy” Golub, the author of The Music Between Us: Concert Ads of Duran Duran, also happens to be sitting on the world's largest Duran Duran archive — so you know the book he created was done so with something more alarming than mere love.

The hardcover, 107-page book will run you $45 plus shipping, but it's chock-full of rare print ads and posters, including for some items that never wound up happening.
One of my fave Roger Taylor snaps, from Rock Shots (1984)
'80s Roger pinup from Tiger Beat or similar
As an ephemera addict, I couldn't take my eyes off of this, not even while dancing on the sand.
I love sheet like this! Sheet music for one of my fave D2 songs!

Bill Branch sent me these eye-popping shots of his masterpiece, a Madonna-themed jacket he created in 1990 to wear to the Washington, D.C., Blond Ambition World Tour stop.
He recalls, “I wore it once for 10 minutes.”
He did try to get Kurt Loder to show it to Madonna at the Truth or Dare premiere in NYC, but Loder didn't want the responsibility.
It was later displayed on his wall, but for most of its career — like Barry Manilow — it has bided its time in the closet.
Spectacular, iddinit?!
