Lisa Smith and Sandy Bidwell, the lesbian couple who have run the Diamond State Rodeo Association for 25 years in Arkansas, are retiring. Sounds like they’re parting ways with nothing but love:
“You don’t have to be a horse person or anything like that,” Smith said. “You come to the rodeo and you can put underwear on a goat, you can tie a ribbon on a steer’s tail or you can do what we call wild drag.” Simultaneously treacherous and doggedly unserious, wild drag is a longtime audience favorite — a shambolic relay race of sorts, in which two cowboys/cowgirls attempt to lure (or harass) a steer across a 70-yard line in a cattle arena, where awaits another cowboy in a thrift store-sourced “quick drag” ensemble, who must then mount the steer and ride it back to the finish line. Problem is, steers have other ideas about how all this should go, and wigs stay on a lot better when hairpiece glue is involved. The resulting charade begs to be soundtracked by “The Benny Hill Show” theme song, followed by Beyonce and Shaboozey’s “Sweet Honey Buckiin’,” maybe. Rodeo loves a playlist.

“Whether you first got acquainted with Dylan O’Brien from Teen Wolf or The Maze Runner, you know that he’s drop-dead gorgeous. Fans had to wait over a decade into his career for Dylan to show off the goods on camera, and now that he’s popped his nudity cherry, he can barely keep his clothes on. Don’t believe us? Just check out the Dylan O’Brien nude scene in Send Help that has the world on its knees.
“But first, what else has Dylan O’Brien gotten naked in? His best scene to date is in Twinless, where he plays a gay twin and a straight twin, both of whom get nekked for some sexy time. The gay twin gets the better sex scene, completely dominating a bottom who is obsessed with twins.
“Send Help was a critical and commercial success, and sees O’Brien playing the tyrannical boss of Rachel McAdams. The two go head-to-head when they crash land on an island together. She can’t have it too bad, because she gets to peep O’Brien washing himself off in the ocean, buck nude! His perfect, natural booty is everything, and we certainly get why people flocked to theaters for this flick. He may be a Teen Wolf, but we’re the ones panting.”
