Pretty Person of the Week (and Post-dating is my favorite!)

So........this week the pretty person of the week is somebody I know basically nothing about yet (yet being the key word). But the man is cropping up in everything I read and look at this week, so I had to post about him. I give you....Blake Riley!

Like I said, I know basically nothing about him, but every time I see a picture of him (even when he's clothed) my breath catches and I'm like "Oooh, who's that beautiful man?"

I'm finding the (non-pornographic) pictures I can, but this is tough work! :-P You can go see a photo of him with Johnny Hazzard and Tyler Riggz on Hazzard Ahead -- it's actually a photo from the Grabbys too! (And there's a picture of Johnny and Francesco D'Macho there as well!)

He's cute, aside from in the looks department but also in the personality department, if what little is on his website so far is any indication.

I know he's done other stuff than his work on Randy Blue, but I honestly can't tell you what it is. I feel all underprepared, but that's okay. You know you actually look at these posts for the pictures, and not the stuff I say. :P

And he's a dancer too. Of course, I missed his appearance at Club XL and his appearance at Chris Harris' Big Easy Mardi Gras party (which were around the same time). There are pictures of the Mardi Gras appearance though -- and they are HOT!!

Disclaimer: All pictures borrowed from BlakeRiley.com, and I didn't ask permission so this whole post is basically totally illegal. But I only average 55 hits a day, and I'm (definitely) making no money so...what are the chances someone actually cares? :P

EDIT: So how about one of my managers at A&F made out with him at the Big Easy Mardi Gras party? Yeah, I'm so jealous of her.

" Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy."

That's the fortune cookie that I got from Alexsander's blog today. It eerie because, in truth, I just had the craziest weekend yet -- and I should still be taking it easy because of my incredibly awful flu/cold/black death from this week.

Happy Chinese New Year, by the way.
And also? Happy Mardi Gras. I know it isn't til Tuesday but I have already had the most extreme Mardi Gras of my life. (Then again, usually I just go to my church's pancake supper, so I guess that's not hard to top as far as excitement goes...)

I know, I should have stayed in bed. I mean, I was just deathly ill pretty much all week.
But I also know that when my club brings in DJ Seth Gold the dancers can make TONS of money. I was not about to miss that kind of opportunity. Call me greedy, call me ambitious, call me just plain stupid....I was not missing this.

So I spent yesterday at the mall preparing for the Mardi Gras party. Cody showed up to pick up David (who was working at the mall) and myself, and off we went to dinner at Jenny's. Dave and Rob showed up shortly after us, and then Sean and Miguel came. We all sat and chatted for a while. The food was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! There was pasta, brocolli, and chicken with this creamy white sauce....so good! For dessert that was ice cream and pecan pie. Well, mostly pecan pie but for those of us who can't have nuts... We all ate until we were stuffed. It was a GREAT dinner party, so much fun (so much FOOD!)
(The picture here is Cody, Josh, Miguel, Jenny, and David...most of the crew from dinner.)
Of course, there was a lot of jokes about the creamy white sauce (c'mon, one straight girl and seven gay men, obviously there's going to be a lot of those jokes. :-P). After dinner we chatted a while longer and then dispersed to prep ourselves for Mardi Gras.

Cody and I adjourned to his house. We made a masterpiece of my hair, got ourselves all ready, and then we were off.DJ Seth Gold always brings in a couple dancers of his own. He almost always brings in this one guy by the name of Kevin, who I met last year before either one of us had started dancing like this (as far as I know...) and, last night, he brought in a friend of mine named Austin.
And, as predicted, everybody made a TON of money. He also brought this cute blonde guy to assist him. We barely had enough room for all of us, but we made due and we worked it.

The club had purchased 45 pounds of beads for us, the drag queens, and everyone who works there to give out. Every time we got a tip, we gave a bead away (well, one for each dollar) and we also gave out glo-sticks. It was SO much fun!! I have never had so much as a club -- and considering I was in Victoria's Secret women's underwear, that's really saying something. Yes, not even the fact that I spent ten minutes stretching out my underwear in the front to keep myself from being totally squashed could dull the Mardi Gras party!!

There are MILLIONS of pictures that people took. One particularly awesome thing? Among the tons of people who I met, there was one super hot guy by the name of Matthias. He's not famous, per say, but he's not unknown. And he had photographers with him -- and he made me take SO many pictures with him. It was like the paparazzi, I swear -- and I LOVED it. Even when the club closed, and half an hour later I came out into the empty parking lot and saw him and I went over to make sure he was okay and everything, flash flash flash, more pictures!!
Anyways, I will be adding pictures to this post when I get them and I will probably make another post that's all Mardi Gras photos.

PS. I wrote a new scene. :)
