Just in time for Valentine’s day, The Gay Uncle brings you this gorgeous photo essay. It’s a piece Gunc did for Babble in which he interviewed 2-6 year-old kids about love. Shot on location in frigid wintry Tompkins Square Park, in Manhattan’s East Village, by the talented Lauren DeLuca.

Just what you wanted to cap off your Friday: several minutes of me talking–in my inimitable and infectious way–to Detroit Public Radio about the meaning of LUXURY, while seated in the back seat of a $300,000 Bentley Mulsanne. All this while unemployment in the city hits record highs, and people sleep on the snowy streets right outside. Talk about sensitive!

Last night, the Gay Uncle attended the New Orleans Saints’ victory parade. He was fortunate enough to snag a stellar viewing spot on a friend’s balcony. And when the team’s quarterback, the amazing Breesus (blessed be he) passed by, Gunc was there with a video camera to capture the insanity. You can read his deconstruction of the parade, and watch the little movie of his moment of connection with the QB, here.
The Human Rights Campaign releases its list of which companies do right by The Gays, and which ones don’t. The Gay Uncle’s alter-ego (Vanity Fair’s online car columnist) offers advice on how to spend your pink dollars wisely. Check it out.
Last night, The Gay Uncle watched a football game. Some of you may have watched it as well. It was called “The Superbowl” and it was mostly about grown men rubbing up against each other while wearing so much padding that they can safely pretend not to feel anything sexual about this. The part that’s not about that is about drinking, and the rest is about ads that tell men that they’re oppressed and need to act out by buying a car, visiting a website, or considering the purchase of some new facial products (or drinking more). The team that won this game is from the city where Gunc is living right now, New Orleans, so he was obligated to go out and party with the townsfolk. This is what he discovered.

My article on adult Hot Wheels collectors “Cash, Love, and Tiny Cars” is just out, in glorious printed color, in this month’s Car and Driver. Go old school and buy it on the newsstand! It really looks so pretty, and you can hold it in your hand. (Plus, it’s way uncouth to read feature stories on the computer when pooping.)
BONUS: Now available online, for those of you who like to burn your lap while doing your duty.
