Hotel Everland

Here's a fierce hotel.
It's one room.
...that is mobile.

http://www.everland.ch/en/home/ is the English version of the website for this unique hotel of the world.

Rates are actually not that bad for the unique experience at only 333 Euro or 444 Euro per night. ...that's IF you can book it since it seems to be full all the time.

"The Last Supper" of HustlaBall

This photo from Parks makes the closing dinner at HustlaBall even more symbolic for me. It really was like the "Last Supper" in so many ways.

Not only was it the last evening meal I had in Berlin during the HustlaBall, but it was the last contact I had with my old boss Tom who seems to have written me out of his life. I can't believe he can discount the relationship I built with him like this, but it sure seems like he did.
He sent me a text message of how upset he was that I was at another table and not including him. He just arrived as we were finishing up. He was so busy and had his own agenda and we just didn't connect, but I can only gather that he thinks it was personal.

I saw this photo and just couldn't believe it.
...and after I had just blogged about another "Last Supper" situation HERE in my own blog. I even posted in the comments about some other "Last Supper" renditions.

Boy of the Moment - London Pretty Boy

This HOTTIE, pretty boy is located in one of the busiest cities of www.rentboy.com which is London. (...which means he quite possibly could be - UNCUT!)
His beautiful yet msculine look stopped me in my ad revisions and approval tracks today.
You can see more of him at www.rentboy.com/MIKE23MI1

Hungry Deck

I was out the other day with Angel Benton and I saw this deck of cards. I don't even know why I really got it, but now I am glad I did.

Basically, it's this deck of cards that is a listing of 40 restaurants in Los Angeles. You take the card into the restaurant and get $10.00 off a purchase of $20.00 or more.
It's only good for a couple of months left, but that's okay. I think I may even use most of them before then.

I always have a tough time choosing places to eat and this may help me when I need it.
I like to try new things and places. (Imagine that right?)

I took a random card out today and the card was for "El Cholo" one the favorite and recently left by the wayside places I like to go with one of my friends. How cool is that? (Although it looks like it's the Pasadena location, I have to check on that.) (Thank goodness I have 39 other choices now.)

The 2008 version does not appear to be out yet, but www.hungrydeck.com looks like the online place to curb the appetite for the next years deck.

HustlaBall Berlin 2007 Photos - Vicky

My photographer friend Vicky is amazing!
Here are a couple of her ultra-fantastic photos from the myriad of photos she took with her unique style.
I have to get them in a gallery, but these are a few that stuck out to me among many.

Rentboy Films

Although just a bit hot, THESE FILMS presented as "A RENTBOY FILM" are not associated with the company I work for at all.
In fact, the first time I heard of them was last week in Berlin as they were at the largest sex expo in the world - the Venus Expo.

Boy of the Moment - Kasey Kahne

This fast lane hottie NASCAR driver is driving me crazy with his hotness.
Kutie *wink* Kasey Kahne has the red cheeks that drive me wild. Coupled with the blue eyes, he has a license to thrill.

Click this video image to the left to see a cute Allstate commercial with him in it.

The Secret on Secrets

Secrets always have been, are and will be very important in life.
...and I don't care what anyone says - it's only a secret if only you know it.

It's only normal for secrets to be followed by speculation.

I make it a point to be fairly open about my life, what I do and what I want to accomplish.
I mean, most of the time, people help me along willingly and it works for all the parties involved, I think.
However, sometimes, keeping something a secret is appropriate.
Other times it's not.

More often though, I see where a secret can be a gimmick. (...and after reading this, I hope you can too.)

Here's an interesting article about secrets and food.

While some companies are moving toward greater transparency regarding the ingredients of their products (to allay fears about trans fats, for instance), in some cases the secret of a product’s makeup is not only closely guarded, but promoted as a key part of its allure. Mysteries can be a great advertising gimmick.

The proprietors of Antoine’s restaurant in New Orleans were clearly operating from this idea when they created their famous recipe for Oysters Rockefeller; although it has been widely speculated upon, this recipe has remained a secret since it was first developed in 1899. Having sampled Oysters Rockefeller at Antoine’s, I would say that I greatly enjoyed their taste, but I got more enjoyment out of trying to guess the elements of the recipe.

This same type of marketing is at work in the promotion of Dr Pepper soda. The only information given by the manufacturer is that it contains 23 flavors; it’s up to customers to draw their own conclusions about what those flavors are. Ditto for Coca Cola’s secret recipe and the “11 herbs and spices” in Kentucky Fried Chicken. In a similar vein, the makers of one of Italy’s best-known liqueurs, Fernet-Branca, prefer to keep the composition of their product top secret, but rumors about what it may contain are certainly tantalizing.

HustlaBall Berlin 2007 Photos - www.Boys2Love.com

Here are some great HustlaBall Berlin photos.
You can find many more that show some great VIP action at http://www.boys2love.com/frame2.htm.

Brody Jenner as Robin

Perez Hilton has THIS STORY with this hot Robin photo of cutie Brody Jenner and what Jenner has in his ummmm....batcave.
...that's a little much huh? I think what he might have in his batcave is more like THIS hot novelty.
I "Google-ed" Brody Jenner and man, he's a hottie. He can be seen in the TV show "The Princes of Malibu" and apparently as Robin this year for Halloween. Anyone who dons the Robin attire is okay in my book.

I love that my friends keep such an eye out on the internet for hot Robin photos. Thanks for that superfriends! *wink*

Rusty AMS

Rusty decided to stay in Amsterdam another week.
I don't know who he hooked up with, and I missed meeting him at the last bar before we left Berlin, but he must fuck somethin' fierce to make Rusty make decisions like this.

Christmas

OMG! There is Christmas stuff up at some stores in the mall. It's not even Haloween yet.

Boy of the Moment - Michael

I think I have blogged this boy before as a "Boy of the Moment." At the very least, I know I have drooled over him before for a few moments.

He was just any other caller today with a photo issue on his ad until I saw the photos. ARGH! What's worse is it was one of those times where I said, "Ummmm... I know that shower. Are you with Jeff from ChicagoBeef.net?" and of course he must have handed the phone to Jeff I was able to talk to him for a few moments on the phone for a few moments about an issue with the ad. with a legitimate issue with the uploading of photos I had find a work around for.
(Here's your RentBoy.com insider bit of information. You can upload only 9 photos per ad on the site. However, I do know of a way to get more photos on your ad if you take a few extra steps. Only one person I know has figured it out on his own and for that - he's fierce! I didn't want to have the technical department fix it yet, because then if I like someone, I can tell them about that and have more photos to oogle over. It's actually kinda diabolical I think, in a silly and small way.)

I am only just kidding a little bit when I say I am glad he had a photo issue today. a) I got to see more of him. b) I got to talk to Jeff. c) I got to help the escort out.

I do have one last thought, even though this cock is not small, the world is. It's amazing and it never ceases to downright astound me how many times I am in a situation that proves that to me again and again. SO MANY times, I want to say, "Oh I know you from this or blah, blah, but I know it's not appropriate so I just have to revel in it myself.

You can see more of Michael (...and his hot pubic hair.) ...RIGHT ON. (...or should I saw OFF?) *wink* on his current Rentboy.com ad at www.rentboy.com/Michael84 or dancing in Chicago for www.ChicagoBeef.net.

www.MySpace.com/Rentboy_com

www.RentBoy.com has a new www.MySpace.com profile.

Jeesh, MySpace, MySpace, MySpace - even if you hate it, get on the wagon - it's amazing how much you can get done with it. I didn't believe it, Jason Sechrest told me and I was like, "Whatever." but it's true, I tell you.

I guess we needed it, I mean everybody's doing it.
I tried it awhile back and let it go by the wayside when I didn't keep it up. (If I had a quarter for everytime I said that.)

Now that we have some more staff in the New York office, Daniel, the young'in of the office maintains the company MySpace profile. You can find him on the photos of the GEE NYC. He's a cutie and makes my life much easier.

You can find the new profile at

http://www.myspace.com/rentboy_com

That's www dot, then MySpace, then dot com, then underscore, then com. www.myspace.com/rentboy_com. You can't put a dot in the extension, the rentboy extension was already taken and I have
www.myspace.com/rentboyoffice and www.myspace.com/hustlaball for later on.

I feel so special, I am right up there on the "top friends" and of course, I moved it to my Top Friends on my own MySpace profile at www.myspace.com/partywithbrandon.

Rusty and Angel are on it too with the Escort Awards videos, that's cool! YEA for them! Angel is good at that type of thing so we are proud to show him off.

I even added a comment to the Rentboy.com profile which reads:

...from Los Angeles to New York in the United States and even further than that in the world, we trot on the information superhighway and make the lanes of life a little more enjoyable. ...that's hot! *wink*

Nip/Tuck Season 5: Right Around the Corner. Literally.

Here's a YouTube promotion for

Nip/Tuck, my favorite show,

starting it's new and fifth season on the 30th.
I am so excited. Mark Tuesday, October 30th and Tuesday's thereafter at 10:00pm down in your calendars, it's going to be an hour of time that I am unreachable by phone. What's new right? *wink* 10:00pm is kinda late for me, but I can deal with it. *wink*

The official and VERY HOT website is at http://www.fxnetwork.com/shows/originals/niptuck%5Fs5/.
I can't handle it.

I love the new concept, it's like they are opening a real office in Hollywood. ...just like me. *wink* The signs say "McNamara/Troy Opening Hollywood"
The new "offices" are right down the street from me at Hollywood and Highland. The season premiere AND the offices are right around the corner from me. Here's a look at the new "offices" of McNamara/Troy. http://mcnamaratroyla.com/losangeles/They needed to be in LA. YEA!

Here's a blog for fanatics like me. http://fxniptuck.blogspot.com/2007/05/season-5-promo.html

I cam counting down the days. I can see it now, I am already consumed by it.I am breathing heavier now.

*I tell myself, calm down Brandon Baker!*

California Rules: No Smoking

I am so thankful that California has that that law where you can't smoke in bars.
In Berlin, I came home every night smelling like a pack of lit cigarrettes myself. (...and Lord knows I have enough vices, I can't add that to the list.)
I realize how easy it is to take that for granted at the nightclubs at home in California. When I didn't live here, I thought, "What a fucked up state, they have all these silly rules." I would get memo's at the hotel I worked at and it would be like here is the new rules for something. ...and here's the same set for California applications."
Now I apprecaite it.
I threw all of my clothes in the laundry hamper last night to get the smell out of my suitcase.

'Just Add Water'

Somehow, a copy of Andy Kirra's latest release from JetSet Video ended up on my desk this afternoon.

'Just Add Water' synopsis says:

Ten hot men are invited to spend an afternoon at a beautiful home with a pool. In a variety of duos and three-ways they all get into it and have wild, wonderful sex. As the first duo is going at it out by the pool, another guy watches through the window, getting hot and hard, but he is instead lured into sex with another guy inside. These two are soon joined by a third. A fourth guy walks in on them, but decides three is already a crowd. He moves off down a hall to another room where a twosome is having sex and joins them instead. When still another horny guy happens upon this happy threesome, he opts instead to have sex with another stud in the kitchen for an incredibly wild go ‘round atop the counter. The moral of the story? If it looks good and welcoming, go for it! Otherwise move on. There’s always someone else waiting and wanting you just around the corner.

I love the moral of the story, I couldn't have said it better myself.

"Trouble with a Capital T."

The guy at 'Starbucks' today got a kick out of it when he asked me my name and I said, "Trouble. Capital T." when I ordered my 'Pumpkin Spice' Ice blended beverage this morning.

Bomb Threat

I have been outside the building now for about an hour. Why? The police won't let us back in.
At about 3:30pm, I went out with Eric to get some soup and apparently in the 5 minutes we were in Quizno's, there was a bomb threat at the subway station across from the office.
The bomb squad closed the street in front of the office, redirected traffic and evacuated several buildings.The police are keeping us about a block away now. We said, "What about the people in the office. They don't have to come out? The policeman said, "No." That does not make sense to me, but whatever.
I don't know how long this new experience will take but I am a little comforted by the seriousness the police are taking. I haven't been involved in something like this but they mean business. So much so that when I co-worker came out of the office he walked out of the office and was on the other side of the police line, he went to go back in and they said, "Get out here." When he said, "I have to piss." and went back to go back in, the police man slapped some handcuffs on him and put him in the police car. Oh gosh.

Cute New RentBoy Alert - AJ

Here's a hot new Rentboy you can find at www.rentboy.com/AJ16

Boy of the Moment

Ramune

I am a sucker for hot packaging. I admit it.

I had this soda the other day when Rusty went to some Asian store.

It's so cool, it's like a marble holds the drink in the bottle from spilling.
You have to have this special plastic "tool" to open it and drink it.
When I first saw it in the fridge and went to have one and I am so serious when I say it took me two days to figure out how to open the bottle.
I didn't even know what was in the bottle. It could have been gasoline Rusty left in the fridge for longevity or whatever for all I know, I don't know about that stuff. I mean, the writing is in Chinese so it could have been anything. I should be more cautious.

The second day, as I was looking at the bottle like it was a puzzle once again, I went online and no joke, found a few directions on how to open the bottle.

The bottle fascinated me so so I immediately ordered a case before I left for HustlaBall. When I got back from Berlin, it was there waiting for me.
The flavor is like a "bubblegummy soda water" flavor, it's got to be awful for you. I don't care, the packaging it fabulous!

The official site is HERE, but one of the more informative sites is HERE. You can see more of it on my fridge.

HustlaBall Berlin 2007 First Photo

This is one of my favorite photos from HustlaBall Berlin. I mean, a night of that much fun can really do you in, just look at Fabrice.
While this photos is not real and was staged, the craziness was real. Real fun. *wink*
I left the event at something like 7:30am to go directly to breakfast at the hotel with the boys.

Boy of the Moment - Ryan Gosling

I found this photo on www.popsugar.com of the star of the new movie 'Lars the Real Girl' Star Ryan Gosling is kinda hot. There is something strangely attractive about the paleness, the scruffy face and the tummy.

Halloween Costume

I don't know what to be for Halloween.
I have a few ideas.
Do you have any?

F#CK POVERTY

Here's a new image we have for some new ads with RentBoy.com.
We now have a graphic designer who works full time on stuff we have and updating ads.

"I'm Back from Berlin, Germany"

...even though it's the BrandEnburg Gate and not the BrandOnburg gate, it's close. (They just spelled it wrong.) *wink*

I am back from Berlin, Germany and the HustlaBall in my office today. I flew in yesterday afternoon and boy are my arms tired. *woka, woka* No really, I am back and trying to catch up, so hang in there as I divulge all the excitement, drama and fun stories from the trip.
