Ketchup Report - White Party, Valley Idol

Okay, my blog has been light last week because I have been so busy. Frankly, it's been a little crazy with the White Party preparations, travel and the fun I have packed in between the lines.
However, today's the day.
Here's a "Ketchup Report" of the last week. Get it? Catch up = Ketchup. *whoa*

Tuesday, April 15th
I took Rusty to go get his new car. He got a new Mercedes. It's hot. I am going to keep it and make the payments on it for him until he sells his other car.
I left work and went home to shower and stuff to go to the "Valley Idol" contest. (It's not called "Valley Idol" except in my blog. It's really called "Fame 6 at Fuel.")
Now usually if you know me, I travel with an entourage. It fun. It's very gay mafia, I always have people with me. However, everyone had something to do, like Angel had to work picking up some models at the airport, so I went alone. ...and can I tell you, I had such a good time with Jim and Dallas. Tyler was not there, and I wanted him to be, but that's okay. I met Dallas' friend Erin who was out of control hot. She's beautiful. I mean, "Whoa."
Dallas sung "Hold the Line" and "Glory of Love" for his two song. I liked, "Hold the Line" and wanted to put someone on hold all night on the phone. The "Glory of Love" made me think of "Back to the Future". I don't even know if that song was in that movie, but I wanted it to be.
The cool manager, Mario, asked me if I can judge the next week contest like "American Idol" and I was so excited.

Wednesday, April 16th
I came home from work and made plans to meet a trick. (By definition, I call a trick someone that is not on an escort basis with me. I don't do that very often just because I am so jaded and don't enjoy sex that much unless I have a specific gain. Call it an occupational hazard, whatever, it's the way it is.) I met this boy at CockBlock and had a little fun with him there, but let me tell you, he sucked so good, it was not enough to just have him in a dark room at CockBlock. I was excited to have him over and when he came over, we got right to it and it was HOT! HOT! HOT! My couch is much more excited from that action. (Okay, what's with that - I haven't slept on my bed since I broke up with Fabrice. Derrick sleeps in the bed now. I sleep on the couch. I didn't even have sex on the bed. WTF?) I had such a hot time with that boy, I called him again this week and said, we have to do it again! Plus, he swallowed, that's one of the quickest ways to my heart. I love that.
I felt bad, but I had to rush him out and Rusty picked me up to take us to Here! Lounge to see www.Suite703.com's exclusive model, Dempsey Stearns, go-go at Jason Sechrest's porn night. SO many local porn stars were there, it was FABULOUS! The cute staff at Suite 703 was there too. As soon as I got there, Angel Benton kissed me on the cheek and I said, "Oh, does it taste like cum?" and chuckled. (He didn't cum on my face, but I enjoyed making Angel squirm all night.) CoolTom was there and holding his harem of boys in court quite well. I love that about him. I find myself being more and more like him, there is hope! *wink* I saw so many boys that night that I was so glad to see like Chase Evans, Trevor Knight, Tristan Tucker (...so pretty!) and a bevy of other boys that would knock your socks off. I ended up pretty inebriated and you can fill in the rest of the night here with the stories you hear.

Thursday, April 17th
I went into work for a few hours and then went home to get ready for the White Party.
Derrick came to work with me and we worked for a little bit to get some stuff done in my office I had been putting off for months.
Rusty came to meet us and we went to this fierce costume store in Silverlake I like called Ozzie Dots. The guy there was so helpful when I was selecting a wig. I wanted ridiculous. I said, "What's the biggest and craziest, white wig you have." There I got my Marie Antoinette wig and the five pairs of suspenders and bow ties for the boys to wear at White Party so we matched and had unique white outfits. We also went to the Goodwill store to find some crazy white stuff that we did. Rusty found some see through pants that looked HOT on him.
I went home and dyed my hair blond. Twice.
We packed up what seemed like we were leaving LA for a week of snacks, clothes, bathroom stuff and my 'Batman and Robin' pillow and drove to Palm Springs. The drive went well.
We checked into the Helios Resort and stayed there Thursday night. The guys that run that place are AMAZING! They have to be some of my favorite people on earth. I don't know how they do it, but they do. I mean, if I had to put up with me like this, I would try to find places to hide the body. *wink*
Thursday night, we went to the www.ManHunt.com party at the owner of the website's beautiful Palm Springs hacienda. I saw Rob Reimer, Brock and several other ManHunt movers and shakers and had a ton of fun with Earl Shelton from QVegas. The ManHunt party was a little more tame than last year, but it was fun. My favorite part was when the police showed up. (Presumably because of the noise.) I am so glad I didn't run up to them and say, "I am so glad the strippers are here." *wink*
I also liked that Angel got to meet a lifelong fan who knew everything about him. It was GRAND. My friend Rob called me over and the guy said some stuff about Angel that very few people would know and knew Angel from some shows. It seems that Angel was the inspiration for the guy to come out. I am one to say, Angel is very influential and I was so glad that connection was made. YEA! Go Angel. (It was very stalker-esque, but still fabulous.)
My friend from Vegas who is a teacher and kicked off the weekend of fun with him and his friend Oliver. (Who is FIERCE!) I also met some friends of his that I fucked up the names of all weekend. One started with a J and one started with a R and I called them every J and R name I could hoping one was right. *wink*

Friday, April 18th
Friday we moved to the host hotel for the White Party, the Wyndham. Things did not start off well. I was pissed because we didn't have a poolside room. I wanted to be able to hang the banner from the balcony as we have in years past but the hotel was very uncooperative and insisted on no poolside rooms being available.
We checked into our what they called "Mountain View" but should be called "Parking Lot View" suite and headed to the first party which was the Boxers or Briefs Underwear Party. I really liked this party. It was so hot to see all the boys in their underwear. Good move. I got hard a few times as I went in and out of the party.
At some point, a group of boys that were not supposed to be out, came seeking refuge in the RentBoy.com hotel room. It was crazy. A few of them were so entertainingly drunk, I couldn't have paid them to make a better show. One of them pulled his pants down when he heard Rusty talking about his bleach pen and wanted to know if we could bleach his hole. *chuckle* I loved it. I am so glad they stopped by. However, I don't think Howard was and I wish I knew that they were not supposed to be out and I would have reminded them and patted them on the back as I shooed them out. I think I caused a bit of a ruckus that night with the boys and their boss.
We did the after-party at the hotel and paid $6 for Red Bull and $10 for a vodka and Red Bull with drink tickets. I hate drink tickets. Overpriced drinks piss me off too.
We went back to the hotel room and then the after party that night I think we stayed out until about 7 am and went to bed with the sun up in Palm Springs and the curtains closed.

Saturday, April 19th
Some of us woke up about 12:00 noon and went to breakfast at Denny's. I was still fucked up from the night before. I haven't had a breakfast that felt that good in ages. ...and I only ate two bites of the food. I think that this breakfast was my favorite thing.
I got along well with Scott Adler. I usually don't. ...that made me happy too. I feel like I should like him, but I just couldn't get it. This time I really liked his company.
We had an eventful day with the pool party at the hotel.
We also went to the CockyBoys house for a pool party. We had to take two taxis and a car with all the boys we had and assembled on the way out of the hotel. It's like we picked them up on the way. Fierce. The house the CockyBoys were staying at was utterly amazing. It was a sprawling land that had a friggin' swim up bar, a pool grotto with an amazing waterfall, a water slide built into the rock formation and well, you get the picture. It was very palatial. I have photos from this event, but I have to get them in a gallery. Standby for that. The boys looked amazing and we had SUCH a good time. Yea for CockyBoys.
We did the White Party that night and I was not happy. At about 2:00pm, I went to the venue to hang the RentBoy.com banner in the room that we were supposed to be sponsoring. I could not find an official staff person and the person I did find that told me to just leave the banner on the stage and they would hang it apparently had not authority to do so. When I arrived at about midnight, my banner was nowhere to be found. I was livid. I didn't want to bring the other boys down, but I was PISSED. I searched for the banner and about 20 minutes later found it under the stage. I was even more pisssed. I found a staff person who helped me hang it loosely on the stage where Chi-Chi was DJ-ing. I did as much as I could and now have to follow-up with that because I feel that we didn't get the value that we paid for. We paid a whole lot to "sponsor" the "Boogie Nights Lounge" and as far as I am concerned, you can't even tell it was RentBoy.com's event. Fuck that.
I didn't like the White Party itself. It was my least favorite event. RuPaul was okay. Jeanie Tracy was better. The VIP platforms broke people up too much, I don't like that and can take some cues for my own events. I ended up spending much of my time on the sponsor platform drinking and dancing to my own beat while I rationalized things in my head.
We did the after-party at the hotel too and had fun until about 6:00am when we headed to bed.

Sunday, April 20th
We woke up late again and did the pool party at the hotel.
We did the Tea Party with was one of my favorite events. It was fun. It was crowded and outside. It had a ferris wheel. It's got a very carnival feel. I had snow balls with Angel that was fun. I saw Fabrice and he wasn't that nice to me, so I was frustrated.
We sat with the boys from UndieTwinks and that made me happy. They are wonderful.
I had dinner with a large group that was my second favorite thing we did all weekend. I liked that we had such a fun group of people and that Rob Remier was able to join us. I like cohesive, diverse, large groups of people that can all be part of a conversation and fun.
We did the after-party at the hotel and partied into the dawn.
I ducked out a little early and entertained in the complete disaster of a room. It looked was worse than hurricane Katrina. It was a barrage of boys all night in and out of the room. It was actually a bit amazing.
I think I woke up with Derrick and Josh in my bed, John and Cesar at the foot of the bed on the floor, Rusty MIA, and Elias and Earl on the sofa bed. There was an unidentified boy sleeping in the hallway, but he got up quickly and went somewhere else. I heard someone come into the room and say, "How many boy are there in my room?" and reminded the voice in the dark that, "This was my room." as he slid back out the front door.

Monday, April 21st
We checked out the host hotel, and Rusty and I spent an hour or so collecting the RentBoy.com banners and much more from the gift bag room as life got back to normal for the hotel and the boys.
Rusty and I went to visit him mom (I adore her!) and stopped at McDonalds. Ahhh, real food.
We went to the Helios and I met with the boys for about an hour about the RentBoy.com Pool party and Angel, Rusty and I got some sun. Well, Rusty went to sleep with Roxy in the shade, but that's becoming normal for him these days.
We drove back to Los Angeles and I assembled what I could to put my life back to a non White Party status.

Tuesday, April 22nd
I worked in my office all day and tried to catch up. Tried.
I walked home and got a smoothie on the way home from a place that had a health code rating of B. Is that bad? The smoothie was good.
I went home, showered and thought of last Wednesday and how I wanted that again.
Rusty and I went to "Valley Idol" at Club Fuel in the valley.
We played darts. It's been ages since I did that. It's always fun throwing sharp things if you ask me. I don't even know how, but it's my luck, I got a "bullseye" right in the center of the dartboard. Fierce.
I got to judge the contest. That was fun. I think the general consensus is that was much more Paula then Simon and was too nice. I think I was the most like Simon when I asked someone, "What's your day job?" and then said, "Keep it."
There were two cuties. I wrote notes on my score sheet to get phone numbers. However, did I leave with any numbers? Nope.
It takes alot of guts to get up there and sing those songs. I have to hand it to those people. Kudos. I wouldn't do it. I can do many things well - singing is not one of them.
Angel took me home and I went to bed on the couch again very comfortable with my head swirling.

Wednesday, April 23
I went to work.
...with a hangover.
I hate that.
I had to stop at Popeye's on Hollywood Blvd. at 10:45am to get some food in my system. I had spicy chicken strips and a biscuit and longed for my to make that order in New Orleans.

"How to tell if you are at White Party..."

How to tell if you are White Party...
...the sunglasses line up on the coffee table.
...and condom tray.


How to tell if you have had too much White Party...
...it's 9:00 at night and you are wondering which sunglasses to wear.


How to tell if White Party is over...
...you have 6 more pairs of sunglasses then you started with.
If you or someone you love lost a pair of sunglasses this year at White Party, call 1-888-792-6667 and press option 1 for the 'Lost and Found' department of Brandon Baker, LLC.

I wanted to make sure that anyone who stopped by our room had the opportunity to grab some condoms and sure enough, even if they thought it was candy, several people I have no idea who they were, came by and grabbed some gloves for love back in their own room.

Speaking of people I don't know in my room, I chuckled when someone came to the back bedroom of our room and after stepping over the 7 boys that were between the front door and my bed in the back, I heard someone say, "How many boys are there in my room?" I was like, "Honey, this is my room, but if you want to stay there will be one more." He said, "Ooops, I thought I was in my room."
Even more, my friend from ManHunt had a room two doors down and he said several times, he had to answer the door and when people asked, "Where's Brandon?" tell them that the RentBoy.com room was two doors down.

I guess if I needed anything done at this table I would have to send a text message.
I thought I was on my phone too, but I guess it was my camera. *wink*

White Party Palm Springs 2008 First Photos

I am back from the weekend in Palm Springs at the White Party with more to say then ever.
It was a fun weekend with tons of hot boys, crazy mis-adventures and lots of fun.
I have been out of the office for about 5 days, so as you can imagine, I have quite some catching up to do.

Here's a few photos from the weekend to get you started, but hang in there as I sort out the tales of scandal and sensation.

Stuffing

Last night, Angel and I went over to help stuff some of the White Party goodies that are going to land in the hands of party goers at the April 18 - 21 event in Palm Springs.

It stuffers were:
....the fabulous, fierce and fantastic guys behind the site - Tyler & Jim.
...the singer boy Brad with his Ed Hardy hat on sideways. I kept thinking he was heading out by the way his hat was pointed. *wink*
...this other funny guy named Blinky/Binky/Bloopy or something who has something to say about everything and is HILARIOUS. He needs his own TV show. He cracks me up.
...Angel Benton and I.

The boys at www.UndieTwinks.com had waterproof containers that you can wear around your neck to put your ID, drink tickets, stashes, etc. while you are at the pool parties. We stuffed the containers with 3 free days of access to the site, so get ready for some goodies if you are headed to the party.

It felt like we were around a campfire as we all sat cross legged on the floor around a big pile of plastic containers. Either that or a bra burning of 60's.

They were so thankful that we helped them, and that cracks me up. I think a good 10% of my adult life has been stuffing giftbags for some event or another, so I don't look at it as that big of a thing. Once you get into the rhythm of doing it, no matter the bag, what's going in it, it's a breeze. It's always takes a few minutes to adjust and then, it's like trick-or-treating on Groundhog Day when it just keeps repeating and repeating and repeating and repeating and repeating. *wink* We keep reaching out and stuffing the bag with the next treat.

Get ready for some fundie with UndieTwinks at the White Party Palm Springs 2008.
