Truly Outrageous

So last night's 80's party at the Eagle may have felt like this for a lot of people....

But we have to admit everyone came fully dressed to the nines, and wow there were some great outfits. For instance:

Karate Kid was in FULL effect!

Apparently nothing screams 80's like white trash and handlebar mustaches.

Headbands were the accessory du jour.

These guys are 2 members away from actually being The Breakfast Club. How cute is Mezzano in that preptastic white ensemble? These three could be our runners up for favorite outfit of the night.

We loved that Vanessa rocked the one piece blue jumper complete with bright flashy jewelry. You are hot.

We don't even know where to begin with outfit on BBahr, but it kinda turns us on and scares at the same time. Definitely one of our favorites, just mind the tan lines next time.

We loved that glitter was in full effect on Scotty last night.

The off the shoulder shirts ala Flashdance were also in full effect last night.

Words can not express how confused we were when we saw Norman's outfit. We actually didn't even recognize Norman, but sure enough he looked like Ellen Barkin circa 1987. It was like something out of Working Girl. Also Daniel, those bedroom eyes are dangerous. You kept giving them to us all night and we will one day take you up on your offer.

The team that really worked it out last night was Project Sandwich. We would be the meat between those slices of bread any day of the week. So what did YOU think of the 80's party last night. Did we miss anything, or was the night a complete blur for you too? xoxo

Not Too eXESsive

Spotted: Some dodgeballers getting their dance on (shocker, we know) and last night was no exception. The night may not have been as great as after-parties before, but for goodness sake, when will the bars finally book enough bartenders to handle all of the thirsty homos! It seems like after sweating their way through the games last night (how HOT was that damned gym) they were ready to get hot and sweaty with each other. The favorite of this season's newbies, Nick, is on a roll this season, and we think he may have dropped his last boytoy Sykes for Mr. Wind. They were a little too close for comfort last night, and speaking of too close we saw Mikey Guggs getting *awfully* close with the man many debate could be the best catch this season...Brian B. We saw some homos outside attempting to play cards (who play cards at bars?) and there was an awfully sweet message recorded for B. Chen (he went to the ER, what details please). We were loving the outdoor deck until we urgently got kicked off, but we caught one of our refs under some asian persuasion. Wait two bottoms doesn't exactly add up to a top to us. The old Eastern Bloc forced us to listen to their awful cheer (again shocker we know). Flip-cup was PG, and not to our liking. Eduardo was getting his flirt on but no more than Sergio. The man kicking ass in the Best Catch poll is still showing his underwear to barely legal boys. We guess some things never change. xoxo

Duplexal Tension

After a weekend of sunny weather and outdoor dodgeball action (did anyone else get as tan as us?), the merry men and women of BAD! came together on a dark stormy night. Not much happened on the court last evening, but off the court was a different story -which we will get to later. Open play was well attended and super fun. We must give kudos to the board for extending the open play time: well done! Then the only other mentionables is that Team Eduardo *we mean Eagle* finally had a game taken from them by Gym Bar (Gym and the Holograms = totally the cutest team name ever) and Project Sandwich ate their way to a well deserved victory. If you ask us, other than Eagle, there are no clear break away teams this season. Hmmmm, do you think maybe the board feted the teams? It also seems that they feted it so that no fun people ended up on any of the same teams. The overall attitude in the gym is pretty low energy if you ask us… What’s up with that?

Anyways, on to the good stuff: the after party at Duplex. It was quite funny to watch the dodgeballers roll in to Duplex all wet and when they got to the top of the stairs, looking around thinking, “Did I go to the right bar?” Don’t worry kids, you did. We know that Poppi wasn't there to ply us with drinks and Lady Gaga, but the post-game fun was just in the cabaret in the back. And fun it was. Perhaps you can blame it on Spring Fever, but the ‘ballers were all a bit frisky last night. Flip-Cup ruled the small theatre’s stage for the beginning of the night and everyone started to get cozy with a drink. Eduardo, Jacob and Trevor were arm wrestling in back. Apparently Eduardo and Trevor are all quiet on the hook up front, so there has to be a different way to release the sexual tension. We know Jacob would have been happy to help them with their "release".

Then Steve had the idea to change the game up a bit and do “Lip Sync For Your Life” a la RuPaul’s Drag Race. The idea had promise, and some of us were very excited to see which members would give it a go. But then it dawned on us: this was just another opportunity for attention whores (*cough* BBahr & Mikey *cough*) to beg for the spotlight some more. Luckily, we were treated to some guest stars that made us smile like Vanessa and Castellano, but our attention waned quickly and couldn’t wait for the awkwardfest to end. Steve: valiant effort, but let’s not do that again. We are still cringing a bit today at work.

With the lip service over, boys started to pair up and the new hot couple of the moment (Nick and John) was seen leaving together for a second week in a row. We wonder if they had to flip a coin for our favorite game, "Who's gonna bottom tonight?"… Then thankfully the flip cup table came back. We flipped for a bit and checked out the trade at the table, but what surprised us the most were the amount of girls that came to party. And they didn’t just sit in the corner and chat among themselves this time around. They are going to give the boys a run for their money this season. The flip cup was mostly straight forward other than a tepid attempt to get Truth or Dare going. Rumor has it that upper management is trying to put the kibosh on that game, but we’ll see how well they pull that off. Endre was throwing himself at Andreau the whole game, (can they be required to play with their shirts off this season?), Nicole and Jason traded shirts (how fierce is that girl?), we saw Bex bench pressing the boys (pocket gays at that) and guys were making out with girls (ew).

But then the royal rumpus started. Out of nowhere, Stacey, who spent most of her night in deep conversation with that blond bombshell Rachel just outside the party (Oh my! ladies Eastern Bloc was soooo last season) decided that winning last season’s “Loveliest Lady” contest wasn’t the only title she wanted: she wanted to win the WWE Championship belt as well. Like out of a scene of Wrestlemania VI, her and super cute Laura started getting down and dirty. Not that we were complaining, give the girls some jello and bikinis and we could make some serious cash at the next after-party. It was almost as if they were at a Home Depot super sale and there was only one power drill left. Stacey definitely had the upper hand but Laura held her own and thankfully when Stacey finally pinned Laura they were still all smiles. The lesbionic sexual tension was delicious. Keep it up ladies; we love when you party hard.

The night started to wind down, the music got shut off and the girls were reprimanded for wrestling, but WAIT! Jason K came to the rescue armed with pizza and munchies, and the remaining dodgeballers chowed down like they were fat kids at an all you can eat buffet. For the future, avoid all things garlic past midnight. It was at that point and we watched BBahr go home without Steve for the second time, mostly so Steve could stay and satiate his wandering eye on the flip cup table (even Stevie Wonder saw this one coming kids) and the remaining ladies and gentlemen made desperate attempts to find someone to walk home with in the rain. That was our cue to exit before we took advantage of one those lonely boys or girls. We guess when it rains, it pours. xoxo

Winner Winner

Not only did the Eagle team take 1st for the season, but they did some serious damage last night in the tournament and won the whole she-bang. They were a fierce team and proved it so. Congrats to all of them for playing a great season and being the first in dodgeball history to not only win the season but the tournament! Winning is always sweet, but victory is sweeter. xoxo

The Eagle Has Landed

They said no one could beat them and for 11 weeks they were right. Although last night XES took down the mighty Eagle Team to make sure they didn't go the whole season undefeated. It was star players Symmes vs. Eduardo in a showdown that was surely brewing behind the scenes. We have the whole video of Game 3 (after both teams each won a game) and you can tell the game came down to the very end with Symmes making 2 amazing catches with less than 30 seconds on the clock. Although we don't know who was happier: Symmes or the guy behind the camera. xoxo

Biggest BAD! Ass

We asked the burning question of who you thought was the best dodgeball player this season, and you answered. Eduardo of Pieces can be rest assured no one wants to be on the receiving end of his throws. From Day 1 he has been a spit fire on the court, and there are more than a few people who have the bruises to prove it. He has made a name for himself in the league, and if you have hung out at any after party you should know he is one of the nicest and most endearing people in BAD!

That's not to say we still wouldn't want to be in a showdown with him next season, but we do like to drink and dirty dance with him after the games. Symmes and Monica rounded out the poll taking second and third respectively. We personally think everyone in BAD! is amazing, but sometimes certain people are just a tad more amazing than others. We just hope Eduardo doesn't get too cocky next season because there is always someone bigger and better who will come along and get him the very same bruises he inflicts on others. Karma's a bitch. xoxo

Spotted: Next Magazine

It seems BAD! at the Bachelor Auction was all over the back of Next Magazine in the Shot in the Dark section. NYC's favorite fag rag found Eduardo and Kelly getting chummy, Weeks with barely a shirt (just the way we like it), and Ed from Splash representing and trying to raise some much need funds for the league.


We love that these guys are recreating their look that gave them 5 seconds of fame. They shouldn't worry because they will always be famous on the court of the Tony Dapolito Center. Isn't that what counts at the end of the day? xoxo

Karao-Gay

Last Monday, BAD! got their dodgeball on, and it was craziness on the courts. Every team was fighting mad, and as usual the games were fierce. Gym Bar still continues to dominate the season just ahead of Stonewall, and as usual swept all 6 games. According to the standings they are the ones to beat this season, and with only about a handful of weeks left in the season, someone needs to knock them off their pedestal.

The after party was a rocking good time, and for a change on the east side at Eastern Bloc. Not only was there karaoke to be sung, but there was a mini flip cup table, where not a whole lot of flip cup actually happened. We hear there was a dirty game Shoulders 1, 2, 3 where if you didn't follow the rules you had to take a drink and kiss the person to your left. Let's just say it got pretty frisky, pretty fast.

So everyone had a turn at unleashing their inner Beyonce and stepped up to sing some karaoke. We heard Eduardo do "La Isla Bonita" (how very latin of him), Big Vinny and Niki tackle "Love Shack", Cutrone belt it out on "Sweet Caroline", and we were introduced to Freddy (a non-dodgeballer) who single handedly slayed "Georgia On My Mind". All in all, we were quite impressed by music skills on everyone, but we think you shouldn't let your dreams go of ruling at the Tony Dapolito Center any time soon.

Naturally there was a pole, and of course the dodgeballers were dancing the hell out of it. We saw quite a few people take a turn on it, and we found it entertaining that when James the gym teacher and his crew mysteriously disappeared and reappeared all red eyed and cotton mouthed grinding on the pole. Guess for some it just takes a little liquid courage, and for others an herbal refreshment. We have to give kudos to Kelly who mastered the pole again, with the help of a certain lady friend. We believe a pole is where Kelly was born.

It was quite the surprise when Justin Bond, of Kiki and Herb, sauntered into Eastern Bloc and mixed and mingled with the league. By mix and mingle we actually mean sit in the back and stare at the drunken shenanigans going on around her. We do have to give her props where props are deserved. She belted out one hell of a Stevie Nicks tune, and she did it well. She, of course, looked flawless and was gorgeous as a virgin on prom night.

We saw our fair share of makeouts, and we will go on record, and say we have never seen so much tongue at an after party. We don't what was in the water, but we did see one newbie in particular makeout with 5, yes 5!, other guys in the course of the after party. He's ruthless on the court, and a lothario off of it apparently. The after-after party continued on to D-Tox where it only got drunker and sloppier. After a couple of drinks we had to call it a night. We were certain our tongues, and liver, needed a rest if we ever hoped to see the weekend. xoxo
