Masterbeat-down?

We are confused. So did Masterbeat take home the trophy this weekend in the tournament or is this an award for hottest dodgeball team ever assembled? You be the judge. xoxo

Balls to the StoneWall

We don't even know where to begin about the shit show that was the end of the season party for BAD! on Monday night at Stonewall. There was dancing, there was hula hooping, there was making out, there were awards, there were shirtless boys, there was beer pong, there were rubber balls pelting people in the face, and there was a whole lotta drinking. BAD! celebrated the end of the season as only they knew how to by drinking the place dry!

The night started out innocently enough. Mixing and mingling for the happy hour special, noshing on some catered food, and flirting up a storm. Poppi and Niki served as the hostesses with the mostesses by MC'ing the Trophies (#1st for Gym Bar, #1st for Eastern Bloc for winning tournament), MVP's, and the "fun awards".

You wonder what the "fun" entails? Some of our favorites included the biggest flirts going to Scotty and Ruby, best hidden talent going to Mikey for his amazing, um, skill, best six pack going to Ken, most likely to have team orgy going to WOOF!, and our personal favorite most likely to end up on gossipgays going to one of our favorite newbies Carrie 2.0. Although our favorite line from Poppi was her commenting on Esther's new haircut. We knew you were the funniest person in BAD!

We know those dodgeballers like to throw balls at each other when they are the Tony Dapolito Center, but god, can't you stop throwing them at each other when you are at the after parties? We narrowly avoided our death from all the little red stress balls that were being torpedoed at our faces after the awards (great idea Niki!). While we know everyone in the league has more than a little stress and aggression, perhaps next season we can think of a less dangerous way to take care of this?

We know the night might get a little hazy from this point on for some of the dodgeballers, but we saw Mikey and Mr. Wind, Carrie 2.0 and Danny, Carrie 2.0 and Scotty, Vat and Craig the ref getting quite friendly. We saw Ruby dirty dancing her pretty little heart out with various boys and girls. We gasped at the shirtless hotness that was Leven, Mr. Wind, and Cutrone. Although nothing in the night could quite top the "Thriller" dance performed by Shane, Vat, and a mystery cutie. We are still shaking the glitter our of our hair.

We have give the drag queen downstairs some credit where credit was due. She got the league's resident straight boy Kelly to take off his shirt for a shot. Every time we go to Stonewall, she harasses all of the boys, and usually she gets one to crack under pressure. We are happy she saved the best for last. We saw Gilbride and Erika in deep discussions downstairs either having a heart to heart or plotting away (we believe in the latter), and it was about that time the party started to move on to the after after party at Eastern Bloc.

A good chunk of the dodgeball crew headed from the west to the east and got their karaoke on. It was rip-roaring good time of a night. We saw a lot of familiar faces, hula hooped with the best of them, and eventually called out sick on Tuesday as anticipated. We have to say we might shed a tear next Monday when we have no one to play flip cup with, but alas fall is right around the corner. But let's be honest, our livers would break up with us if we continued to abuse it the way we have this spring, and god knows we need them for next season. xoxo

Sexy Can I?

We can't say we are surprised, I mean we have been obsessed with him since God created dodgeball, but he can add another trophy to his already crowded mantle. Gilbride housed the competition to become the Sexiest Male Vet of Spring '09, and the competition was fierce. What started out a two horse race between Gilbride and Endre, quickly became a fight to the finish as Leven came out of nowhere and commanded the poll over the weekend. But Gilbride fought back, gritted his teeth, and texted his all of his old tricks to vote for him. We could have called it from the beginning. He was the cutest vet last season, and we profiled him back last fall, so needless to say he is one of the most popular, hottest, and loudest people at the Tony Dapolito Center on Mondays. All in all, he has earned his crown and we hope he can defend his honor next season.

What did surprise us was the drama going on in the comment section. We thought we were nasty, but you queens were hitting, amongst other things, below the belt. There were some not so nice things said, but it did open our eyes to the fact that you guys want a little more input to these, so gossipgays listened and we are giving you a voice. Our next poll is for Best Dodgeball Player on the court and you get the chance to pick who you want in the poll. You have until tomorrow Friday May 8th at 5pm to either comment in this section (try not to be so anonymous this time) or send an email to BADgossipgays@gmail.com. We will pick the top 10 entries. If you send us an email you can also send us a photo, because Tyra said it best when she said, "Sometimes only you know your best angles". Now if we could only figure out how to smile with our eyes. xoxo

Sexiest Male Vet

Mirror mirror on the way, who is the hottest of them all?

Now that we know how you feel about the lovely ladies, let's get to boys in the league. Understand us when we tell you, we couldn't put EVERY guy from BAD! on here, but we thought we would pick some of the more popular ones with our readers. If there someone you feel is totally sexy and not on the list, tell us!

JT may have brought sexy back, but these boys are totally keeping sexy around. xoxo

The Return of Gilbride!

You know we had been thinking, why is it so darn quiet around dodgeball this season? We hadn't heard the term "We Don't Mess Around" when people won flip cup as of late, and we felt some much needed vet hotness had been missing from the after parties. It was something we just couldn't put our finger on...until now. On Monday, we squealed with glee at the Return of Gilbride. Seems someone went away to Mexico, got a nice ass tan, and came back twice as hot. We couldn't be happier that one of our favorite players is back and ready to rage. xoxo

In the Beginning

Remember in the beginning we were a bunch of precocious young dodgeballers with no clue how the season would turn out? Well we are getting all teary eyed now that BAD! is out of session, we decided to go back to where it all started, Henrietta Hudson's, and remember the way we were. Who are we kidding, we haven't changed a bit.

PTW is still looking fine, and we think he may be getting sexier with age. Vat, honey, let those hands wander.

The ladies are still out in full force. They are one of our favorite parts of the league. We know all the boys can hold their own, but the ladies put them in their place with their late night Cubbyhole after parties, and their undying love and affection for Dykey Mikey. We totally think there is NO ONE funnier than Poppi either.

We know Thom is still putting that tongue to good use, even back in the day. And Nick the Fireman is still trying to get in as many pictures as possible. B and Gilbride are still hamming it up for the camera, without them pictures would be tragically boring!

Back in the day we predicted that Edwin would be one of the most popular newbie and he didn't disappoint. We love that he was always the hit of the party whenever he came. Also when did Dom get so damn good at dodgeball? We were surprised how hard we got this season. And Niki and Jess remain some vets who we had the best time dancing with. They are dancing machines.

And we can lastly ask, who DOESN'T still want to kiss Weeks? He is so pretty it hurts. So we are totally j that Jess, B, and Niki all got way too close for comfort. One day, we keep telling ourselves, one day. xoxo

And The Winners Are...

After being totally j we didn't win an award at the End of the Season bash, we got all agro and decided to make our own awards, The GG's! We asked for you to vote for your favorites, and a lot of you told us who was the hottest and best in BAD! So without further ado, the winners:

Cutest Vet: (tie) PTW and Gilbride - We could not agree more. This killer combo will make you laugh your face off and give you a hard-on. Both equally pleasurable.

Hottest Body: Endre - This picture may not do his big guns justice, but this attractive rookie is hotter than a summer day in Georgia.

Sexiest Rookie: Scott C. - Quickly becoming a newbie sensation this season, we totally have a crush on Scott C. and it seems like a lot of you do too.

Dominates at Flip Cup: Niki -Watch yourself with this girl. She will kick your ass on and off the court. We actually think she got a minor Flip-Cup in college.

Best Dodgeballer: Monica - This bitch's "I Heart Carrie Underwood" headband and two handed throw have become her signature, and boy have some of players tried to throw like her with little success. We love her, but maybe she retire the ref whistle next season. We hate it when she starts to countdown.

Most Fashionable: (tie) Norman and V. - While we have a lot of love for Norman's notoriously short shorts, V's bangs have hypnotized us this season. We think both are totally fashion foward.

Most Memorable Moment: Pole Dancing at Henrietta Hudson's - OH.MY.BLOG. This was the most entertaining, outlandish, and hilarious moment of the season as V, Kelly, and Lori took their talents to the stripper pole. Any reason for Kelly to take off his shirt is reason enough for us to watch.

Best at Open Play AND Most Likely to Sleep With After Seeing Them Play: Kelly - He is one of the most polarizing players in the league. On the one hand he scares the bejesus out of us on the court with his powerful arm. On the other, we totally want to bang him. What's a girl to do?

So did the public get it right? Did your favorites win, or do you demand a recount? Sound off and let us know what you think. xoxo

A Hole in One.

Sometimes one party is just never enough for those dodgeballers. Last night after a fierce 9th week of dodging and weaving balls, some headed over to Stonewall (we hope no one ended up at G Lounge!) for some beverages and flip cup. Boy were they surprised by the brazeningly funny and frank drag queen who was calling out numbers for Bingo downstairs. We wish we could remember her name but we were so transfixed we forgot to ask!

She got a lot of the dodgeball boys to do some dirty things, for just a shot. We loved it when she coaxed Thom to give a peek of his derrier for some liquor, but our favorite part of the night belongs to Gilbride. He not only got shirtless, but he got a straight boy, gulp, who was in from out of town on a class trip, double gulp, and was about to head to military college, we just died, to give him a kiss on the cheek. We were wondering if he was gonna slip him some tongue, but Gilbride's way too classy for that naturally.

Oh and there was a fierce game of flip cup upstairs but we got so hazy from all of the shots, we hardly got the chance to play. Then we headed over to Cubby Hole for Niki's "Un-birthday" party. We are still a little unclear about what we were celebrating, but we don't need a reason to take down some $4 Mojitos. The ladies were in full effect, but we think the guys outnumbered the girls for the first time ever at Cubby Hole!

We loved the music, but we didn't like the cold. So many people had jackets and bags that were shoved in the corner, we are suprised we found our jackets at the end of the night. Luckily nothing was stolen and we got the chance to dance our asses off at the music selection, Dykey Mikey was that you had us rocking out to Gun and Roses?

We are actually starting to think the after after parties are becoming all the rage. While calling out to work on Tuesday shouldn't be a weekly thing, it may be worth it from time to time. xoxo

A Little Pole Goes A Long Way.

And we ain't kidding!

After an intense night of play, what better way to relieve all that stress than get on a pole and strip your troubles away? It seemed to be the place to be at Henrietta Hudson's for post play. Boys and girls alike worked that pole giving us their best Anna Nicole, and boy was the crowd loving it.V and Lori worked it like pros, but no one got quite the response that one of our fave newbies Kelly did. He worked it out (twice mind you) all because Scott E. said he would buy him a shot. He even got more naked than we think he thought he was gonna get, courtesy of Koray (god bless your Turkish soul). All we have to say, if you are looking for a little cash around the holidays Kelly, you know where your talents lie.

We also got the chance to hang with old our friend Mark Maraccini who founded the BAD! league 3 seasons ago. He was in from LA and doing a little checkup on how the league has progressed since the 8 teams last in Fall '07. Well with 12 teams playing this fall, and the league always expanding, we are going to say it turned out pretty well. This picture can only be dubbed "The Forefathers of Gay Dodgeball".

We are going to also go on record and say it was the horniest night of post-play we have ever seen. Rachna, our dodgeball fashionista, was in rare form. We saw her serving drinks to people, getting dangerously close to the pole, and making out with the lovely lady bartenders. We also noticed several other smooches going on, Sanchez and Craig (who was straddling some Non-BAD! boy by the cage), Sergio and Beaux, and Gladiator Jen and Poppi behind a curtain. We saw one of these couples leave discreetly alone one by one, but shockingly about a minute apart.

The thing that shocked us the most was probably the slap heard round the world. We know Edwin is a very popular newbie, and Gilbride is probably one of the most popular vets around. So why did Gilbride haul off and slap Edwin right across his pretty face? We are hoping it was all in good fun, but let's really hope it was just a little foreplay. xoxo.

Body Shots In The Dark

So it was Nick the Fireman's birthday at the View Bar on Monday, and he did what any good dodgeball playing boy would do for his birthday, he took a body shot off a hot guy. We happen to be resident experts in the art of drinking and body shots happen to be a specialty of ours. So let us help you amateurs out.

Tip#1 - Find a Strong Shot

We know this may sound easy, but trust me no lemondrop shots are gonna fly at an establishment like View Bar. You gotta dig deep and go to a place you haven't been to since high school. Remember that time you threw up because you had too many shots of So-Co? Well get ready to relive your adolscence. Jaegar, Goldschlager, and our favorite Tequila will do just fine.

Tip #2 - Find a Hot Guy

Any old twink just won't do. You need to find someone with a little meat on their bones. Bears in this situation would not be a good idea since the thought of getting those little black hairs out of your mouth is supposed be something you do later in the evening. Usually a hot boy will attract a big crowd, because let's face it, who doesn't like to see a hot boy take off his shirt? In this situation Gilbride a great job of scaring up a decent crowd of rowdy men just waiting to see him give us a peek of his happy trail.

Tip#3 - Make Sure You Finish with Gusto!

Sure you can be lame and take the shot and be done, but what's the point of wasting this opportunity? After you take the shot and the crowd goes wild, enjoy the mayhem and plant a kiss on the hot boy. It's the perfect way to get a no strings attached kiss and it makes the crowd go twice as wild. If you really get gutsy, since you are already at his navel proceed to venture south and who knows where you may get from there...

Bear Soup

In case you were wondering the ingredients to make Bear Soup...

Start off with a hefty gold chain, make sure it's around a cute cub celebrating his birthday.

Mix in hot otters, let it come to a simmering boil.

Finally top it off with a Dirty Martini and you have yourself the best soup you can find at Truckstop.

Party Crashing

This weekend certainly busy, and there was no shortage of birthdays to be drinking at. Some of our favorite highlights:

- We finally managed to get a drink at the 9th Ave Saloon for Monica's birthday, and boy was it a workout. The bar was packed (we are pretty sure it hadn't been that packed since the 1988 Leather Party) and the jukebox was fierce. We got our "Naughty" stamp (which still hasn't come off our hand!) and cheap drinks and tried to say hello to the birthday girl but even we had to wait in line just to say we were off to Vlada.

- Niki rocked it out in Queens no less, with the wonderful ladies of B.A.D., and we swear, they totally get more action than the guys. They sang, they drank, they got down with their bad selves.

- On Sunday night we played our favorite guessing game:  how many leather bears would it take in a hot tub to make bear soup? Well if it's for Gilbride's birthday (and the end of Leather Weekend), the answer is as many as it can hold. His par-tay at the Park was off the chain and we saw some hot leather daddies in action. The burlesque show was as Rachel Zoe would say "to die", and we are so happy Thom and Mike braved the hot waters of the tub and added their own peas and carrots to make "bear stew". Does Rachael Ray have that recipe for her 30 minute meals? We don't think so.

Styling and Profiling: Mike G.

Gossipgays is going to start a weekly profile series on people in BAD we think kick ass. Not just kick ass, but kick ass so amazingly, everyone should know who they are and suck up to them to be their friends. Our first BAD ass is quite possibly the funnest out of the whole lot. It' s the unstoppable and single, Gilbride. Ladies and Gents, if you don't know who he is yet, you should totally facebook his ass!

Let us list the reasons we love him so:

First of all, he looks hot without shirt. Not just hot, but like so hot you wish he never wore one.

He's a funny motherfucker. Like funnier than Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin at a gun show talking about Alaska, Joe Six-Packs, and Bristol. He has us rolling on the floor whenever he opens his mouth.

He ALWAYS has the shortest shorts and the tallest socks (and filling them out very nicely we might add) on the court. We realize Norman loves a good pair of pink shorts, but Mike is WORKING it. If Tim Gunn were at Tony Dapolito's he would say: "Mike, frankly I have nothing more to say. You made it work. Carry on."

He's a team player, and he always looks out for his friends. Everyone loves the guy, how could you not? Look he even matches his socks to his shirt!

Apparently men travel from all over the place just for a little Gilbride loving. Wasn't there something about a boy from Canada...

He is always posing. He knows how to work his angles. Tyra would be very proud!

Back in the day he went to McLean High School and get this participated in the 1997-98 VHSL State Forensics Meet. He did finish 6th in the AAA division of the Storytelling portion, but c'mon give the girl some credit for trying. (It's amazing what you find on the internet these days...)

He's a master at flip cup, we would totally never kick him off in survivor flip cup.

He also can take a shot with the best of them. We know he has quite the penchant for Jaegar.

If you see Mike, there is a chance you will see his bestie Shane too. They are inseperable and like a comedic duo every time we see them.

And lastly, can we just reiterate, bitch knows how to POSE. Isis, you could take a couple lessons from Ms. Gilbride.

We heard it was Mike's birthday party this weekend on Sunday, a party sure not to be missed at The Park (10th and 18th) from 6-11 in the Penthouse and Red Room. Apparently there will be shots and hot tubs, what more could we ask for?
