Spotted: Scared Straight

We don't know what was in the drinks at Cubbyhole on Monday, but our spies report some frisky behavior went down and some very interesting pairings happened. Do we sense a new trend for this season? xoxo

Case of the Missing After Party

In it's second week of play, albeit snowy winter play, most of league showed up for BAD! on Monday, and the games were intense. Eastern Bloc won both of their games again making them the team to beat in the competition this season. According to the stats, they are in first, but they haven't won the most games out of the league. Stonewall and Gym Bar have won 9 out 12, while Eastern Bloc has only won 8 out of 12. Although they have won more matches, which we think means more than winning more of the games.

Whatever place they are in didn't matter as we tried to steer clear on Monica in the open play, because girl looked like she was going to take off someone's head, and poor Lori looked like a deer in headlights as the last player standing against her in open play. We did see some new team flair, and we are loving it. Legally Blondes had pink bandanas and pink socks (BTW we loved Gilbride giving us full drag with the wig and vintage pink jacket), Henrietta's had some nifty green socks, Splash looked like they were going to war with the red face paint, and Eastern Bloc had some bedazzled headbands. All in all, the season is just beginning.

So we headed to G Lounge, and while we didn't quite get our flip cup fill, we did enjoy some tasty mixed drinks for once at after party. Although we felt like the place was a tad empty. I mean we loved that some of the after party favorites like Sergio, PTW, Endre, and Benji were there to mingle with, and we love that we spotted a newbie from Pieces with a shaved head macking it hardcore with the boys for a second week in a row, we just felt like more people would have come. All in all, we blamed it on the snow, until we stumbled upon some pictures from the night.

We are a little confused, was there an after-after party we weren't invited to, or was this an alternative after party headed up by some the ladies in the league? Granted we did the Cubbyhole several times last season, and it was really fun, but why would people go there instead of G Lounge? Also we could swear we some people in the photos who were definately at G, so are there dueling after parties after dodgeball now?

Whatever the case may be, we better make sure to keep our ears open at the dodgeball court and find out where the real after party is going to be. After all, if there is an after party, and we aren't there to crash it, was it worth going to? xoxo

Snowball's Chance in Hell?

Yes those crazy dodgeballers are braving the cold and playing tonight. No snow day for the dodging.

We suggest you check the schedule and get there mad early before your game time like usual. It's probably going to be slippery, so be careful.

Post-play party tonight is at G Lounge (225 W. 19th St. @ 7th Avenue). Hmm...sad no flip cup. We may have to actually make conversation. xoxo

HGH

Hey Girl, Heeeeey.

Some people will do anything in these hard economic times. xoxo

Overheard 2-26

Knock Knock.

Who's there?

Versace.

Versace who?

(sigh and roll your eyes) God fashion can be so fickle...

Le Cage Aux Follies

Who watches the dodgeballers? We do obviously, and boy did we watch a lot happen on the first night of season 4 on Monday. A lot of teams are really good, and a lot of newbies are really cute! While some have already started getting acquainted, most of them came ready to play (with each other).

Stonewall took the night winning all 6 games, with Gym Bar, Caraway & Sciacca, and Eastern Bloc hot on their tails. Can we also say we are loving the names of teams this year. We are curious, what is your favorite team name though? Comment away!

While we headed over to Henrietta Hudson's for the after-party we nearly squealed when we saw a table full of pizzas. The fat girl inside of us completely indulged, and we were happy to oblige her. Over on the flip cup table, things started getting a little frisky (par for the course). We saw some forced kisses, and some who took it to a whole new level. We gotta give Zack and Vat props for properly ruling the table, and for showing some much needed skin!

We kinda love that someone thought it would be fun to squeeze as many dodgeballers in the cage as possible. We aren't sure exactly how many fit in, or where some people's hands were wandering, but it sure made for great bar fodder. It was after this that we start to see some unneccessary arm touches and long gazing stares happen, and we knew some people were getting lucky.

We did see some tape on Craig's finger at the bar and it looks like he may have been injured on the court. Shocking we know. We hope he didn't get it from what looks like a bar fight with Benji, who we are convinced looks like a 70's porn star with that handlebar mustache. We also must compliment Natalie, a cute newbie, who stayed on the flip cup table and dominated! Niki you may have some stiff competition this year.

As the night winded down he saw our usual cast of characters make their exits, tricks in tow. Surprisingly a lot of newbies have gone home with other newbies. Apparently the veterans may be old news, or just plain old. Whatever the case, we are sure all of that will change next week. xoxo

Caged Heat

How many dodgeballers can you fit into one cage at Henrietta Hudson's at the first after party of season 4? We think there is a joke in there somewhere, but we will let you make the punchline. xoxo

Any Reason To Party...

Is reason for us to show up. BAD! kicked off the season at HK Lounge and boy did it just go down hill from there. From the open bar from 9-10 to trying to remember what teams people were on, we just think it was all a little bit much. The name tags definitely helped when we couldn't remember our own names, but honestly it was just a rip roaring out of control night. We would expect nothing less.

So after sizing up the competition and figuring out what team everyone was on, we immediately grabbed another drink and saw A LOT of cute newbies. Who would have thunk all of those football boys would join the dodgeball league?? We get it that BAD! is getting popular but now other leagues are trying to get in on the action. We will not be having any of that.

One person we did not expect to be trying to get in on the dodgeball boys was Michael Urie of Ugly Betty. We saw him there and wondered what the hell he was doing at the party! Apparently the same thing we were, looking for a little bit of action. Well good luck Michael, because if you can't throw a ball hard, you will probably strike out with a lot of the boys you were eyeing.


So we saw our fair share of hookups, c'mon when Paul the Commissioner is getting cozy in the corner and not running his mouth off, you think we wouldn't notice? We danced on the stairs with Weeks and we think he should totally go-go in these hard economic times. Although he totally wore us out and after examining the after-party situation we headed over to Barrage. What we didn't expect was Happy Hour from 11-12. Score!

We don't remember much other than the fact that we saw newbies making out hard core on the dance floor, we maybe got a little excited Vinny and RJ showed up without their boyfriends, and drinks were mad cheap. We do however remember making a hasty exit to Posh where we continued the dodgeball tradition of the after after party. You know those dodgeballers can never be satisfied with just one after party, and that's why we love them. xoxo

Spotted: BAD! Opening Night Party

That's right BAD! had a kickoff party last night before they start playing this Monday and it was quite the party. While we try to nurse the hangover from last night's open bar and various after-parties, we will leave you with a little tease of how the night played out. We are very happy even the newbies know how to party with those crazy dodgeballers and to think they haven't even stepped on the court yet. xoxo

Spotted: Hanging With Mr. Cooper

No we are not referring to the amazing ABC sitcom starring Mark Curry, but to our crush over at CNN. Our boy Anderson was spotted having a cozy dinner with a latino cutie pie uptown at Cafe Des Artistes a couple of nights ago. We may still not be over the 60 Minutes piece that had Michael Phelps racing Anderson in a pool. Wait, did Anderson really think Phelps wouldn't beat him in a race in a pool right after the Olympics? We bet Anderson just wanted to see Phelps in a speedo again like we did. xoxo

I Ain't One To Gossip 2-13

Which supposed aggressive top is (forgive our pun) blowing a lot of smoke up our asses about his preferred position. This bossy bottom is a real hearthrob on the court, but in the sack he's a real pushover. xoxo

This Just In...

Hi, we at gossipgays are reporting on the late breaking news story of the kissing bandit. His kisses have run rampant all over uptown this week, and we have the evidence to prove it.

Apparently there was a series of tongue lashings (literally)that ran rampant at a flip cup game recently by a ridiculously adorable male caucasian in a backwards hat. Victims described him an irresistable, and our news desk has received a cryptic email from a source that said, "There is more where this came from." How exciting!

We don't know how many victims there were, or how severe the lashings were, we just hope it escalated and someone was there to capture it. If anyone can identify the kissing bandit, we would love to know who this man is, and what his phone number is!

We plan to continue updating you on this ongoing news story. xoxo

What A Hoot!

So after creeping on facebook, we stumbled upon some interesting pictures. From what we can gather a bunch of our favorite dodgeballers got together at Hooters (?!) to partake in some drinks and girls (?!). While this may seem like an ordinary thing guys who play dodgeball do, we know these boys are not like your typical frat guys. In fact we know for a fact some of these boys were more interested in the other boys in this picture than a Hooter's waitress (well almost all of them except for Kelly). So this raises many questions...

Did these dodgeballers just meet up at Hooter's on a random Monday night because they miss the days of dodgeball past? Well boys, dodgeball is coming back in a big way in less than two weeks so fear not! Granted we don't think Gym Bar will bring you what looks like 50 hot wings, but they do usually have pretty good pizza if you get there early (or if you are like us we always seem to just miss it). Perhaps they met up for a special occassion like...

Kelly's birthday?? How did we miss that reminder on facebook? We are practically beaten over the head with reminders of people you may know from a random night at Woof! or your second cousin's birthday that you can never seem to remember off the top of your head. How the hell did we miss an occassion like this? It seems like a lot of people from the league came out for it too. Which leads us to our next question...

Who the hell are these hot guys? If you look closely at the group picture you see some new adorable faces amongst your old favorites and past tricks. We don't who brought them or where they came from, but please bring them again!! We love that hot newbie Scott C. finally has someone else to sit next to who loves baseball caps as much as he does (don't worry gray shirt likes his backwards!) but we wonder if they can play as good as they look. So we couldn't help but wonder...

Are these new hot guys playing this season, hence pre-season flip cup game? Anybody knows in BAD! you must be as good in flip cup as you are on the court. The two practically go hand in hand. So from the looks of it, those vets may have some stiff competition. Although we must admit, this flip cup didn't look like your grandfather's game of flip cup. No it looks like the stakes were raised...

Have those dodgeballers found a way to merge their two favorite past times: flip cup and making out? From the looks of it backwards hat hottie has found a friend at the flip cup table. Also did Hooter's finally give in to their straight clientele and get a flip cup table? Or have those pesky dodgeballers taken over America's wings establishment with their wicked ways?

Whatever the reason, we are sure there must be more pictures out there. We know those dodgeballers never leave home without their flair and their cameras. If you got them send them in, and if you know what actually went down, please share. We totally are jealous we weren't invited, but from the looks of it, it may have been a little too crazy for even us. xoxo

BAD! is Back

"What team am I on?"
"When does the season start?"
"What cute newbies are joining this season?"

These are the questions you have asked and answers are forthcoming!!

The Spring Season Kick Off party is happening on Saturday, Feb. 21 at HK Lounge (405 W 39th St between 9th Ave & Dyer Ave).

Festivities start at 7:30pm, and we can hope you pace yourself. If it's at HK Lounge, we are sure there is an open bar somewhere along in the night. We are kinda nervous to party with those dodgeballers on a Saturday, mainly because if we are that hungover on Tuesday mornings, we can only imagine what that Sunday will feel like.

We also heard the first day of regular season play starts at 7pm on Monday, Feb. 23 at the Tony Dapolito Recration Center. To tell you the truth, it couldn't come any sooner. We can't wait to see some of our old favorites again, and get back back into the swing of things, literally. xoxo

I Ain't One To Gossip 2-4

Could it be a certain newbie from last season is moonlighting as a fag rag model? One of our readers saw this ad in Next Magazine and thought there was quite a resemblence between this hunk and a certain newbie who just lost their job. We get it, we're in a recession and times are tough. We guess some people will do anything to bring home the bacon. xoxo
