I Ain't One To Gossip 11-5

Which dodgeballer should really calm down on their constant use of Grindr? We have heard from people that the late night booty calls are fast and furious, but when it comes time to put out or shutup our dear friend Grindr Gabe backs out at the last minute. Tsk, tsk Gabe, didn't your mother ever teach you that you shouldn't ever stand up your tricks? xoxo

Mad As Hell

So we know a lot of anger sometimes spills out of the Tony Dapolito Center but usually it's left on the courts. Although it looks like one of our readers is mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. See what they said:

"Grrr. I'm sick and tired of the way Tony D staff treats us each and every week. Plus this place is rampant with mice and cocha rocha's and never has soap in the bathrooms. gossipgays do you magic and get people to voice their opinions to the Commisioner of Parks and Recs. This is some serious bull shit and the gays need to stand up to this crap."

You feel the same way? Well take 2 minutes out of your day and write to Parks and Rec center here. Maybe if enough people get as mad as this something will actually be done. xoxo

Rock the Vote

So Kurt from The Eagle team is not only a total cutie, ok maybe we are suckers for guys in pictures with dogs, but he needs your vote! See he's competiting on the Time Out NY website for Best New Bottom, err, Arrival. If that isn't reason enough to vote for him, he gives a shoutout to BAD! in his bid for America's Next Top Model, we mean, Best New Arrival.

Kurt Dyer, 29; program and operations manager, Public Allies New York; Greenpoint, Brooklyn
“I just arrived to New York about five months ago from Milwaukee, and I’m bringing my down-home Midwestern-ness to the fast-paced new life I’ve already come to love. I get to do amazing social-justice leadership work for an organization connected to Michelle Obama. Every Tuesday is ‘Topless Tuesdays’ on my blog (dyertimes.com). I have a heart-on for roller-derby queen Suzy Hotrod. And my dodgeball squad, Team Eagle, can beat up yours.”

Even though we know his team literally can't beat us up, vote for his fine ass anyways. xoxo

Spotted: Dirty Dancing

It may have been the end of the night, but these two still managed to get down and dirty on the dancefloor of Splash in the wee hours of the morning. We have seen moves like these before, but it usually involved putting Baby in the corner. xoxo

Making A Splash!

Don't let those dodgeballers confuse you. You may have seen them stumble upon Splash for it's weekly Musical Mondays, and while they claim not to be theater queens, we saw many a Mary singing along to Xanadu like it was their job. Yup, for the eighth week of the season Splash was the afterparty but it wasn't your normal Musical Monday. Pizza, flipcup, and the World Series game filled the downstairs, while those who wanted a little Barbara in their lives ventured upstairs. The 2 for 1's were dangerous, but not as dangerous as a good ol' game of Truth or Dare.

The dares were going around like the swine flu. We saw lap dances, there was break dancing, and the occassional go-go dancing, but it was the truths in the game that really got some of the boys blood bubbling. There were some confessions from certain people about crushes, sexual preferences, and who was, ahem, cut at the table. Every week the game gets a little more intense, and the stakes are raised just a tad bit more. For the most part we saw a certain vet working his magic on the newbies, and one by one they fell under his spell. We always knew he was the quite the dodgeball hearthrob, we just didn't realize how good his game was. Oh who are we kidding we have seen him play dodgeball, we know he's that good. xoxo

Who Whore It Better: Phantom Menaced

These two phantoms almost had the same outfit, but Vinny decided to lay it all out on the line with a vest, tie, and a smile. Meanwhile Gary played it up with a dramatic scarf, but our question is which of these two opera hotties would YOU like to sing to you the 'Music of the Night'? xoxo

Mask And You Shall Recieve

So BAD! decided to have a Masked Party and invited everyone they knew, and I don't think they expected the outrageous and often amazing response that happened at The Eagle last night. There were those who spent hours on their costume, those who felt a little frisky and went half naked, and then there was the ode to Lady Gaga. Hands down the most creative and best of the bunch. That is until Ms. Effie walked through the door.

Daaayyuuummm girl. We hardly recognized you. How have you hid this femme fatale for so long? We give props where props are deserved, and all we have to say is she brought it last night. She also won the costume contest, and it looks like she got Jason, who was trying out for the Phantom of the Opera sequel, by her side. Between all of the pizza, candy, and beers, we are surprised we didn't bust out of our costumes. Some people actually had enough room for a little apple bobbing.

That's right it's just like you are in sixth grade all over again, and while we are sure some of the dodgeballers had no problem with getting down and dirty, it's actually a little more difficult that one might imagine. Rob from American Apparel took home the award for most bobs in a dodgeball event. That boy couldn't get his head outside the water. He just kept going in for more, which is totally why we adore him.

As the night wore on, people started to take off their masks and let their hair down a bit. We saw a couple of teammates getting quite cozy, well actually there were three of them at the bar but one of them left, and the two teammates kept going at it. We could hear Eastern Bloc shouting about something, will they ever shutup?

We saw a newbie in a phantom mask on top of a certain WOOF! member towards the end of the night, and we won't get into what we experienced on the second floor. All we will say is that if you wanted to know why The Eagle is the dirtiest gay bar in Manhattan, the second floor was proof!

Overall we had a blast, and well let's just say everything got crazier at the afterparty at Barracuda. Why is one party not enough with you people? We took off our mask and headed home because if there isn't anything scarier than having a Halloween party at the Eagle, it's realizing the next morning that the trick you brought home doesn't look so great without a mask on. xoxo

Who Whore It Better: Masked Edition

We are suckers for the little black bow tie look. Our question is did Norman totally upstage Carrie 2.0 by giving you a full suit look? Or did Carrie and that oh so shimmery tank top seal the deal?

It should be who DIDN'T wear it better! Not that we are complaing because any excuse to get JP and Chris shirtless is totally justified in our book. So is the leather harness the accessory to accompany a shirtless night at The Eagle, or is simply bearing your buff bod enough? YOU be the judge. xoxo

Having A Ball!

Tonight's Masked Party is going to be insane, and we can't wait to see all of the masks that people are going to be wearing. Who will be spotted as a superhero? Which joker will undoubtedly try to find the funny in wearing a flu mask? Will people dress in full costumes? Will someone take a leather daddy or mommy home as a Halloween treat? The real question is who do YOU look forward to unmaking tonight? xoxo

When Push Comes To Shove...

Or should we say shoved? Someone in the league likes to cause trouble because this dodgeball cupid pushed a couple of underwear sponsored rival newbies into the room just off the front of the gym as a joke and the two were making out in no time. Is this the first time dodgeballers have hooked up INSIDE the gym since BAD! has began? We would love to see a show of hands on this one.

The afterparty WOOF! at View Bar was pretty hairy, literally. Throwing back cheap beers and even cheaper wings, the flip cup was rampant and the strippers were, um, bulging. We sang Happy Birthday to Nick the Fireman, we spotted Carrie 2.0 in a sling (and for the first time it was around her arm), and we sadly didn't win any porn in the raffle. The ladies were notoriously absent, do we think they perhaps had their own afterparty plans? The dodgeballers were on their best behavior, but we can only assume everyone is saving their energy for The Masquerade party tomorrow. We have our costume, do you have yours? xoxo

I Ain't One To Gossip 10-23

Which dodgeballer has some naughty videos out in cyberspace they should probably stop boasting about? It seems the more they talk about them, the more people start to find them and we hear it's a lot of hype for very little payoff. xoxo

Masked Intentions

This is a first. BAD! is throwing a spooky Masked Halloween party at their long-time yet little visited sponsor, The Eagle. The 1st floor is going to house the dodgeballers and guests exclusively for the masquerade ball, and rumors of an unmasking ceremony at some point gets us all tingly on the inside. We are happy the Eagle is finally getting some love, as their team is currently dominating in the standings, but yet BAD! never ventures there on Monday nights. We can only hope that by the time people start losing their masks, their inhibitions will soon follow. xoxo

What: BAD! Masquerade Ball
When: Wednesday, Oct. 28 @ 8pm
Where: The Eagle, 1st Floor (554 W 28th Street; between 10th and 11th Aves)
Who: You +1 guest
Dress: Bring a mask of your own or you will be given one at the door!

Out With The Old, And In With The Newbies

There is a debate that rages on every season, and believe this if you can, it isn't for "who is the biggest bottom". With every season comes a smattering of new and often delicious boys and girls, and for some reason you dodgeballers devour them like they are a buffet in the Plano, Texas. So the question is which newbie has captured the hearts and attention of BAD! this season? We think we have finally found our answer.

At the Eastern Bloc karaoke afterparty on Monday we practically fell off of our stool when Michael M from Cubbyhole got up to sing his pretty little heart out. Granted we had always had our eye on him on the court, but he rocked out to Alanis on the mike and somehow managed to get even hotter. So now the debate begins, is there a newbie hotter than Michael or has he signed, sealed, and delivered a love letter to your heart as well. xoxo

Just Around The Bloc

So we asked YOU who was the best team so far this season, and it looks like Eastern Bloc just narrowly beat Splash to win the title in the fierce two way battle. While we are all about flair, we are a little baffled at the red patches on the sleeves. Are we bringing back the 80's or is there something more to it we are missing?


Nonetheless, with the season almost half over and the competition ramping up, will anyone be able to beat the undefeated Eagle Team and dethrone them from the top spot? Or will they fly through to the finals as the team to beat this season? It's anyone's game. xoxo

One BAD! Boy

Popular lady vet Robin made good on her promise, and she had herself a baby. Robin and her partner Melissa welcomed Miles Russell last weekend and the baby is healthy and strong. We assume it's only a matter of time before he starts ruling the courts at Tony Dapolito, although we draw the line at him ruling the flip-cup tables. xoxo
