This Filmmaker Will Send You A Nude Selfie If You Donate To His Kickstarter Campaign
This Filmmaker Will Send You A Nude Selfie If You Donate To His Kickstarter Campaign
Lithuanian filmmaker Romas Zabarauskas certainly knows the way to a gay man’s heart: he’s offering naked photos to anyone who donates to his Kickstarter. Well, okay, if you insist!
He apparently also knows that gay men are cheapskates when it comes to porn, because for only $1 you can get his “racy photo shoot.”
The project is called You Can’t Escape Lithuania, and it appears to be a semi-autobiographical mostly-fictional artsy-craftsy hipster story about two young people on a dangerous road trip. Lithuania isn’t exactly a safe place for queers: like Russia, lawmakers have been instituting increasingly homophobic laws to punish and imprison gays. It’s not a fun place.
Those elements will probably pop up in Romas’ new film.
His previous works, Porno Melodrama and We Will Riot, combined sex and politics too, and played at various international film festivals. He used Kickstarter for his earlier work as well, but this might be the raciest of his projects. “The more money you will send me, the more of my body you will see,” he says in his pitch video. Donors over $50 will get a signed naked photo if they hit their $20,000 target.
Other rewards: temporary tattoos, digital downloads, a t-shirt — you know, the usual Kickstarter stuff. That’s all well and good, but we came for flesh.

Why Every Man Should Dress in Drag at Least Once
Why Every Man Should Dress in Drag at Least Once
I never really had the desire to dress up as a woman. For years I had a hard time understanding why some gay men were so obsessed with drag.

This Halloween I was in drag for the second year in a row. A friend initially prompted me to do it, and I loved it so much the first time that I decided to do it again.
Something happens when you put on a dress, a wig, and some makeup. Your personality transforms. You just can’t help it.
It was a hoot, but it also served as a teaching moment. I think every man — gay, straight, or in between — could benefit from a day in drag. And here’s why:
More Empathy Toward Women
Growing up in a house with a mother and two sisters, I watched as they applied makeup every day, not thinking much of it. I didn’t realize what was really happening. They were painting on a face every single day. On Halloween I found out just how long a process this is. And don’t get me started on the heels. After just a few hours in low heels, my dogs were barking. I can’t imagine spending an entire day in stilettos. It’s torturous!
Feeling Pretty Feels Good
Some men are used to hearing terms like “handsome,” but being told you are pretty is pretty awesome. I received a lot of compliments among the West Hollywood crowd, but I was touched when half a dozen women throughout the night looked me in the eye and told me I was truly beautiful. How’s that for a self-esteem booster?
Feeling Like a Star
Dozens of people from all walks of life wanted to pose with me for a picture. There were so many flashbulbs it felt like the paparazzi were there. It was as though I were on a red carpet. This was great for the ego and gave me a tiny taste of celebrity.

Feeling Free
Dressing up in character allows us to switch identities and loosens up the inhibitions. It allows us to say things we might not otherwise utter in our more reserved lives. It allows us to be bold and approach people we might otherwise find intimidating. Though we’re in character, dormant parts of our personalities start to emerge, and I believe that’s a good thing.
Flaws Are Forgiven
When you dress in drag, people like the campiness of it. They admire the boldness it takes to get into character, and I find they forgive your flaws. If you have a little extra fat around the waistline, it doesn’t matter. If your arms are hairy, they expect it. If your makeup isn’t perfect, they embrace the effort it took to slap it on. In a world where we are so critical of others, it’s nice to get a pass. And when men put on dresses for Halloween, they’re given that pass.
I won’t be competing in RuPaul’s Drag Race anytime soon, but I am looking forward to picking out a dress for next year. I’ll be smarter too and wear flats!

Taylor Swift Gets Schooled On The Real New York By This Gorgeous Drag Queen
Taylor Swift Gets Schooled On The Real New York By This Gorgeous Drag Queen
Taylor Swift’s album 1989 may own the sales charts, but the serial dater’s latest single, “Welcome to New York,” has earned the ire of many. Swift’s look at Manhattan through rose-colored glasses as been described as “bullshit” by the Village Voice and called “the worst ode to NYC ever” by Salon. The pop starlet has tried to make amends for the shallow lyrics by donating all proceeds from the sale of the single to New York City’s public schools. Nice gesture. Still, there’s one lady is not having it. Miss Levonia Jenkins does not suffer fools.
Watch Jenkins force Swift to take a walk on the mean streets below.
