Hey y’all! Hot Or Not is dead. It died. But in its place will be a new special video every week, starting with this little ditty about straight men and all the things they do that confuse me. Special thanks to my balsamic reduction sauce, Gaby Dunn, for editing it and to my wIld GuRlz, The Shining Twins, for the music. TC mark

    Talking about clothes is just … tough. And draining. And uncomfortable. I don’t know how to describe it. I’m sorry. :/

    “..clothes just appear on my body.” <- LOL!

    So what’s it going to take to dissuade you from the 80′s grandpa glasses? I know they look quirky and retro and fit your taste or what ever, but they are totally covering up your hotness.

    This is so funny! You’re awesome on camera. You make want to be your friend very very badly.

    I laughed a little too hard when, as soon as you started talking about gay porn at 1:02, the guy in the background chose THAT EXACT MOMENT to walk by. Priceless.

    Oh, and I guess the rest of the video was pretty funny, too!

    A Narcissist’s Love Letter

    When I say I’m in love with you, I mean I love the story I can tell to my next lover, about my ex-lover, about how beautiful things were, how intense, how storybook, what a couple we were, and how you gradually, inexplicably, painfully, bit by bit, disappeared.
