The Paramount remake of the 90’s TV show is due for release in May next year! Enjoy!
Understandably sport underwear comes in many different shapes and styles, so unless you know exactly what he’s after I’d play it fairly safe with this one. Going for something along the lines of the Nike Pro Hypercool 6” Shorts is a sure fire way to please any guy who’s more likely to be found enjoying himself on a field rather than in front of the TV this Christmas. Created from Dri-Fit Max fabric and with a compression fit for a “locked in feel” it’s going to be difficult getting it wrong with these babies. Your main struggle might just be picking the colour.
There’s no shortage of Gays with phenomenal thighs out there – you know the kind I’m talking about, the ones that look like the Jaws of Life that could end you, or save you, in a second. The issue with thighs of thunder is that quite often a little irritable chafing can be the price that one pays for having them. So, if your guy has the thighs of a Welsh rugby player opt for the likes of Under Armour’s Men’s UA Original Series 23cm Boxerjock. Not only will they make his thighs look like there coated in molten chrome, the added length will also help to combat any risk of chaffing.
Some guys just like to take what they’ve got and give it a little boost in the bedroom. For this kind of show off go for AussieBum’s EnlargeIT Sport trunks. With their own EnlargeIT Tech built in this is sure to help any show off really catch the attention of anyone else in the room – be it the bedroom, or the locker-room.
Despite what the media might inform us, not every Gay has rippling abs and 4% body fat. If your guy has a little extra cuddle to him go for a more classic style of underwear, helping to limit discomfort and eradicate the muffin-top. Calvin Klein’s CK One Boxers do the job perfectly without returning to the style of your Dad’s underwear entirely.
For The Commando Guy
If your man happens to prefer the feeling of less rather than more, then Andrew Christian’s Almost Naked Tagless Cotton Boxer might be the only way to go. With a pouch that “virtually eliminates sticking, squashing, re-adjusting, sweating and chafing” he might even come to prefer wearing these to wearing nothing at all. Or, you know, you could always just keep it bare and not buy him anything at all – just mull it over.
Get Them Here.
If you’re looking for a slightly more suggestive design for a guy who doesn’t mind putting on a bit of a show, go for a classic PUMP! Jock. It’s all business in the front, with a little party in the back, just as you’d expect from any jockstrap and is definitely a little more sexy than a pair of Christmas socks.
In 1992, Baz Luhrmann opened his Red Curtain Trilogy of films with this offbeat satire on the world of ballroom dancing and the film quickly garnered critical praise and cult status. The show has come full circle, moving from stage to screen and back to stage in a production which is wildly vivacious, colourful and as camp as they come. Featuring songs from the film along with a number of new musical numbers, the camp factor is ramped up to the max, with the whole thing swishing around in a swirl of sequins, feathers, 80’s pastel shades and deliberately dodgy wigs.
Broadway veteran Sam Lips makes his UK theatre debut in the role of Scott, with his strengths primarily in his voice and his dancing; whilst Gemma Sutton relishes in a believable transformation from shy wall flower to leading lady, as Fran. Richard Grieve steals every scene he is in with his portrayal of the flamboyant Les Kendall and there are brilliantly understated performances from Tasmin Carroll and Stephen Matthews as Scott’s parents. Flesh out the cast with an ensemble of excellent dancers, including a plethora of perfect pecs and bulging biceps and you have a top notch cast who are clearly enjoying themselves as much as the audience.
The ingenious set design by Soutra Gilmour opened out into the key locations with remarkable versatility and comfortably accommodates Drew McOnie’s steady direction and thoroughly enjoyable choreography. The first act focuses primarily on the narrative, which never strays too far from the familiar film, whilst the second act opens up into a barrage of musical numbers which are unyielding from the opening number right up until the curtain falls, bringing the crown to their feet in thunderous approval.
With Strictly Come Dancing riding high in the public consciousness, the UK premiere of Strictly Ballroom is well timed, and proves just as undemanding but far more enjoyable than its nearest television counterpart. Whilst underneath the glitz, glam and gayness of it all, there is a rather corny Pygmalion-eque love story, this is one evening at the theatre that is more about the joy of the journey rather than the destination. Cheesy, tongue in cheek and with a distinct flavour of both irony and homage to the art form, it’s a smile inducing spectacle, and one can only hope that a national tour will follow.
Musicals really don’t come any gayer than this, and the show is a piece of unadulterated, joyous, feel-good theatre.
Strictly Ballroom is currently playing at West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds until 21st January 2017. For tickets, further information and details of their new season, visit their website at www.wyp.org.uk or call the box office on 0113 213 7700

Well take a moment, breath and relax. Here we have ten top tips to keep you looking tip-top this party season.
It might not be the most obvious thing in the world, but a pocket square in the breast pocket of your blazer signifies a confident, sartorially inclined man. If you thought a pocket square was just a white hanky in your pocket think again. Luxury men’s outfitters Rampley & Co have pocket squares to suit the simplest to the most extravagant of tastes.
The Christmas party can come in a number of guises, so work out what kind of outfit you’ll need to plan for. Is it black tie? Suit? Or is it smart casual? For most Christmas parties or social gatherings this winter a smart casual look will fit in perfectly. You can keep your jeans casual as long as you team them with a great tan brogue. Build on the look with a fresh, crisp simply patterned shirt, and finish off with a blazer with the aforementioned pocket square and you’ll be the talk of the party. For those colder nights, you could slip on a block-colour cashmere v neck jumper under the blazer. Don’t be afraid to try bold colours.
Sorry hipsters, that beard has got to go. There’s only one man allowed to have a bushy face on the 25th and he arrives with reindeers. Go fresh-faced and watch the admiring glances from across the room.
Feel and look your best by investing in a good exfoliant. You can refresh tired looking skin and reveal a youthful glow under all the dead skin cells that collect on the surface of your face. Don’t let winter take its toll on your visage! Take a look at our top exfoliating product list.
A visit to a barber is a definite must to complete the man about Christmas town. Investing in a good haircut is key to feeling great about how good and how polished you look. A good barber will offer a variety of different services from hot towels to manicures. Why not treat yourself to 211 years of grooming experience at Truefitt & Hill, London’s oldest barber shop and the world leader in men’s grooming
Well, one does want a hint of colour. Even if your party requires an uber smart Black Tie look you can be totally subverting with your choice of sock. Check out these shocking pink Langham dress socks (£12.00) by Rampley & Co. No one will know unless you give them a peak of your ankle… Victorian is the new Millennium.
Aftershave is utterly important for a Winterfest party. Have you ever had a man tell you how amazing you smell? It’s wonderful. The gay community has in the past favoured a few fragrances like Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male and Davidoff’s Cool Water, but Rihanna’s Rogue (from £26.82) is surprisingly seductive and Hugo Boss Unlimited (from £46.90) is sniffing up a storm here at TGUK HQ.
Don’t clutter up the lines of your outfit with your phone, wallet or keys. Keep them all in a bag. In that bag, you should also pack, lip balm to protect your lips in the cold, icy winds, your aftershave, and a comb or hairbrush. The winter weather can play havoc with your skin so make sure you pack a good moisturiser with SDF, to make sure you’re protected from those winter sun rays.
Pearly whites never go out of fashion. Check out our review of teeth whitening and dazzle your prince charming with the perfect smile.
Don’t be a wallflower. Work out a story, a joke or subject that you feel confident talking about. Read up on the news and get a sense of what’s going on in the world. That way you can talk with authority about something and be a conversation leader rather than a follower. However, best to stay clear of divisive topics such as religious, politics or M&Ms Vs Skittles.
It’s been over a decade since a Beckham charted in the UK singles charts (Victoria’s last hit was “This Groove” / “Let Your Head Go” in 2003) but now it seems her son, Cruz is eyeing a Christmas number one and is vying for the top spot in the race for this Christmas number 1 and he’s doing it for charity… ahhh!
The bookies are suggesting that David and Victoria’s third son, 11-year-old Cruz, could be in line for a Christmas hit after bookies slashed the odds of Cruz beating the X Factor winner’s single.
William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly said,
“We thought when we put Cruz in our Christmas betting at 25/1 that he would be a popular selection and so it has proved and we have had to slash his odds of bagging the Christmas number one after just a couple of hours”.
Favourite to win this year tho is the Parliamentary Choir / Friends of Jo Cox who are releasing a single in memory of the slain MP. The X Factor winner, whoever that ends up being is third down the list.
UK Christmas number one single: 1/1 Parliamentary choir; 3/1 UK X Factor winner; 4/1 London Hospices choir; 10/1 Clean Bandit; 10/1 Cruz Beckham; 12/1 Inspiral Carpets; 14/1 BAR

Like ever. Especially if you don’t want to get ill.
Want to turn off that welcome screen with that “relaxation” musak when you enter your room for the first time? You might want to get an anti-bac hand wipe before you touch that remote. Think about it. Hundreds of people have probably touched that remote – after they’ve been to the toilet, post sex – eek. Just disgusting. Given the fact that most housekeepers are given a ridiculously small amount of time per room to clean, the remote is often over-looked. Time and time again bacterial tests on hotel TV remotes have shown that there are often faecal residues left over. Yuck.
What’s better than a post-bonk midnight feast – apart from falling asleep. Chances are if you’re feeling peckish after a midnight booty call – yes, you’ve guessed it, people call Room Service, using that bedside phone. And they’re using fingers that have just been inserted somewhere very clammy and damp. Phones are teeming with bacteria, often blasting the acceptable limits of bacteria.
Just imagine the number of people who have sat naked, had sex on it or put their luggage on that decorative blanket at the end of the bed. Apparently, it’s one of the least washed items in your room. So don’t touch. Just don’t. A report from CNN suggested that bedspreads don’t get ‘thrown in with the sheets for a daily wash.”
Feeling hot? That thermostat on the wall is most probably overlooked during the daily clean of a hotel room. Big-name hotel chains usually give their rooms a deep clean every quarter. So in between those deep cleans think about the number of fingers that have touched that dial. There are up to 66 days in a quarter. If the hotel is operating at near full occupancy and there are two people staying in a room there could be well over 100 people touching that dial.
If you’ve sat on the sofa naked or even had sex on it then you can bet your life that scores of other people have to – and a sofa just isn’t that easy to clean, regularly anyway. Tests have shown that stains that aren’t visible to the naked eye are all over those hotel sofas and chairs. Those stains include: blood, semen and even faeces. Just. Why. Would. You.
Apparently, Adam Lambert could be joining Saara Aalto on stage this coming weekend for the now famous “duets” part of the final. Adam is just returning from a very successful stint as a judge on the Austrailian version of X Factor. However, producers for the UK version of the show are remaining tight-lipped about the rumours.
Saara Aalto has become firm favourite to win the competition despite an incredibly rocky start to the competition. She was a wildcard entry for her mentor, Sharon Osborne, and for the first few weeks was forced to sing for her position in the competition after failing to get the voting public behind her. However, it’s all change as she’s become one of the most talked about singers this season – especially with the news that she’s now engaged to be married to her girlfriend, Meri.
If Adam Lambert joins the finalists this Saturday he would join a handful of stars who have graced the X Factor stage for the usually very successful duets part of the final. Past megastars who have joined contestants include Rihanna who sang with Matt Cardle and Beyoncé who sang with Alexandra Burke, both finalists became the winners of the competition.
Adam Lambert rose to fame during the 2009 series of American Idol, where he placed runner-up. He’s gone on to release three albums and sold millions of records around the globe. Earlier this year he celebrated his success on Spotify after clocking up over 100,000,000 streams of his music.
The problem is that in all of these nations being gay is illegal and in fact, in no less than two of those nations, the death penalty could be handed down to those convicted of conducting homosexual relationships. Many of the nations also have incredibly poor woman’s rights records as well as severely curtailed freedoms of speech for its citizens.
The Prime Minister is there to attend a dinner before she meets with the Gulf Cooperation Council. She is due to announce a new working group to combat the financing of terrorists. Britain is also unveiling a permanent British defence staff in Dubai and will also provide three specialist cyber experts whose goals will be to detect and deal with extremism, according to the Independent.

This is a skill that we need to learn. Clearly.
This happy chappie manages to take off all his clothes in a record-breaking 3.52 seconds. Yes under 4 seconds. We’ve been trying it in the office and well, now we’re a messy tangle of shoe laces and bobble hats (management have refused to turn on the heating – it’s like a bleeding scene from Muppet’s Christmas Carol here).
Look at him go.
Despite Queer As Folk being broadcast nearly two decades ago, (16 years to be precise) the actor who played the sexy Stuart Alan Jones (centre) looks stunning at the age of 48.
The actor, who is actually heterosexual, hasn’t been absent from our TV screens since his rise to fame on QAF! He’s appeared in at least 31 films since the year the show’s first broadcast and he’s starred in loads and loads of TV shows. He’s been starring in the hit Game of Thrones since 2011 as Petry Baelish.
