WHO THINKS OF THIS SHIT?

Parents: Your kids might not be smoking, drinking or abusing drugs, but they might be abusing candy. Yes, candy. It’s called “smoking Smarties” – and experts say it’s definitely dangerous. According to the Wall Street Journal, more and more kids are buying tart, chalky candies like Smarties, SweeTarts and Necco wafers – but not to eat. Instead, they’re crushing the candy to powder inside the wrapper, pouring it into their mouths, and blowing out the dust, so it looks like they’re smoking. Some kids have even started snorting the crushed candy, much to the horror of parents, teachers, and candy manufacturers; and for good reason.
Dr. Mark Shikowitz is an ear, nose and throat specialist at Schneider Children's Hospital in New York. He treated a 9-year-old boy who complained that his nose was burning, and found a piece of candy slowly dissolving inside his nostril. The boy recovered, but Dr. Shikowitz points out that frequent candy “smoking” could lead to infections of the nose, sinuses and lungs, as well as disgusting but rare conditions, like maggots feeding on the sugary dust lodged inside the nose.

Experts also say that when kids mimic bad adult habits, they’re more likely to take up the real habits as they get older. This means, kids who snort candy, or pretend to smoke it are more likely to snort cocaine and crushed prescription drugs, and smoke cigarettes, which can lead to numerous health issues and life-shortening addictions.

PENCIL FULL OF LEAD

I saw this guy on The Graham Norton Show last night on BBC America. His name is Paolo Nutini, he's Scottish not Italian, he's 22, good looking with a hairy chest and his latest CD debuted at #1 in the UK. I can't describe his music but this song will put a smile on your face and stick in you head for the rest of day.

FEB-26-2010 MF4U update

Martin Gojda

The set includes 101 images and a video total running time: 18 min 08 secs.

Martin Gojda has a cherubic face and slim body that just screams to be touched. Rolled up jeans leads us down to a brown pair of suede lace ups, kicking them off we are then greeted by a crisp pair of white anklets that mould perfectly to the contours of his shapely feet. Peeling off the rest of his clothes our screens are suddenly filled with creamy skin. From the peak of his crown to the sole of his feet, this is one guy to drool over forever.
 

Michal Pukavec

The set includes 301 images.

The casual everyday man, Michal Pukavec has that unassuming grace that gets us every time. Dressed in a grey t-shirt and a slimming pair of jeans, the eye is drawn down to the dusty pair of old sneakers that mummify his feet. Untying their laces and stepping out of their confines, his feet breathe in the cool daytime air, wriggling under its soft touch. Pink skin stretches around their entire shape, with each little crease and fold being a touch darker. Soft rounded heels match the fleshy balls of the feet that aren’t as angular as our usually fare. Almost bulbous there feet are for you who likes to wrap their hands around something and have a bit of a squeeze.

CYNDI AND TORI

Cyndi Lauper and Tori Amos recently collaborated on a track, "Why Don't You Love Me", for David Byrne's new album Here Lies Love. The album is based on former Phillippines first lady Imelda Marcos' relationship with one of her servants.

5 FOR / 5 AGAINST: SHUTTER ISLAND

All the previews for Shutter Island gave me the impression that I was going to see a movie with supernatural elements, what I saw was a very well crafted movie that kept me guessing even after I thought I had figured it out. Which I did.

From Oscar®-winning director Martin Scorsese, "Shutter Island" is the story of two U.S. marshals, Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), who are summoned, in 1952,  to a remote and barren island off the coast of Massachusetts to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a murderess from the island’s fortress-like hospital for the criminally insane.

5 FOR:

1. The plot is wonderfully detailed and symmetrical. Sometimes movies like this make you feel like if you zone out for a minute you'll miss the whole movie but not here. 
2. The cinematography is breathtaking and inspired, especially the dream/flashbacks. My favorite occurs in dream about his wife. Another great detail here is the contrast of the dreams/flashbacks in the beginning of the film vs. the end of the film. To explain more could be spoilery.
3. There is a scene, small and not important to the plot of the film, that is so creepy that I pulled my feet up onto my seat for several minutes before I put them back down and I noticed that I wasn't the only one. I love when a movie creeps me out.
4. Jacke Earl Haley gives a riveting and pivoting performance. 
5. See this film. It is intelligent, challenging, entertaining and beautifully filmed. You'll be glad you did.

5 AGAINST:

1. I like Leonardo DiCaprio as an actor and think he is more talented than most but it wasn't until about 20 mins into the film that I stopped thinking of Boston Rob from Survivor. If you don't know who Boston Rob is, then this isn't an Against for you.
2. The film gave me the feeling of being just a bit slow. I don't think it was but it just gave me that feeling and it only lasted for the first 30 mins or so.
3. Is it wrong to want to see more crazy and frightening patients? 
4. The biggest problem I had with this film, and it was my problem and not the film's, is that I was expecting 
5. For such a well detailed film, there were three glaring errors that really annoyed me. First was the number of staff on the island. It had to be 200-300 for just 67 patients. Second, after the storm and the over abundant staff is still trying to catch the patients, there are people cleaning up after the storm, swinging axes while super-dangerously-criminally-insane people are running around them. And finally, ***this is spoilery*** the final shot of the orderly caring the shinny and pointy surgical instrument was totally wrong and done just to elicit a response from the audience.      

THIS IS ONE SAD LOOKING MOVIE

I saw Shutter Island yesterday (5 FOR / 5 AGAINST coming soon) and among the numerous trailers was this for the remake of Death At A Funeral. In addition to looking like a movie I really want to miss, Death At A Funeral is either bucking the trend set by A Single Man and Valentine's Day of hiding it's gay subplots or it's going to exploit it -- and not in a good way. Even a naked James Marsden couldn't get me to see this movie. You be the judge, the gay jokes are at the end of this trailer. Prospero, I think you nailed this one.

GO CYNDI!

"Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth living on the streets and in foster care need our support more than ever. In New York City, the True Colors Residence is going to play a big role in providing these young people with the leg up and encouragement they need. I am thrilled that construction has already begun and I am honored to be a part of this important project." - Cyndi Lauper, commenting on the groundbreaking for the True Colors Residence for homeless LGBT youth in Harlem.

True Colors Residence will be New York City's first permanent housing facility with support services for 18-24 year old lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth with a history of homelessness. The undertaking was conceived by West End Executive Director Colleen Jackson, and by musical artist Cyndi Lauper and Ms. Lauper's manager Lisa Barbaris. The project entails the construction of a new, energy-efficient multifamily building containing 30 studio apartments, indoor and outdoor community space for residents, and a computer room and resource library. The building is named in honor of Cyndi's Lauper's support for the project and for West End, and references Ms. Lauper's hit song, "True Colors."

Funding for this large project comes from a complex group of borough, city, state, federal and private sources. True Colors Residence is scheduled to open in winter 2011.

WHAT AMERICAN ACCENT DO YOU HAVE?

This test pretty much nailed me. I spent the first 25 years of my life on Long Island and never had a strong accent but when I entered my twenties, I started working on minimizing it. Then I went to grad school in MA and worked even harder at minimizing my accent. After grad school, I moved to DC and most people there were surprised to learn I was a New Yorker. Most could place me in the northeast but had to guess from which part.

After spending more than 15 years in DC I still have a northeast accent, and still find that certain words will tongue-tie me. I can't tell you which ones, but it's funny when it happens.

What American accent do you really have? Your Result: Northern   Your accent is Northern, which used to be the media standard in the '50s and '60s.  Your accent could either be Inland Northern (Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo) or the more broadcasting-friendly Upstate NY/Western New England accent.  If you have the Inland North accent, outsiders probably ask you a lot if you're from Chicago or Wisconsin.

TMI TUESDAY - TOILET PAPER

1. Toilet Paper: Over or Under. Over, and if I'm visiting someone who has it under, I switch it to over and leave it that way.

2. Who replaces the empty roll in your house? I always make sure there is paper before and after I finish regardless of where I am.

3. What do you use if you run out of toilet paper at home? I'm really good at not letting this happen but when it does, there's always facial tissue and even paper towels. In an extreme case, there's always the shower. 

 4. Seat up or down? LID DOWN! I hate when anyone leaves the seat or lip up. They make lids for a reason and I've had too many things fall into the toilet when the lid was left up.

5. Do you leave the door open? I usually close it even when I live alone, it keeps the doggies out.

6. Does your love leave it open? All my past lovers where kinda bathroom shy and tended to keep the door shut. Peeing in front of each other was okay but pooping was strictly a behind closed doors activity...except for that one guy who liked it in his mouth.

7. Do you always check for toilet paper first in a public stall? When I'm in there to poop I do because I need it to cover the seat. If I'm there for a little foot tapping action, I want to make contact with that fluid. 

8. What do you use if you run out of toilet paper in a public restroom? I make sure this never happens. I've learned my lesson and will grab some napkins to bring in with me. Having the napkins also helps keep my hands free from al the nasty germs in public bathrooms and have been using them for like 20 years to grab handles and things.

9. Do you wait until you are alone in a public restroom? When I use the urinal, I'll take the one farthest from any possible neighbor. If I'm in there to poop, I also like to be far from others incase I have to make noises or if it turns out smelly.

FEB-23-2010 MF4U update

Libor Germa

The set includes 121 images and a video total running time: 15 min 06 secs.

Our star today is Libor Germa, a relative newcomer to Male Feet 4 U, he certainly knows what we like as he puts on a show that has been in my mind for days. Starting shirtless, clad in only a pair of jeans and some grubby white socks, he quickly pulls these back and reveals the pure white skin below. Getting naked the camera pans his entire body, pausing over his pert soft butt cheeks and of course his exquisite little feet. In a set that you will want to keep in your favorites, Libor proves that a little can go a long, long way.

Jarda Stentek

The set includes 380 images.

Jarda Stentek is something of a favorite of ours. Blessed with a gorgeous face, full kissable lips and a body to die for we were very excited when he agreed to do a foot set. And boy does he shine. Dressed in black chunky lace up skate shoes and a pair of dark, tight business socks, he peels off one at a time, letting the fabric rub firmly against the clean skin. Flexing his tiny muscles, they arch and stretch and his toes wriggle like little grubs. Scrubbed clean these feet shine bright and in true form left us breathless.

Tibor Tamavy

The set includes 76 images and a video total running time: 20 min 23 secs.

Our star this week is Tibor Tamavy, a dangerously handsome man who knows how to please. Wearing only a pair of bright red boxer shorts that are whipped off before you can even blink, he is suddenly completely naked in front of our eyes. His skin tingles with desire as he rubs his hands down the length of his slender body. Pausing at the feet, he squeezes them tightly in his thin fingers, stroking the soft hair sprouting from their tops and following their soft contours all around.

Pavel Matous

The set includes 395 images.

The clean cut, fresh styling of Pavel Matous is just what the doctor ordered for this end of week update. Dressed in baggy jeans that don’t offer much in the way of style and a pair of shiny new lace up skate shoes he is the classic go everywhere kind of guy. Rolling up the blue cuffs and exposing the tips of his white anklet socks, he slowly removes his shoes, producing two shapely rounded feet. Parading them in front of the camera they wriggle in appreciation of all the attention they are getting. Sliding the soft peachy skin across itself, it wrinkles ever so slightly at the small amount of pressure.
