Buck Angel - It Gets Better

HomoQuotable - Buck Angel

"I would never fail to tell anyone before we got home that I am a man with a pussy. That is not cool at all." - Buck Angel, in an interview with Outrate (NSFW). Having seen Buck in action several times now, he certainly doesn't lack for amorous attention from gay men, but the disclosure issue is certainly Topic #1 for our burgeoning FTM population. On the flipside, I have heard of many instances of transitioning MTFs waiting too long to make their own "big reveal", with often unfortunate results. Maybe there are similar stories on the FTM side, but the relative novelty of the movement just hasn't gotten the stories out there yet.

Buck In The Box

Last night the lovely Manhattan Offender and I went down the The Box, a beautiful new/vintage theatre/nightclub in the Bowery, for a screening of Schwarztwald: Rites XXVII, filmmaker Richard Kimmel's fascinating part-fantasy, part-documentary about NYC's immortal Black Party. All the leatheratti were in the house, including Testosterone photographer Joe Oppedisano, New York Boys Of Leather members Christian and Blaze, and NoiZe Magazine's Michael Taylor.

MO and I had a chat with the movie's star and the evening's host, transsexual porn star Buck Angel (NSFW!!!) who was charming and funny. Trivia: The Box was built by Simon Hammerstein, great-great grandson of the namesake of Saint-At-Large New Year's venue Hammerstein Ballroom. And his grandfather was the second half of Rodgers & Hammerstein. BELOW: Filmmaker Richard Kimmel and Buck Angel toast the film's conclusion. More pics at Manhattan Offender.

Black Party 2007 Trailer

The Saint At Large has YouTube'd a bit of the movie starring transexual porn star Buck Angel (NSFW), filmed for last year's Schwartzwald-themed Black Party, which I fake live-blogged afterwards. The music is Brainbug's ominous trance classic, Nightmare. This year's Black Party is March 24th. Tickets go on sale February 16th.
