COLBY IN THE CUPBOARD

2012-01-31T08:08:00.001-05:00

A lesser known perk of porn proffers a particularly profuse pay-out if you live clear across the country: frequent flyer miles.

Unfortunately, I rarely get booked on the same airline twice.

On my last trip to LA, I cashed in the entirety of my meager American Airlines account to book myself an extra day at a cheap motel in one of LA's sketchier parts of town. What can I say? It reminded me of home.

Horny porn star, a sun-drenched California January and a king-size bed. . . Let me stop your imagination from taking you too far. A balls-to-the-wall motel fuck-fest was not in the cards. Nary a soul in SOCAL managed to satisfy lil' Colby's thirst for adventure. "The art of cruising", online and otherwise, has never been my forté-- particularly in the city of angels. I only get laid on camera these days. Thank god there was a handy black box to shut myself in and cry the pain away. . .

Jumping on the bed also seemed to do the trick.

Who knew you could have so much fun in a pillow fight for one.

LENIN: LA LOVE STORY

2012-01-30T10:06:00.000-05:00

There may be no unlikelier lover in all of Los Angeles than Vladamir Ilyich Lenin, yet I managed to find him (and a diminutive transsexual Chairman Mao) at the corner of La Brea and 4th Street. The sculpture is part of an installation celebrating Peter Noever's 25 years in the curation biz. Noted hugging enthusiasts "The Gao Brothers" title the piece "Miss Mao Trying to Poise Herself on the Top of Lenin's Head".

BOYS WITH BEARDS: GREG EVIGAN (SOME 80S HIGH FIVIN')

2012-01-29T11:25:00.000-05:00

Mmmm....everyone remember Greg Evigan from My Two Dads??? This bearded hottie was the quintessential close clopped 80s beard guy. And so handsome. You can just see the beginnings of beards in Hollywood and the early stirrings of Jason Priestly's 90210.

And did you know he was almost Riker from Star Trek Next Generation? Had that happened, I would be an even bigger geek than I am today. Oh and he was really young once too...

My Two Dads...the gayest sitcom of the 80s...

BIG HEEL VANNA TELLS ALL TO BSD'S KARL MARXXX

2012-01-27T23:57:00.004-05:00

Vanna White, recently exposed by co-worker Pat Sajack for getting boozey at work all those years on Wheel.... Of...... Fortune...... sat down with Karl Marxxx of Big Shoe Diaries to talk all things love, game show, and Pat Sajack. Here's what she had to say....oh...and we think it was Vanna...we were all a little tipsy.

BSD: Vanna what is your favorite letter to turn?

Definitely R. When there are lots of r s in one turn, I just go rrrrrrrrr and roll my tongue secretly behind my pearly whites while I clap and turn the letters

BSD: And what about your least favorite letter?

U is my least favorite. For one it s a vowel...ugh so low rent. It's also used to spell two of my least favorite words:ugly and unless.

BSD: Do you prefer turning consonants or vowels?

Buying vowels is so weak. For one, you barely leave any chance to the board to hit the bankrupt turn(which is my favorite moment in any game) and it just feels so desperate and cheap. Consonants are champion turns.

BSD: What about your job is hard that might look easy to he untrained eye?

The banter between me and Sajack. It may look canned but it's pretty intense improvisation up there.

BSD: What do you admire about Pat Sajack?

He has a great laugh and I love when he does the opening spin...sooooo masculine.

BSD: Have you ever wanted to switch roles with him?

Oh no, I have always been quite happy to turn letters. Plus could you imagine what the camera might see if I leaned over the wheel to crank it real hard?

BSD: In the mad for tv movie about your life....

Hands down Rachel McAdams

BSD: Can you give me a detailed account of what you eat every day?

Well there are days I don't eat anything so well just leave it at that.

BSD: Do you feel obligated to hang out with Pat Sajak and his sure to be boring wife?

She's not so bad, but she does embarrassingly order Merlot every where we go. Goodness.

BSD: Do you believe in love and do you have any dating secrets?

I don't think love requires faith or mystery. I think love is about being there, no matter what, like the letter s. Dating secret....watch a game show with whoever you re sweet on...if you enjoy that together now, you ll make it through the long haul.

BSD: Do you believe in having sex with someone up front or do you believe in holding off for a while?

It depends on how old you are. If you re young and innocent, you should dive in, if you re older and more experienced you should curate your experiences a tad more.

BSD: Any funny stories to share from the show?

There was the time the letters were locked and wouldnt turn....
