MTV's "True Life" series recently followed around several young people who have just moved to New York. (By the way, The Malcontent is now officially the only person in Manhattan without a reality TV show of his own.)
Of course, we're going to focus on "the gays."
As MTV's website describes them:
"Frankie and Dana are two gay friends from Struthers, Ohio. They want to head to New York, but struggle to raise money to get there. When they arrive in Brooklyn, they find a modest apartment that they can barely afford. Because they have to work so hard to pay the rent, Frankie and Dana rarely find time to enjoy New York. Still, they continue saving their money and appreciating New York's accepting environment."
What kind of "gay in New York" TV show is this, with no Fifth Avenue shopping sprees, no spa treatments, no meth binges? Oh, that's right. They're broke.
My favorite moment? When the guy at Duvet asked Dana if she was a trannie.

Fuck Frankie and Dana.
Part of the fun of living here is learning to make it. "If I can make it ...blahblah"

Ye gods, MO.....suddenly I have this mental image of Mal and his hubby (who I've never seen, but who I assume has a body like Reichen and a face like Ian Somerhalder), dancing in the middle of a Manhattan strength singing, "Doing it our way.........We're gonna make it after all!!!!!!!"

Would you believe "hopping the subway to SoHo on a Tuesday afternoon to buy a medicine cabinet and flatware"?

I'll believe anything if the person telling it to me is cute enough. =)
This is why I can never believe a word Ted Kennedy says, but if Mark Valley ("Keen Eddie", "Boston Legal") were to walk up to me...well.....I was just following orders, officer!

Tch, they have lips, don't they? In New York, that's all you need.

All I can say is that Malcontent's post are 100 times better than Robbie's.

Does anyone know the broker they used?
