Party People: Hot Mix 5 Reunion @ House of Blues in Chicago
On Saturday, August 30, I had the privilege of attending the reunion of the legendary house music djs, the Hot Mix 5, at the House of Blues in Chicago. Here are some b&w pictures that I took of Farley "Jackmaster" Funk, house diva Ce Ce Peniston and some of the party people.









Sweet Love
Rarely does a fashion editorial make me tear up. But there is something so sweet, melancholy and moving about these Emma Summerton pictures of Jourdan Dunn and Josh Beech in the new Vogue Italia that I literally felt my eyes water while flipping through the magazine at Borders.



(I got the images from Funketiquette.)
I also think it's cool how the pictures are so different from the ones Summerton took of the models in the new i-d.

ALL I COULD BARE in DC #2
Here's a video that revolves around my book signing at Lambda Rising, DC's gay bookstore, on August 24, 2008. I had a lot of fun promoting the signing with a couple of hot, half-naked guys. Watch and enjoy.

Flashback Joint: Monica
Monica's new single, "Still Standing," got me in the mood to seek out some of her older performances on YouTube. This is one of my favorites. It's from the legendary Urban Aids concert, where some of the top hip-hop and R&B acts performed to support people with AIDS. I've also posted Mary J. Blige's killer performances of "I Love You" and "Everyday It Rains" from the same concert.

ACID BETTY
In honor of Acid Betty doing so well on Project Runway last night, I wanted to post these pics that I took of her last year in a bathroom at Avalon (the old Limelight).

Craig's Obessions: Dumpsters
Don't know why, but I'm completely obsessed with taking pictures of trash cans. They have such interesting shapes and colors...

Happy Birthday, Madonna
In honor of Madge's 50th, I thought I'd post Peter Rauhofer's Classic Mix of "Nothing Fails." It's one of my favorite of her recent mixes. Such a beautiful love song, and Peter kills the track:

Market Days 2008
I think it's funny that my arrival in Chicago coincided with the biggest gay street festival in the Midwest.
