Summer getaways - Gay edition<br />
like Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and you can<br />
borrow a baby with the right sunglasses.<br />
$5.00 tip.<br />
Hollywood may not be as good as<br />
it once was but its still there and<br />
hints of its seedy past are slowly<br />
emerging from its closed stores<br />
and fading paint. <strong>This</strong> adds just<br />
enough fright to make it exciting.<br />
Experience Tinseltown glamour<br />
at the Chinese Theatre or the<br />
Hollywood Walk of Fame, which<br />
has honored celebrities for over<br />
50 years, old and new starts. You<br />
can still stand in their footprints<br />
or compare hand size with Betty<br />
Davis, Joan Crawford, John<br />
Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, Judy<br />
Garland and Jack Nicholson, to<br />
name a few.<br />
Play like a celebrity.<br />
You can be all the stars that you want to<br />
be on Hollywood blvd. and with all the<br />
closing businesses, the road that glitters<br />
where the hopes and dreams begin. You<br />
can pretend you are a star or you can even<br />
be one. Be it drag or that famous star<br />
everyone says you look like. Dress up and Another fun free day involves memory<br />
wake up from a bachelor party in LA, with lane on the Walk of Fame - (stars inlaid on<br />
no memory of the previous night and the the sidewalk) Step onto the sidewalk<br />
bachelor missing. It works well if you look<br />

PRIDE AND PROTEST IMAGES FROM L.A. PRIDE<br />
2017<br />
1970 was the first Los Angeles Pride Parade.<br />
That parade that year was very anarchist<br />
in theme. At that time police brutality was<br />
rampant against the <strong>LGBT</strong>Q community.<br />
There was even a warning from the L.A.<br />
police that there could be violence against<br />
the participants.<br />
As we move into the Trump era, artists of<br />
all categories will be helping carry on the<br />
battle for equal recognition of diversity for<br />
the <strong>LGBT</strong>Q community as well as other<br />
persecuted groups.<br />
Questions, comments, suggetions, contact<br />
- adamsartexpose@gamail.com<br />
There have been many hard-won positive<br />
gains in recognition for the <strong>LGBT</strong>Q community<br />
over the past decades however with<br />
the election of Donald Trump and his appointment<br />
of homophobic, racist, bigoted<br />
hate mongers to his cabinet it was the decision<br />
of L.A. PRIDE that this year should be<br />
devoted to a RESIST MARCH. Thousands<br />
of people filled the streets of Hollywood<br />
and West Hollywood last Sunday as a reminder<br />
that what has been gained will not<br />
be lost.<br />
Biron the photographic artist who was featured<br />
in this article last year was busy at the<br />
parade capturing images of what PRIDE is<br />
all about.<br />

in need of temporary relief from the<br />
heat.<br />
Hot Weather Tips:<br />
• Drink plenty of water. Avoid alcohol<br />
and caffeine.<br />

is very hot.<br />
• If you do not have an air conditioner,<br />
use a fan, make sure your windows are<br />
open, and visit a cool center.<br />
• Take a cool shower or bath.<br />
Then it is hotter than 90˚ ,visit a friend<br />
that has air conditioning in their home or a<br />
cool place like a mall, a library or a senior<br />
center.<br />
You are also at risk if you have certain<br />
medical conditions, take medication for<br />
high blood pressure, have a mental health<br />
condition, have been using drugs or alcohol,<br />

anywhere on famed Hollywood Boulevard<br />
and you’ll certainly see a number of stars...<br />
Well on the sidewalk, that is, the people on<br />
the side walk are probably not stars.<br />
The Walk of Fame was inaugurated in 1960<br />
when 2,500 blank stars were placed along<br />
the main thoroughfare. <strong>Since</strong> that time,<br />
more than 2,300 have been emblazoned<br />
with the names of famous personalities<br />
who’ve left their mark in the fields of radio,<br />
television, motion pictures, recording, and<br />
live performance. A small symbol on each<br />
star indicates for which field the person is<br />
being honored.<br />
personality test at the Scientology center<br />
and the L. Ron Hubbard Life Exhibition,<br />
even though it was also free.<br />
The <strong>week</strong> we were there, Ice Cube was<br />
given a star. on <strong>June</strong> 12th, 2017 check www.<br />
walkoffame.com for the next Star ceremony.<br />
We did walk by the Museum of Broken<br />
Relationships because the temp was beautiful<br />
and everything was going so well on<br />
its own. And we did not want to push our<br />
luck. It was the same reason we skipped the<br />
We also missed Ripley’s Believe It or Not,<br />
Madame Tussauds Hollywood, Hollywood<br />
Wax Museum, the best vantage for the<br />
Hollywood sign, is at Hollywood and Highland.<br />
Two levels of observation decks near<br />
the back of the courtyard are open the general<br />
public (level numbers 3 and 4). Or the<br />
<strong>California</strong> Pizza Kitchen.<br />
If you go<br />
You can stay on the strip, at the historic<br />
Roosevelt $350.00 Or the chic, modern,<br />
newly built hotel in Hollywood called the<br />
Hollywood VIP $135.00 like we did and it<br />
was clean and fresh and in the middle of<br />
the heart of Hollywood. Expect loads of<br />
fun but you need to participate.<br />

#1 Pokemon Port of Vermilion City<br />
Traditional Ukiyo-e Woodblock<br />
Print<br />
$450.00 Pokemoncenter.com<br />
Developed during the Edo period,<br />
these Japanese woodblock prints have<br />
a long tradition and require a team<br />
of artists to produce. Most feature<br />
famous people, such as samurai or<br />
kabuki actors, or famous landscapes,<br />
like the 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō.<br />
An artist draws the image, a sculptor<br />
painstakingly carves that as a series<br />
of wooden boards (one for each<br />
color of ink used), and a printer uses<br />
those boards to create a layered print<br />
matching the original art. The result<br />
is a remarkable woodblock print in<br />
full color, heaped with the charm and<br />
character of a period piece.<br />

JERSEY’S JOURNAL by jersey Shore<br />
I sit here with my laptop open. I write<br />
about whatever wants to spew from my<br />
crazy mind. Yet, I’m not doing it in fashionable<br />
clothing with a Cosmo in one hand<br />
and a cigarette in the other. I’m naked,<br />
sweating in my bed with a joint in one<br />
hand and my dog licking me on the other.<br />
Which isn’t bad, but it’s not Hollywood.<br />
They want that trend factor.<br />
Is it shameful to be a bottom? Assumedly<br />
this question is for Men? Maybe? Does<br />
being a bottom mean you are the woman?<br />
I’ve always despised the whole “Who is<br />
the Man and who is the woman?” in a Gay<br />
relationship. Well, we are both men, so I<br />
guess there is no woman. And as for “Who<br />
does the fucking?” Do you seriously think<br />
that is a clue into masculinity? Why can’t<br />
you just have a healthy sex life and poke<br />
hole or two? Or don’t poke a hole. Maybe<br />
suck a pole? Have a multiple pole party.<br />
Stop the labels. Except for that famous shoe<br />
label telling people to just do it.<br />
Everybody is so concerned about what<br />
other people think of them. That same old<br />
story, but yes, you can’t proudly announce<br />
you’re a bottom, but in bed it all about the<br />
bass. I’m confused. It’s embarrassing to be<br />
at “that” place, but you are there? It’s the<br />
“H” word I didn’t want to use.<br />
Shitting is embarrassing and you can’t get<br />
caught buying toilet paper in bulk. Really,<br />
did your anus close up? People are way<br />
too consumed of what others think. Stop<br />
thinking about what they think. Think<br />
about what you think. Think for yourself.<br />
You’ll be a much stronger and independent<br />
person. Oh, and while I’m at it. Imitation<br />
may be the highest form of flattery, but if I<br />
see one more drag queen trying to steal my<br />
moves and my way of working the audience,<br />
I’ll just say, it sucks to be you, because<br />
you are not me. I don’t need to copy anyone.<br />
I am an original. That’s why I’m still<br />
relevant. People can see right through you<br />
and it’s sad. Better you than I.<br />
Peace, Love, and Bottoms,<br />

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />
Well the drama continues in DC. The President<br />
AND the Vice President have both hired<br />
private attorneys. Even President Trump’s<br />
attorney has hired an attorney!! The Son-<br />
In-Law Jared Kushner has hired an attorney.<br />
Maybe this is what Trump said about putting<br />
America back to work!?!?!<br />
In addition to being investigated over the<br />
Russia incursion into our election now it has<br />
been confirmed that Trump is being investigated<br />
for obstruction of justice. His financial<br />
records have been subpoenaed. Kushner’s<br />
finances are being investigated.<br />
Not even Nixon had this many issues going<br />
on.<br />
While all this is going on, the Senate leadership<br />
is writing a new healthcare bill totally<br />
in secret. No Democrats on the negotiating<br />
team and even worse, no women! Get ready<br />
to be screwed BIG time and this time without<br />
lube!<br />
The Department of Commerce has removed<br />
<strong>LGBT</strong> protections from their nondiscrimination<br />
statement.<br />
fruition. <strong>This</strong> next <strong>week</strong> there will be special<br />
elections in Georgia and South Carolina for<br />
members of Congress. It will be interesting to<br />
see who wins in these races.<br />
Locally grumbling continues about Cathedral<br />
City declaring itself a Sanctuary City, while<br />
activists are beginning to look towards Coachella<br />
as the second community to self-identify.<br />
Even with being the county’s first Sanctuary<br />
City, crime continues to decline, property<br />
values continue to rise, the nonprofit sector<br />
increases and the city is looking at ways to<br />
help its homeless population and to increase<br />
opportunities for recreation activities for its<br />
youth. In fact, there is a free Friday morning<br />
movie day for children all summer at the<br />
Mary Pickford Theater. Check out www.discoverCathedralCity.gov<br />
if you have a little one<br />
of your own or a nephew or niece you might<br />
want to treat to day out.<br />
Keep your eyes out for information on a local<br />
day of Resistance to be held at the Cathedral<br />
City Civic Center on Labor Day, September 4.<br />
Until then, keep on resisting.<br />
All this and the Administration hasn’t even<br />
reached their first six month anniversary.<br />
Simply amazing.<br />
Greg Pettis is a 22 year city councilman in<br />
