Meme Alert!

Things are going well with the relocation of Singletails, from the Singletails Building on Park Avenue in the 50s to this historic mill (circa 1740) and barn that I.M. Pei has graciously assisted us in renovating.

The Popular Culture Advisory Department is up and running, and brings news of a newly identified meme from our correspondent, UnFortunate, who was down in New Orleans for that delightful and festive celebration of debauchery known as 'Southern Decadence.'

UnFortunate notice on several occasion that Circuit Boyz seem to have latched on to a new Must Have accoutrement: an Asian boyfriend. At one point, sitting in an airport waiting lounge, UnFortunate had within his field of vision no less than five of those poreless, single-digit-body-fat-percentage, immaculately groomed and perfectly coutured denizens of the Circuit complete with younger Asian proteges.

The Popular Culture Advisory Department could not help but editorialize in their briefing memo on this development, along the lines of "What's up with that?"

And indeed, what is up with that? One can almost here the conversation over cosmopolitan cocktails and appletinis to wash down the Special K now: "Yours is Thai? That's fabulous. Mine is Vietnamese!"

It's been no secret to us here at Singletails, but we hesitate to spring the news on an unsuspecting world: Gay men are weird.
