You know how we like to mix it up here every once in a while when we stop discussing drag queens, porn, and Madonna and turn you onto something, how shall we say, a little deeper?

Well now is one of those times. Our pal Brian sent us a link to the blog Secret Simon the other day. Simon has been blogging for a year now and in doing so has come to terms with his homosexuality. He is married and has a child.

We have not had the time to fully explore his site, but we do love his artwork. And then there is the film he made on his blog’s anniversary. It is sweet, touching, and really special. And this time, we actually are being sincere.

• Continuing the trend of blogger t-shirt lines, Trent over at Pink is the New Blog has unveiled a new shirt, which is available in really gay pink. Don’t worry, Queerty will soon launched a line of cocktail dresses and handbags.

• Gay.com has the rundown on the first episode of Project Runway. We like all the contestants remaining, but we’re still sticking to our initial gut reaction. Our money is on Santino Rice.

• The Plain Dealer, Cleveland's largest newspaper, has repeatedly wanted to include our pal Brian’s faggotyassfaggot.com in their weekly blog write up. But they won’t because of the name, though they “printed the word ‘fag’ or ‘faggot’ in 48 articles over the past ten years.”

• The Queer Eye backlash continues. Even The Gays are over it.

• Cool Hunting has compiled a holiday gift guide and we’d like one of each. Please.
