BRANDON: The year in review? Oh my goodness, I have issues thinking about what I did last week. 365 days to review and reflect on… ANGEL: Well you have impressed me already. I had no idea you could count that high. BRANDON: *sticks out tongue* Okay, do you know how many parties and porn events that is? White Party, award shows, expos, the list goes on and on. …and that's not even the weekly things we do, that's just the annual events. In all that time I really do feel closer to you. Who would have thought? ANGEL: Oh my! Did you just get real with your feelings? Holy cow, let's write this day down! In all seriousness though, I am just as grateful to have you in my life. Who would have thought that when I approached you at the Palm Springs White Party two years ago that we would be this close today. ANGEL: OK well, I will tell you who had an AMAZING year this year: ZAC EFRON!! What a fucking HOTTIE! BRANDON: Why did you have to bring him into this? What's he got to do with anything. "Nip/Tuck" is all my rage. It's such a scandalous show about being superficial that has deep meaning. (What a dichotomy huh?) ANGEL: Yeah, this year your favorite show changed locations to Los Angeles. Like Madonna says, "Everybody comes to Hollywood…" but I still think Zac is a hottie….bitch. BRANDON: We have to focus here, Angel, and if we are talking about what a year can do for someone, how about we pay attention to the pounds I have gained along with the experience working with the biggest and best porn star personalities? You don't detect any sarcasm when I say, "Bigger is not always better." *wink* ANGEL: Tell that to Ben Andrews. BRANDON: I like pie. ANGEL: No kidding. I think we found out why you picked up those extra pounds. ANGEL: You know what else rocked my world? Rihanna's song "Umbrella." Every single radio station played the hell out of that song, and you know what? I never got sick of it. To this day. It's hot. BRANDON: Me too, that's one of the songs that makes my Italian boyfriend and I think of each other…that and Offer Nissim's "Be My Boyfriend" spells trouble. ANGEL: Oh shit, you're on a roll talking about your feelings here. Careful… people will think you are me! BRANDON: I liked being in New Orleans for Mardi Gras this year. Drinking all the time is fun and legal there. Mardi Gras is like ADD on parade. Literally. Where else do you beg to be pelted with plastic beads thrown from moving vehicles in the road? *hits forehead* ANGEL: Sweetheart, haven't you realized that it's Mardi Gras in your brain ALL THE TIME?? You don't need a date on the calendar, or to be in New Orleans to be in a Mardi Gras state of mind. Brandon Baker IS a Mardi Gras state of mind. ANGEL: This was also the year that I launched my own airline. BRANDON: Oh yea, well my head is always in the clouds and I couldn't enjoy that air time any more. *wink* We did fly on that new Virgin America airline this year huh? I think for being "Virgin" it's a sexy airline with all the hot new colors, hip marketing and prices that we can actually handle. ANGEL: Yes that is the airline I was talking about. I love it. The interior is designed to look like a gay bar. Kinda like the lobby of your apartment building. The only thing missing at both places is music that is 135 beats per minute….and gogo boys. Lots of gogo boys with hot pecs and tight asses…I'm sorry what were we talking about? Is it hot in here? BRANDON: I know, since the new renovation on my building in Hollywood, it's hard for me to keep it straight which one is where I find hot, new rentboys and order a Red Bull or if that's the place I turn the rent in. The people in my building's office are so nice, they would probably give me one too. BRANDON: As I review my year on paper, I have been in the air flying all over for party planning, on the land here and there in my new office, and on the water with the Rentboy.com Cruise (and even more water if you count the hot water I am usually in). YIKES! ANGEL: Yeah, we have both traveled so much, I'm surprised that my family hasn't put my picture on a milk carton. BRANDON: I'm thirsty. ANGEL: Waitress! NONFAT milk for my friend please! ANGEL: You know who else had a fierce 2007? Kelly. Not Kelly Clarkson or Kelly Rowland, but Kelly the fabulous YouTube drag queen who brought us such ditties as "Shoes," "No Booty Calls," "Let Me Borrow That Top," and my personal favorite, "Text Message Break-Up." She even had cameos in her music videos from the likes of such celebrities as Margaret Cho and Dave Navarro. How fierce is that? Can we book her for the next Hustlaball?? BRANDON: …for reals. She's, wait, he's, wait, whatever, that character is a sign of the times and the times have a record of changing. Adapting to what's hot is hard to do. ANGEL: You know what isn't hard to do? Giving you a betchslap, shetbag! Just kidding boo. Here's to a fabulous 2008!
