Make sure to keep checking back as I will continute to dish with the stars, upload photos and interviews, etc.
Today, I leave you with one of my favorite things, like, ever.
This is from a National Geographic spread I read about eight years ago. Look at the photo, then I'll tell you the story.
So the photographer, Mark Thomas, was doing a shoot on the sled dogs in Manitoba, Canada(where temperatures reach a bone chilling 40 below!). All the sled dogs were tied up for the night when a giant polar bear emerged on the horizon.
It had been a tough season, and with the lack of food available it was getting more common for the polar bears to wander into populated areas looking for nosh - and a pack of leashed sled dogs certainly fit the bill perfectly.
The photographer readied his camera, anticipating the carnage that would occur. Then something amazing happened.
As all the dogs barked, one assumed the play position. The polar bear approached this dog, then sat down. And well, you can see the rest in the photos. The two of them had a little play time. A hungry bear, a work dog - natural enemies, yet they engaged in a little romping in the snow.
The article pointed out that as much as the animals need food, they also need play.
And the moral of the story is.... YES, lesbians and gay men can get along!!! There are plenty of lesbian/gay man rompings to be seen in throughout my blog, so enjoy y'all.
And see you tomorrow!
