Even if you aren’t a pumpkin fan, there’s something for everyone to enjoy in this episode of Funny Sexy Kitchen with Lorenzo & Pedro.
Special guest Colby Melvin helps show you how to make a Pumpkin Martini (and maybe some trouble in the kitchen).
This is pretty much how things go in my holiday kitchen, how about you?

Rachel Maddow reports on Ted Cruz, Republican presidential candidate, avoiding directly addressing his association with religious extremists who cited the Bible as justifying executing homosexuals and abortion doctors.
According to Maddow, Cruz’s campaign asked for evidence that the anti-gay rant occurred: “Send me a video or audio where he explicitly says this and I will look at it.”
Video of the vile speech wasn’t enough for Cruz’s people, though. The campaign responded with two words: “Not explicit.”
I think the speech is clear as can be. It goes without saying that it would appear that even “implicit” calls for executing gays would be coolio with Cruz.

| Eddie Redmayne stars as Lili Elbe, in Tom Hooper’s THE DANISH GIRL |
The Danish Girl starring Eddie Redmayne opens today in NYC and LA, with wide distribution in December.
The remarkable love story inspired by the lives of Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener (portrayed by Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne [“The Theory of Everything”] and Alicia Vikander [“Ex Machina”]), directed by Academy Award winner Tom Hooper (“The King’s Speech,” “Les Misérables”).
Lili and Gerda’s marriage and work evolve as they navigate Lili’s groundbreaking journey as a transgender pioneer.
Donald Trump has stepped in it yet again.
While defending his claim (thoroughly debunked by major media outlets) that “thousands and thousands” cheered at the fall of the World Trade Center on 9/11 over in New Jersey, Trump mocked a reporter – Serge Kovaleski – who now works for the New York Times.
The real estate mogul flailed his arms stiffly as he imitated Serge Kovaleski, a New York Times reporter who suffers from arthrogryposis, which limits joint movement.
Mr Kovaleski had provoked The Donald’s ire by disputing his claim to have witnessed “thousands” of Arab-Americans in New Jersey cheering as the World Trade Centre crumbled on 11 September 2001 – a long-discredited conspiracy theory, for which Mr Trump failed to present a scrap of evidence. “The sad part about it is, it didn’t in the slightest bit jar or surprise me that Donald Trump would do something this low-rent, given his track record,” Mr Kovaleski told The Washington Post.
As a reporter at the New York Daily News in the late 1980s and early ’90s, Kovaleski covered Trump’s business dealings, and met the the real estate magnate on several occasions.
Trump had been citing Kovaleski’s Washington Post article written in the aftermath of 9/11: “Law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river.”
Trump’s original statement said that Trump himself witnessed seeing “thousands and thousands” cheering.
When asked about the article, Kovaleski said he doesn’t remember seeing actual people celebrating the attacks. “We did a lot of shoe leather reporting in and around Jersey City and talked to a lot of residents and officials for the broader story. Much of that has, indeed, faded from memory … I do not recall anyone saying there were thousands, or even hundreds, of people celebrating. That was not the case, as best as I can remember.”
After much backlash for his comment, Trump issued this statement:

What a great way to commemorate the occasion – On December 1st – for World AIDS Day – the National AIDS Trust (NAT) will be setting up a “Pop-Up Kissing Booth” in London’s Soho Square.
From LGBTQ Nation:
Sponsored by Attitude magazine and Sink The Pink, passerby will have the chance to either make out with an assortment of drag artists or the insipidly handsome model Alex Mountain, recently featured in the “Red Hot” campaign.
The booth is a direct response to research that suggests 16% of people still believe you can contract HIV merely from kissing – up, astonishingly, from 4% ten years ago.
“The booth is going to be great fun,” says NAT’s chief executive Deborah Gold, “but it also highlights an important message: That too many people in this country believe myths and scaremongering about HIV. This leads to stigma against people living with HIV, and increases the number of people getting the disease. Its time it ends.”
“The numbers of people who don’t know the basic facts about HIV and how it is transmitted is completely shocking,” says Attitude editor Matthew Todd. “And it should be cause for the government to bring in mandatory sex and relationships education in schools. The kissing booth is a fun way to make a really important point — that HIV is still here and more needs to be done to educate people about it.”
Happy thanksgiving everyone. 😃A photo posted by Stuart Reardon (@stureardon) on Nov 26, 2015 at 1:09am PST

| Award-winning singer/songwriter/film producer Matt Zarley |
As part of my newly-launched companion podcast, I interview award-winning singer/songwriter turned movie producer Matt Zarley joins us to talk on the journey of his acclaimed musical short film, “hopefulROMANTIC.”
The film stars Zarley, Jolie Jenkins, Chuck Seculla, and TV icon/LGBT activist George Takei.
Accepted into over two dozen film festivals, the film is part music video, part Broadway musical and part romantic movie – in fact, it’s all of those things and more.
Zarley discusses the inspiration for the project, as well as the evolution of the film. Plus, he shares several songs from the movie soundtrack.
I enjoy the podcast/radio show medium – and why not? I get to talk even more!
After reading my posts for so long, don’t you want to tune in for a few minutes to hear what I sound like? 🙂
