Anyone who’s ever spent time in Tel Aviv knows that basically all of the dudes there kind of look like the two above. Which if you’re into hirsute beef — is a good thing indeed. So considering the critical mass, it was only a matter of time before the city debuted its first-ever club night [...]

TREND ALERT: France's New Hamster Hotel
The folks over in France are so naughty! First they invent kissing, then they perfect the affair and now they’ve taken a simple hotel stay and revved it up to new — and absurdly kinky — levels with the debut of the world’s first hamster hotel. Yes, a hamster hotel. Le Villa Hamster! Before we [...]
UP FOR AUCTION: Alitalia's In-House Art Collection

RAINBOW COALITION: Virgin Blue Now Major Mardi Gras Sponsor
Virgin Airlines — and its cheeky founder Richard Branson — have always been right behind supporting right-on causes. Which is why it’s not so surprising that his Australian airline division — The Virgin Blue Group — has become the lead supporter of Sydney’s annual fun-fest, Mardi Gras. The move makes Virgin Blue the official airline [...]
RIGHT WING RIDICULOUSNESS: Religious Group Accuses Blogger of "Gay Terror"
Anyone who’s followed this site knows that we at Transracial have had our issues with Joe Jervis (above) — the man and mind behind the popular blog Joe. My. God.
