Oasis Sens – Gays Up Cancun & Moves Past Spring Break
Forget what comes to mind right away when you think about this coastal Mexicana retreat off the Caribbean Sea. For years MTV—back when shows did not focus on teenage pregnancies and music video ruled the tube—portrayed Cancun as party central 24/7, showcasing the flocks of spring breakers. While that ‘party like there’s no tomorrow’ mindset does exist at the end of February and March during peak season of college visitors, they are not everywhere.

My recent journey to the tropical destination proved that the spring break scene only exists if you go looking for it. If you’re partying leans toward that of the gay variety, you’re in the clear, as the gay downtown scene was filled with locals and various traveling gays who are were not as rambunctious as your typical college boys and girls.
While downtown Cancun has most of the gay clubs, many come for fun in the sun at oceanfront stays. Leading a new gay hotel revolution of the sorts is the freshly renovated and rebranded Oasis Sens from the Oasis Hotels family, a chain of ten hotels and resorts in Cancun.

Travel Music: Sky Ferreira’s ‘Ghost’
Lyrical enchantress Sky Ferreira is set to release her much anticipated debut album I’m Not Alright this year. However with no new official date yet on its released—let’s hope not pushed back once again—Sky released her is releasing her third EP Everything Is Embarrassing on March 23.
I first started listening to Sky when her single “Obsession” became popular from the TV show The Vampire Diaries‘ soundtrack in 2010. I immediately fell in love with “Obsession” for its electropop anthem, with emphasis on the pop. It was like Goldfrapp’s “Oh La La” met Nelly Furtado’s “Say It Right,” and boy did Sky certainly sing it right!
Fast forward to the present, her second EP Ghost was released in the fall 2012 and it is a must listen! She’s grown to a mix of folkpop, indie, and alternative-rock sound that was unexpected. Ghost is loaded with five diverse tracks: “Lost In My Bedroom,” “Sad Dream,” “Ghost,” “Red Lips,” and “Everything is Embarrassing.”

NYFW & the DETAILS Men’s Accessories Show FW13
Fashion week, a time when designers of all levels showcase their work upcoming lines for either the spring/summer or fall/winter season. You typically have to know someone—or be an editor or buyer for a big name publication or retailer—to get invited to a many runway shows during any fashion week…or of course be a celebrity who’s worn an item from a designer once. However, the streets of the city hosting its fashion week events become runways themselves, even more so than usual. This past weekend kicked off New York Fashion Week, despite some snow blizzard named Nemo.
The Lincoln Center has become the hub for the fashion week events hosted by Mercedes-Benz, the head organizer, since 2010, and after 15 years of being at Bryant Park. While you need a ticket to get into most shows, there was an event open to the public, and for men.
Men’s fashion and lifestyle magazine, DETAILS hosted its first men’s accessories show this past Sunday (Feb. 10). While the publication has hosted runway events to feature various designers over the seasons and years, this was the first time it held one devoted to accessories, and on top of that, all were welcomed without a formal invitation.

Zumanity Brings More Man Candy With ‘Scottish Fantasy’
Unveiling almost 10 years ago, Zumanity provides visitors with “the sensual side of Cirque du Soleil” at its Las Vegas home in the New York-New York Hotel & Casino. As the first “adult-themed” show in the Cirque du Soleil brand, Zumanity offers something for everyone, of appropriate age, regardless of gender and their sexuality to enjoy.
This year, the cabaret-style show introduces more man eye candy for those of us who appreciate the male form. In ‘Scottish Fantasy,’ we are given attention to a shirtless, dominating Scot, played by artist Alex Stabler. Stabler is decked out in a jockstrap-like, yellow plaid patteren kilt that is designed by Thierry Mugler, whom designed all the outfits in Zumanity.
