No, I was not invited to HBP Weekend
I'm dumping the Gentleman Friend, because, you know what, I just found the perfect man!!!
Behold: MIKE WARNER!!! <3

The Japanese businessmen on Wall Street pay top yen for this shit.
I'd describe Mike myself, but, for fear of putting words into his mouth, I'll just copy and paste some "FUN FACTS" verbatim from his Friendster profile!
- He's Canadian!
- He lives his life to its absolute fullest!
- He is not content to lead a normal life!
- He balances an aggressive social life with excessive travel!
- He is fluent in four languages!
- He was President of a nude mock election campaign that made the newspaper and evening news!!!!!!!!!!
MY GOD, HOW CAN YOU RESIST?!
Oh...
Wait...
That's right...
The whole "Hot Boy Posse" thing.
Here's how "GoGo Mike" describes himself on the "Hot Boy Posse Weekend" website:
GoGo Mike, 29, lives in the West Village of Manhattan in New York City, where he has balanced four years of working on Wall Street with an insatiable appetite for travel, networking, and a highly aggressive social calendar. Originally from Vancouver, Canada, he earned his name as a part-time go-go dancer, which he pursued as a hobby on select evenings outside of his Wall Street day job. This lead to inevitable networking, party planning, and eventually, to travel via an unnamed but nationwide network of outgoing gay boys, who he later termed the "Hot Boy Posse," or "HBP".
You know, I love a good neo-Nazi pep rally, so I'll be sure to attend next year, when GoGo Mike turns 30!
Augh. Gag me.

Comments
Well, Toby, look I just visited the HBP site and all I can say is "...get the rope."
Ugh. I mean, yeah hot boys I guess, but geez o fuckin man!
Can't you hear the boys chanting along with the music at that site "we're hot, we're gay, you're not, stay away."
I know, I'm just jealous cause they somehow forgot to invite me to their upcoming party.

Stop bitching!!

You refer to the guy your seeing as "the gentleman friend". Is that because he picks up the tab for everything and is older?
TOBY SAYS: Yes.

Toby and Atari - you both are hotter than these "hot boys'

Oh Jesus. I just looked at his pictures, he was in Austin last August (my hometown) I know all those guys he was with. Crack-whores.

I'm quite familiar with the euphemisms that cunning Canucks will use to shroud they lifestyle in mystery, so I'll edit Mike's auto-bio for you all:
***GoGo Mike, 29, lives in the West Village of Manhattan in New York City, where he has (battled) four years of working on Wall Street with an insatiable appetite for (cocaine), (bareback sex), and a highly aggressive (eating disorder). Originally from Vancouver, Canada, he earned his name as a part-time (prostitute), which he pursued as a hobby on select evenings outside of his Wall Street day job. This lead to inevitable (pretentiousness), (sex) party planning, and eventually, to travel via an unnamed (and un-protected) network of outgoing gay boys, who he later termed the "(Herpes) Boy Posse," or "HBP".***
Pot calling the kettle black? Almost, but not quite: I've yet to plan a party for all my coke-head friends. That's in May. ;)

I wish I'd known about Hot Boy Posse earlier -- me and my boys from San Francisco would've definitely signed up! We're all cute, white, smooth paralegals who are pushing 30, and we're always looking for ways to gratify our all-consuming, masturbatory self-obsession!!!!!!!

I haven't seen that much mystic tan and lip gloss since the last time I surfed to Brat Boy's website.

Why do I need a spoon when I can gag myself with that?

Havent seem gums like that since Jaws 1 + 2.

I live in New York and have been subjected to this douchebag and his twat friends on more than one occasion. They descend on private events or bars screaming "Hot!" at the top of their lungs, take camphone pictures of each other, and generally annoy everyone in the vicinity. I'm so sad my membership got lost in the mail... sadly I'm condemned to being a member of the "Average Boy Posse". Sigh.
TOBY SAYS: Buddy, we average guys (note that I said "guys") have to stick together!!!
Posted by: Dan | January 18, 2006 09:03 PM
Killer. I disavow both, and assert that there are (albeit few) homo's of substance in Canada... though fewer soon.
I'm leaving the country.
Posted by: M. Spider | January 18, 2006 10:46 PM
Can I rename them the Butterface Posse? Because seriously? ...Except for a few guys at that site, I don't see how most of these guys would be considered "hot" if it weren't for their roided bodies.
Posted by: Brian | January 19, 2006 12:19 AM
wow. damn. never considered myself much of a leather guy, but suddenly all those bears leftover from MAL have never seemed more appealing.
and mikey's going on 30, is he? excuse me while I go shoot myself.
Posted by: Dan | January 19, 2006 09:37 AM
I'm on the inside....I was invited...I of course was unavailable....although hanging out with 98 17-20 year olds and a thirty year old with the vocab of paris hilton...
Not my cup of tea.
there are many things wrong with them....it's hard to find a starting point.
...oh...and gogo doesn't do drugs. You'll have to if you are forced to maintain a conversation with him tho
Posted by: insider.... | January 19, 2006 10:54 AM
the way this guy describes himself you'd think he's applying for a flight attendant job over at southwest.
Posted by: Dan | January 19, 2006 11:39 AM
However lame it may be, you are all infinitely more pathetic by taking the time to post hate pages and write about how stupid it is. Why don’t you all start your own club called the “bitter, jaded, ugly, and old posse” and leave the poor kid alone.
TOBY SAYS: Ah, yes, the predictable "You're just bitter" retort. I was waiting for that.
And he's not a kid, he's 29 years old. The truth hurts.
Posted by: Bud | January 19, 2006 01:38 PM
This gonna turn into a regular feature? Kind of an "Ethan Alert" for your readers?
God knows there's a virtually unlimited supply of 'em out there...
Posted by: Dan | January 19, 2006 03:02 PM
Thank you for so cleverly and eloquently expressing my own disdain for boys like the "HBP." Jesus Christ on a cracker!
Posted by: erik | January 19, 2006 04:02 PM
Ugh. This makes me so proud to be gay. How humliating. Oh, and before a hater says I'm jealous? Nope. Not at all. If there was a photo of me on the Internet in drag or shirtless acting like a stupid meth-head I'd probably leave the country. But, my momma raised me right.
Posted by: Charlie | January 19, 2006 07:37 PM
OMG what a bunch of freaks. Just give me a red-blooded Southern man with a stubble and bedroom scowl anytime.
Posted by: Grrrr | January 19, 2006 09:23 PM
to the poster above who said we are pathetic for wasting so much time discussing how lame these people are, it took me approximately 24 seconds to post my earlier comment. while i'm very busy and typically intoxicated, 24 seconds lost hasn't really put a dent in my social calendar.
this post took slightly longer...but i was totally drinking while typing so i wouldn't even say this was wasted time.
Posted by: Carrie | January 19, 2006 09:38 PM
toby, babe, who cares about this guy, no matter how annoying? stop hatin', lil' man. why focus your considerable talents and energy on negativity and flame? lovin you. mean it. leave the poor, annoying bastards of the world alone - why waste your energy?
TOBY SAYS: Because it's funny. If you want to be all unicorns and rainbows, then get your own blog!
Posted by: t.todd | January 19, 2006 10:09 PM
Carrie...don't you mean your AGGRESSIVE social calendar? Heh. Those guys are such douchebags.
Posted by: Brian | January 19, 2006 10:21 PM
yech . . . the hot boy posse must be the force driving all those queens into ex-gay reparative therapy
Posted by: mary | January 19, 2006 10:48 PM
Toby, please write another post ASAP. I can't stand seeing that guy's horsey face when your blog loads up.
Posted by: Sam | January 20, 2006 12:24 AM
Surprisingly enough, despite my perpetual angst about how I look and where I fit in the gay community, I really couldn't give a flying fuck about this "Hot Boy Posse." "What the hell ever!" I say. I admit, I wouldn't mind having their bodies, but the rest...
And I'm with Sam: please post something, Toby! That braying drag mule is freakin' me OUT, man!!!
Posted by: Bourgeois Nerd | January 20, 2006 02:06 AM
LOL...Toby, you do realize that you've just pissed off about 1/4 of the NYC gay scene? Loves it! I know a few of these guys and I'm so glad that you have the balls to call them out.
Posted by: Jacob | January 20, 2006 04:56 AM
I know that the HBP looks pathetic but Mike is a really nice guy. I remember him from when he was a go-go boy at Kurfew. He was really nice to me. It's sad though that he's 29 and is looking/acting like he's 16.
Oh well...
Posted by: TK | January 20, 2006 09:17 AM
I understand where the just-ignore-them contingent is coming from, but keep in mind that a) the HBP promote themselves, so they're asking for attention, and that really invites criticism; and b) this was a pretty funny post.
Also, anyone who comes here and says "stop bitching" is really, really unclear on the concept.
Posted by: anapestic | January 20, 2006 11:19 AM
Toby is the best.
Would it be awesome if Toby went to HBP headquarters and fight them like the Japanese restaurant scene in “Kill Bill 1”?
Posted by: niwde | January 20, 2006 11:44 AM
Oddly enough, I am not shocked by this groups existence, shallowness or anything of that sort. I am not even shocked by how many mystic tanned bodies can be in one place at the same time (which I am sure carries some EPA warning with it).
The only thing that shocks me is that they aren't the Hot BOI Posse. Maybe they thought that was going to far?
Posted by: TJ | January 20, 2006 01:58 PM
Mind you, they're all occupied with each other, in places I would never go, so they aren't getting in my way.
Posted by: M. Spider | January 20, 2006 02:41 PM
it's a conceptual art piece, right? it's gotta be.
Posted by: whitney houston | January 21, 2006 10:46 AM
i went to the "hot boy posse" website, and after recovering from the petit mal seizure i received from the hugely loud music and flashing pics of what i guess are "hot boys," i realized that somehow missed hot boy posse weekend. i can't believe i have to wait yet another year for this hot boy retreat, but that'll give me enough time to save up for calf implants. waah waaah
Posted by: Joe | January 21, 2006 12:00 PM
Toby, well said. This pic is so ... chelsea!
Give me East Village men anyday. I don't like Chelsea or Greenwich Village men -- they think they're all that. Barf.

I'm sure someone will say that I'm bitter -- but if you look at his picture -- he does looked like strung out on meth or something.

Stillettos! Go-Go fag is not from Chelsea....Don't give us Chelsea boys a bad rap like that.
Posted by: Rocco | January 23, 2006 09:28 AM
These guys are 1/4th the gay social scene in NYC? Would normally give manhattan more credit than that. Granted, DC's running at 1/3rd, but come on... it's DC.
Posted by: Dan | January 23, 2006 10:30 AM
So tragic. I can't wait until they get their first wrinkle and their gut starts to show.
Posted by: FrenchBenj | January 23, 2006 07:04 PM
And they're so modest, too. And mature. What a train wreck.
