PHOTOS: “Looking” Fans in Los Angeles Get Sexy Sneak Peak

Season two of Looking premieres tonight, but fans of the HBO hit gathered in Hollywood last week for an exclusive Los Angeles screening party sponsored by Queerty. Daniel Franzese, TV’s first major gay bear character, arrived as fashionable late as he did to the show, which he has already managed to steal, at least based on the first two episodes. After an exclusive glimpse into the ongoing Patrick-Richie-Kevin love triangle, replete with the show’s most explicit sex scene to date, Queerty kept the bar open late so the crowd could enjoy a delicious Tito’s cocktail or five.

Take a look through pictures below and Queerty’s Facebook albums of the Los Angeles and New York City screenings…

We cannot allow religious beliefs to cross the line of medicine and harm our youth

This past week, like so many other transgender people, I carried out my daily activities with a heavy heart and anger. A transgender 17-year-old named Leelah Alcorn committed suicide on December 28.

Shape Up! …And On The Seventh Day, You Can Rest

You’re tired, your feet hurt, and your food cravings have taken a turn for the bizarre. No, you’re not pregnant;* you’re overtraining.

Don’t worry: you don’t need to throw in the towel on your new year, new you; you simply need to rein it in a little bit. But first, pat yourself on the back for what you’ve accomplished so far this year! You’re (likely) hitting the gym so hard as per your SMART goals, you’re meal-prepping like a rock star (who meal preps), and you’re finally getting enough sleep.

Now answer this: When was your last rest day?

If you’re hearing crickets and/or tumbleweeds while you rack your brain for the answer, you are due for a day away from the gym (at least once per week).

Here’s why:

1. Your muscles need to recover in order to grow. Is your body asking politely (e.g., by being sore) to be left alone? Listen.

2. Your other tissues (fascia, tendons, ligaments) recover at a different rate than your muscles, and they won’t ask you politely so much as demand rudely (e.g., your ankles, grip muscles, or hips are downright cranky) for a break? You’d better really listen. Or get benched for weeks or even months due to a preventable overuse-induced injury, such as tendonitis.

3. You’ll burn out, and your New “Year” resolution will barely last a month.

Again, don’t worry. I’ve come up with a list of things for you to do on your rest day instead of stare longingly at the gym selfies in your Instagram feed. You’re welcome.

1. Get your car washed (admit it: it’s time).

2. Get a massage (your body will love you for this).

3. Meal prep.

4. Make a kick-ass playlist for your next workout.

5. Read amazingly well-written and insightful fitness articles on Queerty.

*Or you are. I don’t know your life.

The Phoenix Effect, a metabolic bootcamp that gets you in shape fast, is offered exclusively at Mansion Fitness, 7914 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood.

Fabio Illada And Daniel Morales Make Navy Underwear A Cool Blue That Burns Hot

When you think about it, navy blue exists in a unique space. Navy blue is a relatively neutral hue — a color that’s allowed to go where others aren’t. It’s the only real color commonly seen on menswear. Navy blue slacks and suits? Sure. Red? Not so much. When men are tired of their constant rotation of black, white, grey, and khaki, they turn to navy blue. The shade has a warm cool that’s always in style.

Several underwear brands have released navy blue underwear recently. And while each brand approached the color differently, there are some things you simply cannot change about navy blue: it’s going to be a dressier shade, and it’s going to look handsome when cut into masculine underwear designs.

Male models Fabio Illada and Daniel Morales traveled to the Canary Islands for a photo shoot with photographer Adrian C. Martin for this Underwear Expert exclusive.They model several different brands and styles, all created from brilliant navy blues. The tropical setting even serves to show how well navy blue looks, no matter the season. You’ve seen some of the pics. You can see all 31 over at The Underwear Expert.
