well darlins
its the first official night of bear week here in p'town
for those not in the know
allow me to explain to you what a bear is
no we are not talking about the furry creatures who live in caves and forrests
although well they might
but a bear is something of a reaction within the gay male community to the buff, manicured, waxed, highlighted circuit boy, chelsea boy, west hollywood boy you know too perfect to be true kinda gay boy
a bear is quite the opposite.. not only do bears not wax but they probably don't shave either..and sport thick, full, sometimes long beards
the more body hair the better
and ideally a bear will have natural muscle, the kind that comes from working with your hands not working out in spin class
a bear is allowed and maybe even encouraged to have some extra padding
in some cases a whole hell of a lot of extra padding
some real beer or shall i say bear bellies honey!
often bears will partner with smaller younger less bearded men
they are called cubs
a smoother, less furry, sorta bear in training guy may be called an otter or an elk
isn't that just so cute

folks in ptown myself included love bear week
because bears like men
bears like women
bears eat a lot
tip a lot
and are not stuck up
a whole lot of clean shaven non bear gay men
like to come to ptown during bear week
because they say
its the only time they feel comfortable in their bathing suits in a gay town
maybe they dont work out
but on bear week
no one cares

as for moi
well im goldy-locks during bear week
goldy locks and the 3,000 bears

i think they're all cute and cuddly
and im just plain happy to see them celebrate the love
that dares to call its name FUZZY

so there cheers for bears!

and four cheers for queers

its a fun week ya'all
