After a somewhat tumultuous month the Box crew is finally settling down and getting cracking on the most ambitious issue yet. Unfortunately there are still some haters out there and to those haters I say: SUCK IT!
To everyone else here's a little hollywood insider scoop I picked up at a Tranny sushi bar in San Francisco.

It was my boyfriends birthday and I was in town for the occasion. We called ahead and made reservations for two. When we arrived, the door girl (yes a real girl) told us that we had no reservation but she'd "be happy to put you at the dinner bar." We walked past every table in the place and finally reached the end of the bar. We were seated right next to the waitress' station in the last two seats. It was a bit upsetting at first but it turns out it was well worth the inconvenience.

We not only had conversations with all the girls but we also got all of the gossip going down at Asia S.F. Girls were pissed because it was Grammy night, Ginger does too much blow, Sasha is a raging bitch, Melody wasn't supposed to come in tonight and so on.

It was all vaguely entertaining in a transgendered reality t.v. sort of a way but it wasn't enough to make up for the lost reservations. One of the girls got on stage and performed, we ate a great meal, things were looking up. However, the highlight of the night came in the form of an overheard conversation between the most beautiful woman/man I'd ever seen and the hunky asian bartender.

Bartender: You know you've had some hot celebrity dick.
Waitress: No I haven't.
B: Bull shit, tell us about it. Who was it?
Waitress: I'm not telling you?
B: Was it Eddie Murphy?
Waitress: NO!
B: Who was it?
Waitress: FIne! I was hanging out with this guy at a bar in L.A.
It was me and him and a whole bunch of his boys kickin' it in the
VIP. The whole night he was all up on it like he wanted som, but
I wasn't giving it up. So he finally grabbed me and said 'Baby let's go
up to my room.' I said 'Baby I have to tell you something.'
He was like 'Whatever it is I can handle it.' So I told him 'I have a dick.'
The mother fucker was all 'It's cool I'm a bottom.' I was like honey, not for me."
B: No fucking way. HA HA HA! He's a fag?

Yes he is folks. Or at least that's what she said – and i believe her. With looks like those she could turn any man.

Does something seem off to you?

Despite the cold snap and tight nipples around the office, great things are in store for Box in the warming months. We're starting to get submissions in for #3, and it's shaping up to be our best (and probably most controversial) issue yet. I'm excited, others are nervous, and one of us is hungry.

By the way, are you going to be in town for SXSW? Let us know, and we'll keep you informed about an upcoming Box Party.

Next Top Model

Vix here....

Watching the Tyra Show last night I couldn't help but wonder, "Why did I love her so much before?" The first two seasons of America's Next Top Model were amazing... since becoming some sort of business mogul, Tyra's collapsed into some psuedo-intellectual blatherer.(i.e. 'Pop culture controls us all').

ANYWAY, I found these photos and thought you might like them. It's our "Towel Shoot."

It's time for this Bunny to bounce. I am going to the land of Chronic and homos and leaving a land of cows and crackers. All the karats in the world couldn't get this Bunny to stay in Texas for another day. However, if you think you could prove me wrong name the time and place and I'll bring my appraiser. CHA-CHING BITCH.
I need some Emergen-C and a bowl of greens.

Stick this in your iCal

So, you know when you're life's too fucking scheduled?

When you're in the shower, and you think 'Damn, I should've put the conditioner in my hair BEFORe I started jerking off...would've given it some time to work."

Welcome to my life.
