The tick-tock of time. The collection of dust (and doilies). The non-stop bad decisions of horny gay men across America — self-portraitizing themselves and inadvertently sharing the horrors of their homes with, well, everyone in the world. It’s enough to make you cry into your eggnog (and cancel your Manhunt subscription.)

As the year closes we’re making some changes here at Lurid Digs. Our lone Italian Peacock and style maven, John Calendo, is taking time off to focus on the full-time demand of finishing his first novel. John will still work as Senior Editor with Nightcharm and maybe, if I can beg with enough fervor, make the occasional appearance here on LD.

Longtime Nightcharm contributor and Lurid Digs style honcho Shawn Baker will be assuming John’s former position as Executive-Editor with NC. And I’ll write more about Sean’s meteoric rise to the top of queer porn’s smartest website later this month on Nightcharm.

And finally, I’d like to welcome to the fray our newest interior design mensch, Canadian wunderkind Sean Horlor.

Sean’s the co-creator and co-host of a comedy lifestyle reality TV series called Don’t Quit Your Gay Job (coming to Logo in the US in 2010), a garrulous author and a columnist covering Vancouver’s nightlife in the city’s first gay blog Up Your Alley.

When I emailed Sean yesterday, to let him know that he’d landed the LD’s appointment, he responded:

“Are you telling me that the countless hours I’ve frittered away checking out guys online over the past decade was all in preparation for a moment like this? Kelly Clarkson is probably so jealous right now that she could bottle me in the throat.”

And she is pissed! Kelly called me this morning to let me know that her life does indeed now, officially, SUCK, after losing out to Sean. Yes, the cutthroat world of interior design thrashing (and trashing). It’s killing us all.

Love,

David K.
