Sean and PatrickWest Hollywood is famous for the gorgeous men, most of them with the bodies of Greek gods, and it's a pretty darn good entertainment to watch them wander by. Mark and I accomplish our oogling by having iced tea at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf several times a week. It is inexpensive and the atmosphere is pleasant; small tables beneath the trees along Santa Monica Boulevard provide dappled shade and, as mentioned, the parade of handsome gay men!. Our hot summer days are tolerable with this small indulgence.

We've also managed to meet some really great guys who also frequent the shop, and we congregate around a table and talk of everything: our sex lives, the movies, our pets, haircuts, cars and of course the helpless passerby who's had the poor judgement to stray within our target range wearing some god-awful outfit, which we proceed to verbally shred. (Out of hearing range!)

Kidding aside, it's been a blessing to meet new people and begin friendships which I hope will be long-lasting. It's a marvelous feeling to enjoy the company of these erudite, self-effacing men who always have a bit of humor to share no matter what's gone awry in their lives. It helps me, at least, to stop worrying for a few minutes about the bullshit and just relax and have a laugh.
So, if you're in the neighborhood, dress chicly and stop by for a glass of tea and bit of gossip.
