Gaywheels review: 2010 Chevy Camaro

Last Tuesday night, we gaped at the ripped-up, muscular silhouette of a hot guy in New York’s West Village. Even from outside the windows, it was clear he’d moved beyond the Chelsea muscle boy phase, looking svelte and serious among the sophisticated milieu at Cooper Classics gallery. The view was so great from outside that we couldn’t resist ducking in for a closer inspection …

Dish: In-The-Mood Food

Yes, there's a difference between vanilla and Viagra, but a sexy meal is an astonishingly effective tactic in the war of amour. Perhaps it's the wine you polished off with supper, perhaps it's the calling-all-senses approach to savoring your food. It could be that your meal was chock-full of pheremones and neurotransmitters. Or maybe the idea of being served and seduced (or of serving and seducing) was irresistible in itself. So here are a few pointers toward luscious lust ...

The Phone From Mother Earth

Hearing "eco-friendly technology" can bring up images of butt-ugly cars or underpowered computers. I mean, the sacrifice has to come from somewhere, right?

That said, the MOTO Renew is the first phone to actually worth considering. And, believe it or not, it is made out of 100% recycled materials.

MOTO Renew is definitely retro, reminiscent of earlier Motorola or Nokia phones, down to the basic screen and low-grade multimedia capabilities. (No fancy MP3 player on this one!) The green and black shell isn't exactly noteworthy, either. The positives? It has a nice, long battery life, giving nine hours active use - compared to as little as two hours on fancier phones - and the phone itself is created from recycled plastic bottles and other reused materials. And no, you can't tell.

The MOTO Renew is available now for a cheap $59.99. And better yet, T-Mobile is offering a limited-time $50 instant discount, making the phone a cool $9.99.

Showing Skin And Saving Face

In a column about life on Fire Island a few years ago, a writer for TimeOut New York complained about the abundance of gay men with pumped-up, seemingly 20-year-old bodies traipsing about with 50-year-old faces.

Yes, gay men are looking younger and younger every year -- from the neck down. But do we really want to have the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Pumping Iron" attached to the head of Winston Churchill?

Plug-in Software That Fine Tunes iTunes

I generally like the way iTunes orchestrates my music collection, but sometimes it hits a wrong chord on the older and more eclectic CDs transferred to my computer.

That's why hundreds of songs in my iTunes library are missing the proper album artwork or have been lumped into loosely defined categories that don't truly describe the music genre.

For instance, the iTunes automated identification system believes that some songs by the B-52s, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and the Byrds all belong in the generic rock section. But these birds don't really flock together, do they?

Electric SuperCar For Recession-Proof Rich Guys

Take a sports car, add a dollop of Bruce Wayne and a generous helping of James Bond, and you might have an idea what it's like to drive the Tesla Roadster.

The electric super-car, unveiled in '06, is impressive by any conventional measure. Years later, the two-seater is still one of just a handful of electric cars on the road that can hold its own alongside any gas-powered challenger -- and is by far one of the most stylish of the bunch.

Jason Wu: Fame, Fashion and Focus

Designer Jason Wu couldn't even tell his mother that he was working on a gown for Michelle Obama when he worked day and night during the holiday season.

But with all eyes on the new first lady as she emerged to attend the inaugural balls, Wu didn't have a chance to call his family in Taiwan to tell them the white, one-shoulder gown she was wearing was his design. They saw it on CNN first.

"Has there ever been an event with so many people watching?" the youthful and openly gay designer wonders with wide eyes in his Garment District studio, which, despite his new celebrity, is sparse and reached by a rickety closet-size elevator.

Signature Style: Coralcocowexler

"Signature Style" puts the fashion spotlight on "regular" gay men across the country, because we want to see your style! Today, Coralcocowexler shows off his look.

Describe the sensation you get after you make a killer find.

That really is predicated on what the "find" is: recently, at Bloomingdales, I found a pair of jeans by Seven for All Mankind on sale for only $26 . . . in contrast for their normal price of about $230. I was so surprised, I ran up to a salesperson and asked if the sale price was correct. I just couldn't believe it, but apparently this style of jeans didn't sell for them in a 30 waist at all and they were nearly giving them away.

How An iPod Can Be A Poor Man's iPhone

I try to keep a stiff upper lip about not having an iPhone. Just couldn't afford it -- not with the $75 a month or so AT&T charges for service on top of the $199 upfront cost for the device.

I could, however, afford the $229 iPod Touch, and got it as a gift, as it happened. It has most of the same goodies: a Web browser, e-mail, YouTube. And it stores way more music than the iPhone. (Ha!)

Plus, the other day I used it to call China.

A Massage That's Good For The Sole

Ching Lau is already the "sole man" of SoCal, but he won't be satisfied until every American has beaten a path to the door of a foot massage parlor.

For Lau isn't just a businessman, he's a man on a mission. His quest: to spread the ancient Chinese art of having one's feet dunked in steaming hot tubs of water, then pinched, poked and prodded, all in the name of good health.
