Cameron’s ironic London moustache didn’t code properly in Palm Springs. The town has a very large community of, mostly older (retirement age-ish), gay men, and many of those have moustaches. Not the recently resurgent sort of facial hair you see on the faces of young guys in Shoreditches or Brooklyns – where it seems to …

When the artist Hieronymus Bosch passed away 500 years ago in the little Dutch town of ’s-Hertogenbosch, he left behind an astonishing and groundbreaking portfolio — with intricate scenes of monstrous figures doing the wackiest things — that continue to inspire disciples and perplex experts to this day.

Hard to believe that today is July 16th. Yesterday was Memorial Day, I'm sure of it. July 4th came and went and I'm afraid that tomorrow will be Labor Day. This summer more than ever has FLOWN by so fast.

Over the years, the ways to monetize travel blogs has changed dramatically.
Matt Skallerud's insight:
Brands and DMOs have to offer more than just a free trip if you are looking to bring in top-tier bloggers. And just retweeting my photo doesn’t light my fire or move the needle for me — or most people, for that matter... You need to do more.

The Bay Area's great gay getaway from wet winter wanderlust is amazingly, artfully, and attentively aging.
Matt Skallerud's insight:
As the West's undisputed gay resort capital, Palm Springs and neighboring Cathedral City are home to more than three-dozen gay hotels and guesthouses. The area contains an embarrassment of riches, both in the quality and variety of its resorts. Over the past couple of years, the overall number of gay resorts has remained stable. A couple new ones have opened. A couple have closed, most notably the upscale Villa Resort in Cathedral City. The remainder continue to improve, renovate, and update.

The world has long been captivated by the bohemian spirit of Greenwich Village. The Village has always encouraged creative minds and promoted free expression. It has been home to visionaries such as Edward Hopper, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Jack Kerouac, Willa Cather and others. Classic bands like the Velvet Underground, Social Distortion and the Beastie Boys all had their start here. Tourists and New York locals alike flock to this historical and cultural epicenter for its unconventional charm and warm community.

The tour includes a stop at The Stonewall Inn, a Mafia-run gay bar that was the site of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, which spurred the gay liberation movement. On June 24, 2016, the area around the Stonewall Inn was named the first LGBT U.S. National Monument and national park site. The tour also makes a stop at Julius,' a favorite spot of Alan Cumming and the site of the historic "sip-in" protests that challenged the law banning those identifying as LGBT from consuming alcohol.

Palm Springs is celebrated for Greater Palm Springs Pride, the world famous Pride Weekend Festival and the Gay Pride Parade 30 years in the making. Clubs and bars in Palm Springs have become havens, some solely geared toward those in the LGBT community, others open to everyone of every sexuality. Each establishment cannot be more different, ranging from a typical local bar feel, to a country bar, to a full blown leather fetish bar. There is something for everyone, and that’s what Palm Springs is all about.

When some people think of a “gay resort,” they assume it’s basically a seedy bathhouse. Some resorts in Fort Lauderdale live up to that stereotype – The Grand Resort and Spa is not one of them. This preconceived notion of mine was quickly checked at the front gate when I checked-in for an extended stay. Just steps away from the beach, this luxurious home away from home is the best place to stay while visiting the “Venice of America.” Need proof? Here are seven reasons why it’s true.
