It's official.

I hate this "face control" system. This is the shittiest idea ever.

It's rather quite funny, actually.

Especially here in St. Petersburg.

I think I'm probably the gayest person in Russia at the moment.

For instance, for fun, I decided to take a quick 10 minute stroll around Nevsky Prospekt earlier this evening just to "piss" people off, wearing nothing but a baby blue terry cloth fitted zip up hoodie with matching tracksuit bottoms (Juicy Couture), a big white fox fur jacket and my white dior snow boots... and my Dior rasta handbag.

I got all sorts of looks from all sorts of people.

Generally, I dress probably "louder" when I go out to clubs.

I went to 2 gay clubs here in St. Petersburg, Sinners and Cabaret -- both on Friday and Saturday nights... I probably spent no longer than 15 minutes on each club.

All the gay guys there are VERY weird... I don't know the correct spelling but i believe my friends in moscow refer them as govnyuki (not gomik.. but govnyuki gopnyiki or something)... i certainly got a lot of looks especially since i'm probably the only non-white person there. god knows whether they are good or bad looks but i don't give a flying fu**.

i just don't like the gay clubs in moscow and spb.

anyway, so i tried to get in at metro on friday (well 2am and saturday) and they told me it have to have a club card.... in other words... face control

and based on what i've read, Metro ain't that ELITNY anyway, compared to jet set or onegin

HOWEVER

i went to jet set EFFORTLESSLY. i don't have a club card of any kind. the 2 security guys just let me in.

i like staying on the 2nd floor because it's nice to sit down, meet people, etc.. a girl called polina kept taking pictures of me last night. i'm NOT the most photogenic person ever -- and frankly, i look utterly shi-ite in photos... but she said it's alright and she probably took about 8 or 10 pictures of me....

after jet set, i went to CCCP/USSR. i also got in effortlessly, without any fuzz whatsoever.

same thing on saturday night.

i LOOOOOVE CCCP. it really is a good place... afterparty. it's dead empty at 3am.... i went there at 3am and there's like 6 people.. i went back to jet set, had a couple of drinks... then went to CCCP after 5am. then it's packed.

CCCP has LOTS of very nice people, straight guys and straight girls... i left CCCP at around 7:30am.

so yes...

it's funny how i can easily get into "elitny" places (Vogue cafe is my pre-going out place in moscow) but when it comes to crappy places, they always give me a hard time to get in........ like Metro in SPB or Zona in Moscow (they finally let me in after 3 days of trying... mind you it's not worth it. it's full of GHETTO TRASH people)....

Bryan, you stated earlier that you were worried about skinheads and possible violence against you. But in your posts in seems that you like to attract attention to yourself in a Juicy Couture F*** YOu way. Maybe it is me, when in foreign lands, I like to fly under the radar.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish by wearing Juicy Coiture bottoms?

Uday, are you admitting that actual know what Juicy Coiture bottoms are? Because I do not know. Because quite frankly Uday that it is just scary. Please tell us that YOU really do not know what this is.
I REALLY doubt that Stalin knew what Juicy Coiture was.

I can only assume it's something that bourgoisie fags wear... and a quick google search would confirm that.

Bryan is not Winston. First, Bryan has not been cheap and quite the opposite. Bryan went over to have a good time, not screw over people. Please show Bryan more respect than comparing him to Winston.

well

1) yes, i go to gay clubs, but i prefer straight/mixed/polysexual/omnisexual/whatever the de rigeur term of the moment clubs

2) do i dress gay? probably. LOL. it's strange that i did got hit on by a lot of girls in moscow... it's sooo weird.

3) am i gay? don't know. although my mom told me when i was 15 that when she gave birth to me, she did it in a toilet bowl and off i came out of her fanny, me holding a barbie doll on my right hand and a cigarette on the other.
