Missing: Marylyle Rogers

Marylyle Rogers was born on September 12,1950, Wenatchee, Washington. When Rogers was six years old, her teacher told another adult that Rogers was "an idiot". This remark was due to the fact that Rogers was dyslexic. Because of the comment the teacher made, Rogers pushed to excel and be a success. Rogers learned to read with the help of her mother and another teacher. Rogers graduated from the prestigious Milo Academy in 1968. In 1973 she graduated from Walla Walla College. Rogers is presently working at Owens-Corning Fiberglass in Boise, Idaho.

The main point that separates her from the other authors is her sex scenes. True, every romance book has a couple of them, but that is how Rogers is different. Hers are very modest. Rogers' books deal more with the description of the scenery rather than the passion of two characters. Roger uses her knowledge of history to write her books, which is mainly why her books are mostly about the enchanting scenery. Many of Rogers's books are set in the hills of Scotland.

Rogers fought the powers that be to get Fabio off the covers of her books. He had already been on six of her covers, and she was getting tired of his popularity. She made the comment about Fabio, "He's such a dweeb". Rogers threatened to quit if they didn't find a replacement for Fabio.

Lanford Wilson & Max Rhyser: Burn This

My man candy Max Rhyser is a very prolific guy. Modelling, acting, loving :-)



Anyway, if you live in New York and want to see Max on live and not only on line (shame that I can't) he plays Larry, the gayer than gay roommate! in Lanford Wilson's play, Burn This.

Amazing play, come laugh... come cry...

"This isn't opera, this is life. Why should love always be tragic? Burn this."

"Oh Lordy!"

Burn This opened in Los Angeles, California, on January 22,1987. Wilson's play is a contemporary romantic drama, but it is not a happy romance, and even the resolution cannot be described as entirely happy. The two romantic leads, Anna and Pale, do not find love easy, and it is not easy for the audience to witness. Early reviews of the play were mixed. Although reviewers commended Joan Allen and John Malkovich' s performances, some critics questioned the credibility of an attraction between Anna and Pale. Nevertheless, the play has been generally well-received because the characters are interesting, particularly Larry, Anna's homosexual roommate, who is funny and endearing. In a 1986 interview with David Savron, Wilson explained that Burn This is a love story different from any other love story because the characters do not say, “I love you"; they say, "I don't want this." This conflict, argued Wilson, makes the love story contemporary. Wilson spent time studying modern dance so that he could incorporate the atmosphere and style into his character of Anna. Burn This is Wilson's thirty-eighth play, and he was willing to wait for nearly a year to put it on stage because he wanted John Malkovich to play Pale. He has stated that with this play he wanted to recapture the convoluted plotting of his earliest plays. Wilson relies upon dialogue to reveal the plot, and thus, the audience must pay close attention in order to follow the action. Burn This was not as commercially or critically successful as were Wilson's Talley's Folly or Hot Baltimore, but it has been widely discussed as a depiction of a contemporary love story.

Women who like to watch gay porn

Interesting article by Lisa Scott on Metro.co.uk even if I don't agree with her in this claim

"Watching and reading gay male porn also allows women to explore unchartered territory. When women are faced with a male and female romance or sex scene, they naturally associate with the female. When it's men-only, you can be whatever you fancy - submissive or dominant."

I have my theory, an evolution of Laura Kinsale's theory on why women read romance; Kinsale said that when a woman read a romance she identifies herself in the hero, not in the heroine, and this is the reason why some female authors have so strong male characters. So, for me, I read M/M romance since I have the chance to identify me in TWO characters and not only one; in other words, no one of the main characters in the book has a lesser role, they are both protagonist.
