But you must know, user of Sticky Rice Gay Guide Asia and Gay Guide World, the Mia Noi does not call your heroine any longer, conveying the so tempting and reassuring message: “I am so horny, please come over to see me at once!” Since November that sexy Mia Noi has a so called partner, a Russian of all nations! He stays with that handsome gay Thai guy and Suzy is no longer allowed to visit her fine young man of 32 years of age any longer at his quarters! This is not only a pity because of the ample and convenient parking, right in front of the building, Miss Size now has to call herself, instead of being called! Read more

Singapore’s Hong Lim Park in China Town was on that hot and steamy Saturday afternoon on June 18 a sea of pink. Pink T-Shirts, pink shoes, pink balloons, some outrageous gay queens even pinked up their pet dogs.
The official event lasted only one hour. Everything is very organised and scheduled in Singapore. And yet, there was a dash of a hilarious anarchy to it, which only can be found at gay events. Many people showed up hours before the launch of Pink Dot seizing the opportunity for a picnic with delicious food, bubbling French champagne, good friends and the determination to make a statement: look, dear fellow Singaporeans, we are here, we are queer, we do not hide anymore, we are proud of what we are.

Would it not be wonderful to have a generic Top Level Domain .gay? The answer to that question is a clear and loud YES - if you ask Scott Seitz of SPI Marketing. Top Level Domain is not a newly discovered variety of tops like a gay super top stud or a gay top with extremely refined sexual skills. It is rather the part behind the dot of an internet address, like the .ws in the ever so popular global gay guide Sticky Rice (ws stands for: web site). Read more

In August Suzy Size got a mail from a renowned publishing house in Singapore, Marshall Cavendish. They had read some of her travel blogs on Sticky Rice Gay Guide Asia and Gay Guide World and asked the old girl, if she might be interested in a book?

But than she graciously agreed, that I, Hans Fritschi, her secretary, amanuensis or slave, should send them a very short reply. Read more
