Not Broadway’s Mark MacKillop is a good friend of this column and of Billy Masters LIVE.  As you know, he’s a tireless fundraiser for our community, and has been the highest fundraiser at Broadway Bares for eight consecutive years.  He’s the hoofer with a heart of gold.  On October 13^th, he’s marking his birthday by putting on a show at the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theatre in NYC.  Proceeds will go to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.  If seeing Mark in his birthday suit (and me in the audience) appeals to you, grab some tickets at OvationTix.com.

In a very brief Ask Billy question, Lenny in Pittsburgh, PA writes, “Who gave Lukas Gage an STD?  He recently told a reporter he got it from an ex.  Was it his ex-husband?”

First, let’s me correct you – he didn’t catch an STD.  He caught TWO STDs from a former partner.  This either means that he’s terribly unlucky, or there is some fault in his screening process for potential paramours.  He didn’t reveal who gave him the STDs or, for that matter, what they were.  But he says it’s not his fault.  “It wasn’t that I was in an opposition to having a non-monogamous relationship, it was just not talked about.”  Whose fault would that be?  Does anyone have a mirror?  If you don’t discuss it, don’t assume it.  I’m sure more delightful anecdotes like this will pop up in the 30-year-old’s memoir, I Wrote This For Attention, which comes out on October 14^th.

When Lukas at least came up with the perfect title for his autobiography, we’ve definitely come to the end of yet another column.  Talk about truth in advertising.  Sure, Gage will say it’s all tongue in cheek – but I think we can all agree he should be a bit more discriminatory with which cheeks he puts his tongue!  For more visual aids, check out www.BillyMasters.com – the site site ain’t shy.  If you want me to look into something, dash a note off to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before I invite anyone over for some “lemonade”.  So, until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.
