And turning fantasy into reality, they find, is the best way to do it.

    Clothes make the man, so what follows is a journey into the closet of my love life. Excerpt: Se7en was an underground club and the party was well underway by the time we got there. We grabbed each others' hands and went down the steamy, dark rabbit hole together. "Cover is twenty dollars," the goth door attendant barked at us. "Tonight's our special anniversary," he added, a crooked smile curling on his blackened lips. "Seven years at this location." We briefly discussed going somewhere else, but we bit the bullet, paid, got our hands stamped, and crossed into the unknown. The thick, inky satin curtain dividing coat check from the rest of the club may as well have been a wormhole into another universe. We froze before taking three steps inside and surveyed the landscape: black leather harnesses, vinyl clothing, glow sticks, back hair, chains, and gas masks paraded before us under a shifting net of green laser lights that zapped through a fog of dry ice and perspiration. "Oh!" Evan exclaimed, clasping his hands together like a kid on Christmas morning. "This is going to be soooo much fun!" He bounced into the room and introduced himself to a rather hirsute man in ass-less chaps. The remaining three of us huddled together, looking at each other with our mouths agape. Evan and I stuck together for pretty much the entire night and he eventually poured enough liquor down my throat to get me dancing to the hellish trance music. By midnight, hunky Kevin was wearing a dog collar and getting led around by an enormous muscular man, and he seemed to be enjoying it. Andy had his face covered with neon war paint and was chatting with a svelte young man whose nipples were pierced and chained together. Another chain ran down his torso and disappeared behind the waist of his black leather pants where I imagine it was attached to something else. Evan left my side once to go to the washroom. By that time we had already shared many kisses, but when he got back he seemed a little too energized. Whatever he had downed in the washroom shattered what was left of his inhibitions. It was all I could do to keep him out of my pants while we were on the dance floor. And don't misunderstand. The attraction was by no means one-way. Evan was one hot little number. Last call came and went. Andy had already left on the arm of an exotic-looking creature with a green mohawk. Kevin had lost his "owner" but retained his collar and a phone number. The three of us split a cab back to campus. Evan was all over me in the back seat and I can't say I was doing much to stop him. "Geez, get a room, you two," said Kevin. "That's the plaaaaaaan," said Evan, taking a break from tonguing my ear. "Besides," he said, sliding his hand under my shirt. "You don't know where my dorm is. And, right now, neither do I." Then he laughed like he had just cracked the funniest joke ever.

    When on stage, he praises the Lord, as would a good Christian, while young women clamor for his attention, but behind the heavy gates that guard his home, he is a man with more than one secret. David is a Jew, not a Christian, and no woman will ever hold his heart. The one he hurries home to is Nathan, the quiet man who turned his life around. As his fame escalates, a secret from his past threatens everything he would willingly die to protect. *** “And the Grammy goes to…” A hush fell over the crowd at that moment and David sat in the front row with his eyes closed. Let it be me, he repeated to himself several times. Then it happened. “Son Phoenix!” The audience went wild as the band made its way to the stage to accept the award for rock album of the year. When David lifted the statue high above his head, the audience roared. They had all been contenders, but David was the best. He was the lead singer, the member of the band that made young women faint, but David Wassenstein was known as Blade to them. He crossed himself and thanked the Lord for the honor, as was expected of a good Christian. Nathan Gelman sat in the very back row and watched the hypocrisy. David, or Blade, clutched his chest as if he were touching a cross that hung from his neck, but Nathan knew the truth. The Star of David dangled from Blade’s neck. Nathan had given it to him six months ago on their two year anniversary. David said that Jewish men didn’t become rock stars, but that was exactly what David was…a rock star…and a Jew. David didn’t look at Nathan when he accepted the award. He didn’t dare. He didn’t care all that much if his fans thought or knew he was gay. Men and women pushed through the crowds to look at him, to touch him, to hear him speak a few words only to them. David didn’t look at Nathan because he knew what he would see in the eyes of his lover. He would see disappointment, betrayal, and hurt because he had denounced his faith, at least in public. When the two of them were together in their home, locked behind heavy gated walls, David was as true to the Jewish faith as Nathan. David didn’t notice when Nathan quietly exited the theatre, but he had expected him to leave as soon as the winner was announced. Nathan drove through the gate that closed behind him and turned on the lights inside the mansion they shared. He lit a fire in the fireplace and waited for the sound of the black limousine that would bring Blade home to him again. His fingertips lightly outlined the matching Star of David that clung to his chest as he thought about the separate lives they led.

Denton, you know the cleaning service only comes in once a week, and they don’t seem to be doing a very good job.
