Gay PDAs :: Not Ready for Prime Time
By Scott Stiffler | Feb 8
Americans chowed down and watched the Super Bowl yesterday. For many it wasn’t the game they were as interested as the commercials that punctuated it. From the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales to a controversial pro-life spot, these ads will not doubt generate a lot of water cooler conversation. One that huge television audience didn’t see was for ManCrunch.com, a male dating service, due to the fact it showed two men kissing. CBS didn’t consider it rose to the standard the network established for general consumption. EDGE’s Scott Stiffler looks at why the sight of two men in intimate contact remains not ready for prime time.

The Black and White Ball :: December 31, 2009
Jan 2
It was forty-three years ago that the crème de la crème of New York society turned out for the legendary Black and White Ball thrown by Truman Capote at the Plaza Hotel, a party that became known as "the party of the century." Well, guess what-we’re in a new century now, and the New Year’s Eve Black and White Ball at the Chelsea Art Museum, produced by Josh Wood, Tony Fornabaio and Brandon Voss, the powerhouse triumvirate behind the recent resurgence of New York nightlife, proved that there’s a whole new pack of sexy A-listers who know how to carouse with as much panache and élan as anyone on Truman’s guest list.

L’Universelle GMC :: The 2010 GMC Terrain
By Casey Williams | Jan 11
In 1955, GMC created a front-drive "mini-van" it named L’Universelle for its supposed ability to carry and do almost anything. Designed as a combination of the GMC Suburban Carry-All and VW Bus, L’Universelle was a forward-thinking display of style that could have beat Chrysler to the party by 30 years. Power came from a 180-HP Pontiac V8, placed behind the driver to improve handling. Like so many cool concepts, GMC never produced the van and it passed on to automotive heaven after the Motorama season. Its spiritual successor arrives as the 2010 GMC Terrain.
