heaven knows, anything goes.

I had my overnight with the “famous” guy last night.  In his case, famous means: well known in his circles, and maybe you’ve seen him once or twice in a magazine or on TV.  In the interests of keeping his identity anonymous, there are some things I would like to say in this entry that I’m going to have to leave out.  He’s an esteemed (according to one description of him that google brought up) antique collector/dealer, or at least enough so that if I mentioned certain pieces/collections he had, someone in the antique world might figure out who he is.  I realize my blog isn’t really at the level yet that he would have to worry, but who knows, maybe it will take off overnight and I’ll suddenly be outing my johns.  I’ll save that for my multi-million dollar, Heidi Fleiss book deal.  Until then, he’ll just be known as “antique man.” We talked a lot on the phone beforehand.  He was very talkative (on the phone and in person), which I liked.  After setting up our meeting and then confirming a couple times via text and phone, I arrived around 8pm.  He met me at the door with a beautiful bulldog, who seemed very friendly.  He was probably in his 50s (the man, not the dog), but wasn’t terribly out of shape or bad looking.  Just looked his age.  He led me into his apartment, which was beautiful, although a little cluttered, which seems to be the antique collector’s way.  His fireplace was going, which was very nice.  I later learned that the building used to be owned by a famous couple…  who I shouldn’t mention.  I truly wish I could be more specific, but just know, the apartment and the things he had in it were simply beautiful. We made small talk as he grabbed a bottle of Prosecco and poured us both a glass.  He told me that I looked different from my pictures, which I’ve been told before.  I need to go through all my picture options with my roommate sometime.  Although nobody has been disappointed (they say I’m better in person) I don’t want to misrepresent myself.  He said I looked a little more…  mature?  I also am a little scruffier than my pics make me out to be. As he came back from the kitchen he grabbed me and went for the mouth.  We made out for a minute, then headed over to the sofa where we lounged, chatted, listened to some music, and fended off his dog, who was pretty nippy.  I think he was jealous of the attention that I was getting that was usually his.  We listened to a lot of music…  jazz mostly.  We had talked on the phone about some hard to find CDs he had gotten that he was excited to play for me
