The laughs go off the scale when Stewart discovers the dark side of ChatRoulette.

SF Chronicle Article On IBR And Bears
Written by NetBear on February 19, 2010 – 11:57 am -Who are these big furry guys that took over San Francisco last weekend? IBR and the bears got some great press coverage in the SF Chronicle today.
Bill Coulter (from left), JJ Beck and Tony Huerta co-own the well-known bear bar Lone Star Saloon in San Francisco.
“The occasion was the 16th annual International Bear Rendezvous, a five-day convention for self-identified bears, typically denim-, leather- or flannel-clad gay men with meat on their bones and hair on their faces and pretty much everywhere else.”
A very interesting article on IBR and the bears at SFGate. Give it a read.

Undercover Exbeariment Looks At Bear Culture
Written by NetBear on February 16, 2010 – 10:49 am -People love to categorize everything in their lives. And gay men, if anything, like to do it even more than straight folks. So when it comes to who’s who in the bear community, it’s no surprise to discover that we’ve got quite a list of categories for everyone. Who hasn’t been asked what kind of bear they are.
Writer Josh Rotter decided to do a little “exbeariment” and go undercover as a Grizzly Man to hunt for bears in San Francisco. He would discover for himself what the bear culture is all about.
I quickly discovered that a Bear was more of a look than a personality; the appeal was a masculinity thing - stomachs could be soft, but chests had to be hard - and it was nice to have hair to rub up against.
We’re not sure just how deep Rotter went with his research, but the article is well-written and wasn’t just a casual glance. A look from an outsider helps us to look at ourselves as a community. You have to at least check out the Field Guide reference chart that attempts to illustrate how we like to categorize.

Dragulator Puts You In RuPaul’s Drag Race
Written by NetBear on January 26, 2010 – 5:24 am -Gentlemen, start your Dragulator. OK, I know that the thought of doing drag will create howls of scorn from many a bear man out there. It’s jut not something a masculine guy does. Well, that doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun. And with the Dragulator from RuPaul’s Drag Race you can do it without all that messy make-up, glitter and feathers getting all over the place.
Like Elf Yourself and many of the other online web applications, in Dragulator you upload a face photo of yourself, or better yet, of your victim. They’re gonna get all done-up, RuPaul Dragulator style. So make sure it’s a provocative face shot.
Next you have to get artistic, adding make-up, bling, costumes and ultimately accessorizing your creation. The resulting Dragulated image can get shared on Twitter for a chance to win a RuPaul’s Drag Race viewing party kit. Or you can share it on Facebook for all your friends to see. Just remember, they might return the favor.

Uncommon Protection
Last year the bounds of what is and is not an accessory for men got stretched a little as an ever-increasing number of us picked up and started carrying around various devices, gadgets and items of convenience. The way I see it is if you have something like a Flip video camera, mobile phone or e-reader on your person for part or all of your day, this thing, by default, is an accessory. As the market for accessories of this type grows, the market for accessories for your accessories grows, too.
