What are you looking for in a mate? Someone who really understands what it means to be both an organ and a blade. Someone who lives in a constant state of gratitude and refuses to let past hurt impede on our future together.
Biggest turn-off: Judgmental, superficial and dishonest men.
Biggest turn-on: Vulnerability. LAWD! Men who allow themselves to be vulnerable; to share with me a part of them that most have not seen is the sexiest thing a man can do for me. I want more men with flowers falling from their skin and more water in their eyes.
Hobbies: I love museums, traveling, writing poetry, reading, the theater, art galleries and doing absolutely nothing. On weekends, I live by the rule that Saturdays are for adventures and Sundays are for cuddles.
Describe your ideal first date: My ideal first date would be a date to see a show at the Kennedy Center. Afterward, we’d head over to the Mighty Pint to have a few beers and talk until there are no more words left to be said. I believe that all first dates should be dutch with no expectations.
Favorite TV show: Of all time: “Martin”; currently: “Blackish.”
Celebrity crush: Tinie Tempah
One obscure fact about yourself: I’m a recovering undercover over-lover.

This John Waters interview has been edited for readability — but perhaps not human decency
Pope of Trash dishes on Trump, plane etiquette, last meal, and more
By WESLEY CASE | At 80 years old, John Waters is still the ideal dinner guest — incisively sharp, quick-witted and funny as hell.
The chic Baltimore native proved it again and again in a recent Zoom interview, calling from his summer home in Provincetown, Mass.
The occasion was the Blu-ray releases of two of his movies — the 1977 dark comedy “Desperate Living” and his enduring 1988 musical “Hairspray” — on June 23 by the Criterion Collection, which publishes restorations of films it deems culturally important. The Criterion stamp of approval has become the gold standard among cinephiles.
“It’s like getting an award,” said Waters, who wrote and directed both films.
The rest of this article can be read on the Baltimore Banner’s website.
