Behind The Scene Video for Sir Ivan's 2014 Midnight Sun Party [Photos + Video]

In honor of Recording Artist and Philanthropist Sir Ivan's newly released single, "Here Comes The Sun," which just entered the Billboard Breakout Chart at #4, guests were invited to join him at his legendary Hamptons Castle, a sprawling villa complete with a moat, bridges and a spectacular poolside area.



Upon entering the event, guests were treated to sun-inspired decor and delights, a Upon entering the event, partygoers were welcomed by giant sunflowers, leading them through the Castle grounds and into the party zone, where an impressively giant mirrored disco ball brightly shone above  an infinity pool with state-of-the-art lighting effects, giving revelers the sense of dancing into the night under a blazing Midnight Sun. 
 


Everyone was dressed according to the mandatory party theme in the colors of the sun: bright yellow, red and orange. The guests were not only treated to sun-inspired décor,  but also delights - a spectacular array of food to dine upon, with sun-inspired ingredients- from sunny-side-up eggs to sun-dried tomatoes, chicken crusted with sunflower seeds and specialty Midnight Sun cocktails, provided by Slovenia Vodka and Passion XO liqueur, which flowed by the dance floor. 
At the height of the evening, a yellow-caped Sir Ivan  entered the party fashionably late and wowed  the crowd with the debut of his "Peacemobile" -- a stretch limo wrapped in hippy icons, with 60’s style psychedelic graphics spelling out PEACE, and displaying the 60’s anthem "Make Love Not War" on both the limousine’s hood and trunk. He stepped out of the Peacemobile together with his two favorite costumed companions, Peacebunny, decorated in an exotic outfit of gold and yellow peacock feathers,  and, wearing a tiny yellow Peacecape, the Peace Puppy Bambi, his pet Chihahua. Sir Ivan then serenaded his guests with a performance of his new hit single, “Here Comes The Sun.” Fans lined up all night to take photos with the one of a kind set of wheels. Not since John Lennon did something similar with his Rolls Royce in the '60s, has anyone seen anything like it.  
Sir Ivan then announced to the crowd he is launching a nationwide anti - bullying campaign and taking the "Peacemobile" on a cross-country mission. He further stated that the road trip will end in LA where he will film the music video for "Kiss All The Bullies Goodbye," the anti - bullying anthem he co – wrote with FORD and Sin Morera. Produced by legendary DJ Paul Oakenfold, and featuring female vocals by pop star Taylor Dayne, the music video will be directed by MTV video award winner Erik White. Royalties from the various remixes of "Kiss All The Bullies Goodbye" are being donated to various LGBT anti-bullying organizations including The Trevor Project, where Sir Ivan has already pledged over 100,000 thousand dollars in support.
As the party went on, guests jumped in the infinity pool, lounging on giant sunflowers floats. Guests stayed hydrated with Jana Water while the dancing spread into the castle and continued late into the night.

Queer Life in Germany - Learn German from a German Teacher and Native Speaker

In the news recently were a series of articles about how an increasing number of Americans are traveling to Germany for their education, as German universities offer free education to both their citizens and foreign students alike.  That's just the cherry on top when it comes to LGBT visitors to Germany, who have been coming year after year to enjoy all that Germany has to offer the LGBT traveler.  With Germany's progressive acceptance of gay & lesbian life, ranging from its varied nightlife in Berlin to its same-sex domestic partnership laws, it's no wonder it ranks as one of the top European destinations gays & lesbians travel to year after year (source: Community Marketing & Insights, 20th LGBT Tourism & Hospitality Survey) . While someone speaking English in Germany can get by in most places, having at least a foundation in basic German will open up a whole host of life experiences and opportunities simply not available to those not understanding

Budapest Trip - Feb 9-12 2009

My trip to Budapest, although short, has been incredible as it's the first time I've been this far east in Europe.  Budapest, one of the true capitals of Europe, is a fascinating reflection of history and the blends of culture that have crossed this land both over the past few millennia and in recent history. As part of a country which is now part of the European Union and set to adopt the euro shortly, Budapest is an incredible symbol of east meets west, in this case European east meets west, with recent history thrown into the mix.  Having emerged from Communism in 1989, the buildings have only slowly been restored to their original grandeur, with some edifices reflecting their original lustor while others are still black from decades of soot and pollution, with others still displaying facades that have continuously decayed over the years and have yet to be touched. That comparison can also be seen in the attitudes of the people here.  With English being spoken more prevalent
