April 10, 2012  |  Episodes, gay san diego, News, theysaid  |  1 Comment

They’re baaaaack! And a little diff’rent. They Said returned to the fabulous Brass Rail studio for their brand of talk – where opinions matter & sexual orientation does not. Joining Alejandra, Ian, Amber & guest moderator Ophelia is the new straight guy on panel, Dustin Santillan, who hit the ground running without missing a beat. After recapping the month-long hiatus & Easter-Passover weekend debauchery, they dove in to headlines & topics including: Whitney Houston’s autopsy findings, gay ‘unfriendly’ travel destinations, the scandal surrounding the gay couple arrested aboard the Altantis Cruise docked in Dominica, Dinah Shore & White Party weekend, Miss Gay Mexico International competition, Hudson Taylor appearing at Martinis Above Fourth and the countdown to Dining Out For Life. The crew is glad to be back. Keep watching for some fun new segments & guest panelists in the weeks ahead.  Read More

Aaron & Ophelia wasted no time getting their gab on at Urban Mo’s this week. Producer Jay, Production Assistant Nicolas & La Lee were serving fierce behind-the-scenes realness, taking photos, prompting cues & trying desperately to keep Ophelia in check…but failing by most standards. We talked White Party weekend, Easter Sunday and Easter baskets for Family Matters, Car2Bar (Car2Go), the Lakeside Rodeo, eventful trips to Costco, favorite brands of toilet paper, San Diego Flag Football VIP Tent shenanigans and soooo much more. Big shout out to Eddie Rey & Rick Cervantes of the Mo’s family who stuck around to watch the HSSS.tv madness, in-person.  Read More

LIVE from The Brass Rail 4/3/12

Sans our scheduled guest who got stuck in L.A. for work, Ophelia & Aaron hit the Brass Rail studio for some vino and laughs. The Royalty Group‘s Jeffery Kurt Thompson was to appear to talk about the Desert Tea & Giving It pool party events this coming weekend in Palm Springs but, alas, was not able to make it. So, we gave the parties a ‘shout out’ and moved on to talk iPhones, Foursquare check-ins, exercise, Ophelia’s weight gain, bare chest contests & some other events around the gayborhood. We wrapped up by explaining some upcoming changes to the HSSS.tv family of broadcasts, including this very show. The format for “LIVE with…” will be changing, as Aaron steps away from co-hosing duties to focus on producing some new shows currently in the pipeline, including the debut of “Coffee Chat.” The new one-on-one interview show, hosted by Ophelia, is a rebirth of her popular column of the same name, formerly in the GLT. That show will debut in the next couple of weeks. As well, the anxiously awaited return of They Said comes next week with a few changes & surprises on panel. To top that off, we’re working on a new show hosted by the fabulous Courtney Ray that will be equal parts interview, topics, news, sports and all the sarcasm & sass you’ve grown to love from Miss C Ray! So, make sure you tune in to ‘watch what happens’ on HSSS.tv – it’s going to be one omazing year!  Read More

March 28, 2012  |  Episodes, gay san diego, News  |  No Comments

This week, Aaron & Ophelia welcomed another media maven to the Brass Rail studio hot seat in the form of one voluptuous, vivacious vixen, Barbarella Fokos. Blogger, columnist, entertainment & lifestyle reporter, TEDx presenter, sister, daughter & dominatrix extraordinaire, Diva Barbarella is quite the ‘around town’ gal with her fingers on the proverbial pulse of everything from concerts and festivals, to tech trends, to new restaurant openings & everything in between. Her primary column “Diary of a Diva” has appeared in the San Diego Reader every week since 2004, “Stepping Out with Barbarella” is a featured segment on NBC News in the Morning & she’s a regular entertainment contributor on KBPS and other radio stations in the city. Get to know this dynamic doll, from her early years growing up with a gay uncle & lesbian aunt, to finally deciding to tie the knot with her partner (she doesn’t like the “husband” word) and discovering what she truly loves about life in San Diego. She’s a real-life Sex & The City story, complete with thigh-high leather boots & feather boas!  Read More

Back at Urban Mo‘s after a little break last week, Aaron & Ophelia hit our Copa Bar studio to dish the happenings, events, news & gossip over a few cocktails which included a little fruit fest courtesy of Edible Arrangements. Aaron learned just how ‘handy’ Miss Ophelia is as she makes plans to dump Cox Communications for the the more affordable – and apparently superior to digital quality – HDTV antenna. After updates on a week of outings & events, Bachelor auctions, drinking excursions and “safer sex” PSAs, we got quite the San Diego LGBT history lesson courtesy of Ophelia (with help from Chris Shaw) who reminisced about the Hillcrest haunts of yesteryear. She should have her own section in the Lambda Archives. We wrapped up by talking about one big, fun foodie event coming up April 26, Dining Out For Life. With more than 100 participating restaurants, bars, coffee shops & retailers agreeing to donate a minimum of 25% of their sales that day to help support The Center‘s HIV/AIDS services, it’s important to grab friends, family, frenemies & fans and dine out for breakfast, lunch & dinner. From R Gang Eatery and Babbo’s Bar & Grill to Mo’s, Betty’s, Gossip Grill, Which Wich, The Mission + more they still need volunteers to help with the event. Go here to sign up as a Restaurant Host or Ambassador. As Todd Gloria said, “that day, calories don’t count.” Dine Out. Fight AIDS.  Read More
