TALLYWALKERS OPENS IN DALLAS: IS HOOTERS ON THE WAY OUT?

Leave a comment

imageDALLAS, Texas (The Adobo Chronicles) – The restaurant concept of female servers flaunting their your-know-what has definitely caught on quickly and has taken America by storm.  Hooters is now as famous and recognizable as McDonald’s and other food places, thanks to mostly male patrons who have made the restaurant chain their go-to place for dinner and cocktails when they are away from their families or girlfriends.

Enter Tallywackers — the first in what is expected to be a chain of restaurants featuring scantily-clad male servers. The first of its kind opened this week in Dallas, Texas.

Already, Hooters is reporting a significant decline in its patronage over the weekend.

Apparently, Tallywalkers is attracting a wide base of clients — from women and gay men to, yes, straight men.  Straight men are coming into Tallywakers in droves because they didn’t want their wives and girfriends to go to the restaurant without them.  The men are somewhat feeling insecure.

Can’t blame the men.  Tallywalkers is attracting women and gay men alike, thanks to the concept of handsome and ultra-fit men serving coctails, burgers, fries and other menu items in their tank tops and skimpy short shorts.

Hooters is reportedly calling a meeting of its restaurant managers and franchise owners to strategize on how to deal with the surprising popularity of Tallywalkers.

V-NECK T-SHIRTS A SIGN OF BEING GAY, ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION

Leave a comment

imageANAHEIM, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – At its annual national convention last year, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) officially classified the taking of ‘selfies’ as a mental disorder, calling it ‘selfitis,’ or the inflammation of the ego.

This week, APA is holding its 2015 convention at a famed Disneyland resort in Anaheim, and is expected to announce the results of a major study on homosexuality, particularly among gay men.

The Adobo Chronicles was able to get hold of an embargoed copy of the study scheduled to be released this Friday.

The groundbreaking study concludes that one of the telltale signs of being gay is owning and wearing v-neck t-shirts. V-neck t-shirts are the closest thing to low-cleavage shirts and dresses worn by women, the study pointed out.

Highlights of the APA findings include:

  • The lower the cut of the neckline, the more open and outgoing the gay man is.
  • White or black v-necks are usually worn by gay men who are mostly still in the closet.
  • Loud or bright-colored v-necks are an indication of gay radicalism.
  • Sleeveless v-neck, regardless of color, is a cautionary sign that the gay man has inner, deep secrets.

The APA study seems to give credence to recent guidelines issued by the Teachers Foundation of Malaysia advising parents on how to detect whether or not their son is gay, not the least of which is the wearing of v-necks.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Philippines is making history with the launch of the first Miss Gay Manila in the nation’s capital.

Having a gay beauty pageant is far from being a first. What makes Miss Gay Manila 2015 one for the record is that the pageant is sponsored by no less than the government. Now that would make Miss Universe Pageant owner Donald Trump nervous and threatened.

At today’s press presentation of the candidates, Manila Mayor (and former Philippines president) Joseph Estrada was on hand to give a kiss to each aspiring beauty queen.

The grand coronation will be held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) on May 20, 2015.

“The most energetic, witty, optimistic and confident candidate can get a chance to be crowned as the first ever winner of this prestigious pageant that promotes equality among all genders,” Estrada told reporters.

Estrada received a thunderous applause when he announced that the winner of this pageant will represent the City of Manila in the next Miss Philippines contest to choose the country’s representative to the 2016 Miss Universe Pageant.

Prizes at stake are P500,000 cash for the Grand Winner of Miss Gay Manila 2015, P200,000 for the First Runner-up and P100,000 for the Second Runner-up. The prize winnings will be exempted from local government taxes. However, they will be subject to national government tax by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), according to BIR Commissioner Kim Henares.
