Hey, remember when we got all excited to “sponsor”/flood the voting of this year’s Mr. Gay contest with Philebrity readers? Well, guess what? So far, only one of you has ponied up. But before we get to him, we have, um, a bone to pick with you people. We know you gays are out there reading us. Brian, Robert, Cheesesteak the Impaler, Sweet Johnny, Chinese Roulette (yes that’s HIS NAME, okayyy?), Ryan… we could go on. And yet NONE of you thus far have manned up to be our candidate for Mr. Gay Philadelphia. So we ask you: Where is the pride? Don’t any of you have that pageant queen genome deep down, under that Magnetic Fields t-shirt? We beg of you to reconsider and come with us on this lark. In the meantime, meet Anthony (pictured at right, stop drooling). Anthony is a Puerto Rican gym manager who has good taste in music (Daft Punk, Pet Shop Boys, Gorillaz, Royskopp, TelepopMusik) and has the MySpace page of a 14-year-old girl. So far, so good, right? And what about, you know, that Philebrity attitude? We think we can dig it:

Rough around the edges, and a razor sharp tongue. As I always say “You may not like me…and that’s ok.” If you can get over that, I’m a great guy. I look out for the people who look out for me. I am harsh at times, really cold with no regard to someone elses feelings (honesty). I’m only serious when I need to be, and when I am…it’s not gonna be Good. You just can’t be too sensitive, or too serious.

Ant, we are totally picking up what you’re putting down. You’re like that Conrad guy, except you spell and (thank God) you are actually gay! One problem: You’re also a Daily News Sexy Single! Crap! We’re going to have to go the judges’ booth on this one. In the meantime, Philebrity Gays, time is running out. Give us some options, eh?
