I'm ready for my close-up, Monsieur De Mille

File this one under "who woulda thunk it?" folks:

My blog and I were mentioned in the April 2011 issue of France's "premiere magazine for gays and lesbians," Têtu!

Here's the blurb (sorry it's a bit blurry):


In case you don't understand French, here's the text of the article translated into English (courtesy of my Francophonic ex-boyfriend):

"Bryan Ochalla is an American gay journalist who says he is frustrated to not be able to write about video games. He has already created a blog and group on Facebook to share his passion. With a flashy pink background, the blog is mainly dedicated to gay-friendly video games, retro-gaming and sexy heroes. Bryan even offers a 'gaymathon' to rank his favorite games. A must for all gaymers."

Oh, and "le coin du gaymer" is French for "the corner of the gaymer."

You're famouuuus (and not just internet famous). Watch out Bryan, all those hot French guys will be after you now!

Bryan Ochalla said...

Ha ha! Very funny, Marcus :) Those French guys better watch out, though, because I don't think my husband wants to share me (nor do I want to be shared)!

Hey that really is cool! Congrats!

Bryan Ochalla said...

Thanks, Sean! I was pretty shocked when I found out about it (through the French journalism student who recently contacted me about an article he's working on). At first, I thought it was a mistake, but then I saw the scan :)

HOW FUCKING COOL! That's amazing. You should be proud!

Bryan Ochalla said...

Thanks, Justin! Oh, I am proud -- or at least happy. Granted, the writer could have just Googled "gay gamer" or "gay gaming" and came across my blog, but who cares? I'll take it :)

Like LArry Flint said, "Any publicity is good publicity."

Bryan Ochalla said...

Yes, definitely :)
