Happy Valentine's Day

This is my first Valentine's Day as a NOLA blogger, so I've decided to provide our readers with some interesting options for today's celebrations.

First up, a radio station in West Virgina is offering listeners a chance to win a free DIVORCE for Valentine's Day. This is the perfect gift for anyone who's sleeping with a married man or woman, or for the NOLA hardcore Catholic who just can't bring themself to divorce a poorly-chosen spouse. ALTR has signed Wendy Vitter up for the contest. [h/t CNN]

Secondly, ALTR has just learned this morning that Anderson Cooper will be getting his 360° on in New Orleans tonight. Anderson Cooper? More like Anderson SUPER! (Thanks for asking!) Anyway, he'll be here, so all you adoring girls-with-no-gaydar (like Renee Zellweger) and admiring young studs should flock to wherever he is. Personally, ALTR doesn't have a date tonight - so if anyone out there knows AC's whereabouts, please send them to us. I'd be down for attempting a photo op with the guy.

Finally, I've come across the perfect Valentine's Day e-cards for the Republican lover on your list. From gopvalentine.com:




These are just a few samples of what they have to offer. Don't worry ALTL, I'll be flooding your work email inbox with these all day!

Walk like a 'mo

It doesn't take much for a single female living in New Orleans to get frustrated with the inordinate amount of terribly good-looking gay men that inhabit the city. Fortunately, ALTR has a very sensitive & accurate gaydar.

But there is hope for those of you out there who aren't 3rd generation fag hags like me. The findings of a new study suggest that you can take the guess-work out of scoping out that hottie you see at the grocery store, the park, or whatever place you may go that is frequented by male members of both teams. Basically, if he walks like he's strolling up St. Ann Street, you might want to reconsider. [MSNBC]
