How did it become Friday so quickly? Weekend plans for thebrotherlove include tonight’s Tops To Bottom party at Club Inclusivity in celebration of author Michael-Christopher’s From Top To Bottom book signing.

"Basically, [Noah’s Arc] is geared towards the four [main characters] … and some people may not be able to relate because they don’t feel like any of this set that we’ve brought together matches what they think it should be. What we’re doing is showing a friendship between these four friends and what we bring to the table as individuals within our group."
