God, I'm Fabulous!

As the world awaits the September release of my next collection (see image above), let's take a self-indulgent and totally whory trip back to my last one, La Dolce Musto, and revel in the praise that was fulminated my way by a variety of media outlets, all properly adoring and slobbering.

I do this not to brag, but to ... um ... um ... well, yeah it's to brag.

So kindly allow me to jerk off in public by belching up my four-year-old press clippings.

Here goes:

"Rapier wit ... He is masterful at cutting through thickets of hype to get at something true." --Chicago Tribune

"The crown prince of gossip at NYC alternative weekly The Village Voice ... Outrageously flamboyant columns." --Star magazine

"If you've never read his weekly column, you've missed a taste of New York that you won't find anywhere else. ... Critic, fan, philosopher, tattle tale." --New York Social Diary

"The most flamboyant of all New York gossipers" --Page Six

"The most out there society column of our time ... the bard of brutal truths" --Paper magazine

"A groundbreaker ... a vertitable institution" --afterelton.com

"The Village Voice's combination of Hedda Hopper and a crystal ball -- delighting us all, pissing some people off, and keeping everybody guessing." --Metrosource magazine

"Whatever the topic, Musto will have you laughing out loud. Buy it, buy it for friends, and read the best pop culture commentator writing today." --Metrosource magazine

"The city's most punny, raunchy, and self referential gossip columnist" --The New York Times

"Out, proud, and flamboyantly gay ... full of adulation, cattiness, and sexual innuendo ... Musto's witty ridicule is pithy." --Publishers Weekly

"The most fabulous columnist in North America" --The Hour

"The reigning champion of gossip columnists since 1984. Hilarious ... our generation's Oscar Wilde." --Fab magazine

"Wicked and witty ... Musto sees through the hypocrisy and chicanery of Hollywood and celebrates it nonetheless. La Dolce Musto is a musto reado for the celebrity obsessed." --Philadelphia City Paper

"A downtown deity ... deliriously cunning columns" --Next magazine

"Fearless ... outrageously candid" --Buzz magazine

"Groundbreaking columnist" --Louisville Courier-Journal

"A gay-household name. Musto is a pioneer in modern free speech and a hero to all LGBT writers." --Pink magazine

"Musto is a singular prose stylist who's been honing his deceivingly ditsy voice to a sharp edge in 23 years of writing for The Village Voice. ... This book is first class funny and first class fierce." --Passport magazine

"Hilarious and sardonic" --Windy City Times

That's it! I just orgasmed!

Well, the reviews are for my third book, "La Dolce Musto: Writings By TThe World's Most Outrageous Columnist."

Coming up is my fourth book, "Fork on the Left, Knife in the Back."

Oops. I thought your third book was your first. Loved it. Read it on vacation somewhere. Going to Amazon now.

jonster

Wait, let me get this "gay." These reviews are for your first book? What the hell is going on here? Yes darling, you are fabulous. You are. You really are.

Pat Bradley

Can't wait to read it!

Susan A,

Was very proud when ur commercial flashed in the cab when i was with my visiting folks! Anyway, egg-cited about the new book!!

Re: Jacket design, I'm troubled by the graphic omission of a FORK (fork on the left) and with the odd inclusion of the SERRATED KNIFE, unless there's aggressive sawing implied and in the final chapter I would guess. Top marks for sticking with the pin-striped suit and NOT with any of your countless satiny neon puffy blunders.

Phillip McKrevis

Please tell me there is going to be a book signing event!

Musto

Oh, yes, many!

Savannah Montgomery

..and the Sarah Siddons Award goes to..

Rabbit

Well-deserved accolades!

Movielover

May you jerk off in public more often.

Southern Dave

And they forgot to mention your modesty!

JEWISHPRINCESS0

I adore you. You make my day everyday.

Troofire

The weekend before the Tony's and you can't come up with something better than this?

Gregorama

Why do you continue to post insulting comments to your host? Do you stay at peoples' houses and shit on their couch? Learn some manners...this is his sandbox and he can write what he wishes. Not to mention, you're ill-informed....

Musto

Yesterday I posted my votes and comments on tons of Tony categories. Shut the fuck up.

Ving

Musto, no one has written more about Broadway and the Tonys than you. No need to explain yourself to cretins like Troofire. Congrats on the new book.

Musto

Thanks, Natali. It's going to be a fun ride.

Natali

Love the title, cover, everything! I'm sure your last book was great and very deserving of all the praise. I'm sure this next one will get plenty as well! :)
