Mr. Mickey saw tons of adorable kids in India and here's a little photo essay highlighting some of them, including a toddler with a jacket on top and no pants on the bottom. Quite an unusual silhouette!

The European royal cuties really came out in droves for the wedding of Marie-Christine of Habsburg and Count Rodolphe de Limburg-Stirum. Marie-Christine's mother is Astrid of Luxembourg and her father is Carl-Christian of Austria. The entire next generation of Luxemburgers came -- Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, Princess Alexandra, Prince Louis and his wife Tessy, Prince Sebastian and Prince Felix. Cutie Prince Felix is also shown with his cousin Princess Maria Annunicata of Liechtenstein (daughter of Margarethe of Luxembourg). They make a fun couple!
Princess Astrid of Belgium (who, like Astrid of Luxembourg, is married to a Habsburg) is pictured with her daugther Maria-Laura of Habsburg. Maria-Laura is the younger sister of perhaps the hottest Prince around Amedeo of Habsburg. Brother of the groom Phillipe de Limburg-Stirum escorts his relative Helene de France.
Wenzeclas of Liechtenstein (who was once romantically linked to Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima) escorts his wildly chapeux-ed mother Princess Isabelle. Oh the cuteness knows no end.

No, Harry Prince of Wales is not hanging out at gay leather bars (as far as we know). He's attending a charity event at ICAP Charity Day. ICAP is some kind of brokerage house and their charity day supports 100 charities including Sentebale which has Prince Harry as its patron.

One of Mr. Mickey's favorite charities, Unicef, is doing a special fundraising campaign with Kimberly Clark, the Kleenex people. Any donations you make before December 31st will be matched by Kimberly Clark. So you can wipe your nose and make a difference for kids around the world! Give till it hurts kids!!!

One of Mr. Mickey's favorite dreamboats of all male porn, Chris Rockway, is a cover boy for the January issue of Exercise for Men Only. PAPERMAG's resident shutterbug/horndog JD Ferguson shot Chris last year.

Blogaholics, please excuse Mr. Mickey's prolonged silence, but MM was in gorgeous India for a few weeks of glamorous vacation. Okay, so the Mumbai terrorist thing wasn't so glamorous, but Mr. Mickey was in the North and not in his beloved Bombay! MM does hope to go back to Mumbai in April to show support for the city -- India needs our love! Anyhoo, here are some shots by MM's friend Nicola Blaha of MM in engaged in various hijinks on the subcontinent. Ever the animal lover Mr. Mickey was petting the cow when it started getting wild with the horns, so MM beat a hasty retreat. Please don't tell the customs department that MM was fondling livestock as they frown upon that kind of activity. MM's favorite is the shot of yours truly and Nicola playing elephant polo outside Jaipur (Nicola's mom Claudia took that shot). If you look closely you can even see the ball in the air!! Another shot features Mr. Mickey at his first ever yoga class at the Rambagh Palace -- yes first yoga EVER. MM thought if you're in India you can't NOT try yoga. Also MM is wearing a bindi at the gorgeous Lake Palace in Udaipur with MM's Dad Dave and Tarrytown's own Miss Cindy Beesmer. The little girls are on a field trip to a Hare Krishna temple in Delhi. MM will be posting more shots in the days to come so tune in!!!

The society sweeties in San Francisco are giving New York a run for its money as is the amazing de Young Museum. Their current show, "Yves Saint Laurent," is a gorgeous look at the work of the late great French king of couture. The YSL Foundation cooperated and all the pieces in the show are original runway pieces from the Foundation (although some of the pieces are also in the de Young collection). SF is the only stop in the US of this show (which started in Montreal) so shake your tuchas to the city by the bay if you want to gag over these gowns. Also take a peek at some of the glamourpusses who showed up for the opening of the show. MM is dying to meet Dede Wilsey, who is a grand dame of SF, and who raised most of the dough to build the museum! Dede means business! Party photos from Style.com

While cruising the treacherous hills of San Francisco, Mr. Mickey met some fun cuties. MM's favorite full blown posse was this groups of Filipino Fashion Boys! Aren't they cute? From left to right it's Owen Buenaventura, Mr. Mickey, Michael San Gaspar, Bacca da Silva and Joseph Domingo in front. They all have collections and are couturing it up all over town!

Mr. Mickey is just back from San Francisco and as all you foodies already know, damn the food is good there! MM is a grilled cheese and fries girl but Mr. Mickey's mouth was treated to the scrumptiousness of fresh mint, organic dates, escarole and polenta like he's never tasted. The kids celebrated Kim's birthday with breakfast at the famous Boulette's Larder in the Ferry Building and people their scrambled eggs on polenta with red pepper ragout was better than a clearance sale at Fendi!!! The yogurt with pistachios, pomegranates and Turkish honey were better than any bedroom business Mr. Mickey has ever enjoyed!!! The lovely ladies at Boulette's also prepared sack lunches for us including radishes. Now Mr. Mickey was dubious, but that shit was like butter! Mr. Mickey is now both a San Fran sissy and a foodie faggot!!!! See you at the Farmer's Market!

Mr. Mickey has taken his road show to San Francisco and of course the first thing he stumbled upon was a classic gay spot The Nob Hill Adult Theater. This old chestnut features nudie cuties dancing on stage and climbing on the patrons in the audience (the dancers don't get paid, they just work for tips, so a wadded up single can get you lots of attention here gay geezers!). Mr. Mickey made friends with the enormously muscled Mr. Peter Latz (who is shown in a shot performing at Faultline in L.A.) who is a real churning hunk of burning hunk! They have private shower stalls where you can pay to watch the dancers from behind glass. Ah, the culture of the city by the bay!!!

No doubt all you PAPERMAG blogaholics have been devouring Mr. Mickey's Must-See Guide to L.A. so MM has decided to bring you PAPERMAG's Culinary Highlights of L.A.!!!! Mr. Mickey might be plus-sized but he isn't really a gourmet or anything so these highlights are refreshingly populist.

The chocolate chip cookies at Magnolia. This is PAPER's favorite favorite spot in L.A. and you can can always find the crew hanging out and devouring the tasty treats on the menu and ogling the tasty treats who are patrons. PAPER's Drew is particularly in love with chocolate chip cookies which are moist and doughy!!!
Magnolia, 6266 1/2 Sunset Boulevard, (323) 467-0660.

Bagels and cream cheese at the The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. No doubt you think we're crazy to mention the Coffee Bean for anything but lattes but they have the craziest yummy whipped cream cheese at the Bean that Mr. Mickey and Alexis go crazy for!!!
Visit www.coffeebean.com for store locations.

Macaroni and Cheesey at The Standard Hotel in Hollywood. They also have mac 'n' cheese at the Standard Downtown but we're sorry it's NOT the same!!! The m 'n' c on Sunset is super gooey and succulent.
The Standard Hotel. 8300 West Sunset Boulevard. (323) 650-9090.

M Chaya is often called the best macrobiotic restaurant in L.A. and Mr. Mickey can't get enough of the bibimbap here! Also, you often bump into health conscious cuties like China Chow and Kirsten Dunst! Hot dog palace Pink's is just around the corner so if your friends can't stand healthy, they can go chow down on a dog.
M Chaya, 7119 Melrose Ave., (323) 525-0588.

What is it about a round building that's so irresistible? It's not just the shape (although Feng Shui experts might disagree with MM), it's the fact that a round building makes such a visual impression since buildings are usually boxes. So the Capitol Records building has that going for it in addition to being an iconic symbol of L.A. that's seen in photos, movies and TV shows for decades. Plus MM loves that it's Capitol RECORDS and it's round like a record. MM is very simplistic and literal!!!

Here's a shot that we couldn't resist posting, and it even has an L.A. connection (remember, we're all out in the City of Angels for the 4th Annual PAPER Los Angeles Project!). It's three of our favorite CA girls, Vogue's Sally Singer with Kate and Laura Mulleavey of Rodarte. The Mulleaveys are Pasadena girls and will have a booth again this year at PAPER's 24-Hour Department Store. Here they are at the 12th Annual ACE Awards which celebrates accessories. Sally is wearing the Obama ensemble the girls designed as part of the homage to designer Sonia Rykiel for her 40th anniversary.

MM thinks the really amazing thing about Los Angeles is that it really is the dream factory. Here is where the most magical movies were made and where the seminal TV shows were filmed. That's powerful stuff! Just driving by the Hollywood sign gives Mr. Mickey a thrill! A place that MM always fantasized about as a child was CBS Television City. It's where the amazing Carol Burnett Show was filmed, and come on, the name alone is MAGIC. Television City!!!! It helps that TC is designed in that gorgeous '60s modern style that is so yummy. You can just imagine Carol's guests like Rock Hudson and Gloria Swanson pulling up outside Television City (or popping across the street to the Farmer's Market) to appear on Carol's show.

Mr. Mickey was lucky enough to spend part of Election Day at home with comedy legend Phyllis Diller. Kim took MM there and knocked him out with a major surprise -- Phyllis had been commissioned to do a portrait of MM!!! It's a dream come true. Mr. Mickey is an artist's muse like Camille Claudel or Kiki de Montparnasse!! Check out MM with the portrait (and Kim & Phyllis). Also check out the bonus shot of one of Miss Diller's Bob Mackie headdresses!!!

Decades, the ultra chic designer that stylist Rachel Zoe finds amahhhzing, and proprietor Cameron Silver hosted a book party for PAPER's own Kim Hastreiter and her new fashion tome Geoffrey Beene: An American Fashion Rebel. L.A. luminaries like design legend James Galanos, editor Annie Flanders, Traver Rains, Brian Rabin, Rose Apodaca, LVMH's Katharine Ross and others call came out to show their support. Ah the magic when L.A. and NYC come together!

Ok, so last night was a completely historic day, and the dreams of Democrats, which had been dashed for eight years, have come true in living colors! Oh. And Barack also won! What MM is referring to is Michelle Obama in her Narciso Rodriguez dress! How chic was she, and how fun are the next eight years going to be watching her support amazing American designers?

Who says "SHOWBIZ" more than Miss Debbie Reynolds? Debbie gives it to you old school! Looking at her you can almost hear Mr. Mayer ruling over MGM with an iron fist!! Magic! Well Debbie is opening up the Hollywood Motion Picture Museum in Pigeon Forge, TN that will house her unrivaled collection of movie memorabilia. Um, Dollywood and Debbie Reynolds in the same town? Sign Mr. Mickey up!!! Here in L.A. though, MM has always been obsessed with the Debbie Reynolds Dance Studio in North Hollywood. Debbie started the business after her rotten husband gambled away all her money. Now almost 30 years later things are still going strong!

Our next stop on Mr. Mickey's Must-See Guide to LA is the legendary La Brea Tar Pits. Come on, just reading the name makes Mr. Mickey mad with pleasure!!! And hello! These tar pits are right in the middle of L.A.! For a little history, tar has been gurgling up to the surface at the pits in the middle of Hancock Park for eons and in the prehistoric days all kinds of plants and animals got stuck in the goo leaving all kinds of great fossils for archeologists to drool over. There's a museum to see the fossils and they even have a gift shop where you can buy sabretooth cat canine fossil replicas or a cute stuffed glyptodon cuddlekin. A glyptodon is from the armadillo family. Who knew the pits could be so much fun!!!???

Mr. Mickey just LOVES L.A. Yes, it's sometimes the hip thing for New Yorkers to hate the City of Angels but Mr. Mickey thinks if you give Los Angeles a fair shake, you can't help but loving it. Consequently Mr. Mickey is highlighting some of his favorite spots in L.A. so you all can come to love this place as much as MM does. We're starting things off with the Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills. Now it's a bit crazy for a gay homosexual who is opposed most organized religions (except the Jhains!) to include a Catholic church on the Must-See Guide to L.A. but since he was seven, Mr. Mickey has loved reading movie star autobiographies and one of the spots that keeps popping up is the Church of the Good Shepherd. Ask Rosalind Russell. Ask Mia Farrow. Ask Loretta Young! Elizabeth Taylor married Nicky Hilton here. Judy Garland filmed the funeral scene in A Star Is Born here. And speaking of funerals, these Hollywood luminaries were eulogized here: Valentino, Frank Sinatra, Carmen Miranda, Eva Gabor, Danny Thomas, Alfred Hitchcock, Vicente Minnelli, Rita Hayworth and William 'Fred Mertz' Frawley. The church is in Beverly Hills but it's a Hollywood landmark!
