Part Two:
The Boy With a Bugle!
1997, 28 mins. One of the first movies that really had an impact on my emerging gay identity was the musical
MAME with
Lucille Ball and
Kirby Furlong as
Patrick Dennis a.k.a. “The Boy With A Bugle”. I saw the film when I was only six years old. My puppy love for and secret wish to be
Kirby Furlong is the central vehicle that drives the second installment of
The Fatboy Chronicles . While the main theme of the video is that of depicting events in my sexual development which ultimately lead to my acceptance of my body…small blue penis…fat…and all! Or, how I went from feeling so insecure of my body I wore a t-shirt to go swimming even at night to how I became an international nude male model…never saying diet!
