Did anyone buy his one video that just got released yesterday or so? He said it was his first “professional” scene bisexually.
Oooh, "professional."

They must have had freshly laundered towels rather than cumrags for the cleanup! xD

Oh it’s probably his scene with pregnant Zoey. He keeps trying to trick people into buying the same old videos by changing the captions a little.
 
that one's not so bad. my main gripe is the shoes not being black
his shoes being black with that brand would be ugly. white shoes is the perfect contrast to dark clothing
 
It’s only called All Saints Day in Europe because that’s what the Spanish Colonizers chose to call it when they invaded Mexico. And stole their traditions and tried to Westernize it.
Wrong, guys.

The Mexicans call it BOTH the "Day of the Dead" (Día de los Muertos) and "All Souls Day" (Conmemoración del Día de los Fieles Difuntos) and it happens on November 2. It's just that "Day of the Dead" is the more common way they refer to it. But it's the same holiday and just one in a week of holidays that includes and roughly corresponds to Halloween.

All Saints Day comes on November 1, which the Mexicans call el Día de Todos los Santos. This is the day when Mexicans and all Catholics are supposed to honor all the famous martyrs and saints of the church, whereas friends and families like Coco's are more honored on All Souls Day (Nov. 2).

Pagan Aztecs never observed the Day of the Dead around Halloween originally. Before the Spanish came to Mexico, the Day of the Dead was one day within a month-long festival of the dead dedicated to Mictecacihuatl, the Aztec goddess of the underworld and it took place from July through August. The reason the Spanish forced the Mexicans to move the Day of the Dead to November was because their Catholic missionaries and conquistadores were always trying to wipe out or convert all pagan worship everywhere in the world and they already had a holiday season for rededicating pagan festivals of the dead to Christ: Halloween, All Saints Day and All Souls Day.

So the Spanish authorities let the Mexicans keep their flowers, skeletons and prayers to the ghosts of their ancestors in November, as long as we're calling it a Christian ritual to souls in the Christian heaven.

Hundreds of years before Europeans discovered Mexico, the Catholic Church was trying to convert all Europeans to Christiany and eradicate all pagan holidays and spirit worship. They were having extreme difficulty forcing people to give up extremely fun and popular festivals like Yuletide, the Saturnalia or an "evil" little Celtic festival of the dead held on October 31 called Samhain. Samhain was especially popular in Ireland and Britain. Christian missionaries like Saint Patrick were trying to snuff it all out.

When the Catholics couldn't ban fun traditions of dressing up in costumes, laying out treats to ward off evil spirits and people roaming the neighborhood begging every door for soul cakes, they decided to just rededicate the same rituals to Christ, the Christian martyrs and your devout friends and family who are deceased.

Samhain's popularity forced the Catholic Church to situate their Halloween, All Saints and Souls Days from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2.

But keep in the mind, the Eastern Orthodox Christian Churches — the earliest Christian churches in places like Greece, Eastern Europe and the Middle East — invented All Saints and All Souls Days centuries before that to convert the Roman festival of appeasing the ghosts of your ancestors called the Lemuria. That holiday took place in mid-May and that's still when the Eastern churches observe All Saints and All Souls Days.
