This year's Texas Bear Round-Up is muscling up its four-day affair with a visit by celebrity blogger and children's book author Perez Hilton. From March 15 to the 18, Dallas will see an increase in big burly men, and those who adore them, as they pack up to paw their way to local wineries, dance floors and pool parties.

Hilton joins the boys on Friday night at Station 4 where he will dole out sips of TY KU Premium Sake & Asian Spirits. Set your snark rays on stun, because Perez isn't here to deface, while he will be live-blogging the event, the word is that he's on a mission to promote his anti-bullying campaign. The night is a fundraising effort, so your $30 cover will go to support Youth First Texas, AIDS Interfaith Network and Greg Dollgener Memorial AIDS Fund (GDMAF). And a warning to tiny people attempting to party with very buff men: You cannot hold your booze as well as they do, so don't even try. Remember, this event is being live-blogged.
