Happy Halloween

Hey Gays,

Happy Halloween. I was looking at my friends blog Dannation and he has this funny pic posted.




I do love Halloween and back in the day back in Providence my friend Michael and I hosted a yearly Halloween open house either together or when Jeff and I got together we continued the tradition. I think we had them like 7 years in a row. They were usually a lot of fun. We'd have them from 7-11 then go out to a club that was having a costume contest, etc. I still think the first one we had was the best, it was filled with high drama and antics. In those days I was sleeping around so you know what happens when you get a lot of boys that you are doing at a party at the same time...Of course I was in drag so I didn't care..and I actually ended up boinking someone new that night..LOL. He spun me around the dance floor like ginger Rodgers that night, we had fun!

He was actually a boy I liked and wanted to continue seeing him but he had just broken up with his boyfriend and got back together with him, shortly after that night. The funny thing is years later I slept with this other guy I met who worked at the blockbuster store i went to, he had a huge cock, Italian guy. Anyway it turns out he was the guy from Halloween's boyfriend and they were still together at the time. I can't remember how I linked the 2 together, i think I saw them at the bar together or something.

Well I think you'll get two things from this post, one is that I love Halloween and two I was a really big slut...LOL

Oh, the memories....

My New TV Crush

Hey Gays,

OK, so I've been watching Amazing Race for many seasons, I think I didn't watch one year after my hubby and I sent in a tape and application and never heard anything, how dare they!! Then I found out that they really cast people in this show and very rarely choose people from tapes, etc.

Any who, this season isn't that great as far as the teams go and most of the underdog type teams are eliminated, I like the underdogs usually, big surprise.
There is one team though that I like, the mom and son team. I think her name is Debbie but who cares about her, its her son Dallas that is the main attraction. He is a bit growing up Gotti for me but hot none the less and he seems like a nice enough guy.

Yesterday my hubby sent me this photo of Dallas he found on another blog. Good lord almighty Mary I'm in love...take a look at the pic and you'll understand...LOL. I'm pretty sure its him....amen




Please, fat people can be size queens as well...LOL

You Damn Fat people in Alabama

Hey gays,

I think the world has gone mad..I really do.

In August Alabama stated they wanted to tax their state employee's $25 a month if
they were considered obese.

The whole thing is going to happen starting in January 2009. This is ridiculous. I think i fall into that category by a hair...but I do not go to the doctors any more than a thin person for being fat. I do go to the doctor for my gastro issues but that has nothing to do with my weight.

Is this open discrimination, I think so. This article states that it is requiring the employee's to get screened making it seem that its getting the screening that is the issue or prompt for the fee.

I think this is a big fat joke. If you go to work and are able to perform your duties then it should be up to no one to charge you for your weight. To be honest I work with a lot of overweight people and they are here no less than women with children who often call in saying my kids are sick or I have to take them to an appointment, etc. I'm getting a bit off track but please read article and decide for yourselves.

Again, I think the world has gone mad...oh yes, it's not fat people that are making health care costs soar, it is the fat establishment with no rules and regulations that causes it...

A Poem: Will they know?

Will they know?



Will they know I’m quite funny?
I’ve reached out to them before
Articles in ink, show them the money
It’s me standing here beyond the door

Will they know I’m quite funny?
Doors Open, closing, hitting me in the face
Articles in ink, talking of some young bunny
Funny I’m not old; I can keep this pace

Will they know I’m quite funny?
It’s all a bit academic, the who’s who I wonder
Articles in ink shatter the glass ceiling with thunder
Shards of glass upon me, heading for cover

Will they know I’m quite funny?
I thought it was up to the eye of the beholder
Articles in ink, they think they’re quite clever
Will they know I’m quite funny, maybe never?

A little Trip

Hey Gays,

So sorry for my lack of posts. I know you've been biting your nails waiting for the next one....LOL

Any who, now that the craziness of my show is over I have to sit down and start writing new material for upcoming performances. It never ends....but I guess its good to keep busy and to keep plugging away.

A couple weekends ago we went on a little road trip with our best gays Jeff and Glenn. My Jeff and I had to go to a wedding of Jeff's cousin so Jeff and Glenn had asked us previously if we wanted to go on a weekend trip to Newport. Guess what? The Wedding was in Newport so they gave us a ride up there and we had a lovely time.

The wedding was pleasant and quick, though I must say I had a little too much booze and not enough to eat and was like hugging everyone and crying about silly things...I'm telling you there is something about drinking wine during the day...yawza..

The following day we had an interesting breakfast at the hotel we were staying in..the ultra ritzy "Holiday Inn Express" in Swansea Massachusetts..it was a tad Nascar to say the least but it was a place to sleep. We made our way back to Newport and spent the day at the mansions, we toured The Breakers and Rose cliff. The breakers was really cool and the opulence of the Vanderbilt's is something I need to aspire too..LOL. I think I need to sex up Anderson Cooper or better yet may Gloria Vanderbilt herself..well I could wear a blindfold for the latter...that's terrible. Rose cliff has a much more sorted history with several different owners, etc. They film many movies there and have weddings, i guess you can call it the whore of the mansions... It's funny I lived in Rhode Island for 13 years and I hardly ever went to Newport...It is a lovely place.

In the evening we met up with my friend Michael for dessert and coffee and headed out for some wild Providence nightlife...mmmmm there really was none to be had, it was a Sunday but it was Columbus day weekend so I figured there'd be a little activity but not really, sad. Providence used to be a great place to go out for a gay bar hop, not sure what happened or is it I'm getting old...Could be!

We had a lovely time and here are some pics. If you ever get a chance to visit Newport go for it, it has a lot to offer.

I'll be back

Hey Gays,

Sorry for the lack of posts. I have been traveling and now getting ready for show on Thursday. I'm busy.

Just to give an update I'm performing at the Gay Life expo so I'll be getting unlimited free passes so if you want to go let me know November 15th or 16th. I'll give you passes the day I'm performing so you can cheer me on!!

I'll post on Friday about my lovely trip to newport and other thangs....LOL

Mystery illness update

Hey Gays,

So I had my colonoscopy, how fun. The actual procedure is fine but the night before
really stinks..You have to drink 4 liters of this vile tasting mixture, an 8 oz glass every 10 minutes, yeah , right. I got to about 3 liters and i starting hurling it back up. They really need a better system for doing this....

Anyway, I've been told I'm baffling because though I have something going on in my
system they can't figure out what it is. I'm now suppose to go for another round of bloodwork for specialty testing....for auto-immune diseases, he still hasn't ruled out Crohn's disease but also suspects pernicious anemia which is similiar to celiac but your body is unable to process and absorb vitamin b-12........

All of this is getting a little tiring and i know the b-12 deficiency is effecting me, i'm forgetful and cloudy...more like i can't remember names of someone I'm trying to speak of or about...its' weird. I also have to go for a neat test where I swallow a camera in the form of a pill and a recording pack gets attached to your back and it takes pictures....very interesting....

What can I say I'm a freak. The one thing i don't understand is why I'm not thin....I should be....it's my life's curse!!!

Cheers, Thanks a lot

Gavin and Stacey

Hey gays,

i've been watching this funny show on BBC America "Gavin and Stacey". I love this show and on one episode there was a scene between the lead and his chunky friend.

They were talking about a a gay guy and his boyfriend and one said If I were gay I'd like to be with him and the chunky friend said yeah, me too. Gavin, then said, Oh, no mate, you'd have to lose weight cause the gays ostracize fat guys. I loved this and had never heard it on TV before...I put a you tube link to it, maybe the clip is on there.

I like this show so check it out!! It seems I like British TV in favor of the major US networks, go figure.

I am little upset that the US version of Little Britain is on HBO, we don't have it, hopefully they'll have it on i-tunes or something...

Finally, Good Lord Almighty

Hey Gays,

I was so Happy after watching the VP Debate last night and I have to say my view on Joe Biden drastically changed. The reason why is because he challenged Palin's use of the word "Maverick" over and over again. I have been so sick of hearing McCain and her use that word. I mean usually other people describe someone else as a "Maverick", it's not a word a humble person would use to describe themsleves, is it? but McCain calls himself that....it's fucked up.

I was so happy to hear him call her on that and she shut up about it afterwards, Loved it. Of course none of the commentary gave him credit for it...figures... here is the transcript in case you didn't see it.


PALIN: People aren't looking for more of the same. They are looking for change. And John McCain has been the consummate maverick in the Senate over all these years.

He's taken shots left and right from the other party and from within his own party, because he's had to take on his own party when the time was right, when he recognized it was time to put partisanship aside and just do what was right for the American people. That's what I've done as governor, also, take on my own party, when I had to, and work with both sides of the aisle, in my cabinet, appointing those who would serve regardless of party, Democrats, independents, Republicans, whatever it took to get the job done.

Also, John McCain's maverick position that he's in, that's really prompt up to and indicated by the supporters that he has. Look at Lieberman, and Giuliani, and Romney, and Lingle, and all of us who come from such a diverse background of -- of policy and of partisanship, all coming together at this time, recognizing he is the man that we need to leave -- lead in these next four years, because these are tumultuous times.

We have got to win the wars. We have got to get our economy back on track. We have got to not allow the greed and corruption on Wall Street anymore.

And we have not got to allow the partisanship that has really been entrenched in Washington, D.C., no matter who's been in charge. When the Republicans were in charge, I didn't see a lot of progress there, either. When the Democrats, either, though, this last go- around for the last two years.

Change is coming. And John McCain is the leader of that reform.

IFILL: Senator...

BIDEN: I'll be very brief. Can I respond to that?

Look, the maverick -- let's talk about the maverick John McCain is. And, again, I love him. He's been a maverick on some issues, but he has been no maverick on the things that matter to people's lives.

He voted four out of five times for George Bush's budget, which put us a half a trillion dollars in debt this year and over $3 trillion in debt since he's got there.

He has not been a maverick in providing health care for people. He has voted against -- he voted including another 3.6 million children in coverage of the existing health care plan, when he voted in the United States Senate.

He's not been a maverick when it comes to education. He has not supported tax cuts and significant changes for people being able to send their kids to college.

He's not been a maverick on the war. He's not been a maverick on virtually anything that genuinely affects the things that people really talk about around their kitchen table.

Can we send -- can we get Mom's MRI? Can we send Mary back to school next semester? We can't -- we can't make it. How are we going to heat the -- heat the house this winter?

He voted against even providing for what they call LIHEAP, for assistance to people, with oil prices going through the roof in the winter.

So maverick he is not on the important, critical issues that affect people at that kitchen table.


The other thing is how dare she use the word "Tolerate"(like to put up with) when speaking of Gay people like she is superior to us. I don't know what gay friends she has but they must be really self hating to be her buddy....really...I think the proper word would be "acceptance"(like ok with). She is a fool, i just feel there is negative energy when people use the word tolerate, hate it! See How Biden uses the word support, its much more positive.


BIDEN: Absolutely. Do I support granting same-sex benefits? Absolutely positively. Look, in an Obama-Biden administration, there will be absolutely no distinction from a constitutional standpoint or a legal standpoint between a same-sex and a heterosexual couple.

The fact of the matter is that under the Constitution we should be granted -- same-sex couples should be able to have visitation rights in the hospitals, joint ownership of property, life insurance policies, et cetera. That's only fair.

It's what the Constitution calls for. And so we do support it. We do support making sure that committed couples in a same-sex marriage are guaranteed the same constitutional benefits as it relates to their property rights, their rights of visitation, their rights to insurance, their rights of ownership as heterosexual couples do.
IFILL: Governor, would you support expanding that beyond Alaska to the rest of the nation?

PALIN: Well, not if it goes closer and closer towards redefining the traditional definition of marriage between one man and one woman. And unfortunately that's sometimes where those steps lead.

But I also want to clarify, if there's any kind of suggestion at all from my answer that I would be anything but tolerant of adults in America choosing their partners, choosing relationships that they deem best for themselves, you know, I am tolerant and I have a very diverse family and group of friends and even within that group you would see some who may not agree with me on this issue, some very dear friends who don't agree with me on this issue.

But in that tolerance also, no one would ever propose, not in a McCain-Palin administration, to do anything to prohibit, say, visitations in a hospital or contracts being signed, negotiated between parties.

But I will tell Americans straight up that I don't support defining marriage as anything but between one man and one woman, and I think through nuances we can go round and round about what that actually means.

But I'm being as straight up with Americans as I can in my non- support for anything but a traditional definition of marriage.

IFILL: Let's try to avoid nuance, Senator. Do you support gay marriage?

BIDEN: No. Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage. We do not support that. That is basically the decision to be able to be able to be left to faiths and people who practice their faiths the determination what you call it.

The bottom line though is, and I'm glad to hear the governor, I take her at her word, obviously, that she think there should be no civil rights distinction, none whatsoever, between a committed gay couple and a committed heterosexual couple. If that's the case, we really don't have a difference.

IFILL: Is that what your said?

PALIN: Your question to him was whether he supported gay marriage and my answer is the same as his and it is that I do not.

If people cannot see through her charade then the American people are actually idiots and commentators should stop saying "American's are smarter than that".

A bad night

hey gays,

last night I did a last minute performance, well I knew about on Friday and I planned on singing the new song i 've been rehearsing "Hard hearted Hannah". It was weird , I didn't feel right last night, like I wasn't in character or something.

This performance was solely to promote the October 16th show. I think the issue that was nagging at me but didn't realize until after I performed is that most burlesque shows are geared towards a straight audience. The last time I performed at this event the crowd was more mixed but last night there were a lot of straight guys and gals and winning people over in 2 minutes with a comedy bit doesn't always work and last night I bombed.

I hate that, not that I bombed, but that i was there to promote and bombing and promoting doesn't mix well.I did the song ok but after i felt i should have done a more drag lip synch #, something the crowd would expect from a drag queen, you know..

In the end it's all just to be in peoples faces so that's good and i did hand out cards and promote the show so whatever but MargOH! hates not making a crowd go wild..aaargh!! Maybe if I do this show again I'm going to do something from "Dream girls"...LOL
