Getting Out - Boulevard of Scary/Sexy Dreams

On Tuesday morning, either my alarm didn't go off or I slept right through it.  Either way, I was going to be late for work and I decided I couldn't show up late on Halloween and not be dressed up!  I did a quick inventory of what I had handy... (You see, I intended to plan for this, but the weekend of shows and a late night party on Saturday, had me so exhausted that Sunday night I just wanted to get home.  I inadvertently left my make-up and accoutrements at the theatre).  I came up with a costume I called a character from the classic novel THINGS NOT SO GREAT, GATSBY.
I spent the whole day at work in this dress with no bra or pantyhose (hairy legs & all, "I'll shave my legs when we're all rich again!") and I must say I was very comfortable!  I was asked to emcee the employee costume contest and enjoyed the show

My favorite comment about my costume, which totally nailed it, was from my friend Mike Lorre, "But how can she get her tassels flying and have no fucks to give at the same time?"

After work, it was my biggest desire to plop down on the sofa and watch a scary movie or two, but because I have to get out potentially meet a potential lover, I joined muh DAB, Glenn Gaylord for a jaunt on the Santa Monica Boulevard, here, in West Hollywood.

Here, I share a few of my favorite sightings...

 

Fabulous, no?  

I didn't meet a potential lover, but I did gain an appreciation for body paint, shirtless ghouls and hot, hairy mens with giant bear heads!!

The walk from one end to the other took about 2 hours and I got quite a few steps in!

I also had a little time to watch THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR.

As tired as I was, I was glad I got out!  ...again!

He Don't Even Know - All A-buzz About Pride

This is "Ramiro", 

I was fondly remembering our adventures

on the Puerto Vallartan beaches last year, 

When I recalled his bring to my attention

Smirnoff's LOVE WINS campaign 

last year.

It happened in the UK

and was quite delightful.

I think "Ramiro" had me so drunk on love

that I forgot to tell you about.

Think of it as a Pride Primer at this point...

This Is Why I Am Single - My Kiss Is Not On Their List

Well it happened again!  I was totally left off of the Out 100 Most Eligible Bachelors list!
How the heck am I supposed to not die alone if these gay publications refuse to list me as an eligible bachelor?  Okay, I was once part of Frontiers Magazine's Eligible Bachelors, but I only got one response, which I didn't see until a year and a half later because he responded through Facebook and that program put his message in the "other" file, which no one knows exists until they see something like this and check their Facebook message options.  I did meet with that responder, who was quite nice, but young and not a love connection.  Actually, if you ever do see one of these local eligible bachelor things and there's one that you find remotely attractive or interesting, please send them a message.  It takes a bit of bravery to agree to have yourself put out there like that and while I'm grateful that I didn't get any troll messages, not getting even one response is a little disheartening.   It really did give me a boost when I found that one message a year and a half later!

Now, the fellas listed in the Out Magazine feature, didn't have to agree to be a part of it, so feel free to ignore every single one of them!  I, myself, am partial to a few of them that I have met or am friends with...

Billy Porter

I met him once,

Energetic, a nut (in the best way possible)

and talented- 

I also saw him in KINKY BOOTS.

Drew Droege;

I've performed with him many times

ALWAYS-kind, generous, self-assured, hilarious.

Someone with the talent to back up Diva behavior that he never exhibits.

I find him very inspirational

Wilson Cruz

besides being an obvious hottie,

Wilson is a sweet heart.

We've been acquainted for years

and whether we're at the same party or sharing the sidewalk

he's always good for a big smile and hug.

I mean a real hug, too- like vice grip!

There you have it, my picks from Out's list and I congratulate them for being included.

They are very swell and it's a nice list but, This Is Why I Am Single; 

Every National Gay Publication refuses to put me on their Most Eligible Bachelor list!

Thanks for trying, Frontiers...

Even though you won't find me there, you can see the bachelors and vote for you favorite HERE

WAIT! Maybe I'm not clear on what "elegible" means...

Gay of A Certain Age - 48 & Nellie

Saturday I turned 48 and had a blast!

It started off with a surprise drink from my friends Rick & Jeffrey, who were sitting at another table.

Then the wait staff surprised me with a Tequilla shot.

That little glass looks more like three shots to me, but who am I to complain?

SMOOTH!

Then came my favorite part of the night...

remember that "Nomophobia" thing I have about getting people's name wrong,

well, Chico's Angels Hunk, Josh shows up, 

and I introduce him to the room as "Trevor"!

I didn't even realize until a few minutes later when he said, 

"Thanks for that..."

Maybe it was the triple tequilla shot.

Muh DAB, Dennis and I shared the celebration, 

which consisted of a few appetizers in a back room

of the Casita Del Campo,

chat & the Nellie Olesons after.

It was a nice crowd, 

take a look:

Yep, these are some of my friends.

They're all pretty cool, 

except for that Trevor, 

he's aloof.

 The wait staff surprised us with Flan & a song!

After, we headed downstairs to the 

Cavern Club Theater

to watch the Nellie Olesons,

who are literally

balls out

funny!

We shamelessly broke the 

no photos in the theater rule

(well before the show started)

After the show I was a nerd

and got a photo with each and every single one of the Nellies!

All in all 

it was a fun,

easy breezy, 

laugh outloud

good time birthday,

made even more special by sharing it with

muh DAB, Dennis Hensley!
