Halloween in WeHo 2022

Despite my deep desire to just stay in this Halloween night, 

especially after the Halloween crush that killed over 150 people in Seoul, Korea,

I found myself in downtown WeHo singing 

You're The One That I Want

with 7 Bad Sandies.

Originally, I was going to stay in...

Then, my friend, Chris Pudlo, invited me to a party at his home.

I thought, "I'll do that. It's nearby and I can see costumed people

as I walk there - Away from downtown WeHo."

Then, muh DAB, Dudley informed me that he 

and a few of our friends were going to hang out and watch something

before they head out to the boulevard starting at 2 or 3 pm.

Feeling a little tired of work, I thought,

"Well, I can start out with them and walk over to Chris' from

downtown WeHo."

I took a few personal hours away from work,

slapped on my laziest costume in years and joined Dudley and the fellas.

When I got there, there was less watching something

and more 7 guys getting into Bad Sandy drag.

It promised to be a a fun group costume.

And, it was!

Before we knew it, the sun was setting and it was time to hit the streets.

It was only a little before 6, so I had a few hours to kill before the party.

I remained with the Sandies, carrying their music source as  

You're The One That I Want

played on an endless loop.

The Bad Sandies were a hit!

Channel 5 news ate them up

Folks on the street loved them

And a savvy DJ put 

You're The One That I Want

on the moment the Sandies walked into Gym Bar

and the crowd went wild!
Everyone joined in.

Despite my worries of a rogue Halloween mob taking over the streets of WeHo,

it turns out that it was busy, but not scary crazy crowded, 

so I felt relaxed enough to hang with the Sandies awhile...

(Fake cigarettes; the Sandies weren't THAT bad!)

Before I knew it,

it was 10pm

and I was pooped.

I sent Chris psychic regrets and 

walked home.

All in all, 

it was a nice, fun evening out

and I got a bunch of pics

on the street and in bars

Motherload, Heart and Gym Bar.

I also got to see a few friends on the street...

Like, John Coulter

You may recall that he made my wonderfully delicious

costumes for Best In Drag Show 2018!

Additionally, I got some fun shots

of holiday celebrations, spewky stuff 

and hot guys.

ENJOY!

P.S. this is a public apology to Chris Pudlo

for not showing up to the party after accepting his invitation.
I'M SORRY!

Can anyone name this actor?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2022 MEMORIES!!

Happy Halloween 2022!

 Danny (Trejo) & Sandies say have a

Safe & Fun

Greasy

Halloween!

While you're putting your

scary panties on, 

please enjoy another

Evening of Women SCREAMing

S'up, Muh DAB? - Is this Bye Bye?

 It's not easy losing a DAB!

Take heed,

you can't assume your

Die Alone Buddy 

is forever!

Take muh former

DAB, Brett.

We met circa 2000,

as his long term relationship

with a super sweet hot guy

was ending.

We met while I was doing a show called

666 WESTBOURNE DRIVE

Since then,

we had been hanging out,

traveling and celebrating together

Celebrating Easter

like the fun times would never end,

as if we would enjoy dying alone together.

Over the years,

we formed a great 

Group of DABS

and we'd hang out and do 

crazy crap together all the time.

We made up special nights,

like "Iron-On Night",

where we'd gather to create our own iron-on t-shirts.

This 9 TO 5 iron-on went horribly wrong!

Actually, we've gathered to do a bunch of stuff like

dress up Barbie dolls in fancy clothings

Actually dressing Barbie with Senior Director of Barbie® Design, Robert Best!
(...Who yelled at me for using a fur muff as a mini skirt)

...Play Fashion Plates!

Brett was resistant to my Fashion Forward mixing of florals & plaids.

...Watch bad movies

At XANADU... where Dreams Die!

Travel to far off lands like;

Miami...

2003

2004

2010

Mexico...

Acapulco 2006

Puerto Vallarta 2009

New York...

2003

2004

2014
(Enjoying a Vin'l meal before
ROCKY THE MUSICAL)

Burbank...

2021

and just have fun in general.

When we weren't specifically having fun,

we shared meals and discussed important crap,

like family relations, friend relations, politics,

navigating our professional lives 

and what the year's

Halloween costume would be.

In 2003, it was Pirates!

Then it happened;

He met someone.

I'll call him Andrew,

because that's his name.

He's a swell fella.

He choroegraphed my big farewell number

for BEST IN DRAG SHOW 2019

...but he's also the guy who took my DAB.

So let me get this straight;

When we went out to the bars

or were out flirting,

he was REALLY looking for someone?

The nerve!

Actually, this one went like the best ones do;

they were introduced by a mutual friend.

(Ha! Some friend! She ends DABs!!)

No drunken meet,

or crazy on-line hook-up

or too polite to end the one-night-stand

situation there & then.

...And I suppose I can't be too hard on him,

because I've always said, 

while I am not gonna kill myself

searching for it,

I'm open to it if it happens.

So It Happened.

It all ended 

June 7, 2019...

I lost muh DAB, Brett.

Stay tuned,

and I'll give you the blow by blow loss

of my Die Alone Buddy

on the day of his wedding.
