Happy Holidaze!

People, you wouldn't believe how busy I've been!  I'd say from September to now, I've been moving at such a speed that my body finally kicked my ass and knocked me down for two days!  With an already busy schedule, I've performed in a few Chico's Angels shows, both in Los Angeles and Palm Springs and competed in and won a drag beauty pageant, visited New York and tried very hard to view materials to nominate actors for the SAG awards. ( I was on the TV nominating committee and let me tell you, there is just too much great television out there!)  Rehearsals, performances, meetings and a few social obligations have kept me too busy to post, too busy to keep my home in order and certainly, too busy for love!  I spent two days in bed with a cold/exhaustion and have spent the last few days in El Paso for the Christmas, clutching my Dayquil and trying not to hack up too much.  I'm having a nice time with family and friends, but I was grateful for this brief moment to myself, which has allowed me to finally post something here, and in a few minutes, take a nap!

I am so behind in photo editing, but believe me, I have some great shots to share with you, like these two from Palm Springs Pride in November!

Sadly, I'm actually still editing pics from Long Beach Pride in MAY!  I am so far behind!

Well, I might as well share a fresh May edit, right?

Anyway, I've had a very busy year and hopefully I'll be back more frequently to share with you the tragedies and delights of being single and looking for someone to die alone with! 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS and FABULOUS NEW YEAR!

A Turkey Weekend Greeting

Don't worry folks, I wasn't alone on this feasting day!
Along with these fine folks, I had other special friends and
amazing family members in my heart.

Though I may die alone, I am grateful for all the people in my life!

Happy Thanksgiving weekend!!

This Is Why I Am Single - Status Report

From the Interwebs - Great Tip!

I found this on the interwebs.  It's a really great idea, I always worry about something happening to me at a time that I am dogsitting.  I might have to take this idea and create one for myself.
I don't pet sit all that often, so I'm also going to make one that I can use all the time, 24/7.

Which Craft?

Hey!! I'm not dead, but I'm dead exhausted!  Too busy to post and definitely too busy for love!!
I've had a whirlwind year and currently I am in the midst of a drag hurricane!  I've been with the drag stuff taking a great portion of my time, I've barely had a chance to breath. ...And go to New York for a weekend.  BUT... just because I'm currently working my full time job and rehearsing two shows, it doesn't mean I can't spend my few precious moments of alone time crafting a few Halloween cards!  I made a few especially for you, my dear Reader(s) (s?)!

Please enjoy these sexy but disturbing cards I made with my own hands, scissors and glue sticks to whisk me away from my overstuffed schedule.

Do you have a favorite?  I can't decide which I like most; the beefy zombie, the hung skull or just getting some Pinhead.  Whichever one you like the most, have a

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

What am I rehearsing for?  Oh, well, if I must say, it's these 2 shows!

We are doing Episode 5 of Chico's Angels at the Colony Theatre in Burbank for one weekend and our Christmas Variety Show on Thanksgiving weekend in Silverlake, in our home, The Cavern Club Theater.  Of course, you can get tickets at Chico's Angels' website.

It's True! It's True!

This Is Why I Am Single - The Unflattering Shot To The Heart

First, sorry for my long absence, I've been really busy doing stuff, which I hope I don't neglect to tell you about... I still haven't even shown you stuff from July!  Anyway, I thought I'd share this really quickly, while it is in the moment...

During one of my Too Busy For Love nights out, I saw one of my favorite women, Deven Green, seated across the room.  I thought I would literally slip in really quickly to say Hi and remind her how much I love her.  I crossed and wedged myself between her and the armrest of the love seat she was sitting in, chatting to a pal.  As we were exchanging pleasantries, the event photographer came up to take a couple of pics.  I thought, 'Goodness, what an awkward position I am in, but I do love a pic with Deven.' And just like that, Click Flash, Snap Flash, a few pics were taken and we moved on.  I thought, 'Those probably aren't very flattering, but I'm sure event photographer won't post those if they're unflattering.'  Today...

BAM! Right on my Facebook page, where everyone can see..!  Me, with multiple double chins and a gut that makes Santa Clause look like Jack Skellington!  ...But, I wasn't even entirely on the sofa!  I had an armrest pushing my back forward..!  There's no place for me to put my left arm!  I didn't even get to suck it in!  I couldn't!

It's so unflattering!!!

But, I left the pics up.  I didn't ask the photographer to take them down... I didn't even untag myself.  I have decided that unflattering pictures are a part of life.  And if I don't want unflattering pictures of me, I should work at not being unflatterable (Fuck you, I know it's not a word! It's my blog!).  These pics don't make me look overweight, I AM overweight.  I have to work at accepting myself for how I am, or if I can't do that, work at changing how I am.  

Also, in the photographer's defense, the event is for a video release for the song ROUND IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES by Tom Goss.  It's about loving round men and shows how attractive he finds them.  It's why I wore the T-shirt I chose wear!  It has a man and a bear hugging- drawn by artist Raogui...

So the pictures are up, I'm tagged in them and everyone can see them.  If I don't love myself at my current weight, why should I stop someone else from doing it?

This Is Why I Am Single; sometimes, I let unflattering pictures of me stay posted on Facebook.

(Also, sometimes I go on angry, parenthetical, rants!)

Please enjoy the music video HERE.

Now, please, enjoy MY pics of the event, which we carefully chosen and edited by ME.

(Some are blurry or too blown out to stay in color... I think I hate my iPhone camera)
