The First Same Sex Kiss In The History of the Navy

As you were.


See, no big deal, right? Breaking one barrier at a time. THAT is what makes it special. 

Happy Father's Day

To all those Dads out there, even if you only have dogs or cats or houseplants. That leaves out all of you in prison, and if you are, you aren't on my blog for Father's Day wishes. You are here for this

Happy Mothers Day

Things will be back to normal around here shortly. In the meantime, I hope your kids treat you well and your mothers don't embarrass you too badly or drown you in any pools. XOXO

Spring Came To Cleveland

And other than skipping around and randomly squeazing my dogs, I am happy as a clam. It is gorgeous today. I am playing music that make me think of this time of year and dancing like a goof. What songs put you in a Spring mood?




And here's the bee girl all grown up.

Happy St. Patrick's Day From The Dropkick Murphys

And my favorite Dropkick song, 'Kiss Me, I'm Shitfaced.'

Christmas With the Puppies

Asleep by the fire and it's only 3 p.m.

Oooooo, Chrissy! That's Fabulous

Fall is slowly easing into Winter now that Halloween is over, and I hate it. I'm one of those people who lives for sunlight and hates the darkness. I'll start to get insomnia in about two months and begin haunting the heated tees in anticipation of better weather, all the while trying to pretend that I'm not getting crabbier and crabbier (and fucking fuck, the PMS excuse only works for a week each month).
What does any of this have to do with "Lipstick?' It reminds me of the late 80s and modeling in the fall and winter in freaking bathing suits, David Lachapelle making me stare into the sun over a grate on 6th Avenue. Those were the cold days where I was so insanely busy that I didn't even notice the weather. I need to get back to that. Anybody need a 40 something model to sell their golf clubs or hormone replacement therapy alternatives? I've already done a wrinkle filler ad, so it's no big stretch for me. FUCK! Getting older sucks.

Every Party Needs Drunk Ewoks

The moonwalking is special and something tells me that this isn't Al's first time to the leg humping rodeo.

Shooting Your Fellow Commuters

There's an app for that.

Bonnaroo

I will be doing a lot of Bonnaroo posts in the next few days, sharing the pictures of bands and people that I took during one of the best weekends of my life. Let's have some positivity and fun in the next few days. We all need it, right?

Love you all, wish that you could have been there with me.

And yes, all these photos were taken by yours truly, not a news source, just little old me.

Happy Belated Father's Day

I don't have one of those anymore, but I raise my glass to all of you great Dads and Grandfathers out there. So does Dexter.

Istanbul With Puppets

Great. Now I'm going to have this song stuck in my head all day.


Why am I such a sucker for this goofy shit?

Beer Holster

Bonnaroo is right around the corner and my birthday is August 27th. Just sayin.'

Fail!!!!!!

Keep it up, Yankees.

As if getting owned by the Indians on opening day weren't enough, they got crushed and humiliated yesterday to the tune of 22-4. Joy!

Yay, George Mason University!

Drag queen Reann Ballslee/Ryan Allen won the Homecoming Queen title at the very diverse George Mason University. The school is located just outside of Washington DC and is the largest University in Virginia. They are one of the few campuses that are growing at an exponential rate and even have plans to open a site in the United Arab Emerites. They have Division I sports teams and a strong computer sciences program.
It seems like everyone was a good sport about Reann winning the title, so if you are a young cross dresser getting ready to head off to college, this may be where you'd be most welcome. Who knows? Perhaps you too could be Queen someday!

Final Puppy Update

I am happy to inform all those of you that inquired, that Jeremy the German Shepherd has found a good home. On Thursday his foster mom Karen took him down to Medina to meet a nice couple who were still sad after losing their Germen Shepherd recently, and they were overjoyed to have him. Yay, a happy ending!

I hope this inspires you to take in a stray or rescue dog. How wonderful to make someone so happy and to help an animal in need. Kudos to you, Karen!

It's the Year of the Ox

Happy Chinese New Year everybody! The Chinese calendar is lunar based, which explains why it falls on a different day each year. For those of you who pay attention to this stuff, here are some traits that those born in the year of the ox are supposed to have, patience, dependability, good work ethic and modesty. They can also be bigoted, a stick in the mud and stubborn. They are calm, do not like to take risks and are purported to have the most beautiful facial features out of the entire zodiac. I think they just threw that last bit in to make the ox not sound so boring.

So, the good news is that you are not supposed to do any cleaning until after Wednesday because it could wash off the good luck. That includes your body, people. Not such good news. But you are going to treat yourself to lavish meals and spread some generosity around. What you do now will determine the luck that comes back to you. So here's wishing all my friends and readers a happy, prosperous and fulfilling New Year!

Work Stops Today at 11:25

For those of us lucky enough to work from home or have a television nearby, the inauguration swearing-in begins at 11:30, followed by Obama's address to the nation. The parade is at 3:45 and those of you without tickets, good luck. There are at least 2 million people in D.C. as I write this and more still to come. Obama is not in the parade, by the way, he will be watching from the White House. Speaking of which, it sure is nice to look at a building in our nation's capital and not be filled with loathing, for a change.

Obama's Whistle Stop Train Trip

This brings back memories of watching old news reels where Roosevelt or Truman would be smiling and waving from the back of the last train car, campaigning across the nation in the most efficient way available at the time. Only this time the campaign is over and we are about to have our first black president. I loved watching the videos on CNN of all the people smiling, crying and waving as our next president waved and smiled back. It was a nice gift to all the supporters on the east coast, and another way of showing how connected he is to the people who got him elected. What a breath of fresh air! Someone in power who talks to people and not down to them. Someone who cares about people's concerns and not just fattening the wallets of the 'good old boy' club. I hope that Barack enjoys these last couple of days before he is inaugurated. I hope he gets tipsy, smokes a doobie with the press corp, has some wild hanky panky with his wife and takes a long deep cleansing breath before thing become very serious very quickly. He has a long, hard road ahead of him, as do most of the rest of us. Good luck and God protect us all.

I Want to Say

Happy New Year, everybody! Love you all and thank you for reading my blog and being all-around wonderful people. I hope that this year brings you love, prosperity and fun shit that you will share with me. I know that I am luckier than most, I am happy, healthy and am surrounded by great friends and family. There are so many crappy things going on right now but I choose to remain positive and I hope that I bring a smile to your face on a regular basis. I couldn't have done it without you.

Thanks to Billy, who made me start this blog in the first place. Thanks to everyone on the internet who provide me with my material. Thanks to Chilean wines, you make life worth living, and thanks to Rock. I love you more than you will ever know. I got lucky that day you found me on Myspace. Who knew? I just wish that everyone could be as lucky as me right now. Kisses!
