I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing

Always remember never forget don't F#ck With Dolly Parton!

The problem with beauty is that it's like being born rich and getting poorer

Love is not complicated, people are

Rewatched Bob Fosse's Lenny the other day...Brilliant!!!

Take your passion and make it happen!

Pretty Hurts, the more you know...

Woman Crush of the Week - the amazing Margaret Cho! Here we are back stage at Pride in West Hollywood, CA 13 years ago.

You think you're ready? You ain't ready enough!

Remember Kings & Queens you are not perfect and there's nothing wrong with that

I put Halloween and the year I was born in the Gif bar and what to my wondering eyes did appear: Mary Poppins!

Hump Day & Chill

Bozo & Barnabas

A clown and a vampire walk into a bar and decided to...Hump Day & Chill! Spotted this on the WWW and couldn't pass it up!

"Yes' it's that odd pairing of celebrities that got together that you never thought was possible without, what else? Photographic evidence!!! Yay!

Behold the odd pairing of Bozo The Clown and Barnabas Collins. Barnabas flew in from the town of Collinsport, Maine to appear on Bozo's TV show.

I'm sure it was a quite lovely time, wished I could have been a fly on the wall for it.

There it is, your Hump Day & Chill levity for the week.

No clowning around now....

Where The Boys Are...


In honor of Pride here's a Meme of Traci Lords as Wanda in John Waters Cry-Baby. She's here to remind all you guys out there why you really attend Pride festivals.

"Yes" it's the hot boys, duh. 

Don't try to deny it men, we all know what you are like and we all know what you want. Me especially, since I happen to be on Team Dorothy as well.

There's no shame in the game, simply think of it as another reason to be Proud!

Monday Motivation


Read the above for this week's Monday Motivation. This advice should be a constant. During Pride Month it takes on a whole other dimension.

During this month you should be more mindful about drinking water because you know, standing around and walking all day at the festivals and parades can really dehydrate one's self.

Minding your own business while sound advice is especially good amongst Gaggles Of Gays. You know how they can be...

Go in peace and pride my Minions.

LA Pride!

George Takei

Happy Pride Los Angeles! "Yes" today is the LA Pride parade held in Hollywood, CA!

The legendary George Takei is serving up the gay presiding over the to do as the Icon Grand Marshall.

To answer your question "No" I won't be attending. While I love Pride and all that it stands for I don't care for crowds and the pomp and cricumstance that accompanys a parade."Yes" I am basically saying "I'm too old for that noise" LOL!

To those who are attending I'm sure will have a groovy time! 

Wave your rainbow flag in the air like you don't care Minions and show them how proud you are!!!

"Close To You"

"Close To You"
Mike Clifford

Here is the perfect ballad for Pride Month a re-working of the Carpnter's Classic "Close To You" 

Sung and performed by former Teen Idol Mike Clifford of "Close To Cathy" fame.

The cover itself is a tribut to the song's writer Burt Bacharach here's the 411:

"Mike first met the late Burt Bacharach in New York in 1963. Since then, Mike has been an admirer of his work. In the course of his illustrious career, Burt won six Grammy's, three Oscars, an Emmy, and many other worldwide awards. In this tribute, Mike has recorded a new version of one of his biggest hits (written with Hal David), "Close to You" made famous by the Carpenters in 1970. With a brilliant arrangement by the iconic Maurice Gainen and a fresh and captivating video, Mike brings new life to this classic million seller! Special thanks to Devin Pinckard for lending his wonderful talents to this project. Entire production was conceived and co-produced by the great Maurice Gainen and Mike Clifford."

Hit the video after the jump and celebrate your Pride!
