| Permalink Monday, January 28, 2008 the way it used to bei watched Jodie Foster in "The Brave One" on my flight to NYC. it was a good movie, well paced and beautifully photographed. i've been away for over a month, so watching a film about a NYC vigilante was an interesting entré back. the film reminded me of the New York City i moved to in the mid-eighties.| Permalink Sunday, January 27, 2008 tom as chrissy snowlast night, as i was scarfing down a piece of Jon's delicious chocolate b'day cake, i turned to Tom and asked "why is this cake so fucking good?" he looked at me and said "because it was baked in a Dutch oven". | Permalink jack ya body today is my buddy Jack's b'day, but we all celebrated it at Cha Cha Cha on saturday. it was also my buddy Bruce's boyfriend Jon's b'day, which we all celebrated saturday night at their house in The Hills.  in between birthday parties, my sister Renae drove my Mom's old car from San Bernadino to Hollywood for me to take possession. in the fifteen years since my Mom passed, every one of my sisters has owned her '79 Volvo at one time or another. now it's my turn. i'm gonna trick it out & jack it up with some rims and a bitching sound system. Mom would get a kick out of that. | Permalink Saturday, January 26, 2008 g-girls the first thing i watched on my new 50" plasma TV was the Golden Girls. i chose one of my favorite episodes where Dorothy mistakenly asked a priest over for a "dinner date". when she comes out and sees his priest's collar she says "please tell me that's a nehru jacket you're wearing". moments later, and both still embarrassed about the misunderstanding, he says "well, you look nice Dorothy" and she says "are you kidding? i look like the mother of a Solid Gold dancer". hi-la-ri-ous! well, i guess you gotta know what a nehru jacket is, and what a Solid Gold dancer is. | Permalink Friday, January 25, 2008 hostess jazzmun of club cobra Cleo and i managed to completely jam-pack thursday night with the kind of decadent delights only L. to the A. has to offer. we started with country line dancing at Oil Can Harry's (no mechanical bull for me with my fickle back), then Jumbo's Clown Room for real girl strippers (our favorite "A.M." danced her sweet patootie off), and then we topped off the night at Club Cobra in North Hollywood (Shedonna dressed as "Ginger" lip-synced all the Spice Girls parts on Spice Up Your Life & Say You'll Be There). we narrowly missed a late night cheeseburger at Bob's Big Boy (thankfully coming to our senses in the parking lot of the Toluca Lake landmark). after a year of having Cleo back in The States, she's returning to Sydney. i'm gonna miss her zest for life and culture and laughter, but i'm gonna really miss our 10 hour movie marathons the most. well, it just means i'll have to get my ass to Oz sooner rather than later. love ya heaps. | Permalink Thursday, January 24, 2008 latex mexLady Bunny posted this on tuesday and i've been transfixed ever since. i can't stop watching these clips!| Permalink "how very dare you!"Mathu turned me on to english comic Catherine Tate. do yourself a favor and watch all the skits posted from her show. her character "Derek" is a scream.| Permalink if a t-girl calls, answerlast thursday night, i met Vaniity at Club Cobra. she's even more gorgeous in person. the show starts at midnight.| Permalink Wednesday, January 23, 2008 i am not my body i threw my back out last week, so i decided abdominal strengthening via pilates was the quick fix. well, that only exacerbated the back-story and i've been out of commission for a couple of days...i.e., no country line dancing or gay roller skating... ugggh! i had an acid flashback watching this 1986 clip of aerobics pioneer Joanie Greggains. i religiously watched her TV show every morning after my go-go dancing shift at Weekends Disco in Atlanta. she helped me to "come down" off of whatever i had taken to get me through the night. i eventually got into aerobics in 1991, and during every class i took, i had Joanie Greggains on my mind. | Permalink Tuesday, January 22, 2008 her royal lady-magic i've worshipped at the feet of Michelle Visage ever since i met her in 1990. she is truly a gay man trapped in a woman's body if ever there was one. i photoshopped this 1987 promo picture of Visage about five years ago and thought you might get a kick out of spooking what i changed. click here to visit a site totally devoted to her lady-magic called Visage Therapy. | Permalink funny & informative| Permalinkhappy b'day Lahoma

Sir Ian McKellen is so offended by the Bible’s anti-gay stance he makes a point of ripping out the relevant page every time he stays in a hotel room. He finds it difficult to contain his outrage at the contents of Leviticus 20:13 when he spots the book in hotels. McKellen says, “It’s the one thing I find difficult to defend but do go on doing.” The Leviticus 20:13 passage reads: “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.” 2.) Sir Ian took a puff of a Marlboro Light and smiled like a serene party host. ''I can't wait to get into bed,'' he said. One aspect of his hotel room already felt like home: he had ripped the anti-gay passage Leviticus 18:22 from the Gideon Bible, a ritual that lets him sleep more soundly. | Permalink Sunday, January 20, 2008 daddy bday i drove down to San Diego saturday morning because my sister threw my pops a birthday party for his 79th. i saw my ex-brother in law Laurence for the first time in 15 years, and Junebug from across the street for the first time since 1971. that was the year i smoked my first joint, which had been stolen from Junebug by his brother Alvin. we played The List, Spotlight and Celebrity, and ate really fattening foods all day. i can't believe all the crap i put into my body. we laughed alot and had big fun, but you better believe after traffic died down, i hightailed it back to L.A. quick, fast and in a hurry. being in the house i grew up in still propels me into an emotional loop that years of therapy hasn't yet unraveled. | Permalink Friday, January 18, 2008 hot lipsafter our writing session yesterday, Bunny and i went to the Whole Foods on Fairfax for a late lunch. we were hoping to score a rare sighting of Angelyne, but we bumped into Sally Kellerman at the salad bar instead. as i sprinkled salad dressing on my creation, Kellerman stood next to me. i couldn't resist saying in my deepest Sally Kellerman voice "you're no doubt looking for the Hidden Valley Ranch dressing". she smiled as if to say 'if i had a nickel for every idiot who's ever said that to me...'| Permalink Tuesday, January 15, 2008 king & queen of amerika

Its political incorrectness stems not from a juvenile desire to shock, but from an exploration of race, gender, sexuality, and the ways we perceive them.

First I was told to “expect the official confirmation announcement any moment now” from Cher about her new upcoming string of shows at the Caesars Palace Colosseum. Then I was told, “Keep an eye on Jan. 28 or sometime that last week of the month.”  Either way, Cher is in charge of breaking the news herself and she’s planning to do it with a big splash in New York rather than Vegas! Watch for her 24-hour media day of back-to-back appearances on Good Morning America, The Today Show, plus David Letterman and Regis & Kelly to announce the new run starting either the last week of April or the first week of May at Celine Dion’s former home.  Bette Midler will be appearing there in the meantime and I’ve learned “her ticket sales are going through the roof—and far better than anybody dared dream possible. She’s a sell out and going at the same pace as Celine!” Apparently, Cher plans to stop in Vegas en route home to Hollywood after New York to meet all members of the Vegas media community and reveal further details of her spectacular. Tickets for Cher’s show should go on sale by Feb. 1 at the latest!

Do you recall playing this song for me in your hotel room in Chicago in October 2004? This song is supernatural. It is bigger than any of us. Numbers and The Saint on Cheshire Bridge Road, late night 1983...a queen dancing in a floor-length fur coat & cowboy hat.. Mike M. MM, yes and yes. Suzi Lane was one of the singers Giorgio Moroder produced after his enormous success with Donna Summer. the album was called Ooh La La. the title track was also a disco hit. i bought a cd of the album at Medium Rare in San Francisco. | Permalink Saturday, January 05, 2008 back got baby| PermalinkFriday, January 04, 2008 message from maurice engler I wanted to remind everyone that the new year is a good time to keep up with your computer maintenance.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Sidney Lumet directed. i guess i can finally forgive Lumet for fucking up "the wiz". "the savages" another Phillip Seymour Hoffman film. it didn't suck, whatever. "dan in real life" i couldn't get past the premise, which is so implausible and contrived that i shut it down after 40 minutes. don't get me wrong, i love implausible and contrived, but they couldn't pull it off. "lars and the real girl" i really enjoyed this movie. Ryan Gosling has got the goods. he has an amazing inner dialog. "once" shut down after 30 minutes. i was just not in the mood. 'the bucket list" Lifetime, television for women... starring two old geezers. i didn't shut it down. Nicholson has some funny lines. | Permalink 2009 RuCo, Inc.—All Rights Reserved |
