| Yet another 'day from hell', in this 'wicked little town' | ||
|
by Rajkhet Dirzhud-Rashid -
SGN A&E Writer Maybe the bad karma (or whatever it is!), this one is experiencing this day (which has pulled out all the stops toward being the worst day of this week, for this little kitty) started with that dead sea gull I almost stepped on when I left the Fabulous Daughter's last weekend (Lesbian and Gay Film Fest weekend dahlings). Or maybe it was because, being a collector of feathers, I tried to pull one from the poor creature's lifeless body. Oh, the shame of that act, let me tell you (but I did do an impromptu burial for the poor dear, and left the feathers alone) my little cherubs! Obsession's a quirky thing, ya know? Anyway, this one, as she sits here, medicated to the gills, because the arthritis is doing cartwheels in the old chassis, is not a happy camper. Still, Goddess bless for the vicodin that is keeping the unbelievable pain at bay. Anyway, I must say a big 'you go girl' to Sir Ian McKellan for coming out on the fabulous Craig Ferguson's show about a week ago (and honey, that outfit was to die for!). Definitely as good as Melissa Etheridge mentioning 'her wife' on Letterman's show. Letterman who seems to be sinking to new lows of homophobia, racism and kissing up to the right wing on his show. Scorn on that one! And thanks to whoever at CBS decided that a show devoted to the issues still bubbling in New Orleans (the meaty and watchable 'K-Town') was worth keeping. Last night (Monday), there was a preview that said there would be eight new shows in three weeks. Let's hope the fans of this show (and I know I'm NOT the only one honey!) can keep it alive, because the alternative is more shows so stupid a monkey wouldn't watch them (can we say 'Phenomenon', and 'Kitchen Nightmares'?). Oh, oh, and I must say that I'm loving watching old episodes of the campy, and 'so bad it's good' '90's thriller/ghosty show, 'The Legacy', on Sunday nights. True, I miss 'SG1' and 'Stargate: Atlantis' (not having cable and some TV exec deciding to bump it off regular television), but getting goose bumps on Sundays as demon hunters, Derek De Lint, Martin Cummings (who is just sooo yummy to watch!), Robbi Chong and the delectable Helen Shaver strut their stuff is almost as good. Hey, nothing beats a campy poltergeist show dearies. Also speaking of shows I wished still came on, I heart Tracey Conway, from the bygone comedy sketch show 'Almost Live' (Nancy Guppy too!). Whatever happened to these two hot babes, this informed mind wants to know? On the down side of things, this little kitty found out another nutjob ex is back in this evil city, thus prompting a speeded up effort to move south (where the folks are friendlier and rent is cheaper). This town's not big enough for the both of us, and considering how S'attle has been beating up on this one's fragile ego of late, I cannot wait to dance that jig I'm planning the day the moving trucks are moving this one out of town. Counting the days, counting the days. In the mean time, I am intrigued and infatuated with a couple of new cuties who work the counters at my Trader Joe's. Even the one who refused to let me snap a photo for this one's blog. Ah, shyness turns me on so much more than bragging about things one cannot do, or being called by exes one has long since moved on from. Also this one did attend three films at this year's Gay/Lesbian Film Festival, and I can tell the experience was delightful. Especially the sing-a-long for 'Xanadu', which featured a tasty Olivia Newton-John as a muse to a young, starving artist (John Beck in very tight jeans). We'll be singing 'Magic' and 'It's A Lie' until New Years dahlings. Also loved, loved, loved the killer diller Gay horror treat. 'The Gay Bed and Breakfast Of Terror', which had plenty of fright, blood and sexy stuff for everyone's taste. To those of us who were brave enough to sit through the copious displays of gory mayhem, my hat's off to us all! Good stuff, and if this one is ever rentable, honey rent it, if only to see the scene where a pink garbed drag queen offs a killer homophobic Joan Crawford wannabe, calling her a 'tragic bitch'. Laughs, chills and so much more, this one kept me giggling all the way through. Finally, really adored 'Spiderlilies', the moody, romantic, erotic tale of two star-crossed lovers who are drawn together by memories of a tragic past, and one girl's 'spiderlily' tattoo. Absolutely a banquet of woman/woman loving and really bizarre subplots, I hope this one shows up again, so more folks can enjoy it. Okay then, now we're all up to date, I'll share with you some tasty products you should try for yourself. By all means do try Mario Badescu's 'Hyaluronic Eye Cream', which has been making these eyes (which sobbed nearly all night last Sunday, after feeling that this city truly hates me) look really, really good. And try the 'Vitamin A-D-E Neck Cream' by the same maker, both of which (and Napolean Perdis makeup), you can get at Olivine, near the Sunday Farmer's Market in Ballard. And do congratulate the very preggers sales clerk, who might have had her little Scorpio child by the time you read this (brave woman, to actually take on raising one of the horoscope's more difficult signs!). Finally, if you're out this weekend, bumping in the night, then you might want to be wearing 'Alien', by Thierry Mugler'. Sensuous and sexy, this might get you a nod from whatever costume judges you meet and get you a prize for 'most delicious smelling ghoul' in the room. Try it and see. So, that's it for now my little ghosts and goblins, and if you're 'trick or treating' near the number ten bus stop that's near Valu Village, be aware. You might see 'Willard' and his little rodent friends running back and forth, since it seems a village of rats has moved into the bushes at that very stop. Some folks seemed not to mind the little nasties, but this one, honey, being a true femme, cannot stand the little plague carriers, so be warned if you have a fear of rodents, this stop is 'rat central'. In the mean time, do feel free to e-mail me and check out my blog (which seems to be on hold at the moment, while my trusty 'poster' and I get our schedules in sync so I can update the next chapter of 'Young Blues'). E-mail me at ijanaral@yahoo.com, and be safe out there, this weekend and always. Buhbye! |
