Gay, gay, everyday!

So... Denver's Gay Pride Festival turned out to be quite fun after all. I always enjoy the company of my mother and sister, so going with them was a definite plus.
The parade was a bit lacking, as far as floats go. It's hard to compare when you've lived in one of the gayest, proudest and loudest cities in the country for so many years. Most of the floats were just cars filled with the typical drag queen or groups handing out flyer's for some gay organization. Tons of beads and candy was being tossed into the crowd. I was sure I was going to lose an eye at one point, but made sure that my sister got her share of beads, as her day wouldn't have been the same without them. The Parade ended with one of the world's longest pink boas.
We started our morning out with mimosa filled thermoses which we almost finished before we even got downtown for the parade. Oops! My sister and I then moved on to $1.00 Jello shots at a bar that we just happend to be standing in front of during the parade. Oops! Some of the worst jello shots I've ever had! This was the beginning of the end. We were so hungry at this point that we ended up eating at McDonald's. French fries and some chicken wrap thing. Ssshhh! Don't tell!
We finally made it to the Civic Center where all the vendors were selling overpriced crap that no one ever needs. Got more drinks. Oops! Walked around. More drinks. Oops! Some concoction called an "O Face", which turned out to be quite delicious! Another "O Face". Another beer. Yikes! Watched a drag performance. She was dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, singing, If I Only Had A Snatch! So funny I had tears running down my face.

Walked around some more. We started heading towards the bus stop where we needed to catch the bus in order to get home, but instead I dragged my poor mother and my sister into a lesbian bar. More drinks. Oh Lord! My mother ended up doing some sort of electric slide dance to Michael Jackson's Thriller. Awesome. Finally we hopped in a cab and went home, exhausted. I think we all passed out 5 seconds after we got in the door. I woke up this morning with a horrible sunburn which will soon enough be a horrible tan. Great day overall! So glad we decided to go. I can mark that off my list of things I never have to do again!

My darling sister!

GAY!

Heading down to the gay pride festival downtown. A bit afraid! I'm not sure I am ready for all that gay energy in one spot. Denver gays at that! The only reason I am going is because my mom for the most part, attends every year and my sister has never been. If nothing else it will be entertaining! Better start drinking now!!!

World Wide Web

It's such a trip when people you knew in grade/middle school find you on the internet! Where do you even begin with what's happened in your life, and do you even really want to go there with them?

Something About Mary


Notice the trashy, off-shoulder t-shirt! That's how we roll. Homeless, punk rock, squatter babies RULE!

Thank you 1982!



They remind me of Adult.

Sweat'n To The Oldies


Last night I went dancing. Non-stop aerobic-style! Man they played a lot of Michael Jackson. One song would have been enough. Fortunately, I had a plethora of drinks coursing through me, so I didn't mind so much. Unfortunately, today is a reminder of just how much I drank and how I'm no longer in my 20's.

The DAM

I went to the Denver Art Museum yesterday. They added a whole new building that's actually quite beautiful. I never got a picture of the outside though. Here are some pictures I managed to take before security caught on to me and slapped me on the wrist!


I really had to use the bathroom when we got there. Cleanest batroom on the planet!!!




Urinals made from lipstick and wax!


Ties made from lipstick and wax!


Love those nipples!


TOOFLESS!!!


PITBULL BABY!

Awesome condos outside of the museum.

No Sleep 'til Brooklyn!!!

Attempting to take a nap at my mothers house, is much like putting an electric drill through ones own head!!!!!

ITS MUCH HARDER THAN ACTING

I dedicate this video to the lost Tuesday James. I remember how he use to play dress up in the closet. 24 HOURS a day!!!

Lipgloss

The ONLY unique Nina Hagen 1985

Bitter Sweet Symphony


I am in the process of moving to NYC. I decided to stay with my family in denver for the summer in order to save money as well as spend time with them before moving across the country. What a ride it's been. Joyful and stressful at the same time. It's funny the way you start to see your family when you haven't spent days on end with them in years.
THE KEY PLAYERS
1. Mom - Lovely woman, funny, charming. She can turn a simple story into a three hour venture. Stopping to do little chores and starting the story up again right where she left off...whew! Mom, just finish the story already!!!
2. Mothers Boyfriend - Wow! I don't even think he has hit the age of 50, but for some reason he acts as if he just turned 89! Bitter and bitchy, to an extreemely comical point. Is life really that awful? Aparantly for some.
3. Little Sister - Mother of two at the young age of 22, soon to be 23. She's a great mother, recently widowed, sadly. I am not sure she knew what she was getting into. I guess you never do. It's her way or the highway!
4. Nephew - What a babe! He's awesome. Two is the magic number. He will test you until you are seeking tranqalizers on the black market! Love him to pieces.
5. Niece - Five months old. Too smart for her own good, already!!! I swear she is gonna be talking, walking, starting her own band by next week!

Pretty Little Things

Great Acoustic version of something I can't understand!

The Weather Outside is Frightful!!!
