Trifecta of Pride

Drag queens, gay marriage (or at least Karla and me in cut outs), and Debbie Gibson...need I say more about what a wonderful Pride Fest weekend it was?? Probably not, but I will. Denver does Pride right that's for certain. I couldn't get enough of the dance area where I was gang banged by half-naked gay men and kissed by several lesbians. From there I enjoyed funnel cakes and sno cones galore and became an equal rights donor. Ah yes, the trifecta of happiness and Pride Fest can't be topped, I'm still having a drag queen hangover.

Today I'm grateful for my swimsuit, yoga, and my fan.

"Bad" news about King of Pop

I'm still in shock and sad Michael Jackson died yesterday. Mostly for selfish reasons...I have been saving for years to see him in concert and would have killed (or at least threatened to) for tickets to the London shows that were sold out. Madonna and M.J. defined music for me growing up and the scene from Free Willy with his song still gets me teary eyed (nauseating I know). My favorite songs are "Bad" (for obvious reasons I needn't explain), "Man in the Mirror", and lesser known "Liberian Girl."

 

I would venture to say he was the most famous person on Earth. His music even united nations, yes it did and I have proof. When I first moved to Germany as a youngster I didn't know anyone in my tiny town and I started taking a dance class. The instructor must have had some sort of obsession (as most of us did in the 90s) with M.J. because we danced to one of his songs at every class. If it weren't for that common ground I may not have continued taking the class.

All I can say is that Madonna better live to be at least 200 or I don't know if music will ever be the same.
Today I'm grateful for my apt, Millionaire Mind Intensive, and M.J.

Always a bridesmaid...

...never the bride. Everyone knows that saying, but I was thinking...if everyone is always a bridesmaid...why not have a bridesmaid magazine instead of a bride magazine? I think I'm on to something with this. So many useful articles to be created from this idea, here are a few I have been pondering:

-"How do to the chicken dance with style and grace - it is possible!"

-"Where to get your dress altered affordably."

-"To sleep with another member of the bridal party or not - that is the question."

-"Throwing a bachelorette party without strippers...is it possible?"

These topics and more seem just the type important information we "always bridesmaids" need to know during critical times such as the summer months. Currently the new magazine has positions available for writers, editor, sales reps, and bridesmaids.

Today I'm grateful for Levi, returning to my blog, and moved in!!
