Terminally Delightful

My mister and I at the "Meet & Greet" after BenDeLaCreme's
show "Terminally Delightful".

Yes, Drag Queens are my guilty pleasure (sans the guilt). We all had such an absolutely wonderful time at the show. I couldn't possibly think of a better way to spend an evening than filling it with friends, laughter, music, camp, apple martinis, and a terminally delightful queen.

On another note... someone please remind me to turn the flash back on on my cellphone so that the next round of pictures aren't so pinkified!

Aries: March 21 - April 20

Joy and Sorrow are twins who often walk the same road together. A traveler must get to fully know one of them to understand the other. Don't be discouraged if one lingers longer than desired. His brother is never too far behind.

Taurus: April 21 - May 21

Making decisions is actually very easy for you. Taking action on those decisions, however... You need to stop questioning your gut. You've been right far more often than not, and so what if you're wrong? Stop being a stubborn bull.

Gemini: May 22 - June 21

You want a change in your life. You desire new things, new love, new experiences, but you wake up every morning and do the same exact thing you did yesterday. See the problem?

Cancer: June 22 - July 22

You've let good people walk out of your life because you choose not to be there for them, like they had always been there for you. That was your choice, so stop blaming them for it.

Leo: July 23 - August 22

Belief in yourself is a wonderful gift, and essential for success. Spread some of that around. Help others find that strength within themselves too. You'll shine brighter for it as well.

Virgo: August 23 - September 22

What does your future hold? You worry about tomorrow constantly, but don't you think it would be more prudent to turn that anxious energy into something more productive... like a plan? Just sayin'.

Libra: September 23 - October 23

The weather has been wondrously rainy the past few days. It's a great time to hide away from the world, cuddle up under a blanket with a good book and lose yourself somewhere far far away...

Scorpio: October 24 - November 22

What has holding onto resentment brought you? Has it brought you wealth? joy? abundance? or just an upset stomach and an aneurysm? Let... it... go.

Sagittarius: November 23 - December 21

Where do you picture yourself in five years? in ten? Make a plan. It doesn't need to be set in stone, but everyday you should be taking at least one step closer to that dream.

Capricorn: December 22 - January 20

There's nothing wrong with celebrating a quiet, solitary life. Peace and tranquility are easier to maintain without anybody else's bullshit adding to your own. However, the world is full of wonder and life. Don't close it out.

Aquarius: January 21 - February 19

Let your body and spirit recharge. They are tired, and deserve their rest. You give and give and do and do, but even the Olympics take a four year break. Relax.

Pisces: February 20 - March 20

Let the day take you today where ever it wishes. Adventure is in the stars for you, so step outside and dance for awhile.

Horoscopes: 05.12.14

Aries: March 21 - April 20

Bits of light and darkness exist in everyone, but you can choose which one of the two to foster and feed. What type of deeds do you want to be remembered by?

Taurus: April 21 - May 21

Sentimentality can often force us to linger in moments or places that we need to move passed. The heart can move forward, and loses nothing in doing so.

Gemini: May 22 - June 21

Love is not really that complicated. Often our natures refuse to comprehend how simple unconditional love really can be. It just is. It requires nothing. Demands nothing. Let go of the obstacles your stubbornness is creating, and... just... be.

Cancer: June 22 - July 22

Ever notice how rainbows always make themselves known after a storm? You just need to know where to look. Sometimes, you can even see them while the storm still rages. Again, you just need to know where to look...

Leo: July 23 - August 22

You have the right to achieve your goals. The only thing that has been preventing you is your expectation that it should be easy.

Virgo: August 23 - September 22

Staring at a wall in the hopes that it will miraculously gain a window rarely works. So, you can either... (a) make a hole in the wall yourself for said window, or (b) find a wall that already has a window. Either way, the view improves.

Libra: September 23 - October 23

There is nothing wrong with enjoying a few "sinful" treats every once in awhile. I won't tell.

Scorpio: October 24 - November 22

Your anger has always made you feel powerful, because you have wielded it like a weapon. Weapons have no loyalty and can easily be turned back onto the wielder.

Sagittarius: November 23 - December 21

You want to bring change into your life. Start small. Believe in yourself and in your ability to manifest those changes. Clear away anything that no longer serves your goal. You are not stuck... you are simply not moving.

Capricorn: December 22 - January 20

You have been desperately trying to convince yourself that you have no control over your circumstances. You almost believe that, but somewhere... deep down... is a little voice inside you screaming at the top of its lungs that you're full of shit.

Aquarius: January 21 - February 19

The amazing thing about the brain is that it never gets full. Learn something new this week... no matter how random or bizarre you might think it is. Think of it as another adventure. You like those.

Pisces: February 20 - March 20

You need to find a quiet place to recharge your inner battery. You've been pulling from it and pulling from it to the point that it is almost drained. Refuel. Recharge. Renew.

"Meet & Greet" at The Inevitable Concert with Jinkx Monsoon and Major Scales.

Once again, another amazing evening filled with song, laughter and cocktails. Jinkx and Major performed songs from their recently released "The Inevitable Album" (available on iTunes). I have absolutely fallen in love with their cabaret-styled shows, and can't seem to ever get enough of them now. My only regret (and it's a minor one) is that they didn't perform "Witchcraft". It's always been one of my favorite songs. Other than that, my husband and I were simply blown away by their show. Jinkx has a wondrous voice is simply such a natural performer.

On another note: The "Meet & Greet" area had, apparently, recently been repainted an overwhelming shade of pink at the Beechman. It, unfortunately, seems to make everything and everyone else within it also appear to be the same shade of pink. The effects, thankfully, were not permanent and Brighton and I returned to our natural hues shortly after leaving the area.

2013 was the year of Drag Queens for us. Brighton and I saw so many drag shows. Pandora Boxx popped my Drag Queen cherry, and from that moment on it was onto Alaska Thunderfuck, Jinkx Monsoon, and Rupaul's Drag Race: Battle of the Seasons. This year the "tradition" continues, but we've added a few concerts to our lineup too...

Horoscopes: 05.05.14

Aries: March 21 - April 20

Storms are meant to test our resolve. When they seem never-ending and all-encompassing... remember that you are made up of both stone and stardust. You can choose to either resist the storm, or be taken up with it and fly.

Taurus: April 21 - May 21

Fight that little inner voice of yours that keeps telling you "No", "You are not good enough", "You are not worthy" or that you are unloved. Unfortunately, we tend to believe what we tell ourselves. Flip the script. Every time you see your face in the mirror say "Yes, I am worthy." Start with that.

Gemini: May 22 - June 21

Yesterday is gone. It's troubles went with it. Today is here. Live in it, with it. Don't judge it by the bitterness left by another day's passing.

Cancer: June 22 - July 22

Surround yourself with bright colors, and the simple things that bring you joy. It's a gift to be able to find bliss so easily.

Leo: July 23 - August 22

There will always be wolves at the door. That will never change. However, if we learn to look for the lights, no matter how dark it gets... we will always find lanterns shinning bright to guide us home.

Virgo: August 23 - September 22

We take a step, and we fall. We get up again, and we fall again. We rise. We fall. Again. And again. Stop believing you will always fall. Believe instead that you can fly, and you will stop stumbling.

Libra: September 23 - October 23

You love to plan things out to perfection. Having a flawlessly lined out agenda can be a comfort blanket, no doubt. What's the worse that could happen if you got rid of those plans, and just let the wind take control for once? I'll give you a hint... it's called an "adventure".

Scorpio: October 24 - November 22

You cannot continue to avoid taking responsibility for your past actions. Yes, the past is the past. Move on. However, you can't move on until you've accepted your part in the consequences that your actions or lack of action produced. Truth.

Sagittarius: November 23 - December 21

Anxiety is an old friend. It shows up at your door uninvited, with a backpack and some snacks. It intends on staying, however the length of its visit is entirely up to you. It can stay just for dinner, or it can become a roommate.

Capricorn: December 22 - January 20

Negativity disrupts all other energies around it. Doubt. Fear. Anxiety (see Sagittarius). Resentment. Jealousy. Every time your life has come to a standstill, one of these idiots was to blame. Thing is, you're smart enough to see that... so, why has it become a cycle? A simple "No" can begin to change a lifelong pattern.

Aquarius: January 21 - February 19

Plan a trip with yourself for a change. The world will not come crashing down if you let everyone handle their own business for once. Where shall you go? A museum? A gallery? A zoo? A beach? Your soul needs a recharge. It's perfectly fine to let it have one. No one else's approval is required.

Pisces: February 20 - March 20

Precious little fishie, what have you done? You've neglected your chores, the demands the world has placed on your shoulders, your family's expectations and even fate's decree. Good for you!
