Can't imagine the condition the inside is in with the elements by now taking effect inside. Such a shame. I have no idea what is fate is/will be. I feel sorry for it.

But I always enjoy talking to them, Shame some of the younger ones don't take the time to learn of their history and surroundings. Yes, some of these queens aren't playing with a full deck and live in the past, but I love to spend time with them , even if I have to put up with an advance or two!!!! Just shows they are still feeling their oats.Mistress Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098940220513091207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-63153485759255849142016-08-18T19:45:29.825-04:002016-08-18T19:45:29.825-04:00I have LONG thought the same thing.

All of which seemed to meet either sudden tragic deaths or agonizingly long AIDS deaths in the mid to late 1980s. The 1970s somehow embraced the prominent gays but imprisoned them at the same time. A product of the era he imprisoned himself in this grand old home as it obviously deteriorated around him.
