MOOD BOARD

 Well.... we are on another Monday morning. The weekend whizzed by. Since this was one of my only few weekends at home I spent most of the time out in the garden, sweltering in the heat. I think I lost 5 lb just from sweat. Which is probably good, this being a 3-day work week before I depart for holiday time. After all I have a reputation to withhold and get my cakes into a pair of square cuts. I did gather everything to pack and gathered with the clan for Happy Hour Saturday night. I'm also happy to report Sophie didn't eat any birds.

WORLD PRIDE

By far my favorite snap from the day!

 So two weeks ago, the Clan was attending World Pride, and I ended up going unexpectedly for day. While maybe not as attended as the New York World Pride several years back, this was the 50th Anniversary of Pride and in the nation's capital. The final word was the event was attended by over 2 million from around the globe. An event as much as a celebration of LBGTQ and resilience as it was a call to action amidst heightened political tension. It was the global epicenter of Pride, solidarity and activism. The day I was there, there were independant marches, concerts and many events from short films, documentaries and immersive exhibits to view, to street festivals, and protest. And many groups to march with in the streets to promote equality in the country, thanks to those Stonewall rioters. And it's worth remembering that Pride began as a radical act of protest, and this history is more relevant than ever today. It was a long day and am I getting exhausted from Prides...I'm getting there, but I feel it's my duty to get out there be seen and attend so many Prides that I'm able too. I have to admit it was an exuberant feeling to walk to solemn marches and be part of our history to honor those who paved the way and push our visibility for a future where freedom is universal. Some of my snaps for the day.

This old bitch, Bianca Del Rio

Preston and boyfriend Anthony...in a touching yet hot capture! They were serving more cake that Tastykake, and legs that a bucket of chicken.

 

Two more Prides to go yet...New York City and Harrisburg.

I should be breaking wind with glitter by now.

IN THREE WORDS

In this weekly feature, I'll share a guest with you all each week, 

and you tell me in only three words what come to mind.

PRIDE INTERTUDE-EsTITTIES!

It takes a lot for a drag queen to stay relevant and known. And honey I'm here to tell you drag gal pal Salina EsTitties is going strong, dropping fairly entertaining music as only Salina can deliver with her trademark comedic side and over the top drag, serving exciting live shows all over the US while still keeping it local, will be headlining the New York City Pride later this month, not to mention preparing to mark her territory in Podcast land regularly...and was just named LA's Most Entertaining Drag Queen of the Year. She is a survivor who had to overcome many hardships to where she is today, including finding regular gigs. Just because you're on Drag Race doesn't automatic seal your future anymore, and she is right. In the earlier days up to season 9 you were automatically going to become a legend. Now? Now it's so oversaturated it's easy to get forgotten and lost in a very crowded and noisy field even if you do well, not to mention, the seasons and All-Stars come so fast and so many, fans can't keep up anymore and filler queens are even at this point not even memorable. But you'll never forget Salina EsTitties! Show this bitch some love kids! And if he keeps working on his male self, I told him I may jump him! 

Case in point....BOOTZ!
