GLAMPING POSTCARDS

My walk of shame walk back to my site at 6am.

Some glamping postcards! Last weekend found me at the Woods campground hosting the Drag Me To the Woods weekend, where everyone who wanted to do drag could do so, and they hosting a huge dance party in the clubhouse that night. Over hundred people donned drag! It was a good weekend as usual in this slice of gay fairy land.

Fort Dix, the naughty bath house head shed as I call it! I wouldn't know ANYTHING about what goes on in there of course.

The drag party and just some of the queens! Yours truly is off dead center in the black and sky high piled blond wigs under the left Woods sign. Never mind two wigs on and it was over 90 degress!!! But some of these guys were a hoot and we camp queens helped them with drag.

And then there was this tall, towering drink of water! I asked how tall he was, and he said "Well Madam, I'm 6'9" tall. I said, " Well...never mind the 6 feet,, let's talk about the 9 inches." You'd be surprised how much room there was in that little tent for two. If that was" roughing it", I'll see him again!!!

This Novus team is always there at the Woods on weekends, sponsored by the campground and they do free HIV and STD testing, and mind you free PREP! I think it's great and nice to see many taken advantage of it's services.

This was about the time I had a nice pew , sat and contemplating and was thinking how I will hate going back to work after such a long vacation. But here it is Thursday and I all most made it!

BEACH LIFE

The first vacation of the summer season is always the hardest one to return to reality from, especially if it's at a beach location. This summer the first vacation was to the very gay friendly Rehoboth Beach with the clan and Capital Street Duo. Well...the first extended stay for a peroid of time since Memerioal day. It was long overdue since the last vacation to Barbados...and much needed after such a long stretch, and the sometimes-stressful world we live in these days. Most day were filled with just relaxing on the beach, and a little shopping... which the nights were filled with dinners and hot spots around town for us social gays. The weather couldn't have been better, with only two days of rain. But the beach is always a good spot for me. I always feel like a spent a week at a day spa when I return. First the vitamin D is good for you for a certain period of time, I always feel healthier looking when I take in some sun and feel the warmth on my skin, and the beach is incredibly invigorating because it engages your senses in a scientifically proven way to reset your brain and body. The ocean air is packed with negative ions that boost serotonin, and accelerate your ability to absorb oxygen, which stabilizes your mood, feelings of well-being and happiness. The sea view induces a meditative state known as Blue Mind, and the rhythmic waves act as a calming pink noise. Not to mention walks in sand and the sand rubbing your skin in the waves, acts like a natural exfoliator. I have been going to Rehoboth since the early 90's and have yet ever tire of it. Plus we got to see our friends who own the guest house we stay in. I later saw them at the Woods a week later as they also have a site there. Here are some snaps from around Rehomo...

My own private balcony at the guest house. Nice for a small, happy hour before heading out. We met a swell and fun lesbian couple staying at the house too, and man were they fun. We all exchanged numbers and have been keeping in touch. They will be joining us at the house back in October for Sea Witch.

The gratuitous rabbit picture for Tundra Bunny. I don't know what was going on, but I'd never seen so many rabbits about!!! At night especially, they were skittering about everywhere. On one walk we counted upwards of 65 bunny sightings.

Speaking of beach bunnies.

The legendary Blue Moon...the place to see and be seen for happy hour and this place gets packed from wall to wall and eventually spills out and over on to the sidewalk! If you want a rich man, this is the place to meet one kids. I'll be going back in August to catch up with that old cow Lady Bunny who's will be there with her show, Big Wig Energy.

One of my favorite place to dine, Houston-White Co.

And this place kids....well, it's where I get some of my, ohhhh, huh, houseboys from!!!! I met three guys, one from Turkey, one from Romania and another from Cypress. Not to mention danced my ass off. I have yet been disappointed.

And people wonder why I don't want to return from the beach.

MOOD BOARD

While we may have gotten over the shock of realizing it was indeed Monday from the previous post, we are still none too happy to be back to work on a Monday...for a... gulp, full week yet! It is always hard to come from a vacation when it's been at the beach. I know many people have shock over not working any more when they retire....but shit, I have so many interests and places to be and things to being doing, I will be looking forward to retirement! Granted years to go yet....sigh......

Let's all have a Happy Monday!
