Yes yes, we're still on holiday and this is a recording. Yet again time gets away from one, and yet again, I'm away for another milestone....this little ole dump this week turned 12 I was reminded!!!!
Let's Celebrate!!!!!!
Twelve years ago today, my good friend and sister Mame, AKA David Dust inspired me to start blogging, and I never thought 12 years later I'd still be doing it, or people would still be reading. I can still remember, David, Coco De Mere, the Dogs Mother and Mark in Delaware were my first readers, followed by the likes of the Empress, Cali Boi and Pearly Gates, and most of them are still here!!! They deserve awards just for that!!! Over the years, my blog has helped me open up and not be so shy about my body. At one time I was only comfortable in drag. It also serves as a diary of sorts, so one day I can look back and see what was I doing then. While I still feature and share post about fellow drag queens, and drag related things, we have branched out to feature everything but the kitchen sink, as I enjoy a myriad of things to share and thoughts to put out there. Or just my silly non sense that makes Duchess Deedles say Huh? Since then we have talked about a ton of sex, seen many houseboys, had to many headers to mention, went on many trips, and have seen many a Buster and bird post. But to be precise we have seen...118 Buster appearances, 638 drag queens and related post, that's AOT of Aqua Net and Lashes y 'all…. we visited the Candy Shop 289 times and have seen 51 houseboys and 413 hunks. That's a lot of cock y' all!!! The biggest surprise to come out of this over the years, is just how many of you I have met, which I never expected to meet anyone over a blog. Now that is cool. And those people have turned into good, swell friends. But then I feel like I know everybody that stops in here, and in a way, you all are like my extended circle of friends. So.... here I am, 12 years later, and heading toward 2.7 million page visits. Makes me wonder who is reading all these musings and limericks of a middle aged gay queen? But I do know I'm grateful to have met you all. Your comments always make my day. But for now....grab a cock-a-tail....
LET'S CELEBRATE...BOTTOMS UP BITCHES!!!!!!
And this song fits our theme, one of my favorites..... so lets dance with Queen Madge. I only hope I can move that good at that age. I may try some of these moves at tea dance tonight.
I get to be the first to congratulate you on the milestone! Yeeeaay! Come on, admit it: You're fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHave a boner of a time at the dance. Enjoy the remainder of the vacay. Warmest hugs from out West.
:-) xoxoxoxo :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogoversary, Mistress, and may you have many, many more! My 11th blogoversary is coming up next month and I'm wondering what I should write for it -- I may steal your "stats roundup" idea because it's interesting! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDebra, in my humble opinion, you should draw something special. You've got the talent and creative mind enough to pull it off.
DeleteYaaay! Happy anniversary!!!
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note, this blog helped me understand drag and that part of our LGBTQ family. I didn't understand the differences between drag, cross dressing, mtf trans people etc. This blog helped me understand and enjoy the theatrics of it and about the people behind it.. so thanks princess! ;)
Happy anniversary, mistress! Gosh. 12 years! I only found your blog a few months ago, I've missed so much. Never mind.
ReplyDeleteI shall pour a large Parma violet gin with ice and tonic and drink to your health, happiness and the continuation of your blog. Xx
violet gin? DO TELL! the mistress and I LOVE gin!
DeleteHaha. Really!! It's PARMA VIOLET GIN!! It's gorgeous!
DeleteIf I could send you some I would. I'm sure one of the mistresses house boys could source some. X
I agree violet gin sounds lovely! I'm sure the mistress will find it. Hes part bloodhound after all.
DeleteAgnes dear, forgive me but I think you misspelled boozehound! Lol
DeleteDAMMIT! we don't have this lovely booze! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
DeleteHappy 12th, Maddie! I really don't remember when I found your blog. I remember jumping off of Bob Slatten's sidebar thingy and into a history of drag. It was fascinating. Seems I've always been here. I don't know when I got comfortable enough to make a nuisance of myself by commenting, but I've always felt welcomed. Thanks for that, and the Duchess thing :) By the way, which of your good friends are swelling? That can be dangerous!
ReplyDeleteI know I've been reading your blog for at least 6 years....you always make me day and I'm thinking it's time you get back here!!!! As as far as Madonna, I love that song and video....I look much like her dancing in it, but of course I'm is from old age shakes!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
Well, Its My Pleasure, to read your blog and enjoy the Journey as It is told by You, My Dear.
ReplyDeleteHugs from the Deep Deep South

WOO HOO! one dozen years! I am glad to call you my friend; you are SO fabulous!
ReplyDeletePS - I just watched the madge video; reminds me of the old days in the 80s
Deletemadge looks great in that video.
DeleteI guess I'm the only one who finds that video a little creepy, huh? Oh well, wouldn't be the first time. Not even remotely being a fan of Madonna (blech), I've never heard this song or seen this video. Still haven't seen it all the way thru. The dancing is just too creepyfying! I shall take my wet blanket self away from this joyous celebration. Celebration? Wait, Kool and the Gang! Okay, celebrating with my own groove thang.
Delete12 years???? You practically one of those old blogger dinosaurs. Congrats you old bitch.
ReplyDeleteAnd are you back yet??????
Love that you included the celebration video, the song you went out of drag on. That brought the house down.
ReplyDeleteNow on to 12 more years. Have I really been reading you that long!?!?!?!?
What was it about the era 2006-7 that drew so many of us towards blogging? You, me, Peenee, Mistress MJ and many in our "inner circle" all started pouring our strange random thoughts into the ether around that time...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your milestone, dear!
Now when are you going to stop being on holiday..?
Jx
it must be similar to that of the gang of the algonquian round table, I'm guessing?
DeleteHappy blogiversary! I can't believe it's been that long! Most of the blogs I read are long folded up. Seems tgat most hit a 7,8 10 year hold then that's it. Your one of my favorite spots on the web. Many more to come!
ReplyDeleteAnd ps.GET BACK HERE! How much sand and surf can one get?
HappyHappy Blogiversary, MM!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my got- stops in the blog-o-verse!
Happy Anniversary! You always brighten my day with such visual delights. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm a pretty newcomer here, but I have enjoyed what I've seen. You intrigue me creature. Congratulations on making it twelve whole years. Most blogs I used to read never got near that.
ReplyDeleteTwelve years!!! - congratulations, That really is an achievement.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you sum it all up. There are many of aspects that I enjoy about this place, the drag and your love and support of it, your trips and your nature posts. It's a relief to go somewhere, where their isn't the woo's me of the news and current events. I can go anywhere for that, so you always get my attention. I adore you my sweets.I also enjoy the fact that many here interact, which is refreshing.... make blogging friends from all around the world - that has to be good.
And I have no doubt your parting with the boys with champagne just like that. Your never allowed to end this blog. And we also need more pictures of you, wink!
ReplyDeleteyes 12 years. does this mean im getting a raise?
ReplyDeleteshe'll probably throw you an old used jock strap and tell you to get back to work.
DeleteOh dear, Anne Marie. Now I somehow have a picture in my head of Anitia on her knees scrubbing jock straps using a washboard and bucket! Can't seem to put it in a more modern setting :) I suppose she could multitask since she's on her knees anyway.
DeleteI think we should have celebrated with a lovely shot of your cakes???? We want cake! Congrats on 12 years...Im a sorry excuse when it comes to blogging. I too have learned a lot, on any different things.
ReplyDeleteFor a twelfth anniversary your to gift silk.
ReplyDeleteShall I tie you up with silk scarves?
It's only been 12 years? I came in for the last 5? Seems like 20 years. I really should have made you a nice torte or something, but hell, your not back yet. More for the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, you minx
Twelve years of documented drag and fucking filth! And you don't look a day over 101 with the work you've had done.
ReplyDeleteYour my muse Mistress!!!!! You have no idea how you brought me out of a shell. I know I have enjoyed myself a lot of these years. Congratulations, 12 years of drag, men, houseboys, nature, trips, filth, eccentric post, culture, drunken debauchery, recipes, music, and those neighbors of yours. Never stop.
ReplyDeleteOMG happy bday! 🎉🎉. Os is it blogday?
ReplyDeleteI think your blog is fab. But 12 years need to be celebrated!
Here’s for twelve more!
XoXo
Happy Anniversary and dozens more to come.
ReplyDeleteMaddie you don’t look a day over 6! Congratulations on another year. Though I’m relatively new to the party I’m glad it’s still going on. Your escapades are legend. Here’s to many more cock... I’ll let you finish that however you want. 😉
ReplyDeleteAt this point, it's like McDonalds. Over a millions served!
DeleteMany congratulations to you, Maddie!! Here's to 12 more, at least!!
ReplyDeleteSx
Bottom up, indeed.
ReplyDeleteStopping by to wish you a most wonderful weekend. Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate.
ReplyDelete🍸🎉🎊🎈🍾
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary, maddie. In addition to being gay, I wrestle sometimes with GD, especially in the summertime. I don't wrestle with it enough to do anything about it, but it's always kind of there. Now, I know GD is not what motivates most drag queens, probably doesn't motivate you, and I accept that, but I'd like to think that at some level we're kindred spirits.
ReplyDelete12 years! Congratulations and thank you for being here! But I hope Google doesn't find out they allowed you to start your blog when you were only 14! Don't they have age restrictions?
ReplyDeleteHappy 12th Blogiversary! That is quite an accomplishment, Maddie. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI want to join the conga line of congratulations! may there we 12 years more.
ReplyDeleteOkay, enough is enough! I don't mean to whine, but when are you coming back? The houseboys are exhausted! At least the ones that I'm in charge of are. Poor babies are in a corner sucking their...thumbs! They are going to need an all expense paid cruise to recuperate. Get on the stick, lady!
