MOOD-PRIDE

 

Amazing picture above courtesy of Preston. Amazing and thank you cutie! This weekend found me in New York City for Pride, after a three-year absence because of the pandemic. The last one for me was the 50th Anniversary of Stonewall, which was a blow out of an epic event. Which was good to tide us over not knowing then that would be the last because of the plaque. And after last week's SCOTUS bombshell, it put me in a right pissy and angry mood. I'm sure my blood pressure was through the roof, and I was seriously coming close to not even attending festivities. But with that abortion decision, I knew deep down now is not the time to forgo a Pride Festival or Parade. We must not let our guard down and make them think these Prides are not worth our time. We may have a battle and I'll be ready to rumble and join a riot if I must and show all politicians we are not to be trifled with. I did promise my clan I would make the Mistress come for a Friday appearance. I also would have felt bad had my man friend Charles went up by himself too. It was a blast!!!!! I have to admit it was the first time I ever did drag in the Village. I could swear I could almost hear Marsha whispering. I'm here to tell ya, the queens were out in full force...packed streets and the best part? Planned Parenthood and pro-abortion groups were bumped to the beginning of the parade and opened it!!!! It was great to see them and the LBGT join forces. A friend of mine also caught the Madonna concert...and said bitch delivered it! Some scenes from the Pride weekend....

Charles!

Adored this motley crew awaiting to gain access to their float. 

I also went to Rockefeller Center, which I generally avoid, but must admit...loved all the gay pride flags flapping in the breeze.

Lovely

Not to worry...you know I got me some thirst traps. Literally.

Our clan's bartender, Greg, at Pieces Bar. WOOF!

And these two, well.... one was kind of enough to let me act out my stalking and take his picture. The guy above even was a good sport and let me squeeze his legs. I said legs. And then this thirst trap...
 Saturday night was my night to play and have fun. I'm glad I went for the reasons I stated, and it was good to be around friends and others to get me out of my angry funk. Though today was exhausting** 

And of course, this was happening*... 


So, there was that.

*makes mental note to never contour again. Christ, my nose looks like LaToya Jackson. Although I still might be tied to a stake.

** read that as I was hung and had a very long lie in and lounge today.

  1. Great post! Glad you had fun. I didn't even notice your nose until you pointed it out. But yowza, what has once been seen, cannot be unseen, you're right!

    1. I can't tell you how good it felt to be back after a three year absence. And there was an air of Anne Marie in my head.

  2. Love the photos. The florals are wonderful!
    LaToya would die to have that nose!

  3. Honey, your hot in and out of drag. I always did like the wig on you. I'm sure any of those thirst traps would impale you on their stake!!!! Great pictures. I miss Pride in New York. But you not only have fun, but also go for the right reasons and I feel respectful of the true meaning.

    1. You spilled the beans! I do have fun for Pride and at some point, always get very introspective.

  4. LOL! I figured you be doing a day of lounging and relaxing. It was a excellent weekend and it was good to have us all back together again. My two take aways-

    1- I'm never doing wig duty again, but will help you tuck, and 2- Never lending you my voice again, I hate hearing it!!!

  6. "Disarm Hate" That's what struck me as I scrolled through your photos. That's exactly what the rainbow flags stand for.
    Glad you've been out and about. Xx

  10. Marvelous. Dance it, kiss it, fuck it, drink it, march it, say it, dress it, do it. And they say NYC was NEVER the same! Glad you got out and had a lovely time, dear. Make the most of every day. Kizzes.

  11. OMG FUN!
    Love, love, LOVE! The pics! Such a fantastic vibe. I also went to Pride here in Chi and had a blast. Planned Parenthood also had a thunderous applause and there were many signs with the 'get your government off my tubes' sentiment.
    Queers united will never be silenced. Let's make some NOISE!
    XOXO

    p.s. the thirst traps? Yes, please!

    Tundra Bunny here.... Wow! Attending New York City's Pride Parade must be akin to seeing Carnaval in Rio or Mardi Gras in New Orleans.... looks like a good time was had by all. You were in fine form too, Mistress Maddie -- love your glamorous blonde wig and sunglasses!

    1. Thank you, Tundra. I'm so glad I kept a handful of wigs, and you so don't want to know how many sunglasses I have....

      I was a great Pride. And one more to go in July.

  20. I didn't get to any prides this year. And have yet to do a NYC pride. And Charles? Is this a new "man friend"? Sounds like it was a blast, and nice that you were able to salvage a mood after the court ruling. That ruined many a weekend Im guesting.

  21. Happy Gay Pride! We too made a point to go to a few gay prides this year also. I feel it is more important then ever. The flags at Rockefeller Center are fun. Loved that video. And what's not to love about thirst traps? The one had nice legs huh? And yes I caught that. I said LEGS! All three right?
