Some friends think Im nuts to waste my drive of going to P-town, instead of going to my other beach haunt, Rehoboth Beach. But I can be there in 2 hours and go anytime. I think the reason I'm so drawn to Provincetown; is it offers some natural beaches while having a superb town life. The quaintness and vibe of the town reminds me very much of my dear New Hope. So, to me it basically feels like New Hope in a beach locale. Not only the scenery makes it fun and picturesque, but it's the people who make the vibe for me, and much like New Hope, it's the one place where gays are accepted without blinking an eye, it has a huge gay community, many gay-owned business, and everyone, gay or not, all gets along. The one thing I like is you never know who you'll see, or what you'll see and guess what? No one fucking cares. Like in the previous post, if you're into drag queens, then this is the town for you!!! This trip we caught the hilarity of Varla Jean's show as well as Thirsty Burlington's. Thirsty is bring the house down too. No small feat as he has had a time and happily beating cancer. I dare say she was better than ever. Of course we also saw Miss Richfield and her antics all over town on her Vespa. Some of the characters and other sights encountered on this episode....
The Gaslamp Inn. I highly recommend them. The host is very friendly and attentive, and our room was so cute.
Loved this queen's A Starry Night look.
An afternoon soiree at Pearly's. She clearly said casual dress. My clan. I bet you all have a time guessing which is moi? And you can see my vacation dick I brough along.
I promised I'd show you a big cock at attention.
There's always time for a cock-a-tail!!!!
And when I told you, you never what you'll see...

VARLA!!!!
A cute bear couple during Bear Week. Bear one got major princess points from me for wearing heels alone.
The fabulous town legend Thirsty Burlington.
Loves me a library.
Lovely hostess with the hostess. But who was watching the Pearly Gates?!?!
Paige Turner
One night a friend of Pearly's invited us all down to the beach for a camp out of eating and drinking. It was a blast and a wonderful time, just talking, hanging out and hearing the ocean and being under the stars. Never experienced a fire on the beach before. One guy named Timmy Sparkles put on a fun show too.
If you have been to P-town and spent any time there, then you understand all too well how the feeling of leaving is not a nice feeling. It's always hard to get going, and on the road, but I already made some promises to return in late summer or early fall. Now if I could just win the lottery, like a couple million, I'd just live the life of Riley, and drift beaches all day.
Seems like the fun never stops! And that's how it should be.
ReplyDeleteSound like your having fun.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Life is a banquet...and some poor suckers are starving. So enjoy life.
DeleteWhat a lovely vactaion! Great pictures, Thank you for sharing! I really like that metal cock, even though it's not something I would normally finding myself admiring, but they did such a nice job on the metalwork and paint!
ReplyDeleteI knew you were a size queen. LOL!
DeleteTwo things:
ReplyDelete#!: looks like a lovely, well, fabulous getaway. I love a man in shorts and heels!
#2: thank you for the card about Max. You know how we feel about our little family. It meant so much to us. 💗💗💗
💋💋💋💋
DeleteOMG!!!!! You guy look fierce!!!!! And as usual, I see you kept it understated with a small hat. The whole trip looks fantastic. Glad you and vacation dick had a chance to, well...enjoy each other we'll say. And Mama Pearly look fabulous. You bitches love your sunglasses.
ReplyDeleteHow fun it all is! Now should we go here of Fire Island first?!?!? LOVES the group picture. You all have nice gams. But what we want to know was that bed big enough for you two and four other guys?
ReplyDeleteMust you give all my secrets and details out?!?!?
Deleteomg! This brings back such fond memories. Haven't been in years and it's the one thing I miss about the US. This post and the other I enjoyed very much, and it appears to have changed very little.
ReplyDeleteThirsty Burlington?!?! Love that name! I believe you did a post on her once .
Damn hennny...you girls got more leg than a bucket of chicken, gurrrrrrrrl.
ReplyDeleteYou go Pearl with those glasses.
I see Pam Demic made it to the coast.
ReplyDeletePam Demic seems to be all over more than the Covid
DeleteTundra Bunny here.... I'm betting you're the one sporting the big floppy hat, cool sarong and clear hooker heels, though I don't know you all that well, LOL!
ReplyDeleteMy hooker heels and church hats always give me away.
DeleteLooks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the photos of your time there. I have never been and you are doing a great job of highlighting all of the fun things to do. You should work for the Chamber of Commerce or the P-Town Tourism Board because you promote it well! So glad that you had an awesome time.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I started enjoying blogging Gabriel. I enjoyed seeing other peoples travels and posts of where they lived to see what out there. I read alot of blog about people's daily lives.
DeleteAw. It looks like you've had a blast! Some gorgeous photos on this post and the last.
ReplyDeleteHolidaying is so important isn't it. It makes every day at work worthwhile.
I have big admiration for the bears in heels! I live in flats all year round. Comfort first.😁
I'm out of the country for a few days. Catch up soon. X
If I ever get back to the UK...Im wearing one of my hats in your fabulous garden.
DeleteEnjoy your trip Christina.
Oooo. You'd be so welcome. Just give me plenty of notice as I will have to order the gin tanker!
DeleteExcellent photos. Makes me want to be there. You know how to vacation and you know how to share it! (You’re on the right in black and white.)
ReplyDeletePlease don't revoke my membership, I have never been there.
ReplyDeleteI was highly shocked you've never been there. But you have had some very fabulous trip my dear.
DeleteGive up going to P-town? Why, for goddesses sake? It's iconic! And you have proven that year after year. Love me a good fire on the beach at night.... Did ya roast any wienies? I bet you did!!
ReplyDeleteMore like sank a few wienies. Choked on one.
DeleteI'm glad you had a fun time. I'm like you. If I win the lottery I'm retiring so I can move to somewhere close to the beach. Vegas works, too.
ReplyDeleteHow do you keep that 'at on? it looks as though it ought to blow away with the slightest breeze
ReplyDeleteNever Go Walking Out Without Your Hat Pin, my dear. Jx
DeleteJon is correct! Several hat pins with pearl drops at the ends...what with a stiff beach breeze. Why, I could have become the flying nun.
DeleteOh, honey. The HUGE hat and the legs give you away.
ReplyDeleteDamn that's a hot group. I may be in dire need of some Vacation Dick, BTW.
I was just reading about the story of Provincetown and Fire Island (I got interested after I watched the Fire Island movie) and it's fascinating. Queer havens. There's no comparison with other hangouts.
Varla Jean is a national treasure (I really dig her as a daddy, natch). And I've hang out with Miss Richfield. A riot.
So much fun!
XOXO
Your right about them being no comparison to other cities, except with the Castro, of course at being a very high gay locale. Fire Island is very nice and fun...WAY more debauchery by far, Im a complete fucking whore there...but it can be a bit clicky with the jock and so-called A-list gays...but stunning architecture and vistas. Not a place I would go by myself or a friend. A big group is by far more fun, whereas P-town is far more welcoming no matter your LGBTQ or how outlandish one wants to be. Way more quaint, and eccentric, and in P-town you could go by yourself, and many will welcome you in quicker than on Fire Island. I enjoy both, but I enjoy Ptown a tad more. Way more to do and see also. Ptown is also more affordable as far as motels or B&B's. I met and became acquainted with Miss R in Rehoboth Beach over 15 years ago...she is nuts!!!! And Varla...that bitch is built like one huge hairy tank!!!!!
DeleteLooks like a simply faboo time was had by all! Or was that just you, dear..?
ReplyDeleteA plethora of heels, feathers, fouf and faff! Jx
After the four original gin and tonics, it was all a blur.....
DeleteMost lovely ever! WOW. Queen... you do it up right. That's an MFing getaway! You did it all - and looked fabulous the entire time! Incredible pics. Now? I want to go. Oh, and did Varla lose weight??? My word. Thanks for sharing all this. I am just speechless and I feel like I WAS there... kizzes.
ReplyDeleteLose weight?!?!?! Varla is built like a mother fucking tank. And she is one hairy man.
DeleteWhat we want to know is what you had on under that sarong? You all look like you might have three legs.
ReplyDeleteYou have brought up many memories from my times of going to P-town. Thank you. You've made an old man feel young and rumbunctious if only for one night.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Your back!!!!! Yay! You always sneak in. These posts have been glorious. I have been to P-town once, but I love the beaches there. Terrific venue, beautiful vistas! It’s a long walk to certain quiet sections of Herring Cove, but it's a great walk. And I swear you boy just plain look better in heels than women.
ReplyDeleteIt should be illegal to have this much fun!!!!! And you guys look oddly sexy dressed up. The Lad looks great! Vacation Dick? Bwhahahahahahahhaha. Man, does the fire batons bring back memories of when all the clubs kids used to dance and twirl glow sticks on strings.
ReplyDeleteI said it once, Ill say it again, you need a reality show following you and the clan around as a tour guide to your life!!! The trip looks fun, But no pictures from the dick dock????
ReplyDeleteNow this is how the summer should be...fun friends, drink, nice weather and excellent beach towns. You know how to do it. I sure hope you have been good Mistress.
ReplyDeleteDamn! Why was I NOT born a gay man????
ReplyDeleteYou are wearing that at Mistress!!!
It was the hat that gave you away. Ever the Southern Bell.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun
ReplyDeleteAlways love reading about and seeing pics of my home away from home. I will be returning in September for a short weekend and hopefully again in the fall. I know well the sadness of leaving, and still hope, beyond hope, someday I won't have to.
ReplyDeleteThat first photo of the wild roses at Herring Cove could have been taken at the beach here - I love their fragrance (the roses, not the herrings....).
ReplyDeleteWe are rather bereft of statement hatted queens here on the North Norfolk coast, though.
