....on our last day on Fire Island, mermen were sighted on the beaches of the Pines!
Fire Island just might be the gayest place on Earth! And to think we didn't even see any mermen in Barbados.
As this goes to press, Warbucks, Pearly and I left the clan on Fire Island yesterday, and now in New Hope for a few days. It's been a swell 14 days so far....
Well, they're not bottoms...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update!! Glad you've been having a wonderful time!

Inquiring minds want to know, did you net them?
ReplyDeleteMermen shape shift...so does this mean you had a few fish sandwiches??? Now wipe your mouth and hurry back!
ReplyDeletejust because we have a fountain and pool at the Casa du Borghese doesn't mean you have to bring home fish.
ReplyDeleteYou and Hedda on Fire Island? That's a lot of high maintenance.
ReplyDeleteBut the mermen reminds me of the billionaire who asked a lighthouse keeper how to get a mermaid. He gave him an easy but gross one. The lighthouse keeper told him to go to to the chicken farm three miles north of there and ask for their sickliest chicken. Pluck it and then soak it in their sewage runoff for a day. Then grind it up into a smoothie, let it ferment for two days, and then go onto the bow of his yacht and chug it at high noon.
"At last!" shouts the billionaire and rushes off to get the chicken. Three days later, he's standing on the pointy end of his yacht, holding his nose and drinking a greyish pink smoothie. And that's how he got Salmon Ella.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!🤣😅😁😂
DeleteI am waiting with bated breath on the photos of your trip. I have never been to either place. And Fire Island does exist? I thought it was just a place of folk lore.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean you have to wear clothes again? I love mermen!
ReplyDeleteWhere there is a will there is a way!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see your still having a good time.
I LOVE that photo. I always wanted to be a merman when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteNew Hope! You're so lucky. I've been looking into moving back home (I'm from Yardley). Real estate has just gotten insane, though. I could afford some towns but I would never live in them.... Have a realtor; hope she can make a miracle happen.
ReplyDeleteI'm originally from Camp Hill, but moved to Bucks County, Doylestown in 1999 and lived their till 2023. My uncle was also from Yardley. I already know I will move back, as the feeling is getting to that point again. I get back for weekends when I can. I ADORE that whole area. Especially New Hope/Dolyestown/Lambertville. Maybe we'll be neighbors?
DeleteA beach of mermen ... dreams do come true!
ReplyDeleteA lot of tail on that beach
ReplyDeleteFabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteNow I want a merman....
XOXO
Are you trying to tell us that you left those mermen lounging on the beach? Not buying it.... 😉
ReplyDeleteWot? Mermen but no Merladies?
ReplyDeleteAmusant, les sirènes divines mâles apportent la bonne fortune à Fire island.
ReplyDeleteMaîtresse, c'est agréable de lire que vous passez de bons moments en vacances :)

ReplyDeleteMy (almost) namesake Dolores DeLago [Bette Midler] comes to mind: “The question before us is where’s her clitoris?”
ReplyDeleteCould those queens do a full dance routine in electric wheelchairs, I wonder? Jx
My mind went right there, too!
DeleteI sure haven't seen any mermen on my coastline! Will you be back before 2026?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI haven't even seen the pictures yet. But my law, I'm sure you had to much fun, so get back here soon!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou made my morning! First you posted, and then mermen!!! We await your return, enjoy visiting friends in New Hope!
ReplyDeleteNever been to Barbados, but I did have my first trip to Fire Island this summer back in July. It was amazing. I feel for any gay man who never gets to experience the magic of this place. And hey, I enjoy Provincetown, but this is a whole other level. The same but much different, and way more campy. Even butch men let their queenie sides come out.
ReplyDeleteYAY YOU POSTED!!!!!! I was in Fire Island once...and there is INDEED something very magical about that place. As is New Hope. I hope you feature a post from their too. I mean it's practically its own character on this blog!
ReplyDeleteInquiring minds want to know. How many of those mermen lost their tail for you?
ReplyDeleteJeebus, Maddie, have you only been gone for 14 days? It feels like a 100, LOL! Glad you're having a great R&R though... did you collect mermen like seashells?
ReplyDeleteMy one regret. I never made it to Fire Island.
ReplyDeleteAre you ever coming back?? I mean at least you could blog for your 8th millionth page view, HO!
ReplyDelete'They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning'
ReplyDeleteI don't know if a flipper means the same in the US as it does here but they all look like Flippers to me !
The sea around Fire Island must be warmer than the North Sea as our mermen are covered in a thick layer of blubber like seals or whales to keep warm.
