...Before stepping into 20!
My no-good social director, Anita Moorecock informed me, yet again this year, I missed the A Day with the Mistress Borghese's blogoversary. I apparently hit 19 years last week! Hell, I have had this blog longer than any man at this point!! Hard to believe I'm still doing this and writing, and having people still reading and following, who knew? To think my good friend and siter Mame, AKA David Dust dragged me kicking and screaming to start a blog after commenting on blogs for 8 years before starting one. And it wouldn't be blogger without them blocking my last post, for what reason I can't phantom, and I noticed the follower counter also no longer updates, but yet I'm still here, mind you, getting more irritated by their nincompoopery. but yes, with some gin and good friends such as y'all I continue and do enjoy it. Some fun facts- we are at 15, 498,650 views, 6,010 post, 13,804 comments and one person short of 500 followers. 897 drag queens presented, and at least 320 visits to the Candy Shop. That's a lot of beauty and cock. Not to mention Mood Boards and In Three Words which continue to be popular and then there's all my nonsense, of travel, shade, men, kiki-ing, life at the Casa du Borghese, drinking and rants. It surprising to me that most of my readership is from Europe, Japan and not surprisingly, South America. Hello boys!!! The US on a list of 20 countries comes in at 14.
So, we will be popping open the bubbly, and letting it all hang out and celebrating today with the houseboys. Here's to 19 more years of gin and sin! Pop in and have a nip with us! Of course, the head-ers are a staple here too! Here are some from over the years. And always remember-
"LIVE! LIVE! Life is a banquet and some poor suckers are starving."

Wow! Nineteen years! Congrats! I can't imagine a day without reading your blog! That why I hate when your gone. LOVES all the headers you have and always wonder what will come next. I see by the new one, the houseboys are already celebrating! Cheers to you.
ReplyDelete"what will come next", more like WHO's cumming next?
DeleteYou you Miss Mahogany have been here since the beginning. I guess your taste is questionable! And ignore that twit Moorecock. I need to lock her up more.
DeleteCongrats on your blog being old enough to sass back and ask for a later bedtime! That is a long time for a blog. You're a lifestyle really. Love and adore you when I pop in and so full of life.
ReplyDeleteI adore you. As Mae West said...it's not the men in your life...but the life in your men that counts!💋
DeleteCongratulations Mistress! That's just amazing. And you post so often, good for you! So many blogs I used to read are now gone, and many don't hold my interests or have become to commercial of memes with no real content. Thanks for keeping us entertained for all these years. And I still learn something or see something of interest. Adore the headers, they are legend at this point.
ReplyDeleteI love all the interact with everyone too. It's like another community really. Adore having you stop by.
DeleteHappy Blogoversary you old bitch. does this make you a dinosaur in the blog world?
ReplyDeleteI don't think Im fossilized yet....
DeleteHow fast time go when you're not paying attention. Congratulation on 19 years! Not to mention I turned my grandson on to your blog years go who loved drag and turned out to be gay. He still reads he said but never comments.
ReplyDeleteI could believe it when Ms Moore cock brought it up....Im not very good with keeping track of these things. Thank you!
Delete19 years!!!!!! Holy shit that is longer then you had a man...well settled with ONE man that is....and what a treasure trove for us drag queens! So much history here. Here's to more years hopefully dear.
ReplyDeleteWhile I still feature drag who'd thought the blog would go the direction it did and tickles me that people enjoy reading. 💋
DeleteCongratulations, dear! We are definitely among the "stayers". I started mine way back in March 2007, so the same year as you. I believe Mr Peenee, Mr DeVice and Ms Scarlet have been blogging just as long... Jx
ReplyDeletePS I love your endless variety of headers. I have never changed mine. Liza is eternal.
It's nice to be in "reputable" good company as you fine folks. Here is too more debachery!!! And a pinch of campery.
Deleteand no doubt more cock.
DeleteWas that a question?
DeleteMistress, Happy Blogiversary... Many More for Sure.... It's been my privilege to read your entries and to have you comment on mine...!!!
ReplyDeleteAs is mine. I always enjoy your southern take and gentlemen ways. Your welcome here all the time, any time.💋
DeleteOMG you’re almost of age! Yay!
ReplyDeleteHappy Bloggiversary!
XOXO
I never thought d still be blogging. Or still have a good sex life. I'll take them both.💋
DeleteHappy blogiversary Mads! Love the walk down header lane. I am disappointed to not see my friend who turned out to be a mannequin. I suppose there are too many from which to choose. Wow you've had a lot of headers in nineteen years!
ReplyDeleteThat this is only a few of them! Im so glad your part of our gang so to speak! And for giving me one of the hardest laughs over the mannequin header. I still chuckle! And adore you still!!!
Delete💋💋💋
i think he just had a lot of head in nineteen years...
DeleteCongratulations. Dahling! To 19 more!
ReplyDeleteWe shall see! I couldn't believe when Moorecock said 19 years. I don't keep track of these things or the stats much.
DeleteHappy Blogoversary , Mistress! I hope you stick around for a long time to come. I have enjoyed every minute, and so glad I got to meet you too.
ReplyDeleteThat's the one thing I didn't expect....to meet other bloggers and readers. What a treat that was. Your just lucky I didn't kidnap you.
Delete19 YEARS?!?!?! This will be something to celebrate when you get here!
ReplyDeleteYou're a drag institution at this point. Doing drag research was what led me to your blog. And a great gay blog too.
We are full of rainbows and glitter! See ya soon girl!
DeleteI LOVED the Alfred Hitchcock and lion banner!!! You have had some good ones. Happy 19!!
ReplyDeleteI like the banners as much as the blog. Your fun, smart, interesting, and opinionated and often enjoy your views and jaunts. And all the delicious visuals and your own pictures you share.
Wow! Not that is commitment! Congratulations and happy birthday to A Day With the Mistress Borghese! I myself LOVED the header with Dovima with the elephants and you mowing the grass, LMAO!!!!! Of course, the naked houseboys in black heels was a good one too.
ReplyDeleteYou don't look a day over 5 henny!!! And like you, the fabulous Candy Johnston keeps going in the side there. Keep goin girl.
ReplyDeleteTake off the beer goggles off and put the real glasses on.
DeleteCongratulations !
ReplyDeleteMay your blog endure another 19 :-)
Pan in Wynnewood
I'll try Pan, so far no cracks or pains and I can still bend!
DeleteCongratulations on such an awesome milestone, Maddie! Cheers! 🍾🥂
ReplyDeleteGlad you part of our little community Jen!
DeletePlease keep it going for many more years. Happy 19th!!!! I love the headers. I always say this one is my favorite, till the next one comes along. I love the Marlene Dietrich one. If I recall, you have had several of her?
ReplyDeleteI say the same thing about my South American men.
DeleteCongrats! Your perseverance with this platform and your content helps inspire me daily.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogoversary! I just sorry I didn't discover you until about halfway through those 19 years.
ReplyDeleteYou made it anyway and have been here a while! Thank you dear!
DeleteMy god, 19 years! We were both in our teens when you started. So,glad you decided to,take this on. You’re entertaining and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThank heavens someone knows how to do the right math! Love you!💋
DeleteWe're talking dog years, right?
DeleteYou have been obviously hanging around Ms. Moorecock!
DeleteCongratulations, m'dear and long may it continue!!! I can't believe I'm still here either - once blogging gets under your skin you're stuck with it!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Sxx
Blogger issues and all! I'm so glad we met in the filthy, germ riddled halls of the Informaniac.
DeleteI think sticking with a blog is easier than putting up with a man, even it is work.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Now if it could just give a blow or hand job......
DeleteJust like a pushy bottom we demand that you, "KEEP IT UP!" except in this case, please keep up blogging, we do enjoy your posts, rants, houseboys, travels, gardening, cassa,
ReplyDeleteIt's been quite the ride and well worth every post, blocked or not!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary, MM!!!

DeleteHappy 19th blogoversary, Maddie! Will you have gin or champagne in the cascading pyramid of glasses? I'm betting on Hendricks', LOL! Thanks for all the laughs, mood boards and rants...may your blog continue to fly in the face of Blogger's censors! (i.e., long may she wave, hahaha).
