MAME, Darling

How do you like the picture of Mame and the Mistress from their early career days? Can you believe I have known that old goat for about 14 or 15 years now? I just got off the phone with my dear old friend Mame, or David Dust, as some of you probably know her, yesterday and we were getting caught up and said we really to get to the Bronx Zoo sometime this spring. Ya see, we have had plans to go their the last three times I was in the city. And every time, we never make it. Mame always plies me with some cock-a-tails and then leads me astray to the Urges Lounge for some all-male entertainment. The next day isn't generally too pretty, as we both look like a huge trash truck hit us! Of course we are ladies of leisure, and usually lounge about like proper socialites are to do. We will venture out around 1 or 2 in the afternoon when we are not hung anymore and look back to our fabulous selves. ( Of course it takes Mame just a bit more time to get ready). And Mame has always been fabulous. I found another one of her letters just the other day again.


When Mame posted about the Black Party a couple weeks ago, I remembered this letter. Now, Mame mind ya, has been here to visit, but we usually go up to her place. If their is going to be drinking involved, it really is much more easy to get back to her place in a ricksaw than to get to the Mistress's abode. If we decide to drink I don't know how we would get back here. Mame and the Mistress drive pretty scary sober!!! And the Mistress's bartend, Smithys would get us both pretty twisted. So, we are going to plan this zoo trip again and see if it will transpire. Any money bets this time whether we make it or not? And if we do drink Mame, get the cheese and Stella Der's ready!

A Flaming Good Time

What a simply beautiful weekend! It was relaxing, we had a touch of culture, the weather was just perfect and I finally got to meet the great southern charmer, the fabulous Auntie Flame!



Isn't she just adorable! I wanted to pinch those cheeks all day. Auntie Flame authors the blog Babble On, and that is how we met. Anyhow she was in town this weekend with her good friend Tina for a teachers convention, and Auntie had some time to kill. So, we finally met and I have to say, it was like I have known her much longer,like a great friend. And is she a spit-fire! In addition to Auntie, my good friend and sister Mame, AKA David Dust was also in town to see our Auntie. And the poor thing was under the weather with a really sore throat and cold. I hope you're feeling a little better now girl! I'm still not sure if he came to see Auntie or get the sandtarts I made!!! Anywho, our day started out with a grand car tour to show Auntie Flame the different parts of the city and the historic district and then it was on to the Franklin Institute for some scientific mind food.



Upon entering the place we saw Big Ben first!


Then it was onto the Giant Heart that you can walk through. You follow the same path that blood flows in your heart. It's pretty neat...although it does get a little claustrophobic in there!



We saw many other exhibits, like the planetarium where Joy and I learned many things, and the Boy-Toy and Mame took a quick snooze. (Why, I never!) Then we saw the huge Foucault pendulum that knocks over little brass pegs as the earth rotates or something like that! This is the view from three stories above.



Joy caught the Mistress off guard when she said she was just fascinated by this! Then she explained how she liked big huge things swinging in front of her!!! Ah, a size queen! I then knew we were going to get along fabulously! After leaving the Institute we took this photo op of the three of us and then headed to lunch at Potbellies for some sandwiches with homemade bread.



We were to go then to the Edgar Allen Poe house but time was getting behind us, so we went to Joy's pilgrimage destination where she found much peace- The Naked Chocolate Cafe.



OH.Pure. Heaven. My favorite part of the day. We all enjoyed it, but Joy and myself were the only ones to par take of very rich, decadent beverages.

Mine. A very European style drinking chocolate. Pure heaven. But Joy's put mine to same.


Auntie Flame's cock-a-tail! See what I mean about size? I betting she was up all night.



And no trip to the cafe would be complete without a take home box of goodies!



After making a pig of ourselves at the cafe we then took Auntie Flame and Tina to their hotel. We were thinking of taking them to the gay clubs for some debauchery, we decided we felt sick after all the chocolate. So we bid a farewell, hugs and kisses and then I dropped off Mame at the train station. I miss Auntie already. It was such a pleasure meeting you Auntie Flame!

Weekend with the Girls

Well, the Mistress is back from a lovely weekend in New York City where I was spending a weekend with my good friend and sister, Mame and the ever funny and fabulous Miss Ginger Grant, who it is always a pleasure to see and break a cock-a-tail with! And did we d have some of those! Unfortunately we were to go to the Bronx zoo, but got rained out on Saturday so we managed to make ourselves busy with a quick shopping trip and a tour to the Arby's only to find it had closed. I thought David was going to cry. That poor thing. They keep closing those darn Arby's up there. But don't you all worry now, her spirits were lifted when that night we arrived -finally to The Urges Lounge!



Ok. I will admit it. We did hit the Urges both nights we were up there. What else would you expect from us ho's. We like our papi's. And did they have them there. I especially took a liken to Fernando, but I tell you this, they were all hot and muscled and even in parts you couldn't see!!! One of the other go-go's gave us a little peek-a-boo. OH MY! What was that? We did have a very lovely time there. Although Sunday morning was a wee bit ugly, and poor Kailyn even got a "dronk" call from the Mistress. And she wasn't hearing any of it. I think she was putting moves on some young thing because she was off the phone quicker than a New York minute! Next day, we decided to take Miss G to see Chinatown since she wanted to see it, plus Mame and myself could get our wicked hang overs soaked up with some delish BBQ-Pork Pies, as I call them.



They are actually called Pork Buns and they are SO DAM GOOD! We went to our favorite place the Excellent Dumpling House where we par took of a huge feast of like 7 appetizers, pork buns, Thai rice, and all kinds of other little delish nibblies! The table was packed full and the food just kept rolling out! We also saw some poor ho and her tool who should definitely apply for the next season of Tool Academy. They were the lunch time entertainment. After lunch was over and we were like three stuffed pigs off to slaughter, we then took Miss G to the Pearl River Mart.



Pearl River Mart is a huge emporium of items and collections of the Chinese lifestyle. There is everything from novelties, clothing, food items, housewares, dishes, lighting, bath good and sundries. One could spend hours looking in there!









Every time I go to see Mame, I always like to go there and see what's new and get myself a new fan. I also was very pleased at my major purchase of a lovely sugar and creamer set for a whopping price of $5! That's the beauty of the mart. There prices are unheard of. Miss Ginger also cleaned house with some purchasing from it seemed every department. After Chinatown, we headed back to the Village by way of Little Italy where we enjoyed some refreshing Gellato and then headed to Garage for a cock-a-tail or two and a light supper and enjoyed the wonderful jazz of the place. I think by this time "the Urge" from the last two nights was catching up with us, as we were all a little wiped out. So I bid farewell to Miss Ginger, and then did a quick powder at Mame's and changed into my travel attire before hitting the train back to Philadelphia. It was a lovely time girls and it is always nice to see ya. Should we plan on the Urge for the week after next? And cake. Lots of cake.Tootles!

From Beach to the City

Well, dear readers all these vacations and weekend excursions are just confusing the hell out of me! I don't know if I'm coming or going. I have been pretty missing in action of late. But y'all see last weekend I went to Rehoboth Beach to visit friends. And leave it to the Mistress to enjoy the beach just a bit too much. After a lovely time out the night before and a very delish dinner at Eden, the next day I went to the beach. It was very nice and warm with some sun, but not a lot. It was a bit hazy out. So the Mistress went and enjoyed some sun, frolicked like a water nymph in the ocean, and made merry with two nice looking papis. After a nice walk and some beverages, the Mistress fell asleep. When she awoke, I packed up and bid farewell to all and showered. And then did the sunburn come out! The first half of the week was torture. But it was a lovely weekend. With much eye candy to be seen.



Now I'm off again to New York City to spend the weekend with my good friend and sister Mame, and the fabulous Grand Poo-Bah, Ginger Grant, to help celebrate Mamie's birthday. So this should be a a fun filled weekend with the girls. So no posting, unless some Boy-Toy gets the urge for another guest stint! Have a wonderful weekend y'all. Tootles!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMIE!

Girl, all I can say is HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! I hope you will have a great day today! I have known Mame, or David Dust, one of my closest and dearest friends for years and years and years now and I can't tell y'all how good a friend Mame is. If there is one person to keep one in stitches and laughter it's my good friend Mame. Since y'all like old stories of Maddie and Mame one of her birthday's does come to mind. It was one of the very first birthday parties they had for her when I first met Mame. Our gang was very fond of throwing a cock-a-tail party for anything. Well our good friend Glen, God rest his soul, had a birthday party for Mame one year. I remember it being very hot and poor Glen didn't have on the air so we were all fanning ourselves with paper plates when the host wasn't looking. I remember both our faces melting before our eyes.It was a nice turn out and it was where Mame and I really bonded. I gave her a bottle of liquor of some kind, and we were thick ever since. And she did get some swell presents that year. Mame got her first pearl necklace, not that kind, get your minds out of the gutter, the kind every respectable woman has, a strand of lovely creme colored pearls. She had received a fan I believe and she also receive some adult novelties never to be seen again. (Note to self,when I go up this weekend remind me to look under the cushions of the sofa!)
Oh, anywho, it was a lovely party and we later just laughed and talked the night away. It was the night we really bonded like I said and we were the blond twins ever since when we went to the local cha-cha palace. And it was also Mame, Mamie! who introduced me to the South American mens! Variety is the spice of life she said. So I'd like to take this time to say thank-you for being my good life long friend, sister and family! You have been there through the good and bad, family losses and all the drunken calls, many dinners, parties, camp fires, bean dip fests and just to talk. Hell, a year ago I started this blog because of your inspiration. Thank you for being who you are. I can't wait for this weekend! You, me, Ginger, and the Urges! This is just spelling a good time!



And I just couldn't resist a birthday greeting from Aunt Barbara! Again Happy Birthday Mame! We love ya!

The Lady and the Tramp are Ready

Hello. You have reached the Mistress. I'm sorry I'm not available right this moment to post and blog, as the Mistress and her Boy-Toy are heading to San Francisco to do some sighting and seeing, rooftop relaxing, visiting with Kailyn and some other friends, entertain with the boys of Castro for some cock-a-tails, cavorting and some debauching! I encourage you to visit some of my older posts and also please visit the wonderful blogs of my lovely friends in my blog list. I think you will find them all, news worthy, interesting, humorous, and informative, plus you can also get to see some hot men! In my absence my good friend and sister Mame, aka David Dust will be over seeing the estate, and the Empress Beth of the Bunny Nation will be fielding any questions you may have and handling the paparazzi, since she is an accomplished Joto-Pouralist! So please leave your lovely comments after the little ole' beep. And remember, if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me. Tootles! Beeeeeeeeep.

Lady Bunny a Dust Bunny?

Yesterday while blog reading I came across a post from the fabulous Lady Bunny. Y'all know she is my favorite diva of all time. Anywho, she was interviewed what queens should do or see when in Manhattan for all the upcoming gay pride festivities. She said" I say run wild in the streets and pop into every bar along Christopher Street!" Ok, now I know the Mistress was just a wee bit drunk last week, but isn't that what we did on the Dust Bunny Drunken Tour? Next year Mamie I say we invite Lady Bunny on the tour. She could be the new mascot! With her brand'in iron! She and TrannyBeth could share hair tips! And with her along no one would be sober!!!

The Great DUST BUNNNY WEEKEND--Part 1

The Mistress is happy to report that she is finally back in the land of the living and feeling back to normal. I'm happy to report the weekend was a complete blast! Filled with drinking, eating, drinking, shopping, drinking, men watching, and more drinking!!! The Mistress left by train for the weekend with her trustee flask with Pinot Grigo. One does like a little nip on the way. I got into New York by 4:24 and was very excited to see my sister and long time friend Mamie and the fun loving, and laid back Howard who I knew I was going to like.



He is a real sweet person with just a touch of cattiness which I love. Plus we share the same taste in mens! Upon getting to Penn Station, Mamie called and said they were at the terminal bar, but didn't share exactly where it was. Like a bloodhound I sniffed out the hooch from the bar and found them. So yes dear ones, after getting in the drinking commenced. After a couple of cock-a-tails, we left for a little R&R, before heading to the Dust Bunny Cocktail Party at the Sofitel where we would meet the rest. We decided to meet the Fabulous Miss Ginger Grant in the bar before heading up to the girls suite, so we met in the Gaby Bar of the Sofitel. What a swank place!



The Mistress was ready to move in! And Miss Ginger held up her reputation! She truly is fabulous and a real neat person who I am proud to call a new friend! And funny as hell! The intoxicated swank thing in the background is Miss Kailyn who I love to get a good drink on with! And is she full of many, many stories.



After a cock-a-tail or two we headed up to the room where we met the rest of the gang. I had been just dying to the point of peeing myself to meet the Empress Beth, for like -ever! And she was just has sweet as molasses in a shoe-fly pie! What a wonderful, warm and interesting person. Although for the night she was known as India! And next to her was Zombie Mom who is also from California who arrived with Kailyn. She too was a very interesting person and very beautiful. And a hip mother is she! I just loved her whole aura about her.



And rounding out the group was Mark from Delaware and his partner Joe! What a pair of sweet guys! I had been wanting to meet them for some time. Those to were so welcoming and had a few wonderful stories to share. I'm so glad I finally got to meet them.



After a wonderful party, the boys went to Urge to see some go-go boys! And what a sight to be seen. The first night there was, how should I say this, not memorable. Ya see, I was just a wee bit drunk by time we left the party. I do know Mamie said poor Miss Ginger was holding a wall up and ready for the hang over to set in and the same with the Mistress. Poor Mamie, she had to round us boys up and literatly put our asses in a cab upon which Howard said Miss Ginger and I passed right out! And the next day was ugly for all us, but we recovered in time to start all over again for the Drunken Dust Bunny West Village Bar Tour! We were joined also by the handsome Marker and his other half, who were very funny, and the Mistress's Boy-Toy also arrived for the tour.

Here is my two hotties, Boy-Toy and Beth!


My sister Mamie, the handsome Marker, and Mark.


Kailyn and the Boy-Toy.


Ginger,Beth-aka India and Howard.


After the bar tour ended and we were all pretty soused, the night wouldn't be complete without two lovely drunk dial calls to everybody favorite, Auntie Flame of Babble On fame, who sounded so cute on the phone with her southern accent, and to Kayce of Chef the City, who is also another sweet southern gal and I believe can cook like no one's business! We just wished they could have been there. There is always the next one. Well the gang split in to . Some went to get there eat on, and the boys yet again, couldn't get enough of the Urge so we went back of course and took Kailyn with us! And what sights again. I loves me a hot go-go boy! One of them even place the Mistress's whole face into his crotch! Unfortunately since my face was unavailable to take a picture and my hands on his rock hard tights,you see I couldn't take one. Little ole me was embarrassed, and as you can see Kailyn was absolutely no help.



And my sister Mamie was also quite popular with the go-go hotties! And thank God the Boy-Toy was there to protect the Mistress from the Colombian stalker she had. He took a liking to me and was not taken no for a answer! He's in the picture with Mamie. Come think of it the first night there Mamie had to inform me there was also a guy pawing me up Friday too. Of course I don't recollect such things!





Needless to say, we were out to the very wee hours. I think we got in somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 or 5 am- I think. All I know is it was a great weekend and I loved meeting all of you so much, Beth, Howard, Mark, Marker, Zombie Mom, Kailyn and Joe. All such nice lovely people. And while on the bar tour we meet a really neat guy at one of the oldest gay bars in the village Julius's. He was telling of some very interesting stories of the bar's past and started to tell us of the Stonewall Riots. He was a very warm person and really made us feel right at home in his establishment. Tomorrow I'll continue with part two of the weekend of shopping and a wonderful pig out session at the Dumpling House in Chinatown and a jaunt through Little Italy! Tootles!

Travel by Train

Well, the Mistress will be traveling by train, but not with a toilet! Although the outfit will not be far off!!! The Mistress and Boy-Toy are heading to New York City to visit with my good friend and sister Mamie , Kailyn, Beth and a few other familiar faces from the world of blogging for the soon to be famous Drunken Dust Bunny Weekend. I understand their will be trips to museums, the Bronx Zoo, shopping and of coarse the drunken bar crawl starting at Pieces Bar at 9:00PM. Is there any bets on who will fall out first? It sounds to be a fun weekend and I can not wait. I'll be leaving directly after the trunk show at work today. I'm sure I'll have some pics and details next week. And this is the beginning of a busy time for the Mistress. Next week she is involved with all kinds of gay pride festivities here in Philadelphia, and am expecting friends in town for the weekend. The week after that will be a weeks vacation. The week after that we will be due for a camping weekend. Why do I have the feeling this will start a huge drinking period ?

Letters From Sister Mamie

Today my good friend and sister Mamie, AKA David Dust posted a whole story on the background of the lovely festivities of the Black party. The Mistress got to thinking I have known this bitch for quite some time. Before I went about the rest of the day, I remember I had a letter that she wrote me when she was just a little blond chicken right off the Greyhound. I used to look forward to her letters when I got them. One letter in particular was a invite to the going ons at the Black Party.



Even then as you can see, she was a funny writer back then. Well, I don't think I ever went to the Black Party. I was just to young and impressionable ya see.Yea right, believe that one and I will tell you another.Plus, being just out, meant I would have to leave town and might miss meeting a new boy! Anywho, it wasn't till a New York Gay Pride that I finally went to visit her and also would make trips to go to Patricia Fields to get wigs and other drag provisions. And the letters would have me in stitches from her talk of working at Macy's when she was a young retail queen to the savvy business woman she is today. And then there were the tales of lust, I mean, love. Yea that's it,love. I don't know where lust came from. Lets just say their were tales of many men, all papi's. She knew then what she wanted. Then there were the tales of the club scene, the Roxy,the Limelight, where they had a special Margarita night, Sound Factory, the Tunnel and her personal favorite Stella's. And that was followed by the hang overs the next day. What's funny about the whole thing is I didn't know Mamie to well before she left to go to New York to live. Maybe a couple of months. At first meeting, it was awkward because I was seeing a guy who had also dated Mamie. When he brought me around Mamie wasn't going to have another damn blond around. Somehow, we became good friends and she moved away to New York. Hell, that same guy we had in common is also still a good friend and was our host at The Woods campground two years ago. Now we run him ragged! But I think we really connected when he would come home to visit at all the parties and gatherings we had. Ever since then, Mamie has been one of my best friends and sisters. We have had many a hang over, danced some ditty's, dated many,many,many,many men, wore many a turban, and have even lost some dear friends. No, Mamie is definitely one of a kind, and I'm glad a still have these letters. After all these years they still make me laugh! Mamie -thanks for being such a wonderful friend and a lovely sister. I love ya girl!

A Nice Weekend

The Mistress is back home and feeling recovered from the awful hang over from last night. So I 'll keep this short and sweet. As you know the Mistress went to New York City with the Boy-Toy to visit her good friend and sister Mamie,aka David Dust, and the fabulous Kailyn,whose blog is Kailyn's Creations. A lovely weekend was had by all. Mamie was a wonderful hostess and guide. On Saturday after our arrival Mamie and us went to pick up Kailyn and head to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.



The Mistress has always loved this museum,as she is a art lover. We all spent the better half of the day looking at famous works of art. We went thought the Asian and European collections, the Medieval wing, the Modern Art sections and the Egyptian wing. The Mistress really loved the Medieval armour! And the hot guy in the red next to the exhibit.





After the museum we went back to Mamie's penthouse and decided to order in forgetting it was Valentine's Day, and that we probably wouldn't get in anywhere. It turns out it was a great idea as we all got to get to know each other better and talk and drink,eat and drink,laugh and drink, eat some sandtarts, and then drink some more! Kailyn really did keep up with us seasoned drinkers!!! And then the drunken pictures started!

Miss Kailyn, hostess with the mostess,Mamie and the intoxicated Mistress



The two biggest drunks last night- Kailyn and the Mistress


The elegant Kailyn with the Boy-Toy and Mistress


After a bit we headed out to Barrage, a gay lounge where we drank some more and ogled the hot boys. Unfortunately the Mistress doesn't remember to much from the rest of the night. Not that the drinks had anything to do with that! All I know is she woke up fully clothed on Mamie's sofa sometime around 11:30am. My Boy-Toy had already went to visit another friend so the rest of us went to Mamie's restaurant for a lovely brunch in the village. Where we had even more drinks-Mimosa's. Kailyn and myself had to be eventually cut off as the poor waiter loss at least 3 pounds from making so many trips to the table. After brunch we bid a sad good bye to Kailyn and then Mamie took the Mistress to the train station for her return trip home. Now I'm going to enjoy the Quesadia that Mamie sent me home with. It was great meeting you Kailyn ,thanks for a wonderful memory of New York and thank -you Mamie for putting us up, and for the lovely brunch. Oh, and also for the New York only coin! I'll always treasure it!

The Mistress is Off

The Mistress should say she's off for a weekend clandestine! But not for a fan dance. Although that could happen. No, tomorrow the Mistress is packing up her steamer trunk, mini bar, and her Boy-Toy and heading to the Big Apple! She is very excited! You see she will be staying with one of her best girlfriends and dear, old, sister, Mamie, who some of you know as Daivd Dust. It has been since Christmas since we saw each other. But what really prompted the get together was one of the Mistress's blogging friends who is also coming to New York City. Kailyn who's blog is Kailyn's Creations is also coming and wanted to meet Mamie and the Mistress. I don't think she quite knows what the hell she is getting herself into. Anywho- Kailyn was one of the first blog friends to post on this little here blog of mine, so she is sort of a founding poster. And we have emailed numerous times and we think we may have been separated at birth but aren't sure yet. Anywho, Mamie has the whole weekend planed out and I 'm sure there will be lots of these!



And plenty of this!

I hope to report in Sunday...maybe. I understand Kailyn likes a couple of cock-a-tails and I know how Mamie and the Mistress and Boy-Toy are. So you may never see me again. Tootles!
