Everything Was Just..... Beachy

Well, well,well ,I am happy to say I had a fabulous weekend last week and returned on Tuesday, feeling very rejuvenated, and I was ready to finish off my three day week. Every time I go to Rehoboth Beach it is like going home again, and it is one of the places I never tire of going to. I have been going for at least, close to 15 years now, and it is always an entertaining time, and a place to see all the cuties from all the close by eastern cities, many eligible men too! It is also a huge gay destination where the boys come to frolic and have a good time. Many will make the trek every week all summer. I left last Saturday with the Lad in tow, and arrived at our beautiful rental that was arranged by the dashing Preston. There were many cookouts, happy hours at the Blue Moon,dancing at Cloud 9, shopping, and days spent on the beach. My lovely host even remembered I enjoy myself a occasional cigar!

But you well know when you have 9 queens in a house, there are bound to be issues. Like only two bathrooms. 9 queens? Two bathrooms? Yeah, it can get ugly. And then there was the second night where one of the guys came back and found his other half, well, lets says he wasn't in the bed with him!!! Some unforeseen drama. Not good. A little scuffle would ensue. Break ups are talked about. Oh, these poor creatures. They've lost their equilibrium because they've lost their faith in love. Oh l'amour, l'amour. I hadn't met these fine boys before, but had to calm them, since the Mistress wasn't standing for any drama on my watch. By the next day, apologies were made and the couple happy again.

The Beach.

 I have always enjoyed the beach more than any other locale. Never mind I can't swim. I just love the water and waves, sinking my feet into the hot sand and the feel of the heat on my skin. I also love the cute boys who deliver the parasol to set up to provide some shade. And is it me or do Thrasher fries taste better when eaten on the beach? I had two orders. With vinegar. So the square cut fit tighter, it got worked off later.

The Cock-a-tails.

The Mistress did enjoy her cock-a-tails and is always on a strict schedule when it comes time to drink whilst away. I never have any hard beverages before 6pm!

My morning cock-a-tail.....

My afternoon cock-a-tail.....

My evening cock-a-tail.......

The Boys

 Of course you all know the Mistress is fond of her boys, whether hers by the waters edge, those lying nearby, or in a cute boy drag held contest, I do like to be surrounded by guys!!!!!

If there wasn't men to be found on the beach for one, you could go to the Studio 54 themed party, that our host Preston's friend was having. And did they go all out! You could dress or not for the event. The place was packed and a very good time had by all. At the bar they even had mirrors with lines of sugar for the lemon drop shots!!!! There was also a key in the fish bowl game, volleyball, and needless to say bottomless cock-a-tails being served! The Lad was in rare form this trip and showed to the Studio 54 party looking, well, very handsome no?
 

Miriam Webster made a surprise visit to the party in her cowgirl finest!

These two guys had quite the cute message on their backs. Gay for Pay? Wonder what he charged?

Needless to say, the one in the camo shorts had a fine backside if I say so myself!!!!! This weekend, I'm taking it easy. Maybe a little shopping to the market. But rest assure I already have return trips planned back to the beach, and I have all my vacation time entered which means the Mistress will be up to her usual summer hi jinks and most likely be in and out of the Casa all summer! Tootles!

Draggin at My Wild Tea Party

Well, no one more than me, is glad to put this week to bed!!! So if you'll just hush, I'll explain my absence. Between regular work duties, a huge store visit, training a new assistant, and last weekend, the ex- Boy Toy had emergency appendix surgery, so my little Buster Bolfig Borghese has been with me ever since!!! The highlight last week was a charity drag show for Philadelphia AIDS Thrift, which is incorporated in Pennsylvania as a non-profit business. They are also a federally recognized tax-exempt charitable organization. Their mission is to sell the lovely, useful and interesting stuff generous people donate to their thrift store and then distribute the proceeds to local organizations involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS, and to hospice aids houses. Miss Miriam Webster talked the Mistress to coming out of retirement, in a rare appearance, for the event, and in addition, Miriam also hooked up the Drag Race tour with the show , which brought a huge amount of funding in! Present were Raja, Manila Luzon, Carmen Carrera,Nina Flowers, Morgan McMichaels, Yara Sofia, and Raven! All of which except for Yara were much taller than I expected, but all very stunning and sweet as pie!
 

And then there was the Philadelphia queens. Here is Miriam Webster and Satine Harlow. These girls are part of Mimi Imfurst's The Dollhouse Revue at Voyager on Wednesday nights. Mimi's is really bringing quite the drag show with the Dollhouse!

Miss Porcelain and Missy Maven on the right. Rumors are abounding about Missy for a possible Drag Race season 6 dragtestant!

I have no idea who the last drunken harlot is.

The show was a huge success and raised much needed funds for further operations. Now the Mistress is tucking everything away again till next time. I had forgotten how much time it takes for make-up, pulling in, layering, hair in place , and the minding of carrying your self proper all night. The fabulous feather hat was a huge thank you to the creative talents of Christian Marcus David Millner! Tootles till later lambchops!!!!

A Send Off For Wilma Wingate

Last week I was invited to go out with the Lad and company to Feathers Nightclub for the send off of local queen Wilma Wingate who was retiring from the drag arena. Feathers is a damn fine good time out, I'm here to tell ya. The place as a good energy, friendly people, fast bar service, a huge plus, can't get that gin quick enough and pretty good music. And it's the perfect venue for a drag show. Also attending was a fellow drag queen, who twisted the Mistress to make a appearance for the show. Now mind, I hardly bring out my alter ego much these days since I had a good 12 year run and had my time in the limelight in the 90's! These days I'll do the flashy party or a worth while charity show. The evening went great except for the hangover the next day. Now I know why I don't go out during the week anymore!!! Another fellow queen and blog reader suggested the Mistress Borghese make a surprise appearance, and she said I wouldn't have to lift a finger, as her friend was on hand to do the make-up, just bring two outfits and wigs. Sit back and relax? That's a switch. Miriam's stylist gave me a great face job, not as campy as I get though, but loved it none the less. In the pictures- after the show, moi,Tea Cup from New Jersey,Miriam Webster and Sable from Philadelphia. Miriam Webster performing.In the next yours doing her daring number. Bea Tempted mc-ing, and hostess of the event. In the next, are some handsome on lookers, what are you looking at? And playing the part of Christina in Lady Marmalade was Wilma Wingate.








At the end of the month my favorite queen, yes, Lady Bunny will be present and on hand for The Hair Ball, which is a charity event, with drag show and a "best wig contest"! The whole crowd can wear wigs, which from what I hear, just about eveyone is in some form of wiggery can have the chance to be judged by Lady Bunny. The higher the hair the closer to God!!!! Should be a fun event. Tootles!

Grande Dame

This week brings us Miriam Webster! After many years of entertaining and perfecting her craft, Miriam is ready to build the Webster empire! While building the empire of amazing individuals, Miriam still strives to be the new gal in DC and Philadelphia and reach as many of the DMV drag supporters as possible, while teach words and meaning from the Webster dictionary. Miriam has a great balance of midwestern charm, southern hospitality, NYC sex kitten and just a pinch of mommy dearest perfection. She is very much the peace keeper; however, keeping the peace isn't always so easy. Miriam is taking part in many Aids driven charities here in Philly and can be seen at the Wig and Mask Club and twice a month a Tavern on Comac. In Dc she will soon be seen at Nellies Drag Brunch. Miriam also has some good taste, as she checks in here from time to time!!!! Love ya girl!
