I can remember my dearly departed grandmother always referring to this day as Decoration Day. The practice of decorating soldiers’ graves with flowers is an ancient custom. Soldiers’ graves were decorated in the U.S. before, during, and after the Civil War. In 1868, General John A. Logan proclaimed a national and annual observation of “DecorationDay” on May 30. The holiday was changed to include all service men and women after World War I. It became known as MemorialDay over DecorationDay after World War II. My father and both grandfathers were all in the service, and along with them, let's keep all the service men and woman in our memories, not to mention out new hero's and service people in these new times.
And a bear sighting near Fanny Chapman Park in Doylestown! Very close by...less then 10 minutes. No doubt looking for the Casa du Borghese. Good thing I have about five jars of honey.
None the less, the Mistress got ready for the weekend. My good friend invited me and my good friend and sister Mamie, aka, David Dust, for a weekend of glamping up in the Pocono's. It will be just the three of us, and thankfully none of us has been out around others, but will still be safe with precautions. This is bound to be one of my looks for the weekend. It will be one of the lowest key weekends at the Woods, with most of it's amenities closed. We plan to just sit on the site , drink, regale stories, and enjoy a campfire or two. Nothing like the smell of a campfire. I left Friday morning and I'll be returning Sunday.
It seems Rupauls Drag Race just won't stop this summer... with the current season still airing, a celebrity edition which ran, and now, another all stars season is getting ready to air, which I don't really watch, RuPaul's Drag Race is about to go international once again, as the show's latest spin-off series gets ready to air. Here's a glimpse at the new judge and the introduction of its new Queens. Canada's Drag Race sees RuPaul's Drag Race season 11 runner-up Brooke Lynn Hytes as the main judge on the panel alongside American Horror Story actor Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman and supermodel Stacey McKenzie – and the judges are already promising great things from the new series. While RuPaul won't be on or lending a hand in this series, hence why his name isn't on it, has given the new panel his blessing. Nothing has been done like this before in Canada to date and there are no big goals like RuPaul's Drag Race in Canada for drag queens, unless you moved to the States and uproot your whole life. Now there's something for queens in Canada to strive for, and motivation is so important. I was really excited for two queens I know who got on this show too, Lemon and Anastarzia Anaquway.I am also famialir with BOA...Bitch on Arrival. She is a trip! Im gonna make sure Steven gets on the second season. I will get him ready and I've already deemed him Carmen Geddit.
Enough chatter.... speaking of those Canadian Queens, here's a first look at all of the new contestants who'll be vying to take home the crown during the first-ever Canadian series
