NIGHT IMPRESSIONS

Yesterday here was mucky, dark, damp , windy and rainy. A perfect day to just relax. After some morning duties. I was glad to be home. Though spring is coming, I'm still enjoying my candle lit evenings. Most nights, it probably looks like Tangina Barrons is here trying to make contact with the other side to "clean the house". But I just love candles..one of my little pleasures. I must light about between 12 to 20 candles a night.  And it neat to see how candle light makes everything look so different.

 While relaxing late last night, I noticed for the first time the cool impressions the floral branches make on the ceiling. It almost looked like it was wallpapered. 

Doesn't seem to take much to impress me these days. Last night all it took was listening to jazz, a glass or two of pinot noir and watching the shadows dance.

DUBLIN

 Before you think this will be a travelogue entry, and I wish it were, this has to do with the expanding and creative Irish drag queens, that are making their marks. I think right behind the Australia and UK, drag scenes, Dublin has one of the most fun and outlandish scenes too. They are a silly bunch, don't take it seriously, and are full of hilarity. By other parts of the world, the drag culture in Ireland is still very young. It you have seen the documentary, Paris is Burning then you realize that in contrast to the poverty and violence young New York queens faced in the last two decades,  Irish drag culture has had a smoother path in it's development. Irish drag is all about incorporating a lot of Irish humor and stories and doesn't put focus on impressions , fishiness or replicating a celebrity. The drag scene in Dublin is booming right now and they have some incredible talents in their midst. A night at the George is never a bad idea if you want to  have fun let loose and rub shoulders with some stunning queens. In honor of the day, and these Irish bitches... here's my list of queens one should search out if you want to see some good quality drag shows.

Bonnie Ann Clyde defines herself as a woman in decline, with a big heart and a bigger butt. Bonnie appears at the George as well as Drag Aid, an event created to support LGBTQ people in Chechnya Russia. Drag Aid is a showing stopping, drag-tastical event with lips syncs, quizzes and prizes galore.

Victoria Secret is one of the Georges must see acts. And her hair is so big because it's full of secrets hunty. I caught one of her rare performances when she came to New York once...a brilliant performer, seriously dead pan funny, so, oh, super glam. Her lip syncs in all her technicolor elegangaza are not to be missed. 

And you all know this fabulous queen...probably Ireland's most well known Grande Dame...Panti Bliss. This Mayo native moved to Dublin to attend art college in the 80's. It was during this time Panti was created, and she delved into the world of drag performance. Panti has spent over 28 years being a drag queen,  but has openly admitted that being an activist for the LGBTQ issues was never intended, if anything it was a forced response to how Irish LGBTQ people were constantly being undermined and treated like second class citizens. Panti has become of the the globes most out spoken queens on many issues since,  and has been a huge voice for people living with HIV. Her comedy routines are a must see.

If you think this is a woman, your Miss Taken.  Miss Taken is probably the funniest of queens on the Dublin scene, she's incredibly witty, and not afraid to laugh at herself. She is often seen as the star of the show for drag brunch in Pot Bellied Pig . She describes herself as Dublin's premier non-death dropping queen.

Heiress Blackstone is a fabulous queen. She can be seen performing in drag shows in Dublin as well as at times in London at Cirque Le Soir, a circus themed nightclub last I knew...filled with DJ'S, snake charmers, fire eaters and an indoor funfair. She too can seen sissy-ing that walk at the Pot Bellied Pig drag brunch. Is she politically correct? HELL NO thank goodness.

Dolly Grip describes herself as-  Drag queen, Bar Maid, Hostess, Confidente and All -Round Grumpy Old Bint. Let's just say Dolly has been around the block a few hundred thousand times, and has a ton of mileage on her. But she is much loved by the community of Dublin and fellow queens as the senior states-queen of the drag scene, been around for quite some time, but highly respected in the scene of drag there.

Yes honey, make way for Regina George...by far Dublin's dancing queen. She answers to Dublin's only Category is...leggy blond fish with a serious attitude. She is part of Dragged Up, events at the George, Vicar Street, The Button Factory and Liberty Hall. This bitch slays with what she does with dancing.

Pixie Woo is probably one of the best known drag queens in Dublin. She always turns a campy fun lewk and she's a serious performer, she's a MUA so her make is always on point. She describes herself as Paris Hilton on low budget...but she is by far a iconic member of the Dublin drag scene.

This queen is a DCU business gradate...Shirley Temple Bar's career took off after being crowned 97's stand in for Miss Ireland. Shirley has had screen time on Irish television, and hosted Telly Bingo for years. Nowadays, Shirley hosts the weekly Bingo and has comedy performances every Sunday night at the George for fans who can't get enough for her.

Veda Lady is the quirky and "out there" queen for the Dublin scene. Veda bring bits of actress, singer, comedian, helpful guru to her show, Witchy Wednesday at the George. She is very well known for her distinctive looks and her fiery red gruaig.

Davina Devine has been making waves as of late, and no not her wigs. She's a racy and humorous queen, to rival even Miss Lampanelli, who can put a smile on anyone's face and has been the hostess with the mostess for many shows, including her own at the George on Thirsty Thursday.  If your a politically correct person and easily offended then I wouldn't advise this show, but I love me insult comedy. She can also be seen twerking over an eggs Benedict at the drag brunch in Bow Lane.

Now I want to go to Dublin for some debachery.....who's game?

KISS ME ......

 
☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘ IM IRISH!

Happy St Patrick's to you all!!!!  That opening picture is just beautiful isn't it? It's a picture fellow blogger Luke sent me, and it just made me happy for some reason, and I knew I wanted to share it for today! Truth be told, I'm not really all Irish, only half Irish. I also have as my other half a split of, Dutch, Czech and a pinch of Swiss. I like to think I got the best assets from those nationalities. Since I really didn't know my grandmother on my father's side, she was passed before I was born, I do understand she would always have her corned beef and potatoes...so I will remember her by cooking that for my dinner tonight. I also didn't have one Shamrock Shake this year at all. 

You know I generally over dose on those things. But I will keep two other traditions....I will watch Finian's Rainbow today, and I'm still wearing my green, because of course I am, and my Made In Ireland tee shirt which was a gift one year......so

Happy St Patrick's and Top of the Morn' to You!

And Happy Hump Day!

Whos doesn't love potato cakes?

CAT AND MOUSE

 

After my Sunday post it was intresting to see the comments about Mr Lumbersexual. Some of them were like go for it, while other wondered which way he swings. His sexuality I think they meant, not what side he positions his boy. But to the right if your wondering. My eyes don't miss much darlings. I must admit it is going to be fun to see what happens here. My libido was through the roof yesterday after he was here for his just desserts Sunday. I wanted to wear my tee shirt with Coffee? Tea? or Me? on it but thought it might be too much. And the "I Recycle Boys" tee with the symbol for recycle might have gave him the wrong impression of me. No comments bitches. But you see, your Mistress, contrary to popular belief, does not always sit like Venus fly trap waiting to devour his meal. For some reason, I sense a good game of cat and mouse coming on with him. And I'm game. A good friend of mine says I have always enjoyed that game, and they may be right to an extent. I have no question when Brice, the lumbersexual is here,  that one can't help but feel the sexual electricity in the air, and the flirting will inevitably take place, good natured, and innocent, but will still send the right signals to all the right areas!! And to a point, I get always gotten off to that if it's right.

I remember the last time this happened. It was with a guy from Harrisburg when I lived there. By damned was he hot. And a smile so hot it would melt butter. Well,  we always had a extremely hot flirtious relationship of cat and mouse, and the time was never right to date or hook up, because one of us was always dating. That said,  there were times when we would flirt to the point of very hot petting, rubbing and making out....but would never cross the line to sex.

The tension would get so thick at times you could have cut it with a knife. I can remember one pool a party where I was. With only a square cut on. We made out and and got each other so turned on, that we climaxed right in our swimmies. But why? We could have easily slipped away into the woods and fucked like rabbits. Even in innocent times, if we crossed paths there was flirting going on. I remember once seeing him in a coffeeshop,  and I pinched his cheek  and lips with whipped cream from my coffee. Or he'd be out and he'd rub my back and my cakes. And then there was dancing. Oh dear.  And would you believe this cat and mouse game right on for close to 21 years!!!!! 

It wasn't till after I and the ex boy- toy split up by several years, that I was in Harrisburg one night and ran into him. We often ran into each other on our visits out and about, but then I was taken for years. Even my ex loved Sean!!!!!  But on this night, we were both singletons again. And for some reason it happened.

We ended up back at his place, for what we both thought I'm sure some very hot and torturous flirting. But I remember knocking him up against a wall, stripping him and started oral on him quickly.  and that was it. Very. Hot .Physical Sex. I didn't leave till the next afternoon, and left very weak legged. 

And after that would you believe we never had sex again, and the cat and mouse game ended. I don't know he is even in the area anymore, but a friend did say they saw Sean about two years ago, and he turned into a very hot daddy. Part of me missed the cat and mouse playing and flirting...we both got high off it I think. But even thought the sex was very hot, I wonder why we did it, and if it was so good in bed, why the flirting didn't continue? So with Mr Lumbersexual this is bringing about the same feeling and I love the flirting. I do know he is bi, so he says, but he does come across shy and he's definitely introverted. Sometimes I feel a loneness in him, even though I don't think he is. But the way we hang and pal around feels very much the same with my first mouse. How do you feel about a good cat and mouse flirt game? And why do you suspect it goes on? I have however, always thought good flirting is healthy for the soul. So maybe next time Ill slowly slip in a nice shoulder rub! And Ill just happen to be in sport briefs.

Could this be the next cat and mouse game, where I enjoy the feeling of the electrical rush one gets from a good flirting game, or just spring for poppers? Or do I just come out tell him, and see if we hit the sheets? Either way, I will feel good.
