ALL HAIL... THE BIG GURL!

All arise for the Queen...Lawrence Chaney!

 With probably, hands down the best season of Drag Race to ever air in all it's many seasons, and after 17 seasons of the US and international versions...I couldn't be happier...finally a big queen finally won this show!!!!!! And it took a Scottish queen to do it! I was pleased as punch and condragulate the talented Lawrence Chaney on the deserved win! She nailed it, and many shows had me in stiches.  Her first name is her own, her last name, Chaney, was inspired by the prolific movie star who was known as the man with a thousand faces, and  she is known as the queen with a thousand faces. Lawrence actually hails from Scotland, is excellent with impersonation, stupid voices, camp style and general buffoonery.

"I'm like the Loch Ness Monster, a Legend."

"I'm Scottish drag royalty, which basically means that on one in England knows who I am."

"Do they have good teeth in Darlington? No."

"There's many amazing Scottish queens. But there's only one Lawrence Chaney! And she's sat here in this chair, and it's about to break!"

"I think Bimini Bon Boulash is one of my gals, and me and my gals, we eat chicken nuggets together." Producer: chuckles "She's vegan." Lawrence: "Oh fuck."

"Im quite anal. And I like it too. How's it hanging RuPaul?"

"I'm giving you- oh my god I don't know what I'm giving you. Something terrifying."

"I wanna be everywhere, like Sypillis. Just everywhere!"

"That's not sexy...In the slightest...Ginny looks like a sex doll with googly eyes on her!"

"Im flattered! Fat and shattered!"

"Listen, I've said a lot of things this season, so I'm gonna keep it short and swift, Who's ready for the purple reign?"

MOOD BOARD

Happy Monday to you all. How's the weather in your zip code lately?

As usual, the power struggle is real with the Snow Queen and the ascending sister of Spring. It's was a beautiful one here and to be in the 60's all this week, possibly 70's by the weeks end.  After a wet, dark and windy one last week. Spring arrived the week before, but then disappeared again, only to reappear this weekend!!! What's going on spring???  Even though it's supposed to be warm and sunny, I have the feeling I may keep one or two winter coats out just in case. But I have bright views ahead and off to meet with a client today for freelance design work. In the meantime...let us temp Spring some more shall we?

SPRING EQUINOX

It's been a nice weekend, and almost...almost had the feeling for a minute the world was back to normal. Loved the sun flooding into the bedroom when I got up. I got some spring flowers from the farmers market on Friday on my bi- weekly food shopping. Nothing like the smell of hyacinths, one of the ultimate smells of spring. I can smell them when I awake from the bed...it's heavenly. I noticed that all the crocus, snowdrops and grape hyacinths are blooming on the grounds now.

Two tell tale signs that spring is here to take hold, for me,  are watching the birds, which ones have left and arrived. While I, this week,  spotted my first Robins, the juncos are still here surprisingly. And they know the trends. It's to be in the 60's all this week, but the junco won't be fooled...for they truly know. The other sign, was yesterday, the ground keeps were here to do spring clean up, edge the gardens, and start tan barking. A bunch of friendly papi's.

In the summer when it's hot, and I'm home, I've been known to take out cool glasses of my iced tea for them. Right now, a nice breeze blows through the apartment, the bedroom drapes blowing half way across the room, like in a haunted house. Birds singing, I'm enjoying a Belgian cream pasty and coffee. Out of my new mug....

Compliments of yet another gift received this week from the lovely Duchess Deedles!!!! She is a smart lady, and I love her. Thank you Deedles!  I have since named her my Right Hand...for when my world domination tour is needed. And Bouvier is also most pleased with the mug. Squirrels are not to be trifled with.  I was also tickled to see Agnes Goldberg DeWoofs made an appearance on Fridays post. I was getting worried. For those that aren't aware she went missing. I knew something wasn't good. And sad to report her dear William passed of COVID, and she then herself got extremely ill off her second vaccination. She is now ready to start life anew. You have been in my thoughts Agnes! 

Early this morning as light hit.... a mourning dove sleeping on the kitchen window sill.

Could a Sunday in a new spring be any better?  A Tufted Titmouse calling...

FROM THE CANDY SHOP

One of the perennial favorites treats of the Candy Shop. Every appearance turns into mass chaos.  He is also one of my top favorite hunks, hands down!

David Zongoli is one of the finest and hottest men around on the globe you ask me, with that hot, insanely tight bod, manicured scruff, chiseled cheekbones, gorgeous eyes , flowing mane of hair , butt carved of marble and quite an impressive package, and just the right amount of fur.  I'm sure he's turns heads in any environment. He's a model, but first and foremost he a dancer, aerialist, acrobatic and pole dancer. He's versed in ballet, modern and contemporary dance. His current gig was in Las Vegas, and has toured for years with Cirque de Soleil.  He was born in Italy in 81. Looks pretty sexy still at 40!!! He is a Libra. And like the Mistress, his Chinese zodiac sign is the rooster. They tend to be handsome, honest, bright, ambitious, extremely independent, quick, and warm hearted. Alas... David is on to another boyfriend...having left his ex, the equally hot Johnie Bravo Gjergek and on to another hottie, and very handsome man of color. But if one takes a glance to his twitter account, you'll see many other very racy activities Davide partakes , oh excuse me.........  I had to take a sip, dry mouth don't you know, but yes, you'll see Davide involved in such naughty acts!!! So the way I see it, it won't be long till he's on to the next... we should be compatible the next time he is free, I have just the pole for him to dance on. *And spoiler alert*- There won't be a video of us!

 Now one at a TIME...PLEASE!

And now some of that talent from Spain....
