I looked at lots of veiled hats with crazy feather arrangements for this one and now I want a veiled hat with a crazy feather arrangement.
National gay magazine Pink has a very nice I Love Led Zeppelin review in their fall issue. One Pink headline cracks me up: “Megan Mullally Brings Fabulous to Daytime!” I love that. I want to bring fabulous to things. I bring fabulous to breakfast time! I bring fabulous to car repair!
The review totally wins for best opening line:
“Gay guys be warned: The explicit vaginal imagery in I Love Led Zeppelin may send you running limp-wristed and screaming to the bookstore’s m4m section before you can say, ‘Oh my stars!’”
I bought an awesome book on the art of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth for this one. Really, how else to come up with a good nasty chopper?
(Yes yes, the ads are are real, people keep asking me if they’re real. You can look them up yourself in the personals section of The Stranger if you’re over 18.)
Much as I love the web, I also hate the web. I got completely sidetracked today while I was searching for Gertrude Stein references and happened upon… fembots! How did this happen? But get this, I discovered there was a Fembot ACTION DOLL!!, and now I totally want one BAD.
When I was a kid I was a huge Bionic Woman fan. Huge. This comic ran in Tower Records’ Pulse Magazine, and a revised version is in Monkey Food:
Yesterday Michael gave me a cut and color that he describes as “far out.” It’s got a bunch of different features - shaved here, wisps there, a shock of bangs across my left eye, black and red in patches. I feel like I have a fancy hat on my head. “Fancy” meaning kind of punk/ Bladerunner/ hair-got-caught-in-food-processor - makes me glad I work for an open-minded boss (me).
Me, Michael, foil.
A few years ago, I made temporary tattoos of a devil babe and a devil dude…
and Michael liked the man one so much he had it tattooed for real on his bicep.
Exciting opportunities coming up, where you can SEE MY HAIR!

I have a framed sheet of uncut Wacky Packs next to my kitchen table, and last Sunday I was very excited to find a Wacky Packages backpack at my local Walgreen’s (yes, I bought it; yes, I use it). Is it fond memories of “Crust” toothpaste and “Dr. Pooper” soda that makes me want to spoof packages of consumer items?
Premature announcement because I’m excited: looks like Megan Kelso and I will be doing a reading at the Strand in the beginning of January. More details later and DON’T say I’m jinxing it!
When I’m in town, I stay at the Edison, right off Times Square. I’m a cheerleader for the Edison, I love it.
I even use an Edison Hotel mouse pad at home (always in this delicate way, of course). Devotion!
Hi, NUM!
Looking for a hot German phrase for the word balloon, I found a site of “profanity in 177 languages!” Among so many gems, here is a Kazakh phrase: Sen nege sonshama kizstekesin? Why are you so gay? (In 50 words or less, please!)
I went to Walgreen’s with my camera and notebook for this one. My favorite erotic lipstick color name: “Glistening Berry” - which unfortunately didn’t fit into the comic. Lots of nudity: “Nude Blush,” “Nude Velvet, “Naked Ambition.” Entertaining!
