You Should Wear Glitter More Often-Fotd




She was decked out in her best dress. Glitter imbedded into the fabric, bright red shimmering under the disco lights of the club. It stretched tightly against her narrow hip bones that stuck out like knives. Her chest is flat, though there are false breast cutlets stuck in the tight bodice. Lassie Calhoon knows she may not be a woman every night but when she gets on the stage she is herself. She hasn't tucked every part of her real gender away, her wig isn't itchy and the nagging feeling the other queens don't like her fades. She can see the adoring faces of the men and women around her. They swarm her hands full of dollar bills. This will pay her way through college. This will give her the psychological degree she's always wanted. Lassie flips her hair and taps her feet along to the first beats of a famous pop song. The music sweeps over her, the bass pounds. She dances under the heat of theater lights and disco balls. Her hair flies around her like an elegant bird. Lassie is completely herself at this moment.
When she gets back stage she knows she'll be ignored by everyone but her Drag Momma. The big black women who calls herself Taffy and always dances to Whitney. She was the first to take her to the wig shop. They burned the wal-mart halloween wigs together in the ally way behind the club. She knew she was home. Taffy smiled at her from behind a face full of shaving cream. "Sweet wing you were delicious tonight!" She calls from the mirror as the razor buzzes down her cheek. Lassie takes off the wig and she's Richard again. His cheeks stark without blush. Richard tries to smile with his lipstick still on. It's not the same as Lassie. Tomorrow he'll go back to school. But for right now, as he puts the wig back on, she's happy in her world.

I have several friends who are drag queens, boys who wear make-up and beautiful boys who look damn good in eyeliner. These boys are very important to me. One (Josef Scarlette/aka Vozzost.) helped me become the sparkly mass of color you know now. A few years ago I would never have made a blog about make-up including pictures of myself. He told me to start wearing colors like purple to gently ease myself out of the browns and ivories that used to color my life. For this I will be eternally grateful. Please check Josef out on Youtube. His user name is Vozzost. You'll be amazed by his make-up. I promise I'll make a post about him soon. <3

Swoon A story of Love-Fotd




My name is Rush Samson, I'm gay and I'm married.
We met at a Gay Pride Parade. He was tall and thin with messy black hair and a gorgeous jaw line. I was short and muzzy headed from waking up early in the morning to travel to the city. When he introduced himself as Jake my knees went weak. Legends say that you are connected to your true love by a red string, I saw the red string wrapped around his finger attached to my heart. There was a huge difference between our lives. I a preachers son, he the much loved child of two hippies. When I came out I was cast out of my home, when he came out his parents threw a party for him.
We both liked anime, sushi and cats. Long walks on the beach and bubble baths with a can of beer. It was funny how similar we were. "I confess I don't usually date gingers." He joked running a hand through my orange hair. "But you were to cute to pass up. Plus Ron was always my favorite Harry Potter character." I just smiled at him.
We went to the Pride Parade again, this time as husband and husband. Or at least husband and husband in Canada because the country we call home won't recognize our love. If something happens to Jake or I we wouldn't be covered by one another insurance. My life insurance wouldn't go to him if I died early and god forbid if we try and adopt a baby. Even my father, who hates me with a flaming passion, would be able to visit me in the hospital while my husband would have to wait outside. I hope some one reads this and realized how unfair this is. Love should never be judged.

Happy belated Coming Out Day. <3

Celebrate!!- FOTD




Prop 8 declared unconstitutional! Two of my best friends are gay and they often mourn the fact that they can't get married in our state.I hope Ohio will hurry up and let my friends get married. It depresses me how this country is being held back by the same people who didn't want African American's to have rights. We're all human. Lets all love how we want to.
Sorry this is a little messy, it took me five minutes maybe less to do this. I should have extended the purple up a bit more and maybe blended it into the blue more. There is no orange because my brother still has Charmander. He actually hid it some where in his room so I can't take it. >.<
