The homosexual-est weekend ever!

So this past weekend, I went to the theater a lot…in San Fran. But that only accounts for two stripes of this rainbow though. The first theater stop was the glorious Nob Hill Theater which specializes in male strippers. Not so much specializes per say as is a male strip club frankly. The second theater we stopped at was the Golden Gate Theater for Legally Blonde the Musical, which I just saw last month also.

I’m pretty sure the only way I could get gayer would be to Fleet out at the Abbey while wearing tap shoes…that or watch the Oscars. (Read more…)

I. just. died.

Judgment Judgement

Was writing an email and the word “judgement” was highlighted for spellcheck. So I looked it up, and it turns out that judgEment is a nouveau-british spelling, and considered incorrect in most american english style guides.

Oops. I think I have spelled it wrong my whole life. I may fire off a lot of typos when I am lazy or excited, but I rarely outright misspell anything.

Stella rocks the Bahamas in a Tangerine Caftan

Well here she is in her mid-fifties, rocking a tangerine caftan on her honeymoon in the Bahamas (The Loews Paradise Island Hotel and Villa), and looking totally. freaking. fierce.

This is the amazing photo of my grandmother I referred to a few days ago.

The dramatic dress, the perfect frosted hair, not a pore on her face or décolletage, the strappy heels, the gold jewelry, and the ever present cigarette (about to ash on the carpet).

This could be any night at home as well. She would go to a favorite restaurant (Stewart Anderson’s Black Angus, perhaps), and bring home a doggy bag with half of a rare strip steak and some garlic bread. I was usually the lucky recipient of this treat.

This is quintessential Stella.

Financial Guru Suze Orman: I’m Gay — Towleroad for modern gay men,

Americablog reports that financial guru Suze Orman comes out of the closet in the New York Times magazine this Sunday:

“Orman says she ‘has a relationship with life,’ so [Deborah] Solomon presses her, and Suze then reveals that her ‘life partner’ is Kathy Travis and, ‘We’re going on seven years. I have never been with a man in my whole life. I’m still a 55-year-old virgin.’ Orman says they’d like to get married, and both ‘have millions of dollars in our name. It’s killing me that upon my death, K.T. is going to lose 50 percent of everything I have to estate taxes. Or vice versa.’”
