Falling in love once again with fall.
I just love the fall….why? well let me tell you…let me begin with stating that not only does this lovely city i live in look so beautiful but people just look hot in the fall. I love fall fashions!!! Everyone looks good in a scarf and light jacket. The fall is such a short season here, maybe lasts two months top. I predict snow by Halloween…I remember dressing as Pippi Longstocking for Halloween in the third grade ( my first time in drag, in public) and having to cover myself with my winter coat. Let me tell you I look more like a cold prairie boy in a wig made out yarn and coat hangers than my favourite character of fiction. I digress, September has been one heck of a busy month for this sassy fellow. The month started with a wonderful visit from one of my many BFFs who now is a success in Montreal, It was a night of laughter and high kicks. The following weekend i was in Las Vegas being fierce and fab…However i still dont understand the saying “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”. Let me just tell you, i was not shocked once and have done far more scandalous acts here in Winnipeg than i did there. I did love the shopping and was blessed by the church of H & M while I was there. A shout out to all the sassy retail queens i met while dropping money like i was Julia Roberts in “Pretty Woman”. Once I arrived back home I attended a concert at the MTS Centre by the leader of the Gay Mafia himself Sir Elton John…Now can that guy ever sing! I was blown away, two and half hours of pure musical genius. I did wish he had played the song “Mona Lisa’s and Mad Hatters” but alas the show was still beyond wonderful. Hmmm what else did I do this past September..All the Gin and Tonic seems to have fogged my memory. Oh yes, as a proper musical theatre obsessed queer that I am, I did attend the last performance of Rent on the big screen. They should do that with every musical when it closes. I would die to see Patti Lupone as Mama Rose in “Gypsy”. The month ended with my dear friend Jaclyn heading to Egypt for 7 full months…7 MONTHS what am I going to do? I already miss her dearly but know she is having the most spectacular time. What next on the horizon for me? I will be moving to an apartment with another BFF Anne and the search for love will continue…
Before I peace out on this post Id like to highlight some exciting events that take place in our city..
1) Fem Fest- a local theatre festival promoting womyn playwrights http://www.sarasvati.ca/
2) Reel Pride- a local queer film fest. http://www.reelpride.org/
Both are extraordinary events but the one i most look forward to is the birthday of my boyfriend Alexander Keith…
Until next time..
*Side note* im looking for suggestions for my future blogs. Also my friend Heather has already pointed out my lack of proper grammer.
Both comments and pings are currently closed.
