r.i.p. bea arthur...

Good thing there's such a thing as syndication and Nick at Nite :(

I remember the many many afternoons when my momz and I would take a break from our usual game of cat/mouse (I was a naughty lil dun, and would end up running around the house trying to escape a well deserved spank from my dukes) and plop down in front of the couch and watch Golden Girls... It was the only show we actually could agree upon, and for good reason.

Sadly, Dorothy, aka Bea Arthur passed recently, but gladly, she lived a full and accomplished life. She's lauded for her quick wit and deadpan sarcasm, but I mean, really? A woman who can hold down a career for 70 years is one we should all look to for motivation. And furthermore, she was a woman who wasn't afraid to confront issues in a way that was entertaining and relatable (via her show, Maude). A woman that can make a stance and make me laugh is one after my own heart- plus, can we talk about her mean duster game on the Golden Girls???

Here's a trailblazing clip of Maude's dilemma about late life abortion (before Roe v Wade was even passed)

And who can forget these LOLer coasters...

Oh, and then there's this little jewel...

Here's to you, Lady Bea <3

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Margs for erryone! If you're like me, this can only lead to debauchery...

Let's see... the last time I made a marg my manz for the night, I sprained my ankle and am now posted up. The time before that, I narrowly escaped getting tatted on my bootay... hopefully this time I don't end up in a Mexican jailhouse (fingers crossed!)

En serio, every time I  get down with tequila, I have no idea what path my life has taken the next morning, but Salud! 

ps... Piano's in NYC is DANGEROUSLY DRUNKENLY. Say hello to Roger if you make it to that spot! 

john waters is kind of amazing...

So I've been posting up in my apartment lately because of an injured ankle, and even though the weather has been so good lately, I'm not mad at kickin back and catching up on my fave movies... um, Female Trouble, anyone??! First of all, it's ridiculous and bawdy, as all John Waters flicks, but more importantly, stars Divine romping around, shakin what she gots in some crazed getups....

The story takes place in the 1960's and spans the life of a "shitkicker and a thief," Dawn Davenport, who spends her time yelling at her daughter, getting her hair did with her besties, Chicklet and Confettia, and being beautiful and criminal (the two go hand in hand in this nutso world).

Peep her clothes game! She runs about B-more (the city) in mesh dresses, the highest hair you'd never wish to sit behind, and smoldered eyeliner- Amy Wino's drag predecessor! Oh, and her wedding dress (which I could not find an image of for the life of me) was see-thru, replete with nips and bush ablazing...

So all this may be an eyesore to some, an incantation of the absurd, really- but what is life if you can't go all out? I'd wear toned down versions of every single one of Divine's fits, save for the prison get up in the very end. I <3>

Reminization..DeBarge x Punky Brewster

When I was younger, I was absolutely sure of 2 things..

• I was gonna be Punky Brewster when I turned 13

• I was gonna marry Michael Jackson,Prince,Ralph Tresvant,ALL of Duran Duran and El DeBarge when I turned 17 (hey,I was keepin it big love ;-)
  

So imagine my surprise when I found this AMAZING jewel that I hadn't seen in FOR-EVER! (Although my "past future hubby in my mind" isn't on this,it's way too priceless to not share)

ENJOY!!!!!!

While the DeBarge fam has had their share of public troubles over the years, you can't knock their hustle towards stardom..We honor them wit massive Brooklyn big ups for the magic they created in the 80's..

Go ahead...getcha full Reminization on..

Nuthin to Worry About....

I don't know about you guys, but in my past life I think I was a "worry wart", ya know, one of those people that worry about this, and worry about that, and worry and worry and worry
(you get the picture).

Well, I've noticed that a lil bit of that worryin still creeps into my present life.
Not too much, but a lil here and there...And although I embrace it as part of human nature,
I realize more and more that worry just leads to more worry!
Like getting water on a Gremlin,once you start honey,its OVA..

After incessantly listenin to Bobby McFerrin's "Don't worry Be happy" over the years,I've claimed a brand new anthem of sorts..
One that makes me schoolgirl happy..One that starts my toes tappin,which turns to thigh slappin and moves on up to full "SHAKE IT, POP IT" status in record time...OWWWWWW!!!

Chicas and Dudes..I present to you my fav new song for Spring '09...

Courtesy of Peter,Bjorn,and John..a band of Swedes showin the indie rock scene how to keep the party goin..OOH!!and they formed their band in 1999..which means, we were brought together in sum weird cosmic kinda way via my other hubby Prince
(well..not really,but it sounds amazing no?!?)

Anyhoo..cop their new steez,Living Thing..u can thank me later :-)

j'adore vintage ...

Because really,shouldn't a lady always have choices?

things that i need number 1.

self explanatory.

Even Señor Dude is over him....

About a year ago I found the most amazing toy for the resident FunkyFanny's mascot,
Señor Dude...

Sumthin filled with loads of catnip!!..Sumthin that he'd just LOVE to throw around,fling down the stairs,and ultimately DESTROY in his oh so frisky way!!

It was sumthin soooooo special that I knew that Inauguration Day would be the PERFECT time to bust it out for the Dudester,cuz of course,Kitties like to celebrate too...

After serious consideration(heavy sniffing and striking with the right paw),I decided to familiarize the penthouse of his kitty condo with his brand spankin new toy..


Aaaannnnnnnd......
in true Señor Dude form (peep the intense look of disgust)...he pushed it off as if to say..
"I wouldn't play with that Sh*t for all the catnip in the world"...




BWAHAHAHAH!!!!I love my cat!!!

BEAUTIFUL............

Very few times in my adult life have I been at a loss for words...Yesterday was one of those days...

I mean really..Are there really any words that can sum up how wonderful this moment is?..

I'm totally into "The Art of Word Combination" so AWESOMETASTIC, FANTABULOUS and YUMMILICIOUS are some of my favs..but even they fall short in descriptive measure..

A Beautiful First Family,A Beautiful Day for all to celebrate,and a Beautiful step towards Change..but one of the most beautiful things about it for me, is best summed up by this T-shirt I found on my last trip FunkyFannytizin' in Miami..



No More Bush....
NOW THAT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
