Hello Mo's, Ho's and you few hetero's, sorry it has taken me soo long to blog something new, this little queer has been a busy, busy bee. This week I want to take a moment and talk about image and health. I'm all for freedom of expression and wearing what you want, but there are just some cardinal rules that SHOULD NOT be broken. I often think to myself "What in the hell" were they thinking when they chose to wear that outfit, then I remind myself most aren't as saavy or fashion forward as myself and my readers, but there are just some things that certain people should not wear.
I don't care how hot you think you look when you put on those spandex or pajama jeans, but if your ass is stretching the material beyond the limits of the known capabilities of physics or your gut is overlapping and hanging down to your ankles....oooh child you ain't looking pretty. I am not trying to tell anyone how to dress or what they should wear, wait who am I kidding HELL YES I am. I mean come on seriously drop the few extra bucks and buy the next size or five bigger.
No matter your body type there are tasteful ways for all of us to dress and unless your goal is to become the newly crowned Miss White Trash USA, then head my advice. Now if you aspire to be the afformentioned beauty queen then go on with your bad self, just keep it in the back woods you come from please.
One way to improve our body image is through exercise and I know some of you may be scared of the typical gym with all the beefcakes and machines that look like some sort of Cold War torture device, but there are other ways to increase your energy, decrease your pant size and have fun with it. I have belonged to many gyms over the years and have come to the realization that I am not someone who can find the motivation to work out in these places, so I have looked elsewhere. I have tried everything from Yoga to Belly Dancing, Aerobics to Spin Classes, I even went as far as trying pole dancing classes, but none gave me what I wanted.
Because of a friend and a fundraiser for the local High Schools Boys Basketball Team I discovered ZUMBA. Let me tell you ladies and gents I have never had so much fun and sweated soo much in one hour than I do at Robin's class in Amelia at 'R Place'. Classes are only $5 each, there are packages you can buy and the higher the price, the more "FREE" classes you get. Don't worry if you can't dance or feel that you are the most uncoordinated or clumsy person out there, this class is for everyone. I have been doing 2 classes a week for 3 weeks and have already lost 5 pounds; which is a good thing cause mama's got a hot two piece I gots-ta fit into. SO if your looking for a place to shake your ass whilst sweating the pounds away check out the website below for a class near you.
And if you choose to wear spandex to the class, please make sure you wear a shirt long enough to cover your front butt cause I don't wanna see your cooter sweat!!!
To find a Zumba Class near you go to - www.zumba.com
If your in the Amelia/Beechmont/Eastgate/Anderson area check out Robins site -

Hello Mo's, Ho's and you few Hetero's I'm coming at ya with Mojito in hand this week. Many people don't know about something fabulis that happens downtown in the Queen City on Friday nights. What is this you may ask, it's ladies night at Bartini....
Bartini has quickly become the Queen City's premier location for all the single ladies to party at on Friday night. Not only do they offer up good music from Steve the Greek from Cincinnati's very own Kiss 107 FM, but they also offer over 100 different types of Martinis. If you like to drink like I do then your taste buds will never be disappointed.
From the 'Sweet Tini' to the 'Ocean Blue' there is something for the Martini Coniseur in all of us. The place has a bumpin croud, good people and is located in the heart of downtown only a few blocks from Fountain Square, there is something for everyone.
This bar is one of the few "Str8" bars that cater and accept all walks of life. Upon looking over the crowd you will see a mix of professionals, college kids, street kids, Emo punks and up and coming Drag queens. Not only does this place offer all of the above, but it is located next door to Mr. Sushi; which is open until 2 am. And did I forget to mention that the Queen City's very own 'Pure Romance' hosts it all.

When to know when to trust your gut.....
Hello Mo's, Ho's and you few hetero's...this months Cosmo got me thinking about when we should learn to trust our gut. I took the quiz in the back and based on my score I have 'Awesome Instincts' - You and your intuition are like BFFs: super in tune. Our instincts play a HUGE part in how we react to situations and what we choose to wear, eat and whom to be friends with on a day-to-day basis. Some people are afraid to trust theirs due to how they were raised or what their society or religion tells them is wrong. Instinct is an INNATE part of who we are, by not trusting them you are not trusting yourself; therefore not living life to it's fullest.
Some situations will give you butterflies upon first reaction and may even be a little scary, causing your first reaction to shy away and say no. How do you know that you aren't passing up some life changing experience? I'm not saying to go all cavalier and throw all caution to the wind, but trust your instincts they will never steer you wrong.
I have been in many a awkward scenario and wouldn't change anything that I have done. I have met soo many good friends and experienced soo many awesome things, somethings I will never forget. One specific night comes to mind. Years ago my husband, a good friend and myself were in San Francisco visiting some friends and were on our way out to a club one night. We were going to walk to the club, as it was only minutes from our hotel, but decided to take a cab. Turned out the cabby knew the door guy and got us in free. While in the club we met up with our friends and started our night out. Throughout the midst of the night we met soo many cool people, some most would shy away from talking with based solely on their appearance, but we ended up going to a private club and got to experience the sun rise over the Golden Gate Bridge, something like I've never seen before. By trusting my instincts I got to experience a night out like no other and in the process made some pretty awesome friends I still keep in touch with.
Now I understand most peoples "risk taking" ratio is lower than others and I wouldn't expect anyone to do anything that would put them in harms way. I would ask that once, just once take that risk and see what lies on the other side of the looking glass Alice. Don't go through life with blinders on because you'll never know what opportunity or friend you may be passing up. As always my loves take care of one another and make each day count remembering to leave your mark on the world and make it one that counts!!!!
