What't that you say?

Hello Mo's, Ho's and you few hetero's I apologize for the delay in posting, I know some of you have to be on the edge of your seats in anticipation of when it will happen again...LOL. This week I'm going to talk About Pride. Webster's dictionary defines Pride as : the quality or state of being proud: a :inordinate self-esteem : conceit/b :a reasonable or justifiable self-respect/c :delight or elation arising from some act, possession, or relationship . This month and next all across the world Gay Pride Parades are taking place and I am proud to say so.
I am not only talking about being proud of being Gay, bUt being proud of who you are; whether that be Jewish, Catholic, Blonde, Blind or a horrible dancEr. Just be proud.
Hold faSt to who you are and don't let ANYONE tell you that you aren't right or weren't BoRn this wAy. I say fuk'eM all. Peoples insecurities of themselves is what caUses them to throW their HAte towards others. Evil is an ugly, nasty thing! I for one will be wearing my 'Tipsy Queer Hat' with Pride this coming weekend at Cincinnati's Gay Pride Festival on Fountain Square. What have you dONe lately to make you feel Proud? Keep it real, keep if FIerce and as always keep it right!!!!

What the hell are you wearing?

Hello Mo's, Ho's and you few Hetero's sorry for the lapse in posts this little queerbie has been cheating on fashion with furniture....

So this week I'm coming at you to talk about recent fashion trends and creating a base wardrobe. I'm loving the colors for Spring and Summer, but I am NOT a fan of mixing patterns. Call me old fashion and maybe a little of a clothist, but I don't think that wearing a floral pattern top DOES NOT look good with houndstooth capri's....bleh I don't care what Rachel Zoe says.

I like more classical, vintage looks and if you look at all the Fashion Icons of yester-year, Coco (The Queen of Fashion), Audrey (Little Miss Black Dress) and Jackie O (The Lady who made the Pill Box Hat HOT) you will see truly classic and never-dying style. Regardless of the current fashion trends all girls should have a Little Black dress, so taking this into consideration why should we be forced to go with the masses when 3 months from now the styles will be "old" and "out-dated" and everyone will be back to black.

Create a closet with classic styles, a good fitting pair of jeans, a nice cardigan and that little black dress as your base amongst others and add bits of color here and there with updated styles. No matter how or when trends change you will always be in style and instead of replacing a WHOLE closet with new items, you only have to replace a few items.

Taking care of clothes should be as important as taking care of your skin, your hair and your health. You treat your "kids" good and they'll be nice to mama for years to come. When updating your "bit pieces" as I call them, items not part of the core, you can come ahead a good person or with a few bucks in your pocket. Donating clothes to the needy are always good things to do, let's face it Thrift Store shoppers wanna look good to, but if donating ain't your schtick then try selling the clothes at consignment shops like the Snooty Fox or Plato's Closet. You may find some gently-used hot items there to add to your wardrobe for a fraction of the price.

With all this being said don't let ANYONE tell you what you look good in and what makes you feel hot, only you know that, but I would ask you take into consideration the words I have written here today. Go forward and be fabulous and stay the fuck out my closet bitches, ain't nobody gettin' into my Vintage Gucci Loafers besides this queer...I don't share my clothes.
