Home, Sweet Home!

Miss Ginger was quite happy to get home last night after a couple of days working in New Orleans. When she left, that stupid hot tub was still hulking in it's spot at the end of the deck...

but when she got back, it was mostly gone, and the chaos of reconstruction had begun!

As soon as the materials come in, Miss G's big new deck will be laid, and she may even have a little dinner party to christen it. Most of Miss G's friends love a big deck as much as she does, so I'm sure it will be quite a party!

In other news, Miss G flew home across a cold front that has brought Texas it's most glorious weather so far this season! When the gate announcer told everyone the captain said to go to the bathroom before they were boarded because they wouldn't be allowed to get up during the flight, Miss Ginger new she was in for a bumpy ride! Luckily, it was a short flight, and we've been left with a beautiful weekend! Clear skies, temps in the 70's by day and 50's at night! Shelby and Jackson are thrilled because daddy lit the fireplace for them!

Hope everyone has a FABULOUS Halloween! Miss G is turning off the porch light and going to bed early... ghosts, goblins, and bad drag scare her!

I'm not sure which is funnier...

the caption or the photo!


It said" "looks like a big pink garbage bag filled with creamed corn!" Creamed corn- in a sentence! I'm laughing my ass off!!

For You Retired Researchers Out There...

with time on your hands for internet research...
how did the phrase "going commando" originate?

TONY!!!!

His name is Tony!!! Mr. Mischief's name is Tony!!! I win!!!!I am the first one to post his real name on my blog!!!!!

Best Wishes to the future Mrs. Mischief!!!

When Mr. Mischief said he had asked a very important question on his blog, Miss Ginger asked herself "do I dare hope?" Well, I did hope, and wish, and pray, and it came true! And Miss Alaineous replied, in characteristic fashion: "you bet your sweet bippy I said YES!" Actually, that may not be so characteristic... it was pretty "G-rated"! But that's the thing about our gurl.... you never know what she's gonna say! But this time she got it right, and Miss G is pleased as punch... spiked with everclear, of course!

Anyho, mention a wedding and a drag queens thoughts turn to dresses. Not that it's much of a turn... drag queens pretty much always think of dresses! Anyway, Miss G thought she would try to help Miss A find the perfect bridal ensemble. Here's what she's got so far:

Choice #1: Over-the-top Traditional:

Miss G recognizes that she may be projecting herself on this one. While this might be Miss G's fantasy dress, it could be a bit much volume for Miss Alaneous!

Choice #2: Classically Traditional:

Not quite so over the top, and a bit sexy and playfull with the open back. Still, it's a lot of look!

Choice #3: Painfully Period:

Knowing Miss A's penchant for history and all things educational, Miss G searched for a "period wedding dress". She got this dreadfully Victorian number with a Kentucky Derby headpiece.

Choice #4: Hollywood Glam:This Marilyn look is cute, young, and simple. And it doesn't require big boobs to look great. Miss G has never seen the requisite boobs, so she's not sure what she's working with here!

Choice #5: Over-the-top Sexy:

Deciding that a shorter dress might be the right way to go, Miss Ginger dared to search for "sexy wedding dresses". The hit she got certainly is! It's kinda cute- if Miss A can pull it off, I say go for it. I'm afraid Tim Gunn might opine: "you're teetering on the edge of costume here!"

Option #6: Runway Glam:

Miss Ginger thinks she's headed the wrong direction with this one! Assuming Miss A has the figure to pull this off (it only comes in a size 1!) I still think it's too informal to be a wedding dress. And she looks barefoot in those flesh tone shoes!

Option # 7: Hippy Chic:

In an effort to course-correct, Miss G searched for "hippy bridal gowns", thinking that might get us a bit more down to earth. I think we ended up with more of a costume for a high school production of "Aquarius!"

Choice #8: Renfaire Beerwench:

Even though she gave it a very derogatory title, Miss G actually likes this gown! The hairpiece and handbag need to go, but the bustline is great if Miss A has the boobs for it... and if she doesn't, Macy's has a bra that can fix that! I like this one a lot, but I'm not sure if Miss A will.

Choice # 9: Goth Girl Glam:

I'm thinking this may be the look Miss Alaneous likes best. It's a bit lacy, but it's still racy and edgy, too. The stylist has done a great job here. I think Miss A could rock this look.

Choice #10: A Ginger Grant original!

Maybe Miss A just needs to start from scratch and work with Miss G to design a ground-up original! Depending on the wedding date, Miss G would be THRILLED to run up a little number that would suit Miss A to a "T"!

PS: this blog entry was NOT approved by Miss A! She may think she can pick out her own dress!

DDB Weekend Update...

For those of you who are following the debauchery that is DDBW II, here's a quick rattle of the happenings so far.
We all met up at DD's for drinks, then dinner at an Afghani restaurant in his neighborhood. "Afghani" is exotic for "shish-kebobs on rice", and they were quite tasty, and just the perfect amount of food to form a base for a night of heavy drinking without making one feel all "bloaty". After a couple more drinks at DD's, we took at couple of cabs to 2x2 (2nd at 2nd) to "the Urges". After a little mangling and wrangling (and elbowing a few bitches!) we got the spot we wanted at the corner of the bar. DD instantly fell in lust with the great big bubble-butt Papi, Miss G instantly fell in lust with the cute young Papi with long hair and bedroom eyes (she remembered him from the last trip!) and Howard fell in lust with the DJ. Quelle surprise there! We were relatively well behaved except for the whole elbowing thing, and we didn't touch anything that wasn't offered. And a lot was offered. And we touched. It was all good!
Saturday am is rainy in Manhattan. We've accounted for everyone, and are going to gather in a few to head over to Excellent Dumpling House for some excellent dumplings and some Barbequed Pork Buns!!! More later!

Sometimes Boy G gets bored during meetings and pretends to be very busy on his computer! Today he made this!
