The "Shake Date!"

Even Miss Ginger, who doesn't watch much TV, has seen the infomercial for the ridiculous "Shake Weight". But she never realized what a useful workout it could be until this parody starting making its rounds on the internet! Parody indeed!

Election Update...

Annise made it to a runoff with former City Attorney Gene Locke. She came out ahead with 38% of the votes, so Miss Ginger has great hopes she will ultimately be Houston's 1st gay Mayor! The GLBTQ community has been behind Annise all along, and I'm sure the spirit will be even greater now that she's one step closer! Miss G may even have to throw a little campaign fundraiser to make sure she's got enough support to come out ahead!

Sue Lovell, the lesbian candidate for City Council, will also be facing a runnoff. She, too, was ahead in the popular vote, but not by a large enough margin to avoid a runnoff.

And unfortunately, our boy Carlos was not victorious, but DAMN, he is still ultra cute! I'm sure this won't be the last we see of Carlos in the Houston political scene! For now, Miss G leaves you with one more picture of the uber-handsome politico:

In Other Local Races....

...there are at least 3 openly gay candidates running for various City Council seats in Houston. Honestly, City Council races usually bore Miss Ginger: "something about crime"... "something about neighborhoods"... "something about transit".... "something about land use"....


That is, until Carlos announced he was running for City Council!

Ah, Carlos! What can Miss G say about dear, sweet Carlos? She met him at a black tie affair, and damn, if that boy doesn't look FINE in black tie! He's not the most experienced candidate on the ballot, and based on our conversation, he may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but really, people... are you that shallow? Do you select your leadership based solely on experience and intelligence? What about charisma? and charm? and shear, unadulterated, utter sex appeal? Now THESE are the traits Miss Ginger looks for when endorsing a candidate!

So, Miss G knows there's a lezzie running for some Council seat, and another old gay guy running for the other, and she'll vote for them if she can remember their name tomorrow morning! But, you can bet your bottom dollar on one thing: when it comes time to cast her vote for City Council At-large Position 5, she will be casting her vote for her future husband: Carlos A. Obando! She's perfect for the job of "First Lady At-Large"- I mean, c'mon people... they don't come much larger! Now, if she can just convince Carlos.... !

Tomorrow is Election Day!

And it's a big one for the GLBTQ community in Houston! Out lesbian Annise Parker, who has served on Houston's City Council and as City Controller, is running for Mayor! Both Miss Ginger and Boy Ginger have met Annise on several occassions and have always been struck by her smile and her sincerity. She is known for having run a tight ship with the city's pursestrings, which is important in our current economic environment! Better yet, while she is active, visible, and supportive within the GLBTQ community, the word on the street among the straights is that she is respected for having refrained from using her position to further a "gay" agenda. Personally, I think she has been more than "neutral", but clearly shrewd enough to remain fair, consistent, and popular!

There are 3 other candidates, and Annise and 2 others are considered "front runners". There is likely to be a run-off, and Miss G is quite sure Annise will be a part of it! Stay tuned for tomorrow nights election results- right here on TFBOMGG!

Best Halloween Costume Yet!!!

The Boys at In-n-Out always do Halloween right! Isn't Andrew's costume (r) hilarious!?

Miss Ginger Chimes in...

on Wonder Man's extension of Joe.My.God's post of the gayest album covers ever. Check their posts for those revealed thus far... Miss G has to admit that a tiny Baby G was strangely aroused as a youngster by the cover of her Orleans album "Waking and Dreaming"!

FYI... 2nd from left was her favorite!

But she also remembers, everytime her Dad would take her to the Mall, going to Musicland (blast from the past, people?!) and checking out the cover of Grand Funk Railroad's "All the Girls in the World: Beware!"

That gets Miss Ginger's vote as the "Gayest Album Cover Ever!" Can anyone top that?

Spoiled Rotten!

Nobody loves this FABULOUS weather we are having in Texas more than Miss Shelby Marie! There are sunbeams to be lounged in all over the house, and in the mornings her Daddy evern lights her fireplace for her! She's a very lucky gurl!
