Damn, that has got to hurt.  If Irish Dance could ever be part of pop culture, this is it.  And I think it has arrived. No longer will you see young girls in curly hair pieces with emerald green velvet dresses on and awful socks.  Now you will see chic people, the way everything should be done, chicly.  The two people performing are Suzanne Cleary and Pete Harding.  Get this, they were in Riverdance together!

Bedtime Stories with Abraham Willosby from Joseph Bennett on Vimeo.


That there looks like a sugar daddy to me.  One with men on segways and tigers, and did I mention men?  This cartoon is done by a young man named Joseph Bennett.  His work is quite odd, blunt, and hilarious, much like some of the flame dames in our lives.  Hope you enjoy this quirky cartoon.

Thought of You from Ryan J Woodward on Vimeo.


This is just sweet.  Sweet like a sugar cookie.  Sweet like a nice pair of pink shoes, or pink lace underwear, or anything pink...except pigs.  They're not very sweet looking, unless they are one of those baby pot belly pigs that is the size of a gallon of milk.  But all that is beside the point.  This movie is so sweet.

These artworks are done by Gabriel Dawe.  The first are done only in thread and they create the most tasteful rainbow I have ever seen.  Might I say it is more tasteful than the original.  The shoes are part of an exhibit he did called "Don't Ask Don't Tell" as a political response.  His artwork is powerful and very gay oriented.  He is a gem!  A little big about the man behind the thread:  He was born in Mexico City where he found a desire to work in textiles. However, this was not a man's occupation.  Because of this taboo stigma, his work deals a lot with issues of masculinity.  He moved to Canada in 2000 and gained citizenship there and is now getting his MFA at the University of Texas in Dallas.  I just adore his work.

Looking for something to do this weekend?  Well, ladies and ladies, you should skip on down to Theatre Tuscaloosa on Shelton States campus and see "It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play" by Joe Landry.  If you enjoyed Lindsay Lohan's performance in "A Prairie Home Companion," well then you will enjoy this play.  No, not because there are coke addicts but because it is a live radio play.  It is running tonight and tomorrow at 7:30 PM and Sunday at 2PM.  Tickets are $17 for adults,  $14 for seniors, and $10 for students and children.  Oh, and you will get to see those red shoes, worn by the lovely Lisa Waldrop.  What queen wouldn't bend over backwards for those?  Actually, don't answer that...

"Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can."- Martha Graham

Dance is something that I find to be very releasing.  When I have a stressful day, I often put Celine Dion on, or maybe some Katy Perry, and I dance.  Very poorly might I add, but it is pretty damn expressive.  You should try it sometime.  I recommend dancing to any of the performers from the Divas Live concert on VH1.  They really make it happen

Maker Profile - Kinetic Wave Sculptures on MAKE: television from make magazine on Vimeo.


This is fascinating and lovely and entertaining.  It makes me want to put on a pair of really tight, really short swimming trunks, probably navy blue:  they would look best against my fair skin.  And then I want a margarita and some clear Bahama water with those sting rays that don't sting swimming around me.  If only.  Instead, I will opt for a day dream.  Anyway, this here is Reuben Margolin.  He is a kinetic sculptor and pretty damn good at it.  I found this video and had to share it immediately.

This is so true.  I have totes done this before.  But I don't really use chat anymore because I just hate it when somebody I absolutely don't want to talk to gets one.  I try to ignore them, but they keep asking if I'm there, and then...they call!  But if every conversation was a love story, then I sure as hell would log back on.

Fantabulous from David Byrne on Vimeo.


There is one thing that unifies us all as humans:  we all dance, or have danced, in our rooms.  I have found myself dancing semi-choreographed numbers alone in my apartment while wearing heels and bikini briefs, and nothing else...except for the occasional wig...and/or dress.  This short film captures my wildest dance fantasies perfectly. How amazing would it be if your own bedroom floor turned into a lit dance floor!  The only thing better than that would be if there were half naked men dancing around you, or foam, or glitter, or all of the above.  Well, I'm no off to dance to some gay anthems.

The Shag Tree from Nationella Hivrådet on Vimeo.


Yesterday, my straight friend and I were walking through the common area on our campus.  We were approached by a young lady offering us free condoms.  She thought we were a "we."  As cute of a couple as we would make, he likes sports more than he likes Prada, oh and he likes girls.  Anygay, I was glad to see someone passing out condoms.  I think our generation is slowly forgetting about the HIV/AIDS epidemic that is killing so many in this world.  I found the video above and thought it was a sexy, humorous, and scary reminder of how promiscuous people are and why you should "wrap it."

I'm sure many of you queerlings have seen these "living" clothes thanks to Lady Gaga.  The designer is Hussein Chalayan.  He makes some fierce garments.  Think how much easier sex would be if you didn't have to take each others clothes off, they took themselves off!  These clothes are definitely art, and because they are beautiful and worn by Lady Gaga, they are inherently Gay.   Damn, we sure do rule the world!

Revenge from Lernert & Sander on Vimeo.


I chose this video for the last part with the champagne bottle, for obvious reasons.  If you can't figure out why, just think of the champagne bottle as a penis.  Enough said for that.  This video is from one of my favorite visual artists, Lernert and Sander.  They are the ones who made shoes out of dishwashers and other household appliances.  Well this video will certainly help me get done cleaning my apartment, which I always do in a pair of heels.  If its a good day, I might add a wig or a corset, but usually just heels and a vacuum.  Ah the life of a queen.

In the words of Man Ray, "Do you see what you see?  Or do you see what you think you see?"  The art above is a type of street art by Ben Wilson.  Get ready for this gals:  he paints gum that people have thrown on the ground.  It sounds pretty damn disgusting, but at the same time, it is pretty damn cool.  And he treats each individual "gum painting" as a piece of artwork, spending one day on each small piece.  So if you are ever in London, look at the sidewalks and you might be walking on a piece of fine art.

I'd go straight for her...if straight consisted of picking out all of her clothes and not having sexual intercourse with her.  I love love love this video!  It is such an uplifting anthem!  I kinda cried a little bit, and I definitely screamed when the two guys kissed, the same type of scream I use when Alabama gets a touchdown.  I will say though, that the pregnant lady looks crazy with the fireworks coming out of her belly.  It kind of reminds me of Saw, which is probs just the Halloween spirit still in me.  Anygay, I hope you paddle turn to it.

I was driving the other night and "I'm Coming Out" came on the radio.  Immediately I started tapping my fingers on the steering wheel and whipping my hair back and forth.  Why is it that that song always comes on the "family" soft rock radio stations?  Any-who, The song wanted me to dawn a rainbow feathered headpiece and hop in line at a gay pride parade.  Then I realized that the first time I ever said I was gay out loud wasn't exactly an exciting occasion.  I think its important that we all take time and say that we're gay with a little more excitement.

I found this movie on Homochic.com, one of my new favorite websites.  I really enjoyed it 1.  because it has men in it and 2. because it deals with a very interesting subject matter.  It is called "A Valentine to Loneliness."  It deals with the single gay world, which I find fascinating.  I myself am part of the single gay world and I find it quite fun, but not for the same reasons others might.  I enjoy the freedom and the fact that I am not tied down to another twink...or tied down by another twink.  This movie deals with the group of single me who use websites such as manhunt and manroulette.

What has been so fascinating to me is that this act of having sex with somebody you don't even know has started to become a cultural norm in the gay world, or at least in the town I live in.  And to be completely honest and personal, I don't get it.  If I don't know you, I don't want your hands to be anywhere on my body, and certainly not your mouth.  Do you even brush your teeth?  floss?  mouthwash?  manscape? To me, it lessens the value of sex--which in my mind is the ultimate expression of love and not some feel good sensation--that's what your hand is for.  I prefer to put on a pair of heels and dance around my apartment in underwear to Celine Dion, and maybe do a little vacuuming while I'm at it--but that may just be me, actually, that probably is just me.  

However, when I was watching this movie, I understood it, kind of, for a brief moment.  Not to say that I will start doing it, but it makes sense to me.  And that is what art should do.

Art runs in my family like the runs in my panty hose.  My grandfather was a Carpenter and a painter and my siblings and I have inherited that desire for the arts.  My sister is a graphic designer as well as an artist and my brother does everything but theatre and dance pretty much.  It is interesting to me that this is so common in all three of us.  Nature vs. nurture?  Who cares, we're fabulous and that's all that matters.  I remember being at the beach as a child and we would watercolor the sunsets every night.  No wonder I'm a homo.  Above I have displayed works from my sisters website, www.lucyhalcomb.com.  The first one is a project my brother helped my sister with.  She drew the faces and my brother came in and drew their hair and bodies.  I love it!  The other three works are done by my sister.  I think my parents did a great job creating us.  Good for them for having us!

"Hope will never be silent." -Harvey Milk

This here is a haunting yet beautiful video of Harvey Milk's political will.  What an amazing man he was.  But what baffles my mind is that there are still equal rights issues going on in this country.  Can we not set aside our differences and realize that we are all humans and deserve to be treated equally?  How do we change this?  We, the LGBT community seems to be looking for a leader, but I do not think that is where the solution lies.  I believe it is in the individual, and the power of small acts to create a synergy of change.  As Mother Teresa said, "Do not wait for a leader; do it alone, person to person."

Fluid Sculpture from Charlie Bucket on Vimeo.

I have a fascination with water.  It is one of the most temperamental substances on earth.  It can cause damage to an entire city, grow a tree, moisturize a body, or excessively dry out your skin.  It is almost as bad as Naomi Campbell. When an artist can harness the sinfully delicious power of water, I am amazed. The first video is from a company called Casual Profanity.  They are a clothing company who does experimental work. The second is from the artist William Pye.  He is a water sculpture who works with acrylic, metal, and water.  His work is just too cute to boot.  Have a lovely Sunday.  Don't forget to do your pore refining facial mask and to moisturize for the week ahead.

Girl, you better work that sand!  Remember sand art?  You know, at the elementary school carnival where you poured colored sand into a jar.  I always did a monochromatic theme, so ahead of my time.  Anyway, this is NOT that type of sand art...its actually art.  This is Kseniya Simonova, from the Ukraine.  She gets a free exfoliation every time she works.  But I bet her nails are all kinds of nasty.  Enjoy!

Right now I am participating in a production of Henrik Ibsen's play An Enemy of the People here at the University of Alabama.  This production is not quite the gay soiree you would expect to find me in.  It is about a doctor, Dr. Stockmann, who discovers the water supply to his medical baths is poisoned and is putting its visitors in harms way (circa Erin Brockovich, but with a lot less cleavage and ankle).  He lets the town know the problem and they turn on him labeling him as "An Enemy of the People."

This political play has much relevance to todays society even though it was written in 1882.  Dr. Stockmann can easily be compared to a gay rights activist standing up for what he believes in--against the ideas of the majority.  Whether you have seen this play or not, I encourage everyone to be Enemies of the People.  Stand up for what you believe in and fight for it with every shard of glitter you own.  Paddle turn those conservatives away, and make a difference!  We are Human and we are Beautiful!
