Philly

I'm in Philadelphia right now for a scouting trip. I've got a kick ass room
with a huge king size, with lots of fluffy pillows. Not going out with the
rest of the 'Power Gays' cuz I got me some fever blisters on my lip that are
not that inviting. PMK lives here and trying to find time to see each other
is proving rather difficult. Hopefully I'll get to have brunch with him
tomorrow. Enjoying my huge bed!!!!

'It done frozed up on us....'

It was six degrees!!

I'm sore and I can barely move. After months of not being a gym rat, trying to go out and snowboard for the first time really took it's toll on me. I'm bruised all over and can barely sit down without grimacing and grunting. I don't want to write all about it, because the pictures are worth a thousand words and then some. I do want to mention that Trannie, Red and I pitched in for a private lesson with the hottest snowboarded on that mountain! His name was John and he was sweet, caring and patient. Because of my dance background I was the star pupil on the novice hill, and somehow felt that I could take the lift to the top of the hill and make it down it one piece. Well I was wrong, what usually takes 10 mintues to come down took me and hour to accomplish. #3 was there trying to give me support, but I ended up telling him to leave me alone and I would figure out a way down. I finally gave myself a pep talk and came down that BrokeAss Mountain like a pro, though I have no idea I how I did it! I had brusies and ice on my culo! We ended up getting hammered at MaryAnn's in Chelsea, to soften the pain. I can't wait to go back!! df

I messed up..

I fucked up today at work.
There was a lot of things going on, and I thought that I had it all taking care of, and I didn't.
I screwed up a car pick up and one of the nicest girls that I've worked with missed her flight to go the shows in Milan. There are no flights available until Friday, which means she doesn't go to any of the castings for the really big shows.
My fault.
I hate this feeling, I think that I'm doing great and then I fall flat on my face.
Not a good day.

Snow Queen..

So there was a blizzard last night and now everything is a Winter Wonderland. We spent all of yesterday inside and today I couldn't stand it anymore, so Roommate and I went out into the wilderness to try and find a Sunday brunch. I called everyone and no one was available, #3 and Dad are upstate being snow bunnies, Trannie was not leaving his house and we live too far down for anyone else to hang out with us, so it was just me and my faithful roommate to make it happen. We walked out and it was total 'white out', there was wind and snow flying at our faces, Roommate was ready to quit, but once we went for it he became a good trooper and I tugged and pushed him toward our goal. Halfway there Manny and Nomad called us to see where we were at, and they wanted to meet up with us at the LoSide diner, which is a little farther than where we had wanted to go, so we changed direction and started for the diner. He are the resulting pictures and as you can see it was still snowing and people were out and about. We had fun playing like little kids and making a game of it, we kept saying that if this was a story about people being stranded in a snow storm and having to walk millions of miles for help, Roommate would have given up and died in the snow. I kept pulling him and shielded the snow from him, if this would have the Realworld/Road Rules Challenge he would have been sent to the gauntlet and Abe would have to come and throw him over his shoulder to get him to cross the finish line. Brunch was good, very
inexpensive, everyone showed up. Kuddles and Flaca came by and we had good conversation and I drank way to many cups of coffee. After brunch I walked home alone and enjoyed the
serene blanket that was thrown across the lap of the LES. All these images were captured on my camera phone, and I think that they look pretty good, can't wait to get uptown and finally pick up my bag. I'm tired and about to veg and watch t.v. and play online. And to the people on the west coast, I hate you.

Heatherette

I've been sick the last couple of days with a fever and a cold. I guess I can't work almost three weeks straight without a day off and not pay for it. So here are the pictures from Heatherette that I promised. I was able to score some tickets from my boss since he hates going to the shows now, and since I'm learning and eager to go the shows he gave them to me. I decided to take my good friend Hollywood, since this would be her first fashion show in the big tent, and me too! I didn't want any drama that night, but there ended up being a lot! I ended up sacrificing my tickets to the fashion gods, namely my director and owner of the company, so I was forced to go to the show with my friend in tow and a determination in my heart to see this show. I walked to the backstage entrance and used my bosses' name to get an all access backstage pass, and it worked! I was able to smuggle Hollywood in, but we were still a little scared that we would get found out and we kept dodging the security. After a while of feeling like I was going to be put out, I told Hollywood to go backstage and get some champagne and I would figure out a way to get myself in, so I walked back to the sign in gate and asked for another lanyard for my assistant, and to my surprise they quickly handed one over, so I was golden! We got inside and it was such and amazing circus, it was like the Boysroom on Saturday night, only it was brighter! We walked around and drank champagne, while Hollywood gushed at the spectacle of it all, I pretended to be jaded and not care. But really I was screaming like a little girl that I was backstage and able to see the real workings of a fashion show. I sometimes love the backstage work more than the actual show, must be the make-up artist in me. Tons of models and hangers on were to found all around, as well as drag queens, transexuals and freaks and all sorts of East Village staples. Some of the highlights include are as follows.

• Richie Rich and Amanda Lepore saying hello to me, I guess if you spend enough time being drunk at the BoysRoom they remember you.
• Free Champagne!
• The models that I help represent seeing me and getting excited, I forget that they still get nervous and need support.
  
• All the sad left over reality TV stars that are hanging on to their 15 minutes!
• Naomi Campbell being rushed in, late, for hair and make-up. I was not aware it was her, I was talking to someone with my 5th glass of champagne, and I was almost pushed over by a large security guard, when I whipped around to see what was going on I did the gay inhale! Naomi was four feet from me! I went to gay heaven right then and there.
• Spending time with my Roommate and seeing him in action, he wasn't supposed to work this show, but jumped right in and I was very impressed by him and his skills. I guess he save all his energy for two weeks a year, because he was on FIRE!
  
• The show itself was okay, but the audience was full stars and fashionistas, Hollywood and I were given seats away from each other but we didn't want to separated so we chose to stand, but Hollywood being so little I made her take the last single seat so she could watch the show and thus get all these pictures!

I had a great night that night here are the pics!! I'm off to bed! I went to the finally of Project Runway today and I will post on it tomorrow, there's a snowstorm coming so I'm staying indoors! DF.

My usual Meal......

This is an excerpt from an email conversation that I had with my BFF Lencho. I'm sick right now, recovering from the Heatherette show last night that I will write about later on today when I'm able to get the images up and running.
-DF.
________________________
I ate my usual meal.
It's what the Korean men at the deli call it when I come in looking tired from work around 8pm.
"The usual my friend?"
"yeah"
Which translates to turkey, bacon and cheese with everything and mayo and mustard.
When I go up to the counter with my chips and water, and my sad individually wrapped cookie, the guy has the nerve to ask me..
"What? No ginger ale?"
"I have a 2 liter at home."
"AAH, GOOD, GOOD! You save money!"
I didn't want to tell him that I have two 2 liters.
I ate my meal in the dark.
He hooked me up, the guy, it was a heavy ass sandwich. He's liked me ever since I came home drunk really early in the morning one day and shooed away a strung out, tweaker punk-goth kid from his store.

The FIERY Arches....

Umm, the worst thing that could ever happen to a fat gurl like me, just occurred. I don't know when, or how, but I was sitting at my desk and someone asked me if I wanted Mcd's and I said NO. I thought that I was having will power, I mean I walk past it every day on the way to work, so I will not be tempted, the Golden Arches? My culo, more like the Fiery Arches, that guard the way to HADES! So I'm sitting here being a diligent Mexican when I hear the skinny people clap and yell, McDonald's is here! What? Here? I happen to look over and standing at the elevator is a MacDonald's employee holding a bag of what can only be sweet, sensuous, sinful goodness that was wafting it's siren like sent over to me. Large FRIES!! I started to sniff..
"Umm, they deliver?" I asked, afraid of the response, know full well that if I asked or looked I would turn into a salty fry.
"Yup!" They choke as they shovel handfuls of the death sticks into their mouths.
"I didn't know that they delivered." I gulp.
"Jose, this is NYC. They deliver everything here." I start to sniff the air and my professional nose asks them..
"Who ordered chicken nuggets? (sniff) And a cheese burger..sniff...sniff.. and an apple pie?!" They all stood there in awe of my fat gurl prowess.
"Do you want an extra order of fries? They gave us one by mistake?" I leaped across the table like a cheetah at a wounded wildebeest. And I now sit here with a large order of fries, greasy hands and salt on my sweater. I'm scared, I know they deliver now, and it's only a phone call away and there will be no shame that I get when I know that people see me walk in. It's become too accessible, somebody call Kirstie Alley and Jenny Craig, NOW!
"Does anyone have any ketchup?"

ONE YEAR!!??

I just freaking realized that today is my blogs birthday!! Holy CRAP!! I can't believe that I've been writing in this for a year. I know that I've been away for stretches at time, but it's still nice to know that I've kept up with it, all my high and low points have been captured! And some of it has been captured on film, look how far I've come in a year. I'm still struggling to pay some of my bills, but then again, who isn't? I'm in cool place right now, and I know that it will get better. It's funny, I was having a blah day last year in March when I made a prediction that I would be making a an impact in the fashion world, and I know I am!
I want to thank all my friends who let me write about us and those of you who don't! Just bear with me, I have a lot of changes in store for this website, I got my best girl Lencho working on some ideas!
I'm still at work as we speak, and honey let me tell it's about Fashion Triage!!!

HEAR WHAT OPRAH HAD TO SAY ABOUT MEN:

 
  HEAR WHAT OPRAH HAD TO SAY ABOUT MEN: 
 
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. 
If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay. 
Stop making excuses for a man and his behaviour. Allow your intuition (or 
spirit) to save you from heartache. 
Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be. 
Slower is better. 
Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy. 
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve 
then heck no, you can't "be friends" A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. 
Don't settle. 
If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. 
Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at 
yourself a year later for staying when things are not better. 
The only person you can control in a relationship is you. 
Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He 
didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any 
differently? 
Always have your own set of friends separate from his. 
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. 
If something bothers you, speak up. 
Never let a man know everything.* He will use it against you later. 
You cannot change a man's behaviour.* Change comes from within. 
Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are... even if he 
has more education or in a better job. 
Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less. 
Never let a man define who you are. 
Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on 
you. 
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you. 
You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is two way 
street. 
You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about 
baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship. 
You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship 
consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not 
supplementary. 
Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right. 
Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and 
you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted. 
Never move into his mother's house. 
Never co-sign for a man. 
Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need. 
Keep him in your radar but get to know others. 
 Share this with other women... You'll make someone smile, another 
rethink her choices, and another woman prepare. 
 
 Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong, Sorrow keeps you 
Human, Failure Keeps you Humble, Success keeps you Glowing, God Keeps us 
Going.
