Above is Kandi delivering the best line of the night which I used in the title of this posting. I'm totally on team Kandi by the way.

I'd like to take a moment to introduce you all to my neighbor. In order to protect her identity, I'll be using the name my bff gave her--- Fergie. Fergie moved in about six years ago and right away, she started coming over to our home.

I plopped down in front of my fully loaded Tivo yesterday evening and drank my body weight in Cabernet as I watched last week's Real Housewives of Atlanta. OK, that show is ten steps beyond ridiculous with the drag queen makeup, the drag queen wigs and hairstyles, and the drag queen outfits. This Atlanta franchise could easily add Nina Flowers and Bebe Zahara Benet from RuPaul's Drag Race to the cast next season and they'd seamlessly fit in. Actually Nina and Bebe would probably seem normal in amongst those tarted-up Georgia peaches.
The housewife I find the most delusional would be HeRee.

I knew it would be a long episode when it began with HeRee working out with his/her personal trainer/exotic stripper and declaring she had the body of a 25 year old man. I mean woman. (?) HeRee also had to mention her trainer is one of the most sought after in the city and that he trains all the top celebrities and ath-a-letes in Atlanta because she wouldn't trust her pecs and nut sac to just anyone. As she spouted off about the kind of man she wanted- I chugged a full glass of wine and hummed. I find her to be impossibly full of it and can only bare a few seconds of her nonsense. I also thought she looked like Tommy Davidson in drag when she attended the alter-ego party. On the positive side, I will say I appreciate that she was working out with a face full of makeup as any good drag would.
Now please don't hate me, but...... I'm falling in like with Kim. I know, I know it's bad. Sure she's a giant clueless drag queen who smokes too much and flaunts her excesses which come from her still-married significant other, but there's something in there I enjoy.

Testing..... testing..... is this thing on? Wow, I haven't blogged in forever! Hope I remember how to do it. Well, it was nearly two weeks ago when one of my best friends, Michael, asked if I'd like to assist him with a project. Last minute, he got hired to art direct Mexican pop singer Paulina Rubio's tour. If you're not familiar with Miss Rubio, have a look here and get all caught up with the Latin Queen of Pop. So my role was to act as Michael's lovely assistant and also to create any artistic/ graphic elements needed for the show.

That's Paulina in the opening number from her first show in Primm, NV. It was early the week before last that my friend and I had our first meeting with her and her team. It went great, she was extremely nice to us and loved all the ideas that were presented. And then the next consecutive 12 days went by in a blur. There were several 17 hour days in a row as I worked to produce option after option after option for various props and backdrops. I definitely didn't know what I'd gotten into when I agreed to do this, but now that it's done--- I'm thrilled to have had the experience. My biggest contribution was to design a 24" x 40" kabuki backdrop which is revealed halfway into the show. I came up with over a dozen possibilities based on the specific requests of her team. Paulina picked two of the examples and asked that I merge them. And I did. Here's the design I created based on her direction.
