we arranged our vacation to make sure we were back in time for the 25th anniversary Hedwig screening with John Cameron Mitchell (and Peaches Christ)
now that I've successfully worn my tee-shirts in rainbow order, I can relax
had a fantastic morning snorkeling on the other side of the island. I took a nap after we got back; we are headed out later for a fun luau on the ocean
dragged my chair out to the lanai to read while housekeeping is in the room
busy day — snorkeling in the morning, new shoes because the bottom of my sandal broke, farmer's market, dropping off and picking up laundry, napping
went out to look at this sunrise, and walking back I saw what appeared to be a very large housecat that was somehow wagging its tail like a dog — turns out it was a wild boar
found a little spot of beauty while in a tiny strip mall parking lot
tonight we went to the hanapepe art night. hanapepe was the inspiration for lilo's hometown in lilo & stitch
went down to the beach for the sunrise; this was just before I got caught in a brief tropical downpour
had fun putting these three looks together for the friday, saturday, and sunday of pride
here are all the new tracks that were released today that I added to my playlist there are bunch of others that I listened to and rejected. sorry Shania, Katy Perry, Karen O and Benson Boone, this is not your time
Here’s a photo from the Castro in August 2010, when Prop 8 was ruled to be unconstitutional.
waiting for muni; yesterday was my Ilya shirt, so today is Shane
ran into Olivia on Castro; she was working the party celebrating the 90th anniversary of Cliff's
Just love Serge Gay Jr's new mural — a tribute to queer gaymers. My favorite detail is the unexpected Peel Slowly and See reference to Andy Warhol's banana sticker on the cover of The Velvet Underground & Nico album
it's sunny with a tiny bit of SF chill. finally wearing my Rozanov tee
As part of the Conjuring Power art show at YBCA, Tina is hosting Drag For Your Life tomorrow night with a bunch of drag kings and queens that I love. Hope you can come by.
wandered over to Berkeley for the Bay Area Book Festival, although the big day with all the vendors is tomorrow
Tina and Caro led a docent tour of their Conjuring Power exhibit at Yerba Buena on Wednesday. It was great to see the show from their perspective, and there were friends in attendance. The show is up until August 23; if you are in San Francisco I hope you have a chance to swing by and see it.
I'm not losing my mind, but I'm also not not losing my mind
