Almost Recovered...Happy Pri...snore...

Pride weekend was not only a rousing success, it was really a lot of fun. But DAMN, two days of celebration wears a body out. Especially when it takes so much work to be so fucking fabulous.



From left to right, there's me, co-host, Matty, food fixer extrodinare Matt, and co-host Pakio. This was us in Volunteer Park on Saturday afternoon shortly after the end of the parade on Broadway. I did my own make up (which is why I've got a mask covering it :P), and Pakio designed himself and Matt.



Here's mine and Pakio's cock shot from the staging area of the Sunday parade. I think I look like a tubby leather lumberjack but whatever. Those wings had taken hella abuse Saturday night as I got sloppy. Thanks to Matt and Pakio for the emergency repair job before we left their place. Don't they look good. Unfortunately I apparently threw them on the ground and jumped up and down on them later that day cause when I looked them over Monday morning they were kind of in shambles.

Oh well, it's not Pride without at little destruction of fabulousity, right?

Just a little over a month till Vancouver Pride.

HAPPY PRIDE EVERYONE!!

What it's all About



Sure glitter and booze are an important part of Pride. But there's a deeper level. Before cracking that first bottle, check out the Stranger's article charting our gay evolution as written by notable fags and dykes.


Not only does this give you a touching feel for WHY Pride is so important, but will give you that extra boost toward slamming those first few shots before dancing in the streets wrapped in your rainbow flag and telling anyone who can't be bothered with us "FUCK YOU!!"

It Starts!!



While we won't be there, if you want to get a jump start on Seattle Pride events, tonight is a fashion show at the W Hotel downtown. If anyone has the time to check it out, let us know how it went.

Happy...Pride?



The past few weeks running sound for La Faux, I've been grabbing one of the new fatty cans of Jolt cola to keep me pepped up and raring to go. The fact that they're designed like a battery makes sense. But instead of a negative and positve end they have plus signs on both sides and a logo on the side which reads "IT'S ALL POS!"

Really?

No marketing person put the extra 10 seconds into thinking how that could be misread?

Alright.

I miss the 50's



In Tulsa, a car that was buried 50 years ago as part of a time capsule was unearthed and revealed to be all rusty cause water got in at some point, even though the car was stated to be able to "withstand a nuclear attack."

My favorite part is that a "typical" woman's handbag which was in the glove compartment contained make up stuff...and tranquilizers.

I guess she left the Lysol for douching at home.

Masochism is fun!

10 minutes to Wapner...




Wikipedia comes through once again in keeping my caldendar up to date. Today is Autistic Pride Day.

I can't think of a comment that doesn't make me sound like an asshole.

Oh well, HAPPY PRIDE!!

Pride's on the Horizon



While Pakio was at Portland Pride last weekend, another celebration of Pacific Northwest Debauchery was going down here in Seattle. The Freemont Solstice Festival is known for it's naked bike riders and general crazy liberal hippy-ness. Not that I have a point of reference, but it seems to be like Chicago's Market Days.

What is it about a naked man on a bike that just makes me want to whip out my rainbow flag and prance down the street celebrating the freak in us all.

Damn Evergreen State College, you broke my brain.

Mr. Wizard Burial Debacle



Family and friends of the late Don Herbert, aka Mr. Wizard, were shocked when his will revealed his wishes for the treatment of his earthly remains. An educational icon for both the baby boomer generation and their children, Mr. Wizard used the new medium of television in the 1950's to show children that science doesn't have to be all lab coats and bunsen burners, but can be found all around us and explored with common tools found in the kitchen.

The Last Will and Testement of Mr. Herbert specifically states that he wants his body preserved in a glass bottle whose neck opening is only half the width of his body. This recalls a popular experiment from his show where an unboiled egg is sucked into a bottle via the vacuum produced by a piece of paper burning all the oxygen within the bottle. "Not only is it highly unusual," stated coroner Max Gilbert. "But, given the fact that the human body has many more joints and corners than an egg, it could wind up being extremely messy."

It seems ironic that perhaps the best person to anticipate how this experiment will fare would be the late Mr. Herbert himself. As of press time, Mr. Herbert's family still hadn't decided if they were going to use a clear bottle, or an amber one in the design of his favorite beer, Pyramid IPA.

New Horrors Revealed in TB Case



In an exclusive interview with Dianne Sawyer on Good Morning America, the tubercular Andrew Speaker and his wife sat down to discuss the little known side effect of this fatal disease. As well as destroying one's lungs, the disease causes people to transform into a platypus. Mr. Speaker displayed the first step in this progression with his new bill growing from his face and replacing his human mouth and chin.

Over the course of the interview he outlined the steps that his doctors told him would occur. In the next few weeks he will develop webbing between his fingers and grow fur all over his body. "To be honest," he said. "I've made peace with most of these changes. Though I'm really not looking forward to laying my first egg." His new wife Sarah Cooksey simply sighed and looked on despondantly through the entire interview.
