It Was Called Yellow

I’m all hopped up on Saline Nasal Spray! Is that even possible? Pollen has turned the city Yellow. We are all Yellow too. These allergies are killing me! I can’t sleep no matter how many sheep I count on Farmville.

I was having coffee with an L.A. casting director yesterday at Market City Café.  He is telling me about a film project he wants to do involving death… out the window there was a yellow pollinated corpse shuffling down Cherry Street. Macon is blooming with extras right now. I wish it would rain.

Paddle off the pollen with a dip in the Ocmulgee River…Ocmulgee Expeditions. 

“I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
Cause you were all yellow.”  — Coldplay

I would be remiss if I didn’t do a little FROCK TALK. I, along with my SoChilites: Saxy Butler & Gracen Strong, produced the 2010 Cherry Blossom Fashion Show which turned into a media circus.  One thing is for sure, a SoChi event is never a Drag!

Our intention was to celebrate locally owned & operated boutiques: Treasure Vintage, Jack & Coat Clothiers, Ginger Michelle, Bella’s Classy Rags, Sorella, LDW Mens Wear & Taka’s Bridal Boutique while including all factors of our community. Every Fashionista knows that a fashion show is theatre and that’s what we provided. From the flame thrower to the motorcycle to the drag queen to the dramatic fashions and a Mad Tea Party theme.

I must give a shout out to two of the Bravest People in Macon: Drag Queen Deonna Sage & Karen Lambert whose cherry blossoms are made of Steel. They believed in me enough to not cave under intense public pressure spurred on by a bigot with a microphone & a door-to-door cosmetics queen. Drag Queens wear more makeup than most women.  Wonder what Mary Kay would say?
