Christmas Present:


Years ago my Mom would sit me down in front of the department store Christmas catalogues and say, “Circle what you like and I’ll make sure Santa knows what you want.” Then she’d hand me a,




















And I would study the pages and pick out the things I wanted.

I was never disappointed when I unwrapped the presents under the tree.

Here are some of the things in Christmas past that I circled.


























The groovy clock.

























Dapper Dan.

























Leopard print jammies.

























Snoopy.

























Robots.

























Lava Lamps.

























Lester AND Hugo.

























Barbie’s Karosel Kitchen. I know, I know, I cried when I got a baseball mitt until my dad went to the store and got it for me.

























So Christmas present has not been good. Really it's been horrible. We all get the Christmas we deserve.

Here’s a list of things I want Santa to bring me this year.

Auntie Mame’s Chinese front door. Complete with eye holes and smoke. Just like the ladies room at the oriental theater.























Robbie the Robot! With real working subservient behavior. Able to make a dress from diamonds!

















































An I-Victrola.


























The Jill Munroe Paper Doll.

























I WANNA BE MISS TRUCK STOP FAVORITE! Just once in my life, I wanna be the FAVORITE. Not including second grade class favorite.






















Here’s my Christmas Music Extravaganza. It’s filled with groovy music. Not your ordinary playlist! Listen to it.






Happy/Merry blah blah blah.

    Aww! Go’on you flatterer you. No really, go on…

    LX - “Wishing you the best Christmas ever.”

    Thank you so much. I could really use it. People have been so stressed this year. Mean, Mean, Mean.

    I have to admit that I had a wonderful childhood and one I wouldn’t trade for anything. My parents are really cool and let me be the queer that I am without drawing any attention to it. Not that my Dad liked it but he kept that to himself. It’s my adulthood that’s bothering me.

    “who's singing?”

    Thank you for reminding me. I added the playlist in the post and here just for you.

    The taste only got better as I got older. In fact I majored in good taste at college. Somewhere along the line my penchant for the outré became more dominant.

    Happy Happy Merry Merry Ever’body!

  7. I used to own a fibre optic lamp, great for trippin.

    You're right about our taste changing as we get older, I passed a display of tiger print suit cases in House of Frazer today, I would have bought one if it wasn't for Carmen nudging me and saying no they look cheap.

    It's Christmas Eve in 25 minutes!

    Happy Christmas Ayem8y all the best!

  8. I insist on a New Year's Eve PJ party at Infomaniac's. Get that lazy Mistress bitch to work, that's what I say.

    You'll always be Miss Truck Stop Favorite to me.
