Holy Kitty-Cat Batman!!!

Cher 'to Play Catwoman' in Next Batman Film
By Jessica Salter

Cher has been lined up to star in the next Batman movie, it has been claimed.

The 62-year-old singer and actress is reported to be in talks to play Catwoman opposite Christian Bale in the third Batman film from British director Christopher Nolan.

The Oscar-winner will join a cast that includes Johnny Depp as The Riddler as she plays the whip-carrying burglar. The character has also been played by Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry.

A studio executive said: "Cher is Nolan's first choice to play Catwoman. He wants to her to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years.

"The new Catwoman will be the absolute opposite of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry's purring creations."

Filming of the new Batman instalment, provisionally entitled The Caped Crusader, is due to begin in Vancouver early next year.

The Dark Knight, this summer's blockbuster, has become the most successful of the Batman movies. Warner Bros expects the film to make about $530m.

It stars the late Heath Ledger, who was found dead in his Manhattan apartment after taking an accidental drugs overdose. His performance as The Joker is widely expected to garner an Oscar nomination.

Cher's recent acting performances have included Tea with Mussolini in 1999 and Stuck on You, in 2003 in which she played herself.

Meowwwwwwhmmm!

Sure, she sounds a little more Mr. Ed-ish than feline, but she can work on that.

I'm having gay dreams of a Mackie Catwoman outfit.

I might hyperventilate over this one!

A Lovely Day

We threw a few towels and our bathing suits (no two-pieces LOL) in the trunk of the car and took off this morning. We landed just 40 or so minutes away in Chesapeake Beach/North Beach, took a dip (our first swim of the almost-over summer), and explored the small community a bit.



We stumbled upon a cute little gallery right on the main strip and I started thinking about possibly painting some of my Va-Va-Voom! Girls in vintage bathing suits for the purpose of pitching to beach-town galleries/boutiques.

Playing Hooky

Ron has a few unused vacation days laying around and decided to make this past weekend a long one. He's home with me today and again tomorrow. A well-deserved break for him and a treat for me...I love when he's around, even if he's doing his thing and I'm doing mine. Just knowing he's in the next room is nice.

Today we might take a spontaneous little ride out to explore some spots we haven't had the chance to since moving here.

Maybe the Chesapeake Bay area.

I better pack my two-piece, just in case.

Feeling British

Today a package came in the mail...all the way from the UK.

But it wasn't for me.
And it wasn't for Ron.

It was for Orion!



He sends a big wet thank-you kiss to Auntie Melissa for his new "baby" and yummy treats.
It's hard to tell, but I think he's been trying to bark with a British accent all day.
He's such a show-off!

They're baaaack!

September 3rd.
If you enjoy my Project Runway recaps...get ready.



It's best y'all start praying now.

When You Care Enough to Send the Very Gay

This week, Hallmark unveiled their new line of same-sex "marriage" greeting cards.
I write "marriage" in quotations because although one design features hearts in Rainbow colors and another side-by-side tuxedos, the nation's leading greeting card manufacturer was careful to avoid the word or any direct references to weddings.

According to Hallmark spokeswoman Sarah Gronberg Kolell,"It's our goal to be as relevant as possible to as many people as we can."

Hallmark is also leaving it up to all of its stores to choose independently whether or not they wish to carry the new cards. So if your local Hallmark is managed by the neighborhood's Sunday School teacher, you just might be shit out of luck.

Personally, their already existing "For my Husband"-type cards served me just fine. I have no qualms about picking out anniversary cards with all the other wives, however puzzled or disapprovingly some of them might look at me.

Here's an idea, Hallmark: since your goal is to be as relevant as possible...how about a line that welcomes the new gays-next-door?!

Cover: Welcome New Neighbors
Inside: Thank you for raising our property values!

Or maybe, since you're into wide-appeal-type messages, a general gay-appreciation card!

Cover: Thank You for Being Gay!

The inside messages could vary to suit the consumer with heart-warming offerings like: I could've never decorated my home without you! or My husband would never allow our friendship otherwise.

Or here's an even better (more "relevant") idea:
How about a line of Gay Pride Greetings???
Such cards, of course are already offered by independent companies with balls.

Don't worry about the wedding cards, Hallmark (we can continue to customize them by drawing little moustaches on the ladies).

I know I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth but...If you want to cash in on our community, give us something that actually means something and has some real relevance. Don't be afraid to go all the way. We will appreciate it and in turn buy your product.

Just a thought.

Here's some companies that offer gay-themed greeting cards:
PaperWords.com
10 Percent
Over the Rainbow Shop
Gaycondoms.com (Yes, they have greeting cards! LOL!)
Alternative Greeting Cards

Let's Talk Drag!

So at long last something halfway interesting had to happen this season on Project Runway and after weeks of kneeling bedside and saying my Gypsies Tramps and Thieves like a good little gay...Cher finally answered my prayers by way of this week's Drag Queen Challenge.

Praise her! Hallelujah!
uiogwhopfm;!!! sghsnlkm;oki ahallla! <---typing in tongues! This challenge was right up my alley and I watched carefully with an especially critical and extra bitchy eye at what the designers put forth. Why the extra dose of bitchy, you ask? Oh, did I never mention I'm a former drag queen??? Who would've thought that the straight guy would take this one?! And deservedly so! Varla Jean Merman is one of my faaaaaaaavoritest (yes I know that's not a word) queens on the face of the earth. (I recommend that everyone go out and get a brilliantly hilarious little movie called "Girls Will be Girls" if you're not already familiar with her work. Warning: It's not for the easily offended!).
Joe understood what Varla is about. He listened and created a look that is not only outrageous...but utterly her! You go, straight dude!


My penis is numb!

Korto was a close second, in my opinion. She really captured Sweetie's larger-than-life bawdiness. I almost wasn't sure which of the two designers was gonna take today's prize.


I will eat you alive.

This Week's Tragedies:

I can almost hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing Keith's name.
They're coming for you man... ENOUGH with the fuckin' shredding!!!


Holy Sham-Wow Batman! Is that drag queen wearing recycled rags???

Oh Danny Boy! I had such hopes for you.
You were the third gayest designer (second place is a tie between Blaine and Jerrell, first place goes to bi-tee-hee-sexual queen, Suede) on the show and when faced with the task of making a fabulous drag queen costume you gave us a pretty dress a biological female might wear to a fancy-ish beach wedding. You're not even butch-gay, how could you be that far off the mark on a drag-challenge???
I just don't get it. Buh-bye!


I feel fresh and confident thanks to Summer's Eve!

PS. Y'all didn't think I'd send you off without draggin' (pun totally intended) everyone down Sequin Memory Lane with me, did ya???


Ladies and Gents...Ms. Demeanor!
