Can we say” busy week”?

All moved out of the old apartment. Most of my things are moved into the townhouse. Thankfully, Paul has the rest of August to move his bedroom and office over. No more moving after this. Ever. We seriously want to buy this townhouse. Spaced themed housewarming party soon!

The trip to Roswell was nice. Got to meet a lot of Paul’s relatives and go swimming. I got to attend my first and hopefully last Catholic mass. I started falling asleep. No wonder they make you stand up and sit down. Totally snoresville. But lots of good food was eaten and I hope Paul’s uncle is raising hell in heaven.

We stopped in Ruidoso on our way back. Had lunch with Paul’s friend Chad and found the Batmobile. This time it was the one from Batman Forever. Eh. But a Batmobile none the less.

I still need a job. For two months.. I’ve so been putting off the job hunting because of the great upheaval. But now, I needs the money. Anybody know of anything?

More unpacking and sorting and cleaning to do. And more pictures!

Paul and Fritz getting ready to go for a spin. Heading back from Roswell, we say this rainbow over a valley near Belen.   I made a fringe belt out of two t-shirts.My hooping corner. <3

Does your dog bite? Yes indeed!

I survived Roswell. They don’t fuck around with their fireworks. The last day was verrrry long. Lots of selling and packing. Didn’t get to leave until 2:30 am. Thinking that driving home the 3 hours on the little sleep I had would be suicide, I found a nice hotel room and slept for a couple hours and then finally made it back to Abq.

Overall it was a good experience. I was in desperate need to get out of Albuquerque and do something different. And overall, it was probably one of the best retail jobs I’ve ever had. Go figure.

Today it’s getting back into “ Oh shit you got to move so you better start tying up loose ends and stuff” mode. Yeah I need to get a move on. First up, getting a PO box. Then switching banks. Then more sorting and packing and stuff. Must go to the bank and cash my last paycheck.

I want to have a yard sale around the end of the month so keep an eye out for the date and save your pennies to come and by my stuff!!

I now leave you with a song that has been going through my head all week. I’m so glad Sean had these dvds and I could relive my 90’s childhood.

Congratulations!!

How not to: Be a Giant Twat

An issue has come up in our tiny little burly-q community. One very jealous performers has taken it upon herself to deem other performers inferior. I take issue with this because she is insulting my friends and YOU. DON'T. DO. THAT. EVER! It would be one thing if this bitch had talent. If she had talent, she would probably know what respect was. But she doesn't. It's laughable and just sad. She is really good example of how not to do burlesque and how to have a bad attitude about performing and how to fuck your chances of being respected in your community. She really needs to step off before she gets cunt-punched.

So, what's the best way to deal with someone like this? Why write a blog post and vent of course.

The best way would be to ignore it. It draws attention to her, which she doesn't need. No press is bad press right? Hold your own, keep being badass. That's the remedy. Eventually once the person realizes that they have shunned themselves, they will either slink back into their dark corner or get run out of town. ( Light the torches!)

Or there's the Showgirls solution and you can just push the bitch down the stairs.

She fell.

Or a burlesque dance off. Electric Slide in the house. But the best solution, let her get busted for a DWI.

In conclusion, how not to be a giant twat:

• Don't shit where you eat.
• Have some respect for yourself and other people.
• If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
