Miss Ginger Wins her 2nd Title!

Miss Ginger has been a busy girl this weekend!  After returning from OKC,  she had exactly one day to pull together 3 numbers for the Duchess of Darkness contest! She started early Saturday,  and by the time everything was together it was time to get on the face and go!  But it was worth it because I won!  This was the first year for the contest,  so it was kind of small,  which kept us running ragged to get changed in time for our next number!  It was lots of fun, as you can see by the pictures on my site at www.ggrant008.com.  I want to congratulate my Duke of Darkness,  Christopher Garrett,  and thank him for stepping up to run with me!  I also truly want to thanks all of my friends and fans who come out time and time again to support me and the causes we represent!  You were all truly generous last night,  and because of that Unhinged Productions (www.u-p.org) will be able to continue giving Houston a venue for GLBT theatre!

My site also has some shots of Josh Duffy,  the emerging musical artist from right here in Houston!  Be sure to check out the photos on my site,  and check out his music at www.joshduffyonline.com. Josh's performance at the show really brought the house down,  and I want to thank him for donating his time and talent to help support Unhinged!

After the show,  some of us headed over to EJ's for the announcement of candidates for Emperor and Empress 24 of ERSICSS.  I wasn't sure who was announcing,  so I was THRILLED when my dear friend Aurora Briar was introduced as candidate for Empress.  She's always out there doing great things for our community,  and I hope all my friends will help me in supporting her candidacy!  Watch my site for details of her campaign, and when it's time to vote I'll be counting on you all to get your friends and neighbors to cast a ballot!  All the candidates are outstanding, so it's going to be a great race!

 

Miss G is taking the rest of Sunday off!  The kids look they are ready for a nap,  so I think I'll snuggle up and join them!  Love to all!.......g

Fwd: Bed Sheets

My friend Bill sent me this joke and it made me laugh out loud!

An extremely modest man was in the hospital for a series of tests, the last of which had left his bodily systems extremely upset.

Upon making several false alarm trips to the bathroom, he decided the latest episode was another and stayed put. He suddenly filled his bed with diarrhea and was embarrassed beyond his ability to remain rational.

In a complete loss of composure he jumped out of bed, gathered up the bed sheets, and threw them out the hospital window.

A drunk was walking by the hospital when the sheets landed on him. He started yelling, cursing, and swinging his arms violently trying to get the unknown things off, and ended up with the soiled sheets in a tangled pile at his feet.

As the drunk stood there, unsteady on his feet, staring down at the sheets, a hospital security guard, (barely containing his laughter), and who had watched the whole incident, walked up and asked, "What the heck is going on here?"

The drunk, still staring down at the bed sheets in amazement, replied: "I think I just beat the shit out of a ghost."

Happy Halloween

More Pics!

For those of you out there in Gingerland who have already checked out the photos from the anniversary party,  you may want to check them again!  I found another camera with more pics on it,  and these are better than the first ones!  Check them out at www.ggrant008.com! 

What a Busy Girl!!!!

What a busy week Miss Ginger is having,  and it's only Tuesday!  I've finally gotten the pics ready from "Mom" and "Dads" 30th anniversary party!

There's lots more great pics on my website,  so check them out at www.ggrant008.com!

The weekend wasn't over after Saturday!  Sunday night,  Marcia Mink Gill hosted a great party and show at the BRB, benefitting PWA Holiday Charities.  Miss Ginger made a quick cameo in her Carmen Miranda garb,  but I think the hit of the show had to be Cravyn Morehead in her Betty Boop costume!  Here's a couple of shots!

It was a great party, and I wish I could have stayed longer,  but Miss G's day job called and she had a business trip scheduled the next day!

But, wouldn' ya know,  the girl I was supposed to work with took ill,  so my trip to Nashville got postponed.  I'm still headed to OKC on Thursday, but I'll be back for the weekend to compete in the Duchess of the Darkness contest benefitting Unhinged Productions.  I hope all my adoring fans will come out to support me, and maybe even buy a table and make an evening of it!  After the contest,  Miss Ginger wil be headed over to EJ's to find out who is announcing their candidacy for Emperor and Empress of ERSICSS.  Then Miss G's taking Sunday off!  She'll need to rest after that busy Saturday!

Hope to see you all Saturday if not before!  Love to all!   .....g

Almost time for the party!

Doncha just hate that lull before a party?  You know, the part where the house is all clean and arranged just the way you want it,  but the caterers and servers haven't arrived yet?  Miss Cravyn was here this morning to put togther the centerpieces,  which you see here tucked away in my office because the kitties are way too fascinated by them. (Don't tell them yet, but they'll be partying in the laundry room!) We're all set for "Mom and Dad's" 30th anniversary party,  and it's that boring part where you don't want to do anything, 'cause it would mess up the house;  you can't go anywhere,  'cause the caterers will be here in about 30 minutes;  and you can't start drinking, 'cause it's just not right to start before the guests of honor arrive!

Hey!  I just heard "Dad's" voice! The parties starting!  I'll see some of you tonight,  and I hope to see everyone else at the BRB tomorrow night for Marcia Mink Gill's show supporting PWA Holiday Charities!  See ya there!

Another Crazy Week!

You know it's going to be a crazy week when we start partying on Tuesday,  but it was a special occassion!  "Momma" Weldon threw a birthday gathering for "Daddy" Sands at Tia's,  and there were like 20 people there!  Margaritas and beer were flowing, the cards were passed (except for a couple that were censored!) and a good time was had by all!  And the week has barely started!

"Mom" and "Dad" have their anniversary party at our house this weekend,  and we're all looking forward to that.  Then, on Sunday Marcia Mink Gill and the gang from PWA Holiday Charities is having a Halloween themed benefit at the BRB with a $100 cash prize for the best costume!  Sound like a lot of fun, and Marcia is one of my dearest, sweetest sisters ( and a former Miss Mint Julep!) so of course I'm going to be there to support her!  Hope you can all make it out to get an early start on Halloween week! 

Finally, Unhinged Productions is looking for contestants and supporters for their upcoming benefit,  Duke and Duchess of the Darkness,  on October 27th at Rich's.  Miss Ginger will be running for Duchess,  so I hope you'll all come out and support her!  Tables are $100 and if you make your donation through Miss G she gets credit for the contest!

 

Love to all!

Sunday Knights

Miss Ginger pulled herself together and got out Sunday night to support Christopher for his 2nd annual "Knights of the Round Table" at the BRB.  Christopher started KOTRT last year as a reminder that HIV/Aids is still very much among us,  and even though people are surviving longer and leading more normal lives with the infection,  peoples' lives are still changed by the disease every day.  Last year Christopher invited HIV+ individuals to share the affect that HIV has had on their lives,  and this year he invited HIV- people whose lives have  been affected.  One of the speakers was my dear friend Sonna,  who took a moment to pose with me in the photo above.  Sonna works full-time with Legacy Commuity Health Services,  so obviously her life is affected everyday as she sees the impact of the disease.  She is an incredible supporter of the community and spends tireless after work hours supporting the causes and events that pull our community together.  Blame her for the existence of Miss Ginger, because it is largely due to Sonna that Miss G is out there in wigs and heels doing her thing!

I thought the show was great,  and Cravyn, Aurora, ShyAnne, Crystal, and Marcia were all fabulous! Unfortunately I had to leave a bit early because my Personal Assistant has a staff meeting at his day job early in the am!  One of these days Miss G is gonna hit the big time, and I'm gonaa fire that loser and hire a full-time assistant that only works for me!  What's a girl to do in the meantime?  I guess I'll get up and make my own coffee!  Love you all!

TGIF!

Tonight the Hubby and I had dinner at Cavatore with the LawnShark girls.  We love them,  and we love that place,  but tonight we had to wait for a table,  which is kind of unusual.  As soon a Federico realized we were waiting he got us a table,  which of course made Hubby swoon because Federico is right up his alley!  Lucky for me Mr. Fred  is straight as an arrow,  but I have to admit he is yummy eye candy,  and soooooo sweet to us every time we visit his establishment,  which is pretty much every Friday!  Anyway,  it was a lovely evening,  and we came back to the house and introduced the girls to one of our favorite shows through the miracle of DVR!  If you haven't seen Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead you really must!  She is truly amazing!

http://www.lifetimetv.com/on-tv/shows/lisa-williams 

I never really believed in mediums and clairvoyance and all that stuff before Lisa,  but I have always believed in afterlife,  and that the people we loved in life are always with us after their passing.  Anyway,  Lisa can totally communicate with the spirits,  and proves every week that the afterlife is very interested in our lives on earth and that they visit us often!  This is really important to me, because I'm the youngest in my family,  and my grandparents,  both parents,  and one of my 4 brothers has already passed over,  and they are with me all the time.  I can feel it,  but unfortunately I can't communicate!  I would LOVE to meet Lisa,  so I could let the know I'm at peace and to make sure they are,  too!  I know it sounds flaky,  but she is SO awesome and sweet and amazingly gifted!  Maybe someday I  will get to meet her! 

Speaking of Life Among the Dead,  Miss Ginger is coming back to life Sunday evening in a benefit for Legacy.  Christopher is hosting a show at the BRB called "Knights of the Round Table".  It's been a couple of weeks since Miss G has been out in public,  so she's kinda looking forward to making an appearance!  I hear there's food at 7pm and the show starts at 8,  so headon out and support Miss G and the "merry men" at the round table!

It's my first YouTube thing!

As those of you who keep up with my blog know,  I've never had a YouTube link on here before.  Lots of people have sent me YouTube links, but so often I have either seen them before,  they are crude or juvenile,  or just kind of dumb.  If you've ever sent me a YouTube link, of course I'm not talking about yours.  Anyway,  my cousin sent me this one,  and it is hilarious.  I think anyone who is a mom,  has a mom,  or ever had a mom,  will appreciate this.  I don't know who  this woman is but I'll bet we see more of her!

Krewe of Olympus wins "Gayest and Greatest!"

For those of you who follow Miss Ginger's world regularly,  you know a month or so ago she was encouraging you all to go to the OutSmart site and vote for the Krewe of Olympus- Texas, Inc.  to win Favorite Community Organization.  Well,  you must have done it, because we won!!!!  We actually tied,  with the group that throws that silly little party every Easter,  but that counts!  I didn't learn much about sports from my sainted Daddy (not that he didn't try!) but he did say a tie is a win in his book! Anyway,  thank you all for voting,  and come celebrate with us tonight at the Fais Do Do!

Getting ready for a busy weekend!

                        

Miss Ginger will be a busy girl tonight,  with all the chopping, slicing, and dicing she has to do to get ready for the Krewe's annual Fais Do Do party this coming Saturday.  Luckily she'll have lots of help from the other members of the Krewe!  Hubby is in charge of the shindig,  so it's kind of like we're preparing to give birth!  He's been working his butt off to get everything together,  and he's kind of a perfectionist and organization freak,  so we have lists and stacks and crates of all the stuff we need to make sure it goes off without a hitch!  I hope all of Miss Ginger's friends will make it by the party,  although Miss G. has to send her Personal Assistant since he is a member of the Ball Committee and his presence is required! 

The Krewe's First Friday Happy Hour is this Friday at JR's,  so anyone who wants to come join Miss G for a cocktail: that's where she'll be! The weather has been nice,  with cool mornings and dry afternoons.  It's the one of the 2 months of the year in Texas that Miss G. actually enjoys getting outside, so look for her on the patio!

Aurora's got a show in Galveston this weekend.  Miss G. can't make it because of Fais Do Do,  but I know most of the girls will be headed down there to support the Devil Girl! I'll be there in spirit, and I hope some of the girls can make it by Fais Do Do before they head down the Freeway to the Island! 

After the weekends events,  Miss G's P.A. has a business trip to Atlanta,  so she may tag along for giggles.  They'll get there Sunday night,  and maybe there will be time for a cocktail or 2 before bedtime?!
