Miss G is back home after the retreat in West Columbia and there were 2 kitties here who were very glad to see her! Jackson climbed right up on her chest as soon as she sat down, and she and Shelby napped for an hour or so and that little kitty just kept snuggling herself closer and closer! It's so sweet to come home to them, but unfortunately it won't be for long!
Miss G leaves for New Orleans on Thursday, first for play and then to work! Thursday marks the start of Southern Decadence,
New Orleans' summer celebration of the GLBT community. Often called the "Gay Mardi Gras" (as if Mardi Gras itself isn't gay enough!), SoDec is gathering of the gay movers and shakers from all across the land! Miss G will be meeting friends there from California, Ohio, and God knows where else, and she always makes some new ones whenever she goes! Miss G LOVES to "perch" on the ledge above the fireplace at the Bourbon Pub where she can drink and chat and flirt and visit till it's time for bed! It's always hot as hell there, and as Miss G gets older she can't party quite as hard as she used to, but it's a great time and there are always LOTS of photo ops to be had. Just a little early disclaimer for my housewife readers in the midwest- it's really hot there, so the boys I'll be photographing won't be wearing much in the way of clothing. Just sayin'!
After that, Miss G will be busy busy helping America's Department Store prepare to open 2 new locations on the same day in the metro NOLA area! She'll be living at the Marriott Lakeway in Metairie for about 2 months as we get these showplaces ready to open, just in time for the nationwide 150th anniversary celebration. It's supposed to be a star studded gala opening, and in addition to Martha Stewart, Emeril Lagasse, and Tommy Hilfiger, Miss G's silver-haired heartthrob Tim Gunn is going to be there! She cannot wait to meet him!!!
Speaking of Tim, for those of you who missed Project Runway last week, catch the rerun next Wednesday. It was priceless! Miss G's fave won, worn by Varla Jean Merman:
She also loved these:
Unfortunately, Miss G is not going to have much time for sewing over the next couple of months so she will have to live her sewfest fantasies through the designers on PR!
By the bye, if anyone wants to see Varla Jean in person she will be appearing in New Orleans this December!

Ricky Graham has been a New Orleans classic since Miss G's sorority days, so the show is sure to be a hoot! His "local color" characters include Flamin' Ramond, the Meter Maid, and Bitsy Chardonnay and the entire Chardonnay clan!
For those of you who are hoping to catch a glimpse of Miss G, she will be back in H-town the weekend of September 6th to do a show at Tony's Corner Pocket. Hope you can all be there to cheer me on- it benefits the Krewe, so I know you'll all want to come out and support the cause!

i so want to go. in reference to the second pic, i'll have whatever they are drinking. those dudes were HOTTTT.

Sounds like it's a full but fun filled few weeks ahead. I have 4 inside cats and they all clamor for attention. I swear we need a King sized bed just to keep everyone happy. Can't wait to see the pics from New Orleans. I loved the statement as if Mardi Gras weren't gay enough...I have a feeling you will turn up the heat a notch while your there. (Hugs)Indigo
