Don't Drop Bombs...

 
Don't Drop Bombs - Liza Minnelli

Don't Drop Bombs, written by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe is a song by Liza Minnelli, released in September of 1989 by Epic/ZEE 2 as the second single from her ninth album, Results (1989), produced by Pet Shop Boys and Julian Mendelsohn.

"Don't tell me about your lack of restrictions

Guilty records and previous convictions

Or I shall start playing rough (Baby!)

You're too corrupted, and totally destructive

When you've erupted, you're totally destructive

 

Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs

Just stay calm, baby, no more bombs

Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs

Just stay calm baby, no more bombs"

Weekend Onesie: Looking For Mr. Terrific!

Weekend Onesie:

Looking For Mr. Terrific!

In honor of PRIDE month, I've hobbled together a collection of images to illustrate what life used to be like for those who tried staying in the closet too long. It's a tale as old as time...

A cautionary tale, for certain... but don't worry!

It has a happy ending.

As you celebrate this month... recall your own journey, and remember those who came (out) before you! Keep in mind, too, those still struggling. After all... as a frog in a swamp once sang, it ain't easy being green!

Yes, all of our stories are important and we're all a part of gay history. 

And never forget... gay history is real history!

Here's hoping you've found your happy ending.

And if you have, remember to honor...

The struggles and stories of all those under the rainbow!

Being Green -Kermit The Frog and Ray Charles

Oh, you know they talk about you.

Their little jokes. The snide comments.

And... you know the truth.

You live denying it everyday.

Perhaps you fear not only what others will say,

...but also issues in the workplace or with family.

You do your best  to 'fit in'...

And behave in the manner expected.

But you know...

And they know...

Then, one day, you've had enough!

And you come springing out, fully-formed, 

like Athena from Zeus' head.

The world immediately recognizes you...

...as your genuine self!

The 'Mister Right' you've been looking for all your life?

Why, he's been right there, in the mirror, all along.

So, okay... you're new to the life.

Maybe you get a bit carried away.

You're new to the scene, so...

 ...you play the field.

Looking for Mr. Terrific...

Soon becomes Looking for Mr. Goodbar!

Maybe you even gain a bit of a 'reputation'!

Perhaps you even become careless with people.

And then, the next thing you know...

You're attracting the 'wrong' kind of attention!

But never fear, you'll find your equilibrium.

And, who knows?

You may find that special someone, too!

Trust that everything will work out for the best.

And it does...

Once you accept your authentic self!

Weekend Onesie: Library Offerings For PRIDE!

Weekend Onesie: 

Library Offerings For PRIDE!

Oh, this isn't your typical book list.

In honor of PRIDE, I thought we'd make a visit to our local library of lore and peruse a few classic titles.

Yes, I know it's all taken out of context, but then... isn't that what's done when one judges a book by its cover?

These days, in certain circles, it seems it's still en vogue to jump to such literary (and literal) conclusions.

For the sake of our own amusement, let's not be so rash, so gauche.

Let's allow these titles to speak for themselves, and have...

...a gay old time!

Political climates aside...

Isn't it marvelous that libraries still exist?

Take advantage of yours today!

Freedom Of The Night - Sophie Ellis-Bextor

You're in good company!

Oh, that guy... you know, a group gets together, there are drinks, 

and suddenly it's the Algonquin roundtable! 

He even gets a dust jacket!

I don't know about you...

...but I'm no snitch.

I'll stick with number two, thank you.

Of course, such associations...

...typically lead to friendship. 

Just how special? That's up to you.

Everyone needs a hobby.

Of course, such interest typically turn into...

...a bit of a fetish.

Country boys!

And city boys!

Not in Florida, it's not.

Now, here's my kind of bible!

Get set for a bit of fun!

Why a day, a week, or a month, when you...

...can have all year?

So, if you claim it... then adhere to our protocols.

Life should be an adventure.

Surrounded by the best sort of people.

If you're super adventurous and privileged...

(It doesn't get gayer than that!)

For those who must do with less, 

there's always the local haunt.

(This is actually the memoirs of a woman who ran a gay bar in

 San Francisco in the early part of the 20th century!)

You could say she was bit of a provider!

In any case, as long as you live up to our 

code of ethics... 

Things can only go up!
