Check out the fabulousness of Gen-Q! Regina's GLBT youth group is one of the most fantastic and dedicated organizations I've seen in a long time, and I just adore their enthusiasm!

So many people to thank, so many people to congratulate, so many people to mock. And not necessarily in that order. Of course, my mother did say, if you can't say anything nice, come sit next to me...or was it don't put it in your mouth if you don't know where it's been? Whatever....But relax--if you don't see your name here, it doesn't mean I don't love you...oh, wait, yeah it does.(I kid. I kid because I love...to kid...)

GEN-Q: You guys and girls are amazing!  Your energy just blows me away, although your music makes me feel ancient *L* Stay happy and believe in yourselves, and you're going to keep the gay community in Regina going strong and proud forever!

Morticia Scarlett, aka Korinne, our first Miss Gen Q: look at you with your Scully season four hair--I love it! You just keep doing what your doing and you'll always be a success--hey, you better be running for a title this year, now that your legal and all! PS We'll keep the West Harvest bathroom open for you again this year!
Monique/Tripp: Believe in yourself; the rest comes naturally. You're so beautiful, boy or girl, and work so hard, I am so glad you came back to help the kids. They love you, you know, and you always know just what to do! Great work this year, whether you were in the house or organizing from your crazy work schedule.I just know amazing things are in store for you!
Brian: way to keep on working! I wish I could see you more often, but if I haven't talked to you in a while, know that I am so proud of you and grateful for the work you do with the kids. ps What's this I hear you're moving?!
Jeremy, we miss you so much, you big retarded puppy--come back and play again soon!
Leeland, I miss you so much; so do the kids; so do the eggs! I hope that we can see more of you soon! ps my computer misses you too!
Andrea: let's make some dirty beanie magic soon! You bring the camera, I'll bring the slash! *L* Keep singing!
Cheyenne aka Miss Anne Thropy: Holy crap, how do you fit all that talent into such a pretty little package--thank you for all your help and enthusiasm--you should definitely think about tossing your crown into the arena for a big kid title. I know you'll always be amazing at anything you turn your attention to!
Jeff, aka Kraven Yurluv:  Child, you make me think things...You inspire me, and make me feel dirty at the same time. When are you going to come phone lining again?
Alura Mann: Where the heck have you been? We need a queen who know how to work a theme and knows all her words!
Kricket/Thane, hope you had a ton of fun in Calgary. Still always working so hard! You always put an extra sparkle into every event, whether it's a Coronation or coffee and Kyle XY!
Mitchell,  hope you are enjoying your time off--I know I am! And as always, this life brought to you by the Letter X!
Thomas, the kids love us, you know--we're the indulgent old aunts and uncles they can get away with shit around that they can't do with their parents. And I think that's a lovely title to hold, don't you? You and me, we give these kids a sense of where they come from. Thank you. Now go play Young Frankenstein with Bacardi Marty! *L*
Jax, Br'er Bear, You know I love you, honey,  and someday I hope I can get one of those bug higs of yours in person!
Mick, I thank God every day for blessing me with such a friend in my life. I pray for you to always be well and happy. I miss you, too!
Chad, it's been so great reconnecting, even if it's in offlines--I miss you so much sometimes I don't know what to do. Stay well and happy, you handsome thing, you!
Jason, Whitney, Yeah, yeah, if I say "it'll happen when it's time" you'll hit me. But you know it's true. I just pray for you always to be happy with one another and yourselves. Thank you for being amazing friends.  And also, zombies.
Derek aka Jenny Talia: So much talent! Good God, where did you come from? You always make me laugh, and I love watching you find your own unique niche in this community! PS We really ought to Welcome in the Sixties, don't you think? You make the outfits, I'll bring the bad dancing and fat thighs *L*I hope you know you can ask me anything, and I'm so looking forward to your show!

Elypsis . . . : Good luck tonight, you nimble little minx! Keep dancing! And I hope you know us old folks are here to help too!
Chaz Degalez (did I spell that right?): You're cute and clever and work everything you've got! Good luck!
Dex Terity: Excellent performances and I know you're up for the challenge! Good luck!

Remember, kids, no matter who takes home the bling tonight, you all have great gifts that you bring to the table, and working together as a group is going to be the key to a successful year!
 

Heather (Yuvi Rain): You faced plenty of trials this year both on and off stage and I hope you know that reigning or not, you can still call on me!  And never mind that I'm all bitter that I missed your awesome Spike number. Now let's talk about phone lines! *L* Congratulations on a successful year!
Justine: Congratulations! Boy or girl, you are always so totally cool that I can't help but be impressed. I hope you will continue to work with the new title holders and show them what a little enthusiasm can do!

PTCS-the hardest working men and women in show business! Uh, gay business... Kim, Mel, Marc, we are having our ups and downs to be sure, but the good times still outweigh the bad, and I think, one way or another, there will always be a place for this group in the community.
GBLUR-Hope you all get it together; as one of the first GLBT groups in Regina to get real funding, we need you all to be frontrunners in the fight for equality now!
RSAR Roxy, Daniel and the 17th HOUSE- I don't know if you know how important you are to the GLBT community. You are the folks who lead the way and take to the stage, and it's been that way since Bernie, Sean and I started it, and I hope that you will learn to be mentors as the new members take their turn to shine. At the end of the day, drag and all that goes with it is pretty much the only exclusively gay art form and that can't ever be taken for granted.
GLCR-This community is so rare and beautiful, no matter how we might feel after ten beers on a dead Friday night *L* You always come around to taking care of your own, and that kind of dedication is priceless. Corey and the Board of Directors, be positive agents for change, and you'll find folks ready to step up to the plate. To all the volunteers, keep up the good work, the GLCR would not exist without you!

KUDOS: Anyone who found their way to Sunday brunch or TV night. Thanks, you make me feel special; anyone I served at the club who didn't treat me like the help; I may not know your names, but I know what you drink. This does not include anyone who couldn't say please, or anyone who called me a name, or anyone who thought they were better than me; List sibs, LJ friends and online fans, you are my support system and I couldn't do any of it without you; any AT&T customers who actually have read their own bill, read their instruction manual, or NOT purchased a phone for their kid--you can't be for real!; all out of town guests who make Regina more beautiful by virtue of their presence and home town folks who do the same; God Bless you....
