CHANTALLE/ALEX
FORDAZE: You are one of a kind! Your energy is ridiculous
and you know what you want and have the drive to get
it! You did a great job learning as you went along and not
letting people get in the way of your goals. Don't ever lose
that. Also, now you won't be using those big Puss N Boots sad eyes on
me for protocol anymore *L*
FEATHER: You
are f**king
brilliant--thank you for smashing stereotypes, kicking ass with your
talent and
energy and doing it all with a smile! You are humble to a fault, and so
talented! Thank you for everything you did for our community this
year!
BERNIE/ANITA: 26 years later....so , really, what I'm saying is, this is all your fault.....thank you.
CAESAR: Thank you for all your hard work. When everyone around you is flailing around in gallons of drama, you just cut through the crap and get the job done, and that's an amazing gift!
DEREK AKA JENNY TALIA: I
know you miss Carmichael but you made my whole night. You are a
constant source of inspiration for our community, and I hope you know
you are cherished.
HARVEY STEELE AND KENYA DEWITT: Thank you for joining us this weekend--you are just way too adorable!
JEFFERSON: Wow. Just wow. ::head shake::
JOYCE: You are awesome, and I'm not just saying that 'cos of the scones!!
LEXY: Welcome home!
NIKKI & KAT: Hope to see you at more brunches now! We need to hang out more!
ROB:
The consumate host. And no matter what's going on,
you always have a smile for folks and a way of putting them
at ease. ps, I hear you and I need to have a Legends of Tomorrow
marathon!
YADA/GERRARD: So we'll have to have a "music for shows" workshop I think. Thanks for your patience.
JASON&WHITNEY:
Just 15 more years and drag shows will be a family
event! In the meantime, we've got brunches, rides to work,
and suppers to enjoy while we adore and mock your kid in equal
measure!
JOELLE: Now that you've gotten your feet wet, you'll have to come for one of our big shows sometime!
MITCHELL:
My friend; my very special friend. Thank you for your
continued awesomeness. Here's to many more BBQs, card
nights, coronations and super hero movies together!
ps, your timing and shooters were perfect tonight!
JAXXX
OFF: Your enthusiasm is undeniable!
JUSTIN CIDER: I can’t choose what’s sexier,
your eyes or those darned flashy runners!
MAXXX POWER: You came out and did the work
before you hit the stage and that’s so appreciated!
KITTY BOO: Great dresses; I look forward to
getting to know you better.
LA LA BOTTOME: You have an eye for beauty
and are so at home on stage!
MISTRESS MOLLY CYRUS: It’s wonderful to
have trans folk participating in our community and I hope it continues!
GIRTH BROOKS/BRETT: I know it’s hard, but
ask for help, ask the questions, don’t take it all personally and my god don’t
ever stop creating things! Whether at home, in a parade, at our club or
anywhere you have a phenomenal gift and it’s inspiring.
DEMONA LISA: My awesome travel buddy, listener, call center queen and dutchie, naturally—you are a true friend and I wish for you and Andrew every happiness you can imagine – and your show was the best ;) #Demona2018
MAYA FANTASEE: Please catfight with Adora ALL the time---that shit will never get old!
A'DAM GOODTIME/NATHAN: Just be happy,
please. And know that no matter how many times I call you Duke, I know you are
really a true Prince! And a clown. A scary clown….
HELLACIOUS ACRES: Our often
directionally challenged (weren’t we just in South Dakota), sometimes missing
Empress and a wonderful friend. Think good thoughts and perform noble deeds
with a smile and no one can fault you. I know it’s hard but you can do it,
Trophy Wife!
KERRY: There’s loads of things going
on with you right now that I know you are struggling with. Let me know if I can ever help! I also know you are
brilliant and kind and fun and also stubborn, and everything’s going to turn
out just as you need it to! Hellacious is lucky I agreed to share you!
GLCR: Well,
it’s hard to say what’s
going to happen. The twinks have all abandoned us for Rouge, and they
won’t
come back til it’s closed. Shut up, I’ve been there, I know what I’m
talking
about. On the other hand, some of us old folks still want to keep the
place
open, and some of the young crazy kids do too. I can only hope that the
need
for community that fostered the inception of this wonderful
organization will
continue to motivate LGBTQ* people to keep us going for another 45
years. ps Remember how last year I mentioned that one
stunned cunt that was messing it up for everyone else? Turns out
I was sort of wrong--he's an even bigger twat-waffle than I
expected. This treatment of people will not be forgotten.
KOS: I love bragging about our Kings
in other cities; you are all talented, clever and all so damned young! Please
don’t let anyone take your positive energy away—you are all wonderful!
QUEEN CITY PRIDE: I love you and hate
you by turn. Jesse Ireland, you are Pride and I can’t imagine any of the
success of this organization without you! Please be kind to your elders,
support the people who don’t have any money and never give up—we’re a lucky
bunch in the Queen City but the struggle is still happening.
RSAR- such a vital part of Regina's GLBT community. Without you, this
community would have closed up shop back in ‘94, and now here we are, 26 years
of good works under our belt. But let’s not sugarcoat it—we’re a divided
organization this year and although I’m disappointed with many of our members,
the fact is (just like Mama Jose said) united we stand, divided they pick us
off one by one. Save the drama for your llama, do the work that you want to do,
and don’t expect everyone to love you. PS, Hellacious there’s no one else I’d
share my Emperor with!
HUGS: Mick, Len, Eggsy, Harry,
Dean, Cas, Harvey, Mike, Steve, Danny, Neal, Peter, Sherlock, John, Ianto,
Jack, Blair, Jim, Giles, Spike, Lex, Clark, Fox, Walter....
KUDOS: Anyone who found their way to Sunday brunch or TV night. Thanks, you
make me feel special; Online friends and fans, you are my support system and I
couldn't do any of it without you--I really am that internet success story; 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 all....
UPDATE: Congratulations Mr Gay Regina 27 Maxxx Power and Miss Gay Regina 27 LaLa Bottome!!
There's more and more after that, and I'd probably go on and on if I wasn't so old and tired. And besides, all that online porn won't read itself!
Oh, and don't forget:
In my world, the coffee is strong as death,
black as hell and sweet as love (and always made by Ianto Jones). Fox Mulder is
always just as close as my dvdplayer, Slow Motion Walter is always more than just
a blues song, and the Gunmen always visit on Friday. Bunnies and bears
always frolic in my living room, Blair Sandburg is always the bottom, there is
always a next Sunday, everything's Benedict and nothing hurts, and finally, the
Blanches are always shaken, never stirred.
That's enough to be going on with, don't
you think?
