I made a Clarity starter pack for past un-sponsored speakers, workshop facilitators, & emcees from over the years. But if you’re not on the list and should be, I might not have found you on Bluesky yet. So just let me know. :) go.bsky.app/8q9nFcs

There are 15 days to Black Friday and I’m already seeing “Black Friday sales starts now!” messaging from brands. 😐

You’ll float, too. 🎈

I forgot to wear a Halloween costume to the shop shift today. #gothFail

That time I was Rita Repulsa for Halloween. My best costume to date.

Anyone wanna join me at a drag show tonight? I have an extra ticket. It’s ButtTootKing (Lydia Butthole Collins, Susy Toot, and Kori King). It’s a VIP ticket.

RIP D’Angelo. 😢

Dude ordered a “Negroni”, but he modded it by 8 additional ingredients including a champagne float. & then wanted it as a shot. A Negroni only has 3-4 ingredients depending how you make it. *Usually* 3. Bro. I don’t know what you ordered, but it’s not a Negroni.

Tonight I went to “A Conversation with Kamala Harris” for her book, “107 Days”. Moderated by D.L. Hughley. It was insightful/inspiring to hear her experience, & Hughley was a great & humorous moderator. It was also fun to feel the energy in the room when she talked about her roots in the Bay Area.

I have never been able to successfully finish any hard candy or cough drop without chomping it to pieces toward the end.

In my previous post, I shared a video here from the MoAD Nexus Black Art Week fashion show I went to. All private parts are covered. But Bluesky immediately flagged it for adult (sexual content). I tried to appeal. It’s so silly. At most, a few of the femme models have bikini tops? Come on now.

KARL presents The Art of #Fashion — live runway show with 5 designers including Tony Award-winning #BrandinVaughn. Part of #MoAD’s #SFBayArea #nexusBlackArtWeek. Enjoyed it!

Just found out the Michelin-starred Luce restaurant at InterContinental SF closed earlier this year. Anyone have the scoop on what restaurant may come in next to replace it? All the Front Desk could tell me is that “they are planning something”. 🙃

October is Filipino American History Month! In this photo, my brother, my cousin Alicia, and I are *not* Filipino. But all my other cousins in this photo are! Shout out to y’all! Love y’all! & my Aunt Nimfa (not pictured here). And now I set out to eat as much Filipino food this month as I can! 😋

I have 3 front row VIP (+ Meet & Greet) tickets to RuPaul’s Drag Race Werq the World tour at Bill Graham (SF) this Thursday. Please let me know if you’re interested. Will accept offers and trades!

Sasha Colby is indeed a goddess.

I’ve arrived at the airport around midnight, and am now heading home to unpack my suitcase, then repack my suitcase, then head right back to crash at an airport hotel so I can fly back out at 6am. <record scratch> that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here…

The airport in Palm Springs, California will never get old for me. I just love the mid-century modern aesthetic and walking to your gate in the outdoor air.

I’m flying in 3D but they didn’t give me any 3D goggles?

“The Dead Dance”: Lady Gaga music video directed by Tim Burton youtu.be/xGaZBfJOyAc?...

At the theatre for the double feature of both Tim Burton’s Batman films: “Batman” and “Batman Returns”, remastered in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. This was my Batman I grew up with. And Keaton is still my favorite Batman.

I have 2 extra Lady Gaga tickets for Thursday the 24th at Chase Center. I purchased them for $1,054.63 (total for the pair). Please message me know if you are interested in them. Hoping to sell at cost, but open to offers.

I was surprised Swarm still had a staff. But the new design looks nice.

Downtown SF sounds like a warzone with all the amateur firecrackers going off… but we get none of the visuals because the fog is super thick, so you just see nothing but grey. As usual for this holiday. 🫠

Thank you IHG

Do it Lady!

Enjoyed the Delta One Lounge & Sky Club reveal event at SEA! This is the first multi-lounge concept: 3rd floor is DSC & 4th floor is D1L. It’s open in the middle so you can see up into the other. Thanks so much to Delta for including us. I will cherish this memory!

It’s a gorgeous day in Oakland. A vintage convertible Porsche painted with a mural goes by w/ 2 guys jamming hard to Bobby Brown’s Every Little Step. They see me smiling, & they slow the car down, point at me gleefully while singing & dancing, & then drive off. What a joyful moment!

Overheard in the shop: Parent: “Look, a cute calculator!” Kid: “What's a calculator?” 🫠

I seem to be keeping a track record of having met Drag Race contestants who make it onto The Traitors. @peppermint247.bsky.social, @thebobthedragqueen.bsky.social, and now @monetxchange.bsky.social. 😜

Happy Friday the 13th to Jasons who celebrate.

I’ve been rewatching Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles. It aired 2008-2009. It takes place in 1999 then 2007, with flash-forwards to 2027 (2 years from now). It’s interesting to watch because a lot of the “futuristic” stuff exists today (like AI being prevalent & deep faking).

Get out of here, buses

Not sure when they put this up, but just noticed the new BART train color line signage. Hello, “ROY G. BIV”. 🌈
