26, 2002 (Long-overdue update #1)
|
|
|
Ashley comes home to perform during
Open Drag Night! The reunion was so tearful that even the
stepladder wept. |
|
I do my famous "Daisy Mae, drunk and
praying with spinal curvature" impersonation, though I suspect others
have done it better. This is backstage during Open Drag Night
(the first Wednesday of every month at Club Ren!) |
|
|
Still backstage during Open Drag
Night, I let some of my devilish impulses loose on the crowd.
"I want to be evil, I want to spit tacks / I want to be evil, and cheat
at jacks." |
|
Still evil just a few seconds
later... |
|
|
A feisty moment during the 12th
Episode of "She-Devils On Heels."
I would like to point out that I am not picking my nose in this
picture. I did that later. |
|
Me, trashy and creepy?
Well, once in a while maybe. |
|
|
I pose with my favourite frat boy at
Club Abstract! Meow! |
|
Those Amazing She-Devil
DJ's!
Anastasia proudly displays her hard-won prize: a mermaid
fish-tank ornament! Every night we DJ at Club Ren we'll be
giving away an equally valuable prize, so be sure to come!
|
|
|
Venus and I pose with our Club Ren
"She-Devils Flasks!" The perfect accessories for a couple of
boozy queens. |
|
Toronto Pride!
Kitchener-Waterloo queens, leatherboys, and handsome
devils show off their stuff in the northern beer garden.
|
|
|
Toronto Pride!
Getting a lift from hunky Mark (different
Mark), and looking strangely blue-ish...must have been the constant
flash of the cameras.
|
|
Kitchener Pride!
Tia and I flash a collective grin amongst the
foliage. In case you're confused, Tia is the Asian girl
(that's pronounced "ash-en")
|
|
|
Kitchener Pride!
Look out, it's a gigantic Victoria! That
plucky girl deals with a bizarre camera angle with maximum grace and
charm.
|
|
Kitchener Pride!
A shot of Victoria and I -- foot weary but still
cheerful -- leaving the park at the end of the day.

August
4, 2002 (The Catnip Days)
|
|
|
Rodeo Frog!
Giddy-up! It's the freaky-freaky Rodeo
Frog! These bizarre spring-animals are showing up
in playgrounds all over the area, and it's my mission to ride them
all. At 3am. Drunk.
|
|
Rodeo Frog!
Tim learns the hard way not to trifle with the
Rodeo Frog! Do you have a picture of YOU riding one
of these creatures? Email
it to me!
|
|
|
Not content just to ride the frog, I
cut loose on a swingset for the first time in about 15 years.
That smile is fake: being on a swing after a night at Club Ren is
a bit like getting the bed-spins, only much much worse. |
|
Cleaning up after the 11th She-Devils
On Heels show...contemplating the origins of the
universe while humming "Xanadu." |
|
|
Venus thought it would be fun to set
this picture up, and believe me it was no picnic. I just had
to go and clean up again. What I won't do for a picture (see swingset,
above). |
|
Oh Anastasia, how we have missed
thee! Our darling wandering queen comes home to hang with us
for a while and make plans for a fun future. |
|
|
The Catnip Mouse Award!
This past Friday I was pleased to present the first Catnip
Mouse Award to Sandy, a peacock after my own heart!
The presentation, as you can see, is something that lesser souls would
balk at. Ahhhhhwrrr-ah! Ahhhhhwrrr-ah!
|
|
The Catnip Mouse Award!
Sandy is speechless, experiencing a taste that few
humans have the chance to enjoy. A brave gal, she is!
|
|
|
For one brief moment I become Ilsa
Von Cattenstein, an aspect of my personality that I'm not at
all proud of (for reasons which should be obvious). |
|
Sandy flexes and Ivana tackles,
dressed to kill! Who will win this fearsome battle?
The pride of the bar hangs in the balance... |
|
July
23, 2002 (Some Decidedly Odd Moments)
|
|
|
Club Ren's Anniversary
Party!
Settling in with Mark, Peter, and (in the foreground) the
zombie that just about killed me. Truly a night to
remember! I just wish that I could...
|
|
Club Ren's Anniversary
Party!
A touchy-feely-huggy-tingly moment with Mark as both of
us descend into a coma-like state. Once again, I blame it all
on the zombie. Thanks, Gary!
|
|
|
During the tenth episode of
She-Devils On Heels, Venus and I decide it makes perfect sense to take
a picture of me sitting on a pile of gravel. |
|
If you get this close to me you
become engulfed in a haze that is sheer Muffy Magnetism.
Which is good, because I look glossier that way. Speaking of
which, this was taken a month ago for the Gloss / Cowboys and
Angels / Voice fashion show. |
|
|
Look at me, I'm using a
plastic-coated living animal as a prop! This is me and Sammy,
the official Cowboys & Angels hamster,
glorifying in yet another incredible Dan Haner hairdo. |
|
Once again with Sammy, who couldn't
care if I lived or died but was still a good sport for the pictures. |
|
|
Is it my fault that I can't remember
how the Statue Of Liberty stands? Is it my fault that the
only prop I had was Dan's neck brush? Don't bomb me! |
|
This looks a bit like Ivana kneeing
her mother in the stomach, but it's actually a touching moment: Miss
Bump-Tingle-Cheeseburger performing for her brother after his stag
& doe! |
|
|
You can't see it very well, but this
is a picture of Mark wearing my purse on his head. He thought
it looked an awful lot like a Flintstones bowling hat. It's
amazing that he managed to perform this feat twice without hurting
anybody. |
 |
Toronto Pride!
Posing on Pride weekend with gorgeous Club Ren bar
fixture Katie! We were certainly the belles of the beer
garden.

Updated
July 4, 2002 (Muffy does Pride!)
|
|
|
Toronto Pride!
Laurie, Princess and I do our Charlie's Angels pose
while waiting for the parade to start. It's the attitude that
counts!
|
|
Toronto Pride!
Vanilla and Jon engage in strange, ritualistic,
rain-dance behaviour.
|
|
|
Toronto Pride!
Scott and Laurie anticipate the Toronto Pride
parade. Within minutes we were anticipating shade and
rehydration.
|
|
Toronto Pride!
My favourite part of Pride: a Pomeranian in a
stroller! I kid you not. After a night of pictures
being taken of me, I couldn't help muscling in
there to get my picture taken with a dog.
|
|
|
Toronto Pride!
Vanilla re-enacts a trauma from earlier in the day, and
shows what a perfect friend she is. Vanilla: approved!
|
|
Toronto Pride!
Jon and Vanilla take a lovebird breather while the crowd
swarms around us. Islands in the stream, that is what we
are...
|
|
|
Toronto Pride!
Saturday night on Church Street, Radko and Adrian
demonstrate the downfall of civilization: two handsome men, standing in
the middle of a huge crowd, answering their damn cell-phones.
|
|
Toronto Pride!
Everybody -- everybody -- should
find out what it's like to stand in the subway wearing this outfit.
|
|
|
Back to the location of the first
Jenna photo: Spadina and Bloor, a virtual Mecca for those of us who
appreciated her poise and grace. Jenna, best of luck at the
party, and please don't forget about us! We await your return. |
|
During the She-Devils On Heels
"Summertime" show, I worship at the CKMS Brady-Shrine. |
|
|
Argh, me hearties!
Bar bitch Jay does an impromptu pirate impersonation for an
appreciative crowd. Well, me, anyway. |
|
Leaving my mark, a long-standing
tradition I'll never get tired of! |
|
|
KW Pride!
Ahhhh, at the end of a long day well-spent!
Here I am, showing off my "Queen of Pride Day" tiara and looking
forward to a shower and some loofah action.
|
|
KW Pride!
One last goodbye to KW Pride 2002, here at the bridge
with Victoria. If we look a little sour it's because we're
standing next to the porta-potties.
|
|
|
KW Pride!
Spouting fabulous peacock feathers I give my "Ann Miller
all" during KW's Pride celebrations.
|
|
KW Pride!
Victoria and gear up for our sets and reflect that we've
never seen so much damn greenery in our
lives. Oh, the joys of daytime drag!

Updated
June 19, 2002 (just some of the events of the last few weeks)
|
|
|
At the Emerald City Ball I do my
"cat that ate the peacock" pose, with a bit of post-pride Cowardly Lion
thrown in. |
|
Cooling off with Drew after the
ball. Hey, when are you coming back to us, chickie?!? |
|
|
I continue a tradition of sexy
fridge photographs, this time at Cowboys and Angels. As
usual, thanks to Dan for perfect hair! |
|
Part of the motley cast at the Gloss
/ Cowboys & Angels fashion show (look carefully and you'll see
Dan, Jeremy, and -- center stage -- Vrenelli with the "guy who took his
shirt off on the box.") |
|
|
Club Renaissance's Pink
Prom!
Sandy whispers something shameful into Drew's
ear. That in corridgeable, peacock-impersonating minx!
|
|
Club Renaissance's Pink
Prom!
Ahhhhhwrrr-ah! Ahhhhhwrrr-ah! Sandy
and Mark work the crowd, trying to fulfill a lifelong dream of being king
& queen of the prom.
|
|
|
Club Renaissance's Pink
Prom!
We proudly present: the winners of the Pink Prom
competition! They even got to keep the crowns.
|
|
A more passive moment during our She-Devils On Heels Revenge
episode: I contemplate a fire extinguisher. |
|
|
After finishing off the eighth
episode of She-Devils On Heels,
I am aghast at the amount of alcohol we plowed through.
Really, something is wrong with us. |
|
Flashback! A picture of
Dan and I at the Clay And Glass Gallery benefit a few months ago. |
