| January 23rd, 2004 (Nothin' but fun!) | |||
| It's a Hallowe'en flashback from Club Abstract! Marilyn Monroe and I share a cuddle with Manticore, the most vicious stuffed tiger in the world. | Brad and I enjoy our favourite drink: grenadine! Right out of the bottle! It's the sweetest thing around (other than the two of us, of course). | ||
| Sometimes -- when I'm feeling perverse -- I like to punish the dancers on Sunday nights by making them take a picture with me. It's because I love them so much! No effort has been made to remove the sweat from this photograph. It's proof of our dedication to the God Of Fun. | This is sort of like a sweet, panoramic scene from a Bollywood picture, except for the tell-tale "Canada" cup and the absence of a dancing dwarf. | ||
| My goodness...I don't know when or how. The strangest things can show up on your digital camera! And thank goodness, too. We Are People Having A Good Time. | Continuing our impromptu series of "Pool Whore" pictures, here's Katie, Randy and I making a mess out of the felt. Unsolicited Pool Tip: never use that thing we're holding! Making a shot without it is much sexier. Though you'll probably miss. | ||
| Two more fabulous Sunday Night Dancers: Oliver and Josie! They were stranded in Kitchener during the snowstorm, but no doubt they would have stayed to have fun regardless (who am I kidding?) | Out of an accident (the flash going off while I'm looking at the camera) a potential new viewer base is born! This is for anybody who has a thing for shoes or calves. Not baby cows. | ||
| Awww, this would win the "Cutest Picture On This Website" award...if there was such an award! Once again, the Pool Whores -- which special guest Bulldog Whore -- use the table for a dangerous and somewhat damaging photo opportunity. | A variation on a theme: this time we're DANGEROUS! We have a pool cue! I might not know how to play pool with it, but it would hurt if it hit you in the head! | ||
| Yeehaw, I'm a cowboy, sort of! | After running away to New York and starting her new career as a fashion designer, Big City Anastasia comes back to slum with the rest of us! What am I pointing at? Guess. | ||
| Hey, mister! Stop, in the name of love! Can you spare a dime? Buy me a drink? Let's dance! Nice shoes! Do you have a pony? | It's a regular Girls' Night
Out! We're at Club Renaissance, we got the drinks, the music,
the fun and the friendship. What else do we need?
Besides money? |
||
| What do you do or think when you see somebody with this on the back of their head? I mean, what can you possibly think? | I was so sad that everybody was looking at this guy's head and butt all night, I felt it important to show off his front. Not quite as flambouyant, but still worthy! | ||
| As Katie distracts Brad with her legs, I try to quickly suck up some of his excess animal magnetism. Sadly, Brad is too drunk to notice, which goes for all of us really. | "Dark Katie laughed and danced and lit the candles one-by-one..." | ||

January 14, 2004 (Birthday & The Matchbook Peacock) |
|||
| Happy Birthday To Me!
Yes, here I am, celebrating my advanced age by simulating oral sex with a guy in his underwear. It's a tough life! |
Happy Birthday To Me!
20 minutes into my birthday and there's already a theme developing... |
||
| Happy Birthday To Me!
Kate Bush Girl and I share a wildly exuberant moment at Club Abstract, which was sort of a way-station during the night. |
Happy Birthday To Me!
No tongues! Amanda and I wrap up the night in style. But since it was Daylight Savings Time, I cheated...and went back to Club Renaissance again! |
||
| Happy Birthday To Me!
Don't ask me to tell you who these people are, because I have no idea. But we had a great (and relatively heavy) chat...just what I needed when I was preparing to throw up! |
Happy Birthday To Me!
We know our chicken! Annie and Tim -- along with Amber -- were responsible for my great birthday experience. Thanks, gals! |
||
| Awww, I get to cuddle up with some of my favourite music fans, Chris and Ken! What's more, if you click on this picture you'll get a BONUS MATTY! (Sorry hon, you didn't fit in the thumbnail!) | The incredible Tim invents the world's first "Matchbook Peacock!" Sadly, you can't see the crazy eyes, but it's still a sight to behold. | ||
| I'm a mild-mannered boring milquetoast by day...but at night I become a POOL WHORE! In an empty nightclub. Well, you need to start somewhere. | "Come hither," says the Pool Whore, trying to think of a double entendre that does not involve balls or pockets. | ||
|
December 3, 2003 (Hallowe'en, Drag Your Ass Out, Fetish Night) |
|||
| Happy Hallowe'en!
My evil twin sister (Betty Vendetta) shows up at my workplace with Manticore, her killer white tiger! Roy Hall barely escapes the Queen Of The Jungle yet again. |
Happy Hallowe'en!
At Club Renaissance, Whore-othy and Blenda (the Good House Witch) talk about the good old days in Oz, while Dildo the dog rests happily unused in his basket. |
||
| Happy Hallowe'en!
Betty Vendetta flaunts her total fearlessness in the face of a papier-mâché chainsaw. She's not a girl to be trifled with! |
Happy Hallowe'en!
Scream! Patti bravely endures a savage attack by Manticore at Club Abstract. Don't worry kids, she's a killer nurse...she can take care of herself! |
||
| Happy Hallowe'en!
Get a couple drinks in her, and my sister starts thinking she has something to prove. In this picture, Betty wins a staring contest with the Club Renaissance Flame. |
Happy Hallowe'en!
Not content to let her strength go untested, Betty actually sticks her hand in the Club Renaissance Flame! Miraculously, she is unharmed. |
||
| Happy Hallowe'en!
El Diablo Loki and Betty celebrate the joy of Canada's tightest, most sincere metal band: GOAT HORN! |
November '03 BBGG!
Chris -- organizer extraordinaire! -- and I are tragically kept apart by the pride probe, and by my horrible flu. |
||
| Busker Flashback!
Just to prove what a RESPONSIBLE person I am, I show off my blood testing equipment. Are ya' paying attention, mom? |
Busker Flashback!
Annie strikes a demure pose in Subway, as though contemplating what the heck is going to happen next. |
||
| Drag Your Ass Out!
Sebastian and I prepare mentally for the upcoming "Drag Your Ass Out" show. More alcohol and quiet times, please! |
Drag Your Ass Out!
All catted-up during "Macavity, The Mystery Cat." And hey, thanks to Crag for these fun pics! |
||
| Drag Your Ass Out!
Haven't got a microphone with you on stage? My advice to budding queens is: grab the thing that's sticking out of your butt, and sing into it. |
Drag Your Ass Out!
Sebastian and I -- cheerful as chipmunks! -- prepare to go onstage for the last song of the night. Part of this preparation involves chocolate. |
||
| Fetish Night!
At Club Ren's Fetish Night, my purse reveals just how much she's imitating me. |
Fetish Night!
I practice the patented "Bettie Page Mouth," with little success...this time. |
||
| Fetish Night!
"Lick my foot, you little worm!" I command Dancing Jesus, and he reluctantly complies for the sake of the picture. What a sport! |
Fetish Night!
The end! |
||
|
November 26, 2003 (Jesus, dancers, and the rest of us!) |
|||
| At the end of the long-weekend disco night at Club Ren, I do a little bit of work to earn my pay. What a busy girl! | Kamara takes the idea of "Sin Sundays" literally and gets completely sloshed...just enough for me to convince her to wear the mysterious sweatband! | ||
| "Sanctity of Marriage" March
What do you do when a bunch of people decide to have a "scare your MP" rally against same-sex marriage? Show up to counteract their influence of course. Here's some of us... |
"Sanctity
of Marriage" March
...and this is them! Praying and looking the other way, because if you don't acknowledge reality you don't need to deal with it. |
||
| "Sanctity of Marriage" March
These are the winners of the "coolest dogs at the protest" award! I've forgotten their names, so I'll call them Buster and Chubs. Congratulations, Buster and Chubs! |
Patti give Jesus a high-five in Newfoundland! I can't help thinking that she got closer to Jesus by doing this than the "Sanctity of Marriage" folks ever will... | ||
| During the 2003 Edward Ka-Spel show at Lee's Palace, I finally get to meet Lisa Amend in the flesh! Too bad the guy who took the picture appears to be slowly falling over. | October '03 BBGG!
I proudly display my gitch...all in the service of the Boys and Boyz & Girls and Grrrls dance! |
||
| October '03 BBGG!
I use my previously unknown superpower: I can remove all of the lint off black shirts! The lint brush helps, of course. |
October '03 BBGG!
Folks at the BBGG engage in a primitive ritual: a synchronized "Billie Jean" dance routine. How did this tradition start, and why is it so fun? Scientists are baffled! |
||
| I pose with "the collection," which I believe is now on display at the Royal Ontario Museum. | At the prompting of Morgan James, my fabulous co-host and I do our "ABBA" impersonation. Can't you tell? Not even a little bit. Yeah, we're rotten. | ||
| Octoberfest!
When I was very young, my parents put me in Lederhosen and I cried. If only they'd given the dirndl a try... |
Octoberfest!
Race you to the beer tent! Actually, I have never, ever gone Octoberfesting, partly because I don't like beer and partly because I don't like being beaten to a pulp. |
