Vaginarama
Vagina....rama.
I went to see a reading of the Vagina Monologues tonight, staring none other than our own N@ Lauzon (Who was FABU btw)
It was a Québec / Canadian Star studded event...
l-r: Marie-Josee Turcotte: Yea, I don't know who she is either, Eva Avila: Canadian Idol, Kim D'Eon: um, ET Canada... I think ...
Sophie Gregoire: wife of Justin Trudeau, and Québec reporter for E-Talk. (Unfortunatly we neither saw Justin or Sophies whacky Mother-in-law Maggie.)

Tara Spencer-Nairn: Constable Karen Kelly on Corner Gas. A great comedic actress, originally from Montréal. (You HAVE to rent NEW WATERFORD GIRL. The movie is a freaking riot and she stars prominently in it... )

Patsy Gallant: Chanteuse. Singing La Vie En Rose here... (Get it?! Vaginas are pink. Subtle no?)
Kim D'Eon: again... UM.... ET Canada... Not sure but I wanna find out, cause she was DAMN GOOD! She of the Angry Motherfuckin' Pussy.

Ginette Reno: Actriss, Singer... Etoile Québecoise
...and last but certainly not least... N@ Lauzon, or as I'll refer to her henceforth... The Vadge.
One last shot... The Pussy Possé...
It was a charity event to raise money to fight against abuse to women. Held at Gallery MX. There was also a vernisage of an artist "Niko" I'm afraid to say the art did not do much for me, but at any rate I was there for the V-M... and N@!
I saw part of it once, years ago on PBS. The author had done it as a one woman show... And either my memory is slipping or I used to be a prude; 'cause I was expecting a lot more foulness and naughty words... but aside from a few angry pussy' and 'motherfucking angry' lines it was rather tame... Funny though. Very funny!
Had a great time there with Ma Horton, Corn and Twiggy... (Maria... where waz you gurl?!)
A few amusing moments...
- Corn commented at one point that he couldn't help but feel a little anger directed toward him (as a male) ... but that completely bypassed me. Fortunately, I have diplomatic immunity from such female to male aggression.
- Through-out the night I just could NOT get the Oscar Mayer Wiener song outta my head... only with a minor adjustment... "My Vagina has a first name..."
and... my favourite...
The quote of the evening...
"Vaginas. Man they're deep."
Who said that?
Why, Misster-Kitty of course!
---
... all in all, a fun, enjoyable evening!

Get up, Stand up.
I received an email today from TickleBear with a link to sign an online petition to be sent to the Chinese government to stop the violence and oppression in Tibet.
It didn't take me more than the time it takes to click on the link and I had signed on. At that moment I was # 1,068,812, as I write this post it's now up to 1,073,862. The petition has only been online for a couple weeks and passed a million after only 7 days.
Take 1 minute out of your day and add you voice to this global petition.

On a personal note, I met the Dalai Lama back in the early 90's when he visited Montréal and gave a speech at one of the Universities. I was working at a bookstore on Ste-Catherine West and all of the sudden a couple of 'men in black' walked into the store and moments later, the dalai Lama glided in. And when I say glided I do mean that. It's as if he really was just hovering about the ground. And I'll say this, whether you believe in the reincarnation of the soul, whether you believe in him, you cannot escape the unavoidable and strong magnetic pull he has. I instantly felt calmer and peaceful just by his walking past the front counter and looked my way. In's actually impossible to truly express in words how that moment felt. Not a word was spoked as he walked by, but there was acknowledgement from both, of the other.
This petition is the very least I can do, and you can as well.
Sign the petition here.

Exit, stage left - x2
Penn Jilette and Kym do a Disappearing Act...
Monica Selas and Jonathan fail to succeed in the Court of public opinion...
Well, neither couple's elimination tonight was much of a surprise. Penn was just a lame goof-ass and good riddance. Monica, bless her tom-boy heart, she just was not at all graceful, but she gave it more than 100%.
Now if we can get rid of Adam Carolla...

Suck on this ...

...crucifix?!?!?
Again, while trying to find some cute images for my blog this Easter Weekend I have again stumbled into the bizarre and slightly disturbing...
Look I'm not a prude, nor am I at all religious, at least not in the typical 'judaeo-Christian' fashion, I guess you'd call me a pagan if you had to call me something (just don't call me late for supper. bah-doom-boom!) but the thought of sucking on or eating a chocolate crucified Jesus just, well, turns my stomach.
But it doesn't stop there... oh no ladies and gentle-ladies... if you thought this was bad... check out this and this and there's so much more...
I guess you just have to ask yourself... why? And, who buys this stuff?!?!

Got ink.
Got my first tattoo today. It's of 9 crows flying around my left arm.
The pic only shows 5, but there's nine in total - three on the inside of the arm, which if you don't know is one of the more sensitive parts to get tattooed. Even the tattooist said he was impressed, because most people don't get tattoos there, at least not at first, (including himself! lol) We started there at any rate, so when we got around to the outside of the arm it felt less painful. It's not PAINFUL but, 5 hours later the arm is sooooore. Glad I did it though... And I'm hooked. I know I'll be back for more! (already talked to the guy regarding their design) woo hoo!
