Jitterbug Bite!

First tarantulas...now jitterbugs! Here's glamorous gal Lucille Ball doin' a little bit o' burly-Q in Dance Girl, Dance! This is so-o-o-o cute it's been grabbed up a buncha times on my new Tumblr blog...which I'm already thoroughly, completely and utterly addicted to.

I'd be tickled pink if you'd stop by for a visit...I put up lots of B&W pics of beauteous babes and bitches...sometimes following a stream of consciousness, sometimes for no rhyme or reason...and sometimes I rhyme for no reason! Why? Because I'm a Picky Li'l Bitch, that's why!

Blanche Tarantula

Blanche is crazy about pink...of that I'm very certain...


She loves to take a leisurely stroll thru folds of a sunlit curtain...


A glamour bath in a glimmery shell is how she starts her day...


...and she never feels completely dressed without her pink beret...


...c'est parfait!


She gets together with glamorous friends for drinks at happy hour...


And dreams away 'neath a fluffy fan in a feathery, rosy bower......


...ssshhh!

The Swedish Housewife


Friends, it's been just about a year since your pal Gams donned her bad wig and began singing her heart out, bringing happiness to millions...thousands? Okay, dozens...but who's counting? Seriously, folks...I feel very fortunate. Over this last year I've gotten to serenade audiences in Seattle, Portland and LA...I've been intro'd by El Vez and taken curtain calls alongside the luscious Catherine D'Lish. I've mingled with international stars like Joey Arias...imagine moi amongst all that fabulousness and glamour...sigh!

So, how'd I get so lucky? I can attribute these blissful brushes with celebrity to that singular sensationalist, the gal that puts the dish in Swedish...Paula The Swedish Housewife!

PTSHW and I got acquainted during the film festivals and shows surrounding the premieres of A Wink and A Smile, and she's been nice enough to give me some encouragement since then, including putting me in her Celebration of She last April at Seattle's Triple Door...what a thrill that was!


Not just any burlesque icon, Paula, as producer, really knows how to put on a show! This season The Swedish Housewife presents The Gilded Stage 2010, featuring amazing performers like Justin Bond, Immodesty Blaize, Joey Arias and Bambi the Mermaid, as well as the 4th unbelievable House of Thee Unholy...burlesque Led Zeppelin! Sooo...if you're planning a visit to our "little fishing village", as Paula puts it, be sure to check the Triple Door calender to see if you can catch one of her eye-poppin' extravaganzas!

As luck would have it, I happened to find this terrific clip of PTSHW bumpin' and grindin' out the History of the Beat, with the help of Michael Musburger on drums. Classic burly-q at its best!

Pee-in-this Envy


..I think that I shall never see
A flower this lovely where I pee..
..If I did, I'd go plumb crazy ~
To piss in a peony or poop in a daisy!
..I wonder if there's any way
To get a red rosebud bidet?

Match Gams ~2~


I just got ahold of these great fotos from last month's Match Game Belltown! Your pal Gams was dee-lighted to be chosen as one of the guests on the celebrity panel. Remember I mentioned Match Game a couple months back? That time I was randomly selected from the studio audience to match the stars, resulting in a dazzling win and prizes galore...but, lucky me! This was the second season I got to be a panelist, thanks to my nautical friend, Nelson Heston Reilly.

Truth be told, I'm not sure which was more fun...as a contestant, I got to dance...but as a guest star, I got to sing! I chose my version of Tipsy, because everyone consuming alcoholic beverages in the audience can always relate to those lyrics. It's comforting to know that the drunker everyone is, the better I sound! Yay!



The audience was also treated to a performance by another guest panelist, Maurice Caldwell Junior...a uniquely talented and eclectic singer/guitarist...he of the ever-changing bindi and dashing wardrobe! I love it when folks take time to dress to the nines when they go out on the town! Seattleites are so in love with their bluejeans and baseball caps...it's tres refreshing to see someone wearing a nice cut of cloth for a change, ain't it?




Host Richard Rugburn and the other panelists ~ Bing Wheeler, Betty Sommers, Nelson Heston Reilly, and Vincent Drambuie ~ are completely, utterly sick...bless their hearts...ya gotta love 'em! I was tickled pink when one of the questions was about little ol' me! It went something like this: "In 1976, Gams Galore made it onto Let's Make a Deal by shaking her _________ in Monty Hall's face!"

I'll leave you to fill in that blank, darlings! xoxo
