Party Bus!

Hey! Who wants to ride the Halloween Roller Bowl Party Bus? It's a rockin' schoolbus we can drink on while we ride 16.4 miles from Belltown to the practically historic Lynnwood Bowl & Skate in fabulous Lynnwood, Washington! Come on, everybody! Our driver, Mr.McFondle, is waiting!

Don't look so worried! And don't bother buckling your safety belts, kidz...because there aren't any! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!  Par-ty Bus! Par-ty Bus!!

Let's get this party started! Pass the Fireball!

Everybody just loves getting their picture taken during the ride! Well, almost everybody...

Whew! We made it! That was a piece o'cake!

What'd I say?? Sheesh...you're kinda crabby for such a cute cupcake!

Big-time wrestler and bowler Ronald McFondle found his favorite ball of all! This one's for the kiddies!

But why bother bowling and skating when you could be drinking and eating yummy nachos? Rockin!

What?? Time to go already? We've gotta get the Bus back to Belltown by midnight or it will turn back into a pumpkin? Hey, wait up!

The rhythm of the road puts everybody to sleep on the way home! All that bowlin', skatin' and Party-Bussin' can wear a kid out!

Well, that sure was fun, wasn't it? See ya next year!

Gone to BurlyCon

There's not usually much glamour at Sea-Tac Airport's Doubletree Inn...until this weekend, when glittery, glamorous gals and guys gathered together for this year's BURLYCON!

Miss Indigo Blue has produced this 'Burlesque Education Convention' for the last four years, and it keeps growing, bringing together members and fans of the burlesque community to instruct and inspire each other. Classes, panels, speakers, vendors and parties in the space of four days...and although I only attended one of the four days, I was honored to be a part of it all this year!

That's right...your pal Gams was invited to speak on a panel called, of all things: Cougarfest - On Aging and Burlesque...along with Jo 'Boobs' Weldon of the New York School of Burlesque, the gorgeous Ophelia Flame, moderator Burgundy Brixx from Vancouver BC and burlesque legend Velvet Ice! We talked about a variety of subjects from body image to haircolor...but did anyone learn anything? Who knows? In any case, it was great fun meeting these fabulous ladies and, of course, it's always fun getting a chance to talk about myself!

Next, I jumped in on a class called "So's Yer Face!" so I could learn more about facial expression. I just can't seem to get mine right!

The best thing about this class was when I showed up, I realized I coordinated with instructors Randi Rascal and Heidi Von Haught! Here we are demonstrating our "happily surprised" expressions!

Later that evening we all donned our gay apparel and took over a penthouse suite. The coolest thing about the Doubletree was its glass elevator. I guess it felt a little bit like an amusement park ride, but since it looked over the decidedly un-picturesque airport surrounds, it was only a little bit amusing...anyway, the party just got bigger and bigger until we had to quit annoying the neighbors and move to a conference room. That's the sign of a successful party in my book.

The great thing about the burlesque community is that it's sort of a mutual admiration society...what with so many things to admire! Outfits, hairdos, makeup, and of course, breasts...oh! what breasts there were to behold! I could go on and on about all those breasts....

But to wrap up...I got my name on the official program and really rad badge, got some freebies, grabbed a few new snaps for my albums, saw some old friends and made some new ones...all with one thing in common besides false lashes:
We Love Burlesque!

Meet Joe Black

My pal Tamara wanted me to meet Joe Black and I enjoyed him so much I want you to meet Joe Black, too! Yes, I know we've all seen that really long movie with Brad Pitt and thoroughly enjoyed it because Brad is so easy on the eyes...but, no...the Joe Black I want you to meet today is an entirely different Joe Black...although, unlike Brad Pitt's Joe Black, it seems entirely possible that this Joe Black could be the Grim Reaper himself.




I always wondered why the Grim Reaper would choose to look like Brad Pitt anyway...unless maybe he saw Fight Club and loved Tyler Durden as much as I did...but, if you were Death and you could look like anybody you wanted, wouldn't you wanna look more bad-ass...like Benicio Del Toro, for instance?

I was surprised that God wanted to look like George Burns! I always wondered why...I mean, if you were God and you could look like anybody you wanted, wouldn't you wanna look more like Brad Pitt than George Burns? Or better yet, more bad-ass...like Benicio Del Toro, for instance?

Cover Girl

Well, it certainly doesn't take the media long to get ahold of a story of a smalltown gal and her Blonde Ambition!

Good ol' TIME magazine was right on top of things...then ESQUIRE caught my act...by the way, NO RACCOONS WERE HARMED DURING THIS PHOTOSHOOT!

Thank goodness NEWSWEEK got my good side...and the article on Blonde Ambition and Bad Wigs makes good reading!

In this exclusive issue of GQ (Gams Quarterly?)...read all about Match Game's new season in its new location...Re-bar!  Plu-u-u-s...the gayest guy in the NBA...who could it be?? a-a-a-and...why getting stoned will always be cool, daddy!

Who's Afraid...

...of the Big Bad Wig??

Attention, Please!

In case there was any doubt...

Bijoux de Barbie!

Oh... My... God!!!! Thank you, Barbie, for sacrificing your life to fashion...these pieces are to die for! And not for Barbie Girls only!

Darlings, there were too too many more that I adored! I can't wait 'til you discover Margaux Lange!
