Donna De Lory, in my gay opinion, is one of those divas who can sing any style and make it sound good. Lately her go-to style is uplifting, new-age dance. That’s how she starts her new EP, We Shine, with “Diamonds In The Sun (We Shine)” but the rest of the EP branches out into…
I’m a total whore for autographed merch. I discovered Twinnie because she had autographed copies of her album Hollywood Gypsy on her website and that convinced me to check out her music, which I’m glad I did. I was seven months late for the party but better late than never. A month after my original…
When I heard that Foxes was releasing an EP of her recent singles and a few bonus songs, I was ecstatic. In my gay opinion, that’s how it should be done. A pet peeve of mine is when divas release a bunch of singles but don’t compile them into an album or at the very…
Ok, I’m totally going to date myself…which is unusual here, since that usually involves a package of Oreos, a Magic Mike movie marathon and a box of tissues. However, back in 1986 this was my jam: Ahhh…the 80’s when invading people’s privacy was sexy and so were sax solos! Regina’s Madonna-esque sound (and need for…
When people think protest music, Bob Dylan or one of the Guthrie’s might come to mind. If you’re like me and prefer divas, Joni Mitchell or Joan Baez might be up your alley. Although to be honest, I don’t know any of their catalogs and couldn’t pick them out of a police line-up. Until recently,…
This post is continuing my blog’s recent trajectory of Canadian divas who are saving me from the Great Diva Drought of 2021. My partner heard a lot of buzz about the Canadian TV show “Jann” coming to Hulu, a fictionalized tale of a real-life diva from back in the day and her attempts to revamp…
As mentioned in my last Alanis post, my divas haven’t been putting out new music, causing me to spend time searching for old albums and new-to-me divas. Again it’s Canadians that rescued me from the doldrums of tired tunes. Spotify recommended Toronto-based Babygirl’s 2018 Lovers Fevers EP to me a few weeks ago and I…
What’s a gay to do when he finds himself in a drought? No, not the environmental or sexual kinds, much worse, diva withdrawal. It’s been almost two months since I’ve bought new music. Most of my divas have gone into a COVID hibernation, a few have released a single here and there, but that doesn’t…
As I mentioned in a previous post, I live in a cord cutting household. In my gay opinion, the hardest thing about giving up cable is losing Game Show Network and HGTV. Those are the only stations I can watch for hours on end and be thoroughly entertained. When going to the gym was something…
In 2009 my partner and I got a great deal for a Mediterranean cruise. Neither of us had cruised before (at least not on the high seas) but who doesn’t love a bargain. After checking in and getting to our coffin (I mean cabin) we realized why it was so cheap. The door opened halfway…
