Not to brag, but I partied with Chelsea Handler for her 50th birthday in Boston a couple weeks ago. Well, I bought a ticket to an event for her new book “I’ll Have What She’s Having,” but it still counts…at least in my delusional mind and as noted in my diary. When I say partied, I…
There are a few divas who I worship but know I will never meet…Madonna and Cher, I’m looking at you. Tori Amos held a spot on that list until she posted on Instagram a book tour to promote her new children’s book “Tori And The Muses” with a stop at the Barnes & Nobel Union…
This past Monday, October 28th, I took a day off from work (who doesn’t love a long weekend) to go down to Brooklyn, New York for the book launch of Marina’s new book of poetry, “Eat The World”. It was a beautiful day to walk from Grand Central, over the Brooklyn Bridge and a few…
The only thing that could make my trip to New York City for the Whoopi Goldberg book signing better was doubling my divas and swinging by Tiffany Haddish’s signing of her new book “I Curse You With Joy” at the Barnes & Noble Union Square afterwards. Tiffany was in coversation with Charlamagne Tha God (Who’s…
I’m a huge Whoopi Goldberg fan. From her acting (Ghost is one of my Top 5 Movies Of All Time) to her standup and everything in between. Back in 2019 I went to New York City for her of “The Unqualified Hostess” book signing. It’s a book to help you be the hostess with the…
A couple weeks ago, I went to my favorite indie bookstore in Connecticut, RJ Julia (768 Boston Post Road in Madison) for a book discussion moderated by Sarah Darer Littman about the banning of books with a signing afterwards by author David Levithan. The discussion was enlightening because I heard some rumblings about book banning…
Well cross another square off my gay bingo card of life, I met a Spice Girl. Not just any Spice Girl but Ginger Spice, in my gay opinion, the only one worth meeting. To be honest, I’m not a huge Spice Girls fan, but who doesn’t love “Wannabe.” When Geri Halliwell went solo with her…
In my gay opinion, the best indie book store in Connecticut is RJ Julia Booksellers in Madison. Wanting to support my fav bookstore and a gay author, I bought my $28.71 ticket for their Cody Rigsby photo-op event that came with a signed copy of his autobiography, “XOXO, Cody.” You know I love my autographed…
1993 was a monumental year. At the time, I was working at a local electronics store in their music and movie department. Musically, Melissa Etheridge released her iconic, queer-anthem album, Yes I Am, and personally I was coming to terms with my own queerness with the help from a few angels of my own. Melissa…
The Susanna Hoffs book event for the release of her new book ‘This Bird Has Flown” was my second time at an event at The Strand Bookstore in New York City but my first time in their rare books room, think a library in a mansion but with fairy lights and a cash register. I…
