The Emancipation of Travy-T
HALLELUJAH!
I am finally finished with the 9-poster series for the SC HIV Council. It was a long, arduous road, but it's done.
At the last minute, I had to change 2 images and so, out of 9, I really like 7. Tomorrow night is a big World AIDS Day benefit. They are holding a screening of the film Lackawanna Blues and the writer and star of the film will be talking. There will be a pre and post reception and it will be really Ra-Sha-Shaaa. More pics to follow on that. I was telling D I really don't have anything nice besides my badass t-shirt collection, so, I will have to improvise with some semi-classy old things I have lying around in the closet. So about the benefit, my posters will be showcased there. I hopefully don't have to do dick but just show up with Duane and enjoy the evening and talk to my friends from the HIV Council. Down the line, it would be super-cool badass if the posters got national attention, but, for right now, they will be used here in SC for AIDS awareness.
It was a long, long road to finishing these posters. I don't think I would have gotten through them without my good friends Madge (or Esther), Mimi, and the Goddess herself, Oprah.
You see, this past Tuesday was like a powerhouse Tuesday for purchases from Trav. The new Madonna cd came out, a special, super extended, shameful double dip version of Mariah's recent cd, and finally, after months of waiting by me, the Oprah Winfrey 20 yr Collection DVD set came out. I am in Estrogen Hog Heaven and have been since Tuesday.
Firstly, the Madonna cd is off the hook. This will definitely be replayed a gaJILLION times in my cd player like Gwen's last November. Madge is definitely a wackjob in real life lately (aging is making her more insane I think), but this album is her best since Ray of Light. No palates rap in here. There is the use of the word "dork" in a song that is pretty damn embarassing though...
Now, Mimi has emancipated me from my money again, but I am shameless, bitches, shameless. Ask Bri. I am a filthy fan and I purchased the new edition of her recent cd. It has some new tracks which are pretty damn good and also has a DVD with her videos and an unreleased overseas video for my fave track on the album.
Finally, I have been mesmerized by the big O for the past few days. The tears, the Wildest Dreams, the twats in the audience lookin' like they're gonna explode. Duane came home today while I was curled up on the sofa and told me I was watching my Oprah porn. I told him that's correct, and proceeded to show him a scene. "Here comes the money shot" I said as the camera slowly closed in on O's face and she went into her self-titled "ugly cry". That bitch has a trance on me. I LLLLUUUUUVVV her. And it IS like watching porn cuz I had a box of Kleenex beside me today at all times watching the DVDs.
Anyways, long art project over, so cool tunes to listen to (the greated hits of Alanis Morrissette is great too-her cover of Seal's CRAZY is off the hook), and my O on DVD has made for an enjoyable week.
Sorry I have been MIA for the last couple of weeks, but, I will try and update more. I go to pick up Ray Ray at college this coming Tuesday and then home for the holidays. Poor Duane has to stay here and work. I am bummed I won't be spending the holiday with him for yet ANOTHER year, but so is the nutty politics of our families and the non-acceptance, blah blah blah.
Bri-thanks for calling me today to checkin. I will be in touch with you soon.
Laura-thanks for calling today checking in too. Glad to hear you have some time to yourself. (and Harry Pooter this weekend).
Fanny-thanks for the help online this week. Be in touch soon.
Jen, Steph and Josh-whut up my niggas! Steph and Josh: don't rent anymore L Word and rent Boo! and tell me that's NOT the haunted hospital Josh was telling us about! UnCANNY!
Joe-Good talking to you last week. Thanks for the call.
Jason-I will get in touch with u via email 'bout those feta sketches. Congrats on the radio show. I will put up a link on this blog with the feta image once we have one worked out.
Back tomorrow with a jive term!
Peace out bitches.....time to go discuss with Duane the outcome of tonight's episode of Reunion on FOX. That shit is ADDICTIVE!
