Holt shit!
I mean......HOLY Shit!
I went to see 'Into the Wild' with my dear friend Vicki tonight ( at the Carlton...the smallest movie theatre in the world)....and in walks Eric Bana...The Hulk....the brother in 'Troy' .....Vicki, of course, doesn't remember him and nor does she care....which, of course, drives me insane! Even though she and I saw 'Troy' together.....I turned to her halfway through it , 'Troy' that is, and said "This is a Harlequin romance!" ......she said it wrecked the whole movie for her....anyhow.....she doesn't even remember who he is.
The neat thing is after the movie he walked out front and got on his bike and rode away....he is all environmental! When I mentioned that to Vicki she told me that I was a butthead. She is so unimpressed!
Oh ya....and the movie was great!

Holy Crap!
This was Thom's birthday party at our place!
It was our first party in our new loft.....new....we've been here for about 6 months but it still seems new!
What a time we had!
Ed was there, Jenny, Scott ( McFlurry to those in the know), Ejiro, Todd, Lisa, Molly and Grey.......it was a wonderful night.
Bill, the hair guru, had strep throat so he stayed the hell away but was missed!
Thom is always so conscious of other people's birthday ...... he needed some birthday lovin' himself!
George made a full turkey dinner!
It was soooooo good. And in honour of mine and George's Hamilton roots there was a bowl of cranberry sauce on the table that looked like it had been sucked out of the can! Yummy!
Happy Birthday, Thom!
Oh my god you guys...... I hope someone is still reading my blog because so much is happening!
Last night we opened 'Wizard of Oz' at the Lorraine Kimsa....it was an excellent night...I was all but booed off the stage....IN A GOOD WAY! It is a such a great pleasure to work there......the staff , the crew and the artistic team....what a dream!
Michael Gianfranceso did my costume.....holy crap!
It is so great that when I enter I just fly on and then give the audience a Tyra Banks pose!
(Fuck, I hate that bitch.)
How happy am I to work with the cast I am working with?
Thom...need I say more?
Shawn Wright.....funny and sweet and he makes me gut laugh.
Paul McQuillan.....he is fab in the show and also a gas.
Molly Atkinson.....she and I are Alexis and Crystal....no really.
The Girls....Sacha, Sara and Roz.....I think of them as the younguns but they are older and wiser than I at most times.....and workin' their young asses off..... Sacha has to sing all of her solo with a dog on her lap and she handles it well and it makes the scene very lovely.....I probably would have thrown a diva fit......I would like to think that I wouldn't but I know mysel too well.
Sam Moses.....he is funny and knows alot of good stories and plays a flying monkey!
And George.....it is so nice to see my husband everyday and his guard is to die for.
Anyhoops, I hope that you can make it down...people small and great seem to love it!
Check out Richard's Review at
http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/Theatre/article/274938
And after a trimphant travel around to some Ontario destinations.....check out the website for the Waterloo Review of the Party....it is a scream.........I am coming back to TO for...One Night Only.....One Night Only....That is all I have to spare!
The Diesel called and asked the Party to come on over....How could I resist?
And I don' t know how many of you remember but that is how the Party started.....At Christmas
2 years ago at Buddies in Bad Times...shout out to th peeps at Buddies....I love, love, love Christmas!! So...On December 10th you will see a whole new Christmas show at the Diesel.....check out the Details on the webpage!
And 3 days before that, on December 7th, in my hometown of Hamilton I will be playing the Party at the Westside Concert Theatre....I am totally excited about that as well!
I love my hometown people ....and what with the freakiness of Facebook I have just reconnected with a whole bunch of people from there...all good, thank god....ya know how that goes!
Who will show up to take the wind out of me?
Who knows!!!!!
Here is an article written by a fave of mine, Gary Smith, who has been helping my career along since the start.......
http://www.thespec.com/Entertainment/article/279210
Can you get over all the fricken' press!
I can't... I am very happy about it...cause I want to sell both of those dates out!!!!!
Other than that...George and I are still in our PJ's for the first time in weeks.
The days off have been devoted to promoting and doing the show.......in Kingston they seemed to have a great time!....and in Waterloo I said 'motherfucker' pretty much right away and they loved it! I will be going back to the same venue for New Years!
I also just ate a whole bag of Chips and Dip!
um.......oh...I feel a bit sickie.
We watched Next Top Model last night....hmm....they sent away the 'fat' girl......she was not fat....and she is super pretty ....prettier than some of those other skeletal bitches....and that Bianca......ahhh.
Sometimes, I get that feeling that I want to take the worlds biggest pillow and slam across peoples' heads.....Tyra, Elizabeth Hasselbesk, Bianca......a girl from the show 'Whistler' who I saw on an episode of 'Diary' on MTV.....her name was Amanda and she could not have been more infuritating......yes, I sometimes watch MTV....ya gotta keep up with the young'uns....
Oh.....Life is nice!
I hope that you are all well......

TOOO Long
We went to New York on vacation.....after 2 years we got to go away together, George and I....we had three days and I tell you ....we filled it up!!!!
I was so freakin' excited I could barely take it!
George bought us tickets to Spring Awakening....ahhhh.....and we were gonna play it by ear otherwise....and we did.
We went to see tons of cabaret, we met tons of people we knew....I will talk about it more when I ain't all pooped out from playing the WWOTW.....awesome fun that too.
I also popped into Kyle Golemba's cabaret @ the Gladstone tonight.....it was fab......lovin' that Allie Hughes.
He has the great ideas with the follow through and has the talent to back it up...Kyle that is....and he is cute as a fricken button!
Lovin' doin' the show at the Lorraine Kimsa.
It is one of my best professional experiences so far, my friends....who knew?
We laugh alot.
And it is around the corner from my house...who could ask for anything more?
Those fabu Blackman sisters, two of the biggest supporters of theatre in Toronto and surrounding environs are moving to England....they will be sorely missed by this girl, I must say.
I wish them the best!

Beatles Night!
I know I say this often but.................
Oh, what a night!
I love doin' benefit type things !
Most anyway...but this was just all too awesome!
The cast of people was dreamy....
Steve Gallagher, EJ Scott, Patricia Zentilli, Thom Allison.....MY HUSBAND!!!!.....Jennifer Stewart, Kyle Blair, Dean Armstrong, and Joe Matheson...
And we sang Beatles tunes....it was a great night put together by Mitchell Marcus, who's youth just frightens my ass...I have shoes older than that boy....but he has his shit together and is producing some of the most interesting and comtemporary music theatre in Toronto!
And the MD of the evening?
Look out people...for a man named Reza Jacobs....he was quite thrilling to work with. His ideas were new and his enthusiasm was infectious....I think this man is on his way to some place......and a good place @ that!
Everyone was wonderful but I would like to point out some of my favourite moments of the evening....
Steve G starting the show screaming ( in a awesome rock and roll way) 'ST. Pepper'...that boy is in a club that I think I belong to ....
( someone else said this joke...I cannot take credit)
the ' I-really-deep-inside-think-I-am-black' club.
That man has got some pipes!
My honey singing the pop tune ' Day in the Life'....I love it when Georgie sings pop.....it makes me giggle-ie.
He so handsome.
Patricia Zentilli sang a version of 'Strawberry Fields' that just blew me away....it was so honest and pure.....I went from 'wow' to' Wowie' to 'Jealous' to ' I am past jealous and just impressed'.....that was alot of emotions to got through in one song, let me tell you!
I cannot wait to see her in 'Little Shop' @ Canstage.
EJ....she is just the bomb.....both of her songs ( 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' and 'Something') were so original and dynamic...gotta buy her albums!!
My fave of the whole night was Thom singing 'Lady Madonna'.....it was...it was...just luminous.
What a night we had!
The audience was sold out and I had a drum solo in my tune!!!
What more could you ask for?
Saturday, September 22, 2007
My Friend Thom.....
Now....this wasn't what he was wearing at Statlers tonight....this is what he wore when we went to the zoo.....doesn't he look cute?
Tonight, Thom did a cabaret at the new Statlers...nice room by the by.....
It was packed my friends....PACKED!
Thom did 3 sets.....yup.....3....that is 36 songs....full-the-fuck-out!
He rocked....
he sang 'Gorgeous', 'Miss Celie's Blues' and ' I Am Changing' to name but a few.
He told stories and had an awesome theme 'Past, Present and Future'....he was just stellar!
Can anyone sing like him?
I was sitting with my friend Ed Sahely, the funniest guy in showbiz and Jonathon Wilson, who is so creative.... and I turned to them at one point and I told them that I felt like I was in New York.....oh I hope the days of cabaret are here to stay.
It was AWESOME!!!!

The Party's Over.......
How tiny is this picture....I am still too tired to make it any bigger....I tried some others...but god bless you all who took them......the angle was bad for my ego or they were, believe it or not....smaller.
Oh my.......I cannot believe that we are done at he Gladstone....I say that with sadness and a bit of creative relief.
I look forward to utilizing all of the material that I have written and songs that were arranged for the version that will be on the road and that we will bring back to Toronto to a bigger theatre.....Yes my friends....that is the plan.....I am gonna use the road to finesse and then the Party will re-emerge when you least expect it....
Woo hoo.
But back to the night of September 17th....
What a NIGHT!
We were so worried about everyone fitting but, of course, in the back of my head 'what if no one came'?
Well, Sean from LKTYP was in line reading the Now mag at 6:00pm.....new record and I love him for it.....it was very soon after that the line started to grow and by 7:00pm it was around the corner... 'Sharron's Bitch' t-shirts were everywhere!
At 8:00pm they came and told me....well 'they' was George....that I couldn't come down yet because they were still letting people in....2 at a time....and it was too many people for me to go down and say 'hi' to at this late time.....I always love that.....
But it was 230 people.
Yup....you read that right!
And we decided that this night would have not guests and be all Me.
Patrick and I would celebrate the two years and then show the audience and ourselves what it would be like on the road.
It was cool.....I did three songologues.
One was the first I wrote ....called 'My Name is Sharron Matthews and I love Britney Spears' and another was called 'Highschool Dancing' and it has me ending with 'I Will Survive'....
Ending with a disco tune never fails....
It was an amazing night....so many faces that I love and so many that have been such wonderful supporters.....
I felt very blessed and proud.
The CD Party Girl was released and we sold almos 100 copies!!!
Woo Hoo!!!!
I am really proud of it.....Patrick produced it and did a wonderful job.
And now.....on to the new life of 'Sharron's Party' and whatever is next.....I am very excited and have a whole bunch of new ideas rolling around my head...who knows what I will do next...but one thing is for sure.....the Party will keep on going.
On Monday September 24th I am doing a show called
' A Little Help From My Friends'
for Mitchell Marcus.....
Here is the webpage.......
So, check that out....
George is in it and Thom and Steve Gallagher....to name a few.....
and October the 11th I am in Kingston...check out my website.....
And the next day I start 'Wizard' ......wowie....wow.
So, I am movin' on out.....but to where?
That is the exciting part.
Don't stop reading Bloggers....we are just beginning.

Too Long....
It has been toooo long ...are you still there?
I am so excited and this has been such and awesome time.....and of course I feel that it was important enough to tell the whole interweb!
We spent long days and nights working on the Cd with Patrick as the producer......oh my, but I am really happy with the whole thing......it is fun and funny and I don't sound too bad.....if I do say so myselF....
Sharron...
that does not sell CD's.....
It sounds AWESOME!
We will release it @ the last Sharron's Party on
Monday September 17th......
ahhh the last party....
sigh....
sad and happy...
we have bookings all over Ontario over the next 4 months and have already done two.....
We were in Brampton...where the audience was 17 years old to 80....not lying....I asked right away if I could say cocksucker.....
that seems to be the barometer for the evening for me....isn't my mother proud?
Last night we hauled our cookies up to Waterloo for their subscriber night...
the Waterloo Entertainment Centre just bought 8 months of Sharron's Party with extra shows @ Christmas and New Years....once a month just like here......
It is super exciting that the AD up there wants to build an audience!
The lovely Barb Barsky was there....she is doing Master Class...and her husband Marek....who I love....was playing piano for her when she sang "Infinite Joy"....ah that song is nice.
Jean Stillwell was there....singing pretty and lookin' fierce...as was her accompanist Patti Loach....she cool.....
Young Ari Weinberg was singing from Bunnicula....which they are also doing there.....
then I brought up the rear with some Britney Spears and Pussy Cat Dolls....I am nothing if not fancy.....
You guys....I am so excited about the 17th....
here is the info from my webpage and Facebook
Can you believe it?
One more show!!!
And that night 'Sharron's Party' is full of things that are awesome.....
The Cd 'Party Girl' will be released....it will hot off the fricken press...
Our last 'Party' ...for a while at least, while we spread the funny and the potty mouth to the rest of the world...... starting with Ontario.....
We will tell you what is next for us!
And most importantly.....It is my BIRTHDAY!
What a day....what a day!
Patrick is exhausted by my excitement already!
So, come on down to the
Gladstone Ballroom

The doors will be @ 7:30pm and the show @ 8:00pm...

Surprises.....prizes......other things that rhyme with those two words...
Come hear new things and all of your favourite old things that you have been waiting to hear again!

We were packed.....I cannot even tell you how many people were there but it was more than ever.....
Neil Barclay from the Shaw.....Laurie Lynd who directed me....fancy huh?.....in the BBC mini-series 'I was a Rat' with Brenda Fricker...she was a bit rude to me..I digress......

Beach and Mr. Brightside
Hey Blogging Peeps!
How is the summer shaping up? George is home, so all is happier and fabulous with me....he is tired from all of the.....Halifax-ing....they do know how to get down out there.
And by "get down" I mean party....but I hate saying party like a hoser....ya know.....
Well.....Georgie and I just got back from two glorious days of lying on the beach at Port Dover.....we had such a great time....the weather was great and we swam and ate everything that was deep fried or came in a cone....wow...I gotta drink some slim fast for a couple of days!
We showed up at the Lighthouse Festival and snuck around till we found David Nairn and Norm Foster ......then they gave us tickets to the night show of "The Long Weekend".....we actually had to perch on the top of two folding chairs to see the show but we didn't care....we loved it and laughed and then went across the street to a place called Lightning Jacks ....I asked for a Pina Colada because they said those two words alot in the show, and the bartender looked at me like I had ordered a glass of poop......she gave me a cooler that put hair on my chest instead......
Hey...someone wrote to James, who is in charge of all the Youtube stuff, and asked if we could put Mr. Brightside on the site because they were sure that is was in the same show as "Gloria"...so we must have footage.......now let me see....I don't remember what is in the last show......this person has my deep admiration and thanks for caring!
And I mean it!!!
Here is the link for anyone who wants to know...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kssaQFynPmw
I am off to my dear friend Ryan's wedding tomorrow....he is marrying the very sweet and lovely Kerry.....I have known them both since she was 16 ...how crap ....and he was 21....isn't that sweet!!!!!!
They asked me to sing and I said yes....they are so dear....but don't tell them but I am always a bit afraid of singing at weddings .....here is why.....I am weepy.....at the very best of times.....I mean when am fully rested and everyone is well and I am not on my period I cry watching "So You Think You Can Dance".......( though...can I say....I thought the "Flower Number" by Mia Micheals was a bit much....)...so...I am always afraid that I will just become worked up and cry like a baby....and contary to what you all might think about me.....it is not always about me....I know!.....surprising.
Anyhow...here is to hoping that I don't ball like a prom queen.
I do love weddings....the food, the dancing....drinking my weight!
All so exciting!

Mary Kay and Party and.....tired!
Well, I had a great time at the Party!
We were PACKED again!
I am always amazed at the people...it makes me sooo happy to see the newbies and always happy to welcome back the return "Bitches" with opened-beglamoured-arms!
We had to hire Ari Weinberg as a "Candy Bitch" due to the fact that someone almost go killed with a stray ring pop at the June show.
Nancy Silverman can belt man....it is impressive!
She did a grand job.
Her father Sheldon won a prize for knowing that John Travolta starred in a movie called "Moment by Moment"....and furthermore that he played a character called "Sunset Strip" in same movie....wow....that is quite a knowledge.
And Steven Gallagher.....what can you say.....he is one of my all time favourite performers....really.
He sang a song that our friend Neil Bartram wrote for him...it was so lovely....oh boy...I am just gay for him.
And in our crowd.....well the fabulous younguns...always love them.....
Sean Reycraft the writer, Chris Levins the actor.....Paul Hemrond the fabu agent, Dmitry Chepovetsky from Regenesis...ooohh...he brought me huge orange gladiolas....I am probably spelling names wrong...and I am pretty sure that I spelt gladiolas wrong but again people.....spell check is for pussies....Derek Chua, Billy Lake all the way from Shaw....love that young man's name......the Blackman sisters, fabu supporters of theatre large and samll...and yes ..you Kevin...the box office manager of the Canon.....my hair guru Bill .......Thom...of course....Bittergirl and director and my best friend....Mary Francis Moore.....oooohhhh it was a panic!
And then people.....as I switch to pink
I went to Mississauga to sing at the Mary Kay conference!
Wowie!!
The money that they spend of that evening is mind boggling!
The dresses....they are all at
Grown-up-lady-prom!
But I was wainting backstage to start the show with at huge American Idol song the "Mary Kay" fanfare started...and I walked out in a red sequin number from .....where else....Fashion Crimes....and the audience of 5000...no really.....freaked out!!!
It was quite a feeling......
Then after the show one of my favorite people from highschool snuck backstage to meet me....oh...what a day!
I love you Sue Fields.....Mullholand.......whatever your new name is!
And thanks to Madeline Paul who asked me to do it!
Today.....
gasp...
go into the studio to start the CD!
NO LIE!

Paul Butler from Montreal told me it was on the front page of the Gazette!!

It is not easy to take a picture of yourself that does not include a double chin.....anyhow....in my melancholy for George .....and not only that but all.... and I do mean all of my friends are gone away.....Thom, Vicki, Patrick......just to mention a couple for gosh sakes......
I went down to the Quay to prove that I could live a life on my own and would indeed not die fat and alone.....which is where all of my imaginary bad stories end!
It was busy....all the 'mericans were in town.....vacationing.....littering.....ya know the regular stuff....so I put my boob in a sling and off I went.....I do love the water....I didn't not love the stinky footed man who sat down beside me and took off his espadilles....eff off!
Anyhows....
Last night I took my Mommy to see the Full Monty out at Stage West!
Spoiler alert:
They took their clothes off....
All of them.
Oh my.
My friend Mark was playing the lead this week.....for the last part for the run he was understudying Steve Patterson who went off to Saigon at Drayton......Miss Saigon @ Drayton.....that is just weird....anyhows.....Mark was awesome!
He sang like a rock star.....Matt Murray was ass to the wind for alot of the show......he....also awesome....and that Mark Allan....what a gorgeous voice and lovely spirit......I laughed....I cried ...and in the lady who played the piano person I saw my future...
she brassy and delivered every joke to the audience!
Then they got to the end....and they all started to take it off...I was sitting with Mark's wife Blythe and I turned to her and just started to laugh and scream like I was four....
the went down to G strings.....holy shit!
At Stage West....also worth mentioning....Two men sang to each other on that same stage as lovers......also a first....and the whitebread audience....mostly handled it well.
In the final reveal I had turned to my mom......
so ....
after all that...
I missed the weiners...
Ah well.

Facebook?
Look at the size of my skirt.....look at my hair....look at my ass.....ooh I was sooo teeny....and sometimes I ate.
Facebook continues to shock and humble me.
Just when I think that it is safe to feel ....I don't know...safe...someone sends me a picture of me showing my boobs at a first year college party...well...not really but you get the gist right?
I am totally twenty years old there....that is 18 years ago...a whole legal person ago....that is also Shannon Barnett behind me in the black and white outfits...just so I am not the only one to be mortified.....but I am proud...I worked my ass of that summer......
Canada's Wonderland....ah...I would like to thank Jeff Morden for those shots....I thought that the three of you might get a kick outta it.
Oh my....it just winds me....
I was the swing and the dance captain....it was one year before I was in Les Mis....the year I really discovered drinking....not to excess...okay maybe a little...I had super cool roomates and it was my first job after school.
They used to check our bags on the way outta the park to make sure we weren't stealing bathroom tissue....really...someone was fired for it....on my last day I put my character shoes in my bag and put two opened boxes of tampons across the top.....I mean who was gonna want the grotty shoes that I had sweated in for one million shows?
Anyway...the scary thing is Jason Knight has a video of the show.....he threatens me with it every once in a while....

History, BOYS!
Just am sitting in on Canada Day with my broken boob and have a few thoughts....
Will I ever be as rich as those naughty Princes?
Don't they just look naughty?
Especially Harry....he looks like he's tossed a few serving wenches in the barn....oh wait....it is 2007....some blondie mean-girls in the pub bathroom....that is better!
Nelly Furtado Pretty.
Rod Sterwart....lucky as a motherfucker.....loved watching his old ass....best thing in the concert!
Little disappointed that Ricky Gervais couldn't stall for a couple minutes....doesn't he know what a rousing version of a sing-a-long Footloose would do?
"History Boys".
Awesome.
With the Di concert, "History Boys" and yesterday watching "The Queen"...I am feeling a tad british...been poncing around the flat speaking in a dialect to Otto....whose breath smells like the Royal Winter Fair.

More of Dora
Oh yes...we did have fun....I wanted to show you more of the Doras...mostly I wanted you to see George in his new suit...he is so handsome......and Thom in his get up....
The second picture is of Beth Kates and myself...she designed our awesome lights for "Songs For a New World" and she was ROBBED!!!! She totally should have won!
The next picture is Mark, Thom, Me and Jeffrey Kuhn....nominee for his outstanding performance in "Story of my Life" at Canstage.....star studded night!!!!
Thom and I went to see Evan Almighty last night...we walked thru the pea soup heat to the Rainbow.....it was a bit stinky...I mean ....at least there were monkeys....but that Glimore Girl ....she not funny...we also saw it with captions for the hearing impaired which I thought would be fine but sometimes the joke was printed before Wanda Sykes ever said it....
Ah well.....
If you wanna read about my broken rib and prideday fiasco scroll to the next blog.....sees ya!

Look at me and my friend, Steve Gallagher....aren't we cute?
As for the top picture?
Let me start at the beginning.....
We are at the Doras, me and Steve,
... I had never been....George and I went with Thom Allison and our friend Mark Mcnamara....we looked awesome and were ready for some fun....
Even though I had a broken boob...
.....two days before I, in an effort to find a bit of peace in nature, went out for a ride on my bike.....I got caught in the effing streetcar tracks and fell....then ignored it for a whole day...then I went to pride to see Thom sing...because I have missed it almost 5 years running..... oh ya...and I went for a power walk that morning even thought I had a hurt boob....stood in the sun for an hour....no water....hurt boob....
passed out....
wish I as kidding....
anyhow...woke up to being held by someone very strong.....turned out to be a very strong lady....thanks out to her...she took over...got me some paramedics....then my favorite gay-gle of 5 men....their words not mine....god bless them...took me to ST. Mikes for......drum roll please....6 hours....not bad really...I felt horrible about them missing their parade...then tried to be their parade for them....
So, I had a catscan....and a xrays....they took my blood...no broken head....but a cracked rib...
I mean really!!!!
Those boys took such great care of me...though Scott Fink seemed less worried than the others and stopped on the way to ER for a McFlurry and then proceeded to eat it in the ghetto waiting room....beside me with a barf hat.
That is what I have on my head in the picture....a barf hat...they always come up with something new!
Oh ya...and Thom got peed on by some guy who's cathater flew out....I am not kidding...McFlurry man laughed so hard that he cried ice cream tears...
Then I took my broken boob home and George came back from Halifax for the Doras....he and Thom did not win but I think that we had the best time of anyone.....isn't that really winning?
Also....as a side bar....the award for best female in a musical was sponsered by Hagen Dazs...I mean, really.
Do you know that the only way that I can laugh is to hold my boob?
That is me laughing and holding my boob in the first picture...I look like shit....it is after a whole day in the ER but isn't the comedy worth it?
I would like to dedicate this blog to my fave fave Gay-gle....
who gave over their pride day to take care of me
Mark
Thom
Todd
Ejiro
Myflurry (Scott)

WRONG!!!
How could I be soooo wrong?
Mia Micheals was at home wanting to kill that whole panel....especially screaming Mary..... cause they kicked off her favourite two dancers....I cannot believe that they kept that popper because he told them that he was gonna cry...I should do that at auditions....it actually worked!
I thought that they would want to keep more versatile dancers...I was flummoxxed....and I think Lacey....Patrick and I talked about this.....I like her...I think that she is good....and my problem is ....so does she....but don't we want people to have confidence?
So, why when we see others with confidence do we react with distaste....or is that just me?
I think she is great....and one more thing....Benji.....happily pulling off his pants....weird...is still straight?
Scroll down two blogs to hear about my show on Monday!~!!!! We will dance up!
It really is the last four shows so you wanna get out here....by the way Kyle....Gaytard.....hysterical....made me wish I had made it up.....you didn't say how your show went?
Kyle Go...LEE...emba....did you get my email?

So you think....
So ...you guys I have been busy as shit...really ...only able to watch PVR's of the View during dinner to sate my appetite for crappy TV....well, what the fuck happened to that show, huh? Barbra Walters became the show police and Elizabeth became a smug b***h.
....why do I spell it and not say...somehow it seems nicer...why do I want to be nice to her.....quite honestly ...she is not worth me losing any karma...
b***h.
Anyhow..will watch it until I cannot stand it anymore but that is who I am....
Most important....besides my show on Monday at the Gladstone.....scroll to next blog to read about it!...
So You Think You Can Dance began in earnest last night....I watched a couple of the routines more than once....I am not saying how many times.... like a gaylord....I loved it...I missed it....mean Mia Michels, who looks like it takes major deals with the devil to smile......Shane Sparks....love him ....and he love all the girls.....the Panel....screaming Mary.....screaming Nigel for that matter and Dan...I like him....do you think he is straight....please don't laugh...something has happen to my meter in the last few years......
I loved the ballet dancer and the latin dancer who did the swing routine....too early to learn their names.....and Benji's sister....like they weren't going to keep her......and whoever that guy was who caught her a million times.....awesome....I also like the ballroom guy and hip hop girl doing the waltz....I thought that they were beautiful....
tha ballroom dancing girl and the hip hop breakin guy are going tonight....that is my prediction.....too bad for her........

New Template better....
'Cause the old one sucked!!!
Man it is amazing what a good night of sleep can do.....I still feel a bit fragile from the move and all but I am gettin'my groove back on...not like Stella and her Groove....'cause that just turned out bad for Terry MacMillan.......if you don't know what I mean...trust me....it is funny...maybe not hahaha funny but titter funny at the least.....
I am soooooo happy to be with Georgie....he is dreamy....I came out of the plane..(where I sat beside "My Legs are too big for the plane" guy...he owes me at least $50 for sharing my space...ass).....and I was looking for George and I couldn't see him......and I was a bit sad.....then I heard our family whistle.....the one we use to find each other in Malls and other places with too many people....and there he was popping out from a pole and I ran at him like I was a teenager....I know I mentioned that yesterday but it bears mentioning again....then he brought me back to his apartment .....it is a building where all the university students live...I feel like I am a million years old....they look sooooo young and they like music that booms out the same bass line for a half and hour......I am old and crotchety..then last night I went to a bar with George and our friends Carla and her man David ( who helped with the nervous-breakdown-move) and Aviva....apps and wine.....me....drunk...after.....three sips.....and a bit belligerent....I have now made a small plan to be a bit drunk on and off here....is that wrong for a 38 year old woman???
....oh wait...I don't give a poopie......hahaahhaha!

out east
Here I am ....in Halifax.....so glad that I am finished with our house and getting into our new place...holy crap ....do you know about taking off wallpaper??? Holy poopie......this wallpaper was stuck to the wall with spunk or something and then they painted over it......After the show on the 16th... I got up all bright and early....7:00am people!!!! ....and went to my new place and wet down the wall, waited and ripped away a piece the size of a nickel and had a nervous breakdown.....I grossly over estimated the scope of my abilities and underestimated the amount of work that I had to do...called George in Halifax and cried like a baby....he called our friends Cory and David ...I called Patrick....and my mother to take care of sweet, sweet Otto............and we worked our asses off...we pulled a couple almost all nighters.....if we heard that fricken Girlfriend song by Avril one more time....I was gonna puke....Cory actually came up with a little dance.....and as a singin'...dancin''......contactor he is somethin'else.....Then blogger Kevin came to help with the move.....thank god......all his portugese strength came out in full force....the movers were Russian and kinda treated me like the little woman....we all know how much I love that.....so ......I am slowly unpacking......and having a full out street fight with freakin' Rogers phone.... oh dear lord.....they suck.....big balls.....smelly ones.....George and I ...mostly George ....has spent over 12 hours...I shit you not....on the phone with them..... I hate them....but finally a process that started in January has just finished......frick....I have celebrated with chips....alot of chips...that has gotta stop.......but I am here with my George....I love him....he makes me smile....when I saw him at the airport I ran at him like he was my highschool boyfriend.......and "Hey, Hey, You, You, You Don't Need a Girlfriend"..... see how I return to the comedy?

I am a total gaylord!
Loved it....I didn't think Chelsea sang good enough to stay.....
Ah well.
I hope Melissa R....

I loved his classes!
Who else.....Kyle came all the way from Barrie...sweet..
Stuart Dowling was there....love him..
Charlotte Moore....Susan Henley....who caled to say
"I laughed, I cried, I peed my pants".

I sang....I danced..... I cried....I made fun of Patrick....who dressed up like a motherfucker....he looked AWESOME!
......He made fun of me......Kristina was excellent!....she rode her bike with all of her stuff on her back......
