Eyelashes, sandwiches and Divine
Fresh eyelash extensions! I now have a new eyelash salon to go to, and I couldn’t be happier about it. The cost is about 1/3rd of what I was paying before for a full set, and the drive time is less than 10 minutes. What more could I ask for? I requested NOT full drag queen length this time, because the super-long ones tend to brush up against my glasses and become tangled and cause me a whole lot of irritation. This length is purr-fect. I keep forgetting I have them until I look in the mirror and it’s a happy surprise!
In Ballard. Last Friday we went to Populuxe, the same wonderful place that invited me to be their featured artist last year. We went to the fabulous Peruvian sandwich cart and had brisket sandwiches–UH-mazing. I took a picture of Josh snarfing down his sandwich but it didn’t turn out, er, particularly flattering. The dude running the sandwich cart gave me some special Peruvian purple corn juice to try. He told me it had “medicinal properties”, but didn’t elaborate on what they were. It looked like wine.
“Is this non-alcoholic?” I asked before I took a sip.
“Of course!” he assured me.
It tasted like watered-down grape juice, but hey, free drink, right?
The featured artist had some cool photo prints on metal. I’m sure you can guess which one caught my eye.
Divine fans need to put “I Am Divine” into their Netflix queue, STAT. It’s an excellent documentary that was released last year, and features all of the (still living) Dreamlanders plus fun special guests like Holly Woodlawn, Lypsinka, Susan Lowe, Tab Hunter…
…not to mention lots of cool photos of Divine that I had never seen before.
Lypsinka had this great quote: “‘Female Trouble’ is John’s ‘Gone with the Wind‘” which I whole-heartedly agree with. I love that movie!
And while we’re on the subject of Things You Need to Watch, my new favorite show is “Broad City”! I managed to plow my way through the entire first season this past week, and I’m only bummed out that Hulu doesn’t have more to watch. I just about lost it when Amy Sedaris appeared in one of the episodes! This show is SO GOOD. I need to watch it with my Broad, stat. Maybe a Broad Night is in order.
Joshy getting ready to clean our bathroom. We’ve been doing a lot of spring cleaning for Mumsie’s arrival. JUST A FEW MORE DAYS unghhfffff I CAN’T WAIT. Coming up tomorrow: the Easter photos! Have a fabulous Earth Day, blog-logs. Don’t forget to hug a tree!
