Random Thoughts on Southern Decadence 2007

Thanks for coming down to enjoy SD and spend your $$ here. Hope you found positive things to report. We're not out of the woods by any means and still sorely need assistance.Pass the word that we're still here, cher. Thanks and book again for next year.

Well, isn't this special!!!! Drag queens and catamite associates enjoying the warm sun. The culture of death/sodomy is flourishing and 'coming together' in the N.O. Quarter. Be well............

and i am not either a perv or sodomite.. they put on a great parade and spent a lot of money in the french quarter.. you probably drank Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer and marched with that ex-con married to a stripper.. rev storm? lmao..

Pervs' indicates the plural possessive...perhaps you meant to write the simple plural "pervs". By the way, why did you come to the Quarter, knowing the nature of the weekend's revels?

Hmm,
$100 million + spent over the course of 3 days.
Over 100,000 visitors that spend 3-4 times per person than the average tourist.
NO reports of serious or violent crime.
I say let's have more of this.

****Lifted those comments with no particular design from the forums at Nola.com- despite the few comments on the evil ways of attendees, it would seem that even the normally feisty crowd lurking in the Vieux Carre forum was happy with the turnout and shows this past weekend. I couldn't agree more- this was my first time viewing the Decadence parade- in years past I usually slept all day and was out all night. What a different Decadence I had- sooooo much fun and laughs. Wasn't all that decadent- since I have been doing shots of Jaeger before breakfast for many years now hehe! On my list of things to remember for next year- bring bags of old beads! I never think to haul beads anywhere or that I will scream for them any time other than Mardi Gras- but I get on that corner of St. Ann and Bourbon, and I see all of those "tourists" shouting and catching and I lose control! There was a huge black queen up on the Bourbon Orleans balcony- and I just started shouting- "I love your big black booty!!" "Show me them groceries!!" Bammmmm! I had a fistful of beads before I knew it! I still get so exhilarated when beads fly my way! I have friends who give me hell- saying that enough is enough, that I have been here 5 years- there is no reason to still flip out for beads. To them I say- the day I stop flipping out for beads will be a sad one- means I stopped breathing, etc.!


**This is not from Decadence- just evidence of my dragon-like bead lust from this past St. Patrick's Day!!

Ohhh- I know that song- what is it?!

Haven't done this in a while- probably because the last time I did, the only person who guessed was the person I "liberally lifted" the great idea from! But I persevere! Oh- and that lovely couple getting down in the picture? Random kids at FQFEST this year!
The Rules - Put your iTunes on random. Post lyrics from the first songs that play. Post it on your blog & let everyone guess the song & artist. When a song is guessed correctly, strike out the lyrics & post the title in bold. Looking the lyrics up on any search engine is cheating!! So, if you know the song - leave your guess in a comment. If you’re right, I’ll post your name (or link). Enjoy!

1. Dig that steam/Giant butt/Makes me scream/I get a nut nut nuthin/but the shakes over you/(Nothin) Nothin' else could ever do...

2. (Song Title)/In the twilight's last gleaming/This is open season/But you won't get too far/We know you've got to blame someone/For your own confusion/But we're on guard this time/Against your final solution...

3. Gettin down for life, thats right, you better learn/Why play with fire, burn/We get together like a choir, to acquire what we desire/We do dirt like worms, produce G's like sperm/'til legs spread like germs/I got extensive hoes, with expensive clothes/and I sip fine wines and spit vintage flows/What y'all don't know?

4. There once was a time and there once was a way/We had something going and to my dismay/Attention to me seemed to drift though I don't know where/And when we're alone seems there's nothing to say/I bring up a topic and you push it away/You say that you do but I think it's just you don't care/Why do I feel you're using me...
****"I Beg Your Pardon" by Kon Kan - correctly identified by Luis Ramirez- right on Luis!!

5. Thinkin' short of what you got/Better get it while it's hot/Ain't no better love than your own/Unmistakin' urge 2 be sexin' with society/How can you be happy alone...

6. Every man deserves a good woman/and I want you to be my wife./Time is so much better spent with you baby/a woman just like you in my life./So let me love you/fill you up inside/I want to hold you baby...

7. Whispering in his ear/my magic potion for love/telling him I'm sincere/and that there's/nothing too good for us/and I just got to be (song title) ...

8. What is this madness/That makes my motor run/And my legs too weak to stand/I go from sadness/To exhilaration/Like a robot at your command/My hands perspire and shake like a leaf/Up and down goes my temperature/I summon doctors to get some relief/But they tell me there is no cure...

9. Must have been livin' right the day I met you/Had to be a starry night, my dreams came true/I don't deserve him, I don't understa-and/I'm gonna love you the best that I can ...

10. Theres a message/In the wild/And Im sending you/This signal tonight/You dont know
How desperate Ive become/And it looks like Im losing this fight/In your world/I have no meaning/Though Im trying hard/To understand/And its my heart thats breaking...

Heart him!!!

I'M SELLING A HOUSE!

LINK TO HOUSE I AM SELLING!

Florida bustee's message t-shirt tells the whole story

AUGUST 1--Meet Amanda Lynn Bailey. The Florida woman, 41, was arrested early yesterday on a drunk driving charge, her second DUI bust in the past three months. Bailey, a dealer at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, was booked into the Hillsborough County jail at 4:41 AM. There, a sheriff's employee snapped the below mug shot of Bailey, making sure that the photo's composition included the entire unfortunate message on her t-shirt.
