Tiffany Times Two

I am sick at home as I type this. I stayed home Wed. as I had a sore throat and sounded like Ja Rule when I spoke. I sucked it up and went into work yesterday (Thurs) and got a lot done despipte my constant coughing. I was planning on staying late last night but I just felt gross so I came home and went to bed early and decided to stay home today. Thank god I did!

I haven't updated my blog in weeks it seems! Everyone was asking how the Tiffany shows went...they were great! Here are some pictures I took w/ my new new camera that I am in love with!!!



First up pics from Tiff's show at Circuit:

We were lucky enough to meet her again. She was super sweet and took time to sign stuff for us as well as pose for a picture w/ her "godsons"!

Being the big dorks we are, we also went out to see her the following night at Hunter's. If any of you have been to Hunter's you'll know it's uh, rather interesting. The crowd is suburban gays (we all know how scary they can be) and really bad cross dressers! LOL! Again she gave another great show as you can see below:

We were able to meet her yet again and I got a few autographs for some friends who could not make it (not to mention I had her sign a few more cds for me!). With that said now I have almost every one of my Tiffany cds signed!

Look!!!! BTW if any of you are familiar w/ Tiffany's 2nd album Hold An Old Friend's Hand, there is a song on there that is über trashy that I love to death called Drop That Bomb. If you can see in the pic I asked Tiff to sign my cd "To Joe Drop That Bomb!" to which she obliged! She rocks!

In case any one was wondering how Chus is taking to our new home...

Needless to say he's fitting in just fine :) Hope everyone is having a good day. Off to see the Simpsons movie today as well (cause that's all I've been hearing about all summer).

Woo hoo!

My Loco Mía CD/DVD import from Spain just arrived!!! OMG I want to go home right now and watch it! To tide my over, and you guys too...some performances of my favorite LM moments!

This song was from the controversial second formation of LM...so what if they weren't the originals, they had the best songs! Why wouldn't they, Mónica Naranjo's producer did these songs for them! Check out Obsesiva:



And what better way to celebrate Loco Mía in all their tackiness...then this interview w/ the queen of all things tacky in Mexico, Verónica Castro:

Living Dolls

Today's post is not about the late 80s Who's The Boss spin-off, Living Dolls. Maybe I'll save that for another day. Today I'd like to talk to you all about one of my dorky hobbies. Celeb dolls! I don't know what it is, but I love celebrity dolls. Call me a big 'ol homo if you will...but I just love them!

I guess what started my thoughts on today's topic is that when I was in high school I had 2 Beverly Hills 90210 dolls. In particular these two:





Being the fool that I am I decided to give them away to my best friend. Years later I found out he doesn't even have them anymore because his mom gave them away! WTF. So now that I am an adult and am allowed to spend money on such foolish things I purchased a brand new Donna Martin doll on ebay for only $10! Woo hoo! Now I just need to replace my Shannen Doherty doll and I'm all good :)

So what other dolls do I have? I have 3 RuPaul dolls, some Spice Girls dolls, a few Britney Spears dolls (I don't even like her, but people bought them for me), a Christina Aguilera doll and a Hilary Duff doll!

OMG I think this qualifies is my gayest post ever! Are there any other celeb dolls that I should add to my collection. Maybe I'll track down those old Saved By The Bell dolls. I can recreate my own version of this...



Edit:
I had to come back and write the reason why I started this post in the first place! For those of you who grew up in the 80s do you remember this doll???



As a kid I always wanted a Brooke Shields doll! I remember my grandfather would take me to Toys-R-Us w/ him (he had a grocery store and he would buy diapers there and resell them at his store) and he would let me get something small. I had a Ken doll so I would buy outfits for him (I know I know...what a fag) and I always remember that damn Brooke Shields doll sitting on the store shelf! I wonder how much they go for on ebay? I guess this is where my celeb doll fascination began.

Hey shouldn't the RBD and new Cher dolls be out by now?

Boom



I absolutely loathe fireworks. So I find it funny that it rained like cats and dogs on the 3rd. Seriously I just think they are boring. What is the point? Anyhoo...that didn't stop people from setting them off in our alley last night. The sad thing is you would have thought it would have been some ghetto mofos but it was all these hipsters. I honestly do not see the point. But I must say nothing is as bad as when I lived in Bridgeport (aka Shitport) on Chicago's South Side. As Rob jokingly told me It was like war!. Seriously there was smoke everywhere you couldn't even see your house it was so bad. Anyoo I am glad this "Holiday" is over, but I am sure people will continue to light their illegal fireworks until summer is gone.

Which btw I hope is soon. I just can't stand the heat!

Anyhoo enough bitching about fireworks. What I wanted to talk about is how much I am in love with ex-Kabah member María José's solo debut! It's such a fun pop album! I highly recommend it!!!



To check out more on here visit her official myspace page. I always liked Kabah, and incidently felt she was the only one w/ a half way decent voice (which when you think about it isn't that big of a feat). Anyhoo I'm just loving the sounds she explored. The songs are really catchy and I can not get enough of it! I am not when this is getting a US release, but I did notice that it's avaialbe on for download on itunes USA. This is my favorite song on the album, it's called Habla menos:



Well peeps I have to get back to work. Be good.

We did it, lo hicimos



We are all moved in!!! Finally!!!! Took forever but EVERYTHING is now out of the old apartment, cleaned it yesterday, etc. and now it's no longer a concern of mine.

Today we are busy unpacking trying to find a home for all our crap. I honestly so far adore our new place and I like how close we are to everything. Chus loves it too, as there are tons of smaller dogs in the neighborhood. We already met like 5 this week alone! Our neighbors are super quiet, which is odd for an apartment building I think.

Anyhoo...hope you're all enjoying your weekend. Gotta get back to some unpacking. We are going to IKEA on Friday, which I am looking forward to :)

Peace in yo' middle crease.
