After a few days of letting the dust settle from the entire chaos of Trannyshack Halloween in San Francisco and the West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval soak it, I am now ready to deal with the whole experience.
Trannyshack Halloween was great as always. I think the entire "team" had a blast overall. I will have to agree that the performance wasn't "really that good" but it is/was what it is/was, and we gave it our all considering the few bumps in the road we had to encounter. I know Toxic Waist is grateful for those who gave their time and effort in re-creating Camp Toxic Waist for the NorCal audience.
I have a feeling most people don't know where to categorize Toxic Waist. She is not a "glam girl", and she doesn't want to be. She is a total clown. Dare I say an outcast... even in the performance world. She has no interest in wanting to be on RuPaul's Drag Race. And the bitch doesn't do "Heather drag". I think that is where the issue sometime lies.
With that being said, I think I can summarize what happened at Camp Toxic Waist in what I like to call "the three strikes":
Strike 1: The Toxic Waist Team was from LA. Not to say that everyone was looking down on the girls from Los Angeles, but so far my experience is anytime you mention you are from La La Land, and if you go so far to say that you love living there, the reverse snobbery is ugly.
Strike 2: In comparison to the other performances, Camp Toxic Waist was one of the shortest. I guess attempting to cram all of the "events" into just over four minutes doesn't/didn't do it justice.
Strike 3: The big reveal of blood was a complete let down. The ball was totally dropped. Unfortunately, the blood wasn't checked for squirting consistency and the sprayer was clogged up - something that wasn't discovered until the return home.
Always a silver lining: Live and learn. At least Toxic Waist can say she/he/it had the time of her/his/it's life and was humbled by the opportunity to perform at Trannyshack. If she/he/it gets a chance to perform again here in Los Angeles, hopefully things will run much smoother. It's still early for Team Toxic Waist - who knows what they have up their sleeves in the future.

Need More Lemon Pledge
I'm going to have to hire Consuelo to clean up all this dust this blog has been gathering. In a nutshell, I've been recovering from Folsom Street Fair, working on changing my sleep schedule, organizing my environment, and dealing with what is known to some as Toxic Waist. I'm sure that it will all work out. This girl is a true optimistic.

Apparently My Alley Didn't Get Enough
Even though I just got back from San Francisco a couple of days ago, I'm heading back there again to see my homeGHOUL Raya Light's stage play: The Unbearable Lightness of Raya (The 2011 Remix) / HALLOWEEN! The Ballad of Michele Myers at CounterPULSE in SoMa. Should be a hoot.
I'll be driving up there tomorrow afternoon with Woods. Sounds like I will be hanging with "the girls" all weekend. Might have time to enjoy an "appointment" or two, but we'll see. Them homosexuals can be rather flakey. Oh well, such is life.

My Alley Needs Rest
Up Your Alley was the best. Plain and simple. It totally kicked Folsom Street Fair 2010's ass. No bullshit, drama, jealousy, overly intoxication, or any other annoyances that have plagued street fair and events in the past. It was all about sexual expression and freedom. I'm still reeling from the experience.
Two minute review of the weekend: The Domination joined Woods and I on the trek up to SF. The weather was rather "nice" for the fair. Dom's birthday, which fell on the street fair Sunday, was celebrated with beer, shots and gropes. I hung out with my best buds, and made some new ones. Ran into tons of old friends, fuckbuds and those in-between. Spent 5 hours at Powerhouse - yes, you read that correctly. Glowed in my exhibitionist spirit while parading around only in my boots. Created a new neck piece: the jockstrap. Enjoyed a late night romp with Woods and a "new friend". Ended the night with "the girls" at 440.
Regarding my look, it was built around my new obsession: the garrison hat. Apparently, I am not the only one into this as I have noticed many homosexuals completing their get-ups with this head piece - insert Sims line here: "Bitches always jackin' my style". True that! Anyhooter, Woods described my outfit best: European infantry inspired. Now I included a photo below, but what you can't see is my Fluevog boots, wool socks, my jeans are cut off shorts, beige hanky, and hidden jockstrap. I was very pleased how this turned out.
Now that I am in recovery mode, it's time to ponder about what to do for Folsom - which is less than two months away. I have a few ideas in mind already, but with San Francisco, it's dependent on the weather - as always. Not every city can have temperatures like Los Angeles. Oh, le sigh.

My Alley Is Open
My mother left back to Arizona yesterday after a week plus long stint here in the City Of Angels. Now it's time to clear my mind with a much needed holiday in San Francisco for the Up Your Alley street fair. For those of you who don't know, Up Your Alley or also known as Dore Alley to the San Franciscans, is a smaller, sluttier version of the now infamous Folsom Street Fair which takes place in September. Now as much as I love Leather Pride (what I call Folsom Street Fair), my preference is for Up Your Alley. Most likely due to the fact that the crowd is more comfortable in their get-ups, the locals reign supreme (not as many tourists), and the rather annoying looky-loos are kept to a minimum. The biggest obstacle for me at this point, is piecing together my outfit. Right now, I am going for a military inspired look complete with garrison hat. We'll see how this plays out. Time to pack.

Escape From Witch Mountain
My legacy of excuses ends here...
It's taking many years to get to this point, but I feel I'm much closer to my goal than I have ever been in the past few years. It's now the time to stop all of the bullshit so I can move ahead.
This will be my chance to re-birth this blog. Again.
