CHICAGO!!!

Hola, habaneros!

Your gurl Halle survived another trip to North Halsted Market Days in Boystown, Chicago IL.

I saw a few celebrities while I was there:

Britney Spears & Brandy...

Diana Ross... Bishop Desmond Tutu ...and Donald Trump's Penis
My friends and I got to make friends with some flamingos:

Saw two drag legends from Indy:

Montana Melons

& Audrey Heartburn
Checked out the latest fashion trends on the Magnificent Mile:

And hung out with the riff-raff at Greg's North (aka Side Tracks):


The end.

Feeling sooo much better...

Hola, Poppers!

Yesterday was a HORRIBLE day for your gurl Halle. I was on my way into work yesterday morning when I, how do I put this delicately, blew chunks all over my frock and my car. It was sooo not pretty.

I called my boss and explained the sitch to him then drove home where I spent the next 6 hours alternately laying down and running back and forth to hug the loo. With no one to hold my hair, I was a sniveling, vomiting, wretching mass of a mess begging for some intruder to break in and put me out of my misery. Around 3:30, I was finally able to keep down some consomme' and flat Sprite the roomie had in the fridge. It was truly a wonderful way to spend the day. Thank Cher I'm feeling sooo much better today.

I'll be heading downtown for the Pride mixer at Agio this evening. If you haven't been to one, the Indy Pride mixer is a great way to meet some fanTAStic people. They can help you get plugged in to the community and attendance also provides an opportunity for networking. I've only been to a couple of the mixers, but Agio consistently provides a scrumptions selection of apps to enjoy with beer, wine and cocktails. The mixer will be from 6:00 - 8:ish at Agio. Stop by to eat, meet & greet!

I don't have alot planned for this weekend other than work. I'm working at an ice cream social tomorrow and have work-related pool parties on Saturday & Sunday; rough way to make a living, huh? I suppose it beats being stuck in an office or store all day. I'll be going with friends to a late night showing of "The Dark Night" on Saturday. In preparation, I re-watched "Batman Begins" Tuesday.

Halle doesn't watch much TV, but I've become pretty hooked on Shear Genius on Bravo and I was excited to see Project Runway kick off its new season last night. I'll be posting occasionally on these shows. If you haven't seen either of them, check them out! There's tons of drama! Anytime you have shows about fashion designers or hairstylists, you can be sure there will be plenty of homos and catty gals. Fights, tears, breakdowns...it's WONderful! Oh, and the talents of the contestants provide much in the way of inspiration for fashion forward 'mos and drag queens and the girls and gurls who love them!

I had a fun lil evening with Holly Luyah and Stella Couture on Monday. Great to see you gals! ;-)

Going to be somewhat laid back for the next couple of days babies, but be sure to check back for mini-posts.

Have a great week/end, habaneros!

Love ya, mean it.

*kiss kiss*

p.s. Sorry about the gossip teaser the other day. Some of you didn't think it was very nice...I thought it was cute. :-)

Back in Indy

Hellooooooo, Poppers!! O MI GAWD, I'm glad to be home!! As much as I loved being with my friends in Las Vegas, I just don't think it's the city for me. Outside of the occasional layover when I was a flight attendant, I hadn't spent any significant time in LV. IF I go back again, it will definitely be in the off-season and will only be for 3, 4 days max.

There's sooo much to do, sooo much to see, sooo much to avoid and sooo much to step over that it's a skosh overwhelming for someone like Halle. After spending a long weekend with family followed almost immediately by not quite 6 days with friends, I think Halle needs some alone time; no offense to either group.


I did have a good time and it was nice to get away from Indy for a minute, but as Dorothy says, "there's no place like home." Those of us who live in Indy are sooo blessed to have what we do. Indy's a beautiful, clean city and people (for the most part) are considerate.

I spent most of the day yesterday catching up on sleep (slept until 1:ish yesterday afternoon) then got up long enough to pay some bills, run some errands, grab a quick cocktail, get my hurr did and do laundry. Gracie, the puss I share with the roommate was muy excited to see me home and she spent as much time as possible on my lap and in my bed. I love that gurl on Prozac!!
Cadillac Barbie sent out an email this afternoon asking for some jacked up hurr for Friday's movie screening of "Hairspray" at the Trumps so I'll be getting together with Naomi this evening to bump, jack, burn and bang some wigs for centerpieces.

Gonna close this one out for now with some pics from my time away including the pic of boy-me with the Queen of all Media, Perez Hilton. Have a great evening, Poppers!!
