Fuck - I own a puppy!

She is eight weeks old, I have no idea what I'm doing and we still don't have a name. I was thinking Betsy... something super gay.

Any ideas?

The Universe of Keith Haring

'I knew he could hear me, even in his state. I said to him - don't worry your legacy will live on. He stopped shaking and then he died...'

Oh sweetie, one has just finished watching TUOKH, it finally got delivered, and once again another must see documentary.

For starters it was so strange hearing him speak, when you read so much about someone you create a voice in your head so when you eventually hear theirs it always comes as a shock. Secondly he reminded me (scarily) of someone I used to work with... take a guess?

I enjoyed watching because, for me, it answered a lot of questions. Also, after reading the coffee table book it was nice to hear and see people who had been mentioned talk about Keith and the impact he had and still has on their lives and many others.

A very amazing, oddly attractive, artist that was one of a kind.

Books. Past, present and future.

Past: I finally finished ready 'The Secret Life of Bees' and f**king loved it. A sweet, sad and funny tale about a girl named Lily who lives in South Carolina in the mid 60's. Two words my friend - READ IT.

Present: 'The Birth House' is the book I have just started. It was given to me by my gorgeous friend Sacha who recommended I read The Secret Life of Bees.

Future: 'Annie Leibovitz at Work'. After watching a documentary about this amazing woman I automatically added this to my Birthday list. One has already had a peruse and I look forward to picking this one up as soon as my current read is done.

Grey Gardens

I should have seen this film a long, long time ago.

Beautifully engaging, remarkably funny and undeniably one of my new favorites. Once ended the first thing I wanted to do was rewind, and lose myself again in the world of Grey Gardens.

Here are two of the best quotes;

Little Edie - "'Course, I'm mad about animals, but raccoons and cats become a little bit boring. I mean, for too long a time."

Little Edie - "You can't have your cake and eat it, too in life."

Big Eddie - "Oh yes, I did. I had my cake, loved it, masticated it, chewed it and had everything I wanted."

Red Velvet Cupcakes

These have become ones signature cupcake. This time I added vanilla seeds to the cream cheese icing to give it a little something extra.

Film: The Color Purple

I am completely and utterly ashamed to admit that I, a gay man, watched The Color Purple, for the first time EVER, yesterday.

I cried so hard I could barely breathe, it was like watching the Coronation Street Christmas special on the biggest come down of ones life. 

Oh Miss Celie... 

SONG: Pacific Rhythm by Quiet Village

I fucking love this song. Go to video bar on the right hand side and sit back, relax and enjoy.
