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. 

Kitchen - The morning after.

The party was fun, everyone got drunk and stoned, people fell over, cried, got high from the helium tank, ate, drank more, broke things and generally had a good time. 

This photo I took in the morning, before the clean up. 

My Manhattan themed Birthday party!

Henry asked me to leave the house 5hrs before my party started so he could prepare/decorate. My man went to town.  

There were two 4ft canvas with I 'heart' NY, and I 'heart' MD painted onto them. Helium balloons matching the American flag colors. To snack we had pizza and pretzels and the cocktails du jour were Manhattans and Cosmos. NYC Cheesecake was what ones candles arrived on and my gift list included a new book by Annie Leibovitz, lots of alcohol, a big bag of weed and a pipe, a photography book on India and vouchers. Treats is all I can say. 

Film choice - The Universe of Keith Haring

Two things: I have yet to watch this, but it is in the post heading this way. One will review at the end of the week. 

Finally quit smoking...

... and now have a cold. 

So sweetie, after hearing the news that most of my friends have quit smoking, I made a personal decision to follow suit and stop. 

I have only reached the end of week one, but by the time this god awful cold has gone it will be two weeks and I will be well on my way. 

If only we could of had one of these, EACH, for our days at G.A.Y

MILK!

Got round to seeing the movie this weekend.

I'm still trying to get my head round a few things.

Without a doubt a fantastic film, even brought a tear to this hard-faced-rock.

There was just so much information and i felt a little embarrassed that i didn't know about him and all his work before this movie.

What's you thoughts my love?
