CRACKVILLE CHAOS pt 3

it's been a long ass week now that i'm a work'n gurl back in the type'n pool
so i can't be bothered on educate'n you with the low expectations you've come to deserve so if you need a lil refresher course on what the H-E-double hockey stix is goin on with this mess of a story...click here fer pt 1 and click here fer pt 2 and now (you guessed it kittens) pt 3...give yerself a pat of the back and nibble on a nilla wafer if no one helped you out on that one (cuz as sure as shit on shingle) i ain't hold'n yer hand thru it all over again...kapeesh!

a few months would go by until i would finally have my judgemental judy
day in court...which was all such a new concept fer me since i was now the derelict defendant (when i was used to play'n the pretty plaintiff in my E true hollyweird story like i did back in the late 80's) so of course i hadda ask fer outside council with me bein thee unintentionally internationally unknown perform'n illusionist of my own universe and all it would hurt my head too much try'n to figer it out on my own...i would have absolutely zero clue as to what should i expect? what should i say? what sorta cocktails were they gonna serve with the complimentary buffet that i assumed would be there since it was in the afternoon after all and most importantly what should i wear? 

my all time fav-o-rit french designer Jean Paul Gaultier...who i almost had
the opportunity to model for back in '91 when i went to some cattle call the week before Jeffery Dahmer was busted fer munch'n on mo's marinate'n in marmalade in Milwaukee...
well any who'zll'ding...JEAN PAUL had some really tasteful silhouettes...fancy fringes and beautiful braid work done that season but would i be give'n the red carpet treatment as a legitimate litigant if i upstaged the jury or Judy?

the nite before all the hoopla over my non murderous court case would 
begin...i had decided to stay over at some unmentionable's house whom i was involved with at the time (cuz i was too lazy to commit suicide...umm insert laugh here) to calm my nerves before my big day and so of course he took it upon himself late in the nite to use me as his personal tickle me elmo doll...of which i 100% loathe (trust me) i'm like a piranha outta water if you try and tickle me cuz yer probably gonna get a boot in yer ass just so i can breathe...well finally after minutes of plead'n with him to stop...i finagled my legs underneath his chest... 
and projectiled him clear across the room like one would when taste'n gefilte fish spread on a peppercorn triscuit fer the first time when you clearly asked fer the olive tapenade...however...unfortunately fer me (in the process) my unsuitable suitor scraped his sasquatch elbow across my almond shaped eyes and by the time i had composed myself and took a breath...my left one was throbb'n (unlike the other portions of my nether regions that should'a been that nite) so i went into the bathroom to rinse of anything that may have gotten into my eyes durin' the scuffle...threw on my winter muumuu and marched out the front door back to my bed on the corner of crackville avenue and hooker junction

as dawn would break i scraped my A double snakes outta bed...my face 
had felt like it had been run over by a steamroller in the nite and as i switched on the bathroom lite to jump in the shower...i took a quick peek in the mirror and noticed that apparently my left eye had tried to use its socket as an escape hatch in the middle of the nite as it was considerably larger than his twin on the right....i looked like a fuck'n cartoon character watch'n an anvil fall out of the sky 
so i pillaged thru my pile of muumuus in the closet look'n for my emergency headgear but someone apparently stole it from me and cutt'n 2 holes in my egyptian 1000 count threaded cream colored bed sheets was not gonna be an option anytime soon so luckily my roommate at the time had an eye patch i could slip on

only problem was i looked like PETE BURNS with alopecia issues from
 80's super pop euro dance group DEAD OR ALIVE and felt like i was spinn'n around like an anxious record in the courtroom await'n fer my judgemental judy moment which inadvertently worked to my advantage i guess cuz once my case was called...turns out that the hot cop had lied to the courts say'n he breathalyzed me at the scene and not the station (MN laws anyways) and i was let go on a $50 fine instead of the $1000 to $3000 fine i had heard i was look'n at gett'n
though i was warned under no circumstances could i drive my vehicle fer the next 6 months cuz just one simple infraction and i was gonna be thrown in the clink fer 90 days to think about my actions

on top of that mess...i swore the lady i had to report to fer AA classes that 
very afternoon was already 3 sheets to the wind herself when i came into her office...she had started the conversation all casual like with me to make me feel at ease then asked me how many drinks i had per day...which at the time was 5 bottles of diet elephant piss (Miller lite) at max (on any given weekend only) she slurred to me and said "eh...yer not a real alcoholic then!" and she signed off on my order that i didn't have to step one foot into that sad sapped sobriety sorority again
BUTT that ain't all...

a few days later i would see an eye surgeon to have an operation on my
damaged eye (since the eyedrops i was o.d'n on weren't of any help) turns out i caught an infection from my tickler terrorist when he scraped my eyelids...which my left eyelid had flipped over via his arm and some of the sweat trickled off his chewbacca like hair follicles which had sliced open the inner part of my eyelid (purely accidental i would agree) nonetheless...cause'n me great discomfort so the doctor sliced open the underbelly of  my damaged eyelid...washed it out with some citric acid i swore and sent me home with roughly 20 days of antibiotics and a $600 bill since i was uninsured at the time (yay fer me!)

the first morn'n when i awoke to take my antibiotic pill with some hotdog 
soup (which consisted of cook'n a package of hotdogs just to drink the juice) which i learned this most precisely precious delicacy from the late great petite flower...giver goddess...aphrodite of the accordion...fashion-plate saint...queen of candy pants...princess of panty shields...empress of elvis impersonators and the buffer of bunions Miss JUDY TENUTA

turns out though i was allergic to the fuck'n shit so instead of choke'n down
 another pill my roomie let me pay my rent with the remain'n pills that month which was fine with me and i tracked down the tickle terrorist and told him he owed me at least half of bill...which to be perfectly honest...in a perfect world he would'a just paid it all outta his own damn pocket since he caused this predicament in the first place...so of course he took my request fer half of the bill as some sorta shake down since he had just sold his house and never ponied up a penny to me so i never got a new set of antibiotics which unfortunately had me stuck with the fuck'n scar that i have to cover up everyday to this very day so i don't have to deal with morons ask'n me on the daily what's wrong with my eye 
though many years and many failed nutri systems later...the tickler tried to slither his way back into my life one nite at the bar to which i completely ignored

i would only make it a full month before i was tempted to turn the keys
to my car and meet my aunt Ellen in uptown fer some nibbleys and nonsensical cocktails...however...i was in no mood to deal with a 2 bus transfer at the time so i figered i'd take all the side streets and be in and out in under an hour at max...only prob was i would only make it one block thru the alley of my roomies residence before i was spotted by a set of christmas lights...
and leave it to some Roscoe P. Coltrane to scold me with the riot act without even hear'n my reasonings as to why i so desperately needed my vehicle at that very moment...instead he just told me how i was goin to be sleep'n on cement fer the next 90 days with my stupid choice

luckily fer me though fer some reason he gave me a get outta jail free card
if i could get someone to pick up my car at that very moment (cuz he either didn't wanna do the paper work or perhaps wanted to get with the unintentionally internationally unknown perform'n illusionist of my own universe on a later date...who knows) luckily my roomie was home and Roscoe made me do the walk of shame back up the alley to my place and with the hands of judgement warned me he didn't wanna see me on the streets fer the next 60 days or it wouldn't be so good fer me next time...to which i whole heartedly agreed...
life is a mystery...everyone must stand alone...Lourdes-Marie-Veronica-Ciccone-Leon and all that shit...who cares i was saved!

though most of the residents live'n on the corner of crackville avenue and
hooker junction i had no issues with per se...there was one residential rodent in particular who had some sorta elephantitus of the right leg (it was extremely larger than the left...call it what you want) that lived directly across the street from me (where my roommate would buy his drugs from on occasion...hey i don't judge...it's yer life do what ya want!) that i would see perched on the 2nd floor porch every day i would get off the bus from work and he would never say a word to me...just simple eye contact as i passed by until i got in my roomies house...it felt cringey and definitely creepy at first but eventually i figered he was just act'n as my own personal security guard and i left it alone

finally the day would come where it was my 59th day in non mobile hell
and my box of franzia friend Sallie Mae Day Hat offered to pay me a chunk of change to come pick her up at her home in Brooklyn Park roughly 20 minutes away and go down town to celebrate have'n the shackles of my self imposed torturous life removed from my portfolio...only problem was...i still had 6 more hours to go...however...don't ever tell me the odds...cuz odds are i will do the complete opposite which of course i did that nite

we made it downtown in once piece without incident and after an hour
or so of lift'n my spirits with some spicy spirits...i decided to leave Sallie on her own accord and once again took to the back roads and byways back home...unfortunately just when i thought i was in the clear with only 1 block away from my live'n quarters...i once again was see'n christmas lights in my read view mirror and it was only 20 minutes before midnite

as this Roscoe had me pull over to the side then ran my plates...he came  
back with that judgmental puss on his face and i knew right then and there that i would not be gett'n another get outta jail free card...so as i was ready to receive my complimentary pat down before bein' escorted back to jail fer the next 90 days...Roscoe received a call on his cb regard'n shots fired somewhere else apparently and told me "dude you don't know how lucky you are right now...leave yer car right here and pick it up in the morn'n and don't be stupid fer the next 20 minutes" and once again...
life is a mystery...everyone must stand alone...Lourdes-Marie-Veronica-Ciccone-Leon and all that shit...i was saved!

4 years would pass and i decided it was time fer me to move on from the 
corner of crackville avenue and hooker junction that i'd become so accustomed to and back to civilization in uptown to which i did...though remember my security guard across the street from me from 4 years earlier with elephantitus of the leg? well kittens...literally 2 days before i would depart as i was gett'n off the bus and passed him on my route as usual...he finally opened his mouth and let out a murmur like he'd been gargle'n on lighter fluid fer his entire life and simply said "F-A-G-G-O-T!"

i decided not to play into his imbecile hands and just kept on walk'n home
and by morn'n i told my roommate about the incident over a steam'n cup of Sanka about the perched guy on the 2nd floor balcony from the nite before to which he informed me that the guy had died last nite...hmmm...i stopped fer a minute to process it all in but all i could muster up to say was "well...he shouldn't have called me faggot then i guess!" and i left to work...2 days later i had moved out!

ps Sallie May Day Hat wants me to mention about the one time i was a bit
tuned up on one of our many spirited nites out and he was stay'n over at my roommates house fer the nite however decided to lock me outta my rental like a drunk mental (which was no big surprise when she's tuned up) minutes later i seen him puff'n his marlboro lights on the 2nd floor balcony so i called his cell to fer him to let me in...he asked where i was call'n him from...i said "oh geez Sallie...look to yer left...i'm in the fuck'n tree" i had climbed up the birch tree on the side of the house to the 2nd floor 
and trust me when i say...she was not named Luka nor was she live'n on my 2nd floor so he yelled "oh my god yer fuck'n crazy...go home Sallie May!" (that's our nicknames fer each other in case yer lost) and he went inside lock'n the porch behind her (even though i already was home) so i broke a branch off the tree and jimmied the lock open thru the cat door...the end!
now GET OFF MY DRESS!

WALK OF FAME pt.1

bein the unintentionally internationally unknown perform'n illusionist of my
own universe was not all that it was cracked up to be...behind all the shiny glitter...the worshipped glamour and the fleet'n fame was a ferious ferry who wanted to bury you if you posted an unflatter'n photo in a compromise'n position without my permission...i mean...you try staple'n yer throat plunger to yer back while simultaneously cradle'n yer loaded Lenny & Squiggy's in yer pelvic walls fer a minimum of 5 hours while bein yanked left and right by fanatically crazed stalkers begg'n fer a mere moment of yer attention just so they can marinate in how many "likes" they get on social media over their post with you attached to it

yes...celebs like myself (no matter how low on the celebuscale we are)
deal with madness from time to time...like that time when VERA met TELLY SAVALAS in Mel's Diner and was completely smacked upside the head star struck...listen kitten...i totally get the rush you get meet'n someone you've always admired in the spotlight...i still remember the rush i got when some common person personally asked me fer my autograph at 27 fer the first time backstage at this AIDS charity event i was perform'n at...and trust me...i know i'm at the bottom of the celebuscale...but compared to you read'n me week after week after all these years...you can ask anyone that's been lucky enough to cum into my sanctuary...I'M TOTALLY THE TOP...and they know it!

everyone thinks that the spotlight is where it's at...but trust me...it ain't that
easy bein cheeky all the time...no matter how much yer paid to play the fame game...you loose yer freedom...you loose yer anonimity...you loose yer fuck'n marbles unfortunately at some point like everyone else who has to turn around and make the sacrificial meatloaf to the porcelian gods from time to time!

it's well documented in this blog over the years about my all-time personal
run-in's with my fav-o-rit personality of ALL time...the beyond brilliance of britian's own BOY GEORGE
BUTT...there's more to come

i can recall the very 1st time that i had gotten close enough to comsume
the air of one of my fav-or-its when i greyhounded my A-double snakes to visit the AIDS quilt at the Metrodome in the Minne-Apple in 1988...as i walked around observe'n the quilt patterns by those who had left us much too soon when it was a death sentence...i stumbled across the block of the flambouyant pianist LIBERACE...i heard the woman stand'n next to me say "it's so sad how many have died so soon". (and that is a direct quote) as i looked up...i was speechless...cuz it was none other than actress and one of soap opera's sweethearts who played dual roles as half sisters Frannie and Sabrina Hughes on "AS THE WORLD TURNS" by the yet barely unknown JULIANNE MOORE...the frenzied fame whore in me wanted a picture with her...but this was not the time nor the place to pull out my discrete kodamatic camera and intrude...i knew all about celebuboundaries back then thanx to Phil Donahue

a couple years later i would move to St Paul in the steamy summer of  '90
and 2 years after move'n to the Minne-Apple 3 months in...i would see my very 1st comedy performance by the love goddess...petite flower...aphrodite of the accordian...fashion-plate saint...queen of candy-pants...princess of panty shields...and empress of elvis impersonators JUDY TENUTA...well...i was crammed in the back of the ACME comedy club in St Paul and did my damndest to get her attention cuz i knew she was gonna call 2 members from the audience to join her on stage durin' her act (since i had already seen this act months early on Comedy Central) scream'n like a hooker in heat...i attracked her attention finally and was sent march'n up on stage...once there...JUDY herself was left awe struck and blown away by my 70's motif (some could say she was actually speechless) none the less she was a gracious goddess to me

i have always been in touch with the dark side...of course that includes
myself...so it's no surprise i was over the moon when my BFF Peetrinella decided to play cabbie one october nite in 1994 and drove me and a car full of fagula's to a haunted hayride in some ungodly suburb to meet the one and only MISTRESS OF THE DARK ELVIRA...she was even beyond more stunn'n in person than her tv personality...of course leave it to the toothless inbred truck'n fuckers in front of us oogle'n over her ample assests and blurt'n out "look'it her tits man!" (insert vomit here) 
i had dolled up like Alex from a "CLOCKWORK ORANGE" and i could tell ELVIRA was completely over the comments from the slack-jawed yocals but was completely shocked by my apperance once i made it in front of her...she even commented on my look and how gorgeous i looked and by the time we had finished our drunk'n hayride...i told Peetrinella that i wanted to get one more autograph from ELVIRA so we made our way back to her trailer but this practically 10ft steroided behemoth came out of her trailer inform'n us Miss ELVIRA was done with the meet & greets fer the nite...so i told him to let ELVIRA know it's MATTRESS...but we were all turned away...less than 30 seconds later...the door flung open and the golly green giant said "MATTRESS...Miss ELVIRA would like to see only you!" Peetrinella and the fagula's hated me as i made them wait outside in the cold while i had my own personal one on one with ELVIRA in her trailer...again she reiterated to me how she loved my look and said she can't make any promises but she wrote her hollywood addy on the back of another glamour shot of her (that she gave to me fer free) and said to send her an 8x10 profesh head shot of myself to her and she would give it to her agent

as much as anyone loves to brag about their run-in's with celebutants
i had one specific celebutant...maybe you'be heard of her...ELLEN BARKIN...who happened to be work'n out at the gym i was a manager at...at the time...on her break from film'n the drop dead hysterical "DROP DEAD GORGEOUS" about MN beauty pagents...and she told me that someone had broken into her locker and stole everything outta it...i hadda $100 budget so i let her get a top and bottom that i would write off so she wouldn't be marinate'n in her sweaty gym gear back to the set (though to be quiet honest...at the time i thought "wait a minute...yer Ellen Barkin...you could probably own my sportshop...along with me...yer just fish'n me fer freebies") EH...oh well!

a couple years later...i would be work'n in uptown at LAVA LOUNGE
and in comes none other than STEEL MAGNOLIA's hair hopp'n bible beater DARRYL HANNAH who happened to be in town film'n some movie apparently and popped in to buy some roll'n papers...now i ain't say'n she has a drug issue...cuz she was super sweet...i'm just say'n i wished the fuck i had my kodak ektralite on me so i could'a snapped a couple of pix and sold em with the backstory to the national enquirer fer a small boat load of benjamins (hey...i was desperate that year)

by the middle 90's...after perform'n fer the 1st time on stage at the 90's
i was plucked from the 2ftx2ft box i was dance'n on outside of LAVA LOUNGE and asked to dance in some music video in my disco devil club boy look...that to this day i still ain't got a fuck'n clue who it was for...but i was paid $50 fer 15 minutes of work and knew i was on my way and almost a year later i would be perform'n in my 1st feature length film "HOMO HEIGHTS" starr'n the late great QUENTIN CRISP and CAROL CHANNING and OITNB lezbitronic funny gal LEA DELARIA...though my line got cut in the final cut...i'm still noticeable in the open'n sequence as the same dolled up disco devil club boy...though i only got a quick "hi" as QUENTIN walked past me in film'n at the Metro club in St Paul...LEA was a complete sweetheart by buy'n ice cream fer all the dancers in the club scene fer the 3 days of film'n cuz it was humid as hell cruel summer that year

the follow'n year i would get a taste of the small screen on daytime tv
starr'n on "THE JENNY JONES SHOW" though i applied to the ad state'n "were you shy and quiet as a kid and now that your all grown up your a drag queen? if so...give us a call" after my 15 minute phone interview...9 months later i was flown to Oprahville only to find out the title of the show was now called "you're too freaky to be famous" and though i thought i was gonna be on the show talk'n about my performances back home...JENNY told the audience as i watched on the monitor backstage before my entrance "next up is MATTRESS who says he's a bigger supermodel than Cindy Cawford" WTF??? it was completely a bait and switch scenario...and to add insult to injury...
JIM J BULLOCK of  "TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT" fame was gonna judge me (i don't think so Mary) along with another local radio personality...well...turns out JIM was a gentleman...and even tired pick'n me up backstage after the tape'n...but i knew meet'n him on the cast'n couch in some seedy motel in some po-dunk town wasn't gonna do a damn thing to further my career more than his desperation

if you love that downtown sarcasstic yet politically poingant humorous 
stories accompanied by a pair of mile high legs and a tune or two like i do...i wouldn't expect anyting less than sheer unsalted pleasure when i had the chance encounter with long legged bad ass beauty SANDRA BERNHARD in downtown Minne-Apple after one of her many performances that i made sure never to miss when she came to town 
since i used to perform segments of her brilliant one woman show "WITHOUT YOU I'M NOTHING" in my own act...so after one specific performance as the audience exited the entrance...i decided this was my moment to finally get the nerve to just pop backstage as if i were part of the silly lil clean up crew...and to my surprise i had bumped into SANDRA before she popped into the ladies loo...simply ask'n her fer a quick snap on my new motorola flip phone...to which SANDRA simply replied "WHY NOT!" and that lil commment has stuck with me ever since

the next time i would find myself meander'n the streets of the BIG APPLE
was in 2003 and i would be see'n the premiere of the brilliant BOY GEORGE musical "TABOO" on broadway that i was lucky enough to see the year prior in London's West End...as i waited patiently in the lobby suck'n on my overpriced cocktail with the other non judgemental theater goers with what i was wear'n...the lobby doors flung open...and in walked the money backer of this gloriously colorful production about the rise and fall of one of the 80's biggest pop staples...ROSIE O'DONNELL...without any hesitation as if we'd known each other fer years...i simply went up to her and asked if we could have a photo together...she obliged my request and i pulled out my instamatic throw-away (hey...it was before i owned a cell phone with camera functions so don't gimme any grief) that she had given to her assistant at the time and told me she hoped i enjoy the show...simple...to the point and no blubber'n breakdown or security call was needed

and last...at the very least...in the past 10 years i've either worked with
and or met...some of the most actual profesh and "ICONIC" performers in the biz...from JACKIE BEAT...SHERRY VINE...LADY BUNNY...COCO PERU and of course everyone's fav-o-rit hysterical hemmoroid that keeps popp'n up when you least expect it BIANCA DEL RIO

so there ya have it...my list of shoulder rubbers...i'm sure you've had yer  
share yerself...but that means nothing to me unfortunately...just tune in next week fer pt2  "WALK OF FAME" (singers edition)
