OH...THEY'RE OUT THERE!

ever since time periods have been recorded onto film...every CASPER  
fear'n space cadet and those who don't drink battery acid with their bagel have been secretly petrified of the unknown beyond the outer reaches of that delusional playground in the sky without admitt'n that they're curious as all H-E-double hockey stix if we truly are the only ones in the universe like that time HERMAN MUNSTER thought he came in contact with space creatures from another planet in the 60's

20's years later in the early 80's a cross dress'n extra annoy'n russet 
potato head with a light-up anal probe fer a pointer finger gets left behind after his buddies decided to hop into hyper drive fer last call at Ming's Hitch'n Post on the outer reaches of the planet Fridgia...only to get hopped up on reese's pieces thanx to his earthly air bnb hosts Elliot and his coke addicted heroine sister Gertie (that she would eventually kick years later so save yerself from make'n that phone call to the PC police and picket'n at yer state senators door steps) 

hollyweird has given their many takes on those tacky look'n terrestrials 
ever since then...with the most recent incarnation of these seafoam green space travelers which was forced upon me recently in the terrify'n horror movie "NOPE" that i can say on the surface...cinematographically it was quite exquisite however...the act'n was extraordinarily o.k. and i get that the premise of the film was roughly about society's obsession with tame'n wild animals and the priority of capitalism over self preservation
BUTT beyond that...

the only real horrors of this latest atrocity about life beyond our planet is...
#1...we get to see zero...let me repeat that Z-E-R-O aliens in the entire fuck'n film (oh sorry did i spoil it fer you? sue me!) and #2 that i will never get those 2 hours and 15 minutes back (thanx alot to my Cub Foods cupcake)

have'n said all that it made me think if i myself had ever had any sorta 
odd observational encounters with the ocean of emptiness known as our universe and then i recalled though it may sound out of this world...these follow'n events were very much true...the 1st time was the summer of  '89 when i was with an exceptionally distant acquaintance i once knew was a no fer me after she let one of my brothers completely back into her while she was drive'n down the road a while back when she dropped me off one even'n at my place of residency on the outer reaches of Winona, MN

we chatted about randomness in the driveway as we said our goodbyes
stare'n deeply into the summer's still nite sky...gaze'n at the twinkle'n of the stars when all of a sudden out of nowhere appeared to be a hexagonish shaped object hover'n miles above our head into the abyss of outer space that had red blink'n lights chase'n each other in unison fer what seemed like minutes was only just mere seconds before dart'n off at the speed of light towards another galaxy far far away that one would assume it looked like they could'a made the kessel run in 12 parsecs 

we both just looked at each other in amazement and decided not to call 
a town meet'n or contact the radio station cuz NO ONE would ever believe us and more than likely they'd just have us fitted in the latest fashion from the funny farm!

it would be roughly another 12 years before i would have another outer
space cadet case encounter in 02' when i woke up durin' one of my usual narcoleptic naps in the middle of the nite and noticed that my bedroom door which was ajar just a smidge as i tried adjust'n my cornea's remember'n i had always kept it wide open unless company was crash'n on my couch when i noticed what appeared to be somethin' in the form of a darker much larger than any normal eye i've ever seen in person that was peer'n back at me thru the top crack of my door which in my mind meant they have had to have been roughly least 7 feet tall

at the time i had a neighbor across from me that i would only ever 
converse to in pass'n in the hallway when the delivery man came by (and man did he ever deliver) nonetheless i was now completely awake and scared shitless cuz i thought someone had broken into my apartment without my knowledge fer the soul purpose to steal my hard to find boxed Boy George doll that i spent the last half of '96 and the better part of '97 in a bidd'n war just to get my claws on one after many many failed attempts
or my entire cd collection of MADONNA (incidentally...you can order her new 3cd and or 6 record collection here fer "FINALLY ENOUGH LOVE" contain'n 50 of her 50 #1's remixed fer her 64th bday come'n soon...

which incidentally she had decided to throw herself a roller disco party  
in Central Park in honor of her 64th birthday in NY and asked fans near and far to send her their best roller disco look that she would personally hand pick and invite to her party with a guest of course so i scoured thru my soured puss that i've plastered online over the years and came across my best holiglazed disco ball look i created last xmas...
only to have some random Shopko clearance rip-off artist desperately try and carbon copy my Neiman Marcus full priced puss though he looked more like someone's cat who had choked on some tinseled garland after gett'n in a fight with a christmas tree and he was the leftovers left over in the litter box...i suppose i should feel somewhat flattered nonetheless kitten...kitty litter cannot compete with klass! 
i'm thee unintentionally internationally unknown perform'n illusionist of my own universe...he's just a fake fendi! (**UPDATE** ps I FUCK’N WON THE CONTEST…more later…now back to the story)

i had flipped open my flip phone just to focus on my perception a bit more
by shine'n some light on the situation and noticed when i looked back at my crack between the door...that the door had slightly moved a bit so of course paralyzed in fear i freaked out even more and turned around to frantically bang on my walls to get my neighbors attention...weird thing was...as i beat on the walls with my fists the walls would shutter like splash'n a puddle of water so i tried to scream to no avail cuz it was as if some apparition had somehow shoved a gel like substance down my throat to mute my terror 

by day break all was right in my world once again and right away i jumped
outta bed like it was xmas morn'n in the middle of summer to check on my cherished belongs which were thankfully still safe and sound where i left them so at this point i cannot nor will not confirm or deny that my experience was due to a lack of sleep...a neurological reaction to some bad shrimp scampi i ate fer dinner the nite before or if i truly did have an intergalactic interaction with another entity from another universe that nite...either case i'll leave you with this plausible ponderosa

to think we are the only live'n beings in the universe is absofuckinlutely
insane regardless of yer religious affiliations...there's been more than enough proof with sight'ns written off by government officials as weather balloons or water downed buffoons over the years ever since they closed off a large portion of the Nevada desert to the public in the 1950's

believe what ya wanna believe i guess nonetheless here's a lil suggestion
to ease the troubled minds of all kinds out there near and far...how about we combine a new STUDIO 54 into AREA 51 just fer a lil intergalactic love connection?
now GET OFF MY DRESS!

As the Eyelash Curls

though live'n the life of thee unintentionally internationally unknown perform'n illusionist of the my own universe...does have it's perks...BUT...
and there always seem to be one attached to that title...it can get a lil sticky when you practice pray'n at the alter of "celebritism"

kitten…lemme break it down fer ya...

i've produced this FAB-U-LESS event in the Minne-Apple that is very much an homage to the hay days of Studio 54...at the Varsity Theater...
fer the past 4 of 6 years...well...minus all the drugs...random sex acts...
Andy...Bianca...Debbie...DIVINE...and Liza

from hunt'n and hire'n the talent...sett'n up the photo shoots...hire'n the graphic artists and collaborate'n with  the concepts...til the wee hours...
 of the morn'n til my back is broken...hire'n the videographer...film'n the backdrop videos...write'n scripts fer sketches...design'n my one of a kind outfits...and hire'n the dressmaker to execute it to perfection...fly'n around town on the wings of my maxi pad blow-about post'n posters and place'n fliers in every nook and cranny imaginable on my dime...remind'n the troops of rehearsals...and gett'n to the show on time...
it's ALOTTA fuck'n work...fer the chicken feed compensation i get...but i stick with it fer the complete rush i get from the stage...though it can ugly at the drop of an eyelash...i want it to look like a sensation...cuz it is a genius concept! 

hosted by my good friend and sorta suedo sister...
BITCH FLOWERS

include'n other fab-u-less staples like ME...
thee unintentionally internationally unknown perform'n illusionist of my own universe KRYSTAL KLEER
the boss of burlesque FOXY TANN...
with past performances by...
international sensation SHERRY VINE...KEVIN AVIANCE...CAMILLE COLLINS...BARBIE Q...VICTORIA DEVILLE...MRS. SMITH...SOLE2SOUL DANCERS...with sing'n sensation HARLEY WOOD...
along with spinn'n sensations of DJ's LORI BARBERO...LINDSAY SHIEK...JAKE RUDH...and RICO

we would get every walk of life from the str8's...gay's...bi's...tri's...
tranny's and granny's...from the young and old and the "i give up"
it's the party not to be missed...as it welcomes spring back to the
Minne-Apple
after a long cold hard winter

i knew by year 7...it hadda be HUGE...YES!...i'll admit it...
i'm a size queen!...i don't don't party favors 

so one even'n as i was toss'n idea's in my head...
after toss'n up dinner to the porcelain gods...i sped down the informational highway fer who i thought would be the perfect present fer BITCH's 150th barfday bash to keep her from end'n up in some pile of merlot vomit on the floor before the nite ended...and would also entertain the crowd

hmmm who could fill these shoes?...then it smacked me upside the head...
much like Joan did when i was a kid...

so after spend'n 4 months hunt'n down his mgr...
along the informational highway...it was off  to meet in Oprahville durin' his DJ tour

after being on pins and needles all day one sunday afternoon in Oprahville and not hear’n a peep from Boy's mgr...i thought it was in the tank (as much as i was from the nite before)…the venue was confuse'n on the FB page...then it said it opened at 9 so we got there about 8:30…only to find out at the door it says the club didn’t open til 10…needless to say…
we weren't happy campers since it was sprinkly out…and we all fergot our weather proof bonnets

so we hunted down 3 different bars fer nibbley’s…first one…the kitchen closed 5 minutes before we got there…the 2nd nibbley joint we found...
had some sorta chalk artwork outside of it…but the 3rd one was just about almost right…til i seen the drink and nibbley menu…you hadda basically remove an organ to eat there…so i just had a tic tac and a glass of
“just get my to the damn show already”...
seriously…it started to feel like i was in some bad after school special...twisted tale of
Goldie Frick’n Locks and the 3 restaurants from H-E-double hockey stix!

we FINALLY made it back to the venue…only to be greeted by a rope and more sprinkles…and now it’s AFTER 10 f*ck’n o’clock…
the bouncers were act'n like M-A-D-O-N-N-A was inside or somethin'

well ok...BOY does have the same perennial effect on me (and i don’t even know what that means...it just popped in my noggin) but i was seriously wish’n a huge bathtub of calgon bubbles were right around the corner!
15 minutes AFTER 10 they FINALLY let the crowd in…my heart was pound'n like the natives on Kong island...it felt like i’d gone thru some sorta time warp as i walked thru the entrance…and was dance’n around in my bedroom use’n the vacuum hose as a...ummm...microphone...yea that's it!

of course i darted straight fer the merch table to get some over priced crap that’ll fall apart in the laundry no doubt after a washing or 2…and end up at the bottom of my tee shirt graveyard...but at least i knew that i'd wasted money on somethin’ i'd really appreciate fer the next 30 minutes...
the merch man...who i'd met years ago at other gigs…was lick’n his fingers clean from the KFC coffin in front of him…and was doin his best sales pitch tell'n me to get a tee cuz they’d ALL be sold out before he [BOY] goes on
ummm…do you know who I AM by chance?
i am THEE UNINTENTIONALLY INTERNATIONALLY UNKNOWN PERFORM’N ILLUSIONIST OF MY OWN UNIVERSE…i cannot be pressured into purchase’n at this moment (but if i do…do i get the UNINTENTIONALLY INTERNATIONALLY UNKNOWN PERFORM’N ILLUSIONIST OF MY OWN UNIVERSE discount?)

i told him i was here to meet with Marc Vedo about hire’n BOY GEORGE to spin at MY EVENT (yes i said it…who cares...it may be Bitch's name on the marquee as she so dementedly reminds me every year...but it isn't a show without me grease'n the wheels to make it run just right) and merch man points to the poster on the wall and says to look fer Marc in the crowd...
SERIOUSLY!...ummm i don’t “LOOK”…i am LOOKED AT!...(apparently he don’t speak this queen’s english) so i figered...ok this is how they do their meet’ns (and not in some board room with crisp white linen fertaise sheets and over priced imported toilet water)
well from the 3 choices of tee’s…i wanted 2 1/2 of them but i wasn’t about to sell my unborn niece’s baby into slavery to pay fer them…and fergett’n they NEVER take plastic at the merch table…i hadda hack up a lung at the ATM…and broke down and bought one (since it was the last medium of all there tee’s)…apparently the hefty hide-away stampede never happened like they thought when they placed there tee order…seriously…the GIGANTOR sized tee’s could’ve sheltered a mongolian family of 4

so the 1st  DJ who was play’n (which wasn’t even mentioned in the add)…was ok...but really?...a DJ to OPEN fer a DJ to open fer THEE DJ of the nite? that’s like gett’n a fluffer before the paid prostitute...it don’t make sense to me!...but whatevs i guess

we...mean'n me...figered…buy a cocktail to calm down…and i thought that would do the trick…i mean...this was the 1st time i would EVER be try'n to hire the person on the poster that adorned so many walls thru-out my 
teenage angst years and beyond... thing was...one cocktail was half the price of admission into the damn club (which…to be honest…looked like yer flashy and charm'n but typical shit box club…with a couple of disco balls and P.Diddy’s bodyguards as door checkers)

the bathroom was nicer than the entire bar…they had an “attendant”...
but let’s be honest and call it what it really was…a fluffer with a 401k plan…(and i’m sorry)…but who in their right mind is gonna take a #2 without NO walls or door to deflected the musical gruntage? i’m just say’n…the designer obviously was a perv!

by 11:30ish Marc had FINALLY gone on…but seriously…techno music without words…is like a hooker without a std…am i right?
12:00…12:30…12:35…12:45…1:00 am…1:30…1:45…ARE YOU F*CK’N KIDD’N ME?...i may have felt like a tweeked out teenager walk’n into the venue…but i was up since 5 am…by now i was turn'n into a tyrannosaurus toad!

as my group of stalkers friends i was with…jumped ship one by one…until i was stand’n there alone (except fer the huge crowd around me) i was ready to turn into a pissed off pumpkin myself…then all of a sudden…as i was face’n the door and contemplate’n how much it would really hurt to jump in front of a bus…the sea of hands in front of me did a double zeig hiel Hitler while they stared up into the 2nd floor like it was a total eclipse
as i turned around...i seen this huge puff of fog under flash’n bulbs…a beard and a skyscraper top hat…it was BOY F*CK’N GEORGE!

well at least that’s what the announcer said…but fer all i know…it could’a been my uncle Vern in eyeliner…look’n like some tranny talibanner with a top hat…but i just took them fer their word it was in fact BOY GEORGE!
Marc finally had walked down thru the crowd…and HELLO!...he totally was gravey on my mashed potatoes look'n...and so i wouldn't be some star struck fucktard…i waited til i had an open’n to chat…and it went a lil somethin' like this :

Me: hey Marc it’s Mattress Fever from Minneapolis…i spoke with Emily in London about hire’n George to spin at my event next april in Minneapolis and she told me to contact you here
Marc: oh riiigh…oiee blimy mate…nice to finally meet’cha…yea i don’t know enaethang ‘bout the fee bu i think it’s guud…talk to me wifey about all that but I think it’s a go though
Me: ok cool

we shook hands...he smiled and walked away and that was it! 

REALLY?!?duuur!...wai’da’ minute!...so do i have BOY?

i didn’t wanna read anything more into than what Marc said so now i guess i’d have to email his wife and get the ball roll’n…roll’n…roll’n down the Mississippi river

float'n on cloud 9...i decided to go back to the crowd and dance like it was
1984 all over again…i ended up meet'n this fa-bu psychotically war painted party monster blimp JoJo Baby and this fa-bu perform'n illusionist Sissy Spastik in a full body condom adorned with mirror bits and silver garland heels and as thin as a rake
  (i hated the bitch fer look’n so sick and able to pull it off so effortlessly)
  it was like look’n into a 18 year old mirror of myself
we danced…gotta photographed to H-E-double hockey stix…met some guy (why not!) that clung to me like flies on hot shit all nite (I mean who wouldn’t right? Don’t answer that!)…who wanted me to go back to his hotel by the airport…then tells me he’s been “married fer 15 years” and N-E-V-E-R cheated on his bf…but he would with me…cuz that's...oh what's the word i'm look'n fer...O-R-I-G-I-N-A-L!
UMMMM TAXI!

wait'n til the wee hours of bar close as dawn barely begun open her eye…i realized…i’m no longer the 20 year old energizer bunny i once was…i had pretty much been up fer a full 24 hrs…just to hopefully hire and get a pick with the Boy...but no such luck (with the pic anyways)…and seriously i didn’t wanna go into total batshit breakdown f*cktard mode…like some do when in the presence of an international icon!

so i gave my proverbial hug to my non existence present failure and hopped a cab…and as i turned around look’n back as my good look’n failure faded into the misty nite club of the nite…i remembered one thing…YOU IDIOT!...you never gave him yer number in case he gets back home to Milwaukee and finds his bf is hacked to pieces or somethin’ and needs console’n!!

by the time i had arrived back home and into work the next day...it was endless emails back and forth from london to new york...one after another...almost certain that i was ready to cross off one of the many things on my bucket list...then  it FINALLY happened!
BOY had released his brilliantly penned solo album "this is what i do" of original hits after 18 years...finished with his DJ obligations and miniature tour in england...
then announced he and the the original CULTURE CLUB members were goin back into the studio fer a new album in early 2014

i was beyond over the moon of this news...but i also knew...
that this was not good news...FER ME!...so i didn't get BOY at my party this time around!...EH!...what'dya do but line up the next best things...which i did...but it's TOP SECRET til the new year...even better though was hear'n that all the band members were gett'n back to do what they do best...it's music to my ears and well worth the slight disappointment...so if BOY is out there gett'n this read to him...and i trust he is...
T-H-A-N-K-Y-O-U!...T-H-A-N-K-Y-O-U!...T-H-A-N-K-Y-O-U!
we will meet once again!

now get off my dress!
