why do the good girls always like the bad boys?

My on again off again is most certainly on again...

So why do we choose the boys that are naughty?
I don't fit in so why do you want me?
And I know I can't tame you...but I just keep trying

-No Doubt

Yeah, well even though Gwen is a mastermind, she clearly was smart enough to realize that its best to respect yourself over some mofo that doesn't respect you. How many times must a person return to a bad boy until he's totally destroyed?

They only want u when ur 17, when ur 21 ur no fun

So the other day I got asked out by the sexiest guy ever, he was charming, funny, and..... 17.

*BOMB DROPS*

He asks me "Does my age bother you?"...hmmm time freezes as I ponder the question in my mind...I remember being 16/17 and asking my 20 something *ahem* sometimes 30 something beaus the same thing.

It's only been four years right?

I pull the skin back on my face looking for eye wrinkles....hmm "maybe I should stop tanning" I say to myself...Am I really at that age where someone says "does my age bother you?"...or am I having a 1/4 life crisis?!

In other news I'm getting my wisdom teeth in and retirement home hunting as we speak.

Ladies and Gents I just might be over the twink hill.

Sharon's missing Q's!

When I did Sharon McNights I was prepared for such heartwrenching insight on AIDS in the 80's. I took out these questions so that the reader would be able to concentrate on the power of Sharon's message. Read the full interview here at:

(JB) You've won countless awards for you performances even a Tony nomination, but in your eyes what's you greatest accomplishment to date?

(SM) The greatest day of my life was the day I quit smoking. I put that at the end of every bio I send out, it is the last sentence in every program I am in. I want to tell people “You can do it!"

(JB) Whose been your favorite person to ever perform with?

(SM) I got drunk with Eartha Kitt one time, but she’s not my favorite person. That’s a tough question for a solo act. I just like to work and my favorite place to work is anywhere the check don’t bounce.

(JB) Are you a fan of Chicago?

(SM) I love Chicago. I’ve got some great friends in the leather community. I did IML’s 25th Anniversary and if it weren’t for the smoking in the bars, you’d find me on a stool at Touches’. I’ve spent a Thanksgiving and a Christmas in Chicago over the last two years so there’s “family” here. I know more than a few Chicago “Bears”.

(JB) You reside in Las Vegas, dubbed sin city, do you think your home gets a bad rap?

(KW) Not really, I think the tourist marketing companies try to make Vegas into more of a scandalous place than it is, to lure in more tourists You can find booze, hookers and gambling anywhere now. Vegas has a great pool of music, dancers, etc... but I have had a lot of fun here without too much drama.

(JB) You’ve had a long successful career, which spans a decade, but what do you feel is your biggest accomplishment to date?

(KW) Surviving Leukemia, and being able to keep my two children grounded and secure in a volatile world.

(JB) What inspires you to reinvent your look for each video and cd you do?

(KW) It takes a lot of creative energy to re-invent yourself. You have to keep your fans interested and looking forward to something new.

(JB) Who’s your favorite person you’ve collaborated with?

(KW) As a singer, I would say Patti Labelle, we made a lot of great memories recording "Land of the Living". I also really enjoyed working with Peter Ries, a German producer. We wrote songs together for the Stronger album, and we had the best time. I think you can hear it in the music, especially "Clubland"
