Catering for a Queen

The Bravo television network has a show which features a caterer extrodinare called Chef Roble and Co. Season two-episode two was called "Too Hot to Handle"

I was already a fan of Roble's because of the catering background I had during my food service days but this show was extra fun.

Roble catered for the queen  B.Scott the androgynous Internet celebrity,  (right) who among other things wanted androgynous food.

I'm not going to spoil the show for you except to say the event was over the top! (Of course it was!)

For a look, go here.

I'm Married to a...

The vh1 series "I'm married to a..." has scored another must view for our transgender community. Not too long ago we saw Jessica of Jessica Who blog fame and her wife courageously present a very enlightening look at a crossdresser and his wife coming out of the closet. Now a new episode features a new Jessica and Scott, who happens to be a transgender man. Highlights as I saw them, included Scott's dialogue on being a person who happens to be trans not a transgender person first and foremost. Of equal importance was Jessica's religious and church background. This show is yet another look into our culture from the eyes of  real people who have something to say.

Tu cara me suena

Another cross dressing entertainer from "Tu Cara" on the Cyrsti's Condo big screen:

Your Roll of Toilet Paper

A respected philosopher who was not "Randy Macho Man Savage" once was quoted as saying: "Life is like a roll of toilet paper (TP), the closer it comes to the end, the faster it goes. Lately the significance of that wise quote has not been lost on me.

I can get into sooooo many lines here such as can we bring two rolls for a shitty life? But I won't.

Any way you cut it, life is a game of your best plans turning to doo-doo and those pesky unplanned adventures threatening to do the same. But hey, no one ever said life would be fair or you can have extra TP. The best you can hope for is the girl in the next stall over sliding some under the partition.

As I approach 63, I do consider the so called winter of my life and most importantly-can I take any TP with me to the other side? Will I need it? Can you take it with you? If I find out, I will get back to you on that. I mean hey,  whats' more important the existence of an afterlife or TP to handle it?

If by this time you are thinking Cyrsti didn't really have anything to write about- that's not true.

I was going to get into earth shattering problems of why all of the sudden stylish clip earrings show up after I got my ears pierced or just why did  Lana Turner look so damn good in the original version of "The Postman Rings Twice". (above)

I'm leaving it to you to decide because my mind is worn out from all this heavy duty philosophizing..

See you later, I'm headed to the rest room to steal more quotes off the wall!

Cyrsti's Condo Quote of the Day

 " If a person thinks you have to have a penis to be a real man or a vagina to be a real woman, does that make them a real ass-hole?"  Guess who?

Just Own It!

Two rules on "going over the top". If you are going to do it, own it and once you get over the top never look back.  Here's an example on the Cyrsti's Condo big screen:

Womanless Beauty Reality

Several years ago there was an all so brief reality show called "He's a Lady". The winning contestant received 250,000 dollars and supposedly had no idea of what they were getting them selves into. As we chat about here in Cyrsti's Condo and elsewhere, rather or not they admit it, many guys in womanless beauty pageants do know what they are getting themselves into. This show was no different. I'm passing along one of the first episodes from YouTube and all is really sort of mundane until we get to Albert/Alberta about 6 minutes or so into the video. When they let him see himself in the mirror, he showed absolutely no surprise that he was gorgeous-none. I'm thinking Albert had seen Alberta before.  You have to wait for the other beauty and make your decision at the end:

Correction

Please note a correction in a past post Transgender and Political  from November 8, 2012. It concerned Sarah McBride at American University who had stepped down as student government president. I gave the wrong impression she resigned when in fact her term was over.

Sorry Sarah and thanks for the correction!
