Mi Vida Loca

Through no fault of my own, I'm witnessing a knee suspension this evening. Don't ask. I'm thinking of wearing seersucker culottes and bringing my Chicken Florentine casserole. Yes?

Friday Fabü

This swanky, May 26 shindig at Hotel Parq Central (806 Central SE, 505.242.0040) promises to be one of the year’s top chichi events. Bon Fete Fashion for Paws, a silent auction and fashion show benefiting Animal Humane Association of New Mexico, is the brainchild of makeup artist Ashlynne Padilla and boutique owner Monica Vigil, in conjunction with Kappa Kappa Gamma. The night begins at 6p with a silent auction featuring art, pet products, styling services, makeovers, boutique gift certificates and more. Bliss! Next, it’s a Moni V’s fashion show, with makeup by Padilla and hair by Inspire salon. Designers include Splendid, Cynthia Vincent and Halston.

Tickets are available at Moni V’s (112 Amherst SE, 505.255.0148); $25 for general admission and $50 for VIP seating and swag bag. Fifty percent of ticket sales and 100 percent of silent auction funds, benefit Animal Humane Association of New Mexico.

“Do be a slave to fashionable cocktails, because the hotel is donating money for all signature cocktails purchased,” event coordinator Andre Jackson said in a recent interview.

The night’s emcee: yours truly, dahling, along with that posh rescue poochette herself, Mary Poppins. What will she wear? I’m sworn to secrecy. Please join us for this glam-tastic event for a marvelous cause. (Info: thebonfete@gmail.com , 505.569.0157.)

Happy Cherday

Cher is 65. Perhaps she will treat herself to some fab injections or even a scalpel-related situation. I say GO, lady. Get that work done! Do what you've gotta do to stay on top. Don't ever get all Wildenstein on us, now. Just keep it simple; the basics. Your lips got a little too big for a while there, but last time the paps snapped you, they looked fine. Five stars, diva fabulosa. We heart you.

Mark Your Calendar...

Friday, June 4: Skull Appreciation Day.  The people at Skull-A-Day have launched a campaign for cranial love. There are many different things you can do to celebrate Skull Appreciation Day, but I can't think of a single one offhand. You can have a party. If post-rapture looting is getting its own fiesta, then S.A.D. can, too. 

Not long after that, on June 21, it's' Strangely Orange Snack Appreciation Day, which, not surprisingly, was created by a friend of the Skull-a-Day crew, Terry Border at Bent Objects.

Attn: Rufus Wainwright Fans

If you're like me, you believe Rufus Wainwright's Go or Go Ahead is, truly, one of the best songs ever created. Have you heard Kaskade's mix? Here ya' go.

Birthday Grace

Grace Jones... 59... no words. Wait, yes I certainly DO have words: Lady Gaga, eat your heart out. THIS is the true original. While I respect you for your tireless work ethic and superlative marketing skills, when it comes to originality, you've got zilch on Grace muthaf*ckin' Jones, lady. Next!

Best. Party. Excuse. EVAH!

Four Words: Post-Rapture Looting Party.  I think I can safely declare that now that I've heard those four words, I can die happy.

In anticipation of Saturday's rapture, fabulous jackasses around the country are hosting post-rapture looting parties. You might need to host one, too. I'm seriously contemplating.

"I know the law"

That is the quote of the day, gentle reader:  "I know the law." A man tried to board a train in Wales with a pony in tow. 

He even tried to buy a ticket for the pony. 

Heeeee.... OK... there's more...

Naturally, the staff refused the man's request, to which he replied, "I know the law," then got into an elevator with the horse, and walked it right across the bridge and onto a platform.

The conductor intervened, and, after a brief argument, man and pony left the premises. 

The really good news: he was captured on CCTV. Click here for the fall-on-the-floor-fabulous pic.
