The New Queen!

This totally works. I'm excited. 

Adam Lambert has been chosen as the great Freddie Mercury's replacement in one of the greatest rock bands ever, Queen

He can sing like a mofo, and he's an über-proud, flashy-as all-get-out gay man. This. Is. PERFECT. 

Hearty congrats, Adam. Do us all proud. 

Perhaps this means there will be a tour soon. Yeeeee! 

**UPDATE** 2/4/12: Sounds like this story is a fluke, thanks to a gossip rag, The Daily Star, taking a Lambert quote out of context. 

A rep for Queen's record label told Rolling Stone that Adam may perform with Queen at Sonisphere. And even that hasn't been confirmed. 

Booooo! You suck, Daily Star! Getting our hopes up over nothing. Shame on you!

That Damn Unicorn is Taking Over!

It now has his its own cult, the appropriately-named Cult of Unicorn.

From the cult's Unicorn Manifesto

Chances are, if you’ve had your world changed by something, that something was created by a unicorn.

We want you to recognize that you are a unicorn. A horse would not be attracted to this manifesto or its ideas, it would be afraid to deny the power of the herd. A horse is defined by its own fear. Its inability to start or finish things, to be defined not by its ideas, but by its fear.

That does not define a unicorn! A unicorn is a chance-taker who denies the fear of failure. Unicorns create! They sing, dance, write, design and code! A unicorn always does more than the minimum, they add a sprinkle of glitter to everything they do. A unicorn uses rejection and fear from the world as the fuel in the furnace that it uses to forge the future.

R.I.P.

Oh, Don Cornelius. We'll miss you so much. It's our hope of hopes that you're pain-free now. Can't say that I blame you, sir. Heck, I might even have to go so far as to give you props. There, I said it. 

I know that' s controversial, but I would never judge someone for taking their own life due to terminal illness or incurable, chronic pain. If your quality of life has become so horrible that, until you die, your days will be spent in misery, what kind of life is that? Why should they be forced to suffer?

Just one woman's opinion. Feel free to voice your own. It's welcome and respected here. 

It does sadden me that Don died on the first day of Black History Month. Sigh. 

See you on the other side, Don. Like you always said at the end of every Soul Train, “As always, in parting, we wish you love, peace and soul!” 

I'll bet you anything Don is doing this right now while he's waiting in line to transition to the next level:

The first couple is actually Don Cornelius and Mary Wilson. Forgive the poor quality.

Acceptable?

I got a haircut. Just for kicks, I went even shorter than last time. Yes, I am totally in the throes of curly pixie fever. 

My beloved husband came home from work. I hid around the corner. "It's way shorter," I warned. "Be prepared."

He looked at my 'do, hugged me, then declared, "It's cute... Harpo." He then shared a good laugh with himself over his witty quip. 

Why I oughta.

Um... WTF?!?

Behold: Japanese grindcore by Maruosa Warning: you will likely hate this, especially if you're seizure-prone... and hate noise... and fleshy stick-figures with big chompers... and evil babies wearing Wonder Woman boots. 

Is it safe to make a blanket statement and declare that simply everyone will hate it? There, I said it.

If you like it, that's perfectly OK. Have fun with that.

I DID IT!

Today marks the one-year anniversary of Absolutely Fabulisa! Hooray! 

One year ago, I established a goal: blog every day for one year. I think I might've missed a day or two along the way, but I feel I more than made up for it with multiple posts on most days. 

As of this moment, the blog has received 51,228 views over its one-year existence. Not too shabby. 

That's the good news. This next part might irk you a bit, though. 

I'm done blogging every day. Life has gotten much busier, and keeping up with daily blogging has grown quite challenging.

Don't get me wrong, I'll still post new content regularly, but not quite as often as you're used to. I'm certain you understand. 

Thanks for your continued support. Look forward to another year of fabulousness!

xo!

Happy Carolchanningday

Who doesn't love Carol Channing? Don't raise your hand. 

She's 89 today and still kickin'. Now that, my friends, is fabulous. 

Happy birthday, Carol. We love you. Pay no attention to the hand-raisers.
