Falling in love with the "ladies"

In talks with Richard Farley.

Not the Texas Richard Farley aka the stalker but the type of bloke one would want to be stalked by,  the Principle dancer from The Royal Ballet who currently has a pop-up called Gallery 16 in Covent Garden.

Farley's exhibition, "A Life In Dance," consists of behind the scenes photographs freezing the lives such as Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn in seconds taken during his dance career in the 1950s. 

What was expected to be a 30 minute peek soon turned into nearly two hours of pure privilege as Farley himself reminisced tales of behind the scene rehearsals and days on the road performing.  Farley said "One must always have a lady, with a lovely lady anything in possible" but what exactly is a lady remains unknown.  Be it dance, be it photography or his stories about the ballerinas (his reason for pursing dance in the first place) Farley is definitely a man of many ladies.  

Truly worth popping in to hear even one of his stories - the photographer has arranged Gallery 16 himself and remains on premises until 5 March. 

Call A Nurse

For those of you men who have not had the privilege of viewing the ladies room at The Hospital Club, here is what you have been missing. Oh and each room has different wall treatments, this is only one of four!

Natural Explosions

An Ideal Bird

Oh how this is a major wish list - so creamy with perfectly raised polka dots.  Buttery smooth with just the right amount of blending left unfinished.

Ice Ice Baby!

Yes,  as a produce of the 80's that was necessary.  Now that that streak of lamo is over, let's get on with the point. 

Q. When a state so great in size it could swallow the UK in whole and the world's number one soda pop brand join forces with a typical Texas energy provider what do you get?

A. ICE!, a million pound ice sculpture of Charlie Brown Christmas at the Gaylord Texan presented by Coca-Cola and sponsored by Reliant Energy.

A little disappointed that the yearly episode was aired so early on 15 December allowed the perfect opportunity for the rents to embrace the inner childhood in real time.  Nearly 30 and the oldest child by far in TX (aka Texas) sight - the breading ground where over the top, larger than life hair brain creations are the norm- on the day. 

Q. So how did this unpredicatable 14.000 square foot winter festival survive the south's sun?

A. A group of 40 visiting artisans from Harbin, China chizzled away for 34 days at 400 pound blocks of ice in a 9 degree tent pumped with cold hearted love - parkas provided for all the Smurfs.

How's that for stimulating the economy! For all of other dreamers out there, here is a sneaky peek of the potential for possibilities this gay kid will be conjuring up in the year to come!

How to cure just about anything!

the good old fashioned southern way.

A swift change from case of blues to red, headaches (temporarily), love sickness, relief from taking advantage of social anxiety to name a few but in this case it was bronchitis.

Directions:
1. Raid grandma's pantry for a mason jar or empty her iced tea glass

2. Grab handfulls of semi soft peppermint puffs from a local confectionair

3. Play hoops until the jar is full (in some cases this may take hours)

4. Fill to the brim and give thanks to Jack, Jim or another trusted friend

5.  Watch the sunset on the front porch as the mints dissolve into syrup

6. Swig as needed
