HI!
Happy Thursday! It's a quiet week at my day job as most people are gone for SXSW in Austin. I on the other hand am gearing up for shows & a wedding! There is definitely a block in the universe that prevents me from posting on Tuesday. I swear. It's the weirdest thing. I did have every intention of posting yesterday but got way sidetracked at work. Like I should be, ha! Then my evening was taken up with a show at Mercury Lounge for client Sundy Best. THEY ARE SO CUTEEEEEE! Definitely check out this Kentucky crossover band. I was definitely won over.
I'm also considering officially changing my new blog posts to go up on Wednesday. There is something about Tuesday that's like a total block. It's so bizarre!! I can't win, I love the ring of Tuesday with Tassels obviously, BUT #TuesdayOnWednesday isn't so bad, right? *scratches head
What are you doing Saturday night? Treat yourself & perhaps your man or woman to a show dedicated to the butt. That's right, the butt. I'm heading back to host at Drom with the ladies of Burlesque Bikini Bootcamp for the Booty Pageant! I'm excited for this as I cannot do much with my butt except squeeze it into too tight jeans ha!
How is my fake online dating going? Great! I wrote back to 1 person that made me Hword HA! Other than that, I'm playing dead. I should just close it down, but I'll pretend for a bit more. Some people claim it's a nice confidence boost, I beg to differ. That sounds so snobby, but C'MON!!!! Some of these people. I'm just being honest.
Next Friday, we're starting out monthly gig at Staten Island's Hashtag Bar. Such good people to work with so I'm really looking forward to getting back there regularly. We have a great 1st cast too. Hopefully you can make it to Meat My Friends and tell me about your online dating ;)
Ciao for now,
TT

#WomenInspiringWomen
I had an unexpected busy day at work yesterday (also time
flew) AND I got approved for my FREE AMY SCHUMER TICKETS last night so
obviously I wasn’t gonna put anything on halt for this ha! Priorities were top
notch!
So after standing outside of The Heath (McKittrick Hotel / Sleep
No More headquarters / Dita after party place) in the rain for over an hour we
were let up via the only entrance: an elevator that fits on average 8 people. It
was fun – while our seats kinda sucked because we were off to a harsh stage
right, it was a blast. It was cool to hear & see Amy do her new material that
I only witnessed via TV on Comedy Central’s Night
of Too Many Stars on Sunday. She’s good. Total girl power advocate which is
right up my alley. AND the cherry on the top was Bridget Everett coming out at
the end to do a song and hump a sexy black dude’s face. The entire performance
was #MyHeaven and I kept my phone away like a good audience member. I didn’t
even sneak a peek for you guys. THAT’S how awesome it was. I love these 2 being such good friends & working together. They feed off of each others energies. They inspire & support one another and continue to grow as confident, independent women. The real deal. I can only hope to work with them in any capacity one day!
Zoning in our first Meat My Friends at Hashtag Bar. Need to finalize some things and we'll be ready to go! Will be fun / adventurous to be back on the island once a month! Especially great to be hosting & performing every month too!! I'm also highly appreciating the enthusiasm from some fellow performers. #SpreadLove

Today is the 7th anniversary of my real (as
opposed to my step) dad’s passing. The day
is just so heavy. Even the years I wake up not knowing what day it is, the
second I look at a calendar it all makes sense.
Ciao for now,

PS:
Friends send me things like this to remind me that life rules: Dinner & Duane Park tonight.

The Only Moment That Counts
When I told my friend I've been listening to Ginuwine all day she replied, "Damn girl, go get laid!"
I died. Not long after my coworkers also creeped up and asked if I was making love. HA! I love my people.
I'm feeling 1000x better than last week which is freaking me out as my PMS was extreme. The low was very low. Mama don't like that! I haven't taken birth control for years. I only began using it as an attempt to deal with skin issues. I eventually stopped due to money, growing out of my harsher acne phase, and frankly not having sex! I'm wondering how others deal with a temporary depression essentially without taking medication?? Talk to me!
I don't know if I'm also genuinely Hword (because we're animals and that's how I roll) or my need for affection is getting the best of me! Hence Ginuwine, hence almost calling an older ex for some casual taking care of, hence signing up for OkCupid yet again.This is not exciting to me. I also hated that I swiped left so much that one came up to swipe right and out of habit he went down the drain. #NotMeantToBe? I'm giving it a solid chance. I promise. And obviously if I go on any meetups I will let you know. This is terrifying & exciting at the same time!
I had another photoshoot with my friend Jose. I'm wondering if he found it to be some what challenging as I was not feeling 100%. Weight gain and having my girl problem and general negativity I went into it reluctant. We both agreed though that it is always always better to just do it - as with most things. Here's the first shot he released. I'm laughing at my chunky little legs and wide face. It is with great strain that I'm accepting this photo of myself as a good one, but this is me. Now. In this moment. The only moment that counts.
