    Does that flight attendant look familiar?

    If you've been anywhere near the internet in the last few days, you are no doubt aware of the US flight attendant who threw a gigantic hissy fit as his plane was arriving in New York because a passenger pissed him off, cursed out the passengers over the PA system, grabbed a couple of beers, opened the emergency door, exited the plane via the inflatable emergency chute, and drove home to Queens where he was arrested shortly later.

    He's become a sort of internet hero.

    Now our old friends in Taiwan, the TV show that specialises in making animations of news stories, have illustrated the story (including his return home to his half naked boyfriend!) which you can see below.

    However, more importantly, does the flight attendant look familiar to you? He does to me!

    UPDATE: His first interview, as he leaves goal after posting bail.

    Take that Ryan Air!

    A gang of Dublin girls are determined to beat Ryan Air's measly carry-on baggage allowance at Dublin airport...

    Cork Pride is desperately in need of my old lady glamour...

    ... so I'm off for the weekend. If you're in Cork you can find me making a show of myself in Chambers tomorrow night. I'll be the one on stage turning obscene drunkenness into high art through the mediums of lights, music, movement and big hair. It'll be all very high concept (low humour, wide load).

    I'm going down a day early because I'm on a mission to meet my potential new fella, Dancin' Dave, "the best dancer in Cork"

    He loves it!

    Colm & Martin

    My gays Colm and Martin (I almost said "baby gays" but I realise that time passes and they're not really babies anymore - they're fully grown annoying fun gays now) recently entered a competition to win a trip around the EU, and they won. The competition is sponsored by the EU, to encourage baby gays young people to go out and explore the rest of Europe (or something like that), and the prize is a trip around 16 countries in 20 days (or something like that), with various challenges to complete, and they got given free lap-tops, cameras, video cameras and fancy phones to document the trip. You can follow their progress in detail HERE, but we'll keep an eye on them here on the blog too, because even though they're very annoying, I do love those nuts and they're entertaining gay nuts - and they've promised to bring me back some tea towels!

    The first two clips are their actual competition entry, and the third is their first "vlog" from the trip.

    Sitges to have it's first Pride

    Sitges, the beach town outside Barcelona and one of the gayest places in the known universe is going to have it's first Pride this year. Considering that half of the gay population of Europe goes there every summer, it's surprising they've never had one before. Though I suppose their annual Carnival has always doubled as a kind of Gay Pride.

    I think Cork might have damaged me permanently

    Had a lot of fun at the Alternative Miss Cork last night, though I am a very tired pig-dog-man-woman today. Congratulations to the new Queen of Cork, Miss Daisy Drips, and thanks for the fun times Cork queers.

    And yes. That's a really badly stuffed real dog in someone's window....

    And the winner is congratulated by her mother. Awwww....

    I'm off to Cork in the morning...

    ... where they are desperately in need of my old-lady glamour. 

    I'm emceeing the Alternative Miss Cork in the Savoy tomorrow night, so if you're in Cork, come along and get drunk and hit on me. There's a good chance I'll put out because I'll be drunk and slutty. I'm real easy when I'm out of town. Just tell me I'm pretty and don't mind me crying.

    Please have your boarding pass ready

    I've always hated the crappy boarding passes you get while flying. Here's this massive industry, all about transporting people, where they're always trying to get you to be at check-in early, or the gate in time, and an industry where uniform or tail redesigns are trumpeted with much fanfare and celebrity designers, and yet the boarding passes are always cheap, confusing, ugly, and seemingly deigned by a secondary school student with a typewriter. And it's probably the single most important element of the smooth and efficient movement of people through the airport and onto their flight on time. How many times do you check it, just to be sure you've got the right gate, the right time, the right seat. And you're always rooting around for it in all your pockets or the pages of your book or passport because it looks just like a receipt from the airport coffee shop, or your ticket printout.

    Well, I'm not alone in wondering why, and this designer had a go at designing a better one. And other designers then had a go too.

    I Just Got An Urgent Call From Las vegas...

    ... and apparently it's not gay enough! So I'm afraid posting is going to be light for the next two weeks, because Mommy is needed elsewhere.

    Yes, I'm off on a (well deserved) hoilday. Road-trip! Myself and my best gays are starting our trip at Liberace's Vegas Villa, and then heading to San Diego, via this wig store, the Grand Canyon, this nutty Wigwam motel (below), and loads of other places.

    We'll be riding mules down the Grand Canyon on November 4th, election day in the US, so hopefully by the time that poor mule drags my sorry drag ass back up to the top, Moneygall Co. Offaly's most famous son will be the new US President. (see below)

    While I'm away, Bunny will be looking after The Panti Show. But not alone. She'll be bringing some of Belfast's other queens with her, in a cross border drag queen experiment. Though I've told them not to touch anything. (I said anything Bunny!)

    And Dolly Grip will be looking after the Make & Do Do kids for me. And by "looking after", I mean "humilating".

    Try not to break anything while I'm gone. I'll keep in touch while I'm gone though. Assuming Obama wins. 'Cos if Mccain/Palin win the internet will explode, and I'll be too busy being 'raptured' to write.

    Now where did I put my travel lube.... ?
