Corded Telephone
The in-laws still have a corded telephone. It sits on a ledge in a little window between the hallway and the kitchen. My boys are now just tall enough where they can reach it and think it is the most delightful form of entertainment to call someone (like their papa) and walk around with the body of the phone, twirling the cord between their fingers and cocking their heads to the side to hold the receiver...
If you are following the hop in order, you should have arrived from Julie Ranae Murray's Blog, but if you'd like to start at the beginning or find out more details, please stop by The Craft's Meow Blog.
The focus of my card is that amazing chartreuse telephone, the stamp is found in For My Dad, a retiring set from The Craft's Meow. I stamped it over a background of circles from Retro Foundations (also added some misting!), and finished it with a sentiment from Good Times (note: these two sets are not retiring, but were a great fit with my theme).
My inspiration was the colors from Create's Card Blog Challenge.
Today's Tip: Create a custom background with repetitive stamping and a few flecks of mist in the same color as the ink used on the stamp.
Here's some more information: The Craft's Meow is offering 15% off the already reduced prices of their retiring stamp sets, many of which have been marked down up to 50% off! The code to enter at checkout is Winter15. The sale goes through 11:59 pm Pacific on Friday, January 11th. You can find all the retiring stamp sets by clicking here. There is a prize up for grabs too~a retiring stamp set of choice (in stock only) that is drawn from one comment left on the store blog hop post. The hop will go through 9:00 pm Pacific on Wednesday, January 9th.
Your next stop is Lin Brandyberry!

What do you like about Pearlshipping?
Hmm, well, I really like how Dawn and Ash have like an unbreakable bond as it seems... I really think even though the BW Arc with Dawn is over (I think), Dawn and Ash will meet again. ^^ I also really like how they're very friendly towards each other, more than friendly as it seems. XD Like how on Memories are Made of Bliss! Dawn and Ash gave each other a highfive, I just knew that was a PearlShipping moment right there! XD

The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards follows an uninspired writer who attempts to bend the truths around him into a compelling work of fiction. Jansma's whole book is built of nested metafictional vignettes: an author writing about authors writing about authors. This is a book not about what happens but how that story is told, and while that's a bold thesis for a novel, it doesn't leave room for much else to succeed.

The 111-mile Centennial Trail winds through the Black Hills [1] from Wind Cave [2] in the south to Bear Butte in the north. Locals love hiking and biking the 11-mile stretch between Pactola Reservoir and Sheridan Lake in the Central Hills [3]. It's a good distance for a day hike; the trail is just moderately difficult.
The scenery is spectacular, with steep canyon walls, thick ponderosa pine forests filled with wildlife, and scenic vistas of the lakes on both ends of the trail. The trail is marked with brown signs with the trail #89 on them.
To get to the Dakota Point Trailhead, take U.S. 385 north about seven miles to Sheridan Lake Road. Take Sheridan Lake Road to Dakota Point Road. Take a right on Dakota Point Road to where it dead ends at the trailhead. The trail winds around the lake before heading north to the Rapid Creek Trailhead at Pactola Reservoir.
Another interesting hike can be accessed from the same trailhead off of Dakota Point. Instead of heading north, head south on the Centennial trail until it joins up with the Flume Trail. The Flume Trail has been designated a National Recreation Trail because of its historical significance. The entire trail runs from Sheridan Lake to the town of Rockerville, a distance of about 11 miles.
The trail is named after a wooden flume that was built in the late 1800s to carry water from Spring Creek to the Rockerville placer mining camp. The trail is relatively easy, and along the trail you'll see many traces of the old flume. A shorter loop trail is available near where the Centennial Trail joins the Flume Trail. It is well marked and makes for an energizing half-day hike.
The Mickelson Trail runs right through Hill City and is another nice option for an easy walk. Running parallel to Spring Creek in this area, the trail has gentle slopes and a well-groomed surface so that hikers of any age or ability can follow the trail.
Hill City [4] is a central hub for the George S. Mickelson Trail (www.sdgfp.info [5]), a 109-mile biking/hiking trail that runs from Edgemont in the south to Deadwood [6] in the north. This is a Rails-to-Trails project geared toward mountain biking and, as such, is a crushed gravel path. There is a $2 daily or $10 annual permit fee to use the trail. There are two shops in town that rent bicycles and provide shuttle service to any of the 14 trailheads.
Mickelson Trail Adventures (412 E. Main St., 605/574-4094 or 605/391-4491, www.mickelsontrailadventures.net [7]) offers bike rentals for $29 per day, $19.50 per half-day, and $8.75 per hour. Shuttle rates range from $33 to Deadwood to $45 to Edgemont.
Rabbit Bike (175 Walnut St., 605/574-4302, www.rabbitbike.com [8]) is the only full-service bike shop on the trail. In addition to bike rentals ($30 per day, including tire repair kit and helmets), Rabbit Bike offers package deals that include lodging.
Fishing, swimming, and boat rentals are available at two beautiful lakes near Hill City. Sheridan Lake is a 380-acre lake located 10 miles north of Hill City off of U.S. 385. Kayaks, canoes, fishing boats, pedal boats, and pontoons can be rented from Sheridan Lake Marina (16451 Sheridan Lake Rd., 605/574-2169, www.sheridanlakemarina.com [9], open year-round). Pontoons rent for $70 for two hours or $190 all day; fishing boats are $25 for two hours or $65 all day. Kayaks, canoes, and pedal boats are available for $8 the first hour and $5 for each additional hour. Life jackets are provided with all rentals.
Pactola Reservoir, at 650 acres, is the largest body of water in the Central Hills [3]. Located 14 miles from Hill City [4] and just north of Sheridan Lake off of U.S. 385, it is a scenic location for boating or fishing. The marina there, Pactola Pines (U.S. 385, 605/343-4283 or 605/341-1286 off-season, www.pactolapines.com [10]), has a variety of boats for rent including several different sizes of pontoons, fishing boats, and canoes. Pontoons, which accommodate eight people, start at $85 for two hours or $160 all day. Fishing boats rent for $40 for two hours, or $85 per day and hold three or four people. Canoes are $20 for an hour, $35 for two hours.
Both Sheridan Lake and Pactola Reservoir are part of the Black Hills National Forest and have day use fees of $6. Both also have camping facilities that include drinking water and toilets, but no electricity, hook-ups, or showers are available. Campsites are $21 per night.

1 Samuel Chapter 9: Saul Becomes King
Feb 1st, 2010 | By admin | Category: 1 & 2 Samuel, Verse by Verse --Studies led by Br. Frank Shallieu (Click on Book name)Step by step Saul and his servant were led to the very village where Samuel was staying. The suggestion came to the servant, probably by divine power, to go to Samuel, who had been a seer for many years. (A seer could forecast situations, almost like a mystic.) It was favorable that Saul felt they should compensate Samuel with a present, but he had nothing to give him. The servant offered to give his quarter of a shekel to the "man of God" as a token of their appreciation for telling them the way.

Born and raised Jazz fan!! I've been watching Jazz games since I was 2! I remember watching games on television, using aluminum foil for atennas and cheering for players like Mark Eaton, John Stockton, Karl Malone, I could throw out some players like Adam Keefe, Big DAWG Atnione Carr, and after the Jeff Malone trade, Hornacek, or Horny as everyone on my block would say. I grew up collecting carrds, memorizing statistics of all my favorite Jazz players. I not only cheered and rooted for the Jazz, I would "play" Jazz players with the neihborhood kids. Basketball, and Jazz were my life. Seeing my favorite team turn into a "championship level" team in 97′ and 98′ and my favorite moment in basketball history is John Stockton hitting the 3-Ball to send the "Utah Jazz to the NBA Finals!"
I have a love for basketball, sportstalk, I love playing in fantasy leagues, pick up games, I follow the Jazz almost religiously, and I love watching and playing other sports, paticulary football and golf and all levels of competion, proffessional and college.
I am very excited for the Jazz 2011 Season and I beleive it could be one of our best! (My fantasy league could back me up on that, seeing how I own 7 Jazz players on my team! Now, if that doesn't prove my loyalty to the Utah Jazz I don't know what will! I think we have so many weapons on our team defensively and also more weapons on the offensive end and with a general and quarterback in Deron Williams, the greatest point guard in the leauge.
I look forward to blogging and discussisng topics with everyone involved in utahjazz360 and am exctied to be a part of the Utah Jazz.

Pruning the forum database.
You can give your partitions labels and use those instead of UUIDs in menu.lst and fstab (replace UUID=... with LABEL=....) and run mkinitrd again for good measure. The labels are internal to the partitions so won't change when other things change around them. You should be able to set the label from within PCC.

The chance is not as high as you might think
We all know by now that Syracuse cruised to a record amount of snow for any December in history dating back to 1902. In fact, we set that record a week ago on December 17th with 2 stretches of lake effect snow that tallied 46.2" between December 4th and 9th and 23.1" between December 13th and 17th. Syracuse even made the New York Times displaying how hearty we are compared to the rest of the state and country! However, since then, central New York has seen very little measurable snowfall. While there was a considerable amount of cloud coverage, freezing drizzle and flurries, actual snowfall has not accumulated very much at all. In fact, there has only been 1.2" of snow at Hancock Airport between December 18th and December 23rd. Here is the latest tally for top 5 snowiest Decembers and the top 5 snowiest months for any month on record for Syracuse since 1902:
Top 5 snowiest Decembers
1. 72.1" - 20101. 70.3" - 2000 3. 64.6" - 1989 4. 57.3" - 2008 5. 53.0" - 2005
All-Time snowiest months ever
1. 78.1" - January 2004
2. 72.6" - February 1958
3. 72.2" - January 1978
4. 72.1" - December 2010
5. 71.0" - January 1966
With only a week left in December and six inches of snow to go to tie the record, can Syracuse accumulate enough snow to top the list? Normally, you might think yes. However, it may be tougher than you think. The recent freezing drizzle & flurries pattern continues today, but will not accumulate much more than a couple of tenths of an inch of snow. This forecast should also hold true for Saturday. In fact, there will probably be even less freezing drizzle for Syracuse on Saturday. For Sunday into Monday and Monday night, we will continue to monitor that developing nor'easter. However, as we have been telling you all week, that storm will likely to be too far away from central New York to directly impact the area. That leaves an upper level system plus, and more importantly, any lake effect snow that would develop as strengthening northwesterly winds take hold behind the departing nor'easter. While it is still very early to make any kind of official lake effect snow forecast this far in advance, Sunday's snow should be very light and to the tune of flurries to only a couple of tenths of an inch of snow. Sunday night, Monday into Monday night would likely be the highest risk for lake effect snow within Syracuse and central New York. Early indications are, though, that a strong and low inversion plus northerly winds may not allow much more than a couple of inches of snow to form.
After Tuesday's leftover light snow showers and flurries, the weather will likely get much milder. That will shut off the lake effect snow and any snow for that matter for good for the rest of the 2010. So, unless Syracuse gets more lake effect snow during the Sunday night through Tuesday morning time frame than I'm expected and/or Syracuse can grind together extra snow through each period, the all time monthly record of 78.1" set back in 2004 could hold strong. We are almost assured of getting into 2nd place all time since, Syracuse was only a half an inch away from that level.
What do you think? Do you think Syracuse will get enough snow to top the all-time list? Let me know by commenting at the bottom of this page.

Focus On Technology against Climate Change in Asia
Dr. Xuedu Lu, ADB's Advisor on climate change and carbon market, talks about the role of technology in mitigating the effects of climate change in Asia and the Pacific.
What is the role of technology in mitigating the effects of climate change?
Dr. Xuedu Lu, ADB's advisor on Climate Change and Carbon Market. |
Environmentally sound technologies play an important role in controlling, reducing and preventing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) as well as dealing with the consequences of climate change. Technology transfer is critical in developing countries, particularly in Asia and the Pacific where GHG are rapidly increasing and large populations are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
However, presently low-carbon and climate-resilient technologies are not widely available in the region, and there are many barriers to technology transfer and deployment, such as the lack awareness, insufficient incentive support, and lack of favorable government policies.
What is ADB doing to address this gap?
In response to the call of the international community, ADB and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) are working together to establish a pilot Climate Technology Network and Finance Center. This initiative directly addresses the key barriers to climate technology transfer and deployment in Asia and the Pacific by fostering knowledge sharing and public-private partnerships, and developing institutional capacity and climate technology policies.
The technology finance center will be set up in Manila, Philippines, to be managed by ADB, while the climate technology network secretariat will be based in Bangkok, Thailand, to be managed by UNEP.
This initiative falls under the umbrella of the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), which was launched in 2010 under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) to support developing countries in reducing GHG emissions while developing their economy and in adapting to the negative impacts caused by climate change.
What lessons can ADB's pilot project offer for the CTCN?
ADB's and UNEP's Climate Technology Network and Finance Center is in its initial stage of development, but it has already provided us with early lessons to inform the operation of CTCN. One lesson is that it must be demand-driven. We should prioritize support to those who really wish to invest in low-carbon and climate-resilient technologies.
Another lesson is private sector engagement. It will be very crucial to engage the private sector in the process of promoting investment in these technologies, because they will pay more attention to the success of the early-stage and advanced climate technologies, which can help reduce the risk of failure.
How does ADB plan to move forward with the CTCN?
ADB has a team to manage the pilot project and wishes to cooperate closely with the CTCN to share experiences and lessons which can be beneficial to both. To enhance cooperation, it would be best to establish an institutional working relationship between ADB and CTCN.
What developments can we expect at this year's COP18 regarding the CTCN?
Early this year, the UNFCC invited interested organizations to submit a proposal to host the Climate Technology Centre. At COP 18, we expect a decision will be made in this sense, so that the Centre can start to work and provide services as planned.

by Osama Wazan
Author of The Last Moderate Muslim
A grassroots catalyst for peace.
President Obama warned against the presidential candidates' display of "casualness" on war. Respectfully, the president was half right. It is the casualties of war that should be held above all points of contention.
The coverage of peace talks is minimal. The volley of provocations and threats of retribution, however, is public and global. Our reactions to wars vary, but the inventory is indisputable: The destruction of humanity.
For fifteen years, Osama Wazan lived inside a combat zone. Wazan guarantees this: Post-war peace agreements never reimbursed anyone for destroyed homes, re-grew amputated body parts, or resurrected the dead children.
Wazan wrote The Last Moderate Muslim, a fiction novel. It is inspired by a true story and packs answers to countless questions that westerners have asked such as: Why do they hate us? Where are the moderate Muslims? What in God's name goes through the mind of a suicide bomber? Why are Muslims violent? The novel ushers the readers into a Middle Eastern Muslim household where they will get a realistic and chilling experience. They will hear the voices, see the points of view, and experience the reactions of a father, mother, and two sons living in a war directly triggered by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Wazan's mission is embedded in the story lines. The mission—a grassroots catalyst for peace—is the very reason why he wrote the novel. Wazan renders the root causes of religious violence, political strife, and militant actions from the ground up, exactly where peace should start to be sustained.
The author is a candidate for the URI Global Trustee from North America. His biography is available on the URI website.

Accelerating startup formation and growth
Mentorship driven accelerator programs have transformed the speed with which founding teams can arrive at a viable prototype product and scalable business model. In doing so, these programs have also dramatically reduced startup capital needs and significantly increased success rates by recommending promising teams to interested investors.
UVC Supported Acceleration Programs
UVC has played a major role in organizing the StartFast Venture Accelerator--Upstate NY's first private capital backed, mentorship driven accelerator for software, Internet and mobile startups. Modeled on the highly successful TechStars program, StartFast will invest in 10 high potential startups each summer and bring hundreds of world-class mentors and investors to the region.
UVC is building a coalition of business and academic leaders in the Mohawk Valley to launch a program similar to the Syracuse Student Sandbox: a for-credit summer accelerator to identify and support entrepreneurial students. Download Mohawk Valley white paper.
UVC publicizes and promotes increased cross-region participation in Startup Weekends that are now taking place in Syracuse, Albany, and Rochester. Each event draws 100-150 people who work in teams for 57 hours to turn an idea into a prototype and a business model.
UVC promotes technology commercialization through the Pre-Seed Workshop which occur on a regular basis in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Ithaca, Geneva, and Long Island. This 2 ½ day event brings 40-60 community-based professionals together with researchers to turn patented inventions into early stage companies. Download PSW Six Year Study.
Contact Us if you wish to participate in or organize an accelerator in your community.

Today I wrote what may be the three most satisfying words a dramatist writes: END OF PLAY. They went on the bottom of page 103 in Scene 12 of a new full-length comedy. (One only hopes there will eventually be audiences and if they appear, that they will laugh.) This play's working title is Callgirl, which I'm not satisfied with and will exchange for something better as soon as I come up with that something better.

I am grateful for being able to post on Extra Criticum and am sorry I haven't in a long while. I could use the excuse that I now do a weekly internet radio show, work a day job and play poker on the weekends so who the hell has time for a single thing more but that would not be coming from a very grateful place now would it?
So here I am posting, partly in response to Roland's last post and partly because I have been discussing and debating the topic of what artistic success is on my show, The Unknown Zone Talk Show, fairly regularly.

For at least two years before the birth of Extra Criticum, it seems that my old pal Robert Sullivan had been prodding me to start blogging. "You need a blog. Every writer should have a blog. Have you thought about starting a blog yet? I really think you ought to consider it." I don't know why I resisted. Well, actually, I do. I resisted the idea of starting my own blog because it struck me then as somewhat narcissistic. A journal of my thoughts, feelings and opinions—not to mention mundane actions—posted online for all the world to see? Why bother? What a bore!So I told Robert the only way I would consider blogging was if it was a group undertaking. I didn't want to create a space where all the musings of one Roland Tec would be posted ad nauseum. I'd feel a lot more comfortable if I could do so in the company of good friends and colleagues.

If we can agree that most playwrights are mediocre, I sort of feel like they fall into two giant pools at opposite ends of a continuum. At one end there are those with great ears for the music of dialogue, for how we sound when we speak but without much of any depth fueling their desire to write. At the other end of the spectrum are the theme builders who load their plays with big issues but maybe lack some of the finesse in terms of crafting dialogue. And then in the middle, between these two extremes are the really great playwrights, the ones who have a subtle ear for dialogue but also have something devastating to say about the human condition
Two such writers have plays up in 99-seat houses right now. And I was lucky enough to enjoy them both virtually back to back.

There are people in this business (You know who you are) who love nothing more than to infantilize the artists they deal with. Sometimes these people are lawyers. Sometimes they're agents or producers or executives. Sometimes they're even D-girls, if you can imagine.
And there are artists who slip into the role of helpless child with such ease and frequency that slowly over time, imperceptibly at first, they get sort of glued in stuck into the costume. And they end up prisoners of a sort... ambling through life like helpless innocents looking for guidance to all the adults in the room. I don't have a lot to say about this syndrome, save this:

In September, 1991, I showed up at a realtor's office in Brooklyn. The borough was to be my home for the next 18 years, but it was virgin ground to me then. I had graduated from college in June. After a summer at home and a trip to Europe with my girlfriend, I had come to start my new life, my New York City life. Some friends had found an apartment in the cute-sounding neighborhood of "Park Slope". I was the first to arrive.
A week later I started a job as a paralegal at Wilkie Farr & Gallagher. The office was on the 51st floor of the Citicorp Building. Why the powers-that-be there decided to give me a job like that is a mystery on the level of Stonehenge, and they would quickly come to regret it. After six miserable weeks, I quit.

What to say about my new friend, Dandy Darkly? It might be easier to let others... for example, Woman About Town Magazine called him "A Gothic, gay monologist" while the Triskelion Arts Center called him "The Dr. Seuss of Perversion!"
The Villager Newspaper said that he's "An utterly unique and potentially fatal cocktail of mince and menace that's not to be believed... even once he's been seen!" and recently, Time Out picked his last show as "One of Five Things To Do". He's
Dandy Darkly is a master storyteller who mixes the erotic .. and the macabre.. and this Saturday night March 30th at Dixon Place, he'll present a Dandy Darkly's Easter Blister Variety Event with an all star lineup of storytelling and burlesque style acts!

As a storyteller I pay a lot of attention to types of narrative – the various ways stories can be told.
Narrative is perhaps the fundamental way our species organizes experience. Event "A" causes event "B" which causes event "C" etc. etc. That's what narrative is – a causal relationship between events. You can think of it as a series of dominoes falling. Even when in real life events occur in proximity but independently, our strong impulse is to invent a causal connection anyway, because that's just how we're wired to see the world. We like order; cause and effect. To our genetically endowed brains, chaos and nonsense are not our friends.

Girls is the antithesis of the modern sitcom, most notably in the way it depicts sex as awkward and only intermittently satisfying — as opposed to the happy, off-screen "banging" that's talked about on shows like How I Met Your Mother and is only occasionally disrupted by cute-as-a-puppy instances of impotence. This week's second-season finale closes with a skewed take on a romantic comedy cliché, as Adam responds to a phone call of distress from Hannah by dashing out of his apartment at night without a shirt on, taking the subway to her place, breaking down her front door, and lifting her out of bed in his arms.

Impoverishment is the default condition of most theatre artists, including playwrights, composers and lyricists. Very few make a living from their art and many struggle to make ends meet and lack health insurance. This sad state of affairs was well aired in 2010 by the book Outrageous Fortune which documented how the economics of theatre disadvantage writers.

Kung Fu Panda 2
Barney's Version
Little Fockers
Jews and Baseball: An American Love Story
"This isn't a retirement home. It's a madhouse."
Academy Award–winner Dustin Hoffman (Kramer vs. Kramer, Rain Man) is clearly an actor who has always had a desire to direct. He almost made his debut behind the camera with 1978's Straight Time, but opted instead to just act in the movie. Since then he has directed theater and produced television, and it shouldn't be too surprising that Hoffman is finally making his debut as a movie director with Quartet.
Based on the play of the same name Ronald Harwood (The Dresser, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly), Quartet stars Maggie Smith (Downton Abbey), Michael Gambon (Harry Potter) and Billy Connolly (Brave) as denizens of a retirement home for musicians, which puts on an annual which is put in question when Jean (Smith) arrives at the home. The movie's first trailer has just arrived online, and reveals a light, comedic tone in what looks like a heartwarming story that is set to open in time for Oscar consideration. Fans of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (which also starred Smith) take note.

Miracles Have a Way of Making News
Music: Si fortune.
Sequenced by Curtis Clark at The Internet Renaissance
Copyright by |
Miracles have a
way of making news. Even skeptics stare at parted seas. Religious or not--Christians, Muslims, Jews-- Resurrection brings them to their knees! Years ago, miracles were in vogue: Christ and Moses wowed the willing crowds; Holy icons healed both saint and rogue; Rare wonders were ascribed to cups and shrouds. In our time miracles are everyday, So few can hope to grab us, or astound. The mysteries that clutter up our way May seem much more perplexing than profound. And yet life is miraculous: to be Surpasses any wonder we might see. |

Makeup Tips from Miami's Most Fab
I get frequent e mails from ladies asking me questions about makeup. What's the best brand? What will last the longest? Where can I find the brightest colors?
I know what works best for me, but I figured it couldn't hurt to turn to some true divas who know makeup from makeup. Beauties who use makeup to transform their look completely from day to night. I reached out to my amigas in gorgeousness — three of Miami's most fabulous drag queens.
My last post on drag queen makeup was forever and a day ago, so I'm long overdue for a fresh update.
Who better to ask than three of my favorite divas who live, love and entertain in the 305? As a special bonus, I'm gonna throw in my two cents with a special makeup recommendation for each of these faboosh ladies.
Let's kick things off with the stunning, the electric, the diva Miss Elaine Lancaster. Her glamorous photo is by Howard Austin Feld. You can find her on Facebook, and while you're at it, join her fan club Friends of Elaine Lancaster. Tell her Afrobella sent ya!
Take it away, Elaine!
1 – What inspires your look? There are so many kinds of drag, what led you to express yourself this way?
I guess my look was inspired, at first, by the ladies of Dynasty. Now I get inspiration from everywhere.
2 – How would you describe your aesthetic?
I want to dress for myself & how I feel that day/evening. Plus i TRY to be appropriate for the event/location.
3 — What are your go-to tools of the trade? What makeup brands work the best for your needs?
I love MAC Cosmetics, but really am learning to love MAKE-UP FOREVER… amazing colors.
4 — What's your advice for young queens on the come-up — in the physical sense and in the sense of entering this new and exciting world?
It's the hardest job you'll ever love if you do it right.
5 — What do you want the world to know about the Diva, Miss Elaine Lancaster?
"I can't cover up my feelings In the name of love, or play it safe… For a while that was easy… And if living for myself is what I'm guilty of Go on and sentence me I'll still be free…….IT'S MY TURN……." Diana Ross
Oh Elaine. Quoting one of my all time beauty icons. LOVES it!
My makeup recommendation for Elaine — Make Up For Ever's Aqua Eyes Collector. 25 gorgeously pigmented waterproof eyeliner pencils, the better to highlight those gorgeous peepers.
Next up, I had to holla at ADORA. Why? Because her makeup is among the most outlandish and outstanding in the biz.
Look at THAT. I don't know many other people who can pull that off, and Adora does it so effortlessly every day. I HAD to find out what inspired this look. It was a bit tricky because English is not Adora's first language. But I think we figured it out! (PS: Adora's photo is by Alexis Trigouria).
1 – What inspires your look? There are so many kinds of drag, what led you to express yourself this way?
My look was inspire by cartoons, 1950 's and 60′s vedettes (which I believe are dancing girls?) and I thought that this kind of drag was the most fun and creative.
2 – How would you describe your aesthetic?
Adora's aesthetics is a mix of camp and glamour.
3 – What are your go-to tools of the trade? What makeup brands work the best for your needs?
For Adora's "natural looks" she uses MAC full coverage, with a mix of colors from Coty powder. White pigment as eye shadow from MAC, water proof eye liner from MAC, the eye lashes she just let them grow, contour from MAC , lipstick and lip gloss from whoever and all this depends on the event, time of the day or just the mood.
4 — What's your advice for young queens on the come-up — in the physical sense and in the sense of entering this new and exciting world?
For the new girls I have advice — BE YOURSELF the looks are second, the talent has to be always first, one can have a fabulous figure and looks… no talent? No thank you! So there you have it girls before you go out there, make sure that you can entertain!
Adora's web site is AdoraMiami.com.
What's my product recommendation for Adora? Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. The brand is all about mixing and matching, expressing yourself, and creating your own vision. The multi purpose cosmetics are made for mixing and everyone I know who has tried their lip tar absolutely RAVES about it. And their colors come in a range Adora would adore.
Last but so certainly not least is my friend Shelley Novak — photo by Desi. We clicked with each other years ago, when I interviewed her for Miami New Times.
Since then she's retired like Cher, and returned for a glorious revival on the SoBe circuit.
Shelley is like no other queen on scene. Gloriously hairy, carefree, hilarious, honest, and extremely knowlegable about many things pop cultural and cinematic, Shelly rocks. Point blank, period.
Take it away, Shelley!
1 – What inspires your look? There are so many kinds of drag, what led you to express yourself this way?
I'm a dash of Donna Mills of Knots Landing mixed with a healthy dose of Divine with a sprinkle of David Lynch.
2 – How would you describe your aesthetic?
Barney Rubble in a dress.
3- What are your go-to tools of the trade? What makeup brands work the best for your needs?
Max Factor pan stick, which is very hard to find now that Max Factor went under thanks to his rapist grandson's expensive trial.
4 — What's your advice for young queens on the come-up — in the physical sense and in the sense of entering this new and exciting world?
Take every job you can, get paid in cash and always try to get paid ahead of the event if you can!
5 — What do you want the world to know about the inimitable Shelly Novak?
That I'm on chapter three of my memoirs (finally).
I can't wait to read them. I wish I was around to help co-write them! Shelley's got a wealth of material, and she's fun to interview. TRUST.
You can find Shelley exclusively on Facebook by joining I'll Shave Tomorrow: The Shelley Novak fan club. Ha!
In terms of makeup, Shelley's gonna have to upgrade from Max Factor, because boo hoo — the brand responsible for coining the term makeup and countless innovations in the world of beauty is not going to be for sale in the USA for much longer. Now's the time to expand the makeup horizons.
For super duper unbeatable coverage, I recommend Shelley check out Prescriptives AnyWearMulti-Purpose Makeup Stick with SPF 15. Speaking from experience, this brand gives amazing coverage, comes in just about any shade you can dream of, and will last for ages and protect your skin from the scorching Miami sun.
I'm hoping to interview another fabulous queen about makeup soon, so stay tuned. If you have questions or loving comments for Miami's most fab, feel free to leave them below.
Thanks Elaine, Adora, and Shelley — keep shining and know that Afrobella loves ya!

Thanks for showing some love to the queens. This post is awesome =)
Too bad about Max Factor, though. They made some of the first make-up I ever wore!
thank you patrice
xoxoxo shelley -
First off, yes!!! I work on television and know that make-up can also be the art of illusion. No one does this better than drag queens so thank you for including them in the beauty discussion.
Also, Elaine, your awesome for quoting Diana Ross… the supreme Diva!!!
-Noni Aminah Jones
Indeed, they are fabulous queens. Great post.
drag queens are makeup masters. Even though some of them may have "a lot of look", I find that I can steal some good tips from them.
Miss Ross is a huge inspiration to many of Queen, but especially me since on a Freezing cold Chicago winter night. My drag sister, who worships Diana Ross, I surprised with front row tickets to see Diana @ the Chicago Theater. Naturally we both went in Drag. For her closing number, to my surprise, she called me to join her on stage to sing the finale' with her which was, I will Survive… That moment in my life was so surreal & I will cherish it forever. It even made the tabloid newspaper the GLOBE… LOL xoox
1. My google search after this article led to me finding sephora's fall collection.Can u do a product review on their new candy colors?
2. I have been a Bey stan since the writing's on the wall came out when I was in 9th grade… but I did not know she str8 swagger jacked diana ross when came out with crazy in love. -
Wonderful post! Elaine, Adora and Shelly are my favorite drag queens in Miami. They deserve all the love and respect we can give them!
xo, Allegra
Hi Dears, Shelley, Adora, and many many more of there friends as well as many Stars, (I won't brag) Oprah, and Salma, Daisy Fuentes, as well as a lot of hunky men…..Charlie Sheen, K-Fed, a lot of Athletes and many more!!!!! I have a lot of interresting comments about make up for you, as well as technicques as well!
Please contact me!
Love Jacqui -
I endorse to Elaine, Adora and Shelly are favorite drag queens in Miami.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Fort Worth police say muggers who held up an Arlington man weren't content to pull a shotgun on their victim but also used a pit bull as an accomplice.
The man told officers he was waiting for a ride near a convenience store last week when three men with the dog came up to him, hit him with the gun and the dog bit him.
They ran off with an undisclosed amount of money.
The Fort Worth Star Telegram says (bit.ly/QdX7VF) the victim, whose name isn't released, was taken to a hospital for treatment of a dog bite and bruises.
Police say no one's been arrested.

The worlds of hackers and journalists are coming together as reporting goes digital and Internet companies become media empires. Journalists call themselves "hacks," someone who can churn out words in any situation. Hackers use the digital equivalent of duct tape to whip out code. Hacker-journalists try and bridge the two worlds.
This group is to bring all these people together -- those who are working to help people make sense of their world. It's for hackers exploring technologies to filter and visualize information, and for journalists who use technology to find and tell stories. In the age of information overload, all their work has become even more crucial.
