Well, it’s December once again, that means time for me to binge cheesy Hallmark and Lifetime holiday movies and download the newest diva holiday music. A few divas dropped their first seasonal singles ever, but these aren’t your grandma’s carols. Fefe Dobson’s “Santa Claus Is Back In Town” is a classic song but now with…

Holigay 2022
Every year I eagerly anticipate which divas are going to give in to the holiday spirit and grace us with their unique take on a traditional style of song. This year Santa’s sack is well-endowed with many dashing diva delights. A terrific twosome of singles, a dynamic duo of EPs and a perfect pair of…
Beth Nielsen Chapman’s CrazyTown
Welcome to CrazyTown! Don’t know where it is? Take a left at the Dairy Queen…yeah, that’s me on the corner in the cow outfit waving a rainbow flag, and it’s just two towns over from Funky Town! Speaking of which, the only style of music Beth Nielsen Chapman doesn’t cover on her new album is…
Craptastic Christmas Classics 2021
For someone who isn’t religious and doesn’t celebrate Christmas, I have a sleigh full of holiday music (in laymen’s terms, that’s almost 24 hours straight, of not so straight hours, of diva delights) in my collection and December is the time I binge all the craptastic Christmas movies that I can. This year I got…
Holigay 2021
Well, it’s that magical time of the year again when divas feel festive and spread some choral cheer. This year Santa wasn’t overly generous but he did stuff my stocking with one new album and a few singles. Kristin Chenoweth’s new holiday album might be titled “Happiness Is…Christmas” but, in my gay opinion, happiness is…
A Holiday Story With A Happy Ending
Twas the month before Christmas When all through my blog Not a creature was stirring Not even a groundhog The mailmen were stalked by the box with a glare In hopes that Sidewinder’s bauble soon would be there… Our story starts a long, long time ago (or at least it feels that way, in my…
Cassandra Peterson’s Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs Of The Mistress Of The Dark
Back in December of 2016 I did a blog post about going to New York City for Cassandra Peterson’s “Elvira Mistress Of The Dark” coffee table book signing. Five years later, with in-person book signings not done as much, I had to settle for pre-ordering an autographed copy of her new book, “Yours Cruelly, Elvira:…
Pay For Gay
I’m a cord cutter, not by choice, that’s what happens when you marry a geek. There’s a whole lot of technology going on in our house that I don’t understand. I have to tell the Alexa to turn on lights (if she listens), I have apps on my phone (somewhere) to see if our garage…
Holigay 2020
This year many of my favorite performers decided that less is more when it comes to musical gift giving, there were no holiday albums (closest was a four-track EP from Tori Amos) to be had, just singles. Not a lot of music but a fair share of divas; quality over quantity, I guess. Tori Amos‘…
Patty Smyth’s It’s About Time
I, like any fan of 80’s music, know Patty Smyth as the voice behind the classic hit ‘Warrior” by Scandal. However, in my gay opinion, she solidified her spot in Divadom in 1992 when she released her single “Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough” with Don Henley. Her self-titled album became an instant favorite of mine…
