Genderfun, Photofun

You all know I love my dear friend Amnesia Sparkles,
I was looking at her page when I found this cute video she posted up.


It is so amusing. Some male hollywood stars as a woman. It actually kinda suits some of them.

These pictures remind me of the super fun Photofunia.

Another link for my lovelies:
And my favourite one!

The Iron Ladies

Many years ago, I saw a trailer about a show that featured transsexuals and crossdressers as a Volleyball team.

I just happened to remember wanting to watch it many years ago, but downloading movies wasn't as accessible as it is today.
After hours of searching and getting dead torrents, I finally managed to find it on a forum site.
Just because it was termed as an 'Asian' torrent, it seem to make it a lot harder to get.
For those of you who are interested, this is the link where you can get it.
The Iron Ladies Torrent

You will not be able to download it unless you sign up for an account though, but there's no fees, which is good.
I'm currently waiting for the show to finish downloading, but once that's done I'll give you a little review of my own. There is also a sequel which I plan to watch, and with a membership to this Avista forum for Asian torrents (what a load of pretentious exclusive wannabes), I can watch it now.
I love technology.

Loca

I am very proud of my sister from another mister - Miss Nina Flowers!

She has just released a brand new track - Loca


Hmm, in honour of me perhaps? hahaha. Well no, I took my name from the great Madame Vida from To Wong Foo, played by the late Patrick Swayze. It just happens that one of my favourite drag queens loves to call others 'Loca'

You can have a listen to several versions of her songs here:
https://www.masterbeat.com/#release/884502262186

I can't help but feel like she sang it in honour of me everytime I hear the 'Loca loca loca loca......'
However, I have switched my slideshow music to the original Livin La Vida Loca song, but a cover by Lee Hom. One of the hottest man on earth by the way. apparently playing on 'our' team ;) if ya know what I mean.

I didn't really think about it, but the lyrics describe me really well!

She's into superstitions black cats and voodoo dolls. (gotta watch out for those omens)
I feel a premonition that girl's gonna make me fall.
She's into new sensations new kicks in the candle light.  ( I do love candelight)
She's got a new addiction for every day and night. (chocolate, TV shows, alcohol)

She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain. (I love it!)
She'll make you live her crazy life but she'll take away your pain ( Meet me at the club, I'll show you)
like a bullet to your brain. Come On!

[CHORUS:]
Upside, inside out she's livin la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down, livin la vida loca
Her lips are devil red and her skin's the color mocha  (I know you're starting to wonder if Ricky and I were seeing each other ;)
She will wear you out livin la vida loca Come On!
Livin la vida loca, Come on!
She's livin la vida loca.

Woke up in New York City in a funky cheap hotel  (perhaps it was Melbourne city, in a funky chic hotel)
She took my heart and she took my money (yeah that sounds like me)
she must've slipped me a sleeping pill
She never drinks the water and makes you order French Champagne (that's right! alcohol is so much better than water!)
Once you've had a taste of her you'll never be the same (uh huh)
Yeah, she'll make you go insane.

[CHORUS]

She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain.
She'll make you live her crazy life
but she'll take away your pain like a bullet to your brain. Come On!

[CHORUS]



Okay, I have concluded that this song embodies Lavida Loca. And I didn't even intend it to be so.
Lavida Loves it.

A little Modesty

I can't believe there are people who do this.


Turning this work of art ^


Into this.. work of fart.


apparently this is done by a serial graffiti artist called 'Princess Hijab'. I am not liking her work ;P just because it is covering up some eye candy. But I suppose it is a brave way to speak up about something.
I'd love it if this was in some Muslim country. However, I'm sure the ads wouldn't be up in the first place.

Challenge authority my hot men! Reveal your beauty! (to me)

Homotography

Who doesn't love a little man on man action?


Unless you're straight, lesbian, asexual, a tranny trader/loon or strictly loyal to animal sex.
Okay, so maybe the scope isn't so wide. My point is, there is a certain beauty to two men in love.

Alexander the Great conquered with it, Socrates the Greek philosopher perused upon it and Saladin the Sultan of Egypt 

*On Saladin
Richard The Lion Heart, had a secret passion for Saladin. Richard also shared a bed with Philip II of France. According to Gerald, the Archdeacon of Wales, they were inseparable lovers recalling that the English king "so honored Philip that by day they ate at one table, off one dish, and at night they slept in one bed. And the king of France loved him as his own soul."







The statue of david is a testament to male eroticism. It is by no means, something new.

This shot is called "James Twice" by the great photographer Gigi Stoll. It definitely pushes some buttons~

Gay imagery. I love it.

A Drag's Secret Identity.

Each of us have had something about ourselves that we hide from the world. A dirty little secret about yourself that you would allow a select few to share with.

As a drag queen, some of us may be fully out to everyone. I am sure however, that this group is a minority.

Imagine my surprise when a high school friend of mine asked me about my pictures on a high profile blog?
Let me clarify, She asked my BOY mode, about the pictures, as she apparently recognized me.

A little background on Lavida, I studied in a terrifyingly religious school that would crucify the very thought of someone crossdressing. My peer's social system was built around the church. Which added brownie points to popularity. Meaning, them holy bitches that act all purity, are actually the 'IT' girls in high school.

In the wise words of Bowling For Soup, High School Never Ends.

I did a search on this blog. And it was the top hit on google.



I am not going to disclose anymore information about the whole thing. It is sufficient to know that, we should be very careful with our digital footprints. Especially with our dirty little secrets.

Miss Lotus 2009 at Heaven's Door

Wave my little wallabies. Wave.

Who knew Lady Lavida would end up at Heaven's door? I always thought Heaven won't take me and Hell's afraid I'll take over.

The night began with Miss Aida taking to the stage with the lovely Miss Kamira Holden.

The contestants were Miss Mercedez, Miss Gabby, Miss Gayzha, Miss Jessie, Miss Lil Kit and yours truly, Lady Lavida Loca.

Mercedez
Gayzha
Gabby
Lil Kit
Jess

And Your Lady Lavida!

The first round was Q&A about your home town and why are you choosing to be in Miss Lotus.
I submitted the question :" What changes will you make as Miss Lotus 09?"
I answered, firstly, I would change the title from 09, to 69. because that's a position worth having ;P"

Then I will promote Sex, and encourage people to have more sex by putting up posters that said "I put the STD in STUD, and all I need is U" *winks*
The crowd went nuts for these . It was a good start.

Miss Lil Kit and myself attempted a stand up comedy act. Talk about taking a risk.
I chose to do a Wanda Sykes impression. Honouring her comedy skit on Gay Marriage.

Gayzha's outfit for her dance was amazing!


Finally , it was an evening wear presentation. I showed off the dress I sewed on myself, which was topped off with a corset.

So Vote for the Lady ;) right here.

The Halloween Party!

Lovely Lavida has a surprise!

Peacock Lavida!


Birds of a feather, let's flock together!  I'm right there going, "Holla BAck Girl!"
Do you Love the outfit or do you LOOOVE the outfit?
Hand sewn bitches ;D
as I have discussed in the last post. I am sooo glad it turned out as I wanted. And it was great for photo opp, but I didn't make full use of it as I was a lil too drunk.

The night was all black as shadows and blood red balloons. The horrors and whorers gathered in the victorian style bar to celebrate.
Just one of the ladies, acting all natural and flirty ;D




The other drag queen, Mercedez as Poison Ivy. Although someone made a hilarious comment on how her costume reminded them of Endora, the mother in Bewitched.














Lavida shall now be the Vampire slayer!

I had so much wine, that I was later caught by this sexy bitch of a policewoman for a DUI. Dragging under influence.





How was your Halloween this year? who were the spooks and kooks?
