A gay old time in Boston

I'm having a gay old time this week...

First, on Wednesday I checked out Love My Life at the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival...actually, the reason I went is because it was advertised for it's indie music and because it's set in Japan...Sue has sparked my interest in Japan since she lived there for so long...

And it's a completely enchanting movie...great story, about two Japanese young woman who are lesbians, and the whole cast of characters that that surrounds them--who knew there were that many gays in Japan...but it's a great story, tenderly and amusingly told, delightfully shot--it's so easy to watch, the cinemaphotorpher just lays it out for you to see...and you love and care for each and every character, rooting for them to get what they want...here's the trailer...even in Japanese it's pretty easy to see what it's all about...

and oh, the opening scene is killer...it's one of the final shots in the trailer where they are kissing and passing a piece of candy back and forth between their mouths...so sensual and playful and funny, I laughed out loud...and the ending scene to the movie is one of the hottest love scenes you'll ever see....



Then tonight I'm going to see the Gold Dust Orphans production of Wizzin'. Ryan Landry and the Orphans are up to their old tricks again, only this time it's Dorothy who flies off to the Land of Id, and the Wicked Witch is after her ruby panties.

From their site:

An adult version of the beloved classic, “The Wizard of Oz”, “Whizzin’” tells the musical story of troubled teenager Dorothy Gale, as she travels over the rainbow, far from the dull, sepia toned trailer parks of Hyannis to the deep, dark recesses of her own VERY colorful mind.

It's a musical, magical place called "The Land of Id" where all your favorite characters reside! There's a pill popping Glinda, some VERY gay Munchkins, an agoraphobic Tin Man, a painfully insecure Lion, a cell phone addicted Scarecrow ... even the sociopathic Wicked Witch of the South End flies in for a spell!


Chock full of terrific new songs, (plus a few standards!) "Whizzin'!" just can't be beat for all out entertainment!

The show boasts an all-star cast of Orphan favorites, including Afrodite, Penny Champagne, Megan Love, Olive Another, Billy Hough, Ryan Landry, Cheri Amour and returning to the Orphan stage, Boston favorite Rick Park!
So grab your basket and get on board for the silliest, sexiest sensation of the season!

Enough said...I can't wait...
