My Fair Laaaadies!
Today was the Castro Street Fair, the de facto end of summer here in Gay Ol' San Francisco. We attended the Stepford Wives Brunch, thrown by our good friends Wil & Steve & Noel (pictured). These are crazy-inventive fellows who manage to cook up the most amazing themes and costumes and, well, theatrics known to homokind.
This year's theme? The Stepford Wives. Over the past few weeks, I've been trying to figure out exactly how someone like me could dress the part. Nope. Nothin'. But when Sam and I walked into the Stepford Garden and saw the three of them (Hello, Bears!), I knew exactly what vibe I'd missed. That train had sailed.
So the party had all kinds of Susie-Homemaker prizes, with betty crocker recipes realized, served in compartmentalized trays. The metaphorical cloying icing on the cuppy cake was when Wil's, Steve's and Noel's Stepford Wives showed up with the real deal: cupcakes! Take a look! [Warning: it's a 23.5 MB MPEG-4 file. You'll need a recent version of QuickTime]. For those of you not in San Francisco, consider this a most blessed introduction to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, one of the finest, funnest, most fabulous charitable organizations on the planet.
Thanks again to Wil, Steve & Noel. They're the best!
And congratulations (and infinite support) to My Little Man in his continued successes. I love that little bastard so much.
