Pics from Burlesque Show





Here are a few Pics from burlesque show!

Berna gets Angry

hey Kids,

Well my show was a smash success. I'll be posting pics and video's on youtube in the coming weeks. The band was excellent and a special thanks to the Dirty boogaloo, my daddy snuggs, Skinny Tallz and darryl!!

MargOH! really felt like a rock star in the making. I'm no longer afraid to belt it out for the masses and will continue to explore my vocal prowess... The dancers were all wonderful! Legs Malone, La john Joseph, Incedible, Edible Akynos and RunAround Sue were all fabulous. My "Gay Boy of ceremonies" MAN-ee Champagne was in rare form...LOL, too funny.

My experiment of taking lines from several different sitcoms and movies really worked well, I took quotes from such shows as Golden Girls, Sanford and Son, The Nanny, The Jeffersons, Mary Tyler moore show and the movie Steele Magnolia's. I mixed them all up with the banter between MAN-ee and I and it was so fun. We're going to the show again very soon. We had such a blast and MargOH! maniacs were very pleased!

The one sore spot in the evening however was my on again off again wardrobe mistress Berna Breckenridge turned on me after the show.....Ever since she's been the head gaffer at the Letterman show she's so touchy. She seems to forget who paid for her gastric bypass and nursed her back to health...how dare she get crazy and slap me in the face because I picked up her shorts and said "Who's are these, they're enormous". Yes, that's right kids Berna slapped me in the kisser with her big meaty hand. Luckily, I was into my 4Th bottle of champers and i didn't even feel it but of course i didn't take this lying down. We had a bit of a scuffle which ended with me trying to drown her in the bathtub. Poor Linda Hunt had to use all of her power to hoist me off of her...I hate acting inappropriate in front of an Oscar winner but how dare that Berna Hit me, after all I've done for her, really. she also has more sass lately after her engagement with her union buddy....I still think that's a farce but who knows.

Kids can you believe I had to ice my cheek the next day and was forced to have a dirty martini at 8am to ease the pain. It's bad enough getting slapped by my help but to also be forced to drink that early in the morning....is well....a treat i suppose but damn that Berna. She is officially on my shit list for sure!!!

Kids, I'll be back with photo's and video of the burlesque show!

Kisses, MargOH!

Berna's Going to the Chapel

Hey Kids,

I know I've been quiet lately but I just found out some news that was too good not to share with you.


My wardrobe mistress and Head Gaffer for the Letterman show is getting hitched. I can't believe it!! Her union buddy Bernie popped the question the other day and she's been running around the house all week, breaking things, tripping on her tea cup heels and waving the ring in my face..Well the ring is nice, those union peeps rake it in, I must say but unfortunately it was a bit small for her finger and it only fits up to her knuckle, poor dear...

She's been so annoying that my Aunt Fawn-Tastic threatened to cut her with her skating blade...yikes...Oh , yeah by the way Aunt Fawn is actually training with Frank Carol(Michelle Kwans former coach) and she actually has been back to doing her double toe wally's and is almost up to doing a triple toe loop. She swears he has a crush on her and told her she will take the over 60's at the US championships...goodness...

Back to Berna, anyway , she's been calling Betty Degeneres to see if Ellen will be her maid of honor...ahem...i doubt it and can you believe she told me that she wanted me to be the flower lady...my ass...if that cow is to get married I'm going to bartend...cause lord knows every one's going to need a stiff drink after seeing old berna in a wedding gown.....yikes..

Kids , I'll keep you updated on this event...good lord, help me know...

Kisses, M

Poem Series continue's

Hey Kids,

This is just a new poem that has no reference to anyone....I was just feeling a little bad and a little , well you know...

Kisses, M



WHORE


Who is it that says I’m a whore?
Go on let them in, it’s about to begin
Go on ahead and open the door
I’m the whore, the tale, take a swig

Who is it that says I’m a whore?
You’re sucking up; swing the door
Is it me licking up the sweat?
If I’m the whore; let’s bet

So it’s you that says I’m a whore
This is a game to have no end
I see your sweat; shut the door
My talent to you I must defend

So it’s you that says I’m a whore
There’s no fight; it may be true
I’ve played your game; close the door
If I’m the whore; so be it to you

Inbreeding is Rampant

Hey Kids,

I know, I know...I've been terrible with this blog. I think it's because I'm turning 60 and I feel there is so much to do before may. There are things I haven't tried or done yet. I've been busy trying to catch up.

Just a few things... I never actually had sex with anyone older than me so I went out on a mission to Gramercy Tavern, not some place I'd usually go , it's stuffy and smells of burnt meat and whiskey. I didn't mind the whiskey part and actually sauntered up to the bar and had a snifter of cognac...yummy. Well wouldn't you know there were only ladies who lunch at the bar, yikes...wasn't into that... I ended up settling for a waiter named Smitty who was 66...I won't go into details but the drink was stiffer than the meat.....At least now I can get back to the young ones.

Speaking of young ones, I've made a fabulous new friend from Italy and his name is Valerio. He has many of his video's on you tube.He has a great voice and what a gorgeous young man. We've hit it off and have a lovely friendship going. We've decided to do a duet of "Somethin Stupid". This will also be a first, my first recorded duet, how fun....MAN-ee and I have done some fun stage duets and I love doing them so this will be a hoot....


Now to my topic inbreeding...It is all over the news , with that polygamist sect and those crazy gals that look exactly alike and talk like zombies. Their eyes are very close together which usually means inbreeding... I of course know a little about this because my father's side of the family were a bit , well not quite right and it was found that way back in the eighteen hundreds the family members were all doing each other... I think this explains why I have to pluck my eyebrows on a daily basis...they're so thick and bushy....

The other inbreeding that goes on is in the entertainment industry and especially new york cabaret....It's not really like that type of inbreeding...but it is very similar to a cult. I mean this of course in the nicest possible way but I hate the fact that in order to be part of the mix one must get the stamp of approval by an established name....it's like whoring yourself out for a piece of the pie...truthfully I'd rather sleep my way to the top(like in Hollywood, you know like Catherine Zeta Jones) than have to suck up to people just to get attention and believe me I've never seen so much sucking up in my life....

I never realized when I was on the outside what a sham associations are and what obstacles they cause for some people. Now that I've gotten a glimpse of the inside and how things really work, I find it a bit sad and honestly all of the mystique that surrounds the entity have diminished for me...I've always been one who is accepting of all people and I treat people with talent the same as anyone else....but I find that getting the same in return isn't as easy.

Talent is not limited to what one, two or three people think because if that were so then there would never have been a Jackie Mason. I wish people would understand that Talent is not limited to a perception but is unlimited in spectrum....Oh god did that make sense or did that Cognac knock me for a loop....

I'll be back kids

Kisses, MargOH!

My Tryst with David Patterson


Hey Kids,

There has been something I've been blindly carrying around with me for the past few weeks...well maybe that's not the best word for it. Let's just say I've been burdened by the fact that I to have slept with the new governor David Patterson.

Of course I didn't know at the time that he was a public official , it was a few years ago . I had just gotten off the bus on 6Th ave and 23rd street on my way to meet my agent Shecky. This was the same day he was to give me the bad news that I lost the "smuckers" voice over commercial to that pesky Willard Scott.

Anyway, I got off the bus and was making my way down the street and this guy banged right into me and I dropped my purse, which of course was filled with Nips of vodka..as I started picking them up he grabbed one and guzzled it down so I followed suit...

Then he told me he'd never smelt a more beautiful woman...I was wearing my "white Diamonds" that day. He then gestured to the Chelsea hotel and said, wanna romp sweetie? I thought, Shecky can wait and said sure as long as he was paying. He pulled out a wad of cash and we were off. I must say he was a bit clumsy and had a bit of trouble paying for the room, I think the room was 200 but he gave the guy
500.I felt a bit pressured and thought, hell I better be good....

I was of course and so was he. He was like an animal, sniffing and probing me like a snake blinded by lust...Oh, there I go again. Honestly I didn't know he was blind, though now when I look back I should have seen the signs especially when he told me he accidentally put on his wife's panties cause the room was too dark, I was like, yeah , right.

Knowing what I know now it's all a bit funny. I do feel silly that I didn't realize he was blind but he covered it up so well and I didn't mind the whole pantie thing. He was a charmer and he did say he thought I was 25-26....I even said I thought he needed glasses and he just laughed...yikes....

Well kids, I feel much better getting that off the old chest. You know I'm going to be 60 next month. This is crazy times.....I figure I've only got 40 more years so no time for regrets....but if you listen to Barbara Walters I could possibly squeak out another 90 years.....I don't know...I couldn't imagine living that long...please I'd have to freeze Berna....

Kisses,

MargOH!

Hey Kids,

Here is my poem for the lovely and Leggy Legs Malone

34 ½
For
Legs Malone




34 ½

Limbs cutting through sky
Dancing cutting through wind
Legs that seem to defy
Glorious perfection, don’t ask why

Floating pictures of perfection
Dancing cutting through wind
Long supple singular sensation
Legs that seem to defy

Beauty is not always easy
Dancing cutting through wind
Legs dancing c’mon tease me
Thirty Four and a Half for us to see

Glorious perfection, don’t ask why
Just gaze stretching to the sky
Amaze me; set the tone
Thirty four and a half, that’s Legs Malone

My Danny


Mini Coopey

Slight, slim gleaming sophistication
Touch, feel the heart and love
Gentle soul, bleeds expectation
Raise your glass, beating heart and love

Floppy haired sense of humor
Touch, feel the heart and love
An ocean apart, Sullied with Glamour
Raise your glass, beating heart and love

Slight, slim gleaming sophistication

Floppy haired sense of humor

Dancing on stage, for all to see
Raise your glass to ecstasy

hey kids,

Here is a poem for my darling Alice.....she sparkles....

Sparkle
for Alice Skidmore

Sparkle

Fashion sense reigns supreme
Shades, green sparkle in the crowd
Glorious, guiding the way
Blonde bombshell suits the day

Old school charm and grace
Shades, green sparkle in the crowd
Deep red lips, porcelain is skin
A figure eight, no stop to begin

Fashion sense reigns supreme
Glorious, guiding the way
Young Crawford she beams
Picture perfect takes the day

Old school charm and grace
Dressing it up for the stars
Shades, green sparkle in the crowd
Dressing the world, a better place

Poem Series Continued

Hey Kids,

Here is another poem for my kids


MAN-ee Champagne

It’s so fun, a gay fiancé
Fresh, bubbly, dash of style
Blurred pictures, a life so gay
A whirlwind to share for all while

It’s so fun, a gay fiancé
My MAN-ee, to love him so
Sensitive, caring, doesn’t he know
Blurred pictures, loving us every day

It’s so fun, a gay fiancé
Opening my eyes to see the world
Champagne bubbles, drink the day
Scattered, scampering like a squirrel

It’s so fun, a gay fiancé
Champagne bubbles, lights dancing
Always knowing me in every way
Blurred pictures, loving him every day


By MargOH! Channing
