Magical Me

Well everybody, I have just returned from the most magical place in the states. No, it's not Magic Kingdom. This is bigger than Mickey. We are talking wizards, brooms, and lots of love potion. We are talking Harry Potter World at Universal Studios in Orlando.

I know what you are all thinking...And I raise my middle finger to you all. So what if I left my child behind and boarded a plane to Orlando. So what I pretend flew a broom around a man-made Hogwarts and drank my weight in sugary Butterbeer goodness... I loved every magical minute of it. And to all of you jerks who think I'm a terrible mother, I tell you this. When my daughter is grown I will explain it to her and she will understand. "Honey, mommy had to go to Orlando all by herself because you were born a Squib. Squibs are just not safe in the Wizarding world. I was protecting you." So back the hell up everybody.

Thoughts on Katy Perry vs Lady GaGa

Recently, LadyGaga debuted her "controversial" video for Alejandro. I'm not sure what everyone has their panties in a twist about. Frankly, Madonna's Just Like a Prayer was far more controversial. Wasn't she blowing a Priest or something? I don't know, I don't remember. My mom used to drug me with sedatives in my YooHoo so I wouldn't interrupt her "me time" so the eighties are all a blur. There were burning crosses, though. I would have been concerned about the association with the KKK, but to each their own. By comparison, I found Alejandro to be a boring video. There were some marching, shirt less gay gents. Their stiff, synchronized marching reminded me of Nazis. That was creepy but not even the point so she failed there. She writhed on a bed in flesh colored underthings. My Nonnie wore flesh colored underthings so, again, not exactly shocking to me. GaGa wore a pleather nun's outfit. Please, many a trollop does that every Halloween. Sexy Nun? That's been done. She dips a rosary into her mouth then pulls it out. YAWN. To be honest I didn't get through the whole video because I was tired of waiting for the shock.

Anyway, Katy Perry said in response to Alejandro that " . . . if you put sexuality and religion in the same bottle and try to shake it up, it's not cool." While I don't necessarily disagree with Ms. Perry, I find this ironic coming from a girl banging a dude that looks like Jesus.
