The Month of Drag.

So last weekend was amazing for me, as I got to experience an incredible Drag Queen Performance, by none other than the All Stars 3 Winner Trixie Mattel. She is one of my all time favourites, I have to say one of because it's a battle between her and Katya. Nonetheless I thought I should take this opportunity to talk about how this wasn't actually my first ever drag show, but my third. Which doesn't sound all that amazing, but considering they all took place in February I think it is rather incredible.

Originally I was only supposed to see the two shows, and my first actual drag show was pretty much a spontaneous trip. This is because my sister had essentially made it her mission to see as many drag shows as she can, and for the Season 10 winner Aquaria's show at the Waterfront, the person she was going with could no longer make it, so to not waste money, and keep up with my vow to do more entertaining things with my time I agreed to go. Aside from the standing, which for a pregnant girl is pretty difficult for long periods of time, and the extremely tall annoying guy who stood in-front of me. IT WAS AWESOME. I enjoyed all the different outfits she put together in a small space of time, the lip-syncs and dancing were on point. And I had lots of fun.

Then a couple of weeks later I travelled to the LCR to go and see All Stars 2 Winner Alaska, and thankfully this time I was sat down for the show, but again couldn't avoid a really annoying guy in front of me. But guys, I thought Aquaria's show was amazing, Alaska fucking topped it. Hers incorporated more comedy, and had more live singing, which was brilliant, and the songs were both things I had known and something new. Props to Alaska as well for actually braving the audience for the "Can I Ask You A Question?" segment, which was just brilliant. Again she also turned out some lovely looks. And the great thing about Alaska is how she manages to look stunning whilst pulling the weirdest of expressions and it is very inspiring.

So finally we have Trixie as mentioned before,
and just as I thought my Drag Show experience couldn't be topped. It happened. This time was again seated, there was no annoying guy by me, and my God Trixie does not hold back. Her lip-sync, her jokes, her live singing. It was all just amazing. And it is really sad that it's all over. She did have the least costumes to display, but she did still look incredible, and to be fair her content for her show was enough for me. Like I don't need to see her in 15 outfits, and do incredible reveals, but she would do that flawlessly if she did.

What I didn't realise was the support acts would also be so good. For Aquaria there were 3 in total. Rujazzle, CJBanks and Asia Thorne. But mainly the first two caught my attention. The comedy they had together, and the lip-sync to Nikki Graham's speech from Big Brother was incredible. They also part way through the show got random members of the audience to take part in a lip-sync to Lady Gaga. Rujazzle made a return for Alaska's show. Where she let the audience take part in a blind date situation after she was Barbie for a song. Now for Trixie's show I feel bad I don't remember their names. The main hostess I would say was pretty good, hosting another lip-sync competition this time to the infamous Read U Wrote U. The other very much enjoyed coming into the audience.

Unfortunately that is all the drag shows until April, where I am going to see the legend that is Katya. I am super excited and I am sure I will tell you all about it. But for now, see you when I see you!

The Umbrella Academy.

Hello there. So this shall be another post away from the beings of my life. To be fair not much is happening, just working a lot, growing a baby, and sitting around watching Netflix. And speaking of Netflix there has recently been a new series added to site which I thought I'd talk about. This being the above mentioned The Umbrella Academy, which I began to watch for two reasons.

1. I heard my sister talk about wanting to watch it and she usually has good suggestions for shows to watch. 
2. When I saw the trailer on Netflix I noticed it had Robert Sheehan in it, and after Misfits I just love him. Because he always plays the mess of a character.

Therefore we obviously began to watch, and I very quickly began to enjoy it. The bonus as well was recognising an awesome name, this being Gerard Way. Whom many people I don't think are that aware of because he belongs to a certain music type. But yes the lead singer of My Chemical Romance wrote a comic book series called The Umbrella Academy and this is what the show is based from. So an unknown 3rd reason appeared to watch it. 

I'm not going to say too much about it, because if rather you go watch the show for yourselves  but I love the little quirkiness the show has, reminds me a little to the style of Wes Anderson. And there are a few characters I enjoy, which for shows I watch recently don't tend to happen. 

So first we have Klaus played by the before mentioned Robert, who is just excellent comic relief but also has some pretty hitting story. 

Then there's Ben who doesn't really do much, but he's not annoying
like some of the more main characters. 

Five is pretty funny and he introduces Dolores who is just brilliant. 

Grace who can come off a little creepy but when you understand
her character you realise it makes sense. 

And Hazel I don't know if I'm meant to like Hazel, but he has a great love of doughnuts so why not.

We will quickly mention my least favourite character Vanya, not sure if it's how's she's written or how Ellen Page portrays her. Either way can't stand her. 

My finally point to try and encourage you to watch is simply the soundtrack. And don't let the idea of My Chemical Romance fool you, but how dare you because MCR are great. But some classic hits get played. And they bring some scenes to life.

That's all I shall say for now, so go watch the show, and I shall see you when I see you. 

Sims 4: Let's Complete Everything!

Hi there! It's time to actually post something that isn't about my life. Well technically it is about my life, because I am playing the sims... But it's not about how shit I feel or what I've been doing or all that usual weird stuff.

Things I love to do are play the sims, and read my friends blogs, and this is how I got the inspiration to do what I am going to do. Because my best friends (my husband) Maddy Warnes, has blogged about her sims adventure where she wants to complete the different expansion packs, to truly make the money spendage worth it, and enjoy each game. So I took to this, because I also feel a lot of my money is wasted on an expansion pack purely because I wanted a hairstyle or piece of furniture.

Hence why I am going to start the Let's Complete Everything Series. So I am going to select one aspiration, and then work my way through the expansion pack that links with it, and once it's done move onto the next one. It will be a lengthy process, but it will keep me distracted, provide blog content, and justify the money I spent on this game in the past. So all the wins.

First we have to create a character. I went with female, because being a female I relate to them more you know being a female. And I went with the name Lia Mattel and chose pretty generic traits such as ambitious, because she will be wanting to achieve a lot of things in her life. Cheerful and good, because that is how you should approach life.

Then I went with an aspiration, because like Maddy I wanted to try and restrict the outfits to the closely suited expansion pack. And the easiest way to choose an aspiration was to go with the first one listed, which was Animal Lover. Which I feel very much describes me anyway. Therefore I decided to dress Lia in mainly Cats and Dogs pack clothing. Next would be living in Brindleton Bay, and creating a house with the furniture from that pack. And then playing until the aspiration is complete.

So if you want to know how that all goes down, you can wait with baited breath for the next sims related post. Therefore, see you when I see you!

Video Diary: January.

Yes, these annoying things are making a comeback in 2019, so prepare for about 11 minutes of awkwardness to find out what I've been up to this last month like the ultimate stalker you are.

See you when I see you!
