Dear Ellen,
How’s it going? Things are good here. I’m sorry to report that I didn’t take a good photo this week with you but i have a good reason.
Project DOG has taken a turn and things are really starting to happen. I haven’t been scheduling many Project DOG photoshoots because I decided that it’s probably best to wait until the final list is announced. Until then you will continue to get a weekly treat from yours truly sans project dog-specific dogs until further notice.
As a replacement I will be singing you some songs. This way you can really experience each facet of your multi talented friend (me). LOL…!! I discovered the myspace karaoke page today and I noticed that you have a little singing deal on there so I thought this might be another fun way to stay connected, since you obviously like karaoke too.
Funny because I haven’t signed into myspace in YEARS. Umm, in 3.5 years to be exact. Crazy how it’s like, mainly music stuff now, and some movies/video. Not really the Myspace I used to know and love, but different in a new fun way. Let me ask you a question… were you ever signed up at PlanetOut? I swear, gay people have been doing social networking LONG BEFORE the rest of the world. Old news to us! I had my first PlanetOut profile when I was 19, meeting people from the internet at a ripe young age hahahaaa.
I LOVE KARAOKE. Some of my best life memories are singing karaoke – fur realz. When I was in my late “coming of gay age” I used to go to Diamonz (the “dyke bar” in my town) to sing karaoke with the one and only Royal, the best karaoke host ever. I banged out the hits… a little Whitney here, a little Mariah there (I won $100 singing “Hero” once)… with my gay boyfriends by my side. It was so fun and we used to go a couple times a week. Then when I moved to NYC I started going to Planet Rose on 14th and Ave A to hang out with my “luvtender” aka Amanda the hott singing bartender. Good times… the amazing thing is that I’m still good friends with Amanda, she’s one of my closest pals.
Anyway, here it is, my Myspace Karaoke debut…. “in the style of Pat Benatar”.
I’m a little rusty but i’ll get better… haven’t had a sing-a-thon like this in ages (years). I LOVE SINGING!
Here’s my Project DOG update: I have close to 850 dogs now. It’s getting K-R-A-Y. My Twitter following is up to almost 4,000 and Facebook is up over 700! My little puppy (Project DOG) is growing up! I’m really excited because I found the perfect literary agent who I’m planning on pitching soon…. just a matter of time now!
This week was also exciting because I sent along a presentation to the first BIG company that I would like to work with on Project DOG. Think, vroom vroom… it would be so incredible if we could work together – I just need some gas and wheels to get around on (because I don’t have a car, I drive Zipcars)! I thank my work in fundraising for my fearlessness hahahaaa…
Otherwise I don’t have any major news. I’m going to be hanging some pet photos in a new veterinarian’s office so I’m headed down there again this week to measure the space and figure out placement, etc… will keep you posted on that.
Hope you’re having a fantastic week! Sorry it’s been so blah lately!
Your pal,
