Monday Meme: Music

Proulx meme

 

Hear that? That’s the sound of Monday in the background. Author E. Annie Proulx,the genius behind both The Shipping News and Brokeback Mountain, provides the prose for today’s meme. And we couldn’t agree more. While we can’t have a swelling orchestra follow us around today, maybe we can rock out to the radio during our drive home or tap our toes while to whatever’s playing at the grocery store. Hope you find time to do the same!

Got an event, anniversary or special occasion coming up? We’ve got cards for that! Check them out here. 

Monday Meme: Dance

dance meme

Monday. The mere word doesn’t exactly inspire us to dance in the streets, does it? Yet for this week’s Monday Meme, we’re deferring to the wisdom of poet, novelist and playwright Gertrude Stein. After all, the lady knew a thing or two about living life to its fullest. Stein’s brazen style and bold tales of lesbian romance we’re some of the first of their kind back when they caused a publishing sensation in the early 1900’s. Plus, her friendships with the world’s best artists and writers in Paris have gone to inspire generations of creative types searching for “La Boheme.”

Life’s short so we might as well shake our tail feathers while we can!

Monday Meme: Wonderful

fierstein meme

Raspy-voiced Broadway performer Harvey Fierstein is often cast for comic relief in big-budget Hollywood films. But make no mistake about it, Fierstein is a Tony-winning powerhouse and a highly influential voice in the LGBT community. From Hairspray to Kinky Boots to Torch Song Trilogy and beyond, Fierstein has been part of some of the biggest Broadway hits of the last 30 years. Fierstein also uses his platform to speak out against inequality and writes frankly on LGBT issues. So we thought what better way to kick off the week than words of wisdom from the man himself? Wonderful!

Quote of the Gay – Violet Trefusis (author)

“You are my lover and I am your mistress and kingdoms ad empires ad governments have tottered and succumbed before now to that mighty combination”

Violet Trefusis (1894-1972, Author)

Quote of the Gay – Fran Lebowitz

“Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a Lesbian.”
