This has gone too far

I love pageants, and I was watching on Sunday night when this went down. I knew at the time it was an "oh-snap" moment, but I am surprised that we as a country are taking it this far. I'm surprised at you, Perez Hilton. I don't usually like to get too political on this blog, and let's just say that my answer to the question would not have been the same as Miss California's, but after watching the above video I feel the need to share my thoughts about how this is being handled.

In regard to the answer itself, since when do we as Americans who are granted FREEDOM OF SPEECH have the right to tell someone that her opinion is wrong? Miss California had the right to express the views she did, but it was some of her justification that I had a problem with. She uses the word "choose" several times, notably "we live in a land that you can choose same sex marriage or opposite marriage." "Opposite" marriage flub aside, Miss California, we are not able to choose what type of marriage we want. First, only a small number of states allow same-sex marriage. Not many choices there. Secondly, if she was implying that you can choose whether you're attracted to the same or opposite sex, THAT I have a problem with. I have no problem with the latter part of her answer that most of the media is harping on where she states that she believes marriage should be between a man and a woman. She has the right to believe whatever she wants.

I expected this to get media attention, but with the numerous post-incident interviews and apologies and revoking of apologies, I am sick of this and disappointed that we can't just let bygones be bygones. Carrie Prejean, Miss California, is not our new Miss USA. Her views do not officially of unofficially represent that of our country and thus they do not effect you. Go to Alabama where people are expressing these same views, only without the spray tan, eloquence, and general respect for all people. Throw in the word "faggot" that still comes out of many people's mouths in 2009 and would still come out even with a camera in front of them, and then try to tell me that Miss California is a "bitch" and a "cunt". Perez, I am disappointed that you are treating this young woman in this manner. In your mind, there was only one right answer to your pageant question and since it wasn't given, anything else became offensive and scandal worthy. Very closed minded in my opinion. How dare we actually have a healthy debate of ideas? If we were all the same, life would be boring, and we wouldn't have "scandals" like this for people like Perez Hilton to get their panties in a bunch about.

So Carrie P, I'll have your back any day girlfriend.

VP of Hotness!

Yesterday I did the Hollywood Report with on "Me and Vinnie" on Sirius XM Stars Too with Vinnie Politan and the rest of the guys on his show (weekdays 6-9am East on Sirius 108/XM 139, always a good time). We were covering all of the celeb sightings, performances, and fashions at the inauguration, and I mentioned that I thought Joe Biden was sexy. Well, apparently this is was the first time they've ever heard anyone say that because they thought this was hysterical. They even went as far as to Photoshop a hilarious image of me daydreaming about Joe Biden. Am I way off base with this? Please tell me there are others out there who find Joe as sexy as I do so I don't feel like a political-pervert!

Mah b-day...and this little thing they called "the election"

So I’m not gonna lie, I was just a tad pissed that my b-day fell on the same day as one of the biggest elections our country has ever seen. After feeling neglected for most of the day on Tuesday, what’s a girl left to do but suck it up, try to have a good time watching the results, and get driz-unk?

Now, I do my patriotic duty and rock the vote, but I’m not a highly political person. However, I found myself becoming very involved in the excitement. It’s not every day that I get to scream out cab windows, celebrate with total strangers, and actually feel like people in New York City are getting along.

And I kinda loved the fact that on my bday, a friend of mine proposed an election watching party at one of my fav bars:

Fat Black Pussycat
West Village
130 West 3rd Street (b/w 6th Avenue and Macdougal Street)
New York, NY 10012
212-533-4790
www.thefatblackpussycat.com

In quirky West Village style, the Fat Black Pussycat manages to combine the best of every world. One room wood-clad local watering hole, one room sexy Moroccan lounge, and even a dance club downstairs at Village Underground. There’s never a dull moment at the Fat Black Pussycat between the cheeky name, old time photographs and videos, and unisex bathroom downstairs (ow-ow!). You must try one of their 30 delish and destructive specialty martinis at the very cheap price of $9. I recommend the Apple Pie Martini (just make sure the bartender knows you don’t want the run of the mill appletini…much confusion will ensue). If you have a moderately sized group of 15 or so, reserve the loft area in the Moroccan room and you’ll be in for a relaxed sexy time…or just a night where you can feel like a VIP with your friends without dropping a grand on bottle service. Whatever vibe you’re looking for, this place is certainly the cat’s meow.
