darker times

they’re telling boulder heavy lies

looks like all we’ve got is each other 

the truth is obsolete

remember when all i had was my mother 

she didn’t compromise

she could recognize 

voodoo 

our daughters and our sons 

are just candles in the sun

voodoo

don’t let him see divide 

don’t you let her see divide

voodoo

she’s got the whole wide world in her juicy fruit 

he’s got the whole wide world in his pants

he wrapped the whole wide world in a wedding band 

then put the whole wide world on her hands

she’s got the whole wide world in her hands 

he’s got the whole wide world in his hands.

It’s that time of year again, and I know where I want to take my Valentine: the Sissy Sweetheart Ball featuring Big Freedia, Katey Red, Jean-Eric, and Rusty Lazer!   

You don’t want to miss your chance to see the Queen Diva, Big Freedia, and the original, Katey Red.  DJ Jean-Eric, will perform a fantasmic mix of loungey-goodness to warm everyone up, and Nicky Da B and JC Styles will open, with local fav Rusty Lazer providing the beats.

If you love someone, show them - how much you like to bop that booty.
