Varla Jean Merman and Jackie Beat Do Broadway and Palin

Filed under: Drag Queens,Non Wedding — Tags: , , — rollerbladerdc @ 11:32 pm

Its been a while since I’ve posted any fun drag queen videos so I figured its about time to catch up and post a couple new ones that I haven’t seen before.  The reminder that I haven’t done any drag queen videos for a long time came because of a rumor I heard that they are making a sequel to my favorite movie, Girls will be girls starring Evie Harries, Varla Jean Merman and Coco Peru.  (How’s that for proper english and run-ons.)

This first video is of my favorite drag queen Varla Jean Merman.  We all know that Varla can sing Opera and has an amazing voice.  The thing that we didn’t know was that she can hit above a high C which is almost impossible.  Watch out Hugh, Varla may be coming to broadway to take over the leading lady in Phantom with this note, while wearing a Bernadette Peters Into the Woods Styled Gown!

But before we play the Varla Jean Merman’s magic flute video…I think we need to see Varla Jean Merman in her new Fleet Enema Video.  Yup, along with every other commercial jingle and video that we have seen from her in our Varla Jean Merman week, there is a brand new song out there dedicated to non other than Fleet Enemas.  Patti Lupone, eat your heart out, Varla’s coming to Anything Goes as well…and with Fleet, Gabriel won’t be the only thing that blows (sorry I had to).

Our next video is one from famous singer and song writer, Jackie Beat.  Not only is Jackie friends with celebrities like Margaret Cho, but she also loves to sing about other celebrities like Sarah Palin.  In this fabulous tribute to Sarah, Jackie helps to give her book Going Rouge a great big push……………….out the door.  Not only is this video by Jackie Beat fabulous, but it kicks all of the other Going Rouge Madonna Vogue spoofs butts.  Here is Jackie Beat Goin Rouge Sarah Palin Book tribute. I do have to warn you that the song doesn’t get good until after the first minute or first minute and a half but is worth watching regardless.   If you get a chance to see Jackie Beat in concert go.  Her shows are not only funny but she has just as much stage presence as Carol Channing or Barbara Streisand.

Varla Jean Merman Loves Lots of Things

Filed under: Non Wedding — Tags: , — rollerbladerdc @ 8:57 pm

This post is brought to you by 4 Poppers. Just so you know, GayWeddingGear.com does not support the use of Poppers or promote Poppers in any way besides this sponsorship which ties in fabulous. Watch the video below to understand why. =0).

I got an email from a friend today and all it was was a quote.

“You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

This quote was like holy crap.  That is amazing and completely true.  I don’t think it just applies to love with a person though.  If you love a trip or vacation, love your new job, love your new pet or even love your new body if you have been going to the gym or the new outfit you get to wear to the white party this spring and summer you know what this quote is talking about.

When things are going really well for you, sometimes sleep isn’t neccesary and sometimes you would rather stay awake because everything is going so well for you.   Oddly enough though, this quote came from an extremely unexpected source, it came from Dr.  Suess.

He came up with things like One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish (That was for you lesbians), and tons of our favorite childhood stories and characters like the Grinch or the Cat in the Hat.  Everyone knew he was a genius but who knew he could come up with a quote like the one above.

“You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” ~ Dr. Suess
This quote is amazing and insane and completely a way to really think about love and if you are in love.  Staying with my Varla Jean Merman theme for this week, I was watching a commercial for things she loves in the commercial, (I cannot actually say she loves these things in real life, but it does look like she loves them in the commercial.  If you want to know if she really does love them, you’ll have to ask her for yourself), and some things that she loves like Onstar because Onstar helped keep her from getting into trouble with the authorities because of the things she loves in the commercial.


As I said, the above statements are only related to the video and I am in no way saying that the fabulous and fierce drag queen diva Varla Jean Merman enjoys the things from the video, Onstar or anything else. These are just my opinions of what it appears she loves in her fake commercial. We love your Varla and your commercial is fabulous!

Valra Jean Merman and St. Patricks Day Party Post

Filed under: Non Wedding — Tags: , , — rollerbladerdc @ 1:49 am

Ok, I am sitting here, it is after 9pm and it is also St. Patricks Day.  Not only am I debating whether I should be responsible and stay home, get work done and get a few blog posts in, or go out and party my ass off, and by that I mean have one or two drinks and head home for bed.  God I hate getting old.  Well at least growing up, I’ll never be older than, well, 22 or 25 when I hit 50.  Anyways, it is weird when my friends all are getting married, some have kids and most of then can’t go out on nights like tonight like we used to.

Most of us just don’t care about the bars anymore, I have cabin fever so I am dying to go somewhere, and the ones who have kids always use the excuse that they can’t find a baby sitter.  That is the biggest load of crap on earth.  There are tons of homeless people and drug addicts you can let into your house to watch the kids for a few hours and the best part is they’ll work for scratch (yes the drug reference is intended….mirror scratch, snort, etc…) ;-) .

Anyways, I don’t buy the excuse that I can’t go out because I have kids and responsibilities now.  I can’t find anyone and I am to old for the bars.  Well hunny listen here, 1.  None of us are to old for a St. Patricks Day Cocktail 2.  Green is a fabulous color and 3.  If you use the bullsh*t excuse that you can’t find a babysitter, you obviously weren’t trying hard enough.

I went to my favorite busy gal on the go (quote from Girls will be Girls starring the Fabulous Evie Harris, Varla Jean Merman and Coco Peru), and found the perfect solution for you.  Varla Jean’s Nanny Queen Babysitting Service.

Not only are Nanny Queens semi trained and semi professional, they are also very educational for your kids and will keep them up to date on all quintisential gay icons.  Just ask Varla by watching her Commercial for Nanny Queen.

Anyways,this post was meant as a joke and you should never let a homeless person, a stranger or a drug addict in your house or watch your kids.  That would be plain stupid.  The only thing real in this post is that I am really dying for a cocktail and am debating heading out to the bar for a quick St. Partrick’s Day cocktail.  Not that green beer crap but a diet drink for a skinny girl or a Raspberry Vodka and Club Soda or a Michelob Ultra or a Vodka Diet.  The other drink I love but is hard to find is a vanilla vodka or regular vodka with a Diet Jones or Calorie Free Jones Soda or Calorie Free Jones Cream Soda.

Jones Soda makes a ton of really good calorie free sodas and if they have them at the store when I go, I usually buy them instead of the major brands we all know.  That also isn’t a lie.  I actually love and prefer the calorie free Jones Sodas to other leading brands and if they don’t have that then it is back to other Diet sodas.

Anyways, enjoy the Varla Jean Merman Nanny Queen Commercial and don’t follow any of the advice in this post.  Happy St. Patricks Day.

If you don’t agree with US Politics Listen to Varla Jean Merman

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , — rollerbladerdc @ 1:13 am

So there has been a lot of issues lately around the gays.  I’ve seen it when I traveled and other Countries making fun of us for being so far behind the times with technology, Female Politicians and especially for Gay Marriage when they find out I run this blog.  The thing is you don’t have to agree with them, you don’t have to even acknowledge them and you can completely do the American thing and snub them and brag about how great our Country really is.  You can also point out all of the flaws with their Country as well.

Think about it, it is not only rude that they are ripping apart the USA when it really isn’t any of their business so why shouldn’t you be able to fight back?  It’s not rude, it is showing pride for you Country!

The other thing is that we are constantly progressing.  We have a Black President, we had a Woman run and almost win the Presidential Ticket, we had one Win the VP ticket for the Republican Ticket and even more importantly we are getting our rights in more and more States to be able to get married.

Now, suppose you aren’t the confrontational type.  You like to sit back and just have fun, especially if you are on vacation.  Why not take a different approach?

I’m personally not one for Politics and I cannot tell you the difference between any of them.  I only care about who will do what is best for us as a people and pass gay marriage.  When I’m on vacation or traveling abroad I always end up with someone ripping me apart for being an American and you know what, I’m tired of it.  I want to enjoy my flight and my vacation.  Not have someone insult me on it and try to ruin part of it so that is why I would like to share one of my very favorite solutions to this issue via one of my favorite Drag Queens, the great, the fabulous, the amazing Miss Varla Jean Merman and her solution to what happens if tempers flare while abroad because you are American.

Love you Varla!

Pearl Necklaces, all kinds and we mean all kinds

Filed under: Jewelry — Tags: , , , , — rollerbladerdc @ 1:29 am

Ok, I was watching a comedy show today and one of my favorite Drag Queen Actresses Varla Jean Merman who we all remember from Girls will be Girls, Project Runway and a ton of other shows and movies sang a song all about one of my very favorite wedding things, a Pearl Necklace.

(Scroll underneath the video BTW to shop for an actually buy Pearl Necklaces).

Now, with that said, her pearl necklace is a little bit different than the one you probably want to wear for your wedding day (who knows about the wedding night) but hey, her pearl necklace and your pearl necklace do have some things in common if you think about it.  Both can come on strands, both are all natural and both should be white for your wedding lol.  Ok, sorry I couldn’t resist but this sond had me cracking up and since I run a wedding site and also missed a Friday post, I figured why not have fun and post a funny music video of Valra Jean Merman This Girl This Girl Needs Her Pearl Necklace Song and then share some actual pearl necklaces with you all for your wedding.

Enjoy the video of Varla Jean Merman’s Pearl Necklace Song and then scroll down below to buy your own pearl jewelry.

Ok, so here’s the deal with Pearl NecklacesPearl Necklaces are not only classy and classic for weddings, but they are also one of the most traditional wedding gems on earth.  I always think of gorgeous pearl necklaces when I think of a bride and for lesbians in suits who don’t want a strand of pearls on their chest or around their neck (sorry had to) there are pearl studded earrings.  Regardless of how you look at it, Pearl Jewelry is one of the most amazing and classic types of jewelry you can have and wear with your wedding attire. However, if you aren’t into traditional weddings but still love pearls and pearl necklaces, I found an online Jewelry Store that carries some amazing designs in Pearl Necklaces for all types of brides and in all styles.

They have your traditional strands and tier drop pearl earrings, but they also have misshapen pearls, designed strands, off color and champagne pearls, peacock pearls to accent a white dress with colored trim and pretty much everything else you could ever want or love with pearl necklaces and pearl wedding jewelry.

Anyways, I saw the Varla Jean Merman Pearl Necklace Song on Youtube and had to share it and to tie it into weddings I wanted to share one of my very favorite online pearl jewelry stores.  Click any of the links below to visit my favorite online wedding pearl jewelry store and find the perfect pearl necklace for your wedding.
