Have you seen the Christmas flasher?

Preparations for Christmas festivities are creating an air of expectation and excitement around Huckleberry Close this morning, and I couldnā€™t help noticing that next door people seemed to be stopping by at my neighbor, Marjoryā€™s house looking at the rather imposing Christmas decorations in front of her house. A truly excited sense of seasonal cheer …

Auntie Kittieā€™s Christmas Diary – 2022-12-24

Iā€™ve popped over to Fionaā€™s place to give her my diary entry. As luck would have it sheā€™s having a little soiree and the liquor cabinet is unusually accessible. Iā€™ve just dropped in to give Fiona this message. So, as you may have guessed I am back from visiting St. Bernedetteā€™s School For Gurls. You …

Let’s get this Christmas Season started.

Itā€™s Christmas in Vancouver, and weā€™re enjoying some of the great local drag performers. These clips come from some of my members and friends who have been at The Junction ( http://www.junctionpub.com/ ) and The Fountainhead pub ( https://thefountainheadpub.com/ ), two of the top locations on Davie Street, Vancouver. I do not know the names of all the performers, …

Auntie Kittie wants you to look your best for the Christmas season.

“What could be more perfect,” said Auntie Kittie as she sat in my kitchen and topped up her sherry, “than having some of my nieces and nephews over before Christmas for a little party.” Katia Thornwood looked up from where she was writing in her journal. “A costume party.

It’s going to be a surreal Christmas, but I’m here to lend a hand.

What a very strange Christmas itā€™s sure to be this year. Normally by now I would have enjoyed our Christmas Curling League, where I often help out at the local recreation centre. Thereā€™s few things I find more enjoyable that scoring with the boys in the club. I have all the statistics for the members, …

The Fiona Dobson Playlist – your background music for Christmas.

Many years ago… well, eight years ago, I started writing the Fiona Dobson newsletters and blog. In the early ones I would embed a Youtube video now and then, that often touched in to the themes of the newsletters. That’s how the Fiona Dobson Playlist came in to being. I add to it from time …

I need some new eyeshadow for my third eye!

ā€œPush your bum back a bit,ā€ said Sebastian, maneuvering behind me. ā€œOh, Sebastian,ā€ I said, perspiration dripping from my brow. ā€œThatā€™s better,ā€ he said pressing his hand into the small of my back. As you probably know, Sebastian is my personal trainer. We often do yoga sessions together. Some of these yoga positions are really …

A jailbird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

ā€œThere is no way,ā€ I said to Amanda, my wifeā€™s awful friend. ā€œOh, please,ā€ she begged. ā€œJust pretend.  I mean, really, you can pull it off.ā€ ā€œAnd Iā€™m not ā€˜pulling him offā€™, either!ā€ I protested. ā€œLook,ā€ she insisted, ā€œall Iā€™m asking is that you hang out with us. I promised!ā€ ā€œYou set him up on …
