I feel GREAT!!!

It's been a heckuva few weeks and things have kicked my butt but now things are on the upswing. Plus, last night we had an AMAZING lightning storm!! The skies were full of strikes and you could breathe in the power from the air...completely invigorating! I've been helping people out and it's cut into my sleep so I hadn't had the chance to recharge until the storm. The lightning was incredible and I have my energy back for now. I feel great

Luvsthom, Ms. Thomasulo - check your emails!

Hey girl, I did...and what can I say.......just what I needed today.....

I have't been around much lately due to computer trouble. I got it fixed today hooray. I was at club cafe as well my pics are up at http://home.comcast.net/~bostoncarebear/ws...home.html-.html

happy pride

Did you see the latest photo of THOMY on Str8girls site??? Is Thom getting more and more adorable looking?
Not just another babyface

Thanks so much for posting your pictures......my god are you lucky as is witchgirl......thank you, both of you.......now if one of them would PLEASE come to Baltimore........

I was surfing the tube over the weekend and landed on a tv show on Style network. It's under the Martha Stewart Living "umbrella" but it was called Wedding Party and the subject was Destination Weddings: The Bahamas. The show featured the wedding of James Dunning and Susan Magrino. To my shock, I spotted Greg Calejo among the guests and then.....drum roll.....there was Thom....in his tux, looking incredible! His name wasn't mentioned once...he was just included in the "....and as the guests began to arrive....". At first, I thought the connection could be that Thom and Martha have homes in the Hamptons and perhaps either Magrino or Dunning were neighbors (which is still a possiblility) but then I did a little snooping and found out that Susan Magrino is a publicist with her own company and so now the little wheels in my head are turning in the Greg Calejo/publicist direction. The part that gave my heart a twinge was that Thom called me on September 29th and the wedding was in the Bahamas on October 2nd. He had to have been in the process of making travel plans but took the time to call me which is super, super nice. I will sadly, pathetically admit that it was bittersweet to see him sitting next to Greg at the wedding.

Thanks for sharing....were there photos on this site.....

It was nice of Thom to take the time to call....what a sweet heart!!!

The subject line pretty much says it all. The Fab Five are being featured on a Celebrity Playlist on iTunes and you can buy all 74 of their favorite songs for 73 bucks. They have them separated into favorite songs of Ted, Jai, Kyan, Thom and Carson. If you've got iTunes, it should be right there at the top with a pic of the Fab Five when you enter the music store.

Off topic, not even Queer Eye subject, but just read that Michael Jackson has been acquitted on all 10 counts.
And the screechers, homophobes, radical conservatives are concerned about the openly Gay/Lesbian population being around kids? I'm sick!
One can only hope that acquittal or not NO other parent will consider leaving their young son at Neverland. Any parent that does is really only committing child abuse by proxy.
And that's my humble opinion--

Oh, Deb....you are a ghodess!!! Thank you, thank you! Let me know what weekend you're available and I'll borrow the love slave equipment from Kord and Marina........okay, never mind! But you do have my undying love!!!!! I would love to see Thom's comments if you have a way of sending them to me and find yourself with time to kill some day, but I understand if it's a pain in the butt.

Love, Muffy
......oops, sorry....I mean, Tomasulo

Okay thanks to EasternBird on Str8girl's site here is everyone's tunes and comments:

Ted Allen

"In no particular order"

"Words'" (Track 1): "You gotta love anthemic Britpop."

'"Driftwood'" (Track 2): "You gotta love really fey, anthemic Britpop."

'"Bend & Break'" (Track 3): "You gotta love really, really fey, really, really anthemic Britpop. This whole album is so soaring and pretty."

"We Used to Be Friends'" (Track 4): "Picking one Dandys song is a tough call -I love everything they have ever done, in all their snarky, rockin', originality, grand scale, and decadent cooler-than-you-ness. I could pick 'Godless,' 'Plan A,' 'I Am a Scientist,' or 'I Am Over It' just as easily, but nothing seems to sum up the beautifully clever snottiness of this band as, 'A long time ago, we used to be friends. But I haven't thought of you lately at all.' On the other hand, this line from 'Solid' has always been a fave of mine, too:

Yeah, l've got a beautiful new Asian girlfriend. She comes over and hangs around for days in my bed. I mean, you can't seriously believe I'm thinking about you, man."'

'"Handshake Drugs'" (Track 5): "Best song on the new album. Except for 'Company in My Back.' Nobody writes smarter, sadder, better songs about people you love and also want to kill. I can't believe I lived in Chicago for 1 3 years and was too stupid to go see the band that would eventually become my favorite band."

'"She's a Jar'" (Track 6): "Best song they ever recorded, and that's saying a lot. The smartest, saddest, most interesting song Tweedy has written about people you love and also want to kill."

'"Step Into My Office, Baby" (Track 7): "The jolliest song about sexual harassment that I can think of. Wry, witty, and - you're gonna sense a theme, here, soon - deliciously fey."

'"Homesick'" (Track 8): "Speaking of fey ... but God, it's beautiful. Nouveau Simon & Garfunkel acoustic folk, but Euro. Note: The photograph on the album cover shows the artists playing chess on the floor. I mean ... "

'"Call Me Mellow'" (Track 9): "My favorite song from an amazing new album from a band that everybody should still be paying attention to. Purty, jangly, gorgeous harmonies. Sgt. Pepper-y in a really good way."

'"Keep Moving'" (Track 10): "Sleek and chic, like everything Ivy has recorded."

'"Alzheimer's'" (Track 11): "Why do I keep forgetting your name? Maybe I never liked you anyway.' Dark, dark fu n ... "

'"Mona Lisa'" (Track 12): "Smart, cool, real rock. Any band that plays with Jackson Browne at John Varvatos parties is cool by me."

'"Up with People'" (Track 13): "Brilliant, subtle, weird and beautiful. Dark and joyful. (Thank God I'm not a rock critic - all these vague adjectives aren't very helpful, but I'm serious about them). I adore everything this band has ever recorded. They're from Nashville. I think there are about 75 of them."

'"There She Goes'" (Track 14): "It is completely impossible to not be happy when you play this song. And none of the cover versions have ever come close to this one, the original. Which is to say that I really wish people would stop trying to cover it."

'"Run Run Run'" (Track 15): "Cute, cool, young band from France; a great, fresh, laconic, sophisticated sound."

'"The Shining'" (Track 16): "The perfect opening suite to a rich, dense, fascinating album, front to back. Buy it."

"Warning Sign'" (Track 17): "Of course all of their songs are amazing. Somehow it seems as if this band will be around as long as U2, doesn't it? "

"Warning Sign'" (Track 18): "Different song from the Coldplay bit above. From More Songs A bout Buildings and Food. Like a triptych with the two songs that come before it on the album."

'"Krafty"" (Track 19): "Sweet, dopey lyrics that don't make any sense, that great, high-register stuff from Peter Hook's bass, pretty guitar chords. New classic New Order."

Jai Rodriguez

"Okay, so my playlist is all pop and R&B. I know the other guys are more rock driven, so this list is a shout out to all my top 20 lovers."

'"Get Right'" (Track 20): "This is on at least once a day, not just cause I Love J. Lo but the song makes me move. And the hip-hop mix is so HOT!"

'"Ryde or Die'" (Track 21): "Love this song 'cause Jennifer really does some pretty runs and licks in this. It's sweet but the hook and melody in the chorus snag me."

'"Guantanamera'" (Track 22): "Get on your feet, Gloria Estefan - Sorry. My mom made me dance with her to this song often, growing up."

""Valentine'" (Track 23): "What? This song breaks my heart. Love it! Love it!"

'"Lose My Breath'" (Track 24): "These ladies are hot and super sweet. Their sound makes me wanna shake my body in a bootilicious way."

'"Caught Up'" (Track 25): "I love him. Saw him at the Kentucky Derby and was too shy to say hello. The runs on the word 'so' slay me. His vocals make me wanna sing."

'"This Time I Know It's for Real'" (Track 26): "This is a song I remember hearing in my mom's car over and over on long trips. I love it."

'"No More Drama'" (Track 21): "I was going through a break up when this song came out. It will forever be my anthem."

'"P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)"" (Track 29): "God I love him. He taught me how to sing."

'"Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours'" (Track 29): "What a voice on Stevie. Who wouldn't want someone to pledge this vow to them. It very romantic, yet upbeat."

'"Hollaback Girl'" (Track 30): "Sometimes I just wanna be Gwen Stefani. This song is the closest I am going to get to that, in my bathroom mirror with a hairbrush."

'"Baby, Get Lost'" (Track 31): "I love Dana Owens' sound. It's real pure and not affected. It brings jazz to a new generation. I love it."

'"He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat)'" (Track 32): "I did RENT with Jill Scott and she would play songs she was writing. I don't think any of us knew how famous she would become. I listen to these songs now and remember her playing songs on her guitar in that Vancouver hotel room."

'"Everwanting: To Want You to Want'" (Track 33): "I love this whole album. But be warned, if this song is playing and you are lying in bed with your partner, you will end up pregnant."

Kyan Douglas

""World Leader Pretend'" (Track 34): "R.E.M. will always evoke a strong sense of nostalgia for (me) because of the significance of the time in my life that I was first turned on to their music. I was leaving high school and all that that represents and coming in to my own life for the first time. World Leader Pretend,' for me is an anthem for self-discovery and autonomy."

'"Poses'" (Track 35): "It is almost impossible for me to put in to words why these songs, any song, move me and what they mean to me. It is especially hard to express why Rufus' work is so moving. His verses and music are hauntingly beautiful and truthful. Poses exposes our mixed up priorities."

'"This Woman's Work'" (Track 36): "Kate Bus h 's Sensual World will also always evoke a sense of nostalgia for me. It reminds me of my friend Pam. 'This Woman's Work' is about, for me, the deep sorrow of our mistakes, and missed opportunities. It's a sad song."

'"Radio Ga Ga'" (Track 31): "This is just one of those songs I will always love because it represents an era and has a distinct sound and feel. Freddie Mercury is missed ... "

'"Love Will Tear Us Apart'" (Track 39): "How many nights did I spend on a dance floor with this song? When I was turned on to Joy Division, it was an epiphany. There was nothing like it on the radio where I grew up."

'"Sunday Bloody Sunday" (Track 39): "A classic for my generation. I loved the drums. I loved the strength and passion of this song. Something I would come to love in many of U2's songs and later in Bono's humanitarian work."

'"Movies of Myself '" (Track 40): "Rufus Wainwright's voice and lyrics are addictive. This is one of my favorite of his songs."

""You Are the Everything'" (Track 41): "This song reminds me of road trips to Texas. I was in my early twenties when it came out. I remember long flat highways with green fields on either side and red sun sets."

'"I Touch Roses'" (Track 42): "This song reminds me of being a senior in high school and dating a girl in college. She loved this song and I thought I was so cool for having a girlfriend in college. Oh well."

'"Jane Says'" (Track 43): "Another song of nostalgia. This one reminds me of Tallahassee, Fl." '"Space Age Love Song'" (Track 44): "Wow, the eighties. Flock of Seagulls is the ultimate eighties band. This song reminds me of the dance floor at CPA on 'straight nights' in Tallahassee."

'"Dream On'" (Track 45): "Aerosmith is arguably the best American rock band ever. This song is a classic right up there with 'Hotel California' by the Eagles. It reminds me of my childhood and adolescence."

'"Good Times'" (Track 46): "This song is just good, psychedelic fun. Easy going and smooth. Not to be taken too seriously."

'"Planet Queen'" (Track 41): "I love T-Rex and this is one of my favorites."

'"Sing Your Life'" (Track 49): "The Smiths and Morrissey represent an era for me, youth. I love the upbeat, airy feel of this song."

'"Rhiannon'" (Track 49): "This is a classic. I love Stevie's voice and here it is at its best."

Thom Filicia

"Wish You Were Here'" (Track 50): "I swear I thought it was a cigarette."

"Box of Rain'" (Track 51): "My crunchy preppy years."

"Gone'" (Track 52): "Driving to the lake."

"Somebody Told Me'" (Track 53): "Someone left this album in my car ... and I love it!"

"Take It Easy" (Track 54): "Upstate New York."

"Sunday Bloody Sunday" (Track 39): "Summer camp with my girlfriend Muffy. (True)."

"Radio'# 1'" (Track 55): "I feel like I'm floating."

"Yellow'" (Track 56): "One of my favorite bands AND one of my favorite colors."

"Alec Eiffel'" (Track 51): "I think the person that left the Killers album in my car also left the Pixies ... thanks!"

"This Is the House that Jack Built'" (Track 59): "Summer of '92, Nantucket."

"Peace Frog'" (Track 59): "My favorite band, named after an important element found in architecture."

"Rapper's Delight'" (Track 60): "I'm not as Old as Ted, but I am Old School."

Carson Kressley

"Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves," (Track 61): "I like the new Cher, the Classic Cher, and everything in between. This one tells a great story ... just Whose perfume was it? Ah, gentle listener, tune in and find out!"

"Summer Fling," (Track 62): "one phrase in this song sums it all up: Kennedy Flair. Makes me think Of summer on the cape, madras and margaritas."

"Dancing Queen," (Track 63): "Dude, Swede! This one always makes me feel good. Anytime any Place. Guaranteed to make you sing along in your car like a major dork."

"Flawless (Go to the City)'" (Track 64): "originally done by the Ones, Will give everyone the thrill of being chased by paparazzi. Good times. Good times."

"Filthy Gorgeous," (Track 65): "Who says filthy can't be gorgeous? It's dirty and Clean all at the same time. Oh, the irony."

"Taylor, the Latte Boy" (Track 66): "Who would have thought love would be so caffeinated?"

"Rich Girl'" (Track 61): "Inspired by a showtune from Fiddler on the Roof. Sexy, updated and hot. Maybe they should do it for Fiddler on the Roofies."

"The Wonder Of It All'" (Track 69): "The gay anthem for summer '05'. Ask for this one at your favorite tea dance. If you have to ask What a tea dance is, you probably won't like it."

"These Words'" (Track 69): "More British dance flava. Groovy and not too hard. Just the way I like it. Except for the not too hard part."

"Sand In My Shoes," (Track 10): "Makes me wanna hit the beach ... or stay home and cry."

"Emotional Rollercoaster'" (Track 11): "The name says it all."

"Send In the Clowns," (Track 12): "Okay, just seeing if you are paying attention. My bad."

"Goodies," (Track 13): "AS the song says, ,If you're looking for my goodies / Keep on looking, cuz they stay in the jar. Words to live by!"

"Glamorous Life:" (Track 14): "Ghetto fab started here, people."

I think that about does it..

Deb

My bad. Glad you reminded me, Deb....a great big thank you to EB, too! (Boy, those sex toys are going to get a workout!)

raindog: I'm SO glad you said that about Send In The Clowns. I used to love Judy Collins and Joan Baez. See, Thom.....I'm even more Old School than you, Pumpkin!

I almost poked myself in the nose with a chopstick (I had sushi for lunch) when I was reading Thom's comments. There's a scene in my screenplay where Thom and Devon are driving to the lake, but I hadn't suggested a background song for that scene.....and now Thom has unwittingly done it for me...Gone by Jack Johnson!

For some reason it doesn't surprise me that Thom dated some one named Muffy....unless Thom is having have fun with us.....

Ok it says its true he dated a Muffy.....but remember some of his past comments...about houses (his) and the ocean...I hear Thom laughing....

Aw mannnn... are you telling me I didn't get tomasulo as a love slave!?!?!? *pout pout* This sucks.

Hey, this might go better in the hints and tips thread, but does anyone have any good tips for getting half-taken out paint stains from carpet? I kinda made a mess today painting my wall a beautiful teal... and now I have a huge blue spot (half of the blue is most likely from my blue Dawn dishsoap that I used when I was out of Oxy).

Notevayas,
As always a reasoned and well thought out response to my impulsive reaction.
You are quite right on all counts, I fear. (The fact that young celebs like MacCaully Culkins and Emmanuel Lewis weigh in on the innocent side (I know, EM wasn't called or consulted on this case specifically) is more fuel for the idea that MJ may not victimize boys who have status/money). Actually, I've always wondered about way back when (you must have been but a boy yourself, Notey) when MJ attached himself so closely to the young boy who had AIDS, Ryan White.
But I still contend that the next parent who actually allows, encourages his/her child to become one of Michael's pets is just as guilty of child abuse and the parent who abuses the child him/herself.
RE your comments about Sally Hemming, again--spot on and so interesting!
I wonder why adults (like Lisa Marie, and his other 'wife' Debbie) won't speak up. I suppose it's a losing battle. But what kind of coercion could he have especially for Lisa Marie? Just curious.
Cheers,
