Bonjour les Darlings!
VanJam and Booker Mary have just returned from a wonderful trip to Montréal for the famed and fabulous Just For Laughs comedy festival! We saw some great shows, ate some delicious meals, and watched the beginning scene of Magic Mike 3: Magic Mike’s Last Dance several times in the wee small hours of the morning, and then enjoyed rotating fantasy’s/space work of embodying the energy of either Channing/Mike (strong good puppy) or Selma/“Maxandra” (confident, calm, wildly strong and sensual) Our takeaways from the trip? Our AirBnB host should absolutely be ashamed of herself (yuck!), the city is bursting with charm and beautiful signage, and we’re so lucky to have so many absolute next-level Dynasty Darlings shining on the world’s stage. Looking at the programming, we were so proud of how many of these wonderful artists have expressssed themselves at our place in LA. Home weird home!
In opposite-of-Channing-Tatum-news, we've just learned the world lost Paul Reubens today. There's no doubt that our shared love of silliness, absurdity, enchantment, and satire was profoundly influenced by Pee Wee Herman. The big adventure, the big top, and the playhouse were all on repeat throughout our childhoods and beyond. And we'll never forget trying to tame our excitement as we served him DynaPop! before one of our shows a few years ago. RIP to an absolute legend! To celebrate, we'll be doing a *FREE SCREENING* of the movie where he searches for his two wheeled mode of transportation this Saturday night at 10PM! Click here to RSVP!
Now, let's take a look at what’s happenin’ at our house this week!
