SOME QUEER L.A. HISTORY FOR YA -- BUT YOU'D NEVER GUESS IT WITH THIS LEGGY BEAUTY.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on cover art to a program for The Flamingo Club, c. 1947, formerly located at 1027 N La Brea Ave, West Hollywood, CA 90038, a gay bar that operated so openly that it advertised in the Los Angeles Times.
MINI-OVERVIEW: "The Flamingo Club opened in 1941, featuring drag shows for mixed straight and gay and lesbian audiences. It also hosted "tea dances" for its LGBT crowd on Sunday afternoons (Ben, Lisa, 1988). Beverly Shaw (who later owned her own nightclub Club Laurel in Studio City) performed here. One of the performers at the Flamingo was Carroll Wallace who was billed as “The Most Beautiful Boy in the World.”
It was closed when its license was denied in 1951, claiming "the club is a gathering place for undesirables." (LA Times, 18 April 1951)."

Beware of Vegetarian Shark
She’s helpful! Look, she’s helping! Now you can WIN Oke! Win at surfing! No need to thank her she’s just a common ordinary bunnyshark. Also good news Flora left behind this surfboard as a going away forever present! Bunnysharks are very trustworthy individuals I would take all of this at face value unquestioned.

Washing my hands in the men's toilets (as god made me) and an old guy walks in and sees me and gets confused, then sees a boy walk out of the stall, sighs of relief, and enters. Needless to say I just had the most euphoria I've had in a long time.
#Thanks random guy#I really needed that#I don't know if it was the long hair#The pink crocs#Or the pink flamingo shirt I was wearing#But I am never taking them off#help#undercooked-ice#eat the rich#badass#She gender on my dysphoria till I girl#It's the hips#I am a card holding member of the perfect ass club

New sticker designs for my monthly sticker club.
The theme for July is "It's Too Hot!" to honor the time of year when I don't leave my house until 5 pm to be safe from the sun's wrath.
Which design do you think my members will choose as the stick of the month?

NE MANCANO DUE
A pranzo dai miei, mio padre inizia a raccontare di quando era giovane. Alla fine degli anni ’50, neanche ventenne, lavorava come fattorino a Bologna. L’orario infernale era 7-12 più 21-24. Dormiva in una stanza con altri 4 per dividere le spese. Ancora oggi dice di non aver mai patito tanto freddo d'inverno come le notti in bicicletta a Bologna. Quando fu assunto come postino iniziò a fare il pendolare da Forlì. Prendeva il treno delle 5:25 di mattina, alle 7 entrava in turno e alle 9 usciva in bici per le consegne. A volte capitava il turno all'ufficio postale su via Emilia, a 10 km dalla stazione, tutti percorsi in bici prima di iniziare. Dopo pranzo riposava su un tavolo del magazzino, poi altre due ore di lavoro e un altro treno per tornare. Negli anni ’60 fu chiamato per il servizio militare negli alpini, ma il giorno prima della partenza fu assegnato all’aeronautica. Dopo il CAR a Orvieto finì alla base NATO di Napoli, una vera e propria cittadella autonoma con parchi, campi sportivi, cinema, negozi e locali come il Flamingo Club, con discoteca, slot machine e una sala concerti dove si esibì anche Louis Armstrong. Mio padre faceva l’attendente per un Generale italiano. La mattina andava in città dalla moglie di questo, che gli offriva il caffè e una sigaretta perché, diceva lei, "gli uomini devono fumare” poi, si faceva consegnare una lista e andava a far commissioni per le botteghe di Napoli. Pomeriggio libero alla base oppure in città a comprare sigarette, che a Napoli costavano pochissimo, per poi rivenderle una volta in licenza a Forlì. Gli ultimi mesi fu trasferito all’aeroporto militare di Miramare di Rimini, faceva il cameriere alla mensa dei piloti. Un pomeriggio, mentre era sul tetto con altri a prendere il sole, sentendo il rumore delle Frecce Tricolori che rientravano da un’esibizione, un pilota si alzò e disse “Ne mancano due.” Era il 5 maggio 1963, 2 dei 9 aerei della pattuglia acrobatica erano appena precipitati sopra Forlì, un pilota era morto e solo per puro caso era stata evitata una strage.

here's a small preview of a build i'm doing for a story i've had bouncing around in my head for a few months now
#ts4#the sims 4#show us your builds#took me a while to figure out rounded rooms. they look cool but my god. what a huge pain lmao#so i only used the rounded rooms for the entrance and to make a couple of dancing platforms. everything else is just angles#because those are nice and easy#i named this build the pink pony club (yes after that one chappell roan song. someone at a gw2 beach party recommended her and i've been#binge listening ever since) so uh... don't look too closely at the flamingos. they're just there because i have yet to find a neon horse lo#the story this build is for involves vampires. including vlad the vatore siblings and the portrait vampires (plus an oc of mine)#basic premise without too many spoilers: lilith wants vlad's head on a platter and caleb's trying to outsmart fae rules (w/ little success)
