Miss Mint Julep 2009 (brief recap), Jukebox Wednesday and Where In The World Is Kaye Sedilla?

It has been a very, very busy week and I have photos to share but I haven't downloaded them yet and not sure when I will get a chance to do so! OY!

Sunday was the 7th Annual Miss Mint Julep Contest. Miss Ginger Grant has done a great recap here.

This event is known for launching the career of many performers. Seven years ago, Kaye Sedilla made her debut and the entertainment world has never been the same. This year, Kitty Kash made her debut and brought down the house! She even did an encore and being true to her name, she brought in the cash. These photos are from Bryan H.

Speaking of Kaye Sedilla, she sent her 1/2-brother Ben Chilada and The Chimichangas to perform on her behalf.

Nasty rumors were floating around the BRB about the whereabouts of Kaye Sedilla. It has been noted before that Kaye is in rehab in Palm Springs. However, someone stated that she is being detained there because she has been slinging tortillas at the other residents. Someone else said that she really isn't in Palm Springs but that she has been deported because she was caught smuggling wigs and falsies. I overheard someone else say that Kaye was being detained in Palm Springs because she can't pay her bill. Now THAT is probably the truth.

This was seen on the side of milk cartons that were at the BRB. Do think we can find Kaye and bring her back in 2010?

Jukebox Wednesday is dedicated to Kitty Kash. You can view the real video (which won't let me post it) here
or below you can view Katy Perry performing Waking Up In Vegas.

Jukebox Wednesday

I actually had another song selected for today's Jukebox Wednesday. However, since this is Pride month I thought I would select one of the anthems. There are several recordings of this song that I like. Gloria Gaynor does a "get off your feet and dance to beat" version of the song. The Original Cast recording from La Cage Aux Folles is good too. However, my favorite recording that I couldn't find on YouTube is by Linda Eder. That lady belts it out like it was meant to be sung.

I chose this song today because the other day at Miss Ginger's Roundup, someone decided to perform and wanted this song. I was outside and someone came running up to me asking if I had this on a cd in my car? Believe it or not, the answer was, "No." And then I looked at Kevin in wonderment as to why I don't have it in my car on a cd? I have several versions on the iPod.

So for your listening (and viewing pleasure), here is John Barrowman singing, I Am What I Am. Enjoy!

Miss Ginger's Roundup

Noted performer, philanthropist, fundraiser and lady about town, Miss Ginger Grant held a fundraiser yesterday for Legacy Community Health Services. I still don't understand the math, even if Miss Ginger did give a math lesson, on how rounding up would raise more money but it worked and Miss Ginger has reported via her blog that $10,000 was raised.

Not only did Miss Ginger Grant round up some money, she rounded a gaygle of performers to assist with the endeavor. The glitterati and fashionistas flocked to the BRB to be a part of the crowd. As you can see by the photos, a good time was had by all.

From the home office on Roy Street in NoRO, Str8 Up With A Twist says, "SAAAA-LUTE Miss Ginger Grant!" You're the best.
