I Have in my first few blogs come under hillarious and well intentioned fire....A s Sir Thomas Beachem said as elephants took a dump centre stage during a dress rehearsal....Critics.
But I do have to take note.....Having been lined up and shot with doughnuts all too often I have to take
on board....that my writing style might be like fortune cookies opened by a nine year old....or am I putting too much information....in letting the air out of my balast.
Now with no pretension to modern literature....and acting in Millenium Sound bites...I have come to realise...Keep it simple......
Keep it relevent
and make sure you can quote yourself......
So onward and upward......and ever the burlesque mind
yours......

modern shopping

While shuffling down the supermarket aisles you might wonder how the packaging let alone the marketing has changed over the last few decades....no longer is product shipped to the grocer to be weighed and bagged for sale...now we have, with few exceptions everything, wrapped in a plastic that with every best intention, will still fail to become environmentally friendly.....
how much land file do we have before we say enough
as much as i love a Big Mac .To be told that its a weight watchers special this week had me reeling...
but be grateful that the cardboard boxes will disintegrate in time....unlike your waste line
Now that the government of the day has no put an exception on gst for fresh produce.....is that an indication that we should be out in our own gardens.....for even basic items.
And for those who are rabid meat eaters....the butcher gives a better deal than a supermarket who is packaging plastic wrap with cuts that really in decades passed would have been cat food....the example is gravy beef.....now a stew item....and priced to match.....once cat food before we ended poisoning pussies with canned product.....
and how many plastic bags can you actually recycle
Food for all or Food for thought.....
go on...go to the supermarket...you know how easy the option is..contribute to the worlds landfill while you can

A vinyl memory/Mr Noel Mackay

I have searched the internet and somewhere there is a site that can let you download Mr Noel Mackay.
Drag artiste and Cabaret entertainer.
I have searched for any pic to share of this...the memorabilia from my lost childhood..
The album on vinyl held pride of place in my father's collection
Here were ribald songs sung live in cabaret rasp and were always brought out to entertain
on
my father's friday night entertainment.
The child seeing the weekly emptying out of the china cabinet to repeat chorus' of Johnnys Little Yoyo
And yet such was my father's admiration I have a memory of my father dressing for a summer concert
to his extended family of inlaws in my mother's swimsuit...and lip syncing his very best

It was years before this imprint may have had effect.
What was then a citadel of 'closet'New Zealand Homosexuality
The history of Auckland New Zealand.The Great Northern.Also known as the LilyPond.
The Station Hotel.The Dance floor for Cabaret Entertainment.
Venues in which Mr Noel Mackay's star shone brightly.
The El Matador where the gay entertainment abounded admidst late night drinking

To my father.Harmless entertainment.The impersonation to deliver it's ribald intent.
The naughty school boy.
To Gloriousole. An introduction....to a world of theatrical wonder.
It's in the delivery.Glamour can always be manufactured.
In this day and age it usually is.
True talent always has the ability to shine.
It's just hard to maintain with out the publicity
So here's to memory
from the Vinyl collection.......
Mr Noel Mackay
and very special coffees.
