SUNDAY'S TEA SALON

who's joining me for tea? sunday, november 7th~ 2:30pm til 5:30pm @ H.WOOD in the hollywood/highland complex.
in honor of our 3rd tea salon, here are some famous tea quotes to live by~

Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea. ~Henry Fielding, "Love in Several Masques"

Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company. ~Author Unknown

Each cup of tea represents an imaginary voyage. ~Catherine Douzel


I always fear that creation will expire before teatime. ~Sydney Smith


Drinking a daily cup of tea will surely starve the apothecary. ~Chinese Proverb



There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea. ~Bernard-Paul Heroux


Bread and water can so easily be toast and tea. ~Author Unknown


If you are cold, tea will warm you. If you are too heated, it will cool you. If you are depressed, it will cheer you. If you are excited, it will calm you. ~Gladstone, 1865

Tea is a cup of life. ~Author Unknown



There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea. ~Henry James


Another novelty is the tea-party, an extraordinary meal in that, being offered to persons that have already dined well, it supposes neither appetite nor thirst, and has no object but distraction, no basis but delicate enjoyment. ~Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

If man has no tea in him, he is incapable of understanding truth and beauty. ~Japanese Proverb


Tea is liquid wisdom. ~Anonymous

Tea...is a religion of the art of life. ~Okakura


All true tea lovers not only like their tea strong, but like it a little stronger with each year that passes. ~George Orwell

Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy, doesn't try it on. ~Billy Connolly

"I like my tea after sex." ~ Oscar Wilde

" for me, tea is the perfect drug... and it's legal"~ Rick Castro

PINKIETESSA'S G~SPOT

G as in GREATER LONDON HOUSE.
my very longtime doll of a friend~ PINKIETESSA posted this informative and funny doco about the greater london house.

back in the day, (early 80s) pinkie lived in LA working for me and my company I LOVE RICKY, while she lived with marilyn and boy george etc.i haven't seen pinkie since the late 80s...
here's her latest posting-
Greater London House was originally the Carreras Building, but better know as The Black Cat Factory. This is a story that began nearly two centuries ago revealing in a few easy lessons how one could have make a fortune in Tabacco. It ends with a tail of how two everso jolly Giant Kitties were re-united with their old home now worth a Mammoth.........£145,000,000. Squishslambongbangsplambong!!!!!!✰✰✰✰!!! !!meeeeeowww.....!!!!!SORRY!

WONDER BAR

who remembers WONDER BAR in NYC during the 1980s?

TEATIME?

i have to admit, i am a bit of a DELPHI BITCH.... i love and collect~ blue willow Delphi, i have a Delphi fetish..... but i'm not quite sure if i want a Delphi HITLER TEA POT by artist- CHARLIE KRAFT.

mr. krafth did give me an amazing tour of seattle a few years ago, which included the eventually banned exhibition of fascists art, but he lost me when he begged me to have a private screening of my doco PLUSHIES & FURRIES for some of his friends..

the party turned out to be a group consisting of drag queens, (out of drag) and a revisionist- april/september male couple. if you don't know what i mean by april/september, i mean young & old. i'm sure you know what i mean by revisionist.
