Congratulations to Ellen Degeneres, not only for being just married, but also for landing a new deal with CoverGirl. She will be the face of the new make-up line for this brand-name cosmetic corporation. It has been reported that CoverGirl will be dishing out over $1 million for Ellen to use her smiling face to market their new line. Ellen will be joining famous CoverGirls like Christie Brinkley, Faith Hill, Queen Latifah, Rihanna, and Drew Barrymore. It is very awesome that Ellen, an out lesbian, will be the face of a major company like CoverGirl. This perfect-skinned woman had really been a fantastic model for women and girls as a famous out lesbian in the media. She has really paved the way towards acceptance, not just in celeb-world, but from everyone. Again, Congrats to this easy, breezy, LezzyGirl!

I wouldn’t get tired of watching this movie. It was so well written and played out. The viewer needs to open up their mind and disregard the obvious and place their own players into each character. For me it’s easy to see myself as the nightclub performer, (as cross dresser, not transgender). Or I can just place myself in her shoes as a victim of lost love, (if you remember the shooting back at the old location of, The Express, that left one young man dead in the alley across the way thanksgiving eve).

(Yes, I am a single gay father; my daughter is now 18). They never did find Mitch’s killers; like I knew Fresno Police Department never does in “Gay” cases.
