I love that Abby criticises the bar for having Disney themed nights as if little kids are going to show up or something. It's still a bar that serves alcohol, children will never know that a bar which has burlesque nights also hosts Disney nights and when they are old enough to realise they probably won't care.

Oh Lord, I can’t with this argument that the bar has a personality disorder and that it is a big problem. She always says

ajw: “The personality disorder is precisely as you describe, you can’t claim D/isney and Br/aodway and then do some variety of “burlesque.” It is one or the other, both do not work”.

NEWSFLASH...it’s an over 21 Bar in progressive CA...it’s not Cinderella’s Castle at Disney World catering to families with preschoolers dressed in princess dresses.

I would say the bar has a very defined personality- it’s a fun piano bar for everyone but it is reaching out particularly to the LGBTQ+community to be a safe space for top-notch, fun theme-nights for the LGBTQ entertainment. Every bar in the world is allowed to define who they want to be and then if it is interesting to customers, they will come. If it isn’t, they won’t and they will either amend their business model or go out of business. It’s as simple as that. No bar can make everyone happy -nor should it strive to. But to be angry because it is bawdy and gay is really rich of Abby-and don’t get it twisted- she is pissed because it celebrates the LGBTQ community and it’s sexy. The community is more sexually liberated than the average straight American as they aren’t beholden to the bullshit patriarchal rules of sex in America. They have less shame and guilt about their own sexual pleasure. The Christian message straight America mostly lives by “sex is bad but reproduction is good” is not something they concern themselves with because sex and reproduction are not related in same-sex couples. From my position on the outside of the community, I see joyous sex and pleasure without the guilt or limits and slut-shaming as long as both adults are consenting. Nobody is doing purity hyman checks in the LGBTQ community! All of this raw sexuality and openly gay people expressing their sexuality makes Abby upset and anxious because she has hard and fast rules for relationships and sex. The only gay couple she “knows” had sex by touching noses to toes and prefer holding hands. That makes gurlesque WAYYYYY too much for her little heart to hold and naked women on the walls? NO f’ing way. We cover ourselves in public.

The bar makes me angrier than it should, I'll admit. Like if you want to be a sexy, cabaret lounge, more risque piano bar, then that is fine. Be that. I am not offended by nudity on the walls or even naked women on the bar. But then don't call it family friendly and start having Disney nights in the next breath. It's so bizarre. I'm all for having theme nights, but it needs to be in line with the establishment. Not this identity crisis this venue seems to have. It's so odd and unappealing to me.(Parroting back Abby’s words perfectly)

ajw: There are two issues with the bar, it has multiple personality disorder, utterly and completely and a lot of it is offensive. (She finds female sexuality and LGBTQ sexuality “offensive” b/c she can’t understand they are taking back the words that men use to define us and belittle us as sluts and whores).

The personality disorder is precisely as you describe, you can’t claim D/isney and Br/aodway and then do some variety of “burlesque.” It is one or the other, both do not work. (Yes, yes you can. If it’s your business you can do whatever the market will bear).

No, I am not saying every pic of a naked woman is offensive, to each their own, not my taste, but I know many people do like this sort of thing. But they have theme nights with offensive Names (d*ke night and corporate ladder/Corporate hoes), they use derogatory stereotypes (flannel shirt night), they have drink names that are misogynist (ones referring to large breasts, others calling women sluts), and the one picture i posted i think is body shamming as it is depicting 2 perfect women and telling us to achieve greatness. (Here her homophobia is on full blast. Straight women don’t get to decide what is offensive to lesbian women and since a lesbian woman hosts Open Dyke Night and Flannel shirt night, Abby needs to back off the generalizations about how offensive it is and admit that SHE”s offended by lesbians acting like lesbians. She prefers them to blend in with straight women).

And that doesn’t address the immature and childish touches that are plentiful. Or the rude bar staff. Or that there is an upcharge for ice. Or that the AC has been broken for over a year. (Here we have Abby’s tendency to read something once- whether it is from a credible source is irrelavant0 and then turn it into a never-ending consistent thing. Rude bar staff? There are one or two fake Yelp reviews about rude bar staff and lots of comments on social media about how great the bar is as well as the staff gushing about working there. The AC was broken the first night. I have seen no credible proof that it continued but again, customers can choose to either go there or not go there knowing AC doesn’t work. You can’t vilify a bar you will never go to because they don’t have AC. The upcharge for ice story isn’t very credible either and it was one Yelp review. I suspect the individual was a Darren fan who got a drink that was more expensive than they used to and they freaked out and wrote a nonsense reivew after being embarassed.)

What's the Cinderella thing

ajw: Just a joke about the sex club nonnie, contrasting D/isney night with the decor.

Anonymous asked:

You don't remember when Cinderella stripped down to pasties and a thong at the ball, but fled at midnight, leaving the prince to scour the land for the girl who fit her 8-inch platform stripper-heel shoe? Tbh, his trips to the bar don't bug me anymore. He only goes when there is a celeb or a vip who pays (the orig post of Sat's pics thanks a guy who is an Apple exec who, I am guessing, paid for D's "random" appearance that night). His "I'm there most nights I'm in LA" days are long gone.

ajw720 answered: Hahahaha! Oh Nonnie I love you. Now that i think about it, i recall that story well, if I remember correctly, before she stripped down, she was in silver sparkles, beads and feathers. Now remind me, was she more of a gyrating with the beer tap on top of the bar kind of princess or one that simulates sex with an innocent teddy bear?

On D, you are right, at this point, he goes when there is a special guest. He really has cut it down a ton, which considering he has an actual job makes sense.

Just discovered this trip to the bar, that featured ERW and a British music exec Rob D/ickins may just have been to promote a B/owie cover band featuring ERW that is going on tour. And guess who is another member of the band? Ding Ding Ding, Platonic Roomie B/enny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (x). What a surprise!

I love this type of coincidence @ajw720. You couldn’t make it up 😂.

Will M will be congratulating B publicly again on his success and will they use D’s SM so D can congratulate him personally. I’m eye rolling

She is so proud of her ma… oh, sorry, I got confused.

Gotta support his straight 🔥 music.

Btw-Mia didn’t post this for Ben. It’s Ben’s own post but once again Mia is demonized for behavior she’s going to possibly maybe might do.

Hello bookworms!

As summer is winding down, I am looking forward to all things FALL! Fall is my favorite season and in my book begins on September 1st… even if it is still 80 degrees outside…

Today I am talking about the books I read & what I blogged in August…

With the return to some normalcy to our lives, August flew by in a whirlwind. Here in Ohio, sports were allowed to resume with restrictions, so I am back chauffeuring my children all around town. My son is playing football and my daughter is doing cheerleading. While nothing is without risk these days, we decided that it was important for them to be able to participate in some extracurricular activities since they will not be attending in-person school for the first semester of the school year.

Speaking of online schooling, my kids will be starting school on September 8th. We are nervous and a bit anxious to begin.

August ended up being the month where I read the fewest number of books thus far in 2020. Even though I didn’t read as many books as normal, I’m not upset about it since I loved everything I read.

» Born a Crime by Trevor Noah

I adored Noah’s memoir about growing up in South Africa under Apartheid. You can read my mini review here ⇒ Born A Crime by Trevor Noah

» Beach Read by Emily Henry

I’ve read a few of Emily Henry’s YA books, so I was curious to see how she tackled adult romance. Henry is queen of the slow burn romance. I’m happy to see all the attention this book is getting.

» American Street by Ibi Zobi

This was my first time reading an Ibi Zoboi book, but it definitely won’t be the last. This is a YA contemporary story with a touch of magic realism.

» A Wolf for a Spell by Karah Sutton

This was a delightful MG fantasy inspired by Russian folklore. You can read my mini review here ⇒ Mini Book Reivews: August 2020 – Part 3

» The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise by Dan Gemeinhart

A new favorite MG contemporary! The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise is a journey story that includes a cast of lovable & quirky characters. You can read my mini review here ⇒ Mini Book Reivews: August 2020 – Part 3

» Anxious People by Fredrik Bachman

*4.5 Stars*

I am a big Backman fan, so I was very excited to be approved for an eARC. If you’ve enjoyed his other books, you’ll adore this one too.

» Ask Again, Yes by Mary Beth Keane

*4.5 Stars*

I really enjoyed this multi-generational family narrative about mental illness, love, addiction, and forgiveness. If you enjoyed this one, I’d recommend The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne.

Goodreads Challenge Update: 91 books in 2020
