The erectile dysfunction of MAGA.

VOTE. Richard Barrera, Superintendent of Public Instruction.

About 1% of the population is trans, and they are a mighty people. Ask a local MAGA: Google says trans targeting started ramping up in 2015, and this 1% of the population is so fierce (...which they are!) the entire MAGA machine hasn't been able to undo the political nervous breakdown it's wrought - wreaked? - for the last 11 years. Because they can't. Because it's fomented hysteria. Just like extremism isn't actual religion. And here is the next crop of ambitious MAGA dusti

After a long dormancy, The Penis Whisperer has risen. Someone please help this girl.

I was fortunate enough to have seen Moms Club at another private screening. Thank you to our good friends for supporting it and, bonus, reviewing it while The Lady spelunked some virgin caverns. And then I fell into a deep sleep and dreamed about Siskel and Ebert and city council - as ladies of a certain persuasion do. (Aside, the kids were very team Ebert, but it was Siskel who was had the attractive mind.) I dreamed of an old Siskel and Ebert like movie review, only it was

Helloooo, Poppets! ’Tis I yet again, commandeering this column whilst Lady W herself is indisposed. Rumor has it that she’s somewhere near Palm Springs with a pool boy, 17 gallons of alcohol and one bag of trail mix. But I’m not a gossip so I can neither confirm nor deny. I’m here to regale you all with a recap of the latest underground happening in our fair Glendale. This week’s hottest club had everything, if by “everything” you mean reasonably comfortable seating, a ca

Life does go on, doesn't it? Alas. It turns out when Lady Whistledale is otherwise engaged and Luigi's escort duties are light, while I shan't flaunt all the details suffice it to say he is a rather mischievous boy. The payoffs can be rather enlightening. Our boy stumbled onto a new website recently launched by our MAGA NIMBY's. It has the hopes of stifling. There was going to be more to that sentence, but "stifling" covers it. Now, you know by now we never dismiss anyone's e

When does it start snowing? This transplant would like to know. Hi, Darlings. It's a Tuesday and our favorite show isn't on, two weeks in a row! Last week's city council meeting was a scheduled off. This week lacked the necessary quorum for the show to go on. Alas, what's a Lady to do? Thankfully we've been reprieved by our good friend, Sandi Fernando. Sandi likes cold stares, hot pants, sparkles, and snarling. She also has a few things to say about city council's favorite re

This gorgeous woman. Canadian model/actress professionally known as Winnie Harlow has been getting it done for over ten years. Clearly she has vitiligo. She neither hides it nor lets it define her. She wears it proudly? Probably not a word she would use, everything indicates she views it as a secondary, incidental add-on. Regardless her modesty, she still may have inspired one of Glendale's 150 painted utility boxes, "Royal Magnolia." The artist describes it as "an art nou

A personal note from Lady Whistledale. Once upon a time I was younger. When that was happening I had a conversation once with my then 9 yo niece, and I asked her: Were Satan all-deceptive, wouldn't his greatest success be convincing everyone he was God? Look at all the lemmings caught in that net! She allowed, yes, possible. Then I got old and while still an argument in my oeuvre, a shift on the concept Satan: not innately a bad guy, mostly a necessary component to create

The daily morning ritual of perusing the papers with coffee, toast, and a poached egg has sadly waned in recent years, the go-tos no longer a reliable source of journalism. I do rather enjoy the morning rebroadcast of Christiane Amanpour, that's a dame all right. Alas, much rubbish these days where media and entertainment once were. Fortunately for Glendale we have city council meetings and the rise of the crazies has been rather entertaining indeed, though it takes a few wh

Hello dears, so good to be here, it's been a minute, hasn't it? So grateful to my boys and toys for carrying the load while I was out jaunting. However, there is business. Let's cut to it. This Monday August 17 and Tuesday, August 18 are community meetings about the upcoming BRT line that will connect east of Pasadena through to Burbank and NOHO, similar to the 92 and 180 parenting a prodigy child. The BRT has potential to affect SB79, and as a power couple that could be a g

At the height of LGBTQIA+ hate in Glendale, then Captain William went on Wisenuts in uniform with a GPD recruitment crawl running the entire episode, telling charming stories and recruiting from their audience, deemed prime GPD candidates.

O' to be of the age where your friends and icons begin to leave earth en masse. Of course we've been through this before, us boys of an era; now it's just time. The Lady wasn't always a delightful grande dame, it took years of devotion to the arts of etiquette and charm. But once upon a time even I was a young, and if I may say rather handsome, lad with the usual dose of mischief and cockiness, and I carry those adventures with me as lovely if not sardonic memories. A real La

While Lady Whistledale is out there in the middle of nowhere coaxing hard truths, we also took a side foray into DTLA this past Saturday to pay tribute to the dead. Because at glendaleOUT we know that no one is safe unless all are safe. We don't stand just for our LGBTQIA+ neighbors, we stand for all our neighbors who share in the loss of representation and safe autonomy. 70 coffins, signifying 70 ICE related deaths, were carried from Los Angeles City Hall to historic Olvera

A funny thing happened on the way to the opera house: a beacon of hope and possibility in a desert of challenges. It was Tuesday, July 14. Your dear Lady was on her way to Death Valley in answer to an invite, a casual chat about reviving their beloved opera house with Lady Whistledale and Friends. Even in this heatwave one had to answer, and we were well on our way, me and my driver Luigi. First the AC gave out, and you do not want to see this Lady in any stage of melting, I

Well, dears, Glendale almost had a clean sweep of reason and mental stability this past election season. Alas, minus one: the school board candidate who campaigned illegally (unchecked) and who included witch-hunting children into his campaign, back story here. Mr. Krekorian's first day on the job inspired Glendale's mental illness ménage à trois to show up and welcome him: Ray Shelton, Mike Mohill, and Beth Brooks. About this line up let The Lady say, should this be what sho

Well, dears, that was a nail-biter. Previously referred to as the "rabid-hole that is Glendale elections," election season did not disappoint. We stayed quiet throughout to avoid any possible schadenfreude, AKA, Lady Eggy Face. With additional contenders, few crossovers, and some very clear also-rans, there were two dominant approaches to what should be next for our dear town. One camp was labeled Progressive while the other wavered between NIMBY and MAGA. The MAGA's who took

Well now, you can bring an old queen new tricks! Magnetism + faggot = Fagitism, we love it! This particular comment was posted on FB under the City of Glendale's post for its Pride Proclamation. Thank you, Essie Simitian for the new contribution to our lexicon. Now to get it going enough for Webster to pick it up.

O' Glendale, you can be so tedious! And predictable. Reddit edition.
