Five Years! (Actually twenty-three years!)

Not much has changed from this...

...to this...

(...except that Mel has figured out how to pluck her eyebrows 

and El has stopped wearing "Lambada" tops).

RESERVATIONS ARE A SMART IDEA

El is away...

...and so Mel feels wistful and bored due to their bizarre and unmanageable co-defriendency. In honor of this, Mel (me) wants to share a photo of the two of them from their bizarre and unmanageable adolescence when they played Vampire husband (El) and wife (Mel) in a musical entitled The Vampires Strike Out. It's a wonder that show never came to The Great White Way. In addition to the general ridiculousness of it all, please enjoy El's tight-rolled pants and all of Mel's Mom's costume jewelery that was clearly piled on for this endeavor. 

 

Also, Mel (me) feels compelled to mention that this photo is not black and white because we were performers at the turn of the century, but because it was a trendy thing to do with theatrical pictures in the 90's. The nineteen nineties.

You're Very Welcome

Just a typical weekend for Mel & El. Getting a few bucks off of our swords and also our knives. We can't stay away from a good sword sale. 

You're very welcome.

You're Very Welcome

As you learned a few days ago, we were on a Muthaf****n Gay Boat all last week. On our sojourn, we learned quite a bit, ourselves. Mostly anthropological things. Here are those things. They have been bullet pointed for your pleasure:

1) This is not a bathing suit. It's a gaything suit:

 

2) If one wears a gaything suit, they are bound to end up with these tan lines:

3) If a "Mel" is left in the sun too long, it becomes delirious & doesn't remember to rub in its sunscreen:

4) If an "El" is left on a gay cruise for too long & mixed with vodka, it begins to wear a sequin turban:

5) You're Very Welcome.

You're Very Welcome

 

This is what happens when:

A) Mel & El get way too bored with a camera.

B) El does a PNJ (pre-nosejob) impression of Frank Zappa & Mel follows suit.

C) Alcohol and sunglasses come together.

D) All of the above.

Answer:

You're Very Welcome
