This reference for the RHOSLC is absolutely amazing.
And imagining fighting over the red bathing suit again and giving it to Lisa Barlow is *chef’s kiss.*

The Bush twins must feel weird about this too??

Emerson Collins @emersoncollins.bsky.social · 1d

Kim Kardashian releasing a line of bush thongs is some how the exact right amount of absurdism I needed today?
Is your vagina cold? Merkin madness for fall!
(And they sold out. Because of course they did.)

Absolutely delightful day at Atlanta PRIDE! 🌈

Emerson Collins @emersoncollins.bsky.social · 5d

This bargain basement bigot at Atlanta PRIDE really did not think through the placement of his megaphone.

Having a delightful night in a big queer theatre watching a big gay movie and laughing along.
Fighting for joy is hard right now, and community sure makes it help feel possible!!

It makes me cackle! We live fully in different universes

Thank youuuuu!!!

Dolly Parton had to make a full two minute video to stop us all from losing our minds.
I cannot even IMAGINE the call Freida Parton got for starting this mess - but I’m having a lot of fun trying!

Oh I know!! I think of Pedro every time Sean leans further into the grift to get ahead!

Genuinely considering becoming a rainbow crosswalk graffiti artist.

At a Jocktober backyard gay movie night watching Practical Magic, with midnight margaritas obviously, and you better believe it became a full singalong when Faith Hill’s “This Kiss” started playing.

How long till the TikTok gay baiters make a trend showing off VPL to Taylor Swift’s “Wood” and then the actual gays do it too (I mean me.)

I can’t imagine letting other people making jokes about something you love steal any of the joy you find in it.
Like, I don’t care at all what you think of the things I like?

Guess I might have to finally listen to Brat!

My therapist and I have really been working on the many root contributions to the anxiety I take medication for.
It’s going well, and he asked if we should take a break.
And I said, in all seriousness, “um, no? At least not till after I pick out a Halloween costume.”

Emerson Collins @emersoncollins.bsky.social · 12d

THANK YOU!! Assembled almost entirely from pieces of other costumes we already had in our “gay nonsense” storage bin 🤣

Emerson Collins @emersoncollins.bsky.social · 12d

I’m all for people loving who they love!
But being honest….
when the lady announced this new…era…I was a bit pre-exhausted that it would be so pervasive again.
But, I have to admit, it’s a wonderful timeline cleanse, and since I’m not invested, it’s amusing to watch the discussion in discourse.

Spent the weekend performing with the Skivvies in Palm Springs, and got to do a new number as Frank from their “Rocky Horror Skivvies Show.”
An absolute blast, and of course an excuse to be in funderwear on stage 😜

An incredible weekend celebrating my best friend’s bachelor party…but obviously I did not miss the chance to make a lovely bridesmaid help me with this unnecessary photo shoot at the ridiculous house we were in!

Clearly I need an emotional release because I am unnecessarily undone at the Nicole Kidman/Keith Urban split news.
