oOo, dear readers, you would have been proud of your little Fireblossom tonight. As part of a benefit event, I read some of my poetry at Affirmations, our gorgeous lesbian and gay center.
They liked me they really liked me.
I read four poems:
and Strippers.
They laughed. They listened. They clapped and yelled. I was told I am better than the ordinary brand, by an attractive woman or two. I quite liked that part.
Today Duckburg, tomorrow New York. Or not. But I sure enjoyed it, and it was for a good cause. :-)

21 spoke through the ouija:
They recieved a wonderful gift!
I am proud of , and happy for you :-)
Hooray for Shay! I'm jealous. Now I'm out to buy one of those nifty pink knives that you have displayed here...
You're extraordinary, Shay! Congrats! I wish I could have been in the audience doing some yelling and clapping of my own!
Strippers would have had me on my feet.
It is a different kind of thrill isn't it to be able to see an audience "get it?"
Yay Shay!
Miss Blossom...?
May I please have your autograph?
Good for you!
Made you feel all warm inside? And well deserved. I would love to hear you read your own work.
Woo hoo!
♪...start spreading the news...♫
Yes! It's only a matter of time before you hit all the major cities! Miami here you come!!
PS - We have lots of pretty women in this town who will tell you "¡eres una maravilla, Chica!" Don't you worry! :)
Congratulations. It's always gratifying to make these kinds of connections.
And you're surprised by this...I guess they are just now discovering what we in the blogosphere have known all along...you're brilliant and your written words are amazing...I would love to hear you read them...
xo Gabi
Yes... i agree with Gabi.. You are UNIQUE and I wish I could have been there listening to your own amzing poems
Great Shay!
Congratulations, Shay!! I'm so happy for you. Keep on writing. Blessings!
Congrats! As Steve Martin would say, "You're a somebody! You're a somebody!"
I had to read the poems first, just to see which ones you would choose for a reading. They are all wonderful - your imagination never ceases to amaze me - and I can't even say which one I like most.
Congratulations, Shay! Your success is more than deserved and not at all surprising.
xoxoxo
I am not surprised ...
A true shameless promoter type would have somebody record them reciting said poems so you could make a U-tube video and post it on your blog!
Of course they loved you.
Congratulations...that takes a lot of courage. However, I agree with other people who've commented...it doesn't surprise me that they loved you.
Your poetry is pretty amazing:~)
I'm so very proud! Congrats.
(And I hope you got some digits out of the deal.)
