thombeau said...

OK, since y'all are so shy, I'll go first. I'm Thom, a Virgo born in the Year of the Pig. I like rhinestones and oral pleasure.

TJB said...

My name is Todd, and I'm a Pisces born in the Year of Gerald Ford. My first life altering moment was watching Diana Ross' Central Park concert on television, and my second was subsequently announcing to my mother that I wanted to BE Diana Ross when I grew up. The last four songs played on my iPod were by 1) Judy Garland, 2) LaVern Baker, 3) Antonio Carlos Jobim and 4) Lana Cantrell, which probably says a lot about me--exactly what, I don't know.

Mel said...

I'm Mel. I'm a ram born in the year of the dirty cock. My porn name is Ram Nova and my drag name is Bootsie Ponderosa. And yet I aspire to be a crunchy earth dyke.

Rabbitch said...

I'm Rabbitch, an Aquarius born in the year of the assbeagle (I'm too lazy to look up the Chinese calendar -- deal). Apparently, according to Mel, I'm also an unrepentant whore.

I wear sensible shoes and flannel and the heat of my lois belongs to Isabelle Adjani. My husband likes her, too.

We are a very conventional family.

Marcus said...

I'm Marcus, I am an Aquarius born in either the year of the Rabbit or the year of the Tiger, depending on which calendar you consult. I am a big ol' homo who likes other big ol' homos and likes em hairy! I am by no means a wallflower, will speak my mind and speak it loud, I have a very high sex drive and like to talk about and have sex as much as possible. I am a flag waving radical faerie, and a bear.

Muscato said...

Well, no wonder I've felt so at home here! I'm Alex, an ex-New Romantic, onetime personal assistant (and lady-in-waiting, for that matter), would-be dandy, sometime hair-hopper, show person/survivor, and very definitely a dowager in-the-making.

On top of that, terribly Taurus, inherently nostalgic, and very far from home, an ex-New Yorker living with Mr. Muscato and KoKo the Wonder Dog in a small Sultanate on the Indian Ocean. I am far too fond of character actresses and fallen stars, poverty row pictures, minor royalty, Arabic pop, and melancholy cabaret songs.

You can, if you care to, come visit the Café Muscato at expatriato.blogspot.com.

JohnK said...

I'm Johnk, a bull and cock. I like both.

I find my life reflected in Sunset Boulevard and Valley of the Dolls. I've been through many fashion phases beginning with jumpsuits, beautiful patterned jumpsuits that I made, at age ten.

Sarospice said...

I'm the Spice of Fabulon and I am a Libra so I seek fabulous balance in everything I do. For example what good is COCK without TAIL I get sad when the glass is hafl full and start looking for the waiter.

Birds of a Feather said...

I'm Tristan, a Gemini born in the year of the snake which means that I'm romantic, charming, deep-thinking, always mysterious, graceful and soft spoken and obviously full of shit.

Ex-star living life as a fabric artist in New Haven with the sexiest man I've ever met.

I never know from day to day if I would rather be Jeff Stryker or Marilyn Monroe.

Tristan

lunakate said...

I'm Kate, am Aquarius born in the year of the sheep. Fabulon lets me find the happy medium between my sheepish homebody side and my eccentric waterbearer side. I am a shopgirl and an advocate of equal representation of Redheads. I'm not as quick with the wit as other Fabulonians, so I like to fixate on curious details. I like purple and Asian things.

Constant Drama said...

I am the Constantly Dramatic One, and when say "constantly dramatic" I do mean CONSTANTLY. I am a Virgo meaning I am articulate, responsible and picky but then I was born in the year of Tiger meaning I can prefer much stare you down with my articulately done eyes. And then kick yo ass.

No, seriously.

I'm bitchy, I'm fun, I'm quirky and of on top of everything else....I am faaaaaaabulous darling. And oh: fun fact, if I wasnt born a woman I would totally be a Drag Queen and hence the connection between Fabulon and me-

I am a gay boy stuck in a woman's body.

neeneeboop said...

i cant reveal my identity cuz im a ex-con on the run and the only form of entertainment i have is this site at the moment until i bottom out with loot and commit another fancy random bank hiest.i have diamond nuggets you will kill for and i forgot to mention i have a serious black jack gambling addiction.i do houdini dissapearing acts and i dress in drag sometimes.im conducting my next hit so im looking for qaulified drag queens to get in on this with me.im not sure where to find them,but this looks like the place.

Donna Lethal said...

I'm a Scorpio, born in the Year of the Gabor. Luckily, I had very laissez-faire parenting, so the tv was my babysitter. I once feigned illness to stay home and watch "The Bad Seed." When I wasn't in front of the tv I was at my aunt's beauty salon on Saturdays, witnessing big hair at its finest. Now I live in Hollywoodland!

mrpeenee said...

I am a Perfect Lady, lucky enough to born with the sweetest disposition anyone ever saw, I don't care what that tacky, solvent sucking Thombeau says. Should anyone cross him or any of my other sister Falonistsas, I will kick their ass so hard they'll need a periscope to wipe their butt, but aside from that, a Perfect Lady.

I'm an Aries (No, really,) born in the year of the Sheep. Double sheep!

Jen said...

I'm Jen, I was born in 1975 and I'm a Scorpio with all those dramatic yet secretive things going on.
I'm an awfully nice British girl, who married an American and has ended up halfway up a mountain in North Carolina.

People, you cannot buy sequins in this middle-of-nowhere town. Believe me, I've tried. Fabulon is a recently discovered life-line to the fabulous.

JuliannK said...

Hi, I'm Juliann and I'm a Leo. Born during Camelot during the year of the tiger. I come from a long line of fabulous women, but I certainly need my gays to maintain it. From Thombeau's list I am or have been: a dancing girl, starving artist, cabaret singer, coloratura, gold digger and social butterfly.

Elizabeth said...

Oh darlings, I'm Elizabeth, and I've been a devoted hag ever since the day, as a broken hearted young college drop out, I wandered over to Castro Street and got a job at Cliff's Variety Store. Ah, the countless "screws and nuts' jokes I heard, the beautiful boys I drank and discoed with, the amazingly quick-witted bitching I heard and took part in. Ever since then, I've found my way to gay men like a little bird finds a safe roost. So I found my way here. I'm happily married, have four daughters, write, make art, and still love the glitter, the banter, the jokes, and all of you.

Emma P. said...

Well if you must know, I'm Emma P. I'm psychotic but incredibly well dressed so it's overlooked. I'm a former New York print whore who grew tired of selling the same old smile to Madison Avenue so I decided to trade up by selling my words to Hollywood.
Did I mention I'm not very bright?
Sign: Aries
Turn Ons: Sunshine, Machine Guns, Nipples.
Turn Offs: Rude People, Axel Rose & Butt Plugs (but only when they're together, in that order), Nipples.
Luckily, an adorable gent with a beautiful voice took pity on me & let me take refuge on his beautiful planet of Fabulon. I have another adorable gent who took pity on me 11 years ago & still trades me stuff for sex.

James said...

Hieee! I'm James, central Kentucky/Aries/year of the ram/child of air. I'm a perkygoth, a bit of a metalhead, a hateful bitch, and I'm dead inside, but I still manage to enjoy the sparkly/shiny side of life.

My hobbies include crochet, sewing, tarot, crushing dreams, making straight men uncomfortable, horror movies, making people laugh, and video games. It's so nice to meet everyone!

Celtic said...

So glad to see this site back up!

I'm Doreen, a Taurus with lots of Aries flair who has loved coming to this site for over a year after being turned on to it from Project Rungay...

I think you are a fabulously big deal!

TigerYogiji said...

Hello Kiddies!

TigerYogiji here. I'm a Virgo, born in the Year of the Rat. I've been legally married for three years to my partner (we've been together for eighteen years!). My life is very similar to the sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond" and I'm Debra...

Jôka P. said...

I have an Art Gallery. I´m also an artist painter and work as illustrator and french teacher.
I love here, The Planet Fabulon, because of the glamurous and wonderful imagens, the excelent taste, the good humour and the inteligence of Mr. Thombeau.
:)

Jôka P. said...

I´m Virgo.

Deja Pseu said...

I'm Deja Pseu, a Pisces born in the year of the Pedal-pusher, and am just another old broad who worships at the altar of Audrey Hepburn and Coco Chanel.

Wesley Darling said...

I'm Wesley Darling- I'm a Cancer, a sartorial whore, and an art dilettante. My interests include boys, cars, and couture, Negronis and Vespers sipped from Lalique crystal sitting in Mid-century modern furniture, while wearing bespoke Italian suiting. Someday you're going to hear about me- for better or worse!

auntie susie said...

I'm the same as I was before. I read this quote today that pretty much sums it all up -

"How glorious it is and also how painful to be an exception." - French author Alfred de Musset

Rachel said...

pagan, nihilist, hedonist.

hillyblue said...

I'm Hilly Blue...Moon child

I visit Fabulon often and sometimes I'll bring Mom Smackley along. We have four children who have shape-shifted into feline form...Ursula, Mischa, Susu and Pyewacket. We live in the lost city of Atlanta.

marisha said...

i'm marisha and i am a scorpio/wood rabbit. one of my proudest moments was when i was given the title "queen of the fag hags" @ a gay bar in albany, ny. i live on lawn guyland, but please don't hold it against me. i'm a bleeding heart liberal, a cynical idealist, and a perpetual spinster.

Magic Bellybutton said...

I'm Magic B and I'm a red-headed Taurean Dragon. Also happy to be described as a FBR (Feisty Buxom Redhead).

I suspect over the past 18 months or so my true nature - that of a hag - has come to the fore. Not that I'm complaining, mind.

I may steal some pictures.

DV said...

I'm MissDV, Pisces born in the year of something-or-other.

Thanks for inviting me, I bought some wine.

elcynic said...

I'm Karen, a Libra Rat born, raised and reared in San Diego. Well, not quite reared yet. The husband isn't unto such things.

I come here daily because there is just not enough fabulousness in my dull daily life. I am made whole...

And because Thom has amazing taste in all things especially music.

Cheryl said...

Well hello. I'm Cheryl - Aquarius, year of the rat. I'm an artist in the SF Bay Area, and I found Planet Fabulon quite recently and serendipitously while googling for some damn thing and was instantly entranced. This site seems to celebrate so many of my personal fetishes/obsessions, and the witty commentaries are a scream! It's extremely fabulous meeting all of you.

brandy101 said...

I am Brandy101, a wig-collector, tiara-wearer, makeup-experimenter. I have been making costumes and sets for small-time theatre productions and other events for over 20 years (on and off...)
I am a former member of the corporate world, now working as a mom, volunteer, pet-owner and freelance writer.
I love vintage everything, the outdoors, interior design, fashion, friendship, humor, and fine wines...although not necessarily in that order.

Noelia said...

My name is Noelia. I'm Leo and metal rooster, born in Argentina in 1981.

I moved to the States 2 1/2 years ago , and I live in a studio apt in DC with my husband and two chihuahuas.

I love my man, my family and my friends. I love music, (and therefore dancing) and all types of animals.I love traveling but I'm afraid of planes. I'm a living contradiction and my neighbors notice that when I play Madonna after the Ramones.
I'm crazy in every sense of the word but I'm still friendly, until someone dares to mess with those I love. I'm very sensitive, paranoid and I'm this close to have OCD.
I went to a catholic school, so I feel guilty for almost everything.
I'm obsessed with ecology.
I studied Political Sciences but never graduated. Thank god, because I'm too liberal...
And my motto in life is one person CAN make a difference...

CoCoLenn said...

Good morning! I'm Corrie, I'm a resident of the SF Bay Area, and I'm a pisces. I have been admiring Fabulon from afar for ever so long, and I kinda heart Thom. Like in a cool fairy princess way, not fag haggy.
I like make up counters and ponies.

S. said...

I'm a middle-aged gay man trapped in a straight woman's body. My alter ego is holed up somewhere in a purple velvet chamber, glued to TCM and making collages from vintage movie magazines. Born in 1965, a visit to Biba in 1974 set my fashion genes to fabulous. I'm a professional rabble-rouser, help present community art, and do my best to make the world a more glittierier place. I love Fabulon, a visual palette cleanser during my day of political machinations.

boyshapedbox said...

I'm Dicky/boyshapedbox, Sagittarius (which means i'm half-horse)

I am fabulousness in training. Head of my class.

A childhood of Ballet, Tap Dancing, Gymnastics, and Art School.
I showed promise from the beginning.

I study Fabulon everyday in HOPES there will be a pop quiz.

citizen jane said...

I'm jane, a Libra born under the balanced guidance of her fairy godmothers Bea Arthur and Charles Nelson Reilly.

In my real life, I'm usually seen as a responsible mom and community volunteer but beneath my respectable exterior lurks a woman who cannot remember what her natural hair color is; who would be a stah on Broadway today if her mother had only taken her to dance lessons; who listens to the OCR of A Chorus Line at least once a week and who never leaves her house without at least three Mac lipglasses in her purse.

Childhood idols include the sisters Gabor, Eve Arden, Paul Lynde and La Minnelli.

sarahcis said...

Evening everyone.
I'm Sarah , a Taurean with Capricorn rising , born in the year of the dog.... I talk fast, stress too much and love chocolate...in a previous life I was a fag hag. Fabulon is one of the websites I visit daily, to view the different, wonderful and illuminating world that we live in. plus I love the reading the insightful and bitchy comments !!!

La Diva Laura said...

Hola, darlings! I'm La Diva Laura, 100% proud and voluptuous woman and most un-Piscean of Picses! I aspire to be as witty and elegant as Margo Channing but usually come across more like a Russ Myer SuperVixen!

I loves make-up, fine clothes, glamour, decolette dresses, high design and sipping old school cocktails at unheard of dive bars all over the world (while looking fabulous, of course.)

I also love boys, bears, boys that look like bears, the ocean and living anywhere there is a palm tree.

I am silly and happy!

Music and beauty drive my life, that's why I LURVE Thombeau and Fabulon! A gorgeous distraction....oh, I'm buying the next round....Manhattan anyone?

E! said...

hey, there. I'm E, a Taurus-Gemini cusp (3 personalities for the price of 1!) and a Metal Dog. I've travelled here and there, done some theatre & whatnot, but have now settled down to a mostly calm life of gainful employment and save my debaucheries for the weekends. I love 80's music and crazy costumes, shoes, interior design, entertaining, and witty snark, as opposed to mean-spirited hurtful snark. I love Fabulon. Coming here makes me very very happy.

ilduce said...

Greetings Darlings!

I am Ilduce a Virgo, born in the year of the short-angry-gay-Italian. I’ve been a Fabulon addict for a year now. I am over-educated, waaaaaay under loved and have been thoroughly ruined by reading Austen at too early an age. (It does skew one’s expectations!)

Scarlett said...

I'm Scarlett Letter, a Libra Dragon with hair that closely resembles fire. I adore saloon songs and other melancholy themes. I am a Burlesque Performer in Hollywood and every time I am plotting a new costume/number Fabulon shows up in my research, so I've decided to start all my research here.

Desarae said...

Hello fellow fabulonians! My name is Desarae from the great Chicago area. I have a 4 year old daughter who keeps me on my toes. I pride myself on being a defender of all people's rights whether it is fighting racism, sexism,basically all the 'isms, and I am instilling these traits into my daughter hoping she will follow. I come to Fabulon to escape the mundane and get a splash of fabulousness (is that even a word?) throughout the day.

tula said...

My name is Tula. I'm a Scorpio and have the panties to prove it. My hero is my hairdresser.

juliana said...

dear sirs, sorry for my bad english. I need to find the name for that style or trend, half hippie-half nordic that was so popular in the 60's and 70's. Thanks a lot from Argentina.

NatureJockk said...

NatureJockk here!!

Hello Fearless leader ThomBeau..
Of Planet FABULON!!


Hot as Hell now in New Orleans. The heat, Humidity and Humanity in the Chocolate City has made it just stifling.

I feel as if The Vapors are coming about me.

It is always refreshing for me to take a break and get myself to Planet Fabulon.


I will travel to Fabulon after Howard Stern's radio show ends in a little while/ It gives me time to chill the glass ware and crush more ice for Martinis and get the olives skewered.

showard said...

Hello all.. Stephan here.. one determined Pieces who has returned to the lovely midwest (Ohio to be exact) to finish her degree with the hopes of landing somewhere in NYC... I love fashion, smart and sexy men, the occasional martini and most of all being a fabulous BITCH... I have a feeling that Planet Fabulon will become a delicious part of this girl's support system

Cannibal Adderley said...

Oh my dears, I am an Archer and some kind of fire-breathing Chinese rat. I'm probably the gay love-child of James Merrill and David Jackson. I'm also The Cannibal and a bit of a musician with a mean dancing streak. I like cocks, more cocks, Gaycations, and Drag Balls. Thank Adonis that I discovered the planet of Fabulon, and not a moment too soon! Once I settle down from my somewhat gypsy lifestyle, you are invited to my apartment for gimlets, caipirinhas, roasts, toasts, firm buttocks, make-up parties, and "Paris-in-the-20's" soirées.

thombeau said...

Ooh, we are SO THERE! (And extra-credit points for mentioning James Merrill!)

Equipo Tucson said...

I´m David from http://vivir-en-tucson.blogspot.com/
and I love Planet Fabulon :)

Aaron said...

I am so late to this party! Sorry. I'm Aaron. I teach theatre in Tallahassee FL. I'm a Pisces (in other words, I am an emotional wreck but still sensible and witty).

My blog is at http://girmo2003.livejournal.com. I mostly write about movies.

Fabulon is my cocaine.

Xico de Cadoro said...

did you know that FABULON is the name home care product in France ?
its starch contained in an aerosol can for better ironing...its slides and glides and makes your shirts ever so nice....

Xico de Cadoro said...

and btway, I'm a Cancer/rat and love the fact that your blog is simply scintillating !

question: you seem to have a particular love for Brazilian music (which I absolutely adore), care to 'splain ?

TJB said...

"It slides and glides and makes your shirts ever so nice..."

Not unlike Fabulon's resident houseboys!

Donna Lethal said...

If I hadn't seen those red welts on the houseboy after he stopped by the west wing to water my orchids, the sissy slap fest would have gone completely undetected by me.

Misster Kitty said...

My name is Misster-Kitty,
And I'm so happy to be here.
I'm in my fourth year of studying taxidermy,
And I love hunting deer.
