Lady L Let's Loose!

It's been a little while since i have written my last blog, so many things have been happening! 

Well, I'm currently in Perth visiting family which i haven't seen in 3 years! 

No one has changed, just a few years older!

Its such a nice feeling to back in the homes that i remember growing up in, seeing the same family friends, reminiscing through old photos and devouring into nan's home-made fruit cake!

Ah.. it just makes me one happy girl!

The sunsets in WA are to die for!! For those who have seen my arm tattoo.. the sunset on my shoulder is a representation of this sunset. I remember growing up and my dad would take me down to the beach every morning on sunrise with freshly cut fruit salad and yoghurt packed for our breakfast! 

Of course i wanted to be just like him and make it to the other end of the beach where he would touch the rock face and back again... i think i made it half way each time, waited for him to touch the rock and he'd pick me up on his way back :-) At least i tried right?

Then we would go for a swim and wake the water of its sleep, of course petrified of jellyfish at the age of 10 id latch onto his shoulders and nestle in for the ride!! 

We'd then sit on the sand, crack open the esky and treat ourselves to my favourite breakfast and watch the sunrise shape the day over the ripples we had made in the water.

Its my idea of a perfect start to a day and in fact a life! 

Now that dad has passed.. i feel that his sun has set and i will be forever reminded of how he would make my everyday as bright as that sun! 

Its been a magical trip so far and visiting cities like Fremantle and Perth, driving around to Joss Stone, eating gelato, indulging in amazing food, soaking up the fine weather-  has been so much fun! 

I cant wait to come back!! 

My favourite part of the trip is the plane flight, i get excited about what kind of conversation i will strike up with the person that sits next to me! 

I love people, they always have something good to offer you! 

With a 5 hour flight ahead, i just hope that i get an interesting one!

Upon arriving home the Bank Hotel will be waiting for me for the Weekly Lady L Night Live!!

Im so happy that the local gay and lesbian talent are finally taking it upon themselves to come up and introduce themselves and their talent- I want to see more and more people who have something they want to share up there in those lights.

Ill be the 1st one to support and guide those who are wanting to share their story and perform for their community! Its an honour to introduce singers, musicians, entertainers and anyone with a special talent to the stage. It takes a lot of guts and confidence to get up there and pull off a show and I'm so proud of those who have already shared with us what they can do!!  

I also encourage those who may not necessarily have that confidence or readiness to get up there just yet to come on down to one of my shows and enjoy the entertainment! Maybe it will in-still a bit of "CAN DO" power in you and who knows what may happen! 

I really think that our community needs to see more of its people getting out there and being exactly who they are, no gimmicks, no fakeness, no egos just people and their passions! 

We aren't a category, we aren't a different race, we aren't any different to everyone else who is living and breathing the same air, so make sure you stand out and make your mark! 

Don't stand at the back of line and feel unaccepted, ashamed or in-equal. 

Stand up for what you are and the person you want to be! 

I am your voice when you can't scream loud enough, its time to show the rest of the world what we have to offer! 

SO... In conclusion i am leaving you with an invitation to the 

Lady L "Come Play With Me" Launch Party!

It will be the next level of your normal night out in Sydney!

It's time we made your Girl events better than ever! 

This is also for all those girls who don't come out for whatever reason, I'm introducing to you a top quality party for a small ticket price.

Head to this link HERE and click ATTENDING to keep updated and to find out more information (Performers, DJs etc)

It's a party in conjunction with my Birthday which will be the day after and I'm wanting to give something back to you for all your support and love over the past months!

Its a blessing to be gay and to have the freedom to love another woman, i love those who love me for who i am and accept my choices. So come along if you are proud, if you know how to love, if your keen for an amazing party, if you have a gf/bf or both :-P 

I'm so excited and I'm really looking forward to seeing you at my "Come Play With Me"Launch Party!!

I will love and leave you here!

 Keep smiling and Don't ever give up on your dreams!! 

Love Lady L

Lady L - Building YOUR Stage!

Well it’s that time of the week again that I sit down at my laptop and get lost in the world of writing to you!

I want to say thank you to those special people who wrote in to me after reading my ‘Happiness’ Blog part I and II, your words really meant a lot and I am so glad that for some of you I was able to make a difference in your life!

Sometimes all it takes is for you to take 5 minutes and just ‘be’ with yourself, give yourself some time to work out what you want and what it will take to make you happy!

I know it can be hard living in a world with such criticism and hatred; people can be cruel and bring you down just to build themselves up.

Don’t let yourself be the victim, its up to you how you chose to react!

Do you let yourself fall the words of fools or do you get up and try again?

Stand up for who you are, get to know yourself and stop being influenced by others and what they perceive to be ‘right’

My bedroom wall has these words written on it and I want YOU to follow the same quote:

“Its easy to stand among a crowd, but it takes COURAGE to stand alone”

One way or another I want to be able to give this to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans gender community by creating opportunity for those who want to express themselves.

I’m a big supporter of local talent in our community and I feel that EVERYONE deserves to shine!

We all have something to give, something to say and a gift to share!

I will give you the stage to stand-alone and be EXACTLY who you are, not what you think you need to be!

I want to know your story and give you what I can to support you in finding that special you inside.

We all deserve our own stage; we don’t have to hide among the crowd!

I want to introduce you to someone who came to me only a few weeks ago; she absolutely touched me with her story and where her life has taken her!

The room is instantly filled with warmth when she enters and she has the voice of an angel!

She has been kind enough to share her story with you in my Blog…

Here is Chanese…

"Chanese hails from a neighbourhood known as Harlem in New York City. She began a very promising career as a gospel artist in 2001, which got off to a shaking start only after her first performance. When the leaders of her church got wind of her sexuality she was silenced from participating in services and forced to turn down all outside performances for a year. In addition, she was mandated to undergo "gay counselling" where she was led to believe that there had to be a choice between her love for God and love for women.

Daunted by the ultimatum before her and not wanting to bring more shame upon her loved ones, Chanese severed of all ties with the LGBT community and re-kicked off her career as a closeted gospel singer.

 Along with the happiness of success in touring and recording came the overwhelming heaviness of suppression. Although remaining celibate for many years, she still found herself under ridicule from leaders and friends and in and out of mandatory "gay counselling" because she couldn't shake her attraction to women.

After being silenced from the church for having her first relationship with a woman in 6 years, Chanese knew it was only a matter of time before her fans would find out that she had not been living up to their unfair expectations.

 For the love of her fans and family, she came to Baulkam Hills- in 2010 to attend bible college and secretly give "gay counselling" one last try. Even after sincerely meeting all of the church counsellor's requirements, it became more clear than ever to Chanese that she was born a lesbian and would always be.

She decided it was time to stop living  a lie and started by coming out to a few of her closest friends at church.

 As a result, most stopped communicating with her completely and shortly after, her once very active church performance roster became inactive and she hasn't been invited to be involved since.

Shaking off the religious and social oppression of the first part of her life, Chanese is feeling more alive and free than ever, ready for a new start.”

Chanese has been invited to perform for the first time with me at my Weekly Lesbian hot spot- Lady L Night at the Bank Hotel- Newtown.

On 14 March 2012, she will have the privilege of making her debut as a proud lesbian woman at Lady L Night.

She will no longer be haunted by rejection of her dark past, only to celebrate her defining persistence and her courage to NEVER give up and be proud of who she is and NOT what others wanted her to be!

I would love for everyone to come down and show your support for Chanese.

It will be a GREAT night featuring the ever so sexy Drag Queen- Nikita Vander-camp!

See you there!! J

Lady L has her sights set high for they gay and lesbian community in 2012
