Happy Birthday, Thom!

It's a little late in the day but let's all wish Thom a happy birthay!

How about we celebrate with some "high class biscuits and cakes?"...

Thombeau's REDUNDANT VARIETY HOUR is back!

Celebrating the Golden Age of the Television Variety Hour ... for better or worse!

Mystery of Mysteries

Mistress MJ understands that you have grown restless waiting for her return so in her absence, our Thom presents you Bitches with a mystery to be solved. Over to you, Thom...

"Whilst walking along the river, I saw -- somewhat off the beaten path -- a large cross leaning against a tree. On the other side of the same tree: a pair of underpants. What can it mean?"



"I hasten to add that I resisted the temptation to hang the underwear on the cross."

Happy Birthday, Thom!

Just for this one very special occasion, let's all forget about the worldwide helium shortage.



Happy birthday, Thom!

SAFETY GAYS!

On our previous post, the ever-inquisitive Ms. Nations asked…

“PLEASE DEFINE THE TERM 'SAFETY GAY' FOR A BITCH WOUDJA.”

Perhaps this photo via TJB at Stirred, Straight Up, With A Twist, will help illustrate…



And now a word from Thombeau whose vivacious “The Redundant Variety Hour” is literally BURSTING with safety gays…

“In a nutshell: When a diva is busy singing and dancing, she is often accompanied by a brigade of choreographed male dancers who not only add to the festivity, but are there to catch her if she falls. Hence the term "safety gays".

Thom goes on to say…

“This clip is a prime example of Safety Gays at work. Not only are they dancing with Miss Mitzi Gaynor, they're spotting her. Because dancing in heels can be downright dangerous at times!”



And remember…it’s Safety Gays 24/7 at The Redundant Variety Hour!

WINNER of the Gayest Thing in Your House Contest!

Mistress MJ asked…

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the gayest one of all?

THOMBEAU'S THE GAYEST ONE OF ALL!!!

Congratulations to our winner THOMBEAU who wowed us with his Gay Monopoly game…

What they’re saying about Thombeau…

I would KILL for Thombeau's Gay Monopoly.
- NurseMyra

Can I play Gay Monopoly with Nursemyra's son????
- Jon (Deep Blue)

Thom's gay "man"opoly is too wonderful. But how could anyone play? They'd all be busy screaming over those playing pieces!
- Normadesmond

And now our runners-up:

For any reason, if Thombeau cannot fullfill his duties during his reign as The Gayest One of All, the first runner-up will take over his place.

That man is MR. PEENEE with his combination linen closet/Barbie doll sex club!...

And congratulations are in order for our second runner-up; Canada’s own RILEY and his Barbra Streisand doll!...

A big round of applause for all our contestants!

Thanks for participating in our The Gayest Thing in Your House Contest.

YOU’RE ALL FABULOUS!!!

CONGRATULATIONS THOMBEAU!!

Happy Birthday, Thombeau!

Looks like Thom’s been using Normadesmond’s Velva Cream to maintain that youthful glow!

[via TJB of Stirred, Straight Up, With A Twist]

There are not enough superlatives to describe Thombeau and how much I adore him.

So let’s allow Thom to describe himself…

“Yes, I am the legendary Thombeau, a mystery wrapped in an enigma and smothered in secret sauce. So it is written, so it shall be. World without end. Amen.”

WINNER of the Canada Day Competition!

Congratulations to THOMBEAU!

Thom is the winner of a prize package from Canada that includes "Look and Feel Canadian Instantly Breath Spray!"

Succumb to the fantasy, Thom!

Product description: “Deep down, we all envy those charming, simple people to our north. While we Americans spread out around the world getting in all sorts of trouble, those carefree Canadians just go about their happy lives -- trout fishing, snowshoeing, and chugging down maple syrup. If you've ever wondered what it actually feels like to be Canadian, here's an amazing opportunity. "Look and Feel Canadian Instantly Breath Spray" allows you to experience the essence of Canada firsthand! Just close your eyes and spray a little of this peppermint-flavored miracle into your mouth. In your mind, you'll see the snow capped mountains of Saskatchewan, you'll hear the rushing streams of Edmonton, you'll smell the pungent moose droppings of Manitoba. Of course, once you open your eyes, you'll be back in the U.S.A. But the lingering peppermint flavor will remind you of the time you were almost a Canadian. And for the rest of your life, you'll find plaid shirts just a little less annoying.”

Thom wins the Canada Day Competition for this concise verse in which he captured the very essence of our nation…

Oh Canada, eh?

Eh, Canada. Oh.

And kudos to runner-up Damien Oz for this gem…

Oh Canada,
Thank you for your furry beaver.
For hockey-lads and dental retrievers.
For red pubes and anal heavers.


Oh Canada,
Thank you for Mistress MJ.
For her plump but pliant vay-jay.
For her gentle but stern "hey hey!!".


Oh Canada,
Thank you for for the funny.
For humpy men who melt my honey.
For MJ - who spanks my bunny.


Oh Canada,
Happy Birthday for you and ya!
For Toronto and Vancouvah!
For lamabsting the Quebecois!!


Mazel Tov Canada.


Thanks, Thombeau and Damien!

And thanks to EVERYONE who participated in our Canada Day Competition!

A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR OUR WINNER THOMBEAU AND RUNNER-UP DAMIEN!

And now a brief verse from Mistress MJ…

Mistress MJ is proud to be Canadian
Twenty-four seven
Circadian!

Button Polishing

Mistress MJ awoke to find this in her inbox…

Thanks, Thom.

And if you haven’t already visited the amazing Chateau Thombeau, hike up your petticoats and scuttle over there now!

Happy Easter, Bitches!

Just shut up and put on the bunny ears and bend over.



Oh what am I saying?

I can’t spend all day slapping you silly. I’m a busy woman. You can do it yourselves!

Why don’t you all watch this nice short film while I’m taking care of business …



[via our beloved Thom at Chateau Thombeau]

We know some of you have seen this before over at Thom’s but it never gets tired, does it?

And speaking of Chateau Thombeau, thanks for the shout-out, Thom. Love you!

A reminder that voting starts Monday and continues all day Tuesday for the How Not To Decorate Competition!

See you there.

Happy Birthday, Thombeau!

It all began innocently enough.

We were shopping online for houseboys when we discovered a bejeweled oasis of divine decadence; a galaxy of glamour; a kaleidoscope of camp and kitsch.

We had piloted our starship onto Planet Fabulon.

And we would never look back.



Cocktail in hand, houseboys at our beck and call, we flounced through the funhouse of fabulosity that is Fabulon.

Soon we would encounter the other inhabitants of this stunning celestial body: known to all as FABULONIANS.

You probably recognize a few of these Fabulonians for they include TJB (Stirred, Straight Up, With a Twist); Ayem8y (Mean Dirty Pirate); Mr. Peenee; Jason; Muscato; Damien; Mr. Peacock; Kevin; La Diva Cucina; Arthur Ignatowski and so many more!


The Fabulon Board of Directors


Naturally, you have questions.

What will you find when you visit Fabulon?

Thombeau speaks …

There's an open bar, an assortment of exotic fruit, dancing girls, house boys, bitter queens, aging seamstresses, snake charmers, Europeans, role models, dowagers, faeries, recovering goths, porn stars, starving artists, courtesans, survivors, pastry chefs, supermodels, ladies-in-waiting, native New Yorkers, sweet transvestites, sailors, club kids, high-priced hookers, bohemians, dandies, milliners, secret agents, sisters of Sappho, vampires, auteurs, voyeurs, poseurs, couturiers, friends of Dorothy, characters, hair hoppers, pharisees, contortionists, personal assistants, nuns, nymphomaniacs, disco dollies, jet setters, freedom fighters, cabaret singers, men of letters, gender benders, pundits, rainmakers, creatures of the night, exiled royalty, autodidacts, fetishists, cunning linguists, vaudevillians, lovers and other strangers, cads, choreographers, social butterflies, bodhisattvas, rough trade, show people, steppenwolves, living legends, new romantics, movers and shakers, stevedores, oenophiles, magicians, eunuchs, gorgons, twins, fishwives, starlets, harlots, non-conformists, coloraturas, ambassadors, hop heads, literati, swingers, imaginary friends, astronauts, vixens, bikers, leftists, gold diggers, gigolos, mesmerists, jockeys, ballerinas, braggarts, steampunks, hypocrites, hermaphrodites, dilettantes, millionaires, billionaires, zillionaires, and more wigs than you can shake a stick at. So start shaking your stick and join in the fun!


Basically, just another day on Fabulon!


“But what will I wear when I visit Fabulon?" you ask.

Thombeau speaks …

On Fabulon, there are no trends. If something was in fashion once, it is in fashion still. On Earth, or "the backward planet", they are subject to the whims of Time and Space. Thus, styles seem to come and go. Silly mortals! Fabulosity is eternal. THAT is the secret of Life! To that end, we have done our best to increase awareness of such accoutrements as the mantilla, the ruff, the cigarette holder...but there is so much more! The monocle, the lorgnette, spats, peplums, even the lowly merkin deserve not just to be remembered but to be displayed in the most ostentatious manner imaginable. Be it a dickey, an ear horn, a mood ring, a fez or a snood, nothing is too obscure. Wear them with pride, we say!




And so …

On behalf of the staff here at Infomaniac (Mistress MJ, The Houseboys, The Infomaniac Dancers and the Infomaniac Orchestra) we thank you Thombeau for your gifts of glitz and glamour.

Happy Birthday, Thombeau!

You’re faboo!
