As the celebration of Gay Pride winds down, a fitting Faces of Boulder Pic of the Day comes from a drag queen show at Morning Glory in Lafayette.    

On Friday night, Morning Glory in Lafayette hosted a Drag Queen Show. My first. Debi’s first. What craziness! This was a mix of adult humor, a parade of the Khloe Khloecrew, and cross-dressing men.

To the immediate North-West, about the same distance away, lies Rocky Mountain National Park: a gem by which the sparkle of all other gems is measured. Once upon a time, before COVID-19, getting out of the park was […]

One of Boulder’s Bobbie Feldman’s many claims to fame is authoring “My Boyfriend’s Back.” This classic pop song performed by The Angels, dropped in 1963. However, the songwriters for “My Boyfriend’s Back” were credited as the team of Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein, and Richard Gottehrer,  The song  also recorded by the Chifons, tells the story […]

Boulder Sunrise, like the Flatirons and the Foothills, never looks the same. Every time I look at the mountains, every time for over 49 years, they look different. Every photograph, painting, and other representation from earrings to necklaces is different. I love them all. Some are meditative, calm, while others are far more dramatic. A […]
