“Aw honey… You’re not!” – I quote this reply from my all-time favorite character on the silver-screen, Miss Noxeema Jackson (Wesley Snipes) in “To Wong Foo, thanks for everything, Julie Newmar” (1995); it was at a club, when supermodel Naomi Campbell calls out to Noxeema and said, “I wish I was as beautiful as you.” And boy did we or did we not we love it when the well-muscled Noxeema gave her reply…
Ok – so reality check; what’s this got anything to do with me?
… Yeah yeah so ok, here goes. I do sometimes get all these ‘I wish I was’ or similarly things like ‘I wish I could be you…’ or perhaps ‘I hope I could be somewhat like you someday…’ notions and stuff. Flattering, yes – but I guess in today’s note all I’m trying to say, well, it might sound bitchy but believe me, its for a very good cause – ok, take it as a firm-bitchy kindda thingy, like what Miss Jackson did – and stop giving false hope I guess. False hope? *BLUR* Yer la, false hopes like “yeah sure you can be me” or “you will be me if”… semuanya tu misleading lah…
Here’s how I see it…
Firstly, one can hope to be somewhat like me someday, archiving what I’ve accomplished in my years in the pageant and show biz… Yes gal, you work your butts out and work your way through all the hurdles and challenges in life, I guarantee you, you might just be somewhat someone better than me, someday soon… Just remember your goals, never let anyone put your down, never let ppl stop what you believe in and what you want to accomplish, and there you have it, you’re on top of your world…
But to those wishing to be me, just like me and be no different than me, getting what I’ve gotten, archiving what I’ve archived and being just like me, then I got one thing to say, just… FAT CHANCE (owh wait that’s two words). There can never be two of a kind… nuff said.
No this ain’t another one of those notes to brag about myself or talking serious-shit-no-joke thingy! It’s about being you and wanting the best out of who you really are. Yes, you can have idols. Yes, you can have role-models. But by the end of the day, its just you and who you’ll turn out to be, tu jer. Everyone has their own paths in life. I’ve got mine. I’ve went through my times, my hurdles, my challenges – you can’t expect to go through the same thing and end up being the same me? Well the ‘go through the same thing’ tu, well, maybe. But the end-of-the day result, nah – you won’t be me, or anyone yang u wished to be to. You can only wish but whats the point of wishing when you know that wish can never come true? So be true to yourself, cherish who you are coz in the end, what you are is what truly matters and what counts, is what you’ll be when you truly appreciate yourself…
You dig?

Owh how I wish the maker of this great drag movie would consider of “To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar – 2009 (Part 2)”, kan? It’ll be a blast, kan?
