What would you add to the Cougar Mother’s Day Gift Guide?

- First season DVDs of Glee and How I Met Your Mother. Glee’s Rachel Berry is the perfect example of what can go wonderfully right and horribly wrong with the child of two gay dads, while fellow real-life gay dad Neil Patrick Harris became America’s Sweetheart again thanks to How I Met Your Mother, or as I like to refer to it, The Only Reasonably Watchable Show on CBS.

- Origins Anti-aging serum. If there’s one thing gay dad needs is the reassurance that though he may be getting old, he’s still looks better than the other moms on the PTA. Sure, without the stress of childbirth he’s already ahead of the game, but why not put off the Botox train’s imminent arrival with Origins Plantscription Anti-aging serum. It’s clinically proven to help fight and reverse advanced visible aging signs…the gift that keeps on (subtly) hinting.

- Patti Lupone: A Memoir. Every gay dad needs to be in touch with his inner diva; it’s like his animal spirit, the guiding light of the days of the one life he has to live. And Patti Lupone can get anyone in painfully close contact with their inner diva. Her autobiography is basically one artistic triumph followed by one hysteric diva meltdown followed by one near-career-ending fall – lather, rinse, repeat. Give dad the drama he craves this Mother’s Day, or he’ll happily provide his own.

- Duckie Brown classic plaid shorts. Nothing says Happy Mother’s Day like good ole men’s tailoring. Ladies, am I right? Okay, maybe that’s not necessarily true, but gay dads are not traditionally honored on Mother’s Day, so why not give them something equally non-traditional? Duckie Brown adds more than a fair share of sass and slouch to men’s clothing and though my first instinct draws me to these drop-crotch pants, for gay dad a pair of fun, fashionable shorts that can take him from the grill to the bath house and back again seems a tad more appropriate.

- Tickets to Priscilla, Queen of the Desert on Broadway. With reviews like this: “Every conceivable surface has been decked with sequins, spattered with colored lights, plastered in mirrored chips or trimmed in feathers and fringe,” how could anyone resist? A feel-good musical about the original mothers of the world — drag queens — in a series of outlandish costumes and a disco ball’s worth of dance-pop hits, a trip to Priscilla will give gay dad a Mother’s Day he won’t likely forget…particularly with the number of buff, nearly naked go-go boys traipsing about. You gotta give daddy what he wants.

Take a minute to gather yourself… and now consider this:
Giving the Facial Flex as a Mother’s Day present is only slightly backhanded, but a tight pretty face might just be the greatest gift of all.

Price of admission: One Earth Pledge.

Goodie bag: A tree is planted in each attendee’s honor.

Let’s Tarantino the concert backwards for you:

Before bringing the house down with a Drops of Jupiter encore finale, Train’s vocal virtuoso Patrick Monahan walked singing through the crowd with a mic and a security guard, giving hugs and spreading love to Marry Me. Before that, he brought the audience to a hush as he sang a cappella, sans microphone, turning Webster Hall into a true theater. With Soul Sister came the involuntary sing along, and Meet Virginia struck a deep chord toward the start. In betwixt all of this, he called up eight young ladies up to be the Trainettes, making them rockstars for a moment.  Needless to say, their new single Save me, San Francisco drove the audience wild, like every one of their singles that get stuck in our heads indefinitely.

Opening for Train was the stunning Nikki Jean. Down in her core she is a songwriter with a nostalgic soul. Her new album took her around the country to write with some of the greatest living songwriters like Bob Dylan, Carole King, Burt Bacharach, Carly Simon and many others. What was gained is a young songstress now evolving with the wisdom of the legends of our time. There were notes of those greats in the atmosphere as she serenaded the audience on the ivory keys.

Right before Nikki Jean took the stage, the winners of the Origins Rocks Earth Month Green Artist Search Treetop Flyers haunted the audience with tickling guitar riffs and voices smooth as honey. Chaps from England have a way with music.

Before any of this went down, FashionIndie caught up with Train on the Green Carpet as they entered. We asked them, how do they take the green initiative upon themselves?

Pat Monahan: “We haven’t just woken up to hey, take care of the earth. And this isn’t, take care of the earth. The earth will win. It’s take care of the future children we want to have. Love your job and the other things will come. We love our job and it makes us want to be more helpful, and do events like this.“

Scott Underwood: “We’re reducing our footprint as a band. We used to use lots of bottles of water, and we’re trying to fully eliminate it. We’re trying to green our bus, but we’re not always there in there.”

Jimmy Stafford: “We did the John Mayer tour, and bands like us, come in requesting the venues to be green. We’re making those demands now, but it will become more common.

See who else was on the Green Carpet:

Kelli Tomashoff (L): Known from NYC Prep, she’s just released her single Gave Up On Love. She’s trying to be greener by using fewer water bottles, and her own shopping bags.

Dalal Bruchmann (R): This young musical phenom just dropped her new single Taste The Night and has written songs for wildlife charities to save the world.

Julissa Bermudez: Co-host on BET’s 106 & Park, she looked sizzling in Kimberly Ovitz.

Jane Lauder: Global President & General Manager of Origins has so many ways to be green, I don’t think it’s possible to name all of them here. She’s planting trees, recycling tons of used makeup containers, and continuing to ensure Origins is completely natural.

Jeff Miles: The night’s MC from 95.5 PLJ moved to NY from Dalla, TX, so for him going completely carless is a huge step in greening his life.
