I've lost both my parents. My father passed away when I was younger, and I never thought to ask him questions, also. With my mother, I asked her so many questions, usually with a glass of wine over a jigsaw puzzle. She was such an open book, I found out things I probably didn't want to know. But her hand is still on my heart.
get a pint of mango sorbet and use that for ice the next time you make a marg then get frozen strawberries and use them for ice when you make a marg pop rocks on top and you get a Sizzlin Strawberry Marg. mega mango 1st.
So, I had no idea you were in To Wong Foo! I found you through Garrett Watts and thought you were amazing. Then I rewatched that movie and screamed in my living room THATS COCO!! You are stunning then and now. Blessings doll!
@@luvspurple1969 I'm so excited now I'm going to run to it tomorrow. I'm a really big Patrick Swayze fan is well and really miss him. Love Stockard Channing to. There was a great movie all around. It really did have a lot to do with introducing mainstream to the community.
Coco, I'll try to keep this short. One day, I think I was about twenty-four, and I had just seen Mommie Dearest maybe the week before on TV, and I'm in the car with my mom, and I say in passing "I guess Joan Crawford went broke before she died, huh?" and my mom said "Joan Crawford! No she never went broke believe me. She used to drive me crazy when I worked at Magnin's." And then she told me this whole story about how she always hated it when Joan Crawford showed up at I. Magnin's in San Francisco in the '50s, because Joan Crawford would spend half the day in there buying out the dress department, and my poor mother would be running herself ragged waiting on Joan Crawford hand and foot. And I thought "and I'm just finding out about this NOW?!" I don't think I've hosted a brunch in the past 35 years where I haven't told that story. To tell you the truth, the kids are probably getting kind of tired of it. But you know it's their legacy. One day they'll be thankful.
I went to your high school, which just might freak you out. However, I graduated in 1968, lotsa years before you did. We had our 50th Reunion late in 2018 and I learned that many of us moved on to embrace diversity. I am proud to have graduated from that school, which includes the amazing Justice Sotomayor, and you too. Hugs. I do enjoy your videos!
My own mother passed away from cancer at the age of just 50. She was my best friend. One of the reasons I love your videos is because she had the very same spirit, shopping with her was always so hilarious and fun. She would make fun of everything. She would have loved your channel. I wish she was still here. Anyways thank you for this lovely video Miss Coco and for helping me through this rough time. Love never dies!!
That picture of your mom and dad is so cute… again what a great story… I could listen to you all day... have you ever thought about doing a podcast… anyway thanks again for this wonderful video… I absolutely adore you…❤️
Ohhhh, Helen & Clint were gorgeous - and, both that photo and its frame are positively lovely!! *Miss*Coco* Darling, i truly do think that "today's instalment, #7", was certainly THE most precious of them all...!!! ~Love you ... love you ... love you ... soooo, very much!
Absolutely gorgeous. And while you kept it together, Coco, when you recited the Mary Chapin Carpenter song, I lost it and get tears all over my keyboard. That doesn't bother me. I'm proud of those damned tears.
These thoughts have really kept me moving forward. Grounded, even knowing that this time we are going through will be one day another story to tell. And that story will be unique to each person that tells it. You however are a born storyteller, and whenever I hear you speak I want to drop onto the nearest pillow and just listen. Thank you for sharing.
Grief over losing my Mother seems to be an impossible journey for me...and I AM SOOOO EXHAUSTED from it! I LOVE looking at old photos like this....your quotes from that song made a LOT of sense....even though I am older now I can never picture my parents being "younger than me". I look at a picture when they were 25 and even through my 55 yr old eyes they are still older than me....it's really an odd time-shifting thing my brain does.....maybe I'm just insane....possible....
Coco, I love hearing you talk about growing up in the seventies, I start reminiscing about the seventies and remember my own life, you and I are around the same age. I baked in the sun with baby oil, but my group of friends put betadine in the baby oil as well. You know we never used sunscreen. Had to have that tropical glow. When I was very young and went to the beach all you could smell was coppertone suntan lotion, then in 1979, Hawaiian tropic oil or lotion, it's funny how smells project us back in time as well. The smell of a certain cologne or perfume. My Mother always wore Channel #5. Her favorite perfume. Thank you for the fond memories. Take care and be safe. Love you.
These videos have now become part of my daily routine. Thank you for being so amazing at bringing people comfort and enrichment during this prolonged, depressing solitude.
You're so blessed to still have your mom. My mom died 4 years ago (Dad died 40 years ago when I was 22). Over the years, Mom would share stories of their childhood (they grew up in the same small town), their courtship and early years together. She also shared family stories about my grandparents and great-grandparents. Stories were shared over coffee, over meals or just over the phone. Still find myself wanting to call her to share a moment. Thanks for these wonderful videos. Hope you'll consider continuing the series after the COVID19 era. Stay safe, lovey.
Coco! We have little ornament frames of our loved ones on our tree every year. My parents eloped after 2 weeks of meeting each other, and stayed together until Daddy’s death. Thanks for these stories.
My dad passed in October but I haven't processed it yet... He used to tell me many of his stories and left a couple written down in a notebook. He was my best friend and I miss his so much, especially now... Thank you for these videos Coco! Please keep them coming
Yes! Ask questions of your loved ones. Have a conversation because one day it will be too late. I have begun asking my parents, who are in their 80’s, about their youth. Not only is it hugely entertaining but it increases the bond one shares with ones own. Love you Coco.
Old photos of family are everything to me. Parents and grandparents are precious when they mean that much to you. But if I have nothing else i have my memories.
CoCo you remind me of my Aunts & Uncles from the Bronx , when i was a kid/teen/young adult, i would ask them all sort of questions, now i am the Family Historian , who passes on the stories to my nephews & neices ...thank you for this
That was a great story about your parents. I lost my dad a couple of years ago and I miss him so much. I’m so lucky to still have my mama. I am her caregiver now and she has great stories like yours does. I love hearing them. Love you Coco. ❤️
That little picture and frame is what love looks like. Thanks Coco for these videos, great diversion from the corona nightmare. This video does not bother me!
So very precious and heartfelt. Thank you for sharing your story about your parents. So sweet. My parents are both 89. So blessed to have them, but life is so different for them and the family. But treasure every moment I’m able to spend with them. 💓☀️🌷😘
Love you more now, your story moved me to tears, also love you more now because I love Mary Chapin Carpenter's beautiful voice and song writing as well.
Thanks so much for sharing yet again, beautiful memories of your family Miss Coco Peru. Self-isolation here in Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺 Even Bondi Beach is closed. Your video's help lift the melancholy mania many of us are feeling. If you get the chance, watch Priscilla Queen of the Desert. You'll love it ! Choockers 😉🥂 Stay strong 💞
We love you from Miami Arizona! A place you and yours must visit. "Coco goes to the wrong Miami." Meanwhile thank you so much for your socially connective stories. You are doing a small little heroic thing, which is really big of you.
Such a powerful message that we often take for granted until it’s too late. Although my parents are still alive, my youngest sister was suddenly taken from us in a car accident a couple of years ago. The pain still burns profoundly and I’m at least glad we had such a close relationship and our last memory was so happy. Sometimes that’s what got me through some very dark moments. Stay safe everyone ❤️
100% AGREE with you CoCo but I found that out too late!!!! I lost my dad Aug 2018 and my mom March 2019.......7 months apart and I CONSTANTLY keep asking myself "Now why didn't I ask mom/dad about this or why didn't I ask mom/dad about that" Ooooh yeah I miss them TERRIBLY!!!! Needless to say March is a VERY hard month for me........just lost my best friend on the 24th.......been the VERY BEST of friends for 30+ yrs.........MAN OH MAN been a ROUGH and I mean ROUGH month for me!!!!! Anyway DEFINITELY get what ya saying CoCo.......once again TYSVM for the Solitude moments......it helps SOOOO MUCH to listen to your stories of your "big things"!!!!! PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING!!!!!!!
Just listened to “Come on Come on “ so, beautiful! It's a photograph taken in Paris, at the end of the honeymoon In 1948, late in the month of June Your parents smile for the camera in sienna shades of light Now you're older than they were then that summer night
There are positives that have come out of this quarantine and one of those is having all of these videos from you. I look forward to each one. You have such a soothing and kind voice Love you COCO ❤️❤️🥰
What a lovely sentiment shared here. Coco, you can be so fierce, and yet so tender. Thank you for this touching post. Keeping it so real during these troubled times.
Thank You Darling, These little videos are so important to our sanity in these frightening times. Stay safe and I look forward to seeing you out in Ptown sometime soon. Love Richard from Boston
Coco, you are so wholesome and wonderful! I love you so much! I shared your videos with my mom, because she needs uplifting. You are a GIFT and I encourage you to keep doing what you are doing- because we love it!
I love you Coco Peru. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing these most precious and heartfelt little/big things. I will make it a point to share with my loved ones, friends and family in such an open and honest way. Stay safe. Stay well.
Thank you for sharing Miss Coco. I so miss my parents. I catch myself at times wanting to ask my mom a question and remember that she is gone. So true, talk with your parents about their life and listen to the stories. Love you, Miss Coco Peru!!! ❤🥰❤
Whoever downvoted this: you bother me.
Agreed!!
😂👋
I was thinking the same thing. Why down vote this beautiful story.
They’re bulk garbage
@@kencopeland3471 , you are hilarious!!!!

But her hand is still on my heart.
Please write a book, I'd be the first to buy it, I love all your stories.
Annette Calandriello Agreed fully! And reading it to be able to listen to it on audible would be THE best!!
Listening to Coco on my balcony drinking a margarita!! Coco is so right, it’s the little things 💕
get a pint of mango sorbet and use that for ice the next time you make a marg
then get frozen strawberries and use them for ice when you make a marg
pop rocks on top and you get a Sizzlin Strawberry Marg. mega mango 1st.
I’m snuggling with my cat drinking coffee. I know my cat is one of the biggest things. ❤️
Thank You, "Always putting up her goddamn Christmas tree!" That was a moment ❤❤❤
So, I had no idea you were in To Wong Foo! I found you through Garrett Watts and thought you were amazing. Then I rewatched that movie and screamed in my living room THATS COCO!! You are stunning then and now. Blessings doll!
What a fabulous movie that was wasn't it. I will definitely be enjoying that this weekend. Stay safe and be well.
LOVE that movie as a matter of fact I just watched it again today lol

Thank you so much! Please consider editing these into a webseries. Much appreciated for keeping us sane during these times.
Coco is like having a friend that you always wanted full of love and so comforting.
Your parents, Anne and Gilbert of Green Gables

Mary Chapin Carpenter!!! 🥰🥰🥰 I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Smoking a joint and sipping my cuppa tea while listening to you is taming the tension felt during these last few weeks ❤
Have you tried tension tamer? Coco can never find it! LOL
How I WORK EVERY DAY to eventually get to a place where I can legally relate....
That picture of your mom and dad is so cute… again what a great story… I could listen to you all day... have you ever thought about doing a podcast… anyway thanks again for this wonderful video… I absolutely adore you…❤️

Beautiful. Just like you.
I lost my older sister, Mom, and Dad within a period of 9 months. I still have so many questions. Ask those questions while you're able. Thanks Coco!
These videos have now become part of my daily routine. Thank you for being so amazing at bringing people comfort and enrichment during this prolonged, depressing solitude.
Your father, Coco, was a very handsome man. There's a lot of love in that photo!
Kinda hot. So Coco's a jr? Who knew?

This is my favourite story of all of them 🥰 Love you Coco
Watching you tell us stories helps me forget about the mess we are all in right now. Thanks Coco
This is so moving. I lost both parents a few months ago and you brought the tears back to my eyes...in a good way though
