lush life

Lush life means a life of luxury with an exciting night life, a sophisticated outlook, and plenty of partying. It may have originated with the song Billy Strayhorn wrote for Duke Ellington's band in the 1930s in which he speaks of a weariness of "jazz and cocktails," and "women with sullen and sad grey faces" after a love affair has gone bad. That song, along with "Take The A Train," became classics for Ellington.

His lush life came to an end when he ran out of money and his friends ran out on him.

Lushball

A social alcoholic that convinces themselves that it is ok because others participate as well. Lushballs always roll in packs. Typically if one Lushball is going to have a cocktail there will be a domino effect and all Lushballs in the vicinity will need to imbibe. Always a good time, at least that's what the other Lushballs think. Blackouts are not uncommon and not frowned upon.

I really wanted to drink last Tuesday but I didn't have a wingman so I called my Lushballs. Then I blacked out.

Matthew Lush

Matthew Lush is gay YouTube vlogger who has been internet famous likely for longer than a portion of his fans have been alive. He got his start on Myspace in 2005, and got the username "GayGod" when his original account got deleted and fans instantly flocked to his new one. His friend said he was "like a gay god" and the name just stuck. Matthew was also known for doing live shows on Stickam, a live streaming service that shut down in 2013. He later branched out to YouTube, opening his Lush channel in 2005, and GayGod in 2006. In 2007 he was #7 most subscribed, and became one of the first YouTube partners. He was still Myspace famous at this time, having nearly 400,000 friends at his peak. Years down the line, his internet fame started to slow down. However, in 2013 he started uploading to YouTube more consistently, and eventually grew both of his channels to over 1 million subscribers. In 2015, he had a dispute with Lush Cosmetics over them re-claiming his YouTube username "Lush", and he started a boycott campaign. In late 2017, Matthew put a pause on his Lush vlog channel and has yet to resume it. As of 2018, Matthew is still doing YouTube on GayGod, streaming on YouNow almost daily, interacting with his fans through Twitter, and is still a vegan (of nearly 12 years).

Matthew Lush and his fans are boycotting Lush Cosmetics.
