Blue smoke is oil..Ur motor is burnig oil..
It sounds like ur valve seals are bad ..

If ur headgasket was shot or going bad the smoke would be white when u rev..

Check that the oil (you think is coming from your head gasket) isn't actually coming from the cam seal and vtec solenoid (also called the spool valve). They leak and the oil runs down the head and sits on the head gasket on the corner and looks like a head gasket leak. It is VERY common for those to leak. You can replace both seals with a socket set a torque wrench (although I didn't use one) and about 1/2 an hour. They are very easy to do. They go hard with age. While you are at it, replace the rocker cover gasket and the four rubber o-rings that seal the spark plug wells at the same time. There's a good chance that they will all be the same age. This may solve the oil in your spark plug problem too.
