Grace Jones: Bloodlight And Bami

My partner watches all those “Making A Murderer” sort of documentaries where they investigate old crime cases with people who are wrongfully imprisoned. He gets annoyed by the injustices of the judicial system due to one’s socioeconomic status. When he goes off about it I plaster a smile on my face, go to my mental…

Top 5 Craptastic Christmas Classics

I have never claimed to have cinematic taste. Give me a trashy B-list celebrity cult flick or made for TV movie any day. So when I discovered that Hulu had a holiday section with trashy Christmas rom-com’s, I was all over it. There may only be 12 Days Of Christmas but there’s way more horrible…

Ingrid Michaelson’s Songs For The Season

This time of year I’m always curious to see which divas are releasing Christmas albums.

My Gayest Weekend Ever in New York City was coming to an end after having met Stockard Channing and doing Drag Con but I pushed my luck and attempted to meet one more diva before calling it a weekend. The Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction sells autographed merchandise, show props, and Broadway memorabilia to…

Gayest Weekend Ever Part Two : Drag Con

I awoke Sunday to a beautiful New York City day, sunny and in the 60’s, with memories of the night before still at the forefront of my mind after having met Stockard Channing. After breakfast my partner and I went our separate ways since my weekend was about to get even too gay for him,…

Cher’s Dancing Queen

I’m not religious so I don’t go to church to confess my sins to the holy dude in the secret closet. However, I will confess my ultimate gay sin here…I don’t like ABBA. Blasphemy, I know! That haunting noise heard across the land was all the gays of the past, present and future gasping in…
