Hey everyone!
As of yesterday, I officially graduated from Ryerson University’s Broadcast Journalism program. I can let out a sigh of relief before asking “Now what?”
Pride is in the air all across Church Street. I’m already over it. I plan on being in drag everyday. My face is going to hate me tremendously.
On June 23rd, I will be co-hosting the Pride launch party at Zelda’s from 8-11pm with Miss Conception, Georgie Girl, and Lena Over. I’m sure the audience will be thinking “One of these things is not like the other.” I hope I can keep up with these vets and legends.
Dressed as a Playboy bunny, I attended the fabulous Mansion party at the Courthouse on Friday night. Ben Gibson sure knows how to throw a party. Be on the look out for this up-and-coming promoter in the city. The venue was stunning. Lena Love was one of the go-go dancers, and I was in awe of her performance. Bitch knows how to dance! She put the male go-go dancer to shame. My right wing gal, Big Red, couldn’t help but point out “She looks like she knows what she’s doing. He just looks like an idiot.” If you don’t know who Big Red is, she is the newest drag queen bartender on the strip. Check her out at Zelda’s. She’s too funny for words.
I’m currently working on an Amy Winehouse wig. I know the character has been killed on Church Street among the queens, but I’m doing something different with Wino. I hope to unleash it soon at a Fierce Friday in the near future.
If you haven’t come to check out a Fierce Friday yet, don’t be afraid. Miss C and I don’t bite unless you’re a burger. Every Friday, from 9-11pm, my drag mommy and I take to the stage at Zelda’s. We do characters, parody songs, and just have a lot of fun. $4 cocktails all night long. We rotate audience contests every week. One week could be Mess in a Dress, where we transform audience members into drag queens, or we’ll do a best underwear contest for prizes donated by sponsors 103 9 PROUD FM, JockStrapCentral.com, Miss C’s Closet, and St. Marc’s Spa.
It seems a lot of people are breaking up with Pride approaching. A break up is never easy and it will always be an upsetting time in any person’s life. Recently, someone passed along to me some words of wisdom that seemed to stick. I’ll leave you with them.
“Think of each relationship as a gift. A cherished gift. You can take what you’ve learned from it and give that gift to someone new and special in your life.”
