Halloween Extended Holiday Update!

(In honor of the sacred Halloween holiday, “Every Night in Drag” is postponed this week. Updates continue next week.)

I couldn’t wait to start the Halloween festivities. I’ve already gone out in costume two nights in a row!

Saturday’s snowstorm forced me to resort to an all-weather look. So I grabbed my old reliable clown outfit with the honking rubber nose.

I ended up at Xanadu, the roving dance party, which was held at a Manhattan loft space, up six flights of stairs! The place was packed with tons of cute guys in all sorts of great get-ups.

The Swimming Pools performed a rousing set, with hostess Sylvia London joining Christophe (left) and Daniel on vocals. (Sylvia was a "man-eater," thus her crusty blood.)

Love the Leigh Bowery tribute! (Justin and Cory were grateful to me for helping them get boobs!)

And last night, Halloween Eve, I also opted to cover my face.

I went to Tranny Strip at Evolve on East 58th, which was an absolute blast. For the costume contest I tied for first place with Amy Winehouse (my pal Cathy Valdez)! I won $40! I'm rich!

More Halloween shenanigans to come!

Because of the snowy weather, tonight’s Halloween Party at Frying Pan restaurant and bar has been cancelled! I will not be hosting costume contest!

But I will still be at Le Bingo! (See Events on right for details.)

Faggy Fashion Fridays – Holiday Hoods

Up until age 10, you can get away with wearing a cute Halloween costume.

After that, you look really corny. As an adult, sexy and sinister is where it’s at. (Listen up all you 11-year-olders!)

Hoods are perfect for achieving a kinky holiday look, and they can be paired with virtually anything, from a business suit to a ballerina tutu. Behold these fetish-gear masterpieces from Slick it Up.

OMG, it looks like they’re on sale!

Can Amanda Lepore Make Me Rich?

Prices were refreshingly low at Pop Souk, the smash-hit shopping bazaar organized by Ms. Ladyfag this past weekend.

The few pricier items included “Time Tranny,” a rare Swatch Watch from 2000 adorned with a photo by David LaChapelle of his transsexual muse Amanda Lepore.

The seller wanted $300. I hope he got it because I have the watch, too!
