Does Wikipedia Hate Drag Queens?
I’m not sure how Wikipedia chooses images for its drag queen articles, but flattering photos are obviously not a priority.
The article on Wigstock, the famed outdoor drag festival, is accompanied by a "comical" image of founder Lady Bunny and Sherry Vine at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival. How utterly random!
For her article, NYC performer Hedda Lettuce gets a lovely caught-in-mid-sentence shot.
Lucky porn director Chi Chi LaRue is provided with a stark daytime portrait.
Drag legend Divine—unretouched and poorly-cropped.
They couldn't find a photo of Dame Edna looking at the camera?
RuPaul's pix include this out-of-drag gotcha shot.
The evidence is clear: Wikipedia is a threat to the well-being and looks of the drag community!

Faggy Fashion Fridays—Halston to the Dancefloor!
Yakked with Lady Bunny last night about her cabaret show (extended through November) and the recent party she attended at Studio 54, a high-profile SiriusXM Radio event meant to evoke the wild disco era.
No surprise that it fell short. (Many party goers weren’t even dancing, says Bunny, who kept to the theme by bringing poppers.)
Oh well, better to relive Studio 54 via old photos, including this 1979 after-dark Halston advertising spread (scanned from my ancient files).
A model portrays Halston, and is that “first supermodel” Janice Dickinson on the far left in the top photo? Other Halstonettes include Karen Bjornson, Pat Cleveland, Sterling St. Jacques and Roseanne Vela. Disco!

Occupy Times Square!
Twelve-thousand hits?!
The Youtube video I posted in February of Lady Bunny, Miss Understood and me vs. Black Israelites in Times Square has become a semi-viral sensation, and generated load of, uh, colorful comments.
Some have condemned the gals and I as devil sodomites (which in Bunny and Miss U’s case is completely accurate)!
Thanks again to my pal Bernhard Blythe who shot the footage!
