Last night I went to The Legend of Yma Sumac, a multi-media tribute to the Peruvian diva, who was famed for her operatic singing voice.

Directed by Steve Willis, the show weaves historical film footage and lipsynching musical numbers performed by stunningly beautiful drag performer Scarlet Envy (who’s also very sweet, damn her!)

The show is great! A visual and aural delight!

You can still it. The final show is on March 29th.

I’ve never really been that interested in my genealogy, but one of my cousins reminded me lately that my great-grandfather on my father’s side was an Irish immigrant. He came to this country via Canada and never got his American citizenship. I’m a descendent of an illegal immigrant.

Happy St. Pat’s Day!

Too cold to go outside!

At last week’s NADA New York art fair, photographer Lucas Michael took polaroids of me and other lovely participants in the “Contemporary Drag” program, curated by Gordon Robichaux (artists Sam Gordon and Jacob Robichaux).

You can see all the photos at New York Magazine’s website, make sure to check it out!

Lucas’ series is an ode to Warhol’s “Ladies and Gentlemen” series from 1975, featuring his polaroids of drag queens and trans women.

So I guess I’m kind of a modern Warhol superstar… right?  Well at least a Polaroid princess!
