I learn so much from visiting photographer Jeff Eason’s NYC nightlife website.

 

Big sparkly drag-pageant necklaces are fashionable, popular, common.

 

 

Gusty Winds’ eyebrows have reached new heights!

 

 

Ladyfag’s armpits are bushier than ever!  And shedding!

With British performer Pam Ann.

 

 

RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Raja owns the world’s largest purse!

With model Andrej Pejic.

 

 

Coco Peru has finally, finally changed her hairstyle!!!!!

 

 

But for how long…?

 

Barney’s department store bash celebrated the hatching of “Gaga’s Workshop,” a holiday boutique featuring collectable Lady G knick knacks.

Gaga was there—before I arrived!  From what I heard, she pretty much just walked in, then walked out.

But the party continued…

 

Iggy looking divine! Could Gaga ever pull off this look?

 

Celso looked divine! Could Gaga ever pull off this look?

 

Christophe (center) of the art collective Assume Vivid Astro Focus (who designed the workshop) wore a reflective material that wrecked havoc on photo taking. On the right are DJ Honey Dijon and my pal Edmundo.

 

Sophia Lamar dismissed the party as tired. How unusual for her to complain!

 

Designer Philippe Blond was blond.

 

Celso's eyes! Plus Peter and me.

 

I was getting fuzzy—time to go. Thanks Miss Gaga! Best of luck with your new shop!

I was so wiped out yesterday from my three-nights-in-a-row Halloween marathon that I didn’t get around to posting my final pix until now.

 

For those of you keeping score, I started out on Saturday night in my always dependable clown suit.

I love circus animals!

 

On Halloween Eve, I was an alien sea-monster kind of gal.

Can you believe it, I ended up bringing home a really hot trannychaser! I told him I didn't have on makeup, but he was like, no problema!

 

For Halloween itself it was Devil Time!

Stopped at my friend Ann's for some posing.

 

I spent most of the night at the rock & roll party “Oh You Pretty Things” at Le Poisson Rouge and had an absolute blast.

Worship me, strange creatures!

 

Bring me another cocktail!

 

Today I came upon a Halloween costume pop-up store that was closing down.  Today was its last day, with all merchandise at 50% off.  The selection was spotty, but I ended up buying $60 worth of stuff!  There were some items I can wear anytime, like tights and false eyelashes, and the other stuff will make good Bingo prizes.  And it’s never too early to start planning next year…

(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.

Occupy Clown Street!

 

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.)

 

I'm nuts for nun costumes!

 

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.

Woman of mystery.

 

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!

 

I celebrated with Jacko!

More Halloween shenanigans to come!

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!

 

No, the devil horns do not mean I’m going as Michele Bachmann!

I’m simply going as a devilish vixen, which is something I’ve done before but the result was not fantastic.  Time to improve!

Since Halloween always means lots of tromping around I’m praying (to Satan) that my new heels aren’t killers.

And I’m planning layers in case the weather is cold.  (As a Minnesota gal I’m always prepared!)

On my shopping list: sparkly fabric to be made into a dramatic cape.  Garment district, here I come!
