How randomly surreal!  Last night I found myself, of all places, at the Empire State Building for of all things, a Lady Gaga impersonation contest.

The party, in the ground-floor Empire Club, wasn’t exactly mobbed, but fun still ensued with a ridiculous cast of drag queens, all of them much, much older than Gaga herself (who was performing at nearby Madison Square Garden).

The eyes reveal all.  DJ Miss Guy nodding on downers, Sherry Vine flying high on uppers.

All of Sherry’s fans showed up.

Get ready twist-off bottle—Sherry’s ready to pucker!

A startled Lady Bunny wakes from snoring.  Time to emcee the show!

Miss Guy shooting the evil eye when we requested some tunes made after 1985.

Bunny and Sherry begged me to sit with them to make it look like they were popular.

Sherry’s loose “tuck” helped distract from her “singing.”

The Gaga lookalike competition was not exactly stiff.

The winner received two tickets to see Gaga in concert.  Now don’t you wish you had entered?

…Did you catch RuPaul’s Drag Race on Monday?  NYC’s Mimi Imfurst, unloved by her sister contestants, was commanded to sashay away.  Her departure was not a surprise for NYC’s drag circuit.  Word on the street was that she was going to get booted on episode three, and, low and behold, she was.

Tsk, tsk, someone couldn’t keep a secret… Now who could that be?!

Bye bye Mimi.

…Speaking of reality shows and abrasive drag queens, Hedda Lettuce nabbed a role on Sundance Channel’s upcoming series about her former roomie, talented East Village courtier Garo Sparo, whose clients range from chic socialites to abrasive drag queens.

Undoubtedly Hedda will be extra combative—Nasty behavior equals air-time in Reality TV Land.  And she wasn’t hired for her looks…

…Lady Bunny is busy editing her latest video spoof after filming at La Escuelita nightclub.  Her target: the Cher and Christina cinematic clunker Burlesque.

Sounds cute, but in this new split-second era isn’t a YouTube parody of a movie that was released several months ago a little anti-climatic?  What’s next, Bunny’s version of Avator?

…One more note on Drag Race. Contestant Manila Luzon, also from NYC, and rumored to be gone within the next few episodes, has a name for her supporters.

Lady Gaga has her little monsters, Manila has “fanilas.”  Cute!

Manila got fanilas!
