  • My New Car

    As a drag performer, I’m constantly taking taxis. Often I wish I could just take the subway, but it would cause too much of a commotion.  And the lighting is not flattering!

But I skipped the infamous Black Party itself.  (In fact, I’ve never attended.  Someday I’ll go… Maybe.)
