    Campus Queen

    Destination: Providence, Rhode Island.  Mission: Emcee the annual drag pageant sponsored by Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design a.k.a. RISD. Little did I realize that the contestants would be so fierce, with many of the queens high-kicking to current dance hits in skin-tight leotards!

Absolutely furious, I wrote a stern and crusading letter to the company’s website.  Seriously! Now, with a calmer frame of mind, I’m reflecting…

    Red Carpet Dragster Damiana Garcia!

    I always get a kick out of super-perky lady reporter Damiana Garcia, whose videos appear on the pop-culture website The WOW Report.
