Hello gentle readers. Due to the impending hurricane my shows in PTOWN on Thursday and Friday have been canceled and I am trapped in NYC until the storm passes. Secretly I am glad. Well it is not much of a secret since I’m telling you. My summer peaked on Tuesday when we filmed the DRAGTASTIC special for LOGO and I have crashed hard from the experience. The last thing I wanted to do was get into a car last night and travel 6 hours to PTOWN only to be trapped indoors while a hurricane roared overhead. Besides my apartment in NYC needs some serious TLC and I need to slow down a bit, catch my breath and regroup. I have a busy fall season ahead of me, which I am grateful for, and I must direct my focus there. Otherwise I will be swimming against the current watching my wig being swept away and banged against the rocks. If all works out I will be returning to PTOWN on Saturday to pack my belongings and spend some quality time with friends before my grand departure on Thursday the 9th.

Stay fresh,

Hello gentle Americans. Yesterdays filming of DRAGTASTIC (for LOGO) went marvelously, though it was an incredibly long day. 12 hours we were in drag filming various bits for the show-getting in makeup, getting in and out of limos (grueling huh?), interviews and finally our performance filmed in front of a live audience. By the end of the day my nuts so wanted to be set free from underneath their protective layer of pantyhose I could actually hear them squealing in agony. My feet were screaming louder, but luckily between takes I was able to remove my shoes, I was not able to take my nuts out. Though I think that would have made for a great X-Tube video.

My comedy set started out a bit rough, the audience had just watched over and hour and a half of show with Mimi Imfurst, Pandora Box, Kelly Mantle and Bianca Del Rio; had a 20 minute intermission and were now asked to sit through another hour of show. But once they warmed up to me and I warmed up to them the comedy was just rolling from my glossy mouth. Everyone involved was fabulous, an incredible range of variety and the delightfully urban Harmonica Sunbeam closed the show with a bedtime story about Goldie Locks and The Three Bears set in a NYC project that project that had us in tears. Luckily my mascara was waterproof. Here is a little video of me behind the scenes getting my makeup retouched:
