Come join us at Hydrate in Chicago, 7-9pm for our special What Not to Wear Viewing Party!Kids, say hello to your new mommy!

Teri Yaki’s been working hard to transform herself into Amanda Steinstein, for our very special What Not to Wear/Feast of Fools viewing party at Hydrate in Chicago on Oct 17 (yes, the date changed from the 10th)

Watch on a jumbo screen as Fausto Fernós and Marc Felion raid Amanda’s closest, try on some of her clothes, stalk her around town and then surprise her with a makeover in this reality TV show.

We spent many days this summer being the concerned friends, stalking Amanda Steinstein even breaking into her apartment while she was gone to ruffle through her wardrobe, costumes and tiaras. Yes, tiaras.

The crew told us that our episode is probably the gayest one ever and that Amanda was the most challenging person (read:worst dressed) they have ever had on the show.

This is a must watch episode- plus, prizes, games, gifts and giveaways! I didn’t happen to mention the bar is “hosted” did I? Glug glug!

Jane Russell Surrounded by Gay Hunks

Peaches Christ talks about films originally made for women, but that have taken on a life of their own as camp classics for gay men in “Chick Flicks for Gay Men” .

Here’s a clip from the 1953 film “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” where Jane Russell’s character is on a cruise ship surrounded by the U.S. Men’s Olympic Team. For for some reason this all male scantily clad group is not attracted to poor Jane at all. Could it be that they are all gay? Well, all the butt shaking routines choreographed by Jack Cole could certainly suggests exactly that.

Jack Cole was one of Hollywood’s great gay choreographers and is noted for creating “theater dance.” Cole’s unmistakable style influenced the work of people like Bob Fosse and Tommy Tune and countless other directors of music videos, theater and film. I wonder how many drag queens in the world today owe their style of performance to this great man?

From his biography, he was said to be a demanding and relentless taskmaster in his pursuit of dance excellence. Check it out for yourself.

Why Mask?

Why Mask?

We like to joke that the masking fetish is really for lazy trannies who don’t want to go through the trouble of putting on make up. It’s fun to say but it may not be…

We like to joke that the masking fetish is really for lazy trannies who don’t want to go through the trouble of putting on make up. It’s fun to say but it may not be true.

Everyone Forever described the desire for masking as “from the wearer’s point of view, the mask provides an opportunity to be completely surrounded by the powerful smells and tactile qualities of latex. They can heighten sensitivity and fear/excitement in the way leather and rubber sensory-deprivation hoods used in BDSM scenarios do. And because many of the maskers combine the mask with tight-fitting corsets and layered clothing, there can also be an element of containment or bondage.”

But why the feminine element? What do you think the real attraction to masking is?

Also, please enjoy the video of Kerry wearing her Joan female mask while sleeping and moving about to the Cardigan’s “Good Morning Joan.”

It’s no secret that Miss Piggy is someone very, very special. But did you know that she once had her own TV special? Now THAT is SPECIAL!

This 1982 special starring the fantastic Miss Piggy, voiced by the amazing Frank Oz, is called “The Fantastic Miss Piggy Show!”

The show had it all: Miss Piggy sings. Miss Piggy dances. Miss Piggy gets lowered in a pink bubble like Glinda the Good Witch in the Wizard of OZ. It’s fabulous. It’s gay. It’s glamorous. It’s hysterical! I suspect that many a budding drag queen saw this and was immediately inspired.

I am posting her opening number, “There’ll Be Some Changes Made Today,” in honor of the new and improved Feast of Fools website!

And the piéce de resistance is Piss Miggy.. er.. Miss Piggy performing Gloria Gaynor’s disco classic “I Will Survive.” Miss Piggy has survived quite well and so has the Feast of Fools. Happy Birthday, Feast of Fools!

Just when you thought La Pequeña was a one trick pony with her Amy Winehouse impersonation, she’s back with a sexy political twist. Here she is portraying Senator Hillary Clinton stating “I forgave my husband” and “America don’t want to go to war!” You tell them La Pequeña.

Could La Pequeña’s video decide the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primaries once and for all?

 Standard Podcast [57:55m]:

Heklina and Ana Matronic at TrannyshackThe move towards the larger society’s embrace of gay culture not always a clear line. The internet has done a great deal to allow GLBT people to carve out a voice for themselves in the world, this year I’ve never seen more YouTube/Internet queer celebrities Perez Hilton, Chris Crocker and to some extent the sexually ambiguous Tay Zonday on network television talk shows than ever before.

We’re up for the top prize of podcasting, the People’s Choice Podcast Award, which by many is seen as the Oscar of Podcasts. And you’re all welcome to join us at the ceremony, Friday September 28 in Los Angeles.

All this is big, because it feels like for the first time ever, you don’t just have ONE person breaking out, but many are people doing it and doing it well. (more…)
