 Katastrophe performs tonight at PSU as part of TDOR Today is the 11th Annual Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day to mourn and memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice.
he event is held in November to honor Rita Hester, whose murder on November 28th, 1998 kicked off the “Remembering Our Dead” web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in 1999. Rita Hester’s murder — like most anti-transgender murder cases — has yet to be solved.
Although not every person represented during the Day of Remembrance self-identified as transgender — that is, as a transsexual, crossdresser, or otherwise gender-variant — each was a victim of violence based on bias against transgender people.
Portland events will take place tonight at 6pm at Portland State University in the MultiCultural Center – SMSU 228.

 Delilah Sinn teases with her rubber ducky routine Saturday’s second installment of Homomentum: Timewarp Talent Show hit the E Room like a ton of bricks and we have the snapshots to prove it.

 Homomentum's Timewarp Talent show this Saturday Last month’s inaugural Homomentum installment was a freaky success and this sophomore expedition into our past this Saturday should be just as enjoyable. I can’t wait to see some mall hair, and stiff high bangs when the folks from Pants Off Productions bring on the Timewarp Talent Show.
This month’s performance pleasures include burlesque from Jodi Bon Jodi and Venus Envy, hip hop dance from Under the Radar, and the dragtastic spectacle that is Feyonce.

A sad message from DJ Nolita:
Dearest dancing queers and allies,
I lament to inform you that Rumpspankers has gotten their liquor license revoked by the OLCC as of today and therefore Fruitcake will be postponed until further notice. We love and honor your support! Needless to say, we’ll be back soon!
Stay tuned, Fruitcake Xxo
I’m obsessed with Lady Gaga, and how can you not be? Her new video for Bad Romance is set in a blindingly white bathhouse. Who knew so weird could be so hot.
 Get into some tight spaces at SPelUNK Friday the 13th As usual there is no lack of queer parties for the weekend and this Friday the 13th, so soon after Halloween, should certainly be auspicious. My recommendations are SPelUNK at Red Cap (1035 SW Stark) and Fruitcake at Rumpspankers (700 NE Dekum).
In honor of being scared of (and excited by) the dark, Red Cap intends to plunge its patrons into total, cave-like darkness with only your instincts and some LED lights to guide you.

Just a little prurient and totally unnecessary voyeuristic video clip from Gossip Girl wherein Hilary Duff guest stars and takes part in a threesome. It’s blonde on brunette lady make out action for your Tuesday commute home.
 Newest queer night on the scene, Confession, at Jinx (232 NW 12th Ave) will gather the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence tomorrow and every Wednesday to listen to all your sins. Billing itself as the hippest new joint, which seems appropriate for its Pearl location, 10% of all proceeds go back to the Sisters.

 One of the 3 cover designs for Ellen Degeneres' appearance on Oprah magazine, and the silliest Today Ellen Degeneres appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show with new wife Portia De Rossi for their first televised interview as a married couple. Largely a fun and promotional show celebrating Ellen’s appearance alongside the daytime star on the cover of O: The Oprah Magazine, the duo were a pleasure to watch, and a happy foray into gay comedic mainstream.
