Another opportunity to have  a ruckus good time this weekend is to head to Holocene on Saturday night for Double Down, which will no doubt be the gathering place for everyone who didn’t head out to Seattle or San Francisco! $5, DJ’s and dancing, drinks and […]


Tonight: Gender (Free) For All Benefit @ IOW, Fruitcake!

Fruitcake, or Michael Jackson? Same diff

The times are a little quieter right now, it’s true, what with Seattle pride and San Francisco Pride dueling for our attentions this weekend. QPDX.com will mostly be staying in town, due to overworked livers and overworked bank accounts, but nevertheless there are a few opportunities to party this weekend. We already wrote a little preview for the GFFA benefit happening at […]


Breaking news: Michael Jackson dead

UPDATE: It seems like it really is true. The LA times now reports that Jackson was pronounced dead by doctors. BBC News is also reporting his death, along with MSNBC, and the Associated Press. CNN has so far not confirmed his death.

Previously:

It’s a rough day for 80’sd idols. We’ve just heard that after Farrah Fawcett died of a long standing battle with cancer, Michael Jackson has died of cardiac arrest, says TMZ.com. CNN, however, reports he was taken to the hospital following cardiac arrest but will not confirm his death.

More details to follow in a few  minutes.

We rarely do fluff here at QPDX.com, although I won’t claim that we always do *serious* reporting either. We sometimes post things just for the eye candy factor of them – but oh so rarely for the girlqueers. We know that’s a complex issue – what’s considered “hot” in dyke circles isn’t always what the mainstream intarweb can provide. So enjoy this sizzling list! And the term “butch” is used to encompass a spectrum of masculinities-there are GQ, old-skool butches and Trans identified people there too. Some of my faves are posted underneath the cut…!

Update on the post BlowPony Violence (bloody imagery ahead)

Heather after the attack

Heather after the attack

It’s been pretty quiet around this issue in the last few days until we know what exactly will happen next and who is doing what. As far as I know, some people very involved in the community are considering a town hall style meeting, and BlowPony folks such as Airick, Jose and Heather (who got her nose broken after Blow Po) are going to the Portland Police SMRT (sexual minorities round table) with the police next month. I will most more info on the time, date etc as it becomes available. Audrey, who was the victim of transphobic and sexist harassment and told by the police that she didn’t need to file a report, has successfully filed a report against her attacker and the issue is being dealt with (we hope) by the police/courts/authorities.

Perez Hilton is a famous gay blogger

Perez Hilton is a famous gay blogger

So allegedly, gay celeb blogger/gossip queen Perez Hilton was assaulted by the Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am. Will.I.Am denies any allegations – and so they have taken it to the streets internet to resolve this dispute…and what follows is a messy frolic of tweeting/not tweeting, timing, and the importance of not forgetting the special T word, traffic.
