Lady Gaga Concert: A supernova of faggitude

Lady Gaga Concert: A supernova of faggitude

To say Lady Gaga rocked Portland is an understatement.

She exploded into a supernova of faggitude. Her pro-gay, pro-freak, pro-throw-your-tampon-at-high-school-bullies shook the very foundations that upholds Portland as the “keep-it-weird” center of the world.

Playing to over 20,000 adoring fans at the Rose Garden, Lady Gaga shot her Monster Ball tour like hot liquid into the laps of all the weirdoes and lovers last night. Her high-octane, multi-media, electronic heavy performance charmed the audience at every set movement and dance move. Averaging a costume-change about every three songs, there was an endless supply of spectacle and wonderment. To see photos of last night’s concert, look here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/38163303@N04/sets/72157624768788628/

Gay Garage Sale graces Vendetta (PHOTOS)

One person’s trash is another person’s outfit.

Hipsters, dragsters, gays and queers flocked to Vendetta on Sunday to peruse through people’s goods and trash for the 2nd Gay Garage Sale. Blessed with non-raining weather, the surroundings of the Northeast bar Vendetta saw hordes of gays and those who flock to gays. DJ Lunchlady rocked jams in the front room while Dirty D hosted the patio through numerous illicit offers and costume changes.

I walked away with two old school lights that look like something out of a Skate World estate sale.

Check out all the pics on the photo page.
