[flickr album=72157619567359209 num=5 size=Thumbnail]  Portland is Burning for BOYJOY at the Someday Lounge Thank gawd it’s Friday! Day 2 of Pride weekend. Are you ready? Because, girl, you’ve got a long way to go… Pride edition of this naughty poetry reading at In Other Words bookstore should be extra spicy. Trans Family Picnic Continue reading »  Check out the amazing stack of queer performers lined up for Gender Bender @ The E-Room! This Thursday the yearly spectacle of the Gender Bender Variety Show will be coming to the E-Room! It looks like a spectacle not to be missed. The E Room is usually pretty insular, by this time they have cast a wide net to get some of the best most innovative queer performers that run the gamut from traditional drag to post-queer performance art to the E Room! It’s going to be hot, queer, and amazing, and for a good cause! Continue reading » Queer Portland Pride kicks it off @ Rotture TONIGHT Just a quick note: There will be a Pride “Jump-off” party tonight a@ Rotture.

The DJ lineup is awesome, they have Go Gos, and also prizes. Continue reading » Kick, Ball, Change. A PDX dance showcase. I had no idea what to expect (except dancing) but this being a PantsOff production, I knew it had to be good.  Untrained, I Dance Company And I was not disappointed. Kick / Ball / Change is not a queer event per se, but it’s anti-authoritarian, DIY, gender-blurring, pop culture-referring, ruckus attitude has all the appeal of Portland’s best queer events – it’s clear that organizers Jodi Bon Jodi and Max Voltage’s many years of organizing and performing queer events are indelible from both their passion and their art. Continue reading » While we’re all still to overwhelmed (in a fantastic, magical,”let’s put on your red shoes and dance the blues” kinda way by the event that was Kick/Ball/Change, I neverless found a few spare hours to upload the photos we took. We have the world’s shittiest camera because we’re so fly-by-night (have one you wanna donate?) so I apologize for some quality issues. Also, we had trbl getting good shots […] And it’s time for a little half time recap. (well, technically a 2/3rds time recap, but who cares, right?) It’s been a busy few days indeed!  Kick / Ball / Change @ The Someday Lounge Thursday saw me hit RedCap for a little update on RuPaul’s drag race, which I have been checking in with since my first review, which you can find here. The Portland edition doesn’t have eliminations, so all the girls were still in the race-and had the task of choreographing a dance number to RuPaul’s own “Supermodel” (yes that super gay dance number from the early 90’s). Overall, both teams did well, but Team Alexis sadly took a wrong turn on the costume front, picking lavender onesies that were not flattering at all. Also, their choreo was messy. I had expected more from Alexis. Team Kelly stole the Lipsynch For Your Life trophy with excellent dresses, makeup, and teamwork. Their choreo was sometimes a little flat, but overall well done. Sable Scities is most definitely the strongest dancer in the group, and stands a strong chance of walking away with the prize of being the Northwest’ Fiercest Drag Queen if she can keep up the pace. A great show, with the usual witty banter between Poison Waters and Byron Beck. Sadly, Isiah from Burlesquire should stick to what he does best (and he really does do it very well) – Dancing. Being a commentator or a judge is not your strong point, Isiah. Continue reading » oh my fellow queers, i hope you’ve been saving your spare change and some brain cells for this bashtastic weekend, not to mention dusting off your dancin’ shoes.  KBC Curtain Call. Photo Courtesy of Lee Kyle The amazing Kick/Ball/Change will be happening this Sunday, but before then, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to get up and get down. Continue reading »  Photo by Tyler Spencer of Coffee For Drew Photography This Saturday’s Burlesquire extravaganza still has me reeling on several levels so a cohesive review is still in the works. But what these interwebs are good for is transparency of process so, while I gather my thoughts I am happy to share with you yet another Winks and Hunks poor audio quality podcast.
