 'Sissyboy Washes Up' Photo by Marty Davis / Just Out This weekend was pretty epic. Indeed the fact/excuse that this review is a day or two late is testament to just how big a queer party weekend it was.

 The Sissyboy troupe After an epic final show in October 2007, the unabashedly naughty Sissyboy shock drag troupe called it quits, and the gentlemen all, literally, went their own ways. But the dream never died. Various related performance groups arose and the Sissyboys released an underground documentary film.
Key member, Splendora (aka Lee Kyle), continued to perform around Portland before moving to New York City. Amazed at the Big Apple’s timidity, Kyle was determined to reunite the boys for a truly envelope-pushing east coast performance. Luckily, we get to see it first.

Homo's Got Talent winner achieved the spot with sweet snacks to the tune of "Do I Look Like a Slut?"
I’m still digesting the full brunt of last night’s amazing Homo’s Got Talent dance-off competition so a review is forthcoming.
However, I can tease all of you who weren’t there and provide happy memories to those of you who were with a plethora of titillating talented homo […]
 Portland’s dance, drag and other queer performances are most certainly building back up after a short lull, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for more. Are you a diamond in the rough? We want to know. That’s why Pants Off Productions is putting on an American Idol style Homo’s got Talent!

 Sam Adams' bike contingent at Pride 2009 Now that we are all finally recovered from our hangovers it’s time to reflect on the weekend. It was a wild success that saw the gorgeous Miss Sabel Scities win Portland’s Drag Race, 115 floats, thousands of attendees, very few protesters and about a million parties.
Below are my weekend highlights but we really want to hear yours, so comment below!

 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!

 Dolly still looks fabu in her 60s... Originally printed in Just Out:
Dolly Parton may not be an out queer herself (though, believe me, the rumors swirl like an overactive hot tub about Parton and longtime pal Judy Ogle), but she’s always been a champion of gay, lesbian, bi and trans causes.In a musical genre so often dominated by gun-toting good ole boys, the buxom beauty is fearless; she’s even received hate mail and threats for her status as a gay icon. What better way to honor her than to recruit some of Portland’s finest musicians while raising money for a diverse celebration of women in music, Siren Nation. The Dolly Parton Hoot Night cover extravaganza takes place at the Mission Theater (1624 NW Glisan) Saturday, June 6.
