I have no voice. Literally. This doesn't help the fact that I am still recovering from last night's legendary Trannyshack show at the EchoPlex. But despite having the inability to talk, I am still in high spirits. The show was phenomenal.
My homeGHOULs really turned it out. Raya Light, Alaska Thunderfuck, Fade-Dra, Squeaky Blonde... all out-shined with their illustrious performances. And I had the opportunity to support two of them - almost three, but the schematics didn't work.
I wish I had video of Raya's number, but the battery died right before. Drats! Hopefully some tranny chaser/videographer was filming the number and will post it on youtube within a matter of days. I'll cross my fingers!
I'm happy I didn't get drunk this time around. All that Tecate from the last Trannyshack plus having boxed wine at Fade-Dra's afterhours gathering was just plain not cute! I can proudly say that I am hangover free today. Yippee.
Heads up for next Trannyshack - stay away from Veronica and Alice during their "moments". What happens when you mix pills and alcohol: broken hand sinks. Totally unladylike!

Charisma Uniqueness Nerve Talent
Oh RuPaul's Drag Race, how I love to watch a tran-wreck. Let me just say that some of these "girls" this season are, well, lackluster. Some mind you, some. And overly bitchy. Lord, I'll be the first to admit I love a bitchy drag queen, but shit, these hoes are literally bitchy - complaining about every goddamn thing. Ah, the joys of reality television. Catty comments + editing = boob tube gold.
One of my favorite leisure activities is rummaging for comments on blogs & episode recap listings. Here is one that just grab my attention...
"I have to agree with a lot of the other posters on this season’s crop. Too many of them are your run of the mill, neighborhood bar performers. I think that’s why I detest Raven- she doesn’t realize what a garden-variety queen she is. " - crimsondeity via popwatch.ew.com Sun 02/14/10 2:50 PM
Good heavens, everyone is a critic. And I love that everyone is, because I have to agree with that comment. Here's some advice for anyone in a chicken costume: don't take yourself so goddamn serious. You would think for someone who says that "sense of humour" is what you are best known for (according to the RDR promo), I'm perplexed on how you weren't in on that joke. It's a fucking chicken costume.
Oh well, I'm sure whoever wins this season will be a "safe" representation of the drag community. And you can see how it played out last season as Nina Flowers was too obscure, Ongina was too androgynous, and Tammie Brown was too kooky. And this year is no different - the queen who wins will not doubt be gorgeous, but one dimensional. Shit, you know what I'm ready for? A Trannyshack Drag Race! Now that would be something.

Homophobiabowl!
Yup, it's that time of the year. Strap on your douchebag wear, grab a Bud Light, a handful of Walmart brand chips, and jump in front of your buddy's big screen television to watch the frenzy unfold.
I will be at home, watching the Super Bowl in increments. I'm not a huge fan of American football, but I do enjoy watching the SB. I will admit, it's exciting, and I love how America gets all worked up over this. It's basically middle America's orgasm. The over-hyped commercials are just the lube working the shaft.
I can say that the Super Bowl to me is equivalent to my days in high school where I would only go to the football games for: (a) social interaction; (b) when we played our school rival Pueblo *hack*; (c) homecoming. Ah, the memories.
And speaking of all this SB hysteria, that rejected commercial for ManCrunch.com was already done a few years ago, and way better I must say, by the geniuses at MadTV:
Ok, it's almost time for kick-off. I must begin the consumption of Dr. Pepper, chicken wings, and salad. Yes, I said salad. A girl has to watch her figure!

Straight Acting
I'm all about diversity. And I'm all about the gay agenda sinking it's vampire-like teeth into middle America. But if we, the gays, are going to do it, then let's do it with an ad that doesn't look like it was filmed in my living room over the course of 12 minutes.
What is with this commercial? Ok, I know homophobic CBS rejected it, but as numerous late night talk shows have joked... was all the money pumped into the purchase of air time? The look of the set is very "bad porn". And not the good "bad porn", but the bad "bad porn". You know what I'm talking about. One word for this: sad.
