Spoiler alert: If you didn’t watch it last night, the winner is revealed in this clip.

I haven’t blogged about it because it’s so NSFW, but there’s huge fad sweeping Japan in which videos featuring gay porn star Billy Herrington are mashed-up over racing techno beats, with little baby heads popping up over the actors’ naughty bits. Japan is weird, y’all. (Check out my pal Brian O’Brian’s way NSFW post on this phenomenon over at Fleshbot.) …

Yesterday an old friend reminded me about 1989’s Pickle Surprise, which is Wigstock:The Movie director Tom Rubnitz’ strange bit of absurdity starring Lady Bunny and RuPaul. I remember Rubnitz’ equally strange Strawberry Shortcut being a favorite at Fort Lauderdale’s Cathode Ray video bar. Rubnitz died of AIDS in the early 90’s. NOTE: For those that don’t know, here’s how Urban …

I didn’t do a recap of RuPaul’s Drag Race last week after Ongina’s very untimely departure. And while last night’s hour-long Absolut infomercial was certainly tedious in portions, there were a few highlights – most notably Charo’s terrible “Spooning leads to forking” joke. No spoilers in this clip. Y’all know who went home.

The NYT City Room blog reports that RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant Ongina has hand-delivered a $25,000 donation from the MAC Cosmetics AIDS Fund to NYC’s Hetrick-Martin High school, which serves LGBT students who’ve had difficulty in regular public schools. The school is noted for being a space where students do not have to conform, where girls can declare their orientation …

Judging by buzz around the blogosphere, LOGO seems to have its first bona fide hit in RuPaul’s Drag Race. This clip, which is also an elimination spoiler, shows Ongina’s tearful revelation of her two years living with HIV, something her family did not previously know about.

Virginia’s George Mason University had a real queen for Homecoming this year. Ryan Allen, a popular host of the George Mason University’s yearly drag show, was elected its homecoming queen over the weekend in an emotional crowning ceremony at halftime of the sold-out GMU vs. Northeastern basketball game at the Patriot Center. He beat out two female finalists after a …

Since I got yelled at for doing so last week, I won’t give away who got booted on last night’s RuPaul’s Drag Race, but let’s just say it was the one I most wanted to go. Last night’s challenge was for the contestants to “channel their inner Oprah” and play talk show hostess, but what it mostly seemed to reveal …

On the second episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race last night, retro queen Tammie Brown committed dragicide rather than lipsync to celebrity judge Michelle William’s latest hit. Which is sad, because I thought Tammie was the most interesting contestant. And if the producers are editing the show to make everybody hate Akashia, it’s working. Above is the first segment, watch the …

Via SFist: National treasure Fauxnique and Silencefiction (the swellest chap you’ll ever run into at a club) collaborated on this smashing project. “Lipstique,” which boasts former Miss Trannyshack Fauxnique listing her favorite lipstick colors backed by an addictive disco beat. But it’s so much more than that. Silencefiction’s “Lipstique” (Looq Records) is meshed with cameos by Fauxnique, Peaches Christ, Kiddie, …

Drag queen Candy Samples gives us a preview of the Republican convention.

A Dallas gay strip joint has caused a ruckus by banning drag queens and transgendered women from its busy Tuesday nights. Fueled by cheap drink prices and nearly naked, toned men dancing for tips, Tuesday night bar-hopping on Fitzhugh Avenue is becoming a staple in the Dallas LGBT community. So much so that locals have even given the event a …

Gentle readers, I’m rerunning my annual Pride rant for the fourth year. I wrote this post in 2005 a couple of days after attending Pride here in NYC. In the following years I’ve reposted it in advance of the day in the hope of encouraging you to attend. My apologies to those that have read it before. Have a wonderful …

Poor Christine McVie, she only gets a Night Of A Dozen. Meanwhile the Night Of A Thousand Stevies rolls on for years.

Friday night, Aaron and I visited Chris Noth’s Cutting Room for the opening night of Provincetown legend Dina Martina’s new show. If you’ve never experienced Dina, expect a bewildering cavalcade of songs, props and malaprops, spoonerisms and Norm Crosbyisms. The Dina Martina Show runs at the Cutting Room through March 9th. Highly recommended. Get tickets here.
