| Permalink pedal medal i've been tooling around Hollywood on my bike for the past 3 days, which means my car has just been sitting in the garage all this time. i can hear all you gas guzzlers out there saying "so what, ru. you want a friggin' medal?". well, my answer to that is "yes, that's exactly what i want... a medal that says i am so much smarter and prettier than everybody else". | Permalink Saturday, May 17, 2008 'tis the seasonexcerpt from Stonewall Riots, Drag Queens, and Judy Garland"Friday, June 27th, 1969, a great many men from the Village flocked to Judy Garland's funeral at a upper Eastside funeral parlor at Madison Ave and 81st. What impressed them -- and in the early hours of the next day, mobilized them to resist the police raid on the Stonewall Inn -- wasn't Garland's divahood (after all, it had been her downfall), but rather the number of other gay men they saw at the event. These were Garland's fans. There were crowds of homosexuals recognizing each other on the street in front of the funeral parlor. Garland's funeral turned out to be a sort of proto-gay pride event. And it demonstrated there was power in numbers -- that was something "in the air" in those days as one anti-war mobilization after another demonstrated how many people were "anti-establishment." | Permalink Friday, May 16, 2008 tranny is the new blackHillary, Obama, Cali marriage ban lifted & Drags back on TV. methinks the pendulum is finally swinging back.| Permalink Thursday, May 15, 2008 move that bus!| PermalinkTuesday, May 13, 2008 the jean genieCalvin Klein lives at the end of the block on my street in NYC. when i'm in town, i see him early in the morning when i go out for coffee. | Permalink Monday, May 12, 2008 Kass partyCarmen Kass is the only real supermodel working today. she's versatile, smart and the best catwalker in the business. she's been my personal favorite for 7 years now... very reminiscent of a young Margot Kidder. watch her here and you'll understand why.| Permalink Sunday, May 11, 2008 "i wish i was a camera"i got up into drags friday evening to shoot some viral video for LOGO's website. Randy, Chris & Tom from WOW came over to my place to film and we had a grand ol' time. for inspiration, we ended up watching a Diana Ross compilation DVD i just happened to have on hand.| Permalink defining mood of a particular period of history first Tom, and then Tiko urged me to go online and see the movie "Zeitgeist". well, i just watched it and i am speechless. do yourself a big favor and see it.

| Permalink ruplica this picture of Tiffany's girls was taken on Buck's iphone a couple of weeks ago at Madame Tussauds in Times Square. i've only seen my wax replica once, and that was at the museum's grand opening in 2000. i haven't been back because it weirded me out having people watch me as i watched myself. plus, i try to avoid situations where i can hear people talking about me when they don't realize i'm standing right next to them. i can't tell you how many times in my career that has happened. this whole story line begs the question - well, who am i? the image in photos? the man in the mirror? the voice in me head? maybe none of the above. sorry, there i go again. still, i feel it's a great honor to have been replicated like this. | Permalink Thursday, May 08, 2008 stone gas, honey!i watched "Soul Train" religiously when i was a kid. my favorite dancers on the show were Damita Jo Freeman, Sharon Hill, Jeffrey Daniel, Tyrone Procter & Jody Watley. here are Tyrone and Jody reunited in her video for "Still A Thrill".| Permalink oozemore passionate than Luke & Laura, Blake & Krystal and Itchy & Scratchy combined, the love affair between Beecher & Keller on Oz stood far and above any other TV romance in history. watch the clip and follow the links to re-live the steamiest couple the boob tube has ever produced.bonus: the sexiest man on TV | Permalink Wednesday, May 07, 2008 L.A. Woman because of all the traveling, my body clock has me going to bed at 8pm and waking up at 2am. by 10am, when i reported to my new work space at World Of Wonder, i'd already had a full day.  we're in pre-production for a new TV show (stay tuned for more details), so my day there started with a brainstorming meeting, in which Pamela Anderson popped in to say "hi". she is completely gorgeous and charming, even without a stitch of make-up. she's also doing a show at WOW.  then, i made myself comfortable with the assigned work space and company computer. it's very exciting because i've had no experience working in an office with a zillion employees. i had to ask everybody where, what and how, and they were all very kind and accommodating. i felt like the new kid at school. i wore Prada.  Tom Trujillo picked me up and took me to lunch at King's Road Cafe. we listened to Riskay's song "Smell Yo Dick" over and over.  at 4pm i had a voiceover session in Studio City for the animated series "Rick & Steve". Wilson Cruz was just finishing up when i got there. my scene was with that beautiful kid from "Noah's Arc" Darryl Stephens.  i would love to have gone country line dancing, but i was way too sleepy. | Permalink he can't love youthe Eckhart Tollé books uncover the truth behind falling in love with the one who can't possibly love you back, and it's also the subject of Jonny McGovern's new, twisted music video. look for the cameo by hot ginge, porn star Blu Kennedy.| Permalink Tuesday, May 06, 2008 georgie girl. | Permalink i love El Layi'm so happy to be back. i've compiled an ipod playlist of songs about Los Angeles and Taylor Dayne's version of this one is my absolute favorite. she sings "thee shit" out of it on her stellar new album "Satisfied".| Permalink Monday, May 05, 2008 French & Saunders| Permalink Sunday, May 04, 2008 wall to wallvisiting Walmart is like conducting a sociological study. it's absolutely fascinating to discover what's on the shelves, given the political and economical criteria the corporation requires from vendors. the bigger story is who's not on the shelves at Walmart. we were at the one in York, Pa. at 2:AM on friday morning, so we got to explore the store with virtually no other customers around.this is what i bought: salt-n-pepa - greatest hits $9.96 bob seger - greatest hits $8.82 carrie underwood - some hearts $8.82 robocop - dvd $9.44 5 "a new earth" by eckhart tolle @ $9.64 each kashi "cinnamon crunch something" cereal - $2.00 4 rice dream/rice milk @ $1.76 each 4 vanilla yogurts @ $0.44 each bolthouse mocha protein drink - $3.58 duracell triple A batteries/10 pack - $6.97 duracell A double a batteries/10 pack - $6.97 hannah montana tee shirt - $5.00 half liter bottled water/20 pack - $3.88 tax - $5.96 total - $128.40 | Permalink most played song in my ipod| PermalinkSaturday, May 03, 2008 retouched by an angel| PermalinkFriday, May 02, 2008 it's Summertime| Permalinkjeffrey Jeff Key was in town this week and we went to see the new Paul Rudnick play "the new century" at Lincoln Center. the play is fantastic. i've always been a big fan of Rudnick's work (In & Out, Jeffrey, The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told). this show has a very poignant character called "Mr. Charles" that spoke especially to me, and based on the faces of the gentleman sitting in the audience stage left, the character spoke to them too. clever, funny, witty and Linda Lavin ta-boot! The New Century Official Online Box Office Tickets - NYC-Off Broadway . | Permalink Martha Wash slept here saturday night was only the second time Martha Wash and i performed our version of "it's raining men", which went top ten in England. the other time was a couple of years ago in Pensacola, Florida. when performing next to Martha, it's very difficult to not get completely intimidated by her omnificent voice. on stage, i found myself becoming so transfixed by her magic that i had to remind myself i was performing too. she is absolutely one of the greatest singers to ever stand in front of a microphone and open her mouth. our hotel rooms were next door to one another, and although we never acknowledged it, i knew she was there because i heard hardcore black gospel coming through the walls at 2 o'clock in the morning. i mean, who else in Paris would be playing Shirley Caesar at that hour? | Permalink Thursday, May 01, 2008 from Paris to York, Pa. last saturday, we bought an all day pass which allowed us to hop on any of the double decker tourist buses that cruise Paris. it was great because what little geographical knowledge i had of the city was pieced together by the bus tour. Paris demystified. the only drawback was the taped audio portion of the tour was strewn with advertisements for everything from the onboard Coke machine to Versailles day trips. ultimately, i just head-phoned my Grace Jones playlist and did without the aural guide. Grace is a much better guide to Paris anyway. here in New York, we have taxi cabs equipped with TV's that show non-stop advertisements. the TV's cannot be turned off because there is no Off button. it'd be tolerable if the commercials were any Goode... as in Jean-Paul Goode. on sunday, before our car to Orly airport arrived, we had a couple of hours to kill. so we rented bikes and rode up the canals. so much fun. wish we had more time. well, C'est La Vie.  tomorrow morning, we're renting a car and driving to York, Pa. for my show there on friday night. of course, we're gonna stop at the Gucci outlet in Secaucus, New Jersey on the way.
