John Jones IV
Newest work with our dj from SheDickulous Sundays and his own parties at Sugarland, John Jones IV aka J4. He was also the star of a recently banned German Sprite commercial. All the links to the video keep getting shut down, so just google it yourself ;)

Chinaman
Drag King part 2
I decided try out another male character on our bi-monthly at Sugarland. This party was the Geriatric Jamboree. Being Mr. Wei Na Hung (aka Confucion) was actually much more difficult than I anticipated. I mean I had a ton of fun without really having to exert any unnatural effort, but my voice didn't match my character no matter how I played him. Finally, at Old Candi's suggestion, I just went with my southern hick twangy voice. It was very confusing. I had a cane and walked very slowly because I had just turned 200 years old. But I did love feeling up on those old white ladies. They didn't seem to mind at all. I mean, after all, I was 200 years old!

Fast Forward
When I said I was ready to start going forward again, I didn't really mean fast forward. But I got it anyway because you always have to be careful what you ask for. Here's a visual recap of last month..
This kid got shot and killed right down the block from where I live. I mean like 30 feet away from my window. Apparently our street is the boundary between the Puerto Ricans and Blacks. Fierce rivals? This all happened right before the Puerto Rican Parade..
The highlight of my month was pulling two fantastic shows with SHE-DICK for Joan Rivers at the Gramercy Theater.
Brett and I backup danced for Don PV at Santos Party House
SHE-DICK also did some backup singing for Jasper James at the Nokia Theater
So all in all, it was a very productive month. All three of us were feeling so worn out. We need a spa retreat!
We've also started planning our reality show/tour/concept for BETTER THAN GAY, which is just a collective of artists and performers who are all encompassing when it comes to the queer culture.
Recently, stumbled across a treasure chest of a thrift store called Dominick's. It has since moved into a much nicer space down the street, and with it, a crew of old-school New Yorkers who have been making things happen for a long time. Leslie is one of such fine humans, and his partners Andy and Charlie. Such characters. There is talk of a SuperConscious coffee shop and a production crew for a SuperConscious movement soon.

Nerd out
Last Sunday was another installment of SheDickulous Sundays at Sugarland. We had the Nerd Science Fair and Candi's presentation won the blue ribbon. Her project cleverly illustrated where babies come from..
Carrie was a spastic retainer-wearing horse lover. She wore those fake chaps with fringe that come with high-waisted jeans. I wanted those so bad when I was in 6th grade. Her hair did several 360s throughout the night. I love her!
Finally, I decided to adopt an entirely new character. I'd never dressed as a male before, and I would have to say it was so much easier than being female. I have many relatives whom I based my Wayne Chung character off of, and it was so effortless that I'd really like to develop him a little more.
