Halloween, Speakeasy, Drag Queens & More!

So many fun events, so little time. So let’s get started with a bit of an update, my dear, wonderful, fabulous readers. First off, I think I missed posting my column from last week, about my agonizing over what to wear for Halloween. I called it HALLOWEENIE, because of my inclination to weenie out of having to wear a costume at all. David uploaded our costumes from last year onto Huffington Post, where you can rate our cleverness (or lack thereof), link to that pic RIGHT HERE. My column this week is about a speakeasy I recently attended. It’s called BEE’S KNEES in the BARRIO, and for this I made a video so you could feel like you were right there with me:

This past weekend was plenty busy, from Josue’s exhibition at CECUT in Tijuana (photos can be seen HERE), to Tantrums & Tiaras, an awesome drag queen competition for which I was one of the judges. I only got a handful of pics from that event, they’re right HERE. It was a fantastic show, one of the contestants, Aneeda Greencard, rode onto stage on a REAL LIVE DONKEY! Highlight of my evening, seriously. The event raised over $40,000 for Mama’s Kitchen, and this was just its first year! After the show, I hopped in a party limo with a handful of drag queens and bar hopped. My only complaint was that I didn’t end up with glitter on me by the time I stumbled into my condo.

I’ve been spending a lot of time helping out with Orchids & Onions, and the date of the big awards show is fast approaching! It’s gonna be rad. If you don’t have your tickets yet, get them, because we’re putting on a helluva show. Nothing like live donkeys on stage or anything, but if you’re into design and architecture, and don’t mind a bawdy emcee like myself mocking the industry, then this is the event for you. ;) Okay, on to other things for a bit here. Promise to get back at you soon with more fun goings-on!
