MY GOOD JUDY: Arkansas angel to lip sync assassin
Category is: High School History Day, Individual Performance. Appearing in the illusion of British Abolitionist William Wilberforce, she takes the stage (I like to imagine) in a sculpted honey-blonde bob. Her first time performing, 15 years old, she chews every word and spits out the competition. Thrilling. Not the last time she would do so. She’s come a long way since History Day. That’s our friend, Judy…
LIKE SoooCAL: Celebrating the best in SoCal nightlife
What defines SoCal queer nightlife? Beyond our vocal fry and general disinterest, what makes this scene uniquely ours. Who is, like, sooo Cal!? Through my reporting on queer nightlife, I have noticed a general lack of coverage of local drag scenes and their defining artists. “Like, Sooo Cal?” is a space for local performers and community members to explore regional talent and culture.
QUEEN OUT (VERB): Annie and Lorelei take Fringe Fest
When historic LA drag bar Redline suddenly announced it would be closing its doors after nine years in operation, socialites Annie Biotixx and Lorelei knew they had to find a never-before-seen way to showcase their love of drag, deep theater education, and dynamic duet. Inspired by real-life events , the two wrote a variety show intended to be a farewell to their home bar.
A NEW SOFTCORE: Viveiros’ “Möther’s Creme Diaries”
Halloween night. Downtown Los Angeles. A scary, sexy chill fills the air. We see Monica– your not-so-average, ditzy ex-housewife, desperate to sell her haunted estate. But, alas, nothing (and no one) comes so easily in the Diaries. Suddenly, our Monica is being filmed. And as the camcorder pans to our leading lady, she’s getting the LA handshake– a fist right up her ass…
MISS SUGARTANK: Avalon, through the mist
One night a month, drag’s fiercest and most fashionable walk among mortals, inviting fans, friends to step through the mist of Avalon and play in their world. For those caged by their cubicles, Sugartank is a return to the frivolous. Unabashed creativity and childlike wonder. It’s a taste of something sweet, once again. But just a taste, you don’t want to get a sugar rush.
I WANT HAUS (OF YUQ) — Young Underpaid Queers
I had only taken a few steps into Precinct — “Excuse me! Can I have a House of Love cocktail, straight up,” when spotted someone strange from across the bar. Squinting through her blinding light, I stood dazzled. Yes, by her beauty, but mostly by the indescribable nerve it took LA drag artist Bohenne Arreaux to bring a ginormous flashbulb to the drag show. Nothing YUQ about good lighting…
WEEKNIGHT OUT: “Cabaret” and “Born This Day”
Considering Wednesday nights are perfect for sitting alone in my room, last week was a rarity for me. But with two new shows to cover in one night, I was excited to put down my knitting, my book, and my broom for a drag double feature of mother-monster proportions…
