Re: Blacklips
Well, Nancy, as I'm sure youare aware, I was in my teen whilst I was a member of said cult. Those were the salad days.....All I ever could aford to eat was, salad. I learned quite a lot from some of my favorite performers. It was quite a magical time, although I believe a bit of an unstable time. I suppose magic and instability go hand in hand. I remember feeeling at different times central to the groups process and at others very peripheral. I suppose thats how things thrived. We all just...

Re: Can We Build a Less Prejudiced TG Sense of Community?
Great post Ms Royale!!! So many great points so well tended to. I really must say however...... I really do not see myself as a "Leader". I am a damn good entertainer, a big mouth, a passionate soul, a lot of things, but I do not pretend to be a leader, I am simply finding my way with the rest of the flock. Mine and Glorya's bad blood stems back as far as I can recall to stupidly enough a club pass promoting QUEEN BEE. It then involved me supposedly trying to lure a dj of hers away (a friend...

Re: Miss Understood's Thailand 2003!
I had a real health nut spa breakfast: fresh pappaya with goat yogurt topped with bee pollen. We're supposed to stick to raw fruits and veggies for a few days before eating rice, bread, eggs, meat, etc. I cheated. I biked to another beach, smelled that thai cooking, and had some chicken curry with rice. I'll do salad for dinner though. I do feel really good and clean. I'll post a photo of my sparkling colon! I visited Anna's friend Alex today. His little hut is so cute. It is literally steps...

Re: Miss Understood's Thailand 2003!
I have had outfits made by actual professional Asian tailors IN Asia. There is such a job over there (as in other countries) designated "tailor". That little nugget of knowledge out of the way, how many sweatshop workers do you figure go into making a one-of-a-kind little do? We save the sweatshop numbers for midwest Wal-Mart specials. So, don't jump on the little Asian tailors and the people who need them until you've visited one of our BEE-U-TEE-FUL countries and yelled at all the tourists...

Re: Sally's Hideaway
Sally's in the mid 90s was always a bit edgy for me, the white girl in the sweater set and miniskirt, but that is what I loved about it. I went there more as an alternative to Edelweiss, or when Edelweiss was enduring many of it's intermittent closings by the Guiliani squads, but I loved that it existed along with all the other Times Square spots like Edelweiss & Cats. Sweetie always wanted Queen Bee to be a mix of the uptown and downtown drag/tranny worlds (a mix of BoyBar girls,...

Re: DV by Diana Vreeland
THANKS, BEE-YOTCH! After reading this forum I ordered "DV" from Amazon.com late yesterday afternoon (normal delivery, typically 3-5 business days). I even mentioned it to Daddy last night that I'd ordered it. To my shock the book arrived first thing this morning. I've never gotten anything that fast from Amazon before. Guess that means I was meant to have it.

Re: Farewell Charming Old New York
Though I liked a lot of the art at the New Museum show it was not actually about the art. As much as I liked the kooky dancing bee video for its low-budget, tres gay, faux MTV production value, Klaus Noami's video (with sound so lamentably under-amped), the Jack Smith AMAZING 1962 film -the show is about the scene and the people and not really about the art at all! Not too subtle about that either, since the whole upstairs gallery is devoted to 'class' pictures and headshots of the...

Re: Kenneth Anger
Amber- I had a similar, though not physically violent experience with him 25 years ago when I produced the "Hollywood Babylon" party (my first) and insisted that he be included, and paid. So, its just a coming of age experience for young divae in training, methinks. BTW anyone ever heard the story of he and Maya Deren levitating refrigerators at each other? Wish I could remember the details.. Regardless, I still think "L'eau de Artifice" is the most brilliant short film ever made. And I too...

Re: Kenneth Anger
This is the Maya Deren story as much and as far I remember it... It was around the time that Deren was inundating herself in Voudoun culture and ritual-- she recorded two albums of ritual music, wrote a book on the subject and was shooting footage that would later be assembled into the film The Divine Horsemen . She was also supposedly inducted as a Voudoun priestess. She met Anger at a party and for whatever reason began to have a psychic battle of wills while standing in the kitchen, which...

Re: Nina Simone
My two faves are her 11 Minute version of Isn't It A Pity on the Emergency Ward LP and the live version of Westwind on the Black Gold LP. The early 70's RCA stuff is excellent! Seeing Kabuki Starshine perform Isn't It A Pity at PS122 for (I think) the Marsha P Johnson Story blew my mind. And then there's her Bee Gees covers - don't get me started! I was lucky enough to see her last performance in NYC at Carnegie Hall - she was frail and while the house was hooting and stomping for an encore,...
