Jane Says
And the award goes to...
By Jane Lane
This past Sunday was the 2009 Glammy Award show at Splash. Miss Cherry Jubilee, the queen behind the event, had every single nightclub personality, DJ, performer, promoter, freak, transsexual and television whore known to man in one place. Notable no-shows included winners Michael Formika Jones (Best Party Promoter), Ladyfag (Best Host), and Matthew Camp (Best Go-Go Boy) who were all out doing what they do best: working the scene.
Winners included: Adam Joseph, Acid Betty, Peppermint, Michael Musto, Sweetie, Lady Bunny, Celso, Erika Toure Aviance, Bianca Del Rio, The Kiki Twins, Cazwell, Johnny Dynell and the Dr!p pool party at the Grace Hotel.
It was interesting to see so many people come together for nightlife, but as you know, put one too many queens in a room and something wild is bound to happen. And you know it did.
What happened to Ginger Snapt? Ginger, after losing Breakthrough Artist to Celso, announced the final award for Entertainer of the Year. Though I was about to head out with Epiphany and Acid Betty, I did hear a very angry, possibly belligerent Ginger screaming into the microphone about a few undeserving queens, reading each person that she did not “appreciate.”
Acid Betty, in all her glory, was a class act and dedicated the award to her long time friend Anarexia Hurls, who is responsible for the extravagant, glamourous creations that Betty wears each night. But this beauty did have to stay in the same hot room as everyone else, and that meant a drink was in order. This however did not sit well with a Splash bartender, who refused to comp Betty a drink. “That bartender right there just told me that my drink was comped. If you don’t want to comp me, that’s fine, but I’ll get mine from him,” Betty said. The agitated bartender asked Betty to pay for her drink, but as a glamour queen would, she simply walked to the other bartender, who in fact comped her drink.
We heard lots of chatter on Facebook about the Glammys. Dina Marie: “The Glammys are bullshit.” Jordan Fox: “The only way you’ll catch me at the Glammys is the year I’m nominated for best dressed and win.” Michael Formika Jones: “Is honored to have won best promoter at The Glammys. Thanks NYC and Cherry Jubilee for the love and support.” Ladyfag: “I won a Glammy for Best Hostess! Sincerest thanks NYC for voting for me, I love what I do and I love NYC Nightlife. Xo.” Spicky Hilton: “I lost the Glammy. I’m the Susan Luchi of the drag world...but I had a great time with my friends xoxo.”
This past week we also saw:
A Vlada Charity Event for The Trevor Project – GaySocialites.com presented an evening in support of The Trevor Project, an organization dedicated to saving the lives of LGBTQ individuals contemplating suicide. Ricardo Studmuffin, Matty Maggiacomo, Dina Marie, Charles Winters (GaySocialites.com), King Ralphy and more joined together to raise money and auction off hot boys for a great cause.
While Sherry Vine was recently away in Europe, Epiphany filled in at Barracuda with DJ David Serrano who announced to the crowd that he was snubbed and did not fill out a Glammy ballot. It hasn’t been the best of weeks for David, who was recently in an online war of words with 2008 Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Yasmin Brunet, who is now blamed for his Facebook page violating Terms of Service. The violation meant that David’s Facebook page, his connection to thousands of fans was removed and is no longer accessible. This story originally was broke on GaySocialites.com, but AntiTwink.com will be the first website with a follow up and comment from both Brunet and Serrano. Seen at Barracuda: Acid Betty, Anarexia Hurls, Jonni Rendi, Brandon Voss, T-Boy, Busted.
Speaking of Sherry, watch out for Ms. Vine’s new video, a parody of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.” AntiTwink will have the video for you as soon as it is released from Sherry Vine’s camp!
At Amanda Lepore’s birthday bash at BonBon was this past Tuesday we saw Demanda Dahling (out-of-drag) outside Juliet, a little tipsy, fighting with another intoxicated patron. Demanda stumbled back inside only to plop down drunkenly right on the dance floor. And what kind of birthday would it be without the host stripping down completely naked…just as Amanda did.
I heard from several insiders that the Out Music Awards was a bit disorganized and many of the V.I.P’s were treated like any old common hooker off the street. Yikes! Midway through the show, we hear that the Webster Hall was half empty and that the venue ran out of gift bags. I did hear, however, that nightlife vixen Dina Marie looked absolutely stunning. Can’t wait to see the photos.
But the big news from the Out Music Awards was Acid Betty. The fierce queen decided to walk onstage during a performance only to pose in front of the performer, then walked her shit out back and forth on the stage until security arrived. It seems that as security approached her, she politely asked to be let down. Security, unsure of the hybrid-queen, reluctantly helped Betty down from the stage.
Blind Item: Which wannabe promoter was recently spotted at Barracuda with a tall blonde twink during Star Search with Peppermint? The fag-about-town was said to be having an “extra special” time with his friend, making out all night long. Finally, after a few withering looks, a gorgeous boy trying to enjoy the show grabbed the party boys and screamed, “Enough, fucking cut it out or go away!” So much for romance!
We hear that new go-go sensation, Go-Go Harder has been romantically linked to Daniel Nardicio since late summer. ‘Tis the season for love! Go-Go Harder let us know that he has a new party which kicked off Thursday night called Control, along with fellow go-go patrolman Johnny Sanford, porn stud Owen Hawk and PhDJ down at Uncle Charlie’s LES. Now if that doesn’t get your heart-rate go-going nothing will!
