The Naked Truth
By Jane Lane
New York’s wild, on-the-scene tranny chaser, J.R. has made quite a splash all over town. He’s been seen with his penis hanging out at The F Word, following nightlife legend Amanda Lepore all over town, and even hit up Sherry Vine’s show at Barracuda this past week with Jonni Rendi. Maybe I should be out buying a wig…
I’ve heard from many people that the Pill Awards were way too hot. I also heard from many sources that the event lacked booze to keep the crowd entertained, which resulted in lots of unhappy nominees throughout the evening.
Maybe this isn’t exactly gossip, but I know from many sources that Jeffree Star is one of downtown New York’s least favorite individuals. Jeffree has been accused of ripping off Jackie Beat, standing up Michael Formika Jones in the past at 40C, and I’ve even heard that Jeffree used to hide behind Raquel Reed after her transition from Los Angeles to New York City. Well, Jeffree is ready to lay the critics to rest with his newest music video, and I must say, I am impressed. Check it out here!
Did you catch the Ugly Betty episode this week, featuring Epiphany, Hedda Lettuce and other fantastic New York drag queens? Jump on Hulu and check that shit out!
It seems one of the hottest parties took a hit last week, as The Happening at The Hudson Hotel had a few problems getting people in. I’ve also heard from a few on-the-scene models, that Su Casa isn’t doing the best on Wednesday evenings. This should bode well for Lee Chappell‘s Drip, which is scheduled to return to the Grace Hotel very soon.
TheDragDirectory.com, the first site of its kind for gender illusionists to promote their personas, launched this past week. The site, which features local and national drag queens, will allow visitors to discover and interact with drag talent in a new way. Check out yours truly, along with Shequida, Peppermint, Sherry Vine, Shealita Baby, Bianca Del Rio, Logan Hardcore and other fantastic New York talent on TheDragDirectory.com.
Everyone seems to be promoting to the gays this week. Melissa Rivers was at the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle to promote her new book, Red Carpet Read. She dished on lots of celebrities and talked about her experiences in New York City watching celebs make mistake after mistake. Joan Rivers is also in town this week, as she offers an evening of her newest and most outrageous riffs on Hollywood, pop culture, celebrities, reality TV and award show fashion. Finally, drag legend Rupaul was at Borders in Columbus Circle on February 5th to promote and sign her new book, Working It. It seems everyone’s an author these days.
It seems that Andres Serrano—infamous for his “Piss Christ” portrait—has been approaching several New York nightlife personalities to pose nude for his new book. It seems a party promoter who recently made a fuss over an AntiTwink gossip item may be stripping down for the camera, as well as yours truly. Could you imagine me naked? Really?
