Theatre Review: "Peter and the Starcatcher"
Its always a difficult proposition to transform a novel into a stage play – if you staged a novel page for page, it would probably run at least six hours if not much, much longer. So it may be a little unfair of me to suggest that Peter and the Starcatcher should be even shorter than its two acts and two hours. But, sorry to say it, that is exactly what keeps this fun and occasionally thoughtful roller-coaster ride of a show from being a true knock-out.
Fire Island '12: Invasion Or Not, Just Look Hot!

It’s almost that time of the year, ladies. The moment when an island is overtaken by sheer debauchery, lust, drugs, and a nice helping of overpriced alcohol. Yes, the season for Fire Island is quickly approaching even with the back and forth “he said, she said” nonsense about The Pines and its condition. Whether or not that Mecca of Chelsea boys in exile will be up and running come 4th of July has yet to be seen but who cares, right? Get out your best Louboutins and weave and hit the open ocean while looking your fashionably best.
I’ve compiled a list of five drag “looks” that I personally think would be showstoppers with originality and creativity. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a queen pull off these looks… well, not half decent anyway. Keep in mind all of these get-ups can be yours if you give yourself enough time to browse the women’s sections of your local thrift stores. Trust me; they always have better women’s garments anyway.

Editor-in-Chief's Roundtable: Inside the Editor's Studio
Having a degree in theatre, I’ve always watched “Inside the Actor’s Studio” with great interest. I find it intriguing to hear actor’s discuss their motivations behind characters and their experiences during various projects. I also find James Lipton to be kind of a hoot, and when it came out he once worked as pimp in France in his earlier days, my admiration for him only grew.
At the end of each episode, he asks his guest a series of ten questions, originally developed by Bernard Pivot for his French television show, Bouillon de Culture, and adapted by Lipton. It has become known as the Pivot Questionnaire, and the answers are as revealing about one’s personality as fun to give.
The Pivot Questionnaire came to my mind earlier in the week when I was looking for a quote I originally posted in my old LiveJournal (yes, it’s still online, oy) and I realized I provided my own answers sometime back in 2003ish. Reading them, it quickly became evident that I wasn’t familiar with the person who wrote them. I wanted to see how my answers would change almost nine years later, with a little more of life under my brasserie. And what better place to answer them than here, as well as see how some of my closest colleagues, friends and characters have to say.
Charles Winters and Demanda are once again on my little panel. And weighing in this week we have three very special guests. The first is ever controversial Conservative spokesperson for the Lord, Shealita BaBay (and she really will, folks!). Secondly, we have GaySocialites.com columnist, fashionista, nightlife personality and all-around fantastical lady, Kenyatta Khan. Lastly–a treat–writer, actress, photographer, model, media whore, creator of The Gerry Party and definite personality, Gerry Visco.
With that ladies and gentleman, we begin…
Dylan's Crystal Ball: I help Karma. My name is Dylan!
My transition back to my former life as a gay playboy hasn’t been as simple as the fictious story on April Fool’s Day made it seem. Since Anthony went to jail, I haven’t found God. Frankly, for all I know religion is a bunch of bullshit. I can’t imagine that there really is a higher power with the ability to wiggle his or her nose making things happen. It sounds a little too much like “I Dream of Jeanie” to be believable.
When you’ve been dealt the hand I carry around daily, its hard to believe that a higher power is looking over me. If they, then this higher power is one sick fucker! Then again, the higher power might be punishing me for my actions in the past.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not sure I would trade my life for anything. However, I’m lucky I’m alive with my upbringing. I’m certainly shocked I’m not more revengeful.
I do get my fair share of revenge on people. I like to think I’m helping karma. No, my name is not Earl or anything; but I do like to pay a bitch back when given the chance.
