Dear Friend,I am writing to you from my adjustable bed here in the Rehabilitation Center. It’s been a few days since I finally had my double hip replacement surgery, and I am feeling surprisingly good. This may come as a surprise to anyone walking past my room and peeking in at me, because I’m crying just about every five minutes. But these are tears of gratitude. I am so blessed.First of all, I am surrounded by friends. The staff here cannot believe how many visitors I’ve had. And those friends who can’t be here have sent flowers. It ...

Dearest Readers, I have a confession to make. As you may or may not know, I have some major surgery coming up and, just in case I never come out of the anesthesia, I want to come clean. I have been raising money, online and at bicoastal benefits, for a double hip replacement. I have tearfully explained that “there is no drag queen union” and “I have no insurance,” blah blah blah. And people have been so generous with their time and money to help me. So much so, in fact, that I feel tremendous guilt—for lying to everyone. ...

Dear Readers,Take a big-boned man-lady who has run around in high heels for over 20 years, add the fact that her mother drank like a fish and smoked like a chimney while pregnant with her, make it all take place right here in America instead of Canada and what do you get? A world-famous drag superstar with two hips that are crumbling like a sandcastle during high tide. NEWS FLASH: There's no such thing as a drag queen union, and as a result, I have no medical insurance. After years of excruciating pain, it's finally time for the ...

Close your eyes and you’ll swear legendary lady Billie Holiday is back from the dead. Open them and you’ll see that amazing voice is in fact emanating from the one and only Joey Arias. But there is so much more to Arias than simply his infamous, uncanny ability to channel Holiday. We spoke on the phone recently about his upcoming L.A. show, RuPaul’s Drag Race and sex with Ben Affleck.Welcome to LaLa Land, darling. I always think of you as the quintessential New Yorker. Be honest, what do you love about Los Angeles? I think L.A. is Never Never ...

“Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law—for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.” I cannot even read these words without my eyes filling up with tears. When President Barack Obama courageously said them in his recent inauguration speech, millions of gay Americans like myself finally felt like we truly counted. I make jokes all the time that mainstream acceptance is the worst thing that ever happened to the gay community because it has ...

She’s back! Yep, that sizzlin’, sweaty Southern slut known as Connie Slocum is back with an all-new show, Connie Loves Juice! I recently sat down with the inbred beauty’s alter-ego, actor John Cantwell, over Oki-Dogs to talk about everything from gauchos to “Gangnam Style.”For my unsophisticated readers who have perhaps been in a coma or living under a rock, tell us a little bit about yourself. I am an openly gay actor who came to L.A. from NYC after being raised in Louisiana. I used to be a minister of music but ended up being the "bend and snap" ...

Les Misérables is like a monster cock... It looks good, but it's way too long and painful. Anne Hathaway on the first thing she ate after ultra slim-down for Les Mis: "A big baked potato with sun-dried tomatoes!" #GoFuckYourself If you like salty chocolate you'll love my post-holiday treat: You eat an entire box of half-priced Christmas chocolate Santas while sobbing.
