New Logo Series: Beautiful People Premieres TONIGHT

If you've ever watched anything on the LOGO channel then you know that its filled with repeats. I used to be an avid LOGO watcher until it well...it all started repeating.

Well, I'm happy to report there is a new show that starts tonight, 10:30pm EST on LOGO called "Beautiful People". Based on the life of fashion maven Simon Doonan, Beautiful People follows young Simon as he desperately seeks out the beautiful things in dreary suburban London. Hope its good, but I'm not holding my breath!

Check out the preview here!

Well, it seems our local Jessica Dimon didn't get in -- are we really surprised? Meanwhile, we have a Ohioan in the race, so we'll be tracking Cleveland-ite's progress, Akashia.

Here's her bonus video from LOGOOnline:

More Gay & Lesbian Video

Let's watch it, girls, and tell me what you think if you get LOGO.

National Drag History Month

For the first time ever, LOGO (you know, that gay TV station we still don't have on Cincinnati's Time Warner) brings us...



...honoring those sisters that changed our world and led our movement and bring us joy and love and alcohol.

To all of my sisters in drag, and to all those who came before, we honor you.

From NewNowNext:

Drag queens everywhere, REJOICE! Stand a little taller in your pumps, high atop that plywood-covered pool table! As the delicious Varla Jean Merman is proud to announce today, "January is National Drag History Month!"

Yes, children... Finally, all of those pioneering trans-tastic visionaries who've fought to entertain, enlighten and educate us for decades are getting their due! Think of the societal and cultural strides made by queens at Stonewall, at pride marches and on stages around the world. And trust: Whenever there's a cause that affects the queer community, drag queens and kings have led the charge on our behalf!

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com

Mary, mother of queens, honor these ladies with fierce nails, fabulous hair, 9 inch heels that don't bind at the toes, and support hoes. Gay-men.

CINCY GAY SCENE: Club Masque

In 2004, I had returned to Cincinnati from a summer at home after graduating and I got a phone call from my best friend: "We're going to this new club in Dayton! It's called Club Masque!!!"

Apparently, it had just opened, or something.

It was a club like any other, except I drove around and around and around looking for it. At the time, it was not marked saved for a small mask on the door in the back of a nondescript building.

I got drunk -- YEA! -- but our more permanent memories are of the Waffle House on the way home.

That, and my friends had just discovered poppers and somehow they thought it was a club drug.

Whatev, yo.

Bully on them: Logo just listed them as one the top fifty best gay clubs in the country. Per the website:

One of the best places I've ever been was in (believe it or not) Dayton, Ohio! They have a great scene there, and a cool dance club. It's multi-leveled, with hot Midwestern go-go boys, nightly events, and they sell T-shirts with funny slogans like: "I'd rather be masturbating!"--this is in small town O-H-I-O, mind you. Genius!

Thanks for treating us so special :-).
