J’IRAI JUSQA’ ALA MORT MAIS JE NE FERAI PAS UN PAS DE PLUS
Friday at Speaking From the Diaphragm it was Look at Those Cute Couples Nite with Skype visitations from green artists Beth Stephens & Annie Sprinkle the Eco-sexuals from the Bay Area, Heather Cassils & Lady GaGa in Los Angeles and Bruce “Judy” LaBruce and his cubano husband from Toronto with live super sexy couple Brian Kenny & Slava Mogutin and Billy Miller of Straight to Hell Magazine. I didn’t really feel like going on Friday because that morning I heard about the death of Will Munro the wonderful artist, designer and queer club entrepreneur from Toronto who changed all of Ontario with his love, spirit and tireless energies forging a true sense of community with a varied group of multidisciplinary artists at his club nites Vaseline and café/bar TheBeaver. Bruce & I did a little tribute to Will on my chat show installation. I waxed nostalgic about having performed at the early days of Vaseline and I can tell you that it was transporting thinking of his shows with Cherrie Currie of the Runaways, Kembra Pfahler of VHKB, Glen Meadmore and Jayne County. I have fond memories of Will with his thick Canuck accent showing me around, and giving me a little T history tutorial. Will died much too young of a rare and strange brain cancer that usually only affects children. Will is a good ecosexual and he is now helping to fertilize and renew the planet.
The ecosexual message of Beth Stephens and her lover Ms. Annie Sprinkle couldn’t be more timely with that humungous oil spoil raping the Gulf coast and doing irrepairable damage to the environment. Seen in the audience milking in the cute coupledome: juicy Australian art and fashion photographer Paul Gunn, Casey Spooner of Fischer/Spooner who now seems to be working more with the Wooster Group along with his male companion Adam Dugas, Casey was a guest on Speaking From the Diaphragm on Sunday, cute laptop of a boy PJ Deboy of Shortbus fame with posse, beautiful Berlin artist and one of my students from the Weissensee Art School Lydia Hamann, NYU professor and dance theorist Barbara Browning and landscape artist to the shtars Brian Funk, who has been coming to the piece almost every night.
Saturday was a grueling early and late show. For the 8pm my co-hostess was bearded sex symbol Jennifer Miller looking so fetching in a white pant suit. The program started off with jr art star Marc Arthur,tranny performing and writing goddess Kate Bornstein, who is the nicest most sincere woman on the planet engaging the entire audience in tantric orgasm, cyborg couple Jeremy & Mashinka lookingg resplendid with a sci fi burlesque that left the SRO crowd agog and panting for more, and chicano art diva Nao Bustamante who is starring in an upcoming art reality TV show, with her companion FuFu who did some circumvented daredeviling.

It was difficult doing two shows in a row but with such fantastics throngs I overcame my swollen joints and sore throat. Seeing a beguiling Julie Tolentino in fine form with a smoking hot Pigpen, a glowingly pregnant Claudia Gonson of The Magnetic Fields, jr art stars Max Steele of Scorcher Magazine and Joseph Keckler with his violinist Dan Bartfield, a surprise visit from writer and sexpert Patty Powers charming everyone, and New York royals Ela Troyano and Uzi Parnes made it all worth while.

Thursday was our Ethyl Eichelberger Kabala Cabal with all of New Yorks royalty on board. It was the first time that any artist winning the EE Award did a special evening devoted only to Ethyl, so a lot of young people benefited from the live history and expanded cinema presentation by Joey Jeffreys who is an Ethyl and drag scholar who has documented countless hours of drag in his private archives. Joey gave a nice overview on all that is Ethyl. It was amazing to witness a performance by Black Eyed Susan who did a recitation from St. Joan that was written for her especially by Ethyl. BES showed the crowd just what stagecraft is. She looked like a teenager and that is no easy feat for an 83 year old seasoned woman. Delighting everyone with their giggly enthusiasm and youthful exhuberance was Joan Moossyy & Agosto Machado wearing matching cotton candy pinc and completely charming the audience. Jennifer Miller who worked at PS 122 as a young secretary did a tribute to Ethyl’s fire eating abilities and the night was closed by a sumpteous milkening by legend Salley May of the Church of the Avant Garde. John Edward Heys put in a magical Skype appearance from Berlin filling the room with his gorgeous resonating voice. The winner for the 2010 Ethyl Award will be downtown great John Kelly who accepted via a pre recorded video film from Florida. The spirit of EE was certainly in the room as their were many fist fights breaking out between straight girls and elderly homosexual men. The straight ggirls won hands down. The Chat RouletteKlatch has quite the effect on people. What can I say they are just too damn sexy. I am so lucky that I have two wonderful make-up artists Jordan Chin and Melissaa Ip who alternate beating my face. The celebs of the evening were the remaining Ridiculous Theatre members plus Jack Ferver from Strangers With Candy who according to Art Forum is now a top choreographer, handsome musician Xavier, writer Linda “Les” Simpson, poet and performance artist Nicole Blackman of the Courtesan Tales looking resplendid, Mashinka Firunts and hubby Jeremy standing out in the crowd with their youthful zest and vigor,Mindy&Keith Obadecky the wonderful New York performance couple.
