In just the three years since I became a Twinnie fan, she’s put out her Hollywood Gypsy album (as well as acoustic and reimagined versions of it), a handful of singles, her Welcome To The Club EP and now her newest EP, Blue Hour (After Dark). Can’t say that she hasn’t been busy, some divas…
A couple weeks ago, I went to my favorite indie bookstore in Connecticut, RJ Julia (768 Boston Post Road in Madison) for a book discussion moderated by Sarah Darer Littman about the banning of books with a signing afterwards by author David Levithan. The discussion was enlightening because I heard some rumblings about book banning…
Earlier this year I did a post about discovering Jenn Champion and her Kickstarter campaign to get her new album The Last Night Of Sadness made. Because I backed her campaign, I got my signed CD, a handwritten postcard and a download of the album two weeks before today’s official release. Recently, I’ve had some…
Well cross another square off my gay bingo card of life, I met a Spice Girl. Not just any Spice Girl but Ginger Spice, in my gay opinion, the only one worth meeting. To be honest, I’m not a huge Spice Girls fan, but who doesn’t love “Wannabe.” When Geri Halliwell went solo with her…
I’ve been a Fefe Dobson fan for two decades, ever since buying her self-titled album on CD in 2003 because it was on sale. I love me a bargain. This was a time before Spotify, discovering new artists was a crap shoot but Fefe didn’t look like every other artist out there and with song…
In my gay opinion, the best indie book store in Connecticut is RJ Julia Booksellers in Madison. Wanting to support my fav bookstore and a gay author, I bought my $28.71 ticket for their Cody Rigsby photo-op event that came with a signed copy of his autobiography, “XOXO, Cody.” You know I love my autographed…
The thing I love about Maria Mena and her music is that she always goes there, especially on her new album And Then Came You. Whether she’s singing about a relationship’s messy end (her entire new album), mental health (“Try Again Tomorrow”) or death (“It Was Love”) she lays all her cards on the table…
1993 was a monumental year. At the time, I was working at a local electronics store in their music and movie department. Musically, Melissa Etheridge released her iconic, queer-anthem album, Yes I Am, and personally I was coming to terms with my own queerness with the help from a few angels of my own. Melissa…
Nxdia (pronounced Nadia with they/he/she pronouns) is a new to me diva. Their new EP In The Flesh caught my attention because it’s unlike anything out there right now but with a little familiarity because it borrows from so many genres. Nxdia’s bi-lingual (English and Arabic) song writing is solid and impressive. The EP’s sultry…
Conservatives have been making a huge stink about drag queens lately, especially reading story books to children, trying to spread their gayness. Let me share a little secret with you about the Gay Agenda, the drag queens were only our first step in making the world more fabulous, our real secret weapon is Idina Menzel’s…
