It's official!! My annual pride party Hey Tranny it's Tranny is back! This is the first teaser of what is to come, for now you'll have to soak in mystery... Our lineup of DJ's includes Amoania, Devil Eyes, and Phyliss Navidad (L.A.) and perhaps some other surprises?

Must Hear: Jessica 6

I recently got Jessica 6' album See The Light and it's been playing on repeat, particularly this song with Antony.



I first saw Nomi Ruiz (singer/songwriter of Jessica 6) when she was on tour singing for Hercules and Love Affair throwing a whole slew of amazing stage presence and working that voice through a lot of dancing shoes in the audience. I am excited that she will be on tour again, this time with her own music project Jessica 6, check out the tour dates Here but most importantly mark down her visit to Seattle, Wednesday July 6th at Nectar (Fremont), with opening DJ... Nark ! Exciting!

So here's a new one right? Local celeb, designer and Project Runway alumni Richard Blayne Walsh has been out hitting the town lately, but... maybe nobody realized because him and his beau we're done up in full fabulous DRAG. Well, under the monikers Safari Jones and Chick Likethegirl, these two lovely queens present to you their first party scandal, Switch! a Drag Show. What exactly does Switch have in store for you? I'm not really sure, the magic that awaits is even a mystery to me, but I do know that my drag daughter and gothic queen DJ extraordinaire AMOANIA and myself, Nark, will be on hand cranking out jam after jam. And the best part? We're giving it all away for FREE!
