How To Read

"Shade came from reading."


Let's take it back a bit.  How would you like to hear a faggoty song by a queen from the House of Revlon about reading a bitch? 

I wish there were a YouTube of this, but sadly, it seems there isn't  Mecca Revlon: "How To Read."  Check it out here, but please also buy it on iTunes under Jonny McGovern's East Village Mixtape to support our sisters.

Gayme of Thrones

You have to be super gay and super nerdy to appreciate this.  But if you love Game of Thrones and Paris Is Burning, it's pretty fucking funny.

Tranny Quote

they DID find a mummified corpse in her posession after her death. . .

"Ru Paul's Drag Race" tonight reminded me of my favorite tranny quote. By the legendary Dorian Corey in the equally legendary Paris Is Burning:

Everybody wants to make an impression, some mark upon the world. Then you think, you've made a mark on the world if you just get through it, and a few people remember your name. Then you've left a mark. You don't have to bend the whole world. I think it's better to just enjoy it. Pay your dues, and just enjoy it. If you shoot an arrow and it goes real high, hooray for you.

Homework


I've been toying with the idea of changing my domain name for a while. I've decided against it for now, but I might buy it just in case I want to use it. It's a good one. I won't share so you vultures can't snatch it up. Suffice it to say, it happens to be in the fantastic documentary Paris Is Burning. The first thing I did was type my desired phrase into the address bar to see if it was an existing site. It is not, so my browser took me to a Google search of the phrase. The top hit was a link to a transcription of the movie. It's a little spotty, but it's great fun. See the movie if you haven't already, and check out the document here (if it asks you to download Japanese characters, just do it).
