It all started a few weeks back, when we wrote on Sydney's Drag Industry Variety Awards. Always curious about the queers, our straight pal Cord Jefferson of Mollygood mused, "I've always wondered what I'd look like as a woman." We made his dreams come true…

We're not good with makeup, so we called living legend Miss Understood and old (old!) friend Adrian L. Acosta to transform Cord Jefferson into Princess Cordless.

Ever wonder what goes into the making of a drag performer? Well, now's your chance. The Power Issue feature subject Adrian L. Acosta has passed along this video of his very queer transformation into loud mouthed Amnesia Sparkles. With a Madonna soundtrack, naturally.

• It's that time of the month again. No, not that time – that shit usually starts flowing around the fourth week. We're talking about the new voting period for 247gay's ever-rotating cast of attractives. New additions: Pete Wentz, Eric Balfour and Ryan Diesel. We're still cheering for Days of Our Lives stud and alleged Lance Bass lover, Brandon Beemer. [247Gay]

If you're in NYC tonight and don't have any plans, head over to Bar East and check out No Subordination, the band fronted by Adian L. Acosta (aka Amnesia Sparkles). Even if you do have plans, you should cancel them and go, anyway.

Want to know what to expect? This is how Adrian described the show via email:

It's going to suck so good that people will not believe how awesomely band we are. We are going to start a new wave of bands that are so bad you can't miss them! It's going to kill. You guys should totally come if you can. Plus, proceeds will help some kids with problems or something.

Look! He invited us! Someone wants us somewhere? Incredible! We'd go, but we're washing our hair. Also, we have debilitating panic attacks when we leave the couch. Someone please help us, we're starting to rot.

Oh, and those kids with "problems or something:" they have AIDS. All proceeds go to the Children AIDS Society.

Bar East: 1733 1st Avenue b/t 89th and 90th). Doors open at 7pm. Be there or be squaroholics.
