Trannyshack, the legendary drag party from San Francisco, is coming to New York City for one night only on Thursday June 8th. A screening of the film Filthy Gorgeous: The Trannyshack Story will be followed by a NYC Trannyshack show featuring the talents of Scissor Sister Ana Matronic, Juanita More!, Sherry Vine, and of course Trannyshack’s founder Heklina. Heckles recently caught up with our Editor-At-Large Bradford Shellhammer to discuss the New York show, the film, and who she dreams of rimming.

What do you have in store for us New Yorkers at your upcoming show?
Well, it'll be an assortment of Trannyshack alumni past and present, focusing more of course on ex-Trannyshackers who've moved to NYC and also some NYC names who played at the club.

Who'll be performing with you?
Darcy Drollinger is helping me to promote and host the show, Sherry Vine will be appearing, Ana Matronic (doing a possible duet with Jake Shears), Juanita More!, Renttecca, Electro the Pop and Lock King, Vinsantos, Faux Pas, Tai Chi, Christy Love, Miss Trannyshack 2005 Coco Canal, and more.....

Tell me about the movie. How did it come about? What can we expect?
Over the course of the past ten years that Trannyshack has been going on for, umpteen hundred people have attempted to do films on the club, but no one has stuck it out and actually finished one until now! Sean Mullins and Deena Davenport spent an exhausting year (2002) documenting every show and interviewing almost everyone associated with Trannyshack, and I have to say it's pretty comprehensive-they've done an amazing job.

You're legendary in San Francisco for rimming audience members onstage. Who in the world do you most want to rim?
Oh God, where to begin? I would love to rim Clive Owens, Paul Walker, Hugh Jackman, Brad Pitt, that guy who starred in the remake of the Amityville Horror, Chris Meloni, Ryan Gossling, almost every Jewish and Italian guy in NYC, any member of any NFL team, any man in a sailor suit, um.....OK, I'll stop now.

After the jump Heklina tells us if she is flithier than Lady Bunny.

We are still trying to process the news Gay Porn Blog reported last week about TitanMedia’s decision to use a female-to-male transsexual not fully male in their new feature Cirque Noir. Yes, vaginas in gay porn.

We decided to ask a few friends of Queerty what they thought of the inspired casting. Below are their reactions.

Michael Lucas, porn star and director. “First of all let me tell you that I adore Titan and I think that they have a very important niche in the business. Masculine, hairy, mature men fucking the living hell out of each other, covering themselves with sweat, spit, cum and often urine. And I happen to believe that this is hot. I also know that this is in demand, big-time. What I don't think is in demand is a man with a vagina. Actually, this is particularly weird to me. As I understand once upon a time there was an ugly dyke who decided to turn herself into an ugly, bald, chubby man. But for some bizarre reason, kept her pussy. But what confuses me the most is how can one who just couldn't stand her gender, want to get fucked by a bunch of gay guys? And more importantly, would any gay man ever pay money to see it? I think that gay men have a very rare desire to masturbate to a vagina, but if they ever will- it better be attached to a really beautiful woman. Anyway, one thing is for sure, this brings a lot of publicity for Titan, and I guess that was the idea of this human tragedy.”

Michael Musto, Village Voice columnist. “Cirque Noir is obviously part of a diabolical plan to get gays interested in vaginas. It gets us all hot and bothered by showing us a hot stud, then pans down to his twat, slyly hoping to pervert, I mean convert us to straight. The religious right is obviously behind this sickness. Don't watch!”

Peaches Christ, San Francisco drag star. "My friend Jared worked on Cirque Noir and has been telling me about it for months. I'm excited to see the elaborate circus sets, costumes, make-up and clown fucking. I'm all for clown fucking, otherwise I'd be abstinent."

Jonno, editor Fleshbot. “Well hmm, I’ve always said that as far as most gay men are concerned, pussy is the last taboo - We'll piss into each other's mouths and shove fists and traffic cones up each others' butts, but merely mention that word "vagina" and most fags will start gagging like they've just found half a worm in their apple or something. So it'll be interesting to see how Titan's gamble in casting Buck Angel plays out.”
