New York's a wild town. Sure, it gets much of its reputation from the hustle and bustle of international culture, fashion, art and everything in-between, but the true meat comes from its fierce, uninhibited inhabitants. Take, for example, downtown darling Ladyfag.
Since moving from Toronto, this woman has taken the nightlife scene by storm, commingling with the freshest - and most made-up - faces in town. Ladyfag lives her life as she sees fit - taking chances, pushing envelopes and making no apologies for her love of the glittering game:
Most of the things I do, my parents would not approve of, but if you ever go out in queer nightlife, you know what wild’s all about. It’s just being over the top. Just meet me at The Cock one time and you’ll see wild styles!It's at The Cock - by way of a seder - that Queerty correspondent Michelle Groskopf chatted with Ladyfag about the evolution of her aforementioned wild style, the ins and outs of a good gender fuck and how women can embrace their inner faggot. Read the results, after the jump. CONTINUED »

There are all sorts of reasons a gay might have a moustache: they are rocking the entire facial hair look, they are channeling the 80s in an ironic electroclash way, or they just think it looks good. For these individuals, a quality pair of moustache scissors is a must, and Tweezerman is once again there for us when we need them. And they come with a cute little comb.
Another stache-related item of interest is the Moustache party in Toronto every third Thursday at Remington's male strip club. It's a pretty gay crowd, but guys and girls are both welcome upstairs and are encouraged to enter the amateur strip competition. Just don't take off your skivvies without a cabaret license or you may be hauled off the stage.

Ask and ye shall receive! Toronto blogger Donald provided us with some great photos from Saturday's Dyke March, which we had hoped to attend, but ended up missing. It looks pretty much like we expected it to be: naked boobs everywhere. See them all after the jump.
CONTINUED »It was a perfect day on Sunday for Toronto Pride, which, with an estimated 1.2 million attendees, was the largest Pride celebration in Canada and one of the largest in North America. The parade down Yonge St. had a nice mix of colorful queens, community groups, shirtless guys of all shapes and sizes, and lots of house and dance hall beats. And let's not forget the Super Soakers. We managed to protect our camera from the water gun toters long enough to snap some photos of the parade, which you can check out after the jump.

We also wandered around the festival along Church St. (the Toronto Gay Village) and saw some interesting characters, including some gay mounties. We're sorry we missed the Dyke Parade on Saturday, but we were still nursing a hangover from Friday night. If anybody has photos, please send them in!
Our day ended at Big Primpin's "Get Busted" party at the Courthouse, where we danced away every last drop of energy that hadn't been sapped by sun, beer gardens, and crazy queens.

Last night we went to Bruce LaBruce's French Exit party at the Drake Hotel in Toronto. Aside from the annoying straight girls swing dancing in the middle of the floor, we had a nice night, complete with a delicious, free cheese plate and top-notch entertainment from Canadian trannie sensation Lola who was dancing with a green light sabre and some fag with sunglasses.
What a little coquette she was, tossing her black feather boa around the necks of unsuspecting party-goers. The last time we saw Lola was in last year's Toronto Gay Pride parade where she was wearing nothing but a pink tutu and some balloons. See a couple more photos from last night's party after the jump.
