On richly fertile land beside the Tigris River a short distance outside Baghdad sits Buhriz, Iraq. The city is currently under guerilla control, bearing testimony to the wisdom of spreading democracy through a shock and awe occupation. This past Friday, guerillas dressed as women carried out a deadly attack against a police checkpoint, killing six and wounding ten.

There is no word on whether any of the transvestite attackers were American turncoat gays serving under the hush-hush suspension of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Wire reports have left out the most important detail of the attack, namely, what the ladies were wearing. Queerty deplores this lack of attention to fashion detail, and encourages cross-dressing guerillas to, if nothing else, pick up the latest issue of Vogue.

The drag attack came just as major queens were getting their deserved measure of respect here in the homeland. While gay leaders fear a redneck backlash in reaction to the guerilla-girl assault, unconfirmed reports say that under stress, Lady Bunny pulled Hedda Lettuce’s wig clear off, and she got so upset that she had an accident on Sha-Boom-Boom’s bonbon. Gay male travelers and servicemen in Iraq are advised that just because it’s in a dress doesn’t mean it won’t have what you want underneath.

• Margaret Cho returns to television with a Fox sit-com. Let's hope the netwok's execs are nothing like the weight Nazis over at her former TV home, ABC. If so, they may insist the already trim Cho dwindle down to the size of its malnourished star, Mischa "Skeleton" Barton.

Queerty is sending out a big, sloppy, embarrassing, public drag queen kiss to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Just one month after firing a deadly Nazi torpedo into the heart of a bill that would have normalized marriage for gays in California, the Republican enemy invited Laura Schlessinger to speak at the 19th Annual Conference on Women and Families in Long Beach. The Schwarzenegger-Schlessinger axis is an established stronghold of contemporary prejudice; Schlessy is known to have a framed poster of Linda Hamilton in The Terminator.

Schlessy, of course, has a nightmare history of making bigoted remarks against LGBT and other living things. The dyed-blonde, poodle-haired monster calls herself “Doctor,” but you should only entrust yourself to her care if you don’t give a flying Chanel pump about your well-being. Schlessy’s own mother, for example, was found in a room after having been dead in it four months.

Schlessy went through a humiliation in October, 1998 when the ClubLove website posted nudie pics of her, including a money shot, taken in the past by an admirer. The event made all her prudish pronouncements ring as hollow as a 99 cent store dildo. No LGBT representatives were invited to that family conference, fyi; thanks Arnie, you’re a love!

Sometimes, life is stranger than drag. The born-female burlesque artiste Dita von Teese is to make a grand New York City appearance likely to have the Lady Bunny, Hedda Lettuce, Flotilla De Barge and maybe even Barbara Bush pushing up their bustiers and crossing their eyes in envy.

Dita is to appear at a Phillips de Pury auction on October 20th. The event is the “Take Home a Nude” benefit for the New York Academy of Art. La Dita will perform positively naked except for $5 million worth of diamonds, including Susan Rosen-designed diamond pasties and diamond G-string. The only way a slut can get luckier than that is if Hugh Grant hires her and then gets caught.

Much like the Lady Bunny, Hedda Lettuce, Flotilla and perhaps Barbara Bush, Dita von Teese spent her youth scheming to achieve the old fashioned Hollywood glamour typical of Hedy Lemar, Rita Hayworth and Betty Grable. Future cross-dressers among today’s youth might well dream of one day being Heidi Klum, whose self-portrait is on offer at this de Pury auction.

Ok. So she may not have been the first drag queen with a blog. That was RuPaul. Actually, that was AKA Frank Green. But in the short time she has been blogging Lady Bunny has made up for lost time. Her blog is funnier than ours. Imagine that.

This year has been a big one for Bunny. And we know how much this queen loves big ones. She celebrated the 20th anniversary of her legendary creation Wigstock, appeared on the Pamela Anderson Roast, and started a column for Genre Magazine. Never once has she lost the dirty mouth and acerbic wit.

Check out her blog. It is part social commentary and part glimpse into the life of a transvestite comic. Be prepared to laugh. At her or with her. Your choice.
