Question: how many fucking gala dinner's can one organization have? Oh, right, they're "the largest civil rights organization working to achieve gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality". We forgot. Heatherette designers Richie Rich and Traver Rains were there celebrating their "Heatherette Hearts HRC" t-shirt collabo of which Rich says: Traver and I obviously would not be where we are today without the inspiration and support of our gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender friends and customers. Heatherette has always been about equality — we’ve never geared our collection to one demographic. Well, no, we suppose not, but one must admit that chaps may not be the biggest hit in Kansas. Oh, wait… Back to the picture: it's not quite as iconic as the Perez Hilton, Joan Rivers, Michael Musto trifecta, but there must be a word for it. It's on the tip of our tongues, but we can't quite figure it out. So, reader, why don't you give us a hand. Or, rather, word. (We'll also accept a phrase - we can't stop thinking about Sesame Street, if you know what we mean.) More pics after the jump… |

Haven't the good people of Salem been through enough? [365 Gay] • Mark Foley spent half-a-million bucks on the National Republican Congressional Committee over eight years.

We've had a hard-on for Cazwell since we first came to NYC. How long ago was that? We can't say, both because we try not to date ourselves (unless it makes us look young) and we can't really recall… Anyway, we were thrilled when his homies contacted us about reviewing the club-kid turned homo hip-hopper's upcoming album, Get Into It (Peace Bisquit). With a dab of electro-pop mixed with a healthy amount of old-school flavor, dance-ready beats, and irreverent lyrics, the funky, rap-heavy offering promises to become a faggot-favorite. Sure, it may not be perfect, but given Cazwell's comedic timing, totally fuck-worthy persona, and a slew of guest stars, such as Amanda Lepore and Avenue D (one of the few bands to survive the fall of electro-clash), we have a feeling Cazwell's debut may even transcend the walls of gayville. While the first single "All Over Your Face" deserves all the positive attention it's received, we're pretty keen on "I Buy My Socks on 14th Street" and "Do You Wanna Break Up?" We've posted the video for the latter above so you can form an own opinion and all that. Even if you're not a fan of that particular track, the video features cameos by a who's who of NYC nightlife, including Candis Cayne, Michael Musto and Sophia Lamar. With a trannie bar brawl climax, it's sure to hit the spot. Learn the words now so you can impress your friends when the album drops November 14th. Ya heard? |

Master dirt-digger Michael Musto has really delivered with his coverage of the HX Awards this week in New York. Some of our favorite gay tidbits: • Zulema Griffin of Project Runway: Season 2 revealed that she is a lesbian and that the producers wouldn't let her talk about it! Imagine that, considering all the gayness permeating every stitch of that show. It makes us think she is lying. She did prove herself to be one cunning lady. • According to Big Brother evictee Will Wikle (who is domestic life partners with Logo anchorman Jason Bellini), Cyndi Lauper is trying to set her son up with Madonna's daughter Lourdes for an inexplicable reason. • Venerable drag queen Hedda Lettuce got booed after making a bad joke about Kevin Aviance and his wired-shut mouth. • And finally, in the desperation category: porn director/media whore Michael Lucas showed just how badly he wanted attention by talking about how he sucked penises to acquire all the jewelry he was wearing. Yawn. We can't say that we wish we were there, but we thank Mr. Musto for making us feel 400% more homosexual just by reading his column this week. La Dolce Musto [Village Voice] |

• While Elton and David honeymoon in Venice, World of Wonder has some great photos of the wedding guests. Yes, dear, everyday is Halloween. And who is that drag queen? And, no, we’re not talking about Kelly. [WOW Report] • Cyndi Lauper is headed for Broadway and set to star in The Threepenny Opera, the play about thieves and prostitutes. It’s our kind of show. [Yahoo News] • Josh Rubin has hand selected Cool Hunting’s top posts of the year, which we imagine was a very hard thing to do. [Cool Hunting] • Proof that Leandro Becker is our favorite DJ. Who cares that we’ve never heard him spin. [Made In Brazil] • Michael Musto’s Felix Awards are the only 2005 round up you need to read. Forget the others and go now. [Village Voice] |

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.” Cirque Noir: There's A Pussy In My Gay Porn! [Gay Porn Blog] |

The Bid 2 Beat AIDS auction has gotten off to a great start, but we still have a lot of money to raise for LIFEbeat. Today’s featured items will make great, irreverent gifts. Do you know someone with a lame-ass voicemail message? Are you sick of listening to it? Now is your chance to give the gift that keeps on giving (every time you ring them up). Michael Musto, Jackie Beat, Dan Savage, and a few other offbeat, oddball personalities have agreed to write and record a custom voicemail message for the winner of these ridiculous auctions. And because Queerty has such a devoted following Bradford has also agreed to offer up his squealing, gay voice. Yes our resident wannabe-somebody editor can be the voice of yours or somebody you love’s outgoing message. This is a fundraiser for a good cause. So get to bidding queens. We don’t want to be outdone by "The Dell Dude". |

• So that big gay Brazilian kiss never happened. And the gays in Brazil are so not happy. They are performing a kiss-a-thon in protest today. Yum, hot gay guys kissing in the streets. Someone take pictures! • Patti Lupone, yes Evita and now Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd, lets the world in on a secret. Drama club is for freaks and gays. • Sweaty giant hairy testicles ran the New York Marathon yesterday. For a minute we thought it was Gay Pride.
• Madonna took Lourdes to the Harry Potter premiere in London on Sunday. We could care less about her. We had more important pictures to get excited over. Namely, the suddenly in puberty Mr. Daniel Radcliffe. We are calling it. In a few years Harry Potter is gonna be hot. • Our WOW friends gather answers to the question “Why is Michael Musto important?” from a selection of the freaks and the famous. We are neither, so they did not ask us. • Bradford was on Logo this weekend being interviewed. That was fun and next time we promise to give you a better head’s up. |

• Oh good. Trent is NOT crazy. Wonder if he knows if Madonna’s playing the Roxy?
• Bea Arthur is doing a benefit for the Ali Forney Center. We are so going. • The University of Utah held a Queer Spelling Bee, where “Queertestants” had to spell words like debonair, fag hag, and DeGeneres. • Michael Jackson is going back to court. This time as a jurist. He may be picked if the lawyers are looking to fill the jury with middle-aged white women. • Looks like Musto is hitting all the gay blogs. We thought we were special. |
