Upon arriving in SF I grabbed some food at Miss Saigon with Allen, then headed over to Q Bar for my first of two consecutive bookings at Booty Call – the next one’s tomorrow. I was elated to be there with Juanita MORE and Joshua J along with a bevy of other bay area friends. Though I kept my trip into the city a bit of secret, I still managed to run into about half the people I know there within 2 hours. It seems to always happen that way. Guest DJ Chelsea Starr was adorable, and turned out an amazing set. The only disappointing aspect of the evening, was that it was my first time at Booty Call – I finally realize all the fun I’ve been missing.
I also managed to run into the Cafe for a few minutes to catch up with my RuPaul’s Drag Race queens, Ongina, JujuBee, Raven, & Tyra. It’s always great to catch up, and I’m also very happy and proud of their success. Love you all.
Thanks for the love SF, cannot wait to be in you again.

88/ PORN STAR THREESOME

The above title does not refer to my personal life, but rather a special edition of Rim Job. Our fab host for the evening Jason Sechrest brought along some ‘friends’ to dance in their underwear – those being Trent Locke, Travis James and Dayton O’Connor. Though I’ve become familiar with Trent and Travis, it was a pleasure making Dayton’s acquaintance. Getting to photograph attractive under-dressed gentleman is something I hope to never take for granted.

86/ WEEKEND WRAP UP

Granted it may be a week late but my travel schedule has kept me busy – we’ll that and I’ve been lazy. Last Friday we collectively made the rounds at MJ’s, Faultline, & Mario Diaz and Cody Bayne’s latest joint venture Fuzzy!
The lovely Ongina had hosting duties at MJ’s and worked her magic on the crowd, and as if that wasn’t enough there was a special “performance” by Malachi Marx from Randy Blue. And we all know what a fan I am of the product produced by Mr. Blue. Quite a friends stopped by, a blast was had.

85/ POST FINALE TUESDAY

After wrapping up the finale for the show I was working, I had to haul over to the El Rey to catch Kate Nash in all her adorability. Sadly, I missed a large chunk of the show, but the finale was well worth the rush. She brought out Supercute and they all sang together on stage, matching costumes included.

84/ TEXT, LIES, & VIDEOTAPE

Last Monday the release party for Text, Lies, & Videotape was held at Here Lounge. The fete was combined with the Sassy Drag show, porn and Queens – pretty much describes my life. Being a huge supporter and friend of the folks over at Randy Blue, I was honored to be asked to shoot the event and immediately agreed. Fan favorites Chris Rockway, Dallas Evans, and Micah Brandt signed autographs and had the honor or judging the queen contest, all while shirtless. Needless to say the crowd was bigger than any Sassy audience I’ve ever seen. Personally, I’m very much looking forward to seeing the movie, especially since total sweethearts, Nicco Sky and Riley Price both make appearances – love you guys. I also have to admit I’ve quickly developing a crush on Travis James who also came to hang out – a top notch guy! Plus wearing an X-Men cap earns immediate nerd points with me.

83/ BEAR CLIMAX

Taking Saturday night off from “working” to have a drunken adventure with Vang was truly a genius move, though the lack of photographs leaves things permanently fuzzy, it’s probably better that. Though, I did get to spend the night at the DTLA Standard and raid a minibar! The stuff of dreams. This was my one break from the great hipster bear weekend of 2010, now back to the furries.
Sunday after spending some quality time with Momma Ayala I went to celebrate with everyone’s favorite den mother, Lady Bear. She made a rare, non scheduled appearance at Chris Bowen’s Bears in Space. Given her presence, the boys all felt a little less guilty getting boozed up instead of spending the evening with their mums. Great job in turning out another awesome party Kevin & Chris, memories sold separately, or rather soberly.

82/ ANNIVERSARY

Last Friday the anniversary party for Frontiers Magazine was held at the Factory and I was on-site to capture it all. It was great to catch up with editors I hadn’t seen in a while and meet other staff. I fully support the magazine and am honored to continually be featured in their nightlife section. Here’s to another 29 years!
