A tranny invasion with the queen of fucked-up shit, Christeene appearing as a special guest? All in a night’s work for Cody Bayne and Heklina! By night’s work I mean weeks of planning, promoting, and drag queen wrangling all along the golden coast; truly bringing meaning multiple meanings to Labor Day.
The girls went wild, and the boys got drunk – quite the fucked-up wknd at the Echoplex. Thnx for the memories, or lack thereof in some cases.

Last weekend culminated with Trannyshack LA presented by Cody Bayne & Heklina herself, and while we don’t get to partake in the fun as often as those in San Francisco, the antics that ensue every so often at the Echoplex more than make up for it’s infrequency. Using the term shit show is putting it lightly, especially when the incomparable Fade-Dra opens the show.
In addition to some SF regulars like Lady Bear and Ambrosia Salad, LA staples Detox and Rhea Litre’ also graced the stage, or in some cases intentionally sullied it. And speaking of grace and stage, NY royalty Sherry Vine killed it during her special appearance; and yes it was filthy.
To name names, in typical Trannyshack style, the VIPS were in attendance, including current Drag Race contestant Raja, also known as a man as Sutan Amrull, James St. James (with camera crew on-hand), and tranny-chaser extraordinaire Mario Diaz amongst others. If you like men who dress up as women with an artistic twist, this was the place to have been Sunday.

With Heklina and some of the other San Francisco ladies of the night coming into town a few days early for the impending Trannyshack LA, it was expected they would make the party rounds. Luckily enough, the queen dame herself made a special appearance at Fuzzy, Mario Diaz & Cody Bayne’s too cute for words musical extravaganza. It was an excellent surprise, as were celebrating the birthdays of Matt Chaney, Jefferson Hendrick, and some other due whose name I can’t remember – sorry.
With a different avant-garde act taking the stage every month, last week’s shirtless entertainment by Sir Earl continued in that tradition. And in proper tranny chaser fashion, Mario also had his now svelte band-mate Jackie Beat stop by with the lovely Sherry Vine, both in chic boy drag. And with that, tranny weekend overload had begun.

I rang in the end of the year with a gluttony of drag queens and a porn star. Given my track record, I feel that it was the most appropriate way to spend it. To be specific, the drag queens were the ladies of Trannyshack, with Heklina & Joshua J. holding court; and Mr. Kennedy Carter who manages to carry himself with such humility and humor it only makes him more attractive. The event, held at DNA Lounge, was packed to put it mildly. I think this may have been one of the few New Year’s that I’ve fully enjoyed as of late. Thank you ladies and boys of the night for the good times, even though my getting kicked was TOTALLY not my fault. Needless to say, there was a whole lot of look.
Btw, homie Kennedy has started an entertaining blog recently that captures aforementioned humor with undeniable intelligence. A recommended read, hyperlink above, and here if you’re lazy.

After working a half day, I headed over to pick up homie Jeremy Lucido and then we proceeded to Palm Springs for the shit show that is Trannyshack. Now, I use the that term cause you really never know what could happen – and I LOVE that. No disrespect.
First stop was tequila shots with Cody and Mario, then it was show time. While the performances were stunning, my personal highlight was getting to see Heklina actually eat ass on stage. Though I’d heard the stories, I’ve never actually seen the act. Bravo.

The tranny train pulled into town from SF last weekend, and as would be expected the shenanigans ensued. ‘Circus’ would be an adequate word to describe the series of events from past Friday evening. Heklina and the other ladies from the bay joined forces with Cody Bayne (@codybayne) and a few familiar LA performers to put on a show that can only be rivaled by few.
The highlight of the evening was legend Kembra Pfahler’s performance – after seeing her I can now fully understand why so many performers look to her referentially for influence. It was also good to see the fun, friendly faces like Lina Lecaro (@L_in_A), Mario Diaz (@mariodiaz), & Nacho Nava (@mustachemondays), amongst others.
In addition to the onstage entertainment, World of Wonder’s (@worldofwonder) drunk Damiana was on hand to conduct some interesting interviews. The full Daily Freakshow episode will likely be up shortly, but you can view images from the night right now. Check below.
