The Door and Hardware Institute (DHI) had their 36th annual conference at New York's Jacob Javits Convention Center yesterday. Who better to welcome attendees from across the globe to New York City than our lovely Lady Liberty and Ms Taxi? Our New York City theme showgirls made a lot of new friends and posed for about a thousand photos.

My Big Pink Greek Baptism

If I'm not mistaken I think this was our first baptism. Our lovely Pink Fantasy Floral Strolling Table was a hit as usual. Were they intoxicated by our lovely pink showgirl or was it just the pink champagne?

Send in the Clownz:

The Standard New York commissioned Screaming Queens to devise some innovative characters to ring in the New Year. We, of course, delivered 8 foot tall clowns from outer space. Wouldn't you?

Janet Jackson, you are hired!

In addition to real celebs such as Rihanna, Rachel Zoe, and Padma Lakshmi, Lanvin's star studded Halloween Extravaganza featured performances by our amazing celebrity impersonators.

It seems Janet Jackson heard we were coming and decided to audition: She dressed in drag as dude!

Anne Hathaway just couldn't get enough of our Dolly Parton impersonator. Was it the boobs or just her friendly smile?

Aliens Invade Citi Field

Reports of extra terrestrials encounters are pouring in say officials. Sightings took place yesterday during the auto show at New York's Citi Field. Strange creatures were seen moving through the crowd and performing ritual dances on platforms.

"They seemed to enjoy attention" said Jonathan Lin, a 32 year old guest who claims a life form with telescopic limbs and blinking lights on his or her torso befriended him and posed for photos.

There were no reported abductions or cavity probes.

Disco Mitzvah

Last night's event really blew us away! The ultra-glitzy Bar Mitzvah took place at New York's prestigious Pierre Hotel. The ballroom was transformed into a multi-tiered fantasy disco. Visuals included four of our gorgeous Silver Showgirl Disco Dancers, six Human Disco Balls, and our ever glamorous Silver Sequin Strolling Table. Oh yeah, Justin Bieber was there too. If you've never been to a Syrian Bar Mitzvah you haven't been to a party!

254 and no Botox!
Last night shoe designer Vanessa Noel hosted an intimate reading in honor of Marie Antoinette's 254th birthday. Esteemed author Susan Nagel read a passage from her new book Child of Terror: The Fate of Marie Antoinette's Daughter.

Every birthday party needs a birthday girl. Since the real Marie was missing her head we thought it best to send an elegant impersonator.

Naughty Kitch-Inn
The Oxygen Network is having a great year for fabulous larger-than-life ladies! After just recently providing 3 luscious drag queen Marissa Jaret Winokur impersonators, we were called on again to impersonate irreverent chef Blythe Beck to promote her new series The Naughty Chef at New York's Fashion week. I was astounded, said Mimi, pictured center "many people thought I actually was Blythe Beck, including a reporter from MSNBC!"

Our fabulous client celebrated her 50th at the same time as Barbie!
Her Barbie theme fantasyland was expertly designed by Joseph Todd Events! Our drag queen Barbies served over-the-top glamour while our real-girl Barbies sported custom made replicas of the original Barbie's striped bathing suit.
The real hit of the evening was our pretty-in-pink Barbie Strolling Table!

Holy Cannoli!
Last night's wedding in Wading River NY was a lovely multiculti affair. In celebration of the groom's Scottish heritage they brought in authentic kilt-wearing bagpipe players. Man are those things loud!

The bride's Italian family decided to represent in style with our gorgeous Italian theme Strolling Table! She looks like she floated right off a spaghetti sauce label!

Blue Humor
It's not always easy to stand out at a trade show. InPro Corporation, which produces interior and exterior architectural products, had to make a splash at the AIA show in San Francisco. Lucky they called on us, attention getting is our specialty!

Inpro's website and promotional materials feature a quirky mascot: a faceless skinny blue man in a hardhat who resembles a Gumby-like lanky rubber toy. Our assignment? Bring the blue man to life!

Makeup was not an option, the character has no face! Luckily we had just the right person. Hector has been making and wearing fantasy costumes for years, most of which cover his face. When the designer and the performer are the same person there are multiple advantages. Most importantly: a perfect fit and no complaints about wearing something so odd and restrictive for a full day.

Things went so well that Inpro immediately booked us for three more shows!

English Class

Last night Screaming Queens Entertainment painted the town red, white, and blue at a British theme fundraiser and auction for the SEARCH Foundation thrown by ISES, The International Special Event Society.

Our ultra-regal Queen Elizabeth I Strolling Table commanded attention as "she" presented special auction items! Our sultry Sequin British Flag Ladies charmed guests into buying raffle tickets.

Every great party needs celebrity guests. We wrangled UK icons Scary Spice and AbFab's Patsy Stone. It takes a couple of drag queens to do these divas justice!

It was packed with international VIP's including supermodel Paulina Porizkova, Queen Silvia of Sweden , and Prince Turki Bin Talal Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia. That was all fine and dandy but we were far more impressed by our favorite little potty mouth, to the ever lovable Dr. Ruth!

Screaming Queens Walk The Runway

This week's Project Runway features some of Screaming Queens' brightest stars: Sweetie, Sherry Vine, Acid Betty, Hedda Lettuce, and Miss Understood.

Hedda Lettuce clashed with Suede over his awkward design.

Terri turned Sweetie into a gorgeous fire goddess!

Blayne whipped up a fantasy frock for Miss Understood that looked great but lacked proper construction and began to collapse. Hey, these guys had to whip up glamorous garments overnight, give 'em a break!

Korto's Asiapunk concoction for Acid Betty was a brilliant. Poor Betty was distraught when she discovered that we don't get to keep the outfits.

Bringing home the medal was Screaming Queens Alum Varla Jean Merman in Joe's sequin Pepto-pink bell bottom sailor suit! Just so ya' know, this was 50/50 collaboration. Varla used her knowledge of classic film wardrobe to conceive of the dress and Joe executed it perfectly.

It was as if the original 60's Enterprise had landed on a Venetian planet!

My ladies and fops (all 18 0f them!) had such big firm cages under their dresses they could have lined up and formed a fort to protect Gotham Hall from an invasion.

We got a great write up today in Newsday, Long Islands best selling daily. Here is an abbriviated version of the article:

IMPERSONATOR ADDS 'WOW!'

Sweet 16 fete was No Drag

By Hana Albert
Newsday Staff Writer
August 27th, 2006

Crystal Mack's sweet 16 party had all the customary flourishes. A sparkly purple dress bought for the occasion, a spotlight dance to "My Girl" with her dad, a 40-minute candle-lighting ceremony, and - a drag queen.

Halfway through the party, a RuPaul impersonator bounded onto the dance floor, clad in a red miniskirt that clung to muscular legs and 5-inch silver stilettos in women's size 13.

Drag queens are appearing more and more frequently as entertainers at sweet 16s, anniversary parties, corporate functions and even bar and bat mitzvahs. Party-throwers, their guests, performers and the agents who book them say the trend is a sign that drag has, in part, shed its history of taboo and found audiences beyond the gay club scene.

Drag goes mainstream

"I think all of what you're seeing is a mark of drag becoming more mainstream," said Rosamond S. King, an assistant professor of English at Long Island University's Brooklyn campus who specializes in sexuality studies. "Theoretically, there's a certain amount of respectability that goes with being hired in these different arenas."

Alex Heimberg - the chief executive of Screaming Queens Entertainment, which sent the eight-year veteran entertainer Peppermint to Crystal's party - started out performing at nightclubs under the pseudonym Miss Understood and realized his act could have a wider appeal. After three years performing, he started Screaming Queens in 1995.

Since then, Heimberg has seen demand growing for his drag queens. In a busy month, he said, he sends out two dozen performers, compared with three or four a month in 1995.

"What we often do at bar mitzvahs and weddings is that at a certain point in the evening, when everyone's a little drunk, is burst into the room and dance with people," said Heimberg, whose company also has supplied drag performers for corporate events thrown by Samsung, Starwood Hotels and Lucky Brand Jeans. "We specialize in the colorful, cartoonish drag queens with pinkor blue hair, and the fantasy looks."

At a surprise 40th anniversary party in Bellmore for Anthony and Beatrice Lapadula, it was a dark-haired Cher celebrity impersonator who took the stage under a tent on their back porch. He's Steve Aviles, a performer who lives in Queens with his partner and manager, Robert Ojeda. But in costume, he goes by Mirkala Crystal.

Shimmying in a tight black bodysuit with a sparkly pattern, Mirkala lip-synched to Cher's classics and new hits.

"A gay bar in New York City or adults and children in Long Island: Anyone who would have a drag queen at their party is open-minded and wants to have a good time," said Peppermint, who asked to use his stage name because that is his identity while performing. "But I definitely made my act a little - a lot - more PG than I normally would have in nightclubs."

In an effort to give her daughter's sweet 16 an edge that other parties didn't have, Gina Mack of Dix Hills shelled out a lot of money for Peppermint to perform. "We wanted to do something different and spectacular," she said. "People look at the entertainment.... We wanted something with a 'Wow!'"

Mack said she took precautions to ensure that the show would not be inappropriate.

"I told them no sexy clothing, no stomach showing," Mack said. "She wasn't going to do a strip show. She was going to sing."

Leah Steuer, 16, of Plainview, said Peppermint was an adventurous departure from the other sweet 16s she's attended, which feature "really loud DJs who play the same terrible music all the time and possibly really bad arcade games before."

Seeing Peppermint perform was a surprise, she said. "A pleasant surprise."

Screaming Queens Outrageous Paris Party!

We had a big celebration last night at Headquarters to celebrate Our Paris Hilton impersonator Natalie Reid's Playboy spread.

Pretend Paris bares all for Playboy!

Screaming Queens' Paris Hilton Impersonator Natalie Reid made headlines during fashion week when she was mistaken for Paris in Bryant Park. Tongues are wagging once again over her six page spread in the September issue of Playboy which is due to hit the stands on August 8th.

Natalie's an actress and a model who is just lucky enough to be born looking like Paris Hilton. Columnists and bloggers often portray her as an obsessed fan who spends all of her time passing as Paris to accumulate freebies. While she has often been given VIP treatment for her resemblance to Hilton, she generally appears at events that she's hired for. Guests generally spend some time wondering if she's really Paris. Once word is spread that she's a professional celebrity impersonator they generally want to meet her and pose for a photo. It's all in fun, believe me, she's no identity thief!

Screaming Queens was contacted last week to provide a delicious drag queen model for the cover of the upcoming Scissor Sisters album "Ta-Dah" Bandmembers Jake Shears and Ana Matronic went wild for Keisha. Was it her chiseled cheekbones? Her petite size 4 figure? Or was it that seductive smile? Keep your eyes out for the album and let's hope she gets a closeup on one of the singles!

How do you top a great Manhattan event space with a great view? How about a space directly across the river with a stunning view of the Manhattan skyline? It's called Waters Edge and it's located in Queens. The crowd was largely Russian and if you've ever worked with a Russian crowd you'd know that they love glitzy entertainment. We brought them a dazzling drag queen Cher impersonator, our Human Dessert Tables, and a gaggle of glamorous gals serving up cigars and dancing the night away.

Our bird ladies made their debut at Cipriani for the annual Artrageous Gala. It was a specacular dinner and and silent aution to raise money for Edwin Gould Services For Children. At $500-$1000 a head I'm sure they raised a good chunk of change even before they sold much art.

Look how purty:

Our collection of ensembles for real ladies (as opposed to us fake ladies) is growing and growing! Keep your eyes on this space for more genetic girl glamour!

Wig Out

Screaming Queens wig designer Perfidia made a name for herself in New York's club scene for her animated lip sync performance to underappreciated divas such as La Lupe, Yma Sumac, and Caterina Valente. In the 90's she created Perfidias Wig World located in both of Patricia Field's downtown boutiques, House Of Field and Hotel Venus.

If there's an edgy or avant garde project brewing, New York insiders know to call on Perfidia. She was brought on board for Boy George's Broadway show Taboo and she's currently working with Alan Cumming and Cyndi Lauper in the new controversial production of Threepenny Opera. Perfidia was key hair designer on the twisted TV show and upcoming film Strangers with Candy. Yes, she is the one responsible for Jerri Blank's bizarre coif... and many of mine!

We are often asked to customize our Human Tables to fit a theme. I love those requests because if gives us a reason to come up with a new costume design that we can add to our collection. Please meet Screaming Queens Entertainment's

Everything's Coming Up Worldcom!

That's what "Liza" sang in tribute to her friend Ethel an in honor of Worldcom PR who concluded their international convention with a shindig at the legendary Friars Club. Since Jeff/Liza is a live singer it was easy for us to tailor all of his lyrics to fit the event. The gathering was also a charity auction which opened up with our "Queen Elizabeth" auctioning off the Royal Throne... a gold toilet seat!

American Asscociation Of Museums
Screaming Queens was called on to brighten up a large event at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston. Our Strolling Human Tables served delicious sweets to hundreds of museum execs who know great art when they see it. Who doesn't love a drag queen table lady?

It's Raining Rainblo!

Running a company that specializes in providing drag queens for parties and events can be completely unpredictable. One day we'll appear at an intimate birthday soiree, the next day we are dressed for a theme in a room full of celebrities, and a week later we're strutting our stuff at a Bar Mitzvah. Every time the phone rings a new opportunity arises.

My newest star is Rainblo. She's like my little punk rock sister. I sent her out to two sweet sixteens this month! Don't get me wrong, it's not as if every parent in America wants a big freak like her at their little darling's sweet sixteen, but there's always someone with more eclectic taste out there who wants to dazzle their friends and family with a pretty lady like Rainblo:

Donna Karan Holiday Party
What a spectacular event! The decor was all winter white accented with silver. Iggy and I dressed in white to match the decor. Our Human Disco Balls fit in perfectly. We brought on Hedda Lettuce and Sherry Vine to serenade us with some twisted Christmas songs.

Seen: Frank DeCaro, Lypsinka (out of drag) and 60's legend Verushka!

Life and Style Magazine asked us to provide celebrity impersonators for their recent anniversary/Halloween party at Marquee Nightclub. Our Joan Rivers impersonator, Gary Dee, was a hit on the red carpet!

Inside we brought the crowd alive with performances by our gorgeous Madonna impersonator, our energetic Gwen Stefani Impersonator, and our glitzy Christina Aguilara impersonator. The star of the evening was Natalie Reid, our Paris Hilton impersonator. Even the other lookalikes working the event thought she was really Paris! Yes, she's a real girl, I checked.
