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!

Wedding Ourselves!

Screaming Queens Entertainment is all over TV this month!

Whose Wedding is it Anyway on the Style Network:
Screaming Queens provided three dramatic Strolling Tables for an offbeat yet elegant wedding at the New York Public Library. That's right, the same location where Mr Big stood up Carrie Bradshaw!


My Fair Wedding with David Tutera on the WE Network:
A couple's fairy tale wedding was brought to life by our waltzing period characters as well as our lovely Marie Antoinette Strolling Table! While there were officially no drag queens at this one you can see in the photo that the boys wore makeup than the girls!

Our Love Mentor!

Last night our New York Taxi Girls appeared at the Mentor Foundation's New York Inaugural Royal Gala at the Waldorf Astoria. 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.

Welcome to the Grand Hyatt Shanghai!
Okay, I'm half lying. It was the Grand Hyatt but it felt like Shanghai.
Last night we helped create
an Asian fantasy world in the grand ballroom at a fundraiser for the National Jewish Hospital. Understated, yes?
