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.
How totally cool is this girl to have a gaggle of drag queen gogo dancers at her super sweet sixteen!

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 gorgeousSilver 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 designerVanessa 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.

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!
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!
Whose Wedding is it Anywayon 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!

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 turnedSweetieinto a gorgeous fire goddess!
Blaynewhipped 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 forAcid 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 AlumVarla 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. Read all about it:
Jet Bluehas a new flight to Vegas! What better way to communicate this than with our lovely leggy showgirls:

Boston Tea-na Party The roof of the Boston Taj Hotel was the perfect setting for last night's festive birthday party which featured our glamorousMarie Antoinette Strolling Table and New York's most amazing drag queen Tina Turner impersonator!
"Where do you put it?" asked a bold member of the Boston elite. "Wherever I want to." said Tina with a sly look.

Lucy Ricardo left NYC for Connecticut I can see why. It's quite green and lush, a nice change from the city where we are barely aware of the onset of spring. Last night we delivered some necessary glamor to a Greenwich CT benefit for Kids in Crisis.

Oo La La Sassoon! I know, I know, that was the slogan for Sasson (jeans), not Sassoon (hair stylist) But he is still French! We appeared at a 1960's theme hair industry event for Intercoiffure, the worlds greatest hairdressers, on Saturday evening. Vidal and I felt an instant attraction! Okay, I'm lying, but hey, I would do whatever it took to get him to do my hair!
Holy Matrimony Batman!It was a second wedding for both of them, she wasn't doing the wedding dress thing. It was an elegant yet casual affair at their stunning hideaway in Sagaponack... that's the Hamptons for you out-of-towners. Guests were greeted by our lovely Drag Queen Brides:
Virgins in white Manila, Epiphany, and Peppermint.

Divine in Nature
John Waters simply loved to film Divine, his drag queen femme fatale, in natural settings, and I can see why. The clash between the natural and artificial creations can be stunning.
We recently returned from a big bash in West Dover Vermont and it was quite exhilarating. In addition to appearances by drag queens Miss Understood and Epiphany we also got a chance to debut our dazzling new Blue Strolling Human Table:
