"Name Your Gay Superhero" Contest

In my last post I wrote about a bunch of anti-gay groups forming into one giant ball of vile hatred, in order to fight the "homosexual agenda". In that post I wondered what gay superhero would answer the call when we activated the "Gay Bat-Signal"...

Amber LeMay had a great idea - she is offering a FREE copy of Slingbacks and Syrup (the documentary about the House of LeMay) for anyone who can come up with a fierce gay superhero.

I will start, even though I'm ineligible to win - I already own a copy of the fabulous Slingbacks and Syrup!...

My gay superhero's name would be Miss Spent Youth. She is a drag queen, and her secret power is the ability to age a Ho 50 years with her withering gaze and a wave of her gloved hand.

Who is YOUR gay superhero? Leave a comment to be entered in the contest. Amber will select the winner, since she is providing the prize ...

Slingbacks And Syrup

I have just seen the feel-good documentary of the decade! Slingbacks and Syrup, starring our very own Dust Bunny Amber LeMay (below), was recently a huge hit at the Vermont International Film Festival - and I can see why. It is funny, touching, and extremely entertaining. By the way - this was the only picture I could find where our dear Amber didn't have a drink in her hand...

Anywhoo, the documentary follows the "ladies" of the House of LeMay, a troupe of drag queens from the fictional Hot Damn Trailer Park in the fictional town of Beaver Pond, VT. The LeMay's story is told by filmmaker/director Russell Dreher, who met the LeMays during his graduate studies in Burlington, VT. Dreher tells us how this troupe of hilarious, outrageous, and GORGEOUS performers changed his life through their friendship.

We meet (from left to right, below) Lucy Belle LeMay, Amber, Marguarite LeMay, and Liza Little. We also get to meet the real men behind the mascara - and all the behind-the-scenes work they do to raise money and awareness for various charities and good causes.

For more information about the movie, go to the website HERE. And for more information on the House of Lemay (including their wonderful blog), click HERE.

Better yet - go HERE and purchase a copy of Slingbacks and Syrup for the drag queen/performer/glamour bitch in your life. It makes a perfect holiday gift or stocking stuffer.

Or, to purchase and watch on-line - go HERE. You'll be glad you did.
