Alyssa Edwards Serves It

Alyssa Edwards

@AlyssaEdwards_1, “it’s just drag” but drag is anything but “just drag” it’s a beautiful art and we couldn’t be happier to see her craftsmanship.

Excitement video of @TheBiancaDelRio for @HurricaneBianca

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_KxozYVfjE]

Probably the most interesting collection of fans, our favorite is the lady from Indonesia, “can’t you see my excitement.”  If you want to see the movie, let’s get it funded.  Imagine what would happen if it’s not funded? If you thought a Hurricane was bad… don’t want to think what she’d do if it wasn’t.

@HurricaneBianca hits $46K!

The support from fans of @TheBiancaDelRio has helped the funding for @HurricaneBianca reach over $46,000!  But they’re still a long way from done and with only 21 days left, the race for funding is definitely on.  We are huge fans of all things drag, but that aside, we are huge supporters of projects such as these that get awareness of the injustices still happening in our country and around the world.

The more we get the word out there the better fight we put up.  So check out the site www.HurricaneBianca.com where you’ll find TONS of fun stuff, like the video about the movie, insult videos for the donations made, more information on Bianca and the crew and most importantly, where to donate.

More with Pollo Del Mar (@TheGlamazonPDM)

In our next segment on the gloriously fabulous and unbelievably kind Pollo Del Mar, we talked about her experience with RuPaul’s Drag Race.  She told us she’s auditioned every year prior to season 7 and “they don’t want me.”  The closest she came to being on the show was when she was in the top 10 fan favorites for season 2.  Jessica Wild went on to star on the show, but she said the experience definitely changed her.  She met some of the future seasons’ stars like Mimi ImfurstPandora Boxx and Jujubee, who remembered Pollo as being “on that website against each other.”

She admits she knows why she wasn’t cast when looking back on her audition videos and is grateful that she wasn’t cast due to the dramatic change in her overall look.  She’s glad she didn’t go down in Drag Race Herstory with her former look.

As for this season, the requirements were just more than this busy lady has time to complete.  Being a regular contributor to the Huffington Post Blog, hosting The GlamaZONE at The Café in San Francisco, creating “educational” YouTube videos on her very popular channel and being the proud parent of two beautiful pups doesn’t leave much time for a 40 hour project, which is what it would have taken to create and submit the video for this season. She also said she’d have to get in and out of drag about 30 times!

She also said she really didn’t feel it was the right choice for her anymore.  She really has built up her fan base and has catered her performance to her audience.  She felt it might not be a good idea to have her whole life put out there.  Despite the financial advantages being on TV provides.  “It’s scary, the idea of having somebody turn my life into reality TV.”

We asked her about the statement made by Honey Mahogany during Season 5 that San Francisco was “not about the look.” She said the statement is true, but out of context.  She explained that San Francisco drag is very eclectic and as a result, San Francisco doesn’t judge your drag on a specific look like pageant or camp.

Honey’s statement alone explains Pollo’s point, you never know what the editors will show and what will last in the audience’s mind.  Although, if the world got to know Ms. Pollo Del Mar as we have, they’d be in love.  She’s really a compassionate person who admits, if in a competition, she’d do what she had to and the nice side would probably go out the window.  “There’s $100,000 on the line” explains it all.

In our next segment we’ll cover the fan questions, so stay tuned! Oh and we’ll have more news on what’s next for Pollo and some additional pictures of the beautiful queen.

Our Letter to You @HurricaneBianca needs your help!

Hello Friends, Family & Drag-Hags!

We’re writing to tell you about a really exciting project headed by Season 6 RuPaul’s Drag Race Winner Bianca Del Rio and CBS News editor Matt Kugelman .  It’s a revenge comedy feature film and it looks hilarious!

They launched an indiegogo campaign in order to raise funds to create this massive film —  About a teacher in a small country town that gets fired by the homophobic staff and decides to return in disguise as a woman to get revenge on the town and the people that were so nasty to him!

We’ve just donated to this project, and believe in this film and in Bianca & Matt.  PLEASE take a moment to check out the campaign at www.HurricaneBianca.com. This is our way to be part of an amazing film and tell the movie studios that the world needs more Bianca Del Rio!  PLUS, there are incredible rewards including personalized insult videos from Bianca, personalized drawings, autographs as well as a few exciting surprises to come during the campaign!

If everyone that follows Bianca on twitter donates even just $1, we would have $23.5K!  So imagine what $20 or $50 can do!

It would mean the world if you could DONATE what you can and spread the word. You can do this by simply clicking the Facebook and Twitter buttons on the page in the campaign link.

Just two clicks make a BIG difference!!

Thank you so much for helping to support this project we believe in.

Hope to see you soon!!

XOXO

@PeachesChrist and @Sharon_Needles in The Wizard of Oz

Peaches Christ Productions Proudly Presents

THE WIZARD OF OZ

with the ADULTS-ONLY pre-show parody
“The Wizard Of Odd” starring

SHARON NEEDLES as THE WICKED WITCH
&
PEACHES CHRIST as PEACHY GALE

At the Castro Theatre

Saturday, July 12, 2014 @ 3pm & 8pm

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOMO! THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOMO!

SISSY THAT WALK DOWN THE YELLOW-BRICK ROAD

WITH TWO OF THE WORLD’S MOST SPOOKTACULAR QUEENS.

DON’T LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN—THEY HAVEN’T TUCKED YET!

Warning! No young children admitted. This show is age-restricted to 13 years and up.

(San Francisco, June xx, 2014) When Peaches Christ and Sharon Needlesfirst worked together in 2012, they played among the most iconic characters in movie history in THE SILENCE OF THE TRANS. Last year, they were ‘90s teen-angst witches in THE CRAFT. So for their third annual collaboration, it only makes sense that they’re embodying the most iconic witch story in history, not to mention the movie that single-handedly turned the entire country gay while WWII distracted its leaders.

That’s right: THE WIZARD OF OZ is finally getting the Peaches Christ treatment!

Peaches will embrace her inner Judy complex in the role of Peachy Gale, and Sharon—the high priestess of Party City herself—will go green in a totally non-environmental way (all that hairspray is hell on the ozone layer) as the Wicked Witch. It’ll be a tornado of excitement when we gather at another queer institution beloved by old queens, the Castro Theatre, on Saturday, July 12 at 3 and 8pm—ONE DAY ONLY!
