Interviews

Anthony Rodriguez

You have danced and choreographed for many legends in the music industry, including Prince, Cyndi Lauper, Jennifer Lopez, Tito Puente and Marc Anthony. One of your standouts was your solo performance of “La Isla Bonita” during Madonna’s Drowned World Tour. What was one learning experience she gave you, either artistically or personally? What did she learn from you? Personally she shared with me a part of her career in simply having me in a soloist...

George Lamond to Headline Queens Pride

You grew up in the Bronx and Puerto Rico, but the borough of Queens (where you will be headlining Pride this year) shows you mad love. What are some of your favorite places to visit in Queens? I’m a straight up Mets fan. I love to visit Citi Field, which will always be Shea Stadium to me. I love to cook. That is my second passion. I used to go to culinary school. I enjoy...

Dina Serves Heart-y Deliciousness

Whips ‘80S Classic Into Pride Anthem A staple among NYC’s velvet rope scene – alongside friends Amanda Lepore and Bianca Del Rio – Dina Delicious’ name celebrates her pleasing curves. “My friends call me Double Dee. I added Delicious because I just am!” She has undergone dozens of surgeries to transform herself into the bodacious art form she is today. “You know when you go to the doctor and they have you fill out the...

Sir Ari Gold

An unimaginably long 20 years passed after the first wave of superstar acts like George Michael, Elton John and Boy George came out of the closet with barely a sign of any new openly gay musical artists following in the path they left behind. Devastating factors like HIV/AIDS, homophobia and the struggle for equal rights might explain this absence of representation in the music industry, but Sir Ari Gold has never been interested in playing...

Phi Phi O’Hara

Phi Phi O’Hara walked into the Bunk House with her adorable boyfriend Mike an hour or so early. She was totally no “drama,” incredibly regular, so willing to mingle with the crowd, and just having a good time. I enjoyed interviewing her and appreciated her openness. I loved her quickness and sense of humor. Phi Phi O’Hara was runner up to Sharon Needles in Season 4 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. She was seen every week...

RuPaul’s Drag Race Winner Jinkx Monsoon

Jinkx, congratulations! Has the nonstop whirlwind of being crowned “America’s Next Drag Superstar” been exhausting? Thank you so much! It’s not that bad. I’m always tired, I’m used to being sleepy! You don’t really hear too much about Seattle’s drag scene. How would you describe Seattle’s drag? It’s wonderfully diverse, from pageant queens to dirtbag drag queens, from burlesque queens to stand-up comedy queens, we really do have something for everyone out in Seattle. The...

Nacer Paul

Q&A With Nacer Paul How did you get into photography, and what influences you? Originally I didn’t set out to be a photographer. It just kind of happened. I did some modeling work and designed for many people, for clubs, for different events. I didn’t see photography coming. Capturing the essence of masculinity with urban culture is my style of shooting. My biggest influence to date will have to be Carlos Arias, New York-based fitness photographer,...

Ivy Winters

By the time this interview is read, Ivy Winters from this season’s RuPaul Drag Race will have already performed twice at the Bunk House. The amazing thing about Ivy is she is a “real” performer. She makes her own clothes, her makeup is flawless, she eats fire, juggles and can be found on stilts. She is up for Miss Congeniality this year, and she certainly deserves to win. So Ivy, you’re from a small town...

OSCAR IS MUY CALIENTE

Gay Funny Man Brings the Fiesta to Barracuda Oscar Aydin isn’t a lot of things. He’s not a grouch. He’s not a golden statue. Nor is he a weiner. But one thing he is: He’s funny! Experience his comedy live when he premieres his variety show, Muy Caliente – hosted by Bianca Del Rio and co-starring his comedian friends Peaches Rodriguez, David Finklestein, Sharon Spell and Jordan Carlos – this Cinco de Mayo at Barracuda....

DJ RICO ALEXIS

Born and raised Jersey Boy DJ Rico Alexis started DJ’ing back in 1998 for private parties, sweet 16s and house parties as a second job. Five years ago when he lost his full-time job, Rico decided to follow his dream of producing, remixing and DJ’ing. Deko Lounge in Sayreville, new jersey (now iKon Lounge) was the first club to give him that opportunity back in OCTOBER 2008 working the Bar Room on Friday nights. Rico...
