I feel like I’m still recovering from the epic sold-out Goddesscon 2011 aka SHOWGIRLS at the Castro Theatre. Over 1,300 screaming fans and 100 lap-dancers filled the historic movie palace for an evening of lap thrusting, volcano dancing, and high high glamour! It was an incredibly fun time and I’m already looking forward to next year’s insanity. For anyone who would like to see what some of it looked like, please check out the great video put together by the talented Priscilla Murray. You can see it by clicking RIGHT HERE. Speaking of next year’s Showgirls event at the Castro Theatre, we’ve launched a campaign to encourage Elizabeth Berkley herself to attend Goddesscon 2012. It will be her birthday in July and I would love it if she’d come to SF and allow us to worship her in the flesh! I’ve created a Facebook page that I’m hoping loads of you will Like and Share with all your friends. This is a cause that’s near and dear to so many of our hearts and I have faith that if we all pull our resources, we can make this happen. The “Bring Elizabeth Berkley To Peaches Christ’s Annual SF Showgirls Screening” Page can be found by clicking RIGHT HERE. Read More…
Hey Ghouls,
OK, seriously, you have to come. Finally, it’s here! This Weekend: Goddesscon 2011 aka our gigantic night of 1,000 SHOWGIRLS at the Castro Theatre is this Saturday! Celebrity judge Heklina is already threatening to rim someone onstage. Hide yo husbands! Hide yo boyfriends! She isn’t even kidding. And for any of you on the fence about whether or not to dress up this weekend- do it! Our sponsors have really kicked in some kick ass prizes and we’ll be awarding this stuff to Best Nomi and of course Best Crystal and perhaps evenWhoriest Nails. Get this, one of our prizes is an exotic night’s stay in JDV Hotels’ newest, custom hotel in beautiful Los Angeles. Other prizes include an hour long massage courtesy of Jeff Ramone, a year long gym membership to Golds, a San Francisco Street Sheet, and more! These are valuable hunty, expensive like Versayce.

Do you know what the worst part of roller-blading is? Having to tell your parents you’re gay. But for my dear ghoul-friend Mercy Fuque, the worst part was actually falling on her face in Golden Gate Park, shattering her leg and wrist and subsequently spending time in the hospital enduring surgeries and constipation. She’s a mess hunty! Rumor has it that Kegel Kater either a) pushed her or b) spilt some pearls in her path. The two “friends” were out for an afternoon of roller-blading when Mercy, sadly ate shit in public landing herself with a summer full of hospitals and doctor’s bills. As many of you know, when “one of us” is down for the count, we do what we can to help each other out and rally for a fellow queen. So, I’m hoping loads of you will come on out and attend the Lawd Have Mercy benefit this Saturday afternoon and help raise money for a great queen who could really use our help. Full details and Facebook invite can be found RIGHT HERE. Read More…
This weekend I’m hoping you’ll support the work of one of my dearest ghoul-friends Raya Light. She and Todd Pickering co-created an incredible Award Winning play called The Unbearable Lightness Of Raya a few years back that’s gotten a 2011 re-vamp and runs this weekend for three nights only. Raya Light is quite frankly, one of the most fucked up people I’ve ever met and her mental illness really benefits from this sort of showbiz exploitation. The play follows Raya’s rise to infamy from her demented childhood all the way to modern day. It’s a great show and it plays Friday, Saturday, & Sunday at 8pm at Counterpulse. Details are below.Also, after this show, there will be a staged reading of a new show that premieres this October called Halloween: The Ballad Of Michele Myers and my horror dork alter-ego Joshua Grannell has been invited to narrate the reading. He’s even going to sing! HA! It’s a fun look at another warped vision coming soon from the minds of Todd and Raya. Hopefully we’ll see loads of you out this weekend. Tickets & More available RIGHT HERE.
Hey Ghouls, Hopefully you all know that THIS FRIDAY NIGHT is our gigantic Purple Rain With Apollonia In-Person at the Castro Theatre. Well, I’ve got a really great update for everyone attending. Grab your Sex Shooter 45, or bring your Apollonia poster, or perhaps snag that old Purple Rain soundtrack because the incredibly kind and generous Apollonia has agreed not to charge for her autograph signing after the pre-show. You still must have a valid ticket to gain entry, but the beautiful one herself has agreed to sign one item per person that would like to meet her after the show and she’ll take a picture with you. We will not be selling Apollonia merchandise at the show so if you’re interested in having her sign something, you should try bringing it with you- although your complimentary event program does feature her on the cover. WOW! I could not be more excited for this Friday night. Tickets are totally on sale RIGHT HERE. Read More… |
‘Tis the season to be nelly! It’s Gay Pride Month and it’s always good for us (all of us, gay or not) to celebrate the impending end of the human race that the gay liberation movement is striving for. My ghoul-friend Jackie Beat put together a column of fantastic Pride advice from some of our most favorite artists, celebrities, and politicos about how best to enjoy this season and yours truly is included, at the end. At the very, very end. You can check it out RIGHT HERE.
Because June celebrates le gay, there are like a million things going on that I want you all to know about! I hope many of you Bay Area folks will attend Putanesca’s (aka Jose’s) upcoming art show this Saturday called “Heroes With Bling“. I’m included as one of the subjects, er, heroes and I’m very flattered to be. Jose is a genius photographer so head on down there and buy a print of your very own! Speaking of Putanesca- she’ll be reprising her triple-threat role as Nikki, Sheila E., and of course Apollonia at the giant upcoming Purple Rain event on July 1st. Our filmmaker friend Daniel Maggio put together our event trailer for us and it’s fantastic. Have you seen it yet?!? You can check it out RIGHT HERE! Read More…
You’re the very first to know that tickets just went on sale for our next giant show at the historic Castro Theatre and trust me beautiful ones, this is going to be a night you do not want to miss. For the very first-time ever, we are mounting our most rocking pre-show ever onstage at The Castro when we present PURPLE RAINwith the legendary purple mistress icon herself APOLLONIA IN-PERSON! I’ve been working on this for months, and it’s so exciting to finally be able to announce it to you guys! The one and only sex shooter, Apollonia has agreed to come and join us for an over-the-top celebration of all things Purple Rain. As always, our show will feature a giant performance tribute spectacular with returning guest stars Putanesca in a triple-threat role of unstoppable glamour, as well as, Martiny as “the dove”. I promise to bring my motorcycle! I’m sure Martiny will bring her deformed breasts and broken shoes. Puta will bring V.D. But I digress! Read More…

My lord, this has been a big week of preparation. My Underground co-host Sam Sharkey and I began rehearsing our rock n’ roll act with the band Citizen Midnight for next week’s gigantic SF Underground Short Film Festival and it’s going to be a metal number so bitchin’ that Satan himself could feasibly be summoned at some point during our performance. We’ll hit the stage at 7:30pm next Friday and the fun will not stop all night long. We have an epic evening of entertainment planned for your enjoyment featuring the work of over twenty local short filmmakers, as well as, the world premiere of the whacky and wild new feature film Devious, Inc. directed by xuXe and co-starring some Midnight Mass favorites like Fauxnique and Precious Moments (left). The shorts program is so huge that it’s going to feature an intermission, as well as, interactive performance elements throughout the night. If you can do it, I strongly suggest doing BOTH programs and pre-shows. I’m really super excited! If you haven’t yet, check out the online trailer RIGHT HERE. Read More…
OK, so I have to tell you that my “alter-ego” or whatever is coming out and making some upcoming appearances and while he’s kinda boring compared to yours truly, I thought some of you may be interested, if for no other reason than the events themselves are going to be wicked fun for everyone. Joshua Grannell (said alter-ego) joins Kevin Allison (The State), Will Durst (CNN), Adam Savage (Mythbusters), Mary Van Note (Comedy Darling), and more this Friday night for Kevin Allison’s show RISK! It’s a story-telling show where folks come and share true tales they never before imagined they’d tell in public.
