Birmingham
* Chyna and I made a roadtrip to Birmingham, Alabama so that I could work with my old showgirl sister Racquel Scott, who is now a reigning goddess down there. It was a cool trip, which I will write more about later. See pix in the gallery!

Preaching OUTSIDE the Choir

So as someone who has been a showgirl in gay and gay-friendly bars since 1994 (Jeezus, 15 years!!!), I have met and worked with TONS of Go-Go Boys.

Les and Leith are a super-sweet trans couple who blog for Trannystar Galactica, and Leith (as Riftgirl) has lots of funny comedy videos as well.

Calpernia:
Happy belated 4th! And I love that you made a trip down this way to Alabama. (I’m in the most northern city…right below the TN line!) The next time you’re in this neck of the woods, drop me a line! We’ll have a few friends over and put some meat on the grill, girlfriend!
Bunches of hugs…
