The Point Foundation Gala
* Andrea and I attended the Point Foundation Gala, a fundraiser for the GLBT scholarship that gave over $1 Million in assistance last year to students who lost support due to their sexuality or gender identity expression. It was hosted by k.d. lang (who I thanked for the music in Soldier’s Girl) at the Directors Guild of America in Hollywood. In addition to meeting the inspiring young scholars I got to spend time with some wonderful women from the community, such as the amazing Joanna and VDay’s Donna Rose and Vicky Ortega.
* For entertainment, there was a condensed reading of the upcoming independant film Save Me with cuties Chad Allen and Robert Gant. It’s about drama at an “ex-gay ministries” house. During the after-party in the lobby aaea, I scavenged for hors d’ouvres and got to chat with Christopher Rice, who is so tall and charming! There were many cool people I already knew and I took that last opportunity to show off my cape ensemble before snatching up a gift bag and zipping away home. Yay!

What I Wish I Had Known About Transition When I Was Younger
about 2 years ago - 15 comments
Transition is never perfect, never easy and never finished. But it does get better, it does easier and it does recede into the background as time goes by. I started my transition in my early twenties, after escaping from a completely unaccepting home situation in suburban Tennessee by joining the Navy. My family’s fundamentalist religion…

Calpernia Performs “Stunning” and “Miss Dis” at Benefit

As mentioned in this earlier post, I performed at a fundraiser for a local adopted kindergarten class as celebrity guest of the CSULB chapter of Delta Lambda Phi. No, the kindergarteners weren’t in the audience during my racy numbers, ha ha. It’s really hard (for me at least) to perform on a blank assembly-hall stage…

* Thanks, Shay! I forgot to mention, I was wearing my pink cowgirl boots, too. I switched into them after my bit on stage at the GLAAD Media Awards, too, and also wore them to dinner with Placido Domingo the Wednesday before. They’re the boots I wear when I ride my motorcycle, so they have motor oil stains on them, but they’re so cute and comfy…

Nicely done. I like the look as well. I think white during summer just makes you feel great.
Are the cowboy boots what I see peeking out from under the hem??
