FUN NEW iPHONE APP

It's called Ugly Meter and I just used it on a photo of Ben Cohen. It rates you and then gives you a fun compliment or snarky insult. You get the best results when you line it up accurately.


Ben Cohen just got a 0.0/10 on the Ugly Meter. Think you're hotter, try it yourself!

Ugly Meter - Available for iPhoneiPad, and Android

NOW THAT'S A SEASON FINALE

I'll be watching next year! This was a great finale and my recommendation for next year is that they make it two hours and make the first hour an actual drag show/pageant.






BEN COHEN PERSPECTIVE: THIS WAY OR THAT

SHARON NEEDLES WINS! WILLIAM'S SECRET REVEALED!!


Dragrace
RuPaul hasn't let "lying bitches" spoil this year's Drag Race finale like they did last year, the Daily Beast reports:
Naturally, audience members and the gaggle of queens (Pork Chop! Yara Sofia!) who filed into the El Portal Theatre last week for the reunion taping had to sign away their firstborns before being allowed inside to witness the coronation. They also had the pleasure of experiencing Ru’s magnificent entrance: “Excuse my beauty, bitches.” 
But it was all a ruse. Once again, RuPaul had pulled one over on graceful Chad Michaels, spooky Sharon Needles, and spunky Phi Phi O’Hara, giving them the hardest challenge of all. Each was filmed fake-winning, and America’s next top drag queen will—finally!—be revealed when the show airs tonight.

In a sickening red gown, gold slingbacks, and matching gold curls, RuPaul took time out to explain the process to the audience. “We are going to film the ending three times so we can protect the integrity, because I know how it is with you lying bitches.”
What else will you see?
You will see the underwear-clad Pit Crew models dragging in Willam to face RuPaul and finally explain to viewers why she was the first contestant to be unceremoniously dismissed from Drag Race. Hint: it has nothing to do with barfing and everything to do with sex. Charo makes an appearance to bail out Kenya Michaels. Phi Phi O’Hara addresses the haters, Jiggy Caliente weeps, and Latrice Royale receives five standing ovations and many more catcalls. Is “We love you, Latrice!” the new national anthem?

THE GO GO's 2012 TOUR


I LUV THE GO GO's! I have seen them numerous times - the first was 1984ish and the last on their last tour for God Bless The Go Go's cd.

They'll be touring for probably the last time (see tour dates below) and I intend to be there! Also, Belinda has a new cd coming out (May 5th maybe) and it includes a great cover of The Monkey's Pleasant Valley Sunday.
A Kindle Review

Now that Belinda is completely sober her singing and performing are better than ever. In her 2010 memoir, Lips Unsealed, she dished very little about the other girls and instead focused on her life as a music obsessed, overweight (for her town), fashionista (who made her own clothes because she liked too and because she was poor), abused teenager (by mom and dad) who co-foundeded The Go Go's with Jane Wiedlin. 

When she writes about the next 20 years of her life as a Go Go, a solo artist, wife and mother it is mostly about her troubles with insecurity and drug and alcohol addiction. Here she is very disconnected from her experience which is what the drugs and alcohol do. She seems honest in retelling her life on the road and how The Go Go's gave Areosmith and Kiss a run for their money for most wild rock band. Then there was the time that she and a friend narrowly and luckily escaped being abducted and sold into the sex slave trade when trying to score some drugs! She reconnects emotionally with the reader once she regains sobriety and begins living a productive life again as a wife, mother (her son is gay and she is now a GLBT advocate) and performer. 

If you're a fan of The Go GO's, Lips UnSealed will keep your attention - just don't wait for the tv movie. For a complete and contrasting review of the book, visit Kenneth in the (212) which is where I learned about the Go Go's 2012 tour.
