outrageous
October brings cooler weather, fun-filled parties and the most frightening thing of all… new drag queens! In honor of the day that hatches more new queens
than any other, let’s go over someHalloween tips and thrills! I hope you’ve all gotten on those new heels and are currently wearing them around the house as you read this. Cardinal Rule #One: Please know how to walk in your heels! Many hours of fatigue and frustration, not to mention nasty blisters and bruising, can be avoided by spending some prep time and breaking in those new stilettos before prancing the streets and clubs for hours on Halloween night. I am a huge fan of a prescription pump, but for all those brave souls choosing seven inch towers of
terror...Good Luck! You may consider a lovely flat in your clutch on the big night for after your “contest” moment, they may just save your life. A very hilarious and special evening is in store
for you onThursday, October 12 as Queer Mafia presentsFunny Business Comedy Night at Hamburger Mary’s Long Beach. This will be a “fun”-draiser and comedy evening with amazing performances and music! Secret superstar A-list comedians are rumored to be lined up and I for one can’t wait. Even better, this event helps to fund California Families in Focus and their amazing work in southern California. As the weather starts to mellow out, it’s a great
time to check outHamburger Mary’s in Ontario and their weekly lineup of events. Catch ourSun- day Drag Brunch show,The Brunchettes, the bottomless mimosas and fierce breakfast buffet is sure to rock your Sunday out!Make reservations now as they fill up fast, by calling 909.944.9400 or go to
