the music is dark, minimal, and absolutely uh-mazing... Shannon's voice is hauntingly moving and engaging, and her presence; awe inspiring.

Mary Go Round KYLIE MINOGUE Tribute Show!

LookOut
3600 16th Street
San Francisco, California

The newly re-vamped, hot as a Georgia pavement in August, Drag show may be known for serving the best of the best Drag entertainment; but it is not known for themed Drag shows. The Mary Go Round performers are elite, exciting and exquisite. Every week is chock full of quality performances, but in the nearly 2 1/2 years MGR has been at Lookout, there's only been a small handful themed weeks.
...But every now and then an opportuni...ty arises that truly warrants a theme that reflects the talents of these star performers.This week is one of them. Much like themed weeks at MGR, Kylie Minogue's US tours are few and far between. This week the ladies of MGR express their adoration for this pint-sized Impossible Princess from down under!

Mary Go Round Kylie Minogue tribute show starring:
Suppositori Spelling - your hostess
Miss Rahni
Becky Motorlodge
PrimaDonna Reed
Charisma Glitteratti
plus surprise special guests

DJ Derek B spins before and after the show.

The show starts promptly at 10:30 and will take you on a journey Light Years away. Enjoy $5 Stoli cocktails all night from your friendly and sexy bartenders.

Only $5 to get in.

Wowowowowowow! This show you won't be able to Get Out of Your Head!

GWYA: Well Queens, we all know Kylie will be in town very soon to perform yet another E P I C performance for our viewing and auditory pleasures <3 Let's practice our lyrics together at Mary Go Round. Fierce Queens. Stiff Drinks. And a lot of Kylie <3<3<3

PARTY HOLE

SUB MISSION
2183 Mission Street,
San Francisco, CA 94110

Face down, azz up, that's the way we like to…well, you know the rest...

Jiggles and Bootyklap are spreading The Party Hole open again May 14th at Sub-mission. This is BootyKlap's birthday month and he would like nothing more than to see a sea of scantly cladded asses on the dance floor! Strap on your favorite booty shorts, hot pants, daisy dukes and twerk your cheeks to some heavy bass from here and there, then and now.

Again we will have sexxxy videos on the big screen for slutty inspiration and sweet treats for tantalizing stimulation.

We can't wait to see y'all sexy muthas turn it out!


GWYA: OMGay! Party Hole is back for another F A B U L O U S Edition! This underground party is said to be one of the HOTTEST SWEATEST dance parties in all of San Francisco! Stiff Drinks. Queer Babes. And some of the best booty bouncing music E V E R !!! So be there <3<3

May Dance Babes

San Francisco is a M E C C A of H O T D A N C E B A B E S ! This month I've decided to honor two Dance Babes that are E X C E P T I O N A L dancing divas with smiles that can melt anyone's I C E C R E A M C O N E ! ! Without further ado this month's D A N C E B A B E S are Rachel and Harris ! !

I had the opportunity and pleasure to interview these dance babes, and here is what they had to say <3

RACHEL NEWMAN

GWYA: What's you sign?
RN: I am a lion. Have you seen my mane lately?

GWYA: Favorite place to eat a burrito?
RA: I know I'm not answering this properly, BUT - on my balcony with a six pack!

GWYA: Are you dating anyone currently?
RN: I am currently a chaste little princess: no dating = zen Rachel.

GWYA: Biggest turn on?
RA: Rejection by love interest, followed by a dizzyingly passionate chase which includes withholding of sexual favors, followed by a sham date which is ultimately the excuse to get it on. Upon completion the cycle must be renewed with a new love interest who understands that rejection is the biggest turn on. Now the answer to the last question may make more sense.

GWYA: What is your favorite song to dance to?
RA: "Cherry Oh Baby" by UB40! Having said that, if you give me a beat, a spliff, and some whiskey I will happily dance my heart out to anything!.

GWYA: If you were on a deserted island and only could bring one thing, what would that one thing be?
RA: FABULOSITY.




HARRIS KORNSTEIN

GWYA: What's your sign?
HK: I'm an Aquarius-Capricorn cusp, though "technically" I tend to fall more towards Aquarius depending on who you ask.

GWYA: Favorite place to eat a burrito?
HK: This is tough, but I think I'll go with El Metate, which is right near my house! I'm a vegetarian so I like the places that have fresh veggies or tofu or something special. I also love Cancún, Papalote, and Mariachi's (though I am devastated that it closed!).


GWYA: Are you dating anyone currently?
HK: No, but applications from babes are strongly encouraged.

GWYA: Biggest turn on?
HK: I'm going for a trifecta: smarts, good politics, and a creative sensibility. Oh, maybe it's a quadrifecta because making me laugh and laughing at my jokes are kind of a must too. Bonus points given for cute looks, but I cast that net widely.


GWYA: What is your favorite song to dance to?
HK: All time: "Crazy in Love," by Beyonce with Jay-Z. When it came out, I had it played every hour on the hour at my birthday party!
Currently: "Emotions" by Mariah Carey, but only because I like to try to hit the high notes.
Hard French: "Rock Me Again and Again" by Lyn Collins. Sexy, fun, and summertime.

GWYA: If you were on a deserted island and only could bring one thing, what would that one thing be?
HK: I'm awful at these questions. A bagel?

FEATURING ARTIST
Macklin Kowal
Chrysalis Hyon with Wolfgang Heinl

* * * * * * * * * *
*Macklin Kowal is a performer and performance maker based in his native San Francisco. His work interrogates the performing body as a site of struggle and negotiation between constraint and freedom, between consciousness and oblivion, between embedded wisdom and perpetual naivete. Central to Kowal’s creative research are synthesis and discord of energy and of presence in communal rituals of recollection, actualization, and projection. Often referencing canonical works of popular culture, his work aims to subvert devices of nostalgia to insist on questions pertinent to the experiences of contemporary queer artists and communities. Kowal has been actively engaged as a dance maker/performer in San Francisco since 2010. His work has been presented by the Home Theater Festival, the Garage’s AIRSpace Residency Program, Zero Performance & THEOFFCENTER’s Too Much! A Queer Performance Marathon, among others. For more information, visit macklinkowal.tumblr.com.

*Chrysalis Hyon with Wolfgang Heinle

Chrysalis bio: After a long hiatus away, Chrysalis has returned to the Bay Area for just over two years, and during her time here has been studying Butoh informally in various venues. She has been performing in small salons and Barebones Butoh showcases since early 2010. Her interest is to explore in particular, distorted and focussed versions of masculine/feminine personas and energies.

Wolfgang, TG, studying Butoh since about 2001 in SF, Berlin and NYC, performing since 2004 with Tamanos, in short solo works at BareBones, and in various collaborations all over.

"Handless Maiden" (inspired by a folk tale with this title) expresses the unconscious pursuit and engagement of distorted masculine power along with the subsequent betrayal and disengagement of the inner feminine. This 12-min piece offers a juxtaposition of "gender sketch personas,' with Chrysalis channeling various masculine personas, and Wolfgang the feminine.

The piece utilises aesthetics and techniques from Butoh along with a visceral music soundscape.

GWYA: Are you looking for some G A Y C U L T U R E ! Ok, maybe your looking for some ArtFags. Go to Million fishes this Sungay and you will find both Gay Culture and ArtFags. Potluck, Hot Art Mos, and Booze! <3<3<3
