TRANNYSHACK APPROACHING!

NO, I'M NOT WEARING A BLACK WIG. THAT'S HEKLINA, CREATRESS OF TRANNYSHACK



The Miss Trannyshack pageant, which I'll help judge along with Lady Miss Kier and Alexis Arquette, will take place this Saturday in San Fran. I'm currently in Vancouver shooting a low budget cable show but we've been having a blast with the demented HOUSE oF VENUS crew, Cotton, DJ Dickie Doo, Director Mark Kenneth Woods, photographer Nicholas Jang and Pussy. One tragic skit features me as a belly dancer. And what a belly it is! Don't worry, my navel isn't exposed. But I am cast/typecast as a belly dancer with irritabe bowel syndrome. Don't ask. We also attempted a choreographed-on-the-spot-with-wine "dance" routine which is pictured below.



We were later joined by these adorable drag kings. Just one more glass of wine and I would have allowed the "guy" on the left to have me. I'm not above an occasional mercy fuck. Occasional, you sneer?



Anyhoo, tonight's WIGGLE, Vancouver's own version of WIgstock, then more filming on Friday, and off to Miss Trannyshack on Saturday. Heres an interview publicizing the pageant by Sister Dana Van Iniquity, which appears in the SAN FRANCISCO BAY TIMES.

Go to the Pageant, in the name of Heklina, Lady Bunny and Juanita MORE! Pictured: Heklina.

In case you’ve been living under a sequined, glittered rock, and didn’t realize it, the Miss Trannyshack 2007 Pageant is coming to The Regency Center on Nov.18. So naturally, your reportress had to get an exclusive interview of three of the fiercest drag queens that will be there. I spoke with Co-hostess Heklina, Co-hostess Miss Juanita More, and one of the judges, The Lady Bunny. Here’s the dish!

(Sister Dana) When did you first know you were a drag queen? An actress?

(Heklina) I first knew I was a drag queen when I tried on one of my sister’s skirts when I was 7 years old and it looked better on me than it did on her…I loved the way it twirled! I know I’m an actress every time I bump into you Sister Dana and I act like I’m happy to see you….I should win an Academy Award for that one!

Juanita: Damn, Sister Dana are you really just trying to find out my age? Well, I’ve considered myself a working drag queen for 15 years.

Lady Bunny: Well, in first grade, my school put on a “talent” show. I played a snake charmer, complete with a gold lamé turban, harem pants, and slanted eye make-up, which attempted (sloppily) to mimic my idol, Barbara Eden. Although I traded in the turban for a blonde wig, I’ve charmed quite a few “snakes” since then! I realized that I was an actress as a child. I would act like I didn’t want to be raped.
