SEXERCISE?!?

I can't believe that Bridget Jones is doing a tribute to the music of Millie Jackson, one of my favorite recording artists of all time! Millie also happens to be the artist formerly known as Girlina's real life aunt! Kenny Mellman (the Herb half of Kiki and Herb) will serve as musical director for the Joe's Pub performance.



If Bridget and Kenny recreate Millie's tunes as faithfully as they do her album cover, this should be nuts! One show left (2/26) with after-party to follow. Sexercise is a tune so rotten that even I covered at the Pyramid in the '80's. Millie's sassy delivery has made her a favorite of drag queens. Who could forget her half-hour medley of IF LOVIN' YOU IS WRONG from the genius album CAUGHT UP, which featured Millie in a spider web?



CAUGHT UP features not only brilliant cover art, but truly stellar brass arrangements, I imagine by the famed Muscle Shoals horn section which played on DUSTY IN MEMPHIS and countless other soul classics. The dramatic stops in this masterpiece DEFINE show biz!

In other drag news, I enjoyed this catty interview between Bianca Del Rio and Shequida Ryzell de la Nuit which is HX's current cover story. An excerpt:



What's your co-host's type?

Bianca: Any man who enjoys a challenge and stubble at 4am after her show.
Shequida: Muscular, sexy and well-hung. She has never had that, but Middle Eastern cab drivers will do.

What's your co-host's most redeeming quality?

Bianca: That she's a historic drag pioneer who has paved the way for many other useless entertainers.
Shequida: Okay, that's a trick question, right?

Which ingredients would go in a cocktail named after your co-host?

Bianca: Schnapps and Dr. Pepper—fizzy with a gross aftertaste, and cheap like her.
Shequida: Vodka, Febreze and smelling salts. You'll need it to recover from her body odor.
