WILL CLARK I'VIEWS BUNION

Will had some great questions for his popular blog. An example:

7. So you've just met a nice guy you're dating. How and when does proper etiquette dictate you come out to him about your drag persona?



I really wouldn't date anyone who I thought might have a problem with my occupation. I'm more of a sex date type than relationship-oriented anyway. I typically introduce myself as Bunny and my apartment is crammed full of wigs, gowns and jewelry so it's not a big secret! I do know gay men who tell me that their boyfriends only allow them to do drag on Hallowe'en or Night of A Thousand Gowns. I guess relationships are about compromise--which is probably why I don't have one. But I would never want anyone who didn't like the real me. No man is worth hiding your true self for. I am going to spend a lot of time on the phone saying things like "Is my wig ready?" so if overhearing that turns you off, see ya!

FULL INTERVIEW:

FROM MOVEON.ORG

THINK YOU'RE POWERLESS AGAINST BIG BANKS AND THE POLITICIANS THEY BUY OFF? WRONG! TAKE AWAY YOUR $ AND REDUCE THEIR POWER INSTANTLY! CURRENTLY, WE'RE GIVING THEM THE POWER WHILE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEM.



The big Wall Street banks crashed our economy, refused to clean up the mess, and still haven't been held accountable.

Now the Occupy movement has inspired people everywhere to take action in protest and a lot of us have realized there's something we can do to fight back: close our accounts and move our money out of the big Wall Street banks and into community banks and credit unions.

This week, in the lead-up to the November 5 Make Wall Street Pay day of action targeting the giant banks, we've set up a new "Move Your Money Pledge." Our goal is to get as many people as possible pledging to close their accounts with the big banks.

Are you ready to show the Wall Street banks that we're going to hold them accountable ourselves? If you're ready to stop banking with Wall Street—or if you already have—click here to sign the Move Your Money pledge:

Yes, I want to sign the Move Your Money pledge.

By signing the pledge you'll be able to turn your private choice as a bank customer into a powerful public display of outrage and protest by joining tens of thousands of others who are ready to switch banks and close accounts.

We have resources available to help you find a new bank and a guide for how to go through the process of closing an account. Whether it's a spare credit card, a savings account, or your personal checking, every account counts.

If we can get a huge number of accounts closed at the major banks we'll certainly impact their bottom line, but we'll also do something even more powerful—we'll send them a very clear message that the public's outrage is only growing stronger and that we're not going to let them off the hook for the damage they've done to our economy.

The acclaimed Martha@... The 1963 Interview returns for encore performances after a sold-out run last season. The production is a metatheatrical recreation of the legendary 92nd Street Y interview with Martha Graham and dance critic Walter Terry. Based on the recently discovered audio recording, the interview reveals Graham's iconic persona with intimate reflections on her unparalleled life and career. Martha@... The 1963 Interview features Richard Move as Graham, Tony Award-nominated actress/playwright Lisa Kron as Terry and Move's illustrious, longtime collaborators, Graham Company Principal dancer Katherine Crockett and former Graham Company member Catherine Cabeen, with a new-media scenic design by Gabriel Barcia-Colombo.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT...

You know, these giant corporations which have bought our government and news--both parties--wouldn't be as giant and powerful if we weren't paying them everyday. Most of them donate heavily to GOP candidates because they know that republicans will preserve their enormous tax breaks and no-bid contracts. But $ talks. I recently switched my cell provider to Credo and my land line service to Vonage from Verizon, which gives a ton to right-wing causes. You do what you want. But there is a way to knock these giants down to size if we act together. Switching from big banks to credit unions. Not staying at Mormon-run Marriott hotels which funded Prop 8 in CA. I'd love to get a page together which says who donates to who. It's a question of what you're prepared to give up for the greater good. Are you prepared to give up your iPhone because right-wing AT & T is the provider? If I found out that my fav wig, stocking or lash manufacturer backed Rick Perry, what would I do. But we can start...

NEW SONG FROM FRED SCHNEIDER'S OTHER GROUP!

IF YOU DON'T SEE ENOUGH BAD DRAG TONIGHT...

COME SEE MY SHOW AT ESCUELITA TOMORROW NIGHT!

"MOMMY! MOMMY! THAT CLOWN IN A WIG IS SCARING ME!:




LADY BUNNY in THAT AIN'T NO LADY!
La Nueva Escuelita
New York City, NY

The raunchy, demented drag diva of Wigstock fame presents her first full-length one wo-man show in almost a decade at the popular latin nightspot La Escuelita every Tuesday in October ad Novemeber at 8PM. Fast-paced and action-packed with glitzy costumes and Bunny's trademark gravity-defying bouffant wig, THAT AIN'T NO LADY is a cabaret designed for a night club crowd--no lengthy monologues or sappy show tunes here. For mature audiences who enjoy irreverent humor!



Though she just finished her second season of RUPAUL'S DRAG U on LOGO as the Dean Of Drag giving contestants "Lady Lessons", Bunny's deliciously bawdy brand humor is far from ladylike. Bunny re-works pop songs into hysterical parodies, using recent smashes like Ke$ha's TIK TOK (which Bunny transforms into BIG COCK) to classics like ALL THAT JIZZ. No musical genre is sacred so expect to hear from everyone from Katy Perry to Taio Cruz to Britney and Whitney. Sprinkle in zany Laugh-In style joke routines for added politically incorrect fun.

The wacky blonde will also re-create some of her hit youtube videos, including her rap debut with a parody of Like A G6--the ode to uncircumcised men entitled Like A Cheese Stick, which was featured on Perez Hilton and Dlisted. Finally, a tribute to recently departed musical giant Amy Winehouse. And just wait until you get a load of Bunny as the monstrous "Scare" in a wicked spoof of Cher in BURLESQUE.

With a ticket price of $14.98 that's as cheap as her humor and a recession-friendly 1 drink minimum, THAT AIN'T NO LADY provides over an hour of laughs for a decidedly affordable price. However, since Bunny's singing has been known to drive audiences to drink, there is a strictly-enforced 25 drink maximum. And this show re-introduces a quintessentially NYC venue with a great stage and atmosphere while bringing some much-needed trash back to the increasingly Disney-fied Times Square area. After the show, boogie to soulful, vocal house to satisfy everyone's gripe that they hate today's dance music. So expect to hear dance classics like Deee-Lite, Crystal Waters, Whitney Houston and absolutely no Rihanna, Ke$ha, Gaga, Katy Perry or Britney. For 1 hour after the show, 2-4-1 drinks will be offered.

FRACKING IN THE WEST VILLAGE? NO!

I've lived in the West Village for over a decade and it's become increasingly glitzy. A nabe which once housed artists, poets, hairdressers, etc. is now home for the Olsen Twins, Cameron Diaz, SJP, etc. I'm not complaining about my ritzy neighbors. I'm complaining that our greed for oil, which even Texas oilman Bush admitted we were addicted to, is even causing us to shit on the wealthy like the stars mentioned above. And they don't publicize these proposals until it's too late to do much about it. The fracking will go right under the West Village and if they get their way, they can force you to move. Not to mention that one fracking operation just blew up upstate. After BP in the Gulf, are you really expecting responsibility from big oil? Please sign to stop this! It's dangerous anywhere.

FROM MOVEON.ORG:

Bill A07400 proposed by Assemblyman Robert Sweeney, Chair of the Environmental Conservation Committee, calls to suspend hydraulic fracturing in New York State. It passed in the Assembly, however the Senate has not yet acted on this legislation. We are opposed to hydrofracking due to long term irreversible adverse environmental and health impacts, and are asking our Senate leaders to take a stand and oppose permitting until more studies are completed.

So I signed a petition to The New York State Senate and Governor Andrew Cuomo, which says:

"We are citizens of NYS who oppose high volume horizontal hydrofracking. We request our Senate leaders act urgently to support Bill A07400 to suspend hydrofracking and bring this bill to the floor for vote."

GROANER OF THE DECADE!

Two brooms were hanging in the closet and
after a while they got to know each other so
well, they decided to get married.

One broom was, of course, the bride broom,
the other the groom broom.

The bride broom looked very beautiful in her
white dress. The groom broom was handsome
and suave in his tuxedo. The wedding was
lovely.

After the wedding, at the wedding dinner, the
bride-broom leaned over and said to the groom-broom, 'I think I am going to have a little whisk broom!'


'IMPOSSIBLE !' said the groom broom.

TALK ABOUT "TOE UP"!

WAKE UP!



I spoke to a friend in LA yesterday is who is a not very politically active gay who works in television. So while I wouldn't expect him to be up to date on issues, I was truly shocked when he mentioned the Occupy Wall Street movement in NYC and said that it sounded frightening. Frightening?" I said. "I think it's great that we are waking up to what's really going on and finding our voices and taking it to the streets." "But aren't you in any danger?", he asked. "Why would I be? I'm not a banker who rips people off." (I'm a performer who rips people off.) I was kinda shocked to hear someone fairly young and with it buy into reports that the Occupy Wall Street protesters are scary anarchists. They're everyday people who are sick of a system which is set up to rip them off. Here's an article from Rolling Stone by the great Matt Taibbi.


Why Isn't Wall Street in Jail? by Matt Taibbi

Financial crooks brought down the world's economy — but the feds are doing more to protect them than to prosecute them

Nobody goes to jail. This is the mantra of the financial-crisis era, one that saw virtually every major bank and financial company on Wall Street embroiled in obscene criminal scandals that impoverished millions and collectively destroyed hundreds of billions, in fact, trillions of dollars of the world's wealth — and nobody went to jail. Nobody, that is, except Bernie Madoff, a flamboyant and pathological celebrity con artist, whose victims happened to be other rich and famous people.

The rest of them, all of them, got off. Not a single executive who ran the companies that cooked up and cashed in on the phony financial boom — an industrywide scam that involved the mass sale of mismarked, fraudulent mortgage-backed securities — has ever been convicted. Their names by now are familiar to even the most casual Middle American news consumer: companies like AIG, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America and Morgan Stanley. Most of these firms were directly involved in elaborate fraud and theft. Lehman Brothers hid billions in loans from its investors. Bank of America lied about billions in bonuses. Goldman Sachs failed to tell clients how it put together the born-to-lose toxic mortgage deals it was selling. What's more, many of these companies had corporate chieftains whose actions cost investors billions — from AIG derivatives chief Joe Cassano, who assured investors they would not lose even "one dollar" just months before his unit imploded, to the $263 million in compensation that former Lehman chief Dick "The Gorilla" Fuld conveniently failed to disclose. Yet not one of them has faced time behind bars.

INSANE!



GAYS! Help women! We're all in this right-wing assault on our rights together. Republicans got voted back in in the lat mid-terms promising to focus on jobs. Instead they've focused on turning back the clock on abortion rights. STOP THEM!

We are at another critical moment in the fight for reproductive freedom.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will be making a decision soon that would determine whether millions of women would be able to purchase private health insurance plans that cover abortion services.

Without the option to buy coverage that includes comprehensive reproductive health care, millions of additional women will be unable to afford access to abortion services — and as it becomes financially impossible for women to have access to abortions, clinics will be forced to close their doors.

Before HHS makes a decision, it is holding a public comment period to take input on this issue. But, there are only three days left before HHS closes the public comment period.

BUN-BUN CHATS WITH HUFFPO AND FEAST OF FUN

JOHN SANCHEZ FOR HUFFPO:

And this month, New Yorkers are celebrating as Bunny makes her first local cabaret appearance in more than a decade, presenting "That Ain't No Lady" every Tuesday through November at Escuelita. The outrageous evening is beyond vulgar, in Bunny's time-honored way, and pits a new Peggy Lee cover and a devastating "tribute" to Amy Winehouse against classic Bunny numbers such as her extraordinary rendition of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" and her gut-busting medley of song parodies, which has evolved over the years but always concludes with Bunny channeling Whitney Houston, flicking at a crack pipe with a faulty lighter while pitifully crooning "I will always smoke you."

A STAR IS BORN!

I'M SO SICK OF FAKE DEMOCRATS!

LETTING WOMEN DIE BECAUSE THEY NEED AN ABORTION AS A LIFE-SAVING OPERATION? You'd expect that from the crazier republicans, but 3 "democrats" voted to let women die? Sign this petition to make sure that the Nationl Democratic Party gives these 3 republicrats no more $--you can best believe that they won't be voting the right way on any other issues either.

Stop the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee from using pro-choice donations to support anti-choice candidates

On Thursday, the House of Representatives voted to let women die by passing a bill that would make it legal for hospitals to refuse to perform a life-saving abortion on a woman as an emergency procedure.

In response to that vote, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) sent out a fundraising email asking supporters to donate to help protect the health of women.

But three out of fifteen of the DCCC's top candidates who would receive that money voted to let women die.1

Tell the DCCC: You can't have it both ways. Either stop fundraising off attacks on women's health or stop fundraising for anti-choice Democrats who vote to let women die.

It is shameful that the DCCC is using these horrible attacks on women's lives as a chance to fill their own coffers with the money of supporters who are genuinely angry about the war extremists in Congress are waging against women.

Not only is it hypocritical for the DCCC not to mention that the money raised for their women's health fund will be going directly to three anti-choice candidates, but it is simply wrong that they are funding candidates who are so anti-choice that they voted for a bill that would let women die in a hospital without any intervention.

The DCCC's two-faced messaging must stop. If they care about protecting women's health, then they need to stop funding extreme anti-choice candidates--and if they want to fund those anti-woman candidates, then they need to stop running fundraising campaigns that use attacks on women's health to solicit contributions from pro-choice activists.

Tell the DCCC: You can't have it both ways. Either stop fundraising off attacks on women's health or stop fundraising for anti-choice Democrats who want to let women die.

And if you have dj gear, drag gear, etc and think you're gonna sneak by them, good luck to you. MAKE the venue over there arrange your visa or don't go. They even sent RuPaul and Amanda home! You can risk it and go as a tourist, but now the customs agents have google. So if you are well known for your UK engagement to be advertised, all they have to do is google "Lady Bunny" and London and your gig will come up. Chance it at your risk. And whatever you do, don't try to feel fancy and work an arrival look to trendy London because you're feeling fab and international. Chances are, the agents will hate it and it will arouse suspicion.

"But in Europe, Britain stands out for the strictness of its policies and the apparent inconsistencies in the way it enforces them.

In 2008 the government, under political pressure to curtail non-European immigration, introduced a tough points-based visa system. Artists and performers applying for temporary worker status now have to prove, among other things, that they have the equivalent of £800 (about $1,250) in a bank and that it has been there for 90 consecutive days; pay nonrefundable application fees of hundreds of pounds; and find established arts organizations that can pay additional hefty fees, sponsor them and take responsibility for them while they are in Britain."

Interview: Lady Bunny comes to Providence, discusses Occupy Wall Street
By John Stephen Dwyer




PROVIDENCE — Lady Bunny, “Dean of Drag” on the Logo TV show “RuPaul’s Drag U,” has been a household name in the gay community for a long time. She’s a veteran performer who came out of the Deep South, helped start the annual NYC outdoor drag festival called “Wigstock,” recorded some songs and appeared in a few movies.

She appears Sunday at Downcity in Providence and spoke to Blast about performing, television and politics.

BLAST: How has basic cable changed your life?

LADY BUNNY: TV is great exposure, so having a regular role as the Dean Of Drag on RuPaul’s Drag U has been like handing the nation my business card. I’ve even had teen boys who want to be drag queens sending me naughty pics of themselves. The funny thing is that Drag U caught on much more with real women and kids. Gays prefer Drag Race because it’s bitchier. Drag U is actually kind of sweet. My appearance on Comedy Central’s Pamela Anderson Roast was very brief, but I don’t mind having a bit part on the top rated comedy special ever. One thing you learn about TV is that it makes no difference whether you’re on time, polite to everyone, totally rehearsed or winging it. The only thing that matters are those moments that the camera captures. That’s all the audience will see – they will never know about the backstage drama or who was drunk or difficult. I’d like to do more TV. I never cared for reality TV – until I was on it.

BLAST: Next weekend, you’re in Providence?

IF YOU WATCH 1 VIDEO TODAY...MAKE IT THIS!

BRAVO, SGT. SHAMAR THOMAS!



Interspersed with clips of Obama and Hillary saying how important it is that governments in Libya and other countries to respect their citizens' calls for justice and basic human rights, they show people on Wall Street being being and taken for jail for exercising freedom of expression. I wonder why Obama and Hillary aren't interested in protecting the rights of people in their own country? Maybe because the protesters are crying out against their bosses, Wall Street?

GIVE THESE GIRLS A SHOW!

Joey was gorgeous and I know of few performers around today who can sing and dance like this. She's really too much. And I love how Jerry complains about having no time--while rambling!

THE ABSOLUTE DEATH OF DANCE MUSIC

First Ke$ha says the boys are lining up cuz they know she's got swagger, but she kicks 'em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger. Then comes Moves Like Jagger, which isn't a bad song. But this garbage by Cher Lloyd is unforgivable. How do you say dee-readful?



But this might actually be worse! Rap "artists" killing dance music. And they probably don't even like dance music but it sells in an international market. SKUNK!

OBAMA COZYING UP WITH THE KOCH BROTHERS?

THE FUCKS WHO FOUNDED THE TEA PARTY? Apparently he doesn't think we are paying attention.



Subject: Tell Obama: Stop The Pipeline

Dear Friend,

Have you heard about the Keystone XL pipeline? It’s a massive Big Oil project that would carry crude oil from Canadian tar sands, across the United States, and into the global marketplace – all while spewing enough carbon into the air to make it impossible to deal with future climate change.
That’s right – it will ruin our children’s future, while providing zero benefit to the American economy. President Obama can veto the pipeline by himself – but groups like DeSmogBlog, Oil Change International, The Other 98% and Friends of the Earth investigated the cozy relationships between key State Department officials and corporate lobbyists for the pipeline, and they lead all the way to the president’s doorstep.

President Obama made a campaign promise to shut out oil lobbyists, yet the State Department’s blatant bias toward approving the Keystone XL pipeline is a clear example of oil influence over our democracy.
ENOUGH. It’s not too late for the president to do the right thing. – join me in urging President Obama to take action now:

Then, please send it to your friends and family. I know I can trust you to do the right thing. Thanks.

VOCAL WARM-UPS ARE ESSENTIAL!

EVEN WHEN LIP-SYNCHING! Me and the boys of Escuelita during the opening night of That Ain't No Lady! (photo by Jeff Eason for wilsonmodels)



LADY BUNNY in THAT AIN'T NO LADY!
La Nueva Escuelita
New York City, NY

The raunchy, demented drag diva of Wigstock fame presents her first full-length one wo-man show in almost a decade at the popular latin nightspot La Escuelita every Tuesday in October at 8PM. Fast-paced and action-packed with glitzy costumes and Bunny's trademark gravity-defying bouffant wig, THAT AIN'T NO LADY is a cabaret designed for a night club crowd--no lengthy monologues or sappy show tunes here. For mature audiences who enjoy irreverent humor!

Though she just finished her second season of RUPAUL'S DRAG U on LOGO as the Dean Of Drag giving contestants "Lady Lessons", Bunny's deliciously bawdy brand humor is far from ladylike. Bunny re-works pop songs into hysterical parodies, using recent smashes like Ke$ha's TIK TOK (which Bunny transforms into BIG COCK) to classics like ALL THAT JIZZ. No musical genre is sacred so expect to hear from everyone from Katy Perry to Taio Cruz to Britney and Whitney. Sprinkle in zany Laugh-In style joke routines for added politically incorrect fun.

The wacky blonde will also re-create some of her hit youtube videos, including her rap debut with a parody of Like A G6--the ode to uncircumcised men entitled Like A Cheese Stick, which was featured on Perez Hilton and Dlisted. Finally, a tribute to recently departed musical giant Amy Winehouse. And just wait until you get a load of Bunny as the monstrous "Scare" in a wicked spoof of Cher in BURLESQUE.

With a ticket price of $14.98 that's as cheap as her humor and a recession-friendly 1 drink minimum, THAT AIN'T NO LADY provides over an hour of laughs for a decidedly affordable price. However, since Bunny's singing has been known to drive audiences to drink, there is a strictly-enforced 25 drink maximum. And this show re-introduces a quintessentially NYC venue with a great stage and atmosphere while bringing some much-needed trash back to the increasingly Disney-fied Times Square area. After the show, boogie to soulful, vocal house to satisfy everyone's gripe that they hate today's dance music. So expect to hear dance classics like Deee-Lite, Crystal Waters, Whitney Houston and absolutely no Rihanna, Ke$ha, Gaga, Katy Perry or Britney. For 1 hour after the show, 2-4-1 drinks will be offered.

PLEASE NOTE: Online ticket sales end 2 hours before showtime--ie 6PM. No credit cards are accepted at the door-- Cash payments for admission only. Credit cards are accepted for drink purchases.

FROM ROOTSACTION.ORG:

This morning, Occupy Wall Street protesters celebrated when New York authorities beat a last-minute retreat from clearing Liberty Plaza – as hundreds of labor and other activists rushed to defend the square.

But at the same time this morning, dozens of state troopers in riot gear cleared out Occupy Denver protests. In cities across the country, Occupy protesters have faced police violence and arrests. Some occupations have been forcibly removed while others have stood their ground successfully.

The authorities say we don’t have the proper permits to occupy public spaces. Our permit to occupy is The First Amendment.

ODD!



This is really odd! Not important at all, but how do you get your hair blown out gorgeously and then have filthy hands and dirty teeth? Maybe she changed a tire?

TRAVEL TIPS FROM BUNION!

Traveling as much as I do and at my advanced age, it's hard to stay regular in different time zones with sometimes only processed foods to eat and no fiber. And since I'm dieting, my old fool-proof trick of eat-until-you-crap is no longer an option. And I forgot to bring fiber supplements to Brazil. But I found a way to guarantee you get extra roughage--don't chew your food at all! The big chunks will clean you right out in a jiffy. YOU ARE VERY WELCOME!

ROTTEN RUSH!



I gotta say, I'm a little shocked that Rush ACTUALLY called the Wall Street protesters bored trust fund kids? But I guess Rush's goal was to get us talking about him and we are. Saying how incredibly off he is!

A BLAST FROM THE PAST!

Rupaul, Lahoma Van Zandt and had recently moved from Atlanta to NYC and we really thought we had made it when we were asked to model couture fashions by Bodymap. I've been dear friends with the designer, Stevie Stewart and David Holh--who can also be seen modelling in drag as Lolo Hola--ever since.

LESS GOV'T SPENDING?

All over country, broke local and state gov'ts have been forced to slash funds for schools, police, etc. Kansas has a very conservative governor and tomorrow the state will vote on whether the state can continue to afford to prosecute domestic violence. Which means women aren't safe from domestic abuse--it will still be illegal but will go unpunished. What a perfect GOP agenda--let's make it ok to beat on women again. Cave man stuff. O'Donnell calls these budget cuts as causing us to lose "basic elements of a civilized society." The lady he interviews looks VERY worried.

So Republicans want smaller gov't unless it's military spending or legislating women's reproductive organs.

FROM MSNBC: Romney calls for more military spending By R.J. Fried

Today, Willard M. Romney called for increased military spending on Navy shipbuilding and missile defense in a 23-minute foreign policy speech at the Citadel military academy in South Carolina. Romney offered zero criticism of American foreign policy under President George W. Bush and relentless criticism of foreign policy under President Obama.
