We must first congratulate Vicki Marlane, who tops the list this year as Best Drag Queen, who may be the oldest still-performing transsexual performer in the United States, and who heads the lineup of the Hot Boxxx Girls at Aunt Charlie’s Lounge. She’s known by the nickname The Lady with the Liquid Spine, and as we noted before an amazing documentary about her life is going to premiere during Frameline, the SF lesbigaytranny film festival this June.
Also getting a top honor is Vivyanne ForeverMore’s Tiara Sensation at the Stud, which won Best New Gay Club Theme Night. It happens on a Monday, which is typically our one night off from drinking, but hopefully we and some new others will come and check out the DIY drag fest, the highlight of which is always Project Runtover, the live Project Runway show where sloppy queens in 2-hour garments perform once a month.
Congratulations are also due to Kink.com which got Best Public Tour of a Porn Studio, gay State Assemblyman Tom Ammiano who got Best Hometown Politician, Danielle Steel who got Best Celebrity Blogger, The Cinch for Best Gay Bar, tranny bar AsiaSF for Best Fusion Lounge, and our favorite: Best Gay Pride Group went to Gay Shame. Readers’ poll winners include gay painter Joey DeRuy for Best Artist, Charlie Horse for Best Drag Show, and Monistat for Best Drag Queen (who’ll be joining The Sword in Chicago and performing during Grabbys Weekend this weekend).
Ah, what a gay, gay, gay town this is.
