White Party 2011: Lightsticks, Charo, And Drugs

whitepartytyumbGay culture is alive and well!

Touted as the one of the largest annual events in the world for gays (and GHB dealers), it’s White Party 2011! This year’s entertainment line-up includes Charo (she should have been the headliner on Saturday), Robyn (fine), gay porn star Brodie Newport doing something at an after party, singers Alexis Jordan (who?) and Wynter Gordon (who?), “dance sensation” Zoe Badwi (who?), “Vampire Diaries” actress and singer Kat Graham (an actress and a singer!?; who?), and Cirque Du Soleil. People aren’t really into Cirque Du Soleil anymore, are they? I take my circuses with clown cars and bearded ladies, not weirdo body contortionists wrapping themselves up in oversized scarves, please. Also, bring some Visine and however much outrage at your lack of civil rights you can muster while coming down off ecstasy because Adam Bouska will be doing one of his NOH8 photo shoots in a hotel, which is perfect for those faggots who like to honor marriage equality and have promiscuous, demoralizing sex all in one weekend. Which photo will be your Facebook profile pic come the Monday after? The one of you with the masking tape over your mouth in a hotel room or the one of you at the NOH8 photo shoot?

Big surprise: I think White Party is stupid. Not because of the bad music or rampant drug abuse or abundance of stereotypical spray-tanned, roided out muscle studs or whoring around in hotel rooms at 6 a.m. with people you don’t know and will never see again (you can do that anywhere, really), but because this is the event that is celebrated and promoted as one of the largest annual events in the world for gays, and I think it sucks to be identified with bad music, rampant drug abuse, spray-tanned muscle studs, and whoring around in hotel rooms with people you don’t know (actually I’m OK with this last part). Or, maybe I’m just jealous that I’m not going?

Have fun, sluts.

Here’s the White Party website, which I’ve been reluctant to link to throughout this post because jesus fucking christ.

  1. Sorry to pull the Hypocrite Card out, but you’ve been served! You glamorize and idolize porn stars and sex workers on this blog, yet rip apart a circuit party? Don’t ALL of the stories you write involve spray-tanned muscle studs who use drugs, whoring around in hotel rooms? So it’s okay if you’re a “performer” getting paid for it, but Tom, Dick, and Harry from the Midwest who escape their boring lives for a weekend of fun and frivolity in Palm Springs should be persecuted for their behavior?

    I’m not defending the circuit scene which admittedly is a soul-destroying, but let’s be honest here…gay boys partying isn’t doing you any harm, aside from feeling inferior and insecure. Maybe if you splashed on some glitter and grabbed a couple glo-sticks you’d be happy like Ke$ha instead of judgy like Judy. :-)

    1. Sorry to pull an Apples & Oranges Card out, but gay porn stars are not glamorized or treated with any dignity in mainstream media. No one pretends that gay porn is anything more than what it is: Gay Porn. The White Party is advertised and promoted as a fun weekend in the desert with dancing and NOH8 photographers and pop stars when in reality it is a drug fueled gay sex orgy. Maybe if they presented themselves more honestly (like the Black Party does) I wouldn’t have a problem. Don’t try to be something that you’re not.

  2. “Which photo will be your Facebook profile pic come the Monday after? The one of you with the masking tape over your mouth in a hotel room or the one of you at the NOH8 photo shoot?”

    Christ. You really took the claws out for this one.
