Chickenhawks everywhere loves super-yummy Brent Corrigan, everybody’s favorite twink XXX superstar, who pressed the flesh – that means “a handshake,” not what you’re thinking, despite his vocation, perverts – at Forbidden promoting the DVD release of The Big Gay Musical. Big shot Hollywood producer of the opus, eternal Valley Youth Project, Mich Lyons was on hand, along with the talented promoter Austin Head. Even Curtis Steinhoff and Paul Rottas showed up for the event. Quel surpris! Former Mayor of Tempe, Neil Giuliano presented young Corrigan with the Keys to ... to ... something. And it wasn’t the city, I’m sure. I’m thinking of a room at a Motel 6. Kidding. Just kidding, folks! Probably a Ramada Inn. Kidding again! And the lights go down when Miss Tammie Brown’s in town (pictured with Zachary Cheney). The quirk-o-licious star of the first season of RuPaul’s Drag Race brought her own unique brand of talent to Forbidden and Apollo’s where she performed to SRO crowds with Barbra Seville. An enraptured audience included Jeff Piñales and Mike Soucier of Acacia Café. Word has it that Vintage Modern boutique’s vintage couture coordinator and stylist David Sheflin will be playing Pygmalion and assisting Miss Brown with choice pieces from his vast treasure trove of fine ladies’ accouterment and apparel. After her boffo
appearances at Forbidden and Apollo’s with Barbra Seville, impresario Sheflin will assist in bringing the unsinkable Tammie Brown back into town later this month. The two were seen hashing out details at Switch during brunch with a dozen other drag queens. Speaking of Barbra Seville ... it’s official! ArizonaDrag.com announced that our most valuable commodity is throwing her wig into the Interior Illusions Lounge to compete in the next season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Break a shapely leg, Babs! Flash! A little bird told me that a certain bewigged beauty will be trading in her BeDazzled pageant gowns in for a black and white twopiece cotton/poly blend pant suit – with horizontal stripes, no less. And you know what that does to your figure. And your record. Seems that after writing fraudulent checks for years all over the United States, she discovered exactly how long the long arm of the law is. And it’s really long. You can send her a cake with a file in it. Even if she can’t saw through the bars at least she’ll be able to do her nails while she’s in the pokey. Our Party Penguin of the Month is Nancy Nuñez! She’s everywhere! Not only is she the Karaoke Mistress non pareil at The Rock every Monday and at Bar1 on Tuesdays, she singlehandedly coordinated setting up every stage at Phoenix Pride!
