Remember Gourmet magazine? Where you could reliably turn to find some gorgeous photo spread of beautiful people enjoying a perfect summer lunch at someone's family manse at Lake Como, or in a rustic-chic cabin along the bank of a Vermont river? Those were the glory days. more ›

Knowing that Bambuddha Lounge was closing (you've heard, right?), drag queen and party promoter Juanita MORE! had to find another place for gays of all stripes to congregate after the Sunday Gay Pride festivities on June 27th this year. "It had to be someplace with great outdoor space," Juanita tells SFist, and for her now famous post-Pride party she finally settled on Kelly's Mission Rock Café, a space better known to the heteros about town. "There's floor to ceiling windows upstairs looking out over the entire Bay, so if it's the tiniest bit chilly it's still going to feel like you're outdoors but you can stay warm." more ›

Juanita talks about her first performance in San Francisco at Lily's (where Martuni's is now), about how she got her drag name, and about her drag idol, Divine. more ›

We need to come up with a new word to describe the tasteless, fabulous, trashy, glamorous style of the Tenderloin. It's not just a slummy neighborhood; it's a slummy neighborhood with a can-do spirit and discerning palette. And one of its heroines is Tenderloinish drag star Juanita More, who, along with three hot Moreboys and the adorable Mike Albo, performed for an adoring crowd at The LGBT Center on Tuesday night. The evening, the last of the Queer Cultural Center's series of Trash Talkin' Tuesdays, started strong with Juanita's Moreboys reading harlequin-style smut, moved on to a dazzling song and dance by The Lady Herself, and then finished with a gut-busting performance/reading by Mike Albo from his new book, . By the end of the night, the audience could barely breathe though their laughter -- aren't you sorry you missed it? Lucky thing Mike's going to be performing again, tonight, at 7pm at A Clean Well-Lighted Place For Books. If you don't go, we can't be friends anymore. more ›

What happens to weird frantic kids with ADD when they grow up? If they're lucky enough to become frisky homos, they get themselves a zine: Based in SF, NYC, and Montréal, Scum Bag Fag Mag is an attention-deficit-disordered collage of ephemera, errata, and plenty of dicks. Each issue has a theme, but continuity is minimal; the hasty-looking assemblage of clip art, stickers, snapshots, and hand-scrawled notes would be utterly non sequitur, if there was ever a sequitur in the first place. more ›
