Way, way more Lou Weed photos here!  Last month marked the 2 year anniversary of me performing drag with The Rebel Kings  at The White Horse . It's crazy to think that much time has gone by. It sounds cliche, but it does feel like yesterday. I still get excited and nervous every time before I perform...maybe that's why it still feels new.

Every time I am at a Gay Bar, club or event the only music I ever hear is beat heavy techno. It always stands out in a kind of offensive way to my ears. I just don't get that kind of music, simply put. Within the LGBT community, it's everywhere. There's a stereotype about that, but it's also kinda true. You'd be hard pressed to enter a gay bar in the Castro San Francisco without there being blaring electronic music. I even wrote a blog about a remix I heard there, really really loudly.  Being openly transgender, third-gendered, what have you, I feel comfortable making these observations. For the past almost 2 years I have been performing regularly in a drag troop called " The...
