A Trip in Exotic India
A Little Nostalgia
No matter what I do in life or where it takes me, I will hold dear the days of my social group The Girls Club. We were out and proud at clubs, restaurants, events, and shows -- in the mainstream, gay and transgender circles -- before it was trending with cross-dressers.
Especially satisfying for me was the fun party atmosphere I helped establish at our one-a-month parties at East of Eighth in NYC. Of those, my favorite was the Moulin Rouge party, closely followed by our Tropical Nights and Halloween 2001.
As a reporter I also had a chance to attend some great events like Invasion of The Pines, Screaming Queens 10th Anniversary Party, and Night of a Thousand Gowns, and review so many great shows.

Trans Rockers
When Tom Gabel of Against Me! came out as transgender and announced his transition to become Laura Jane Grace the press was on fire. But she is not the first trans-rocker.
Once of the first enduring trans-rockers was Jayne County with her debut Man Enough To Be a Woman, Venus Demars of All The Pretty Horses, and from 2000-2003 Lisa Jackson (photo below) was all the rage (all three performed together at the legendary CBGBs in NYC back in 2003 -- see story and photos here).
