And though there is some men’s duds at the FF plus sized gentlemen still have few [...] Photo by Ashley Bedford After interviewing Kendall Clawson about the details of the 2nd annual Q Center Winter Gala, I just had to go check out the event myself. My girlfriend and I scrounged our closet and multiple thrifts stores in efforts to find outfits suitable to wear to a black tie affair. It was a daunting task considering my part of the closet consists mostly of converse and tattered [...] Photo by Ashley Bedford Kendall Clawson, executive director of the Q center, has been referred to as Gay-prah—aka the gay Oprah—by Portland gossip extraordinaire Byron Beck. After meeting her myself in her cozy corner office at the Q, I am compelled to second that notion….to an extent. Without a doubt, she radiates an Oprah-esque charisma, resolve and allure. But the conceitedness and ostentation? It just doesn’t exist in Clawson, whose primary [...] DJ Nolita is leaving us! We all knew that Fruitcake was struggling when it lost its Northeast Portland venue to the lures of medical marijuana, but the final death throes came when founder DJ Nolita announced she was leaving Portland for the wide open sea of San Fran. Not only will she be missed, but so will the insiders night that quickly became a Nopo favorite. Our only consolation? A [...] Please support our brothers and sisters in Haiti! After Pat Robertson degraded himself even further by referring to Haitians as being “cursed” after entering a “pact with the devil” responses are pouring forth in support of Haiti and in opposition to religious wankers like Pat Robertson. Trans Revolution dance party returns to Crush tomorrow Just because you are trying to stick to your New Year’s resolution of not drinking, or at least drinking less, doesn’t mean your social calendar should suffer. We may be experiencing the post-holiday doldrums of grey and rainy January but there is still plenty of queer excitement left in the humid air. This weekend sees at least 3 big events, the 3rd anniversary [...] Stop stealing our stuff please We need your help! Over $3000 worth of gear was stolen from our friend’s car in front of Blow Pony /Rotture. Where you there? Did you see ANYTHING? QPDX.com family member and avid snowboarder Diana Edwards got a nasty shock after leaving BlowPony @ Rotture/Branx last night. QPDX’er Alley had picked up Diana from the airport after a christmas trip to Utah and headed back directly to [...] Nikita Do Jump!’s lesbo-riffic holiday show has always been a queer holiday staple. But this year there is a new kid in town, who promises a slightly edgier fare. Put on by Collective of Geniuses, Homo for the Holidays, a new annual show for all those who feel the isolation of the comsumeristic holiday “season” this Saturday from 6-10pm at Switchyard Studios (109 SE Salmon St). The evening will include brand a [...] Amy Turner and Kathryn Lounsbery of That's What She Said Good looks are great, but nothing’s hotter than a lady that’s both sexy and funny. And while I have not seen the That’s What She Said duo in person the ladies of comedy have been getting rave reviews. (And I’m a sucker for a puffy rainbow jacket) This Saturday at 8pm they take over the Q Center (4115 N Mississippi) to [...] Unfortunately, I am out of town and will be missing most of these fabulous events. It also means that because of their sheer number I cannot preview all that I would like, but each are in the calendar and I want to give you a quick heads up on the ones you absolutely should not miss. Tonight If you don’t already have plans be sure to check out Poison Waters Notorious Noel [...] Newest queer night on the scene, Confession, at Jinx (232 NW 12th Ave) will gather the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence tomorrow and every Wednesday to listen to all your sins. Billing itself as the hippest new joint, which seems appropriate for its Pearl location, 10% of all proceeds go back to the Sisters. Like Our sweet and saucy sister in literature In Other Words, one of that few remaining feminist bookstores in the country, has survived and thrived in Portland for the past 16 years. This Thursday it’s time to celebrate that fact with their Freaky, fancy sweet 16 birthday party. Like |
