No particular skillset needed – you don’t have to be a “dancer” to join, but you do get to work with some talented (Katrina) and [...]

Homomentum's Gaycademy Awards

We can be disappointed by the real Academy Awards but Portland is great at making shunning the mainstream in favor of our own winners. Homomentum’s Gaycademy Awards will be just such a show.

We have all been enthralled by the last five boldly themed shows and Saturday should be no different with a double dose of surprise out of town guests Jukie Sunshine and Alysia Angel as well as Felice Shays [...]

Airport security will never be the same

The holiday season brought us a special Homomentum performance featuring the cold and snappy celebration of all things queer and seasonal. And you can catch just a glimpse of the white winter wonder with our Snowpocalypse photo gallery.

'Fame Monster' album covers

Friend of qPDX Katey Pants had some great insights to offer on Lady Gaga’s new album Fame Monster and she so graciously allowed us to share them here. Obviously, I’m already smitten with the new music video for Bad Romance but what do you think of the new release?

KO & Co. gets bent with “ExpecTUtion”

KO & Co.’s newest project, “ExpecTUtion,” tackles expectation and adaptability in a piece that literally queers the stage by turning it into a three dimensional landscape, complete with hills and valleys.

With a design that looks more skate park than dance floor, the plywood construction becomes a microcosm of the human experience, filled with unexpected twists and turns. The stage is a 20-piece puzzle designed by Carly Boynton and [...]

Homomentum reaches stage 2 this Saturday with Timewarp Talent show

Homomentum's Timewarp Talent show this Saturday

Last month’s inaugural Homomentum installment was  a freaky success and this sophomore expedition into our past this Saturday should be just as enjoyable. I can’t wait to see some mall hair, and stiff high bangs when the folks from Pants Off Productions bring on the Timewarp Talent Show.

This month’s performance pleasures include burlesque from Jodi Bon Jodi and Venus Envy, hip hop dance from [...]

But this weekend the energetic newcomer will be taking over the E Room (3701 SE Division) at 8pm with Rose City RagBag, a celebration of her solo work. Featuring live painting, raffles and various [...]

Saying Goodbye to Kick/Ball/Change

Catitude at the last Kick/Ball/Change

This Sunday saw the final installment of the queer dance extravaganza, Kick/Ball/Change. The performance, which included regulars such as Untrained, I, Catitude, and Beefcake Burlesque, also featured newcomers Under the Radar and a sexy solo by Carlee Smith. And though there were moments of hilarity and fabulousness, the performance was also tinged with sadness. And now we must be in mourning.

Homo’s Got Talent and we have the pictures to prove it

Homo's Got Talent winner achieved the spot with sweet snacks to the tune of "Do I Look Like a Slut?"

I’m still digesting the full brunt of last night’s amazing Homo’s Got Talent dance-off competition so a review is forthcoming.

However, I can tease all of you who weren’t there and provide happy memories to those of you who were with a plethora of titillating talented homo photos.

You know a performance [...]

Homo’s Got Talent

We all know Oregon queers have got it going on, but we also have a sense of humor. So this Saturday will see us putting our hip swaying to the test with a spoof of reality television dance shows.

Homo’s Got Talent, perfectly situated in the E Room’s dark tomb (3701 SE Division), gives local performers a chance to compete to win prizes from local businesses as well as the prestigious [...]
