Hello readers! This month I decided that it was time to see what other cities had to offer for gay patrons and traveler’s. Ya know that New York and San Francisco is always on everyone’s list but there are some other cities in the U.S. that you’d be surprised by with the gay population.

Also we had another State join our fight for marriage equality and I want to take a minute and congratulate New Mexico for giving marriage license to same-sex couples across the board. This is a big moment and the world is watching! What an amazing time in history to be living in. Thirty years ago we as GLBTQ were listed as a mental disorder in the medical books. Today, we are not only able to marry in some states, but we are now getting health benefits and able to adopt and live our lives in ways noone thought we could. There is still alot of fighting to happen and we aren’t where we should be, but take note that you are a part of history as it happens and when people look back to this time in thiry years, you all are a part of it.

ASK XXANDAR Dear XXandar, I have a new roommate who is constantly jerking off in his bedroom.

That’s not the issue. The issue is that he’s extremely loud and it’s making me uncomfortable. How do I approach him about being quieter or calming that shit down?

Signed, Ears shattered Dear Shattered, Tell him to shut the fuck up! Knock on your wall when you hear it or turn your television up louder than him to make him get the point. If he doesn’t want to get the picture, leave him a note telling him to knock off the noise or your going to join in his fun next time.

Who knows, maybe he’s wanting you to hear it for a reason?

Xxandar Dear XXandar, I haven’t drank in over a year and recently went to the club and can’t remember how I got home. Do you think I should go to AA Classes?

Drunk Blinders Dear Blinders, Get your ass back in the bar and man up. AA Classes are for alcoholics and a one time black out doesn’t render the need for you to attend anything. If you feel the need not to do it again, then don’t drink more than you can handle.

Ask Xxandar will be here monthly but can also be found on our Facebook page, Ask Xxandar!

gayest city isn’t exactly country, but you’d never know by visiting the Trapp, a welcoming, wood-paneled bar that serves cocktails in jam jars. Though many clubs are very quiet during the week, on the weekends the college crowd and queers from all over the metropolitan area descend on Jam and Paper Moon. Sugar House is a gay-friendly hood, and the Tower Theatre has long been an LGBT meeting spot and cultural touchstone.

Though the whole city is gay-friendly, Capitol Hill is the epicenter of LGBT life, and it features lots of small and large clubs (for men and women), B&Bs, and great dining, both high-end and low. While heteros can feel comfy in most modern gay bars, the delightfully small, speedy dive bar Pony is just for the gay guys.

How to keep you Junk in the trunk!!!

by Star Kirkland

Camel Toe! Camel Toe! Oh My! You got your costume out. It is looking fierce. You check your tuck to make sure your camel toe does show let alone happen. You are good to go.

You start performing and the junk in the trunk falls out. And guess what, CAMEL TOE!!!! Said part is you feel the tuck fall out. Doesn’t that piss you off? The worse is when the pictures show the camel toe. Shit happens but you keep trucking along and you start checking you tuck more frequently.

There are a couple techniques that work for people.

For the one who want to experience the full version or drag, gaff panties is the way to go. You can use gaff panties that securely tuck away the junk in the trunk. They say it is kind of like a jock strap/ thong that has some adjustable straps to secure that tuck.

I personally can’t wear one of those because my but is so big that a thong is so uncomfortable.

Some buy men’s underwear that is one size too small. Not the boxer or boxer briefs. That makes you wear a diaper.

Bikinis, briefs, thongs, whatever makes the person happy. The tightness of the smaller underwear makes it easier to tuck the penis back to the balls. When the layers of the tights and the undergarments come on, and most of the time the tuck will disappear and it looks an illusion of a woman.

Adjustments are always made during the preparation.

Duct Tape. Some girls use the duct tape to secure and pull the junk back.

Some queens wear minimal costumes and limit the usage if underwear.

Kudos to the queens who use duct tape. Plus it makes a great bikini wax in the end. If you go that route please make sure you landscape down there.

Some of us are a bit on the harry side to where we cannot do that. Others can be well in doubt to where it might take a whole roll of duct tape to tuck that junk away.

Others who do “camp drag” keep that junk out and free flowing like a naked hippie during a wind storm.

And others use their normal underwear to keep that level of manliness. Kudos to those girls who can make that happen.

I am sure that there more techniques out there who can keep that tuck happy and womanly. There is also more options out there in the world that people do in order to keep the female illusion. Which one works for you? Which tucked technique keeps you somewhat comfortable? The world would never know. Just find a way that makes that tuck or yours work so the illusion is sexy and real.

You can find something like this on Ebay very inexpensively.

Please for the love of GOD!!! DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!!!

Underneath this performers stocking a boys pair of boxers fell out of place and down they slid underneath her hose. YES CHIRRENS!!! WHILE PERFORMING! That’s not shadow, those are blue or black boxer briefs under that queen’s hosiery. So, before you go on stage, make sure that what your wearing is in place and won’t ride up or down your clothes! Cause this is not cute!!!!

Internet Lives

Xxandar of Ask Xxandar, started if off last month in his article about how people act on Facebook, so this month I am extending it a bit more, How people act on the Web, Not just Facebook but all sites!

The personal life of everyone on any site from friendship to dating to hook ups, is a mystery in itself, Now I do not have any documentation that gives percentages, I am going to leave that up to you to say, either you notice this or your one of them. The ones that feel it is to create a whole new persona, what is it that they are hiding from or cannot be themselves, is it society, that makes them need to hide.

There daily lives and what they project to society every day, is a hectic life, on the web and hiding their words and true self, they can be what ever they want to, something fun and mysterious, connect to people in a way that they have always dreamed of being an alter ego. They can live a life that gets them away from the everyday.

There are people that are true to life as they are in real life, they just want to connect to others. Then, You have the ones that fib a little, just a white lie, about having a great time out with others or they had a trick, but in reality they are sitting home alone and bored, trying to make themselves better than they are, but are genuine happy about their life.

Then there are the ones that feel the need to exaggerate everything because they have no life and are not happy, so this whole story of lies about who they are, what a grand exciting life they live becomes reality on the web only and not in real life for them. Then you have the ones, that a complete alter ego is hatched to the fullest. They have created this life like no other, that has nothing to do with their true life.

The master of their live, ok on the web!

Story By: Morgan Craig

These are the ones I seem to find, lies after lies and no matter how sweet the are, it is all lies, if you cannot put your true picture on the web and show yourself then I for one, cannot believe you at all. But, I do play along, stroke their ego’s because they are probably hurting in the real life. Then You find someone that is totally out there, exciting but yet they are true, they have no problem letting themselves be known, true to form and don’t mix words, probably someone that if you were next to them, they would have your attention and you would be glad to have them there and as a true friend.

People need to escape, I understand that, but my feeling about the ones who are not true, just be yourself, show your interest but don’t live it to where you put others down, belittle them just to make you feel better about your life.

When you are true to others they will be true to you, I have found that out in my search for friends on the web, people beware I have a very good memory and I also watch and learn. For my myself, I want to get to know people, always have, I think lives of others is interesting, I am not one to pay attention to someone that is not true.

This is a short article this month, because I have other lives to live hahaha, No it is because to do a social article like this this, who do you get that is really an expert on it, there is only the ones that live it everyday that can add to this, and that is you, the readers.

So which one are you?

The last city prelim to the regional contest in October!

Come and see who’s competing for the crown of Mr. AND Miss Denver Shining Star 2013 - 2014!

COMING SOON!!!!

A NEW WEB BASED TALK SHOW SPILLING ALL THE DIRT done by drag performers and will be shot at Denver Rodeo!

THIS SHOW IS PERFORMED EXCLUSIVELY AT CHEROKEE RANCH & CASTLE!!

Come attend a special stop of “Antiques Hit the Road”, our spoof of the PBS show that allows people to have their “little treasures” appraised. This event is particularly special, as it is being held at Cherokee Ranch & Castle, home of many valuable antiques itself. But something sinister seems to have brought all these people together in this space. Is it the objects? Are they cursed by spirits of the Afterlife, as a mysterious stranger suggests? Or is something more corporeal behind the happenings at the Castle? Can the mystery be solved as people start dropping like flies?

Due to slight sexual humor this show is rated PG. At least 10 audience members become characters in the show, so if you have someone you’d like to ‘volunteer’ for us, bring ‘em along! In the Castle Great Hall! $70/person includes limited exploration of the Castle, Performance, Supper Buffet from Gourmet Catering, Dessert and Coffee. Cash bar.

Seating is limited so please visit http://cherokeeranch.org/crcPages/murder_home.php to get your rezzies in, or call 303.688.4600 . Doors open at 7:00 & prompt arrival is appreciated by your fellow patrons. Also, late-comers tend to piss off the ghosts and this show is on the first Friday the 13th of this year, so don’t say we didn’t warn ya!

Solve the mystery and win a fabulous prize! You’ll Die Laughing!!!
