A Note from the
Editor
Better & Better I love holiday parties. The clean up aftermath however, is something I dread. I wish I could pull a Goldie Hawn from Overboard and grab the tablecloth from its edges and slam all the dishes and glasses into the sink and just run the hose on it. At least that way I could have my way with a young Kurt Russell. I think that the proper thing for guests at a sit-down dinner party should at least offer to help with the cleaning up, especially if they didn’t help with the cooking. It may be just a gesture, but the hosts and people that actually prepared the meal always appreciate the offer.
In this issue there is a great informative article about holiday party travel alternatives. As someone who has had a brush with the law over driving with a cocktail in me, trust me when I say that it is so much cheaper to take a cab, Uber, or whatever to get to and from wherever you are going. It’s also the responsible and safe thing to do for not only you, but also all the other drivers on the road. The 12th annual Toy Party is this weekend and I couldn’t be more excited. This will be my first year attending and I was happy to hear that For The Kid In All Of Us has a new plan to encourage more toys being donated. If you bring a second toy donation to the event you will be entered into a raffle for a special Valentine’s Day retreat. The package includes a hotel suite downtown, dinner at the Sundial, and a gondola on that Ferris wheel downtown. Even though I am single, I could definitely make use of that weekend.
If you’re a guest at a cocktail party, try your best to minimize the mess by retaining your glass throughout the evening. When you’re done drinking or leaving the Whatever your plans this holiday season, have lots of fun and party, place the glass near the kitchen sink. Don’t just be safe. leave it in some random place for the host to find for themselves later.

attend seem to have media photographers present. It’s not being bougie, I’m far from it...but if you saw my Dragon Con Office wardrobe, you would know that I indeed belong to the nerdy fan masses. (There is absolutely nothing wrong with house slippers as part of your work attire...just sayin’) For those of you that actually groom nicely, and wear tailored and fitted gorgeous clothes, I can only imagine the stress you go through. *As a helpful hint, take a look at your pic feeds from recent parties and social events, that way you know not to pull a repeat outfit. Goddess knows, certain sissies will hate something about it as is. Let’s not give them more ammo.
‘Tis the Season to Never Host, But Show Up to Everything Else! Why are we so obsessed with the invite lists to the various parties we attend? Is it so we don’t run into someone we don’t like, or are we actually gauging the quality of the event by the type of people that may be attending? Whichever the case, I for one never host a party of any kind. (Well, except for the bedroom variety.) And the reasons are myriad, i.e. my house is super small, there’s all that smiling and caring throughout the event, and more importantly...I hate cleaning up after people. But like many of us, I also smirk as I peruse the invite list on Facebook and Evite events, looking for the fun... and not so fun...people that will be there. Admit it, you love your friends, but sometimes it sends you into a better mood knowing some of the other guests at the party are great conversationalists. This way, you don’t wind up following the host(s) around all night because you don’t actually know anyone and you’re too shy to try and make a new friend. (This tactic sucks for another reason, because now you get to help with all the little shit the hosts forgot to do.) If any of you know me, you know I’m hardly a slave to fashion. So as the holiday party season tends to create more demand for my appearance, I really do stress about what I’ll wear. Because these days, events I’m invited to 10 // 12.03.2014
I would be remiss to not include my recent attempt at hosting an event, and how it all went horribly wrong. Because of my other social engagements of late, I was approached by one of those fringe partiers. You know, the ones that are kind of cute so you kind of chit chat at each event, as you graze the buffet. Well, this homo compliments my seemingly ‘always in a good mood, fun to party with’ attitude (*Take note that all people born under the astrological zodiac sign of the almighty LEO, are whores for compliments) and I of course listened with rapt attention. A few days later he pings me on Facebook that we should hang out sometime. Of course I thought he was hitting on me, cause duh I’m totes adorbs, but found out he genuinely was looking for a change of scenery and try going out with new friends. What a novel idea! As the conversation progressed, his lavish compliments weakened my reserve, and I agreed to host a singles mixer at a fun restaurant I love called Bone Garden Cantina. I invited all of my single friends, with the goal to let everyone meet and strike up all new conversations with all new people. So, of course he cancels...late at night.. the night before the social he inspired, citing that a co worker desperately needed to him to cover a shift. Someone I barely knew blew enough flattery my way that I actually tried to help him seek new friends and new social scenes. Silly me. Now you know why he’s single, and why it’s never smart to host anything. So, party on!! Egg nog your heart out, and remember to always be suspicious of casual friendly partiers. You never know if they’re the next great thing, or the latest crazy to try and take advantage of your kindness.

‘Divine’
Intervention Bette Midler talks early LGBT support, ‘diva’ degradation, twerking and equal wig rights
DA: You were welcoming to the gay community at a time when many weren’t. When you look back at your early support for the LGBT community, what do you recall as being the moment that galvanized you to stand up as an ally?
BY CHRIS AZZOPARDI
BM: I had been in the theater for a long time, from the time I was a young person, and I’d always known gay people – and they were just, like, gay people! Just ordinary friends. People that you knew, and that you never thought twice about. You didn’t think of them as being different, although looking back on my high school years, I think there were a lot of people in my high school – this is so many years ago; this is 50 years ago – who probably were gay and didn’t ever talk about it. As a matter of fact, one of the kids that I went to school with, an enormously popular guy – really funny, really wonderful – who was in my Latin class, wrote me before he passed away from AIDS to tell me that he had been gay and that he had contracted AIDS.
B
efore the whole world knew her as “The Divine Miss M,” Bette Milder was ours. In the early ’70s, bawdy, belt-y Bette was performing for the NYC bathhouse boys, and don’t think she’s forgotten it, either. “I mean, if I had a nickel for everybody that said they saw me at the baths,” says Midler in our recent interview, “I would be Joe Billionaire by now!”
Midler would go on to global fame, reaching beyond music to become a celebrated name in film, television and on the stage, winning Grammys, Golden Globes, Emmys and a special Tony Award. And now, the eagerly awaited return of one of show business’s most versatile performers has arrived with the release of her first album in eight years, It’s the Girls!, a tribute to some of the greatest female harmonies in history.
So, I mean, what was the moment when I said that it was time to stand up? Oh my god – it never occurred to me not to. These were friends of mine – people that I had worked with, people that I had danced with, people I had broken bread with my whole life – so it never occurred to me not to. You do what Midler talked about the anticipated tour she’s about to launch you do because there’s nothing else to do. There’s no other in support of this latest effort – and the truck full of hair- option. pieces she’s schlepping along (“Cher has 55 wigs; why can’t I?!”). She also touched on her early support of the DA: But to stand up for people who were seen as LGBT community, the degradation of the word “diva” pariahs – that was taboo then. Did you experience and her plan to avenge Mae West for sending her a any backlash for supporting gay people at the cease and desist. time? David Atlanta: You know how much we gays love our girls. How much do you keep your gay following in mind when you make music, particularly with It’s the Girls!?
BM: You know, I might have, but I was very well-protected in those days. I actually did not feel it. I remember the first big benefit that anyone had done for gay rights (“A Star Spangled Night for Rights” in 1977). I remember the poster, and it was at the Hollywood Bowl. Lily (Tomlin), Richard Pryor and Tom Waits were on the program, but nobody ever said LGBT then. Bette Midler: To tell you the truth, it really didn’t That didn’t exist. cross my mind. The music I chose is music I had a lot of affection for. Some of these songs So that night, Tom Waits sang “Standin’ on the Corner” and I’ve known since I was a little girl. I feel like if I then Richard Pryor came out and Richard Pryor started off have a strong feeling for this music, people will great. I don’t even know if this is in your history books or also have a strong feeling for it. The truth is, you anything, but he started off great and then worked himself cannot pander. You have to go with your gut and up into a real frenzy as only he could. He said that the gay your heart and be true to yourself, and hope that community had never supported civil rights and, “Where were people like it. They generally do. you when we were riding and they were kicking us to the curb davidatlanta.com // 15
and we were being fire hosed?” Then he said, “You all can kiss my rich, black ass!” and he stomped off the stage. And I had to follow him! I mean, I’m just stripping it bare, but imagine what happened. So I went out and said, “You all can kiss my rich, white ass,” and of course then everything was much better, but it was such a curious evening. I think Stonewall, in the middle ’60s, was the first time (the gay community) fought back, but, you know, in history everyone says “I was there.” I mean, if I had a nickel for everybody that said they saw me at the baths, I would be Joe Billionaire by now! I would be playing at Madison Square Garden instead of a rickety-tickety little bathhouse on 73rd Street! OK, let’s move on. I really do think that this big fundraiser in the late ’70s was a little shot across the bow too, and then not long after that, in the middle ’80s, AIDS came down and it was so horrible and, even though he knew so many gay people, Ronald Reagan did nothing. Nothing!
it wasn’t flat out in your face. It was also supremely elegant. You know, I talk about this with my girlfriend Toni Basil, another gay icon: Those voices, the black voices, were not familiar to white ears. They simply never heard those voices singing harmony before. You never really heard those really strong, vibrant black girls singing until The Shirelles, The Crystals, The Chiffons, and then the Motown girls, and the girls who came after: Sister Sledge, The Emotions and down the line. The Honeycombs? Is there a group called The Honeycombs? I personally wanted to cover (The Weather Girls’) “Two Tons o’ Fun” but everyone said, “No, no, you can’t cut that,” so I didn’t.
DA: You’ve been a self-proclaimed diva. In fact, your 1997 HBO special was called Diva Las Vegas, and during your Las Vegas spectacle at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, The Showgirl Must Go On, you said you were the “People’s Diva.” At this point, has the meaning of the word “diva” changed so much DA: Right – he wouldn’t even publicly acknowledge it that you no longer identify with it? was an issue until years later. And hey, Bette, I don’t mean to cut you off, but we’re on a time limit. BM: It’s a word that is just so overused that it’s really lost all currency. It no longer has any meaning at all. Any old slob on BM: Oh! I’m sorry. I’m waxing poetic. Anyway, enough about you; the Internet can say, “Well, I’m a ‘diva,’” and have some people let’s talk about me. believing it, but not me. In the old, old, old, old days – you know, during the Civil War when I was just a child – it meant “the star.” DA: If a gay fan approaches you, which of your proj- It was an opera term, and it meant a female opera singer who ects would they most likely mention? really could carry the whole opera, and it has been so degraded now. It’s a shame because it really was a wonderful word. BM: You wanna know the truth? Hocus Pocus. Honestly, I cannot believe what happened with Hocus Pocus. I’m just dumbfounded DA: What does “diva” mean to you now? by the number of people who mention Hocus Pocus – and they’re young people! BM: It means nothing. It has absolutely no meaning at all. “Divine” still has meaning because there’s still a church, but DA: Was your Halloween costume from this year “diva” has absolutely no meaning at all. – when you went as your Hocus Pocus character, Winifred Sanderson – the closest we’ll ever get to a DA: When you hit the road for your first tour in 10 sequel? years, how many wigs are you bringing along with you? BM: I tell them all you must write the Walt Disney Company because I don’t have anything to say about it – but they do! BM: Oh my god – I have a truck! I have a whole truck. Well, Cher always does. Cher has 55 wigs; why can’t I? To tell you the DA: But you’d be up for it? truth, I have been wearing wigs since, let’s see, the very, very old days. Since I first started making motion pictures – movies! BM: Oh yeah. The girls and I have talked about it, and we all laugh – I’ve always worn wigs. Always, always, always. It really does and say, “Yeah, we’ll wait for that phone call.” But sure, we would spare you. It really is a time-saver, and I really enjoy them. And all do it. We had a wonderful time.

12th Annual Toy Party & Silent Auction Bring Happiness to 5,000 Children This Year
N
othing could be sadder than a child not having presents to open up on Christmas morning. But for many struggling families, the best that they can hope for this holiday season is just to get by economically. Thankfully the annual Toy Party gives all of us an opportunity to change those children’s Christmas for the better. Held at the AmericasMart Building, the Toy Party offers a festive cocktail party for Atlantans to come together for the holidays and make a real difference to underprivileged children. Since the event began in 2003, they have raised over $475,000 and collected and distributed over 40,000 toys. The benefiting charities include Jerusalem House, Lost N’ Found, CHRIS Kids, and AID Atlanta. For the price of admission and a toy valued at $20 or more, children all over Atlanta will have a better Christmas. Presenting the event is For The Kid In All Of Us, a charity organization founded by a group of friends who simply wanted to make a positive change in their local community. What started out as a small house party has grown into one of Atlanta’s premiere holiday party events. Each year 4,000 holiday revelers enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a lineup of performance artists throughout the evening.
By Jonathan Bugg The 11th Annual Toy Party is Sunday, Dec. 7 at AmericasMart Building 3 from 5–9 p.m. General admission is $5 and an unwrapped toy worth $20+. VIP Donor access is $250 for one person or $400 for two. For more information, visit forthekid.org.
O
ne of the great things about the Toy Party is the silent auction that contains over 200 items. Among the items up for bid are wine baskets, gift certificates the restaurants, art, and exotic travel packages. This year President of For The Kid, Brian Isabell stated that they have a goal to raise $75,000 with their auction. Bid on travel packages like 7-nights in a three-bedroom house in the Virgin Islands with included airfare donated by Delta (valued at $7,500). Imagine how good that would feel during these bitterly cold winter months. Another great travel package on the auction block is being pampered in every way for 7 days in a beautiful B&B in San Magil, Mexico airfare included (valued at $7,000). Here are three of the many artworks that are included in the silent auction. Robert Sherer “Smart Shopper”
This year the headlining act is Electric Avenue. The Atlanta Synth Pop band is widely known for their renditions of the best Pop songs from the 80’s. DJ Sed, and other roaming performance artists will join Electric Avenue. Another way the For The Kid is stepping up this year is by raffling off a Valentine’s Day package to those who bring a second toy to the event. The V-Day package includes a suite in the Westin Peachtree Plaza, dinner at the panoramic Sundial restaurant, and passes for a gondola on the Skyview Ferris Wheel. 20 // 12.03.2014

Season 2 Grand Finale Pop Star at 10th & Piedmont
O
ver a year ago an event called Pop Star was created to not only show how much varied talent there was in Atlanta, but also to help act a vehicle to promote these talented individuals. This Friday at 11 p.m., marks the final competition of the second season of competition and the verdict of the grand finale winner.
This is not a drag competition (at least not entirely), there are competitors from all schools of entertainment. Every month, rappers and singers, comedians and female/male impersonators have battled it out to win $100, and the chance to bring their act back for this grand finale and the $1,000 in cash and prizes. Show creator and host, Princess Charles (A.K.A. Charles Kollock) conceptualized the contest as “America’s Got Talent…but in Midtown.” He states “all the contestants this year are all equally great and there are so many genres of talent, that it’s impossible to predict the winner.” Last season’s winner was white rapper, Jay Tyler, who now performs all over the city. Princess Charles likes to have a panel of judges that is well rounded and also includes a talent scout. So from Pop Star, individuals are able to showcase their talent and have it seen by people that can help propel them forward in their careers. Pop Star 2 Grand Finale occurs this Friday, Dec. 5 at 10th & Piedmont at 11 p.m. 28 // 12.03.2014

Then, a flash of light, the shimmer of sequins, and the emergence of red feathers against a smoky background light up the stage for a nonstop, high energy modern cabaret show that runs the first Friday of every month at Center Stage.

Perle Noire seduced the crowd with her slow, yet very sexually charged and sultry performance as she teased the audience and kept them begging for more. Not surprising though, since she is one of the top three most sought after burlesque performers to date and has recently been on tour with Dita Von Teese’s Strip Strip Hooray. Perle Noire’s second performance of the night was even more enamoring as she twisted and moved her body to the African nod beat of YemiConga’s conga drums in tassel pasties.
Clubesque is definitely a high energy, non-stop ride of entertainment where they encourage audience participation and turn the finale into one giant dance party for everyone at the end of the night. Since the show changes every month, the audience can return every time and expect something new and exciting. This is definitely a show everyone should go and see if they want to witness “everything entertainment” and party with “no rules.”

wo-time Grammy® nominated DJ-producer Tony Moran is celebrating his 50th birthday with a nationwide club tour where you can hear his latest track, “Take It All The Way.” Don’t expect his signature thumping tribal beats with this new track as “Take It All The Way” is more experimental and even utilizes Tony’s own vocals. We asked Tony what his three birthday wishes were for the world:
1. Vladimir Putin finds it in his heart to end his persecution of LGBT people. I recently watched Campaign of Hate, Michael Lucas’ documentary on the lives of gays in Russia, and I was deeply saddened by the plight of our brothers and sisters in Russia.
Fifty and Fabulous Tony Moran’s Birthday Club Tour
40 // 12.03.2014
2. We respect our divas. These men and woman deserve our support. Please don’t steal their music. Pay the 99 cents. For less than the price of a cup of coffee, you can feed a diva. 3. That Richard Simmons finds his way to my dance floor. I have always loved the man that made us all sweat to the 80s. He brought so much happiness to people. It’s a shame that he is now struggling to find happiness within himself. I truly believe a night on my dance floor will get him on his way to recovery. Happy Birthday, Tony! Catch Tony Moran and his new track, “Take It All The Way” at Jungle Saturday night, Dec. 6. Doors open at 10:30 p.m.

fairyscopes presented by: the armorettes
ARIES (Mar. 20 – Apr. 19): Things may happen right under your nose this week, and you may not even be aware of it. The thing that will be obvious is your reaction to the situation when this hidden event suddenly comes to light.
LEO (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22): In your attempts to always be the nice, helpful one, you might find that you’re compromising some of your values. Know that balance and harmony are wonderful things, but they aren’t always worth the price of self-sacrifice.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 20): You may be barking up the wrong tree this week. Before you waste all your energy on your podium proclaiming your thoughts to the world, it would behoove you to stop, look around, and notice your audience.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 – May 20): It could be that close friends or family members are in sharp disagreement regarding a certain issue. Try not to be too distressed by divisions among the people you love.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22): Actions could be quick and intense this week. Things may hit you like lightning, so be prepared for just about anything. Mentally stabilize yourself before interacting with others. Dress to demonstrate your power.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 – Jan. 19): In an attempt to merge with infinity, you might overlook some basic life principles. Be careful about being seduced by those who want you to be involved in their drama. You may not even realize how deep a hole you’ve dug until it’s too late.
GEMINI (May 21- Jun. 20): There is a great deal of emotion and drive to the day, just the way you like it. Make sure you don’t get stuck with the short end of the stick as the day comes to a close.
LIBRA (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22): Your playful attitude is apt to be opposed by someone who refuses to see things your way. Walk away from those who aren’t committed to helping the situation. Prove to others that even though you may be happy, it doesn’t mean you’re gullible.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): Feel free to stand up for yourself, a cause, or another person this week, even if you know it will cause tension among the others around you. A heated argument is likely to ensue, and it wouldn’t be surprising if you were the catalyst.
CANCER (Jun. 21- Jul. 22): You’re going to be a valuable asset to others today because of your rational mind and ability to think things through clearly. Do your best to avoid fights, even though it will be tempting for you and others to want to let off some steam.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): This is one of those weeks where you’re trying to paint a large area, but you only have a small brush. Go easy on yourself and get a large brush. Make your strokes gigantic so you can cover more area with less effort.
PISCES (Feb. 19 – Mar. 19): Your mind is apt to be fixed on one thing this week, and you won’t rest until you’ve obtained it. Don’t be surprised if you have to put up a bit of a fight in order to accomplish this goal, whatever it may be.

t’s that time of year when we open our hearts and our wallets to those in need. Unfortunately, some folks out there find themselves doing this all year long with the losers in their lives. And some free advice to these free loadin’ losers: Close your palms, that is, unless you’re really good at jacking cock. You could use that skill to earn some money instead of accepting hand-outs. Hunties, this week’s Favorite Bitch is all about fools who give more charity than a gay man’s fraudulent tax filing!
Dear Miss Tiger, I’ve tried to help my ex. He’s fucked up so many times but a part of me still loves him. He just got another eviction notice and asked me to pay his back rent again. This boy gives me nothing but grief. Help! -Logan
Dear Miss Tiger, I’m not giving money to any Santas ringing bells. My ex used to volunteer and admitted to keeping some of the money. My new boyfriend thinks I’m a bitch because I won’t donate. Should I tell him the reason why? -Mark
P.S. If you’re gonna give away money, give it to a sexy motha fuckah on RentBoy.com and believe me, hunty ... you’ll get more than grief in return. NEXT!
Dear If You Didn’t Tell Him You Fucked Half Of The Dudes On Grindr Then Why Bother Telling Him The Rest Of Your Tawdry Past, And on that note ... NEXT!
Dear I See A U-HAUL In His Future, Help him, Boo! Help him with some boxes and do some evicting of your own.
Dear Miss Tiger, My husband and I got into a huge fight. He moved out. I came home and found all my drag was missing. Do you believe that son-ofa-bitch donated all my gowns and wigs to the Salvation Army? Should I sue him? -Anonymous in Atlanta
Dear You May Think You’re Anonymous But Dear Miss Tiger, Everybody Knows The Queen That Got Her I secretly steal clothing from the donation bin in the park- Wardrobe Got Snatched, ing lot of a local church. Am I going to hell? Sue him? How about cut the fuckin’ bastard! You can either take -Eddie his ass to court ... or troll local welfare offices and snatch your Bob Mackies off o’ those heffas enrolled in the Back To Work Program. Dear Dumpster Diver, NEXT! Ya may not be going to hell ... but you’re sure as fuck going to an emergency room once your arm gets stuck in the Dear Miss Tiger, bin’s revolving door like a leather daddy’s fist in the steam I can’t stop giving. I never seem to receive. How can I change this? maze at FLEX Atlanta. NEXT! -Pedro Dear Miss Tiger, My lover thinks I’m a charity! He won’t work and everyday he’s hitting me up for money. This has been going on for six years. Any advice on how do I put a stop to it? -Josh Dear Six Years And Ya Ain’t Learned Shit, I hope he’s been opening his legs the whole time you’ve been opening your wallet. And if he hasn’t, do that motha fuckah like a charity and write him off. NEXT!
66 // 12.03.2014
Dear Are You Talking About Sucking Dick Or Draining Your Bank Account? Either way ... you should combine the two and at least you’ll get something out it for a goddamn change!

Being a male is a matter of birth, being a man is a matter of age, but being a gentleman is a matter of choice. Grow up, you bitches!
If kindness really kills, I’ll always be completely safe around you.
Very excited to announce I’m on the market and actively looking for someone new to make me miserable.
Remember, every six cats equals one boyfriend.
Jingle all the way. No one likes a half-ass jingle.
“It’s complicated” relationship status = someone cheated but we signed a lease. A man went to the moon and only took five pictures, maybe you oughta cut down those 47 selfies for your trip to the bathroom, sweetheart. 68 // 12.03.2014
You’re so old you remember when “hashtag” was called a “pound sign.” You procrastinate so much you’ll probably put off death and never die.
What’s worse to have stuck in your head: a knife or “All About That Bass”?
You’re not important enough to have haters. You just have a few people who notice you’re an asshole.
Stop being a whiny little bitch and eat the fucking gluten.
You add about as much value as the “g” in lasagna.
Well, well, well, if it isn’t the guy whose name I don’t remember.
There’s a reason you’re single and it’s called your face.
