“Good lord you’re a busy boy.” And I agree, as the night begins.
Cajjmere is absent from Sultry Saturdays,
his long-standing party at Byzantium. “Cajj didn’t tell me why,
but he asked me to fill in,” DJ Juniah informs
me. My mind goes into overdrive wondering why. It’s just a matter
of time before Cajjmere stops DJing these intimate venues and goes
into producing full time. For those who don’t know, Cajjmere is
the mastermind behind Canadian singer Addictiv’s
summer hit “Over it.” There is even a very skinny animated version
of him at the beginning of the video. But Juniah, no beginner to
the beats, puts those thoughts out of mind as the packed dancefloor
gets into his track selections. Downstairs, Screaming Gina
tiptoes through the bathrooms, which are flooded with a mysterious
substance. Sultry Saturday just turned sticky.
• @adamschwabe tweets: “Is it me or has Gairy
Brown put on like 200 pounds of muscle?” Beefy Brown’s
party at the three-level house of chic that is Straight is hopping.
Bartender and talented photographer Peter Tamlin
(who recently shot a Covergirl ad) easy breezily prepares a decadent
cocktail. “Greta and Ezra Constantine are the collections to watch,”
says Flare senior editor Elio Iannacci, sharing
his thoughts on the upcoming LG Fashion Week as DJ Mark
Falco gets the kiki crowd dancing on the third floor. “Prism
is moving forward with so many things this year,” says Brown, executive
director of Prism, with pride from the second floor. Strangely,
the usually wellchoreographed Sofonda is nowhere
in the Prism picture, having seemingly been replaced by the avantgarde
stylings of Lena Love. Will the children be ready?
• @mason5280 tweets: “Got another feature for you
to check out there.” Goodhandy’s is now so busy that Mason has built
the club another service bar. That’s good news for Dirty
Sexy Party, which has been going strong since it first
made Goodhandy’s its home more than a year ago. Instead of enlisting
the smooth buns of another twink pornstar, organizers Joseph
Patrick and a very drunk Sofonda tonight
enlist the big-dick powers of older, hunkier Leo Giamani.
While waiting for what seems like hours, hot go-go boy Elliot
threatens to steal the show by shoving his moist crotch into many
appreciative faces. Leo finally makes his appearance and is joined
onstage by fans eager to touch and taste his wet and oily skin.
“I’m working with Chi Chi LaRue now,” he says after his show. “She’s
got me doing things that I never thought I would do.” Perhaps it
includes things that those at the private show later on saw.
• @HardKora tweets: “Say ‘hi’ to me tonight! I’m
the one in green.” Created by Hard Kora and Barbie-Q,
the green and pink B-Girlz, Gowntown
at Buddies combines art with drag and alcohol. The night includes
guest performances by Steven Taetz and comedy duo
Liza & Carol but focuses largely on a drag contest.
A very beautiful but very clumsy Portia Glamoore
tries to channel Lady Gaga and places second. Skipper Meds
portrays a demented clown while Jenna Syde’s performance
could use a bit more concept and a little less alcohol. Dressed
as Velma from Scooby Doo, Dreama Sheen wins the
$100 prize and the coveted coat hanger. But what ever happened to
the other two B-Girlz? “There is a pig farm north of Toronto that
is going to get a lot of publicity a few years from now,” Kora replies
with a snort.
