Yesterday at a signing for his new book, Workin’ It: RuPaul’s Guide to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Style.
The audience was fierce, too.
P.S. To those that have yet to check out the second season of Drag Race, WHAT THE CRAP ARE YOU WAITING FOR? If you need convincing (which, really?), here’s a fan vid for “Cover Girl,” with scenes from Season 1:
And … what.

Guys! Did you know curling was an Olympic sport?
Me neither!
But it is, and yesterday I got to try it.
Here are some pictures:
Another one to file under “random promotional events,” this one was a curling demonstration/scotch tasting with the link being that curling supposedly originated in Scotland (also, getting people tipsy and having them throw stones is obviously a great idea). Here’s Kari drinking some scotch.
The curling lane. Slippperryyyyy
Kari trying her hand at the sport (FYI, the stones are incredibly heavy),
and US Olympian (and all-around doll) Jessica Schultz showing us how it’s supposed to be done. Look at that form!
In case you’re like me and it slipped your mind, the 2010 Winter Olympics start February 11th in Vancouver. I’ll be watching now that I have someone to root for.
Sports!
So… sometimes record companies have crazy money to spend on promoting a band. Lucky for me, last night was one of those nights.
The company: EMI.
The band: The Constellations.
The venue: Brooklyn Bowl.
Bowling.
(He’s shocked at how unskilled I am.)
The band,
and the booze. Lots and lots of booze.
Kim’s super serious about her margarita.
Just kidding!
But look! I won a trophy! For reals!
(Nah, everybody got one.)
Not pictured but definitely worth mentioning: The Blue Ribbon menu. Although, I will say that BBQ wings, while delicious, don’t really go well with handling bowling balls. Good thing there were lots of wet naps
(moist wipes? towelettes? Every way of describing them is awkward)
handy.
Filed under: Music, New York | Tags: erin clements, hip hop karaoke championshiops, vanilla ice is gonna make a comeback and then you'll all see, who's down with OPP?
She’s doing OPP at the Hip Hop Karaoke Championships last Friday.
She wasn’t performing, though (I WISH). She was just in the audience.
But this guy was performing:
And this guy had lots of friends in the audience:
Which was good, because these guys were judging, and they were haaarrrsh:
Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg, Buckshot, and Big Daddy Kane.
I think I’m gonna enter next year. Only problem is, they don’t let you do “Ice, Ice, Baby,” and that’s sorta my jam.
Maybe they’ll change the rules for me?
… a BDSM dungeon called Pandora’s Box. I think I got some good stuff!
This would make a good hammock, right? And it’ll fit snug in the corner.
This is a nice, sturdy chair for when guests come over. Bonus foot rest!
This I’ll use when my bathroom is occupied…
and use this metal thing it comes with to catch, I guess.
I’ll put this in the extra bedroom,
and use this when I’m just hanging out.
Well guys, what do you think? Good choices? ‘Cause there’s always IKEA…

Julian Casablancas is:
a) the lead singer of the Strokes
b) 31 years old and about to be a father
c) the nemesis of mic stands everywhere
d) a little hippy, but it probably wouldn’t show if he didn’t wear tight leather pants
Julian Casablancas has:
a) released a solo album called “Phrazes for the Young”
b) an enviable studded (and embroidered?) motorcycle jacket
c) captured the hearts of pubescent boys and hormonal ladies alike

Julian Casablancas, Terminal 5, 1/15/10. He played “I Wish It Was Christmas Today”. And apparently Ke$ha was there.
His name is Tomo.
He is fancy.
But he didn’t cook this delicious dinner.
That was the amazing and talented Jen.
After dinner over cigars (his suggestion) I asked Tomo where he stood on the whole Leno/Conan issue. He said “Rowr rowr roooowwwwrrrrr!” which roughly translates to “Team Conan! What the hell is Jeff Zucker thinking?
Also, I like Triumph the Insult Comic dog. I think we could be friends. And also, I like to lick myself. Woof.”
Good talk.
(Bad Photoshop.)
“Um, guys? How did I get up in this tree?
And where the heck is my shoe?”
We don’t know Michael, but it musta been one crrrraaazzzzyy night.
Happy New Year kiddos!
