Leather labors of love
All over the country leather people are competing for local titles so that they may represent their communities at home and also at international contests next year. Producing a contest is an expensive and time consuming labor of love but the leather women of San Diego have found an ingenious way to raise funds and put a little camp into a community that sometimes takes itself way too seriously. Next Saturday, October 9th is the thirteenth annual Butch Revue which will benefit the charities of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and SD Leather Pride. Former Ms. World Leather and producer of Ms San Diego Leather, Annie Romano is the founder of the Butch Revue which was initially a fundraiser for her travel fund when she ran for IMsL in 1998 during her reign a…

Satirical Artistry: Del Ray Artisans exhibit features satirical homages to iconic art
Art:
''I've done several paintings and have somewhat of an obsession with American Gothic by Grant Wood,'' says artist Zade Ramsey, who repeatedly traveled to see the famous painting when he was younger.
More recently, he's created a humorous adaptation of the painting, replacing the pitchfork-holding stoic old man with a scheming Montgomery Burns from The Simpsons, and his dignified-looking daughter with an open-mouthed Honey Boo Boo from TLC, called ''An Excellent Boo Boo, American Gothic.''
Turn on Your Masters: ZadeRamsey. An Excellent Boo Boo American Gothic
It's just one artwork among many in a show Ramsey's co-curated for Del Ray Artisans, Turn on Your Masters. Artists were invited to ''satire their favorite artists,'' Ramsey explains, and ''have fun with some of these classic art pieces.'' It's satire as high compliment, even homage, and a retread of a popular show that Ramsey curated some 17 years ago for D.C.'s Triangle Artists Group, or TAG. It was a special show, even more so since Alexandria-resident Ramsey met his partner Ali there. So naturally he was intrigued at reprising the theme.
Working with co-curator Drew Cariaso, a gay artist on the Del Ray Artisans board, Ramsey enlisted regular Metro Weekly contributor Scott G. Brooks, one of the artists represented in the original show, to serve this time as judge, selecting the top three from a mixed-media pool of likely 100 pieces of art drawn from a call for entrees. The exhibit opens with a snacks-and-wine reception Friday, April 5, that will also include a performance by a well-known local drag queen, one whose identity won't be revealed beforehand. She'll lip-synch in satire to legendary opera diva Maria Callas
Divas as masters? It definitely sounds like a show curated by gay men. -- Doug Rule
Opening reception is Friday, April 5, from 7 to 10 p.m., and exhibit is on display through April 28, at Del Ray Artisans in the Nicholas A. Colasanto Center, 2704 Mount Vernon Ave., Alexandria. Call 703-731-8802 or visit thedelrayartisans.org. ...more

"(Katy Perry?s) ?I Kissed a Girl? was just straight-up offensive. The whole thing..."
?(Katy Perry?s) ?I Kissed a Girl? was just straight-up offensive. The whole thing is like, I kissed a girl so my boyfriend could masturbate about it later. It?s disgusting. It?s exactly every male fantasy of fake lesbian porn. It?s pathetic. And she?s not a good singer.? - Kathleen Hanna on Katy Perry.�

An interview with Monica Fontanoza, Army Reservist
Being that she was displaced as a youth, it took her many years to find herself and realize her potential. She joined the Sheriff’s Department in 2006 and later joined the Army Reserves in 2008. Her relationship at that time had gone sour after she signed the contract because her ex did not agree with gays in the service. However Monica disagreed and felt it was an honor to represent GLBT people anyway and anywhere she could.
Monica went on to become a Civil Affairs Specialist and fell in love with it, realizing that there are people out there with integrity and compassion for others. Fortunately for her she says, they are the men and women she gladly serves with.
Monica’s partner Vanessa was a firefighter in the Navy. She felt a sense of du…
