The FAG-Tionary And Alexander McQueen

HOW TRAGIC!!!!!

Just days after the loss of his mother, Joyce, Alexander McQueen was found hanged in his apartment this morning in London. To make it worse, it was at his own hand, apparently. This is the man who reinvinted the heel! A fashion legend and an Icon in his own right.

This man was to the Lady Gaga and SJP (to name a few) what Bob Mackie was to Cher and Carol Burnett. His indellible footprint on the fashion world can never be filled. He inspired many a young seamster and seamstress to pick up that first pair of shears, cut up those drapes and make it into a couture ball gown. Thank you so much for your contribution, Mr. McQueen. This was your soul's contract this lifetime. Even the flashbulbs of the greatest of photographers burn to quickly, and are gone in a flash. You will be missed.

There is no coincidence in this universe, and I am dedicating my next show to the memory of this Gay-con. Tomorrow night, I will be journeying into a world unexplored publically, especially amongst the Black Community. How appropos that in the midst of Black History Month, I will be doing a poetry set inspired by RuPaul and dedicated to Alexander McQueen that indulges in the subject of Black Homosexuality.

Without giving up the Whole Ghost, I just want to let it be known, that there are way to many damned misconceptions about The Non-Hetero Agenda.

First off, We don't really have one! I mean there are some people who want everybody to just be gay, but that's just damned stupid. There are others who want equality on all accords for Homosexual Couples, and that's real. But that's a civil rights issue, and not the purpose of this production. (But don't think it ain't coming up in discussion, Boo.)

This here is a look inside The Life. A chance for those who either look at the Kids and wonder Why?, or for those who look at the Children with love, to walk a mile in my mocassins, and get to know this Incarnation from the inside out. No H8teration in this dancerey, just a bunch a love, truth, and answers to questions you ain't know you had.

See you Friday!
