Who is still Hiring Shirley Q. Liquor ?

Shirley Q Liquor or Charles Knipp is known for his Blackface Drag a few years ago. Many peeps were not feeling this "act" and it was quite clear that the LGBT folks of color were no fans.

Now if you don't know about Miss Liquor, here's some insight:



Well, she been on the low until now... She's back and headlining a new show at Russian River Resort during the weekend on Juneteenth(a well-known Black celebration). Why are they hiring her? Do they understand what "Blackface" is?

I know some folks think it just jokes, but if you see and hear Shirley, you realize she is pushing stereotypes to the limit. I don't think it's funny to call yourself a "welfare queen" and talk about your 19 kids. Her act is an insult, pure and simple.

Several groups are calling a boycott of Shirley. If you are interesting putting in your 2 cents, please call the Russian River Resort at (707) 869-0691, they are also on Facebook too.

Let them know this foolishness ain't cute.

I Am...Xaviera St James

Yes, that's me several years ago. For 3 years in college, I hosted Rocky Horror Picture Show for an university program.

I was the Multicultural Chair for our Program Board, and to step up the hosting responsibilities, I became Xaviera St. James.

I did a couple of songs, played some raunchy RHPS games and talked about sex a lot.
During that time, I found myself enjoying performing in drag. I think it's fun, in fact, I recommend that everyone do it at least twice.

Now putting on the make-up was hard, but I would do it again. It's been 9 years, maybe Xaviera will make a special appearance with Patti LaBelle.

Now this is a Drag Preformance!

My friend, Allan S. led me to this Youtube extravaganza. Please check out this wonderful performer, Tandi Iman Dupree.

That's Work
