David Drake presents My Tawny Valentine
Obie Award-winning playwright/performer David Drake (The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me) makes his long-awaited return to New York with the premiere of MY TAWNY VALENTINE. Written by and starring Drake, this drag tragicomedy with music is directed by David Briggs (film: Karen Black Like Me) featuring musical direction by Lance Cruce (Joan Rivers’ longtime pianist, Karen Finley’s Make Love).
Performances begin February 17th at The Laurie Beechman Theatre.
MY TAWNY VALENTINE marks the unheralded return of Tawny Heatherton, a lovably eccentric showbiz survivor and “one hit wonder” of the disco zeitgeist of the early 1980s. Tawny brings her singular blonde-swept brand of sunny, funny optimism while recalling stories of wandering the globe performing her disco “hit,” her headline-grabbing turn as the unwitting “Pyro Girl of Long Island,” her short-lived stint as a “Hee-Haw Honey,” and reuniting with her long-lost aunt Joey Heatherton at the Mohegan Sun Resort & Casino.
DAVID DRAKE is an actor-writer-director best-known as the Obie Award-winning playwright/performer of The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me, one of the longest-running solo shows in Off-Broadway history. David also starred in Vampire Lesbians of Sodom (succeeding Charles Busch for 856 performances), originated the role of “Miss Deep South” in the hit Pageant, as well as co-starring with Jim J. Bullock in End of More >
Father’s Day 2011
The modern use of the word mentor: A trusted friend, counselor or teacher, usually a more experienced personWithout others to follow & learn from, life would be so much more challenging
FYI: Father Day is Sunday (public service announcement) My Father turns 82 on Saturday – simply amazing.
I see my Father daily in my mind. I attempt to channel him when I can. He created a wonderful family and life for the Nelson clan w/ my Mom. Not the perfect family; they do not exist My Father is the most trusting, honest, hard-working & loving man I know. He shows this thru his daily activities & how he takes care of Mom & my brother and sister. He still mows the Lions Park in Merrifield, MN + fixes furnaces & anything else their church needs. He runs around w/ a bunch of other 80 something men, who have lived full lives & raised families of their own. Dad will take in information, process it & then carefully word or make a response I am still working on being like that I am too quick to respond Character flaws – I have plenty of them
Mentors share experiences, so others can skip the More >

Earthquake Hits New York City
I have waited my whole life to feel the earth move. Mind you, I have had sex where I thought the earth move But that is an entirely another conversation
Do you remember the Wrigley Extra Gum commercial where the woman missed seeing the elusive blue back whale? In case you need to jar your memory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjeD_G0m0Kc Well, that was how I felt when I was alerted to the Quake on Tuesday I missed it! And I was sitting @ my desk in the heart of Manhattan.
Oh well, what is it w/ all these crazy things going on? I am sure there are international comments about the Washington Monument cracking about a higher being sending a message∑ The again, DC is on a swamp; from what I gather
Good old NYC is on bedrock. ______________________________________________________
I have missed you: We have not spoken for a few weeks. On August 6, We did H20: The Water Park Party. Financially, it sucked. We were told it was going to storm! It rained in the city; but in New Jersey; other then a slight sprinkle @ 8pm for a bit: The weather was magnificent! At the Park itself tho: We had a great time!! For those who went More >
National Coming Out
October 5, 2011 Tuesday, October 11, 2011 in the USA (October 12 in The United Kingdom) is National Coming Out Day (NCOD). This is an internationally observed civil awareness day for coming out & discussion about gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgender people (LGBT) & asexuals. It is observed by members of the LGBT communities & their supporters (often referred to as allies) on October 11 every year or October 12 in the United Kingdom. ______________________________________________________When I was in college, I started to explore the LGBT world. I went to a club called the Gay 90′s on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis. This place looked like Vegas Casino Huge flashing Marquee announcing itself I was very tipsy (felt I needed that to prepare myself) I wandered in, nervous as hell. The place is made up of various rooms, a leather bar, a dance club, a Drag Queen performance space, a cowboy Bar and a Go Go lounge. Basically a Gay Mall. I had a girlfriend at the time, which certainly weighed heavy on my mind. Nothing happened that night. But a guy from my college saw me. He was OUT and proud. He also was delusional & told whoever would listen that not only More >
Lion Tigers Bears…
October 20, 2011
A beautiful black & white fox terrier named Peppy aka Peppy-la-poo was our family dog (the street we lived on was called Territorial Road: thus my drag name Peppy Territorial FYI)
Peppy arrived to the Nelson household as a puppy for my sister. Never was a dog so beloved as Peppy. Peppy was a character. He loved to sing (more of a howl) w/ Mom as she would play her accordion; especially My Wild Irish Rose (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2D7nXEBjSY) Besides his penchant for a tune, he could hear a can opener from a mile away & also the opening of a bucket of ice cream (he always got a scoop) He had a bed in the vestibule, but spent many a night at the foot of my bed, and by morning up snuggling near my head. He was an adventurous pup, and would venture to dangerous places like Mean Old Man Stearns, who shot @ him (bastard) When Mom went to work in my teen years, it was puppy that would see me off to school & welcome me home after a day of hell dealing w/ the gayboy bashing kids from school. Problems melted away when he would insist on going More >
What Team Are You On?
November 11, 2011
Sometimes there is a game I play w/ some girlfriends called: Your team or my team? Where as we discuss whether someone is gay or not. It is NOT easy! The whole metrosexual & homothug dealios have screwed up my calculations. at some point in time soon I pray: No one will care period. And the only discussion will be: are they loved? do they have someone that loves them? That in my mind is a better discussion. ______________________________________________________
Last Friday, was especially fun @ the F Word. Aside from the crazy mixture of boys, girls, sexy, energized, giving flavor etc New Jersey was in the House! Thank you Jesus! Melissa & Joe Gorga; her sisters, cousin Kathy and Richie & the wonderful Greg Bennett of Real Housewives of New Jersey all were in attendance to support Mrs. Gorga as she performed On Display! Lots of pix on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2706772267940.153044.1215807126&type=1
