Netchick on Demand Show: Brandi Amara Skyy, 2 Fierce Dallas Faux Queens, and 2 Queens

Last night's Netchick on Demand show kicked off a VERY busy week for me: 2 full production shows, 1 commissioned blog, 1 pageant, 3 rehearsals, and the continuation of Project Nunway.

And if that isn't enough, i am still keeping up with my other blogs, editing the female drag anthology, transcribing my interview with the women of the "Bio Queen Manifesto," and writing my own piece.

*WHEW*

i'm one busy queen!

Check the pics of last night show plus scroll all the way down for a video!!

Gaybingo Dallas - 50 Shades of Gay

What a fabulous time and a fabulous show at Gaybingo this past Saturday!!

One of the best things about dancing with people for five + years is that you don't require a lot of rehearsal time to pull off a kick ass show!! i received a text from my dancing soul mate, Manny, on Friday about resurrecting our "Single Ladies" production and the next day (with less than an hour rehearsal and NO stage time) we pulled off a SICK O NEEN mini production.

Here are some pics of the first Gaybingo of 2013 with a video coming soon! All photos are courtesy of Cher Musico of Musico Roots Photography.

Project Nunway Part I - The Birth of a Brandi Amara Skyy Couture Project

So i'm really excited to be designing for Dallas' Project Nunway. The date has been set (April 27th) and a theme has been chosen, "A Fairy's Tale." i got paired up with SisterPlenty O'Cleavage (her name is EVERYTHING!) and when we met she told me her favorite fairy tale dress was Drew Barrymore's Ever After Cinderella gown (which i then informed her is one of my favorite movies!!!!!!).


The dress is GORGEOUS, but a tad bit too traditional for my style. My aesthetic relies heavily upon unconventional materials--paper, condoms, found objects, etc. So, i really wanted to marry my vision to what she wanted. Later in the week, i came across this David LaChapelle photo from Harper's Bazaar and fell in LOVE with the concept



A DRESS MADE OUT OF CELLOPHANE!!! HOW BRILLIANT IS THAT?!?!?

i had found the missing textile to my design!! So i sketched out a dress made out of fabrics AND cellophane (oh, yes with wings too!)


TA-DA!!
The beginnings of Nunway Couture has begun! This is a very raw sketch of what the dress will probably end up looking like. One of the perks of this project is that i get to sashay down the runway with my sister so i get to concoct not one, but TWO sickening couture pieces!!!!!

i'm soo excited about where this is going and i can't wait to get started!  i will be blogging throughout the project (much like this post) so keep to checking back to see how the look progresses (and transforms)!!
