  • Pride Centre drag show is an extravagant party and eye-opening experience

    By October 26, 2011

    What immediately struck me when I first strolled into Louis’ for this year’s annual Pride Centre Drag Extravaganza — aside from the realization that I would get to use some really awesome adjectives in my review of the show — was that drag queens have fabulous legs.

  • David Myles’s Into the Sun does not represent his potential

    By October 23, 2011
