At first glance, neither one of these guys seems like a musician or DJ. One is single, and a web developer, the other a father who lives in Port Angeles. But Tighe McGillvrey is a DJ and producer on the fast track to stardom, and Olof Järvegren is already a world...
The leather community has always had its shares of competitions and titles. In and near Seattle, we have the Washington State Mr. and Ms. Leather competition, Seattle Leather Daddy and Daddy’s Boy, Northwest Puppy, and others. One of the most famous in the country,...
Her Highness is unique among drag characters, which is no small feat. Not that anything Princess Charming does is particularly unique, although her fabulous singing voice does stand out in a world filled with lip syncing. But the way that Christian packages his talents, his singing and acting, in a character that deftly crosses the line between two genders, is all his own.
James Adomian is openly gay, according to his Wikipedia page. It must be an important detail, considering that it’s exactly half of the information contained in the Personal life section. He’s also the grandson of Armenian-American mathematician George Adomian. End of story.
If you’ve spent any time out and about in Seattle’s bar scene, or on one of a number of shared blogs and Tumblr sites, you’ve likely seen a striking, fit fellow wearing very little clothing.

If it were possible to put Jody Kuehner in a room with Cherdonna Shinatra, their positive energies would probably compound exponentially to the point of an explosion of rainbows and glitter. I'm sure of it. It's not possible, of course, because the artist and dancer...
James Darling, despite holding several day jobs, is probably best known as an award-winning FTM porn director, performer, and sex educator, as well as the man behind FTMFucker.com. James will be visiting Seattle this week to judge the Mr. Trans Seattle pageant at...
In a post-modern, deconstructionist society that's supremely concerned with labels and identity, it's refreshing to see any entertainer who actively works to avoid them. AB Soto is a great example. Born in East LA, but living in New York, he manages to embody the best...
It’s a beautiful day outside, as I sit perched in front of my dining room table waiting for a call from musician, promoter, DJ, and drag legend Lady Bunny. This was an interview that I felt appropriately prepared for, but I was still nervous. She is, after all, a...
