Ep. 56: Julie J

Jim judged the Get Schooled finale at VERS and unfairly takes credit for the success of a Phoenix Bar party, Freddie had Riis Beach adventures. Also, Red Eye opens for real on Sept 23!!!

Then, it's time to speak to someone who is changing the face of NYC nightlife with giant production shows that celebrate heart and give back to the community: the newly crowned Miss Bushwig, JULIE J! Julie spills on: her Bushwig moments and the challenging of hosting three massive benefit showcases in a year; the (un-)changing drag booking fees in NYC; her roots in theater, writing and Texas; working with NY icons like Kevin Aviance; backstage tea at the Lady Liberty pageant and a Christina Aguilera Pride show; the importance of the meet & greet; and leaving a certain Julie Era behind while embracing the stage!

In the news: Kandy Muse left the VMAs to poop; Jake Resnicow's team broke a runway record during NYFW; the new Miss'd America & Miss Yellow Rose Comedy Queen are crowned; the Pieces, Hardware & Playhouse guys announce a fourth venue underway this fall; Honey Davenport attended a recent musical reading; an  Oklahoma school principal gets flack for moonlighting as a drag queen.
