I heard that on this week’s Project Runway they let Tyra shoot three of the contestants

There’s an ostensibly gay bar in Brooklyn I go to sometimes—it has drag night ads in the windows, pride flags a-go-go—that seems to never have gay people in it. One of the great mysteries of my life currently. When is this place actually gay? No one seems to know
On the television series FROM, Maria Full of Grace star Catalina Sandino Moreno says the phrase “hobo eggs.”
I thought the arena concert Les Miz at Radio City was like… spectacular?
