V-WEB: Our Weekly Obsession (Dec.10/09)

With Lady Gaga in town yesterday, today and tomorrow it's only fitting that she's this week's obsession. More like our obsession of the year. Personally, we like that she says "fuck" a lot and credits a majority of her success to her rabid gay following. Gaga praises the bond between her and audiences, particularly the Marys, in her interviews, so when those two forces collide in her live show we hear the result is nothing short of breath-stopping and frantic.

V-Rag is on the scene for tonight's performance at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. What could be more suitable than that venue, seriously? First of all the actual Queen Elizabeth just met Lady Gaga. Second of all, the Queen E has played host to so many fabulous and spectacular shows Lady Gaga's carnival will feel right at home. We're excited. Here is the first of five clips of a really good interview Gaga did with Noisevox that, if you're at all interested in who she is and what she represents, speaks volumes.

December "Food & Drink" Issue

December is sort of like gay Christmas... Oh no wait, it is gay Christmas! And gay Chanukah gay Kwanzaa and even gay Muharram! So whatever holiday our readers our celebrating, this is the issue of V-Rag to get it off with a bang. We have a great food and drink spectacular, with profiles on some of our favourite local bars and restaurants. And just as a little early Christmas present, these fine establishments have provided their signature food and drink recipes so you can make your own gourmet holiday meals. Also in this issue, we catch up with local superstar Bif Naked and talk about spirituality, surviving cancer, marrital bliss... oh and lots of bananas! We've added yet another monthly column to our already packed roster with Wasted Thoughts, a regular from Don't Quit Your Gay Job's hottie Rob Easton. And speaking of hot bar boys, that's the theme of our latest photo spread, Hot Cup of Cheer. We've rounded up some of the hottest bartenders from around Vancouver for sexy Santas, reindeers, elves and... Mrs. Claus? Oh dear, where did it all go wrong?

V-WEB: Our Weekly Obsession (Dec.3/09)

This week the thing we're gagging on is really big. Like, wouldn't even fit down our throats.

That's because it's a party, called SPIT, and it's going down tomorrow night at the Anza Club in East(ish) Vancouver. The organizers are calling it a sex-positive event. In other words, be prepared for lots of making out and, well, other stuff. But there's also going to be sensuous performances from Rasputin R. Gray and Vital Divine.

With all the fun alternative queer events going down at the Anza lately, this should be a good one.
