This issue was a doozey to try and put together. I don't think we've had an edition quite as jam-packed full of stuff as this one! Definitely a full month's worth of reading here, kids. First off, we'd just like to give a warm congratulations to Fraser, the winner of Gay Top Model. He's the perfect choice to represent Vancouver as we go into a new decade, and a pleasure to work with. Photographer Ian Sheh shot his winning cover for V-Rag as well as a fashion spread featured on inside.
Lots of great talent in this issue including two New York legends, Sherry Vine and Joey Arias. The pair have been performing together for decades and Vancouver is lucky enough to host them both this month! Also, we managed to catch up with the one and only Andy Butler of Hercules & Love Affair. He gives all of you lucky readers a sneak peak at the brand new album and the inspiration behind it.
May is a very busy month for events in Vancouver, and V-Rag is the place to get the scoop on all of them. The 2010 Vancouver International Burlesque Festival hits the Rickshaw Theatre May 6-9 and we've included a guide to all the goings-on. On the drag side of things, the annual Wiggle party turns Sweet Sixteen and the New York-inspired ball Opulence returns to Vancouver on May 5 at the Lotus. Oh wait, this is Cotton's job to tell you all this stuff! She rounds up our host of regular features (which seems to be growing by the month), and joins Joan-E's Rag, Terry Costa's Live On Stage, and Rob Easton's Wasted Thoughts. Yet another addition this month is Food:Notes, courtesy of PINQ.CA's Ryan Bazeley, where we review the best new restaurants in our fair city. Now dig in!
