Here's what you've been waiting for-- the lineup for the 20th annual BHOF Pageant competition on June 5!

woo-hoo !!

Sharing a booth with Talloolah, Katherine, Paula, Deanna, Renea's Mom, Keri & Torchy ... (swoon)

BOYLESQUE???????!!!!!!!!!

Yeah ... It is a very small part of the neo movement. I dint get it & usually excuse myself to the bar/restroom on the rare occassion that someone is performing.

I will say that Ive seem Evil Hate Monkey before & he is an absolute riot ... What's odd is he usually performs as a team w/ Trixie Little, but they got separate slots for this year's BHoF ... As a team, the put on an incredible show.

Thank Goodness I only have to suffer through two other acts. But, given the status of this show, they're bound to be good.

I'm just pissed that Talloolah didn't make the cut, but I'm sure 100's of other girls didn't make it, either. Kiss Von Teasa did make it, and even though I love her to death and she's one hellavu cool chick, I think Talloolah has more talent than Kisa does, any day of the week.

I can't wait to see the Legends line-up on Friday.

Was Evil Hate Monkey ever on the remake of the gong show?

I saw the pics of him and am pretty sure I saw that duo perform (or attempt to) on a show similar to the gong show a couple of years ago. They made it about 4 seconds.

Dunno ... He has a wild appearance, but they're funny as hell. They've been around for a while and they travel & perform extensively. It would suprise me if they were on the show.

My friend Tim Montieth was on America's GotTalent & although I didn't see the show, I hear his reception wasn't pretty. Everytime Tim performs, he brings the house down with his hilarious puppetry.

There is a lot of animosity within the (local) BQ community against that show. They're always bugging the girls to submit applications, then never get back to them.

Would suprise me = would *Not* suprise me ...
