The Gay Center, in conjunction with the Gender Identity Project is having a transgender dance this Friday (May 15, 2009) from 8:30pm – 11:59pm.

I was in the very first trans committee at the Center to organize and plan this “prom” style dance four years ago. It’s lots of fun, it’s free, and it’s a safe space. It’s in West Greenwich Village so you don’t even have to worry about blending in. For those of you who are transgender and not gay, have no fear: all we do inside is sit around all day listening to Pet Shop Boys while researching encyclopedias on awesome drape-matching skills to dazzle straight people. Just about every familiar face in the NY area transgender circuit popped in when we ran in in 2005-2006.

This year, the theme is “Hollywood in the 90s.” If you know nothing about acting, then you can dress up like Keanu Reeves and hope someone who dresses like David Geffen can fall in love with you and give you a major career.

Me, I like very, very long, big things that will make me scream and cry and beg for it to stop because it’s hurting me! combined with the fact that I have absolutely no taste, the choice is clear: dress like Kevin Costner and pretend I’m in Waterworld.
