Pride Guide 2009

Bitch, you look fierce

With high-energy parties happening every night, “Can’t Stop. Won’t Stop.” is a fitting theme for Pride. But what to wear?

THURSDAY: MADONNARAMA

Once upon a time, a gay icon accessorized with rosaries and “Boy Toy” belts. Keep this is mind for Madonnarama — you don’t have to be like everyone else and bring that baby Jesus. Glow-in-the-dark rosary, $1.59. Holy Family Art (563 Parliament, 416-925-9974). Madonnarama happens at Fly (8 Gloucester) June 25, 10pm. $10 at www.prismtoronto.com.




FRIDAY: DEGENDERIT

To chantay or sashay? That is the question. An extra four inches for the local queens and kings at Degenderit: A Drag & Burlesque Extravaganza should put the necessary bass in your walk. Highest Heel “Glitzee” pump, $74. Miss C’s Closet (in the laneway at 531 Yonge, near Maitland, 647-345-3780). Degenderit happens at Goodhandy’s (120 Church) June 26, 8pm. $10 at Come As You Are (701 Queen W., 416-504-7934); $13 at door.




SATURDAY: BEEF BALL

Prada and McQueen did “Master and Servant” this fall season, so something that says “Dad likes leather” might be a wise investment even after the Beef Ball. Leather police shirt, $345. Northbound Leather (586 Yonge, 416-972-1037). The Beef Ball happens at the Opera House (735 Queen E.) June 27, 10pm. $40 at Northbound Leather.




SUNDAY: LICK IT

Queer West Muffia: stock your shower with Venus breasts and belly prior to sweating it out at Lick-It Pride — if you wake up with company on Monday, she’ll appreciate it. Lavender-scented “Venus” soap, $5. Wise Daughters Craft Market (3079B Dundas W., 416-761-1555). Lick-It Pride happens at The Barn (418 Church) June 28, 8pm. $20 at www.ticketbreak.com; $25 at door.
