The Gayest Night Known to Man: Scissor Sisters at Bowery Ballroom
Any Scissors Sisters show is Homo Central, but how MANY Scissors Sisters shows actually have MOTHERF*CKING CHER at them (below)? Thank god Liza wasn’t also at the Bowery Ballroom tonight, otherwise there may have been a gay sensory overload!
The show was nothing short of stellar–I’d never seen the Scissor Sisters live before, and they certainly did not disappoint. Fun, sassy, and totally campy, the gays and fag hags (like myself) danced their little boot-ays off like it was the last night of the Roxy.
Since it was their first performance in about 9 months, they played both old and new songs, and the diva-rific Ana Matronic told us she called Madonna a “‘tard…a leotard” in her dreams, heralded Earth Day, and demanded the revival of dropping acid.
After the show ended the lights did not come up, dance music kept playing and the main floor of the Bowery Ballroom morphed into a mini Kurfew with boys twirling around to the electronic beats. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them are STILL dancing right now…
SET LIST: Take Your Mama/ I Can’t Decide/ Tits on the Radio/ She’s My Man/ Laura/ Paul McCartney/ Everybody Wants the Same Thing/ Kiss You Off/ Mary/ The Other Side/ I Don’t Feel Like Dancing/ Comfortably Numb/ Music Is the Victim/ Land of a Thousand Words. ENCORE: Filthy Gorgeous
More over at the Music Slut.
UPDATE: Report from Bao on Sunday’s show, instead of Cher, Karl Lagerfeld and KYLIE FREAKING MINOGUE were at the show!!!!
Who the hell is that woman dressed like a hootchie mama on crack?
Oh crap! It’s Cher, of course!

Color me shocked whenever I found out that Ana is transgendered. I would have never guessed in a million years.

you spend more time gawking at the VIP and the crowd than watching the band.

i love that they came right out with “Take Your Mama Out.” It was a knockout punch, from which none of us recovered

16. Mr. Secret | 4:08 pm on April 24th, 2006
Eeek, I hope I wasn’t one of the “twirling boys” who stuck around after SS left the stage. I was there, and I was dancing, but I hope I don’t come across as a Kurfew boy. LOL…
Great pics!!

19. j33179 | 2:38 pm on April 25th, 2006

20. Nono | 12:00 pm on April 27th, 2006
Ana is NOT transgendered! She was born a woman and appears to be very much still a woman.

There are now four children sleeping on the floor next to the babies. And weÒre off to sleep with the sound of a contented mum purring carrying through from the maternity drawer next door.

I definately held back, esp. on the touchy stuff. I wondar if I shuld just tell the whole truth; I fell that if I went into the relly deep stuff, it might read too unfocusedly.

These ornate brass lockbusters looked like they opened the door to a secret garden× or maybe Bluebeard’s worst room! It was like receiving a box of jewels.

My mind thought of only one thing now. I pulled off those panties in one quick movement, exposing those tight lips of hers. As fast as I could my clothes became a pile on the ground, my cock stuck straight out, begging to for that pussy of hers. I came close to her, kneeling just a tad and brushing the tip against her soft mouth. Opening her mouth I inched my cock pass her lips, over her tongue, into her throat. She looked so lovely, sitting naked on the cold floor. I pushed into her throat and pulled out, letting her saliva moisten my rod. I ran my fingers through her hair. I pulled out, her mouth stayed open, tempting me to put it back in. No, I took her shoulders and laid her on her back. I lied down on top of her, where I guided my cock into her shaved cunt. I pushed those lips open, pushing into that wet hole of hers. I started fucking her like mad. Pushing into her, deeper and deeper, pushing her whole body forward against the cold tiles. A soft moan escaped her mouth, along with her whispering the name Tommy. She started panting, her breasts rising up and down. I kept going in and out, ready to explode at any minute. My true mind got the better of me. I stopped what I was doing and looked at this panting beauty. I didn’t want to get her pregnant. I had enough since to pull out of her but not to stop fucking her. I flipped her onto her back. I spat on my cock and got it even more juiced up. With my legs I spread hers open. I knelt in between them and took hold of her hips, raising her ass to the air. My hard cock poked her tight little ass hole. I didn’t work my way into it, I just pushed with my cock and pulled her ass with my hand. I squeezed right into that little ass of her. Her face rested on her cheek. She made this odd face, a mix of pain and wonder. I fucked that ass of hers. Pulling that ass into me, feeling the sensation of her warm little hole. The sweat started rolling down my face, falling to her arched back. She started to moan in pain, “Tommy…” This isn’t Tommy, I thought, this is your new fuck buddy. I felt it climbing through my cock to the head, the need to finish. I started pumping harder and faster, making her face pucker harder. I pulled her deep into me, far as I could and let my load go somewhere into her body. I lied there a bit out of breath on top of her. I leaned forward and gave her another kiss. No response.

Of course, that can happen between men and women too, but I think there is something to the intensity of certain relationships between women that can knock you off your feet, both during and after.

Hello World!
So much about a sex change for Ana - what (?) -at London’s concert recently she looked very obviously pregnant.
Is this -or will it be -a ‘Snippet’?
