Overheard in Orlando: Sassy struts, ooh Bearracuda, Divine Grace and LGBT vacations

Sassy that Walk  
Fashion designer, Marco Marco put on one hell of a runway show for L.A. Fashion Week on Oct. 18. The runway show even went viral thanks to the voluptuous Dexter Mayfield and the teen who gave the fierce shade, Brendan Jordan. The show featured what seemed like an endless amounts of hot boys, club kids and gender-bending performers and trans-women. One such model in the line-up was Orlando’s own Sassy Devine. This was Sassy’s second year walking for Marco Marco. Sassy was joined by former Orlando resident and former RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant Detox and many more!

Oh, BEARRACUDA!
Calling themselves a party for bears, cubs, otters, beefcakes and other wildlife, Bearracuda is an international bear party with special events throughout the United States, cruises and international sites (over 40 cities). Started in San Francisco in 2006, Bearracuda has become one of the largest gay bear dance parties. Making its Orlando debut, Bearrcuda will be invading the newly remodeled Stonewall Bar Orlando on Nov. 21. The night will feature DJ Ryan Jones of L.A. and also bring in a lot of hot go-go bears. We’re already stocking up on honey for the weekend.

The Divine Miss Divine
Divine Grace recently flew up to New York City to participate in the New York Restoration Project’s “Hell Night on Hulaween Island,” which was honoring Bette Midler herself. In full Winnie Sanderson (Hocus Pocus) drag, Divine Grace won the $1,000 costume contest, which was judged by Michael Kors, and even got to meet and pose for a photo with Bette and her fellow Hocus Pocus co-star, Kathy Najimy – charming the heck out of the duo. Divine did take to Facebook, calling out everyone who trashes men for dressing up as the Sanderson sisters. As Divine noted, her costume beat out the typical half naked muscle boy!

AL Aboard
Now that Parliament House is in the queer – we mean, the clear – with the whole bankruptcy thing, it looks like the brand is further expanding. Al Ferguson of Al and Chuck Travel mentioned they have not only partnered up with the Parliament House, but they will also be working with Wyndham Resorts in creating LGBT-centric vacation packages that will include travel and lodging. Knowing the parties involved, it looks like it will include entertainment as well. AlandChuck.travel was best known for providing the travel for the girls on the early seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race and were the ones who also offered the first Drag Race at Sea cruises. Next up, gay cruises to Cuba!
