Happy Pride!! So much fun again this year at Pride Toronto, including the Saturday night main event, DRAG BALL featuring a who’s-who in Drag including Headliner SASHA COLBY, Season 15 RuPaul’s Drag Race winnner. The Drag Ball took place at Nathan Phillips Square, a five-hour celebration of Drag that filled the outside of City Hall.
Earlier in the week also was annual fixture Starry Night, taking place as part of the Green Space Festival at The 519 Centre, also a huge draw. Like the Drag Ball this featured the hottest names in Drag, both north and south of the Border, a tour-de-force four-hour-long showcase!
What was unique about this year’s edition of Starry Night was that all three headliners: Gottmik, Kerri Colby and Gigi Goode are transgender. Absolutely historic!
Toronto got so lucky this year. A pure joy finally getting to some of my favourite beloved Drag Queens including all-time fave, RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 14 champion Willow Pill who headlined Disco Disco Thursday night. She is a genius.
So much respect for Drag Queens and the amount of skill, devotion and innovation that goes into their Art. Hope your Pride is amazing! 🌈❤️

If you follow me on my Social channels, you know I love me some RuPaul’s Drag Race! The ever-competitive Season 14 remains one of my favourite seasons of all time, my favourite Drag Queen of all-time WILLOW PILL being crowned winner that season. Coincidentally she studied at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson) back in the day as an International Student.
The top five finalists of Season 14 – Willow Pill, Lady Camden, Angeria Van Michaels, Daya Betty and Bosco – landed at Toronto’s Danforth Music Hall last night for their FANTASTIC FIVE of 14, joining forces to in a tour-de-force of Drag for a revue show!
We know Willow was supposed to appear at Toronto Pride last summer but couldn’t make it out and I wasn’t going to get this opportunity pass! Love all the Top Five, including Lady Camden who I had a chance meeting with last Summer, but Willow is my Queen.
And apparently Oscar Iscaac’s too!
