Get on the Queer Bash guest list!

Everyone’s favourite dress-up mashup is back Feb 25 at The Cobalt! Queer Bash is at the top of my list of best Vancouver queer nightlife. Since Pride 2011, the East Van favourite has been mostly MIA, popping up every now and then like a red bump on your cock. You don’t wanna miss the True Blood Vamps vs Hollywood Glam-ps edition, because who knows when the next one will be?!

I can get YOU plus one on the guest list (a value of $30). All you have to do is email the answer to this question to blitzandshitz@xtra.ca:

What is the name of the actress nominated for a 2012 Oscar for her portrayal of the actress in the above poster? Brownie points to whoever names both actresses. I’ll be picking the winner at random Friday, Feb 24.

Go!
