Vancouver Pride Week – Wednesday

Looking for some trouble to get into tonight? Try these:

1) Shop With Pride at Holt Renfrew

So I’m pretty sure I didn’t get invited because they looked at my postal code and snort-laughed me straight off their distribution list. Still, someone else sent this to me to taunt and tease, so I’m here to invite you to shop shop shop till you drop drop drop.

2) Celebration of Light – Mexico

I’ll be heading to our first annual Everything Wrapped in Bacon party in hopes that EVERYTHING will be wrapped in bacon. It is Pride right? Show starts at 10pm and English Bay will be a waking nightmare. Still, there’s nothing quite like the Celebration of Light. It makes Vancouver soooo purdy.

3) Celebrities Pride Week Imaginarium – Priape Presents Dirty Sanchez from Drag Race 2 and Samuel Colt

Celebrities’ live porn shows are legendary. My personal favourite being that pornstar who shoved a red dildo you know where and strutted his way around the stage like a rooster. A close second was when the Flame and the Dame’s Tommy D was pulled on stage during Reese Rideout’s routine last July.
