The equivalent of the World Cup for queens has kicked off in true drag style in this month, stilettos flying all over the place. Rupaul’s Drag Race is back with a bang, draggin’ in a gaggle of girls ranging from funny to fishy to… Kim Chi! But these shiny new queens wouldn’t be here without the fierce mamas who stood before them – radiating beacons who bravely made a livelihood from gender-bending performances in harsher times, and looking fabulous along the way.

Like a frightening majority of us, as a child I was rewarded for good behavior with fast food. Aside from giving rise to the epidemic of childhood obesity, this has triggered a mass effect of greasy nostalgia. Much like Proust and his madeleine, the lightest hint of a salted McDonald’s fry transports a child of the 1990s to a simpler time of afternoons watching Nickelodeon and actively committing the evolution of Pokémon breeds to memory. My particular brand of artery-clogging flashback comes courtesy of Chick-Fil-A, a chain restaurant of chicken-based deliciousness that is a hallmark of the American South. But most of you probably know them for their highly public anti-gay agenda.

And who the hell am I? If you’ve been following the blog at all, you may have wondered out of which horny hole this perverted punk has stepped. I won’t reveal too much – a bit of mystery is sexy, right? But a few things may be in order.
First, I was born in that part of the world that most people think is actually Canada, but it’s not. I was born in Alaska. Who would have thought that place could produce more than oil and Sarah Palin – two decidedly unsexy things.
Second, I’m no stranger to sex on screen. I appeared in two arty porn films with DVD releases: one in San Francisco and one here in Berlin. There may be other footage of me out there, but if so, I don’t know where. And yup, I moved to Berlin from gay ol’ San Francisco, where I learned to be a proper fag and how to be a writer all at the same time.
There’s more from San Francisco coming your way via Dandy Dicks, so stay tuned.
But I left San Francisco. And took my heart with me. Five years now in Berlin and I can’t think of a better place to be. I’ve been making it here as a writer ever since and I’m happy to report there’s no going back.
I think I’ve given you enough of the basics. More you’ll just have to find out either through this blog or a little Google. But I hope with that you stick around Dandy Dicks – for this blog and of course, the boys!
