Thoughts on my reasons for writing

That’s quite the outfit. She was popular with all the photographers (I wonder why, LOL), and more than happy to pose.

 

I would love to have a quarter of her confidence….

Posing with confidence.

 

The dragon pendant is a nice touch (dragons always rock!). And the Penrose triangle tattoo is also cool.

so pretty I am, so sweet my tongue...

 

I really have one big unibrow across my entire forehead

I am not very much for the unibrow kind of neanderthal look,

Yeah call me posh :) or vain!

 

sometimes I just shaved all off for simplicity this in one of those times, it gives you kind of a sickly pale impression kind of cool if you ad some make-up!

 

Peace and Noise!

I've seen your photos, the adorable little kid hands wielding paintbrushes and glitter sticks. Sure, it all starts innocently enough. But I'm here to tell you that one day you're going to walk into your front hall and be confronted with a scene like this. Hot glue, canvases, paints, rub-ons, buttons, stamps, and everything you ever unthinkingly tossed in the junk drawer. If you're lucky, your child will remember to roll up the hall rug before she starts.

More Iguna than man, this dancing critter lives on the Dusty Rhino and thrives in the desert like a fiend on crack. Dooguana you rock.

Pink is just awesome in general, but I especially love it in the cute slouch socks. And she has a great smile.

These 3 guys were up at 530 am waiting for a nice sunrise but they failed. So they decided to jump like there’s no tomorrow. Come sunrise or not. Bwahahahaha!

These socks drove me to distraction in the mid to late 80s and early 90s. Seeing them again (especially in one of those bright colors — especially pink), brings back some fond memories.

 

Nicely posed, by request (thank you). I love the lifted sole, showing a beautiful contrast between stark, white shoes and a delightfully dirty sole.

this will be my icon for the year.

unedited.

i had a negative exposure here (i guess) and it turns out to be creative lol.

Dazzling lights, thunderous applause, and pure charisma electrify the air at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco during the RuPaul’s Drag Race: Werq the World tour. Bathed in golden light, the stage pulses with high-octane energy as queens and dancers deliver a seamless blend of theatricality, fashion, and fearless self-expression. Against a backdrop of shimmering graphics and dramatic lighting, every move radiates confidence and empowerment—core values that define both the show and the global phenomenon it has inspired.

 

The Werq the World tour is more than a stage production; it’s a living celebration of drag as performance art. Each segment is choreographed to perfection, merging dance, lip-sync, and storytelling in ways that showcase the artistry of drag as a craft rooted in transformation and liberation. The crowd—diverse, devoted, and visibly moved—responds in kind, cheering and waving as if the room itself were a single, collective heartbeat. The connection between performers and audience feels electric, uniting thousands of people through shared joy and creative expression.

 

The production design, awash in gold and glitter, exemplifies the extravagance and precision that make RuPaul’s Drag Race one of the most visually stunning franchises in the world. Every sequin, light cue, and movement is calculated to amplify the magic of the moment. Yet beneath the spectacle lies something more profound: the resilience of queer culture and the unapologetic celebration of individuality. In San Francisco—a city long synonymous with LGBTQ+ pride—the performance feels especially resonant. The venue’s rich cultural history as a site of political rallies and musical revolutions only amplifies the night’s emotional charge.

 

From powerhouse performances to heartfelt moments of connection, Werq the World embodies the essence of drag: to inspire, to provoke, and to entertain without compromise. Each performer brings their own aesthetic and story to the stage, transforming it into a runway of possibility where identity itself becomes art. For many in the audience, it’s not just a show—it’s a reminder that visibility and authenticity can change lives.

 

Under the sweeping lights of the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, the queens command the stage with poise, humor, and defiance, proving once again that drag is not imitation—it’s innovation. It’s a movement, a mirror, and a megaphone all at once.

The Utatan Project: I am me

---

or, i have a short attention span. i will often get bored of my hobbies. I played sudoku obsessively for a month last year. Now I don't play at all really. I really wanted to try painting a few years ago, so I did all my research, bought some supplies, planned out some projects. I haven't touched the stuff yet.

 

this alone is proof that I adore photography. 6 months of taking at least one shot every day (and usually hundreds more), and I have yet to get sick of it, get bored, or want to quit.

The Fishnets, antennae & Chicken-shaped Purse combo is unlikely to be replicated. Matching hair and jacket is also a creative approach.
