Every Thursday, we give you this week's LGBTQ to-do list.
' Have you ever wondered what you'd look like in drag? Tonight, let loose and slip yourself into a garter and a pair of hose. If you like what you see, hit up Daly's Irish Pub (4201 Comly St., 215-533-2080) at 9 p.m., for free, where Donna St John will be hosting an amateur drag contest. It couldn't hurt. If you lose, no one will necessarily know it was you under that tussled wig, and if you win, then you just may have found a new calling. Give it shot. $50 is up for grabs.
' There's been a lot of excitement going on lately, especially with OutFest and the Equality March last weekend, so if you ask me it's time to take a moment to chill. I vote for a nice, relaxing walk in the park. On Sat., Oct. 17 at 11 a.m., for free,' join Philadelphia Family Pride members as they lead a kid-friendly excursion through Wissahickon Valley Park. This is a perfect opportunity to gawk at the beautifully changing fall foliage and not the shaking toosh in front of you on the dance floor. The group will be meeting at Valley Green Inn (Vallley Green Rd. & Wissahickon Dr., 215-247-1730). Bring a picnic lunch to nibble when the hike is complete.
' If you're like me, you love a good diva fest. That's why Silk City (500 Spring Garden St., 215-592-8838) gets my Dance Party of the Week award. On Sat. Oct. 17 at 10 p.m., for $5, three reigning, chart-topping princesses will be crowned the newest Queens of Pop. Farewell Mariah, Madonna and Whitney; hello Lady Gaga (pictured), Beyonc' and Britney. To celebrate the latest coronation into divadom, DJ Deejay will be spinning some of their dance floor favorites, including "Poker Face," "Get Me Bodied" and the now classic "Slave 4 U." It's about time Britney is recognized as the queen that she is. I bet Christina's going to be pissed.
' I'm not usually one for scary things, but sometimes a good haunted house is hard to resist ' especially if I'm not the only screaming dude in the place. On Wed., Oct. 21 at 7 p.m., for $20, there will be an LGBTQ night at Terror Behind the Walls at Eastern State Penitentiary (2124 Fairmount Ave., 215-236-5111). New this year is a long-deserted medical wing where visitors can explore bloodstained operating rooms, recovery wards for the craziest mental patients, and even a chilly, musty morgue where there still may be a body or two lying about. I'm getting scared just thinking about it. Be sure to take a strong man or a butch lesbian to protect you.
