Ever since May, Lea DeLaria (Orange Is the New Black), has been hosting a brand new monthly brunch series at 54 Below. At each edition of Brunch Is Gay, DeLaria brings out a new stellar guest and sings a completely new setlist. August 11th's show will feature Tony winner Gabriel Ebert and center around the music of Cole Porter.

This weekend, on the heels of 10 new Emmy® nominations, media company World of Wonder (“RuPaul’s Drag Race,” “Owning Manhattan,” “The Eyes of Tammy Faye”) hosted the annual RuPaul’s DragCon at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Check out photos here!

Michelle paid tribute to Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, Chita Rivera, Stockard Channing, Dionne Warwick, and many others, each song revealing new sides of Alexis and showcasing her range as both a singer and an actress. With the change of a lyric, she could shift from funny to touching, from charming to deep. Alexis exudes star quality.
