The "super deluxe" version of Ga's The Fame: Monster comes complete with 3-D glasses for viewing forthcoming Gaga visuals, the Book of Gaga, which is described as a highly-stylized coffee table book, the album itself with eight new songs, and a lock of her real hair. This is for die-hard Ga's only and all for just $114.98! Chump change! 
Good service should never be an exception (especially in this town). Here is a tid-bit from the Times that needs to be circulated amongst the WAMR crowd. Do your part and pass it on: 
B-Bar, home of the Tuesday night Beige party, played host to a very special birthday on Sunday when Matt Maddox celebrated his first annual 29th birthday with an afternoon soirée for 80. Mr. Maddox entertained on the outdoor patio with scrumptious hors de'ourves, cocktails and his renowned charm. The centerpiece of the celebration was the singing of "Happy Birthday" around a delicious Italian chocolate birthday cake from Veniero's bearing a boyhood likeness of everyone's favorite lawyer. Being Mr. Popular, Maddox's birthday was essentially a Fire Island reunion. Spotted: . . . textbook GPC, Nick George and Joey Fernandez making sure everything ran smoothly . . . executive recruiter to legal hotshots, Ru Bhatt . . . Maddox's FIP housemates, Joe Nuzzi, Walter Frye, Brent Pelton, and Tom Carberry (singing show tunes as usual) . . . ginge-daddy Ted Shields . . . blogger, Zee Bdr and his man..... language aficionado, corporate lawyer and the recently (and thankfully) un-mustached David Cody Dydek . . . Jon Biondo, Ryan Coutu, and Tim Horman, the party-trio behind Masterbeat.com . . .

Hola, Kitties. Here are this week's binge-and-purge guidelines. Soak it up, Kitty-Kats! Binge on the below and for God's sake, please purge the latter block of resentment. Reign it in, trannies. Regin it in.
es care of drink-making and inventory all whilst clearing glasses from tabletops as the night unfolds - leaving you with more time to attend to your guests. Bartenders saves money, too: Chug-a-lug Donna won't suck down all your Ketel if she has someone between her and the bottle. And here's a free bartender idea: next time one of your altruistic friends is collecting money for some AIDS walk, invite him to "celebrity bartend" at your house with a donation jar. Tips go to a good cause, your friends get buzzed and everybody wins!a) Show your friends who you went home with last night;While both of the above options are valid, only Facebook friend if you can handle not defriending him hours later when you decided he was a mistake, regret, etc. Be strategic in you Facebook friending. That way, when you do find a worthy ally, you don’t have to suffer the embrassment of going through “mutual friends,” AKA who you both have bumped gingies with.
or
b) See if his photos indicate he is attractive/worth another romp.
We can't believe we're still talking about these! We don’t care if you are from Long Island and you “started” the trend. Uggs are best for never. There’s nothing worse than seeing a twink tramp down the street with fake Prada shades and jeans tucked into Uggs – be it boy or girl. Why on earth would you wear suede shoes in the snow? Please spread the word, just like last year’s bout with syphilis, burn your Uggs. Think of it a shoe holocaust: Never again. Ever.
This soggy Saturday TTT paid a visit to the Landmark Sunshine on E Houston to see New York I Love You. Like Paris, je t'aime before it, NYILY is a tribute to a city told through true-to-life stories from different directors. Save for a few hiccups (like a character suggesting Balthazar for dinner and Pastis for dessert and a complete lack of homo-characters), the film's portrayal of New York and New Yorkers was pretty spot-on. It's a love note to the city, a reminder of how great and diverse the experience of living here is and best for day.

Confirmed: ticky-Tom will be launching a womenswear line in his namesake "very soon". Oh trannies, I can just see it now... sipping on stoli, mingling with Madge, all while peering over at the men's boutique sales staff across the street. It's a tranny dream come true.

With memories of summer tea dances fading as fast as our once beach-ready figures, the fall party season is revving right up. As partying goes, Fridays are low-key, Saturdays are a given but Sundays are blazing new tranny trails. Disco Daddy downstairs at The Delancy is a real treat. Cute fashion boys bump body parts next to more rugged daddy-types. The music is house disco (think Grace Jones with a house beat) and the party starts at a Monday morning-friendly 6pm. The Vandam party at Greenhouse took a nosedive during the summer but reintroduced itself as the place to be with their killer VMA afterparty. The space of legend is back in full force with a hot crowd of every type including 6'5" trannies who put on outrageous hourly shows upstairs. Vandam at Greenhouse is THE party for fall '09. Spotted on Sunday . . . Eastern Bloc resident DJ Josh Sparber and boyfriend . . . Columbia cutie Brad Mullins . . . Hooman Pishdad and Jeff Fraiman hosting their friend Mikey from DC . . . Ehab Ammar and Mickael Dahan . . . the prettiest drag girl of them all, Bijoux . . .
Work it out McQueen. Just what the Dr. ordered, a little inspiration from Alexander McQueens S/S '10 collection to get your weekend rolling on this gloomy Friday afternoon. Dress it up tonight and get festive. TTT is living it up haus party style-- the higher the heels, the better.
Washington, D.C. : the seat of power of the free world and home to many, many posh and polished M4M politicos. It's a district of marble Hellenic-revival buildings, serious socializing and secret homo-rendezvouses. DADT and DOMA are up for repeal but the city of Obama is no freewheeling Bohemia. This is a town where fun runs rampant, but buttoned-up and behind closed doors.The Tranny Times believes in love.

You've probably heard of the Phelps clan, even if you don't realize it. They're the family that make up The Westboro Baptist Church, a religious order that gets straight to the theological point on their webpage godhatesfags.com. The Westboro Baptist Church is well known for picketing burial services, usually those of downed soldiers and gays killed in hate crimes, but the group has also popped up in seemingly politically neutral places like Walter Cronkite's funeral in July. The founder, Fred Phelps, was a TV talkshow regular in the 90s, but is now an old man. His daughter, Shirley Phelps-Roper, is the one you'll see on Larry King Live and Fox News these days. The church recently paid a visit to Fort Greene to “teach the rebels of Brooklyn what good looks like, and you had better behave.” and were met with chants of "suck my dick" from local high school students.
This weekend TTT's full editorial team plus entourage traveled to Washington, D.C. to participate in the National Equality March. Below is an account of the event in photos.

Even in a city like New York, voicing our political opinions can be intimidating. In a city as liberal and forward-thinking as this, we often keep our thoughts to ourselves as not to be controversial or upset others. So imagine what courage it takes for an NFL football player on a team in the deep South to attach his name to the National Equality March, which takes place in Washington, D.C. this Sunday, but that is exactly what New Orleans Saints linebacker Scott Fujita is doing.Zirin: Scott, you made the decision to lend your name and endorse the National Equality March. Why did you choose to do that?
Fujita: I think for me it was a cause that I truly believe in. By in large in this country the issue of gay rights and equality should be past the point of debate. Really, there should be no debate anymore. For me, in my small platform as a professional football player, I understand that my time in the spotlight is probably limited. The more times you have to lend your name to a cause you believe in, you should do that.
As an adopted child of biracial parents, Fujita's heart for gay rights centers on parenthood:
"A year ago or two years ago, I remember reading about an initiative that was proposed in the state of Arkansas. It was some kind of measure that was aimed at preventing adoptions by single parents. Now, the way I read that and the way that I translated that language was that only heterosexual, married couples could adopt children. As an adopted child that really bothered me. I asked myself, what that is really saying is that the concern with one's sexual orientation or one's sexual preference outweighs what's really important, and that's finding safe homes for children, for our children. It's also saying that we'd rather have kids bounce around from foster home to foster home throughout the course of their childhood, than end up in a permanent home, where the parent, whether that person's single or not, gay or straight. Either way, it doesn't matter. It's a home that's going to be provided for a kid who desperately needs a home. As an adopted child, that measure really bothered me. It just boggles my mind because good, loving homes for any child are the most important thing."Like any good sport, Scott Fujita is humble about what he's doing for the rights of gay families:
"I don't think it's that courageous. I think I have an opinion, that I wish was shared by everybody."Scott Fujita, TTT salutes your courage whether you like it or not. It takes a big man to come out in support of a controversial cause that doesn't directly involve him. Mazel! and you'll be in our hearts as the TTT editorial team participates in Sunday's march.
Sorry Karl. Not even the prince of fashion can pull off clogs. Mr. Lagerfeld loaded the SS'10 Chanel runway in Paris this week with hay bins and country garb, said to be inspired by the large farm estate he just purchased in Vermont. But the line is drawn with the clogs. These are for lesbian chefs and Dutch gardeners only! They may have worked the catwalk in Paris, but we better not see these trying to work Bedford Avenue. A definite miss and certainly not best for day.
