Best for Summer Entertaining

Even the trashiest of trannies knows that the well-appointed home is key for happiness. But what about the throughly thought-out beach house? With Fire Island looming, our attention turns to poolside entertaining. Face it, FIP is about the beach, the teas, the houses, and the romance (no matter how brief or sandy). But it's also about putting your lifestyle on display. The quarter share crowd can be as uppity as any UES dowager so you can't expect your landlord's standard issue Ikea to pass muster at your afternoon cocktail party. This is why we love LAPlates. The online mom and pop shop rolled out their first collection of monogrammable, customizable, melamine plates 2006 and have grown their products to include super-cool coasters, cups and cutting boards ideal for slicing lemons on the lanai. Most importantly, LAPlates are a green solution to glass-free entertaining; no more wasteful and ugly disposables.

Best for Day 39

We all love a good Ga! Even the little straight(ish) 6th grade boys. This homage shows off his own style as well as his fairly advanced keyboard skills. Pay no attention to the horrified looks coming from the girls in the background, they are clearly just jealous.

Best for Friday

You know summer is well on its way when the new roof installation at the Met has opened. Here is what the Met has to say:

"The monumental bamboo structure, ultimately measuring 100 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 50 feet high, will take the form of a cresting wave that bridges realms of sculpture, architecture, and performance."

It's a great place to meet friends after work. Have a drink, mingle, network and enjoy the beautiful views before the heat was you sweating through your lightweight cashmere.

Best for Saturday Retail

With forecasted highs in the upper 80s, Jonathan Adler could not have picked a better day to celebrate spring than tomorrow. Luckly for him, New York weather will provide a perfect backdrop for his in-store soirées across the city. Pop in for 15% off, plus snacks and cocktails. If you're lucky, you may meet the man himself. Love a cocktail, love a sale!

Worst for Day : Countess LuAnn's "Money Can't Buy You Class"

THE COUNTESS LuAnn de Lessepes' single "Money Can't Buy You Class" is simply painful, not that we expected any better. For all that she's got going for her (the show, her figure, that Kathleen Turner/Marlboro Miles voice), LuAnn should stick to her strengths and avoid her liabilities, such as singing. It's hard on the ears and the heart.
Worst of all, from genre, to beat, to haughty affectation, "Money Can't Buy You Class" is a complete knock-off of one of the best disco songs with a teachable message of all time, Eartha Kitt's "Where is My Man?" If you are new to disco with a message, we suggest you skip The Countess and head for The Queen. Eartha.

Best for (To)night :

Listen-up trannies: GUMBO, the Thursday night gay party in DUMBO (which has been lauded as the gay party by Out, Time Out NY, Next Magazine, and, of course, TTT) has moved 24 hours down the calendar to Fridays. Tonight, shamble on down to Galapagos Art Space (16 Main Street, Brooklyn) for a night of boozing and cruising with the most eligible guys in the key 24-36 gay demo. This isn't Boiler Room so bring your best cocktail conversation and your game face. FYI for regulars: Unlike the Thursday night iteration, the new GUMBO starts at 10 and goes until 4. Two-for-one drinks from 12-1am! RSVP via Facebook.

Best For Day : 4/20

Today is April 20th, known by college kids as 4-20, the high holy day of St. Mary J. Juana. Some say the use of "420" originated L.A. police code for pot smoking in progress. Others claim 4:20pm was the time high schools in California let out in the '70s and the numeric slang refers to the Left coast's after school activity of choice. Debating the origins of "420" is a little too stoner for our tastes. When it comes to weed, we follow the WWMD? (What Would Mischa Do?) rule, which is, smoke it if you got it. And if you are on a beach, in a nightclub or the driver's seat of a convertible parked outside Fred Segal, well, all the better. 4/20 is best for 4/20.

Best for Brunch

Kittichai at the Thompson Hotel is certainly not the first place one would think to make a brunch reservation. But after suggested by a long time TTT friend, we decided to check it out. $20 may only get you one drink at the exclusive summertime rooftop club; but for brunch, it will get you an entree and unlimited signature brunch cocktails. Not overly crowded and certainly no sense of a hurried meal, this is a new TTT pick. Great for a gloomy spring afternoon and certainly great for spotting. The menu is eclectic and the attractive wait staff was more than accommodating. A great place to get tipsy before traipsing up to Soho for a little afternoon shopping.

Best for Easter

Easter Sunday, three friends, Victor Jefferys II, Jefferson Scott Lincoln and Clinton Swett threw a "celebration of the resurrection" in McCarren Park. The gathering of "ex-patriots, wanderers, adventurers, fortune seekers and Holly Go-Lightlies" called for "church-chic attire" which guests executed as a blend of super-prep and '20s/'30s sportswear. The table held an ample spread of delicious picnic staples including pitchers of white sangria. Nearby, friends played croquet and corn hole while Jefferys snapped portraits of guests lounging on a white bed.

Best for Day : Blond Tips

Every tranny thinks she's freakin' Emily Post. From "the Countess" LuAnn to New York Magazine everyone has an opinion on correct etiquette. With all this "expertise" floating around, how come most New Yorkers act like junkyard dogs when it comes to common courtesy? The need for clear-cut, useful rules of decorum is why we LOVE the simple, direct, indisputable advice given by PR maven Susan Blond in her video series, "Blond Tips". The video above handles one of New Yorkers' most uncomfortable moments, the awkward moment the restaurant bill arrives. (Younger men, pay special attention to "when the other party offers to pay". If you aren't going to split, at least REACH for your wallet. It's a simple gesture that prevents your date from feeling like a john.) Love a good tip! "Blond Tips" are best for day.

Best for Shabbat

I mean... with Pesach around the corner and TTT's close proximity to the Hassid hood (not to mention our obsession with Gaga and the Jews) this definitely goes down as one of the all time BFD. A big round of applause to our own Jewish princess Stephanie Benatar for sending this in!

Best for Day : Most Watched Ever

Lady Gaga is the most-watched video artist of all time. According to online analytics company Visible Measures, Gaga is the first video artist to achieve one billion online video views. As impressive as that is, the number may be far larger: Visible Measures is only tallying the views of "Poker Face" (374,606,128 views), "Bad Romance" (360,020,327) and "Just Dance" (272,941,674). If the count were to include "Paparazzi" and "Telephone", Gaga could easily surpass the 1.5 billion views mark. Love a good record holder, love a good Gaga. Winning is best for day.

Best for Day 38

Jude Law and Dior- what more could you need to spice you your hump day?

Best for Tuesday: Sugarbabies @ The Townhouse Tonight!

Come for a quick drink after work, or stay a little later for some boozy cabaret. Sugarbabies is always a treat! Sugarbabies Spring Boy Drive is a great way to meet a few new faces, catchup with a some old ones and salute the warm months ahead, looking forward to seeing all of you tonight.

Tranny Daytrip: Stone Barns

With a tickle of spring in the air, we are itching to break the weekend routine: afternoon movies and lengthy indoor boozy-brunches. Though, without a car, day-tripping is not always easy. Stone Barns, a short Metro-North ride away, is a perfect Sunday afternoon excursion. Stone Barns offers a variety of activities including a winter farm market, touring the gardens and grounds and the gourmand's Blue Hill Cafe. Go up with friends or take your new spring beau- a great inexpensive lit-eral breath of fresh air. For those who don't want to drop the price of a new pair of TF's on dinner at Blue Hill, take advantage of the winter root vegetables and meats and prepare a Sunday feast back in the Burg.

Hold the Phone

Tonight kiddies! If you aren't at the Whipped Thursday night Soriee or your favorite charity's annual event, tune in to E! at 11:30 and catch the world premiere of Gaga's newest work or art (in collaboration with Beyonce). If not tonight, at least you'll have something to look forward to in the office on Friday morning. Ra-gas unite!

Best for Day 37

Karl is one of the few reigning trannies with the budget and the creativity to keep pushing his shows to the limit. Consistent with the "snowy" theme we love him for, the King of Fashion showed his Chanel FW '10 collection amidst icebergs with the models trekking though a freezing pool of shallow water in faux fur trimmed everything. Karl was apparently inspired by the Ice Hotel in Sweden, although, for the record, he has never been there.

Karl, for the record IS BFD.

Worst for Day

The "shocking" story of the elected official who built a career supporting legislature that denies rights to gays and lesbians being forced out of the closet after a scandal is so familiar it's cliché. Yesterday, California state Sen. Roy Ashburn (R) told conservative talk show host Inga Barks, "I am gay." in a radio interview. Last week, Ashburn was pulled over by police leaving Faces, a gay nightclub in Sacramento, with another man in the passenger seat. He also told Barks that he will not seek public office after his term ends this year and asked people to pray for him.
Uh no. Pray for the poor guy caught in your Chevy Tahoe that night! His friends will never let him live that down. Pray for the gay and lesbian couples and families robbed of their rights for fourteen years. Pray for the individuals who live more honestly than you, people whose lives you, as a public servant, made more difficult. For projecting your self-hatred onto others you receive no prayers, or sympathy. But if we are passing Faces in Sacramento California at happy hour and see your Tahoe parked out front, we'll come in to let you by us margaritas. Asshole.

Best for Day 36

The sexiest tidbit to come out of the Vanity Fair Oscar party is that Anderson Cooper brought his boyfriend, Ben Maisani. The only photo of the two at the party is the one above showing Anderson and Ben's backs as they chat with the Seinfelds. Sources say A.C. and his b.f. sat at a table with Mary Richardson Kennedy, Aaron Sorkin, Katherine Ross, Ron Howard, Tabitha Soren and Michael Lewis. Could this, in addition to Cooper's firehouse-turn-love nest purchase, be a soft opening for the big, "Yep. I'm gay!"? This toe out of the glass closet is best for day.

Best for Day 35

Love a mini-Gaga! Best for day!
