at the photoshoot for the BGJW wrap party last night.
Photo tweeted by Tara!
So apparently there was a wrap party for BGJW Season 2 last night somewhere. And some people came. And some photos happened.
And that is pretty much the extent of my knowledge on that.
I was busy plowing through this project in which every time I went to make a final PDF of said project, my software chuckled quietly to itself and then did bizarre things to different pages--backgrounds missing randomly, photos unexpectedly skewed, text wrapped around graphics not at all the way it was in the original document but rather more akin to something you'd see on RuPaul's Drag Race--all of which was a bit disturbing and profoundly annoying, but fortunately Tara started tweeting a bunch of photos right as I was starting to headdesk repeatedly, so I got distracted by those which were equally random but in a more fun way, like something you'd hope to see on RuPaul's Drag Race (BTW I'm #NotClearOn the positioning of BGJW Season 2 after RuPaul's show. I had sort of taken that to mean a new RuPaul episode would be the lead-in to a new BGJW episode if and when we ever actually get to Season 2 although I'm thinking a wrap party is a hopeful sign cuz OK they've wrapped it really really wrapped it cuz he's mentioned before that they've, you know, WRAPPED THIS THING, so OK can we unwrap it now and WATCH IT pretty please with mammoth flu shots on top or sideways or whatever, but then in Irina's blog yesterday she wrote that "the new season will start after the new season of RuPaul's Drag Race." Which sounds like something different than RuPaul being a lead-in. So IDK).
But anyway.
They had a party! Yay!
So here's some photos:

Bonus video via The Advocate, from their post titled:
"Possibly the Most Beautiful Ad for Marriage Equality We've Seen."
The video was produced by an equality group in Australia,
where nearly two-thirds of voters favor legalizing
gay marriage, according to The Advocate,
but prime minister Julia Gillard remains firmly opposed.
I agree with The Advocate:
This is one of the most eloquent illustrations I've seen
of this simple concept: Love is love.
