RuPaul's ALL STARS Drag Race! Coming October

Let's Have A Kiki - Official Instructional Video

Please Hold...

Hey kids, apologies for not updating this blog more frequently. Unfortunately real life has an annoying habit of getting in the way of fun. This was demonstrated most recently with my own recent emergency surgery incident (not a sex change, FYI).
ANYWAYS, as I need time to recuperate, MENERGY is taking a summer holiday until October, when we'll return with a fresh new season of Menergy All Stars! More info soon. In the interim, check out our pals Legendary Children!

Great music and chic tshirts for sale! ;-)
Laterz.

Supergay Detroit: Menergy

Check this post on a Detroit-based blog - Supergay Detroit: Menergy! Some unimaginative moron has LIFTED not only our club's name, music policy and description, but also one of Gregor's flyer images without any changes, save for the typeface!!! I get that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that, but this is downright embarassing. What I find most laughable is that they obviously thought we'd never find out. Pffffft. Raging.

MENERGY - Sat 11th Feb

That's right hunty! MENERGY is back this coming Saturday 11th Feb bigger and better than before!




We'll be at our new home, The Forbidden Gentlemen's Club (Maxwell St, behind St. Enoch's Centre) from 11 til 3, with an illuminated runway, poles, cages and lots of dragnificence! £8 entry/£7 for students - be there, queers!

RuPaul's Drag Race - Season 4 Contestants Announced!

It's nearly that time again for another new season of RuPaul's Drag Race to hit our screens (or, if you live outside the U.S., hit your torrent downloads), and the new contestants have been announced!

I gotta say, I was a bit disappointed with most of the queens, despairing that they were all too down to earth and that there were no glamazons to compare with season 3's Carmen Carrera, runner-up Manila Luzon or especially winner Raja, but then I stumbled across this bitch!

Big News!

Big Menergy news people! From 2012, Menergy is going bi (monthly, that is!). We feel that alternative queer clubbing in Glasgow needs more BALLS! And, as befitting such a change, we have a new home! The amazing Forbidden Gentlemens Club (Glasgow) , a deliciously debauched lapdancing club, replete with poles, cages, full stage and illuminated runway! Also, it's next door to the old Riverside Club, for all you who remember the Utter Gutter glory days, so that should rekindle some fond memories!

Hello Auntie Myra!

Vogue Ball Glossary

Taken from the House of Enigma.

For the sake of fair competition, the contestants themselves are categorized as such: Butch Queens (BQs)- gay males, regardless to which end of the masculine/ feminine scale they choose to identify with (the category specifics determine which way to lean). Femme Queens (FQs)- males at varying stages of gender reassignment; from the time they starts taking female hormones, they are no longer BQs. When you have a biologically androgynous male, there exists the flexibility to compete in categories designated for either BQs or FQs, provided there aren't any additional prerequisites.

BQs in Drag- gay males that do drag, but have not started taking female hormones. They may have their own categories, or compete with the FQs in some instances. Women (or Female) - biological. This division does not demand a particular sexual orientation, but does lean toward a feminine demeanor. Butches- sometimes referred to as "male illusionists", are generally classified as masculine lesbians, but any female possessing manly appearance and mannerisms can qualify, regardless to sexual preference. Men- denotes contestants from the "straight" pool of patrons that still attend these functions. "Male" is used in other cases where sexual preference has no bearing on a particular category's fairness, such as with "Best Dressed Male" or "Male Muscular Body". Open To All (OTA)- does not designate gender or persuasion, but you may have to meet other requirements, such as a specific prop or costume.
