The Heat is On.
Get Ready to Get Wet and Wild!
It’s never a dull moment here at ION Ari-
zona. As soon as Phoenix Pride weekend
was over, we hit the ground running with
plans for the wettest and wildest Splash
Bash ever!
Phoenix Pride
First, congratulations to the Phoenix Pride
Committee and everyone who helped out
to make this the biggest and best Phoenix
Pride ever. ION Arizona is proud to be
a part of it for the last eight years. And
as Pride grows, our readership grows!
Coincidence? I don’t think so.
Splash Bash Wet ‘n’ Wild
Before ION Arizona began in 2001,
there was a “gay day” at a water park in
Tempe. It was awesome. Everybody who
attended had so much fun.
In 2002, we wanted to do something big
to celebrate our first anniversary. We
rented a hotel pool and had a pool party
for about 75 people. For the next seven
years, we had nine Spash Bashes, each
one wilder than the one before. Attendance topped out at 1,000 with 160 hotel
rooms sold one year.
For Splash Bash X, we had to do something BIG. I’m proud to announce that
we’re bringing Gay Day back to a water
park. It’s called the “1n10 Splash Bash
Wet ‘n’ Wild Phoenix Gay Day 2010.”
That’s a mouthful of words - and fun!
We’re excited to partner with 1n10 to
bring you the wettest, wildest Splash
Bash EVER, and all proceeds benefit
1n10, supporting our GLBTQ youth. The
day party is for the entire community and
is open to the public from 10am-6pm.
Everybody - men, women, children and
14
everyone in between - is invited to come
out and enjoy a day of fun in the sun. But
when the sun goes down, the party heats
up for Splash Bash X. We rented the park
exclusively for our community. Coors
Light, Smirnoff and Speedos - and even
a few bikinis - come out to play. The huge
wave pool and their biggest and best
water rides are all ours. It’s going to be
“amazeballs!”
Jessica and Hunter to Host
What would a crazy pool party be without
a couple of off-the-hook, outrageous
hosts? ION Arizona interviewed these two
brats in March and our readers couldn’t
get enough. So we’re bringing Hollywood’s infamous weblebrities, red carpet
bad-asses Jessica and Hunter to host the
evening event and entertain you with their
below-the-belt commentary, criticism,
wit, wisdom (well, wait a minute ... I don’t
know about that part) and vodka-soaked
sarcasm. Check out their hysterical videos at www.IONAZ.com.
Sexy Swimsuit Spectacular
For this issue, we brought our ten swimsuit models to Wet ‘n’ Wild to show off at
the water park. It’s hot, hot, hot, hot - if I
say so myself. And if they aren’t enough
to convince you to come to Gay Day at
Wet ‘n’ Wild, have fun and support a fantastic community non-profit organization
like 1n10, I don’t know what will.
Enjoy this issue, and we will see you all
at the 1n10 Splash Bash Wet ‘n’ Wild Gay
Day.

Yo, DJ!
What’s New?
Though May is shaping up to be an
understated month for music with releases
from Toni Braxton, The Deftones, Tosca,
Kaskade and a new Cirque album, June
will make up for any shortcomings with the
tentative releases from Sarah McLachlan and
Christina Aguilera. In the meantime, check
out these four great finds!
Keane
Night Train
One of my all time
favorite bands is back
with an eight track EP.
Written during their most
recent tour this release
is a culmination of styles
from their previous
three albums. Opening
track “Your Love” featuring rare vocals from
Rice-Oxley is a mid-tempo ode to 80s synth
pop done in a style that is simply gorgeous.
Then there’s the commercial “Stop for a
Minute” featuring K’Naan and a foot stompin’
chorus and the dramatic, tango-like, yet
experimental “Clear Skies.” However, those
needing original Keane will find comfort in
the almost perfect ballad “My Shadow,” this
album sounds of what and who we fell in love
with in “Hopes & Fears.”
Goldfrapp
Head First
Those familiar with
Goldfrapp and her way
of changing the game
will again be shaken up
with this disco-infused
collection that provides
a relevant appeal of
Olivia Newton-John. First
single “Rocket” is a safe intro to what this
album is about while the tracks “Believer”
and “Dreaming” showcase what perfect pop
tunes should sound like. In an almost Kylie
like vibe, Goldfrapp flexes her vocals on
28
these two tracks all while giving you reason
to tap your feet. The only real original “Felt
Mountain” glimpse proves to be “Shiny and
Warm,” this albums ode to her splash into the
scene 10 years ago. By and far, this is 2010’s
best album to date.
Glee
The Madonna EP
The cultural phenomenon
of today joins forces with
the musical juggernaut
from the past three
decades. Though many
will argue the validity of
a few of the seven tracks
considering her vast
catalogue, undoubtedly
this undertaking proves smart for both
camps. Included are the monster jams of
“Express Yourself,” “Like a Prayer,” “Vogue”
and “Like a Virgin;” while “What it Feels like
for a Girl” and “4 Minutes” get new attention.
And all this on the heels of the mini Glee tour,
including a stop in Phoenix this month. What
a coincidence, eh?
Tracey Thorn
Love & the Opposite
Most known as the lead
for Everything but the Girl
and their hit “Missing,”
Tracey releases her
follow up to “Out of the
Woods” and flaunts
the softer side of her
impeccable voice. Thorn
shines brightest on lead
track “Oh the Divorces.” The haunting piano,
moody chorus and its waltz-like beauty work
perfectly together. And then there’s the bold
“Swimming” with its pace-changing melody
and an up and down musical style of genius.
Other tracks of note include this discs jam,
“Why Does the Wind” and the safe, EBTGesque hints of “Kentish Town.”

Movie Previews
Robin Hood
Starring: Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett,
Scott Grimes, William Hurt
Iron Man 2
Starring: Robert Downey, Jr., Gwyneth
Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke,
Sam Rockwell
Robert Downey, Jr. returns as Industrialist
and master Engineer, Tony Stark. At the
close of the first film Stark reveals that he
is indeed Iron Man. As to be expected with
superheroes, the U.S. Government and press
are now putting the squeeze on the irascible
Stark to divulge the technology behind his
super suit. Stark balks, knowing all too well
that secrets rarely remain that way. That’s
just as well, because now he faces a whole
new set of forces to be reckoned with, both
the external threat of the Russian, Whiplash
(Rourke, The Wrestler), and the internal
threat of Justin Hammer (Rockwell, Choke).
Gwyneth Paltrow returns as Stark’s everfaithful assistant, Pepper Potts, but Don
Cheadle steps in to replace Terrence
Howard as Lt. Col. James Rhodes. The
second part of a trilogy, Iron Man 2
is based on the Marvel Comic Book
character of the same name and
directed by Jon Favreau. Release
Date: May 7, 2010.

This past decade Hollywood has become
notorious for taking old stories and giving
them a gritty reboot and Robin Hood is no
exception. According to the trusty website
Wikipedia, there are 49 different cinematic
and television versions of Robin Hood
swirling around in the mediated ether. Now,
Ridley Scott (Gladiator) reunites with
Russell Crowe to bring you the beefiest,
edgiest incarnation of the elfin hero of
Sherwood Forest in the disappointingly
lamely-named Robin Hood. In a storyline not
entirely unlike Gladiator, Robin Hood returns
from fighting the Third Crusade to discover
to his chagrin that feudal England is not
benefiting the impoverished as much as he
would like to believe.
Scrapping the green tights in favor of
something far more masturbation-worthy, he
forms a rock band called “Robin Hood and
the Merry Men” and wages war on the Sheriff
of Nottingham using nothing but the power
of their rock! Robin Hood woos groupie,
Maid Marian (Blanchett), and ushers in a
new era of peace, love, and dope. [Note: this
last paragraph isn’t true. But it bangs! - Ed.]

DVD Movie Review
Hannah Free
Starring: Sharon Gless, Maureen Gallagher,
Taylor Miller, Jacqui Jackson
Sharon Gless,
despite her
heterosexuality,
has always
been a GLBT
icon. Since
her days
as one half
of the asskicking allfemale New
York detective
duo, Cagney and
Lacey (1982–88),
to her more recent stint
as the well-meaning but overly-energetic
Debbie Novotny on Queer as Folk, she has
stood out as both a symbol and a supporter
of feminism and GLBT rights. Now, with her
turn as the title character in the film version
of Claudia Allen’s play, Hannah Free, she
plays a Lesbian, fulfilling the lifelong fantasy
of lesbians across the nation. Hannah Free
tells the story of the decades-long romance
between the free-spirited, unashamed
Hannah (Gless) and the more conservative,
stay-at-home Rachel (Gallagher). Growing
up in the same Midwestern town, Hannah
and Rachel fell in love in their youth, but
found themselves sometimes bitterly divided
by marriage, war, and family pressure. Like
all great romances, their love is so deep and
profound, they always find their way back
to one another. Primarily set towards the
end of their love affair as both women find
themselves confined to a nursing home, the
narrative weaves a tapestry across placed
and spaces that transcends all time. For any
romantic that loves to have their heartstrings
tugged by stories of undying devotion, this
Tammie Brown
Big Gay Musical
Starring: Daniel Robinson, Joey Dudding
Based on the title alone, I expected Caspar
Andreas and Fred M. Caruso’s film, Big
Gay Musical, to be 2/3rds camp with 1/3rd
song, but was pleasantly surprised
when I discovered it transcended my
pre-conceived notions and delivered
something much, much lovelier.
Centered around an off-Broadway
musical called Adam and Steve:
The Way God Intended, the film
blends the on-stage antics of the
cast with the off-stage adventures of
the two principal leads. In the same
way that the musical itself is a quest for
self-understanding and social acceptance,
so are the journeys of Eddie (Dudding) and
Paul (Robinson). Eddie comes from a highly
religious family and has avoided coming
out to his parents lest they reject him. Paul,
on the other hand, is a relationship man
but when his current partner cuts off ties on
the basis of a false rumor, he decides the
only recourse is to engage in meaningless
flings. Rather than fully embrace themselves,
Eddie and Paul use their fears about the
acceptance and reciprocation of others as
a justification to stunt their growth. A good
moral to any story, Big Gay Musical shows
that once you truly love yourself, others will
follow suit. And if that’s not enough to get you
off the couch and over to your local video
store, the singing and dancing alone is worth
the price of gas and rental.

Hula’s Modern Tiki
E komo mai means “Welcome” to Hula’s Modern Tiki
Aloha Oe, big Kahunas and little Wahinis!
Looking for something accessible, but slightly
exotic? You don’t have to go all the way to
our island state of Hawaii to get a taste of the
South Pacific. Why? It’s no secret that Hula’s
Modern Tiki is riding a tsunami of popularity
since it opened last September. Right here
in Central Phoenix, little Ke Aloha, and you
can get there wiki-wiki on the Metro Light Rail
to this bar and grill in with the Chrysler star
window on Central Avenue.
Although there is a variety of dishes and food
to choose from, fish lovers will be delighted
to know that the emphasis is on citizens of
the sea. Try starting off with the Spicy Thai
Fish Cakes at $7 for three fat ones. These
babies are made from white fish, cilantro,
chili, red onions, potato, fish sauce and
ginger. These are highly recommended. No
Humuhumukununukuapua’a on the menu.
That’s the state fish with the longest name
ever. Say it five times fast.
chicken, tiny chunks of fried Spam – a
Hawaiian staple – bleu cheese crumbles,
pineapple, tomato, egg, daikon (a mild
Japanese radish, a bit like jicama) and
avocado ranch dressing. Tasty, although a bit
more of the fried Spam and pineapple would
be appreciated.
This is the mainland. Hula’s has offered a
nice little nod to the Southwest and beach
culture with their South Seas Fish Tacos
where they serve up juicy, rich, tender
chunks of grilled fish on corn tortillas, tomato
pesto aioli, with black beans and rice. You’ll
get two for $13.
The only thing missing from the menu to
make it truly Hawaiian is poi, and the island’s
ubiquitous macaroni salad and but they do
have sides of fried Spam, Spam, Spam,
Spam for Brunch. Really.
Another palate pleasing appetizer is the
Island Style Poke, with generous, bitesize chunks of mild ahi tuna, soy sauce,
sesame oil, fat slices of avocado,
onions and macadamia nuts for $9.
Our friendly and knowledgeable
waiter used the word “interesting”
to describe Hula’s Island Cobb
Salad. “Interesting” is a word
that scares me. It’s loaded. Kind
of like someone handing you .44
Magnum and inviting you to play
Russian Roulette. You might
luck out, or you might have your
gastronomical brains blown out.
It’s chancey, at best.
Fortunately, Hula’s take on the
traditional Cobb Salad is one where
you luck out. It features roasted

If you prefer your food
on the hoof, you’ll be just as
happy to know that they have several
dishes from the bovine to the porcine with
an island twist, such as the Teriyaki New
York Steak, Bali Hai BBQ Ribs, Duke’s Luau
Pork Plate, hamburgers and more. Prices
hover around the $15 mark.
Faster than you can say, “Hey! How’d you
like a nice Hawaiian punch?” you’ll become
a fan of their fabled and oh-so-spirited
signature lama pa’ipa’i – that’s “cocktails” in
Hawaiian. Favorites include the Tiki Bastard
with gin, bourbon, maraschino liqueur, lime
and ginger brew. There’s also whoppers,
like the Scorpion and Volcano Bowls. Tiki
Time Happy Hour is 3:30-6 p.m. MondayFriday, with drink specials on Saturday and
Sunday from 10 a.m.-7 p.m.
A late night menu is available Tuesday
through Saturday for you night owls. You’ll
be on the first outrigger back to Hula’s
Modern Tiki faster than you can say
“Mahalo nui loa.” BYOGS. Bring your own
grass skirt.
Speaking of “Mahalo” ... be sure to join
Hula’s for Mahalo Mondays, where 10% of
the day’s proceeds benefit the SW Center
for HIV/AIDS.
But how do you say, “Snow” in Hawaiian?
You don’t.

ION: When the
competition started, did you have any
gut feeling who might win?
JuJuBee: It was Raven, Jessica, Tyra.
But I knew I would be there – if I played
my cards right. It’s all about working
really hard and listening. That’s what
I think the whole, big challenge is of
RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Tyra: I didn’t think about that. Of course,
I wanted to be a finalist, but I didn’t think
about anyone else. I always focused on
myself.
Raven: I honestly thought Sonique,
Jessica, JuJu and Tyra were gonna go
far. I knew Morgan would do well but I
didn’t know if she was gonna take it all
the way to the end because I know how
scatterbrained she can be at times,
and I thought that could make her
stumble. There were others that
I definitely thought, ‘Okay, I don’t
think she’s going to make it far,’ but
we won’t talk about those.
Don’t Be Jealous...

he competition was tighter than a pair of Spanks on Kirstie Alley at a Country Harvest
Buffet on season two of LOGO’s juggernaut reality show, RuPaul’s Drag Race and
sponsored by ABSOLUT Vodka, who likkered up the gals on the show’s Interior
Illusions Lounge. ION Arizona enjoyed an intimate tête-à-tête with the three
finalists: the seductive Raven, the ebullient Jujubee, and the
winner, Tyra Sanchez. Each one paused between
“tucks” to share their thoughts about the
show, drag and cannibalism.

in that this was a competition but I also
knew that this was a TV show and people
want to see drama.
Filming took us four weeks. The days
are anywhere from about ten to twelve
hours. Sometimes fourteen. The actual
elimination day on the Main Stage is
filmed in only one day and you’re standing
up there for a good eight hours. So there’s
going to be tension and tempers. We’re
in pain. We’re tucked, and we’re in heels,
our toes are squeezed into those pointy
shoes. There’s going to be problems. And
there’s so much you don’t see, that they
don’t put out there.
ION: What was your favorite and worst
challenge?
JuJuBee: You know, ironically
enough it was the Drag
Mother challenge even
though I had to Lip Sync
for My Life. I thought it
was such a great experience
getting to know somebody from a
ION: Were you happy with the
editing?
JuJuBee: I have to say the editing
didn’t change much about who I am.
So I’m very happy about how I was
portrayed because it’s exactly who I am.
Tyra: I am. Because it showed all of my
sides; they didn’t show just one side of
me. Sometimes I can be bitchy, but other
times I can be America’s Sweetheart.
Raven: Yes and no. When I went in for
my interviews [the show’s “confessional”
where they discuss the contestants and
other issues - Ed.], I gave my first initial
reaction then a little softer one, and they
decided to use the more dramatic one.
And I’m fine with that. If people think of
me as a bitch and that’s all they see of
me, then I don’t mind. Now, I knew going

different era and learning so many things
historically about Gay culture and Gay
life. Worst challenge? I’ll say the Rock ‘n’
Roll challenge. We’ll just leave it at that.
(laughs) Oh my god, it was excruciating.
Tyra: My favorite would have to have
been the Diva Awards because we
worked together as a group again for
the opening. The worst for me was the
episode with the Drag Mothers because
I don’t do other people’s makeup which
made it harder for me. Completely
dressing them and doing their makeup
and hair was kinda hard.
Raven: Oh, gosh! Honestly, I enjoyed
most of them. I really got a kick out of
making over 60-year-old men into drag
moms. That one was fun. I loved the rock
‘n’ roll challenge with Terri Nunn because
I absolutely adore her. But I’d say my
favorite one was the Golden Girls one.
The one that I was upset with, and I wish
I had a dollar for every time someone
told me I should’ve won was the Wedding
Dress challenge. That’s the one I honestly
thought I had that one. In. The. Bag. And
then I knew when all of the drama went
down with Tatianna and Tyra I knew,
‘Stay out of this’ – because RuPaul
was going to smear salt in all of our
wounds when she says, ‘Tyra, you’re
the winner of this challenge.’ And Tyra
did a good job. I will say that. But I knew
deep down that RuPaul had enough.
Tatianna was acting every bit just as much
of a bitch as Tyra was by standing there
trying to throw her under the bus. I think
that’s what Tatianna was doing.
ION: What advice would give to
anybody entering Drag Race?
JuJuBee: What I say is, “Be true to
yourself; know your character, know your
role and know what you’re gonna do.
Because if you go in blind you might as
well close your eyes the whole time. And
work your ass off. Be prepared to stand
on heels. You’re gonna stand in heels for
15 hours.
Tyra: I would say be yourself and show
personality. Show that you have lots
of personality. The competition is to
challenge you and open you up to new
things. Still be you, but still try new things
as long as part of you is in it.
Raven: Don’t do it! Just kidding! You need
to make sure that you come prepared. I
didn’t know how to sew. So when you see
me sewing that’s for the first time in my
life. So I would say, ‘Do your research,
watch the previous season and get
everything together that you can.’ And
learn how to do your makeup properly.
That’s high definition TV.
You’re gonna find
Cover Girl does
not cover a boy.
ION: If you
could’ve

weapon on
ION: Some viewers have
speculated that that
scenario was staged,
perhaps.
Raven: No. No. We had wrapped.
The cameras weren’t in there when
the argument happened. I came in at
the very tail end of it. Because it
was caught on camera, people
are thinking that it was, but it
really happened.

the set, what would it have been and
who would you have used it on?
JuJuBee: It would probably be a lasso. I
probably would’ve got Mystique because
she’s a little slow. But that’s my girl!
Tyra: Could it be duct tape? I’d use it on
all the girls – to tape their mouth’s shut –
then I would get the spotlight!
Raven: I would have brought shoes that
could squirt grease from the back so
that all those bitches would walk out on
stage and fall. (laughs). Or Slimfast. And
I would’ve used it on Mystique. That’s a
good question. I’m not that way. I wouldn’t
want to harm any of them. Honestly.
When it came down to it we all really did
like each other. We really did. I told them,
‘When I go into my interview, I’m letting
them have it. When they ask me for my
opinion, I’m giving it to them.’ They’re like,
‘What have you said about me?’ and I told
them. They acted a little offended and I
said, ‘I know you have said things about
me and that’s your opinion. When I go
home at the end of the day I’m happy with
me and that’s all that matters.’ There was
no real hatred between any of us.
ION: Raven, Some people felt that you
and Tatianna were really at odds.
Raven: Okay, yes. Yes, we were. I don’t
hate her, by any means, but I kind of got
this feeling from her that she is on her
way to be a girl. And I say that because
when I look at her, her drag just seems
like a girl that wears dresses from Forever
21 and doesn’t mind wearing some wig
that doesn’t really look like there’s much
to it and she seemed like she just put
on a little bit of makeup. Maybe it was
intimidation. Maybe a little bit of me was,
‘Damn! This girl can just walk out here
and get away with wearing a little, tiny
purple skirt and a corset and they love
it!’ and that was what started to irritate
me. I don’t hate her by any means, but
that sucks. It’s a drag contest and they’re
looking at this – almost – tranny.
ION: If you were on a plane with the

other queens and it crashed in the
Andes, who would you cannibalize first
and why?
haul, or if I’ve got a bunch of people that
are just kind of here because, ‘Oh! You’re
Raven!’ then they’re out the next minute.
JuJuBee: And I can only say one? Can
I take a combo? We’ll just take different
parts of everybody. ‘Cause I like it all! But
I could only have one it would be Raven
because she’s pretty. She’s like my sister.
ION: We ask all of our celebrities that
question.
Tyra: That’s really hard. I’d definitely say
Tatianna. Her legs are thick. She has thick
thighs. And she looks like she’d taste
good.
Raven: Mystique, because she has the
most meat. (laughs) Okay. I would say
Jessica Wild. I think she’d be real tasty. I
bet she’d be real spicy, too. You saw her
in those jeans! Those are some tender
loins, honey!
ION: If you were a superhero,
what would your superpowers
be?
JuJuBee: Flight, because I’m
always late. And flying would get
me there a little faster. And I would
look fierce flying, too.
Tyra: I think it would
be the ability to fly. I’d
want to see my hair
and dress blowing
in the wind.
Raven: The
ability to
see into the
future. I would
want to see into
the future and I
would want to see
what what my life
path has. I want to
know exactly what’s
going to happen for
me, what I need to
prepare for, and where
my life and everyone
in it is headed. And if
the people who are with
me, are in it for the long
Raven: You think I’m a celebrity?
ION: Yes. Don’t you feel like a
celebrity?
JuJuBee: You know, it’s odd to me. I get
families coming up to me – a mother,
her husband, and, like, two children - the
perfect American family – and they say
they love the show, and they’re rooting
for me and they’re excited and that they
love what we do. These cookie cutter
families watching RuPaul’s Drag Race!
Tyra: I do. But I didn’t feel like one
until I went into a store and a girl
started crying. She was shopping
and said, ‘Oh my god, you’re
Tyra Sanchez!’ and started boohoo crying.
Raven: Ummm ... a little
... I feel like it when I’m at
Disneyland and I’ve
got all these kids
and their moms
wanting to take
pictures. But I
still just feel like

and 2004-2006 Four Continents champions.
They are ranked fourth in the world by the

Skating with Smucker’s

TANITH: This time around, as opposed to
Turino which is all a big blur, I will remember
most is the team that we had because we
were all so close; it was just a really great
group of skaters. Everyone was so excited
and humbled, respectful and happy to be
there it made the whole opportunity just that
much sweeter and being named as team
captains was probably one of the most
rewarding, memorable feelings that I’ve
taken in and out of the Olympics.
BEN: I definitely agree with Tanith. That and
the [Olympic] Village itself and the whole
atmosphere of the greatest athletes in the
world being in one place. A great opportunity
to meet people from all different sports.
You get exposed to what their life is like
and sometimes it’s so different than what
we experience in the little tiny skating world
we’re stuck in most of the time.
ION: How has being in the Olympics
changed your life?
TANITH: The opportunities that have
presented themselves when an Olympics
are over with in terms of the media and
possible career options has contributed a
lot to my self-esteem and also my beliefs in
more life after skating. It’s hard to
foresee when we’re stuck in
this bubble and coming to
a point, by-and-large,
where we’re at the
end of our careers
and we have a
lot of anxiety
about what’s
next and what’s
expected of us
and how to get
there. Having
opportunities
the post-Olympic
season can really
help with keeping
calm about the future
and not panicking.
ION: What opportunities
have been presented?
TANITH: After 2006 I was offered a job
doing correspondence for Good Morning
America. It was my first insight into the world
of broadcast journalism and something I’d
never considered before, but found very
natural. I thought that was a possible future
career, and it’s given me a lot of energy and
focus and excitement for the future.
B: I’m really excited about going to school
now. (laughs) I feel like all of my friends
have gotten degrees. I’m very interested in
sports medicine. I’ve had injuries over the
years and amazing doctors over the years
who kind’ve helped put me back together.
I would love to help people, especially
athletes who are trying to get back into the
May 2010
www.IONAZ.com 53
game and back on
the field. Also, one of my
dreams would be to do voice over
work. I did a voice for a video game and
it was the coolest experience. Having the
opportunity to do character voices is so fun!
I love doing voices and impressions. I think
that would be the greatest job ever!
ION: What has been the hardest obstacle
has been for you?
TANITH: Keeping things in perspective
and not going crazy. It’s really hard to stay
balanced and remember who you are and
not reach a point where you base your own
self-value on how you’re doing on the ice. I
think the biggest challenge is making sure
you keep a solid separation between who
you are, and who you are as a skater. I
know that this experience has helped me
get a grip on that, but there was a time when
it was was hard to distinguish who I was if I
wasn’t a skater. Thankfully I think I’ve been
able to have that balance.
ION: What
other athletes or celebrities
have impacted your career?
TANITH: My role model in skating was
Shae-Lynn Bourne [Canadian ice dancer
partnered with Victor Kraatz - Ed.] I idolized
her not just as a [ice] dancer, but as a
person and as a skater. She was such
a great role model for a young athlete,
especially for women because she was
so strong, dedicated and composed. I
always wanted to present myself even
half as poised and polite as she is and I
would be okay. If I could have the same
impact on someone someday that would
mean a lot to me, too. She allowed me to
see how important someone can be on an
impressionable, young child’s life.
BEN: Probably Elizabeth and Jared Swallow
[ice dancing team]. They were consistently
such a good example about how to work
hard and how to get along and how to get
through issues. They’d have fights every
now and then but it was always something
they were able to work through and manage
and still get back to working well together
and I think that really influenced me on how
you should behave toward your partner and
your coach and your other teammates
around you. That’s had a very
significant impact on my skating
career and my life.
in performances today, I can’t imagine how
anyone could dispute the difficulty. If the
creativity that the skaters have put into the
lifts is any indication of what ice dancing
is capable of doing in terms of evolution in
just four years, I can’t imagine what it will be
capable of doing and turning into in another
four years with another Games coming up.
Politically, to have two American Ice Dance
teams standing on this past Olympic’s
podium is amazing.
BEN: Ice dancing has really started to come
into its own as far as gaining popularity
and gaining acceptance as a real, athletic,
difficult sport. Now it’ll be helpful as the sport
and judging system grows for it to becoming
a little bit easier for the public to understand.
People will become more familiar, watch it
more, become more experienced with how
the sport works and how the difficulty is
intertwined with the performance. The more
people understand what they’re looking at
and how it’s judged, the more enjoyable it’ll
be for them.
ION: Who makes your costumes? Does
your mother still make them?
TANITH: She does, but not the ones I wore
at the Olympics. We went to a costume
designer in New York, Natella AbdulaevaDenze. She created costumes for theatre
for many years. Our coaches
wanted us to go for a much more dramatic,
theatrical design. We definitely achieved that
although I know it doesn’t suit everyone’s
taste because it wasn’t what they were
used to seeing. It’s more edgy, artistically,
than we’ve done. We felt more special and
unique.
ION: If you were a superhero, what
would your superhero, what would your
superpowers be?
TANITH: Oh, man! I guess ideally I would
fly. I travel so much; I’m so sick of airports
and planes and people next to me on
planes, I would fly. Teleportation!
BEN: This is a difficult question. I would love
to be able to swim underwater indefinitely,
like, with gills – like Aquaman. I scuba dive
and I love the underwater world, and that
feeling of being weightless and cruising
around without all that gear that would be
amazing to have that freedom.

ION: How would you like
to see the sport change
or grow?
TANITH: Ice dancing
has gained a
lot of credibility
especially among
the naysayers
who used to make
comments that
it wasn’t athletic
enough to be
considered an
Olympic sport. With
the acrobatics and
athleticism involved

Björk will perform in a specially constructed
amphitheatre atop the icy glacier while a

The recent eruption of the volcano shut
down European airspace for days causing
international airlines to lose thousands of
dollars in revenue and delaying travel plans
on a global scale.
Percy and Prunella Hastings, on holiday

Chickenhawks everywhere
loves super-yummy Brent Corrigan,
everybody’s favorite twink XXX superstar,
who pressed the flesh – that
means “a handshake,” not what
you’re thinking, despite his
vocation, perverts – at
Forbidden promoting the
DVD release of The Big
Gay Musical. Big shot
Hollywood producer of
the opus, eternal Valley
Youth Project, Mich
Lyons was on hand,
along with the talented
promoter Austin Head.
Even Curtis Steinhoff
and Paul Rottas showed
up for the event. Quel
surpris!
Former Mayor of
Tempe, Neil Giuliano
presented young
Corrigan with the Keys
to ... to ... something.
And it wasn’t the city, I’m
sure. I’m thinking of a room
at a Motel 6. Kidding. Just
kidding, folks! Probably a Ramada
Inn. Kidding again!
And the lights go down when Miss Tammie
Brown’s in town (pictured with Zachary
Cheney). The quirk-o-licious star of the first
season of RuPaul’s Drag Race brought her
own unique brand of talent to Forbidden and
Apollo’s where she performed to SRO crowds
with Barbra Seville. An enraptured audience
included Jeff Piñales and Mike Soucier of
Acacia Café.
Word has it that Vintage Modern boutique’s
vintage couture coordinator and stylist
David Sheflin will be playing Pygmalion
and assisting Miss Brown with choice pieces
from his vast treasure trove of fine ladies’
accouterment and apparel. After her boffo
84
appearances at Forbidden and Apollo’s
with Barbra Seville, impresario Sheflin will
assist in bringing the unsinkable Tammie
Brown back into town later this month. The
two were seen hashing out details
at Switch during brunch with a
dozen other drag queens.
Speaking of Barbra
Seville ... it’s official!
ArizonaDrag.com
announced that
our most valuable
commodity is
throwing her wig into
the Interior Illusions
Lounge to compete
in the next season of
RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Break a shapely leg, Babs!
Flash! A little bird told me that
a certain bewigged beauty will
be trading in her BeDazzled
pageant gowns in for
a black and white twopiece cotton/poly blend
pant suit – with horizontal
stripes, no less. And
you know what that does
to your figure. And your
record.
Seems that after writing
fraudulent checks for years all over the
United States, she discovered exactly how
long the long arm of the law is. And it’s really
long. You can send her a cake with a file in
it. Even if she can’t saw through the bars at
least she’ll be able to do her nails while she’s
in the pokey.
Our Party Penguin of the Month is Nancy
Nuñez! She’s everywhere! Not only is she
the Karaoke Mistress non pareil at The Rock
every Monday and at Bar1 on Tuesdays, she
singlehandedly coordinated setting up every
stage at Phoenix Pride! Thanks, Nancy!

Libra Sep. 23 - Oct. 22
Aries Mar. 21 - Apr. 20
You’ll meet an alluring stranger this month.
And they don’t come any stranger than this
one. Follow your mother’s advice for once:
never talk to strangers. In the long run it’s all
for the best here. Honest.
Taurus Apr. 21 - May 20
The stars indicate that your birthday wish
will come true this year. At least 50% of it.
You can’t have everything or else you’ll get
spoiled. So is your wish half-granted, or halfdenied? Be optimistic!
Gemini May 21 - June 21
Celebrate your own, unique sense of your
two selves. Your quirky, zany ways have endeared you to many. If it’s your birthday, the
Twins in your personality will pull you in two
different directions. Choose carefully!
Cancer June 22 - July 22
Your eyes say what your lips cannot speak.
So be careful what you’re saying. Or what
you’re not saying. In the meantime, put on
some lipstick and pucker up, buttercup! The
truth is in your kiss.
Leo July 23 - Aug. 22
You have a few loose ends from last month
that you need to tie up. Otherwise you might
get tied up. And not in a fun way, sweetie.
With a little flattery and some help from a
very friendly Scorpio you’ll have all your
ducks in a row lickety-split.
Virgo Aug. 23 - Sep. 22
You’re like the McDonald’s of lovers: billions
and billions served! Love is not on the value
menu for you this month. Mind your manners
and by next month a date with you will be like
a filet mignon in a five-star restaurant.

May 2010
No more vampire movies or TV shows for
you. Keep your sunny side up and quit
wearing black. Your smile looks better in
daylight than “Twilight.” But it doesn’t mean
you can’t have a midnight snack once in a
while.
Scorpio Oct. 23 - Nov.23
Did you get a new haircut? Are you wearing
colored contacts? There’s something about
you that’s different, but we can’t put our finger
on it. A sexy Cancer might want to put his or
her finger on it, though. Let ‘em.
Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 23
Someone is spying on you. Maybe it’s your
roommate. Maybe it’s your mom. Or it could
be the Russian Government. But if I’d were
you, I’d travel incognito this month. Wear
sunglasses and keep it on the D.L. By June
it’ll be smooth sailing.
Capricorn Dec. 23 - Jan. 20
You are a pioneer in your own special way.
Everybody admires your fearless trailblazing
and courage in the face of danger. But mostly
the like the way you tell jokes and the way
your dress. Keep it up!
Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19
Your sly observations about people are best
kept to yourself, smartypants. If you must
vent, maybe you better invest in a diary. Even
then be judicious. Give five compliments a
day and call me in the morning.
Pisces Feb. 20 - Mar. 20
You call it like you see it. And that’s not a bad
thing. You’re genuine and a good advertisement for the human race. If you were bottled
and sold, you’d be a millionaire. In the meantime, share the best of you with everyone.
For free. It’ll pay off later.
