NYC Pride got underway Wednesday night at the Blender Theatre at Gramercy. It was a kick off party for Gay Pride hosted by Barefoot Wine & Bubbly. The party starred RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Pandora Boxx. Before the show got underway guests and members of the press were invited to view the pilot episode of Logo’s newest show, a spin off of RuPaul’s Drag Race titled, “Drag U,” a reality competition where Drag Race contestants from Season 1 and 2 take ordinary women and transform them into draglicious divas.

Many fixtures of the gay community were in attendance. Guests included Lady Bunny, The Kiki Twins, Project Runway season 6 contestant Nicolas Putvinski, actor Nathan Lee Graham of Zoolander fame and many more.  As the stars made their way into the lounge area, posed for pictures and mingled with other celebs, beautiful drag queens served Hors d’oeuvres consisting of White Castle burgers, spicy crab cakes and vegetarian sushi. As other divas passed some wine.  The event was a charity silent auction, drag queen superstars including Pandora Boxx donated shoes benefitting the cause.

80’s pop singer of “Johnny Are You Queer?” fame debuted her new single “Pussycat Babylon” before performing a remixed edition of “Johnny Are you Queer.” The crowd cheered and shouted “You were robbed!” the moment Pandora Boxx took center stage.  She joked about being booted off the reality competition and how she’s better off considering it’s her name on the marquee and not Tyra’s (season 2 Drag Race winner). The crowd cheered and hung on to her every word. She lip sank two songs and wished attendees a happy pride.
