Ladies in Red..and the People Who Love Them

Last Friday Macy's www.macys.com and Seattle Metropolitan Magazine www.seattlemetmag.com sponsored an event like no other. Emceed by the flamboyant Poison Waters, it was called Project Red Dress and it was an evening of fashion and fun to benefit the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women Movement. www.goredforwomen.org

Mel and I attended. It was a bit of a stretch for Mel because he at first thought he was going to a "fashion show" which ..yes..he was...but it was way more than that. It was a wake up call for women to be aware that heart disease is not just for men.

Being the good sport that he is, he went with me. My mom and dad died of heart attacks. My mom was never screened properly back in the 90's. So, for me, this was very close to my heart. Mel understood.

We went, we saw, and it was an event like no other.
There was an amazing array of talented designers who only had 18 hours to create the red dress. The designers were from all over the country and were judged by a distinguished panel of judges including: Luly Yang, Heather Carney, Laura Cassidy, Martha Fuller, and Nick Verreos of Project Runway.
Talk about stage fright!

Take a moment to think of the women you love and GO RED.

Imperial Coronation Weekend began last Thursday with the In-Town Show and Awards at Encore in the Polk neighborhood. Emcees Keith and Gladys Bumps kept things rolling as the drinks flowed, the entertainment proceeded, and tongues wagged with speculation over the results of the previous Saturday's voting for Emperor and Empress. Friday began with a reception at Marlena's honoring the monarchs celebrating anniversaries of their reigns, followed by the Out-of-Town Show at the host hotel, Holiday Inn Golden Gateway. This was the first chance for many to catch up with old friends, and a great opportunity to sample the broad range of talent within the International Court System. Afterwards, the bars in the Castro certainly knew that there were thirsty visitors in town. [Read the rest of the story here]

Girl About Town - Hey, Britney, what about your hair?

By Pamela Sitt - Seattle Times columnist (excerpt)

..."THE WOMAN JUST likes to throw a party," says an editor at Seattle Metropolitan Magazine of her boss, publisher Nicole Vogel. Vogel, dressed in a white Rachel Roy gown, greeted guests at a packed bridal-themed luncheon at Hotel 1000 on April 5 to celebrate the July launch of Seattle Metropolitan Bride & Groom magazine. "It was tres elegant," reports a party guest. "We started on the terrace, drinking lemonade and champagne." Vogel's executive assistant, Kevin Cook, appeared at the party dressed in drag as his alter ego, Ms. Poison Waters, wearing a brilliant blue bridesmaid gown and enough costume jewelry to choke a horse. Of course. ...

Seattle Metropolitan Bride and Groom

Posted in Wedding, Bride & Groom Resources, Events |
Saturday, April 7th, 2007

Seattle Metropolitan Bride & Groom magazine invited me to a luncheon at the elegant, modern and distinctly urban Hotel 1000. Immediately I wondered why Seattle might want a second Nuptial publication. We already have Seattle Bride. The answer came minutes after stepping off the elevator into a sweet smelling foyer. I was enthusiastically greeted by Poison Waters herself, in her bright, don’t miss me for a moment, blue dress. Now would Seattle Bride have a drag queen host their gala? No doubt things are shaking up here in the NW, so who knows what tomorrow may bring for Seattle Bride. But today there’s Seattle Metropolitan Bride & Groom. Notice the G word. My husband, formerly my finance, was offended and surprised that so little was addressed to Grooms. He was a huge part of our wedding planning. SMB&G recognizes and encourages the Grooms involvement. Equally as (formerly) disappointing, I have submitted images from my numerous gay and lesbian weddings, never to be published in a bridal mag. SMB&G includes everyone’s nuptials in their scope, which should be taken for granted, for goodness sake!

Seattle Metropolitan Magazine certainly did their homework. Invited were some of my favorite wedding vendors. Luly Yang, John Gardner of Aria Style, Coordinators Merry Beth Turpin of Aisle of View and Travis and Jesse from True Colors Events. Others I at least had the pleasure of saying hello to: the ever helpful Me Ra Koh and Jeff LaPlante, Sharlane Chase, Grace and Hun of GH Kim, Michael Good, Katarina from J Garner, The Lulu weddings gals, The Junebug weddings gals, the catering team at the elegant, waterfront Woodmark Hotel. If all of these quality Seattle wedding vendors sign up with SMB&G, brides and grooms can be sure to find top wedding professionals all in one publication. OK, that’s all for now. Ellie is awake. It takes forever to create links so I have to stop right now!

At Steven Leider’s “tombstone” birthday party Monday night, neither the humorous banter of Portland drag queen Poison Waters (resplendent in a sparkly orange gown and feather boa), nor the excitement over winning bingo prizes, nor the chance to raise money for local organizations supportive of the gay community could
distract partygoers from one important question: How is it possible that Leider is 50?

“I didn’t believe he was 50. I thought he was lying,” said Tom Johnston, meeting facilitator for the Corvallis and Albany chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.

“I want to know what product he’s using,” added Bob Skinner, president of Valley AIDS Information Network and local AIDS prevention educator and activist.

Leider is the coordinator of LGBT Outreach and Services at Oregon State University.

About 85 people turned out for Leider’s party, a “drag-bingo” event drumming up support for Johnston’s and Skinner’s groups, as well as the OSU Pride Center and Basic Rights Action Team, the local chapter of Basic Rights Oregon. The festivities were held at the United Methodist Community Center.

After expenses, the event raised between $1,100 and $1,200, which will be divided among the four organizations.

Leider, who came to the party as his drag alter ego, LaVerne Lydell, said his 50th birthday was just an opportune time to help groups important to him and the community.

“My birthday was merely a convenient excuse for holding a fund-raiser for the four organizations, all of which do incredible work in the community on less than a shoestring budget,” he said.

“VAIN teaches hundreds annually about HIV and AIDS, while providing support to those in our community living with these conditions. BRAT works to improve the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
Oregonians by gaining civil equality for the community. PFLAG supports the families and friends of LGBT people as they go through their own coming-out process. And the Pride Center provides a safe and affirming place in which OSU and Corvallis LGBT youth and their allies can come out, access resources and make new friends.”

Leider came to OSU in late 2005, and he proved a welcome addition to the campus and Corvallis, friends said.

“He’s been a real shot in the arm,” said Skinner. “Steven is always incredibly energetic and positive, and he always
has an open door. As students, he’s always there for us if we need to talk,” said Sam Leinen, external coordinator for the OSU Pride Center. Leinen is a senior majoring in graphic design.

“Since Steven came to campus, he’s been an incredibly positive force of change for campus and in this community. It’s an honor to be able to celebrate his birthday in this way with the organizations he cares so much about.”

Leider got all dolled up for his party, wearing a red dress, black high heels, a blonde wig and sparkly makeup.

Ingrid Udd, an OSU sophomore majoring in English, had an important job at the party. She helped Leider fasten the clasp on his strands of pearls.

Udd, an office assistant at the Pride Center, said fun events like drag bingo — it’s played just like bingo, except that a drag queen calls out the numbers — are what first got her involved in the campus LGBT community.

“I’ve always looked up to Steven, and I think this is one of the most unselfish things he could do, celebrating his 50th birthday in this way,” Udd said.

Q stands for quite a lot

Q Center’s offerings range from bingo nights to a Kid Korner. By Eric Bartels - The Portland Tribune Dec 9, 2006

Host Poison Waters, aka Kevin Cook, says the Q Center’s bingo night takes on a nightclub atmosphere — without the alcohol.

Members of Portland’s gay community have long been at home in local society: in business, in politics, in the arts. What they haven’t had, until the Q Center opened earlier this year, was a home of their own. Now the city’s LGBTQ community center – the acronym stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning – is up and running, and its supporters say it’s making up for lost time.

Center coordinator Gene de Haan says 30 organizations and 1,600 individuals were involved in a 2003 feasibility study that helped launch the center, which opened in March. “The results came back overwhelmingly in favor of a center,” she says. The list of priorities indicated by respondents was straightforward: arts and culture, health and wellness, and programs for youths, families and seniors. In other words, de Haan says, a place to access the kinds of resources and amenities any community needs, and one similar to other centers throughout America. “They’re popping up everywhere,” she says.

City Commissioner Sam Adams, who was a driving force behind the center, says Portland had no business being without such a facility. “At that time, 122 cities across the United States had one,” he says, “including unlikely places like Salt Lake City and smaller places like Ashland.” In Portland, Adams says, “there were very few services for seniors. There were struggling services for youths. There were almost no arts and culture venues dedicated to the queer community, and there wasn’t a meeting place.”

Adams, who is gay, says that in recent years, Out magazine rated Portland the third-best city in America for gays, citing the integration of its gay community into the larger culture. “The downside was we were so integrated there wasn’t a place we could call home,” Adams says. “There’s a Native American community center at Portland State University. There’s the Asian-American health and community center on 39th. The Q Center is a place where the LGBT community and our supporters can go when they want resources.

“The Native American Community Center is a good example. They have really moved up with the building of the community center. It gives you the confidence to be an active member of Portland.”

De Haan, naturally, agrees. “Portland’s funny because it’s a very queer town, but there was no hub of queer activity. What the Q Center has the potential to do is provide a sounding board and link people up to resources. “I think there’s definitely a need because the community – as indicated by the growing acronym – is incredibly diverse. We tend to self-segregate. The center represents an amazing opportunity to be proactive.” De Haan says 60 percent of the center’s funding – its operating budget this year is $118,000 – comes from individual donations. The rest is from foundation grants and fundraisers like the Red Dress Party, a raucous annual soiree that this year kicked $6,000 into the financing pot.

Amy S. Williams is grants and development coordinator at the Equity Foundation, which supports LGBTQ efforts and enterprises. She says her organization’s support for the Q Center didn’t end when it became its first benefactor, providing a $6,500 grant. As Williams prepared for a company meeting at the center one evening last week, members of a writing group assembled for their regular get-together in another part of the space.

“We have a meeting space in our building, but we prefer to meet here for two reasons,” she says. “One is to support the Q Center; one is to support the community. “There’s hustle, there’s bustle, it’s a great way to engage with what’s happening,” Williams says. “The more people that come to the center, the more events there are at the center. That’s beneficial to everyone.”

‘Almost a nightclub’ - Apart from simply renting space at their roomy ground-floor quarters on the central east side – not always to gay-oriented groups – center organizers are building a steady platform of events and activities.

There are information and referral services, prevention and wellness activities, and materials on Oregon’s LGBTQ history. There are regular meetings for young men, older folks and queer parents and families, as evidenced by the tiny chairs and smattering of toys in the Kid Korner. And regular art installations are generated by the art collective QuArt PDX. “They have work from artists all across the queer community,” de Haan says. “One program that has been successful in breaking down barriers is the arts and culture. When we have an art opening, it appeals to a whole broad population of the community. If a photograph is taken by a 20-year-old lesbian, you don’t have to be a 20-year-old lesbian to appreciate it.”

The center’s most flamboyant event is a monthly bingo game hosted by the popular female impersonator Poison Waters, who is elsewhere known as Kevin Cook. “It turns into almost a nightclub atmosphere,” Cook says. “It’s kind of loud and obnoxious.” Cook says the bingo party gets going just fine without the benefit of smoke and drink – which is not allowed – possibly even benefiting from its absence. “There are a lot of guys in recovery, or who have a partner in recovery or just work in the morning,” he says. “If they’re homebodies, they can come, have fun and then go home.”

Family affairs - De Haan says the center’s outreach to families both illustrates and addresses the challenges faced by some LGBTQ individuals in mainstream society. She says some Portlanders might underestimate their connection to the queer community until crossing orbits with the straight parents of a gay child, or a child’s classmate who has two moms. “There are some issues that don’t even come to mind immediately,” she says. “One of the women brought up ‘Is my child allowed to say “My mom’s a lesbian” without being reprimanded?’ ” Most people, de Haan says, “probably don’t have the ‘in’ to know that there’s a lesbian parenting group.”

Adams says LGBTQ issues touch everyone in Portland. “Every Portlander interacts with a member of the queer community every day,” he says. “At a minimum, they have to put up with me. The queer community should not be undervalued.”

De Haan says the LGBTQ community will both prosper and galvanize support as it brings its disparate elements together. “There are so many people involved with the center that the center has many different faces,” she says. “I do think it’s always a struggle to realize that we are all part of a similar fight. “Queer folks in Portland are everywhere, and they’re enriching everything that goes on in this city. We’re also fighting for our basic rights. What the center gives us is an opportunity to celebrate this part of our community.” And, she says, “it gives straight allies access to the community.”

Cook, aka Poison Waters, says he’s watched the center open its arms to Portland. All of it. “We’ve had a lot of straight folks coming in, more than I thought,” he says. “It is a Q center, a queer center, but it’s definitely open to everyone. As time goes by, we’ll get more people on board.”

Curbside Catwalk: Portland, OR - December 12, 2006

We caught Kevin C. in a rare dry moment outside the offices of Portland Monthly Magazine where the 38-year-old is an assistant to the publisher. A well-known drag performer by night, Kevin's workday attire is considerably more muted than his alter-ego, Poison Waters. Kevin's wearing:

	grey raincoat: Gap
	black-and-grey striped Alfani sweater: "I don a uniform of black and grey in the winter months. There are so many events right after work, it's easy to appear 'dressed up' while in my signature black."
	black Kenneth Cole slacks: "I bought every color and pattern at a recent sale when Macy's took over our downtown Meier & Frank store."
	black Cole Haan shoes: "Today I'm in one of my many pairs of black. Who needs so many? I do!"
	Argyle socks: "I found the missing mate to this favorite argyle pair this morning in my underwear drawer."
	Umbrella: "It's my best accessory."

PILLOW FIGHTS, WINS While urban pillow fights have struck around the world Portland experienced the soft, fluffy phenomenon for the first time last Friday in Pioneer Square. About 200 down-warriors and another 200 onlookers (including 20 police officers who just hung out and watched) created a giant cloud of feathers within the first few seconds of an event that lasted over an hour. The fight was organized through an anonymous MySpace profile and word of mouth (but our bets are on the merry pranksters of the Portland Cacophony Society). It wasn't sanctioned by Pioneer Courthouse Square Incorporated (the company that books events at the space), which had to call in a special crew to get the ankle-deep feathers removed after the battle ended. Scoop swears some of the pillow fighters helped clean up, too.

WORK IT "You got to get to me if you want to get to her," says Kevin Cook, a.k.a. Poison Waters. One of P-town's most popular female impersonators, Cook is leaving his position as the Special Event Associate for Cascade AIDS Project (after only four months) to become the executive assistant to peripatetic Portland Monthly publisher Nicole Vogel. "I've asked that they put me on the masthead as the official drag queen of Portland Monthly," says Cook, 37. Don't expect Cook to hang up his ball gowns for his new day job, though. He'll still be performing at Darcelle XV on Friday and Saturday nights.

Just Out - November 18, 2005

Poison Waters Joins CAP

After working for 12 years with the state Department of Environmental Quality, Kevin Cook, aka Poison Waters, has accepted a new position with Cascade AIDS Project’s development department, reporting to special events manager Roma Peyser.

“As you can imagine, it’s tough to leave such a comfortable and secure experience, but this new position is such a great fit for my personality, experience and skills as well as the personal desire to continuously grow and challenge myself,” he said. “It’s crazy and genius all at once, and I couldn’t be more thrilled!”

The job began as special events assistant and morphed into special events development associate. Duties include fund raising, soliciting and event planning—all major aspects of Cook’s 17 years of community involvement, including his 10 years as a member of the board and planning committee for Peacock in the Park.

Faust. Us. (Version 2.0)

[NEW REVIEW, CLOSES SATURDAY] Why in hell-or in heaven or especially on earth-can't there be more theater like this? Director Matthew Zrebski has struck gold a second time with this supercharged remount of local playwright Joseph Fisher's Faust parody. Set to sexy original music, and at lightning fast pace, Satan (Neal Starbird), Michael the Archangel (April Magnusson), Tom Moorman the atheist (as himself!) and Becky Sue the fairy princess (Julie Starbird) vie for the soul of virtual reality inventor Faust (Patrick Wohlmut). The role of God is played by a different guest star every night. (The evening I visited, Darcelle's drag queen Poison Waters- "the prettiest lord we've ever had"-donned an enormous feathered Kentucky Derby hat to play the part.) This time around the cast welcomes three newbies-Wohlmut, Melissa Kaiser, and Camille Cettina-and there's a hilarious new bit in which a couple of angels conduct a demographics poll. (Be prepared to fess up if you take it up the ass.) Bravo, Stark Raving, for burning up another tepid summer theater season. JOHANNA DROUBAY. Stark Raving Theatre at CoHo Theatre, 2257 NW Raleigh St., 232-7072. 8 pm Thursday-Saturday. Closes Aug. 6. $10-$20. Thursdays are "pay what you can."

The Oregonian - Richard Wattenberg Special to The Oregonian

"PAGEANT": This fun-filled musical entertainment is more than a glitzy drag show: It's a devilishly playful send-up of old-time, overproduced beauty contests. Conceived by Robert Longbottom, with book and lyrics by Bill Russell and Frank Kelly, and music by Albert Evans, this hilarious extravaganza parodies a world in which a woman's sole function is to look pretty for her man.

Six finalists -- Miss West Coast, Miss Deep South, Miss Great Plains, Miss Industrial Northeast, Miss Texas and Miss Bible Belt -- vie for the coveted honor of being chosen Miss Glamouresse, the official spokesgirl for a line of bizarrely tacky beauty products. Adding zest is the fact that "Pageant" is interactive: At each show different judges are selected from the audience, and a different winner is crowned.

Director Donald Horn keeps the energy high, and the company members all seem to have a blast. Kevin Cook (aka Poison Waters) as Miss Texas won on opening night, perhaps because of his rollicking Texas cowgirl-themed tap dance. Pepe Raphael (pictured) as the pursed-lipped, spicy Latina Miss Industrial Northeast, and Ammon Morris as the ever-spacey, New Age Miss West Coast were runners-up, but each of the six "girls" was something special. Rick Lewis was wonderfully cocky and cool as the Las-Vegas-style lounge singer Emcee. Bill Wells managed the musical direction and the keyboards with finesse, but perhaps most fun were Elizabeth Wright's outrageously garish costumes.

Continues 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays and 5 p.m. Sundays through Dec. 23. Triangle Productions at Theater! Theatre!, 3430 S.E. Belmont St.; $17-$23, 503-239-5919, 224-8499 or www.tripro.org.

... “We’re exploring that interface between straight and gay, because Darcelle really serves as a bridge between those groups. So the club is a segue, a little peek into the gay community. In the film, Poison Waters (a local drag entertainer) describes the performers as eye candy for straights, a way for them to see that gays aren’t so scary.”...
