he by female singers, and they’ll offer drink spe
cials as well. Although the Eagle has historically
attracted a mostly male clientele, it does draw
women for special events, such as the Uniform
Party, which is apt to pull in a bevy o f female
amiy officers. Another feminine presence is felt
on Fridays, when lesbian Ixxitblack Deb does
duty making everyone spiffy.

A different kind o f art is on view at
Groundzero, the new installation space at
Groundswell Gallery, 1800 N.E. Alberta St.
Multimedia artist Richard Schemmerer has
traipsed around the neighborhood, digital cam
era in hand, and recorded the ongoing transfor
mation o f this part of Portland. W hile he was at
it, he picked up interesting found objects and
used some of them as mounting surfaces for his
photos. T he result is a community portrait docu
menting the transitional period. Schemmerer
invests his work with a strong social conscious
ness and clearly cares about this neighborhood.
“Alberta still has the naive humanity of an
exploring child, with the dangers of misguided
decisions around every comer.” He urges people
to see it now, “before this solid raw jewel is cut
into traasparent pieces.”
A new c ro w n e d head
Portland’s own Misha Rockafeller competed
earlier this month in a regional pageant and
sashayed off with the
title Miss Gay N orth
west America. Sh e’s
the first winner from
Portland in the 29
years o f the pageant.
Misha successfully
navigated the endless
rules and was a smash
with her talent perfor
mance, a rendition of
Lucille Ball’s famous
Vitameetavegamin
routine. In fact, she
got a standing ovation
at the contest, which was held in Sacram ento,
Calif. She and her entourage head for the Miss
Gay America finals O ct. 4 to 8 in Little Rock,
Ark. You go, girl!

Howie Baggadonutz is bringing a cutting-edge
performer to Portland with her Obie-winning
spin as a Menopausal Gentleman. Peggy Shaw,
legendary founder of the lesbian theater compa
ny Split Britches, gives a hilarious performance
as a butch lesbian grandmother going through
the Big Change. Although the show confronts
aging, it’s not about decline but rather about
gaining strength as a woman. Shaw also toys
with gender perceptions, because she is often
mistaken for a man. The show will be presented
two nights only, Oct. 6 and 7, with the opening
night and reception for the star benefiting the
Lesbian Community Project. Tickets are avail
able from It’s My Pleasure, In Other Words or
Fastixx. Call (503) 203-3305 for details.
