Q ueer Q uistm as returns fo r yuletide yu cks
Be it cozying up by the fire with a mug of nog or trimming the
Christmas tree, ‘tis the season for family, friends and familiarities. For
Fannie Mae Darling and the rest of PDX’s LGBTQ_armada, seasonal
traditions mean the annual variety show Queer Quistmas.
Now in its fifth year—and at quadruple the size, this festive queer
and queer-friendly romp is back with holiday-themed skits, singing,
dancing, burlesque and comedy, among other acts.
Q Q 2011 features the co-hosting talents of Splendora Gabor, perfor­
mances from the likes of Austin Tatious, Anthony Hudson, Nico Bella
and more. Don’t forget the event’s food and coat drive for Our House
of Portland and Esther’s Pantry—the charitable aspect remains the
most important part of the event for Darling.
“I truly feel that there is a higher purpose for people to go above and
beyond ourselves to help as many as possible who can’t,” says Darling.
All money from bar sales will go directly to event host Q_Center.
And bring your mittens—Quistmas Caroling up Mississippi Avenue
will follow the show.
Sat,. Dec. 17, 8p.m.; Q Center, 4115 N. Mississippi Ave.; $8 advance, tlO
at the door, plus non-perishable foods, coats, clothes and household item dona­
tions; pdxqcenter.org.
