Makeup Extravagaaanza
	Supermodel Enza puts on an extra coat for this TV, film and salon beauty bonanza. We meet up with colorful folks like Cargo's creative director Barbara Alexander, Jayne Hobbs of Salon Magazine and "Sabino."
Homo History
	October is of course Halloween, and our host/historian Alan takes a look at the queer community's most campy holiday. Although it seems like we've taken over Church Street on this night forever, things weren't always so... gay. Starting with "Letros" in the 1940s and the Yonge Street drag queen/goon clashes at the "St. Charles," we review the struggles that we take for granted today.
Strange Sisters Cabaret at Buddies
	Staged for women, by women, the Strange Sisters Cabaret has been raising money for Buddies in Bad Times Theater for 12 years. This year's performers included "The Fabulous Drag Kings," where our host Chris(topher) spends her (his?) free time.
"Dragging it Outta' You"
	Speaking of Chris(topher), we venture out to the St. Lawrence Market to ask het folk shopping on a muggy Sunday morning whether gay men really have more fashion sense. If nothing else, apparently we're "brighter."
"Village Voice"
	Our new series has taken off like wildfire, with a great crowd by "The Steps" on Saturday nights to tell us what's on their mind. This time we've got some drag queens, some folks from the gay deaf community, and a lesbian proposal!
Pansy Division at the Reverb
	Pansy Division, San Francisco's all-gay rock band stopped in town recently during their tour into "Manada" (their tribute song to the Great White North). In addition to a chat with the boys, we close with one of their videos.
