If you haven’t already, you should look for this shining face on the cover of this week’s SF Bay Guardian! Fine, so you have to look below Cazwell and Amanda Lepore, and even though I don’t want to hate, I wouldn’t be a queen if I didn’t read that crappy crop job they did on my face. But still. I am on Cloud Nine!

So many thanks to Marke B, who is not only a cutie patootie and a sweetheart, but also one of the funniest writers in the Bay Area (and that’s saying a lot with some of the other kids we’ve got up in here), for helping to make this happen!

It’s come to my attention that some boys and girls aren’t sure what to wear to my special day, so I thought I’d offer some inspiration. In coining the term “Synagogue Chic” I was really thinking geographically and temporally: Queens / Long Island / New Jersey circa 1994-98. You could probably add to that list such places as LA or maybe Miami (definitely Boca) with slight variations, and you could even go as far back as the 80s. But you get the gist. Pick your reference point as you see fit. Keep in mind there will be at least one photographer on the premises!
I’ve compiled a list of pictures that inspire me. Feel free to link to your own unique inspirations as well!
Let’s start with my ultimate fantasies:
And of course, I would be remiss if I did not include:
Unfortunately, I could not find better pictures of Yetta or Freida! Which is essentially a crisis of international proportions. Really, they’re the real deal. (If you want extra credit, watch these videos.)
Summary thus far:
