There's still not a lot of information on this story, but we wanted to get the word out there. Peaches Christ, aka Joshua Grannell, long time collaborator and friend of the deceased, said in an article, "To get the London Police to take more action has been something Nancy and I have been pushing for since the tragedy began. Why has it taken this long? There is so much more to this story that will have to be told." If you have any information on the three men last seen around the area, please do not hesitate to contact proper authorities in the UK. The Met Police is asking anyone with information in connection to Heklina's death to call 101 quoting CAD1824/03Apr23 The Creeps also mention cute tiny bottles, horror movies, the Last Drive In, and Matt missing his cue. We promise Matt will teach Kelsey who all the actors mentioned are, eventually...

Have you ever had anyone pay you to pee in their fern? Grrrl, that's number 5 on Heklina's list, so brace yourself! Legendary Drag Legend Heklina died on April 3rd in London while performing Mommy Queerest with Peaches Christ, and San Francisco's Castro district shut down hard last week for Heklina's Memorial. It was a sold out cavalcade of drag royalty live onstage at the Castro theater, plus they shut off the street and broadcast the performances on a Jumbotron for thousands outside, and over 10,000 fans watched it live from all over the world. Why am I telling you this? Because after years of saying No to performing at Bawdy, Heklina said Yes to Dixie a few years ago, so we have her story! Enjoy this beloved rim queen's bizarre medley of shocking true tales - we'll miss her trademark cackle and irreverent joie de vivre forever. Plus Dixie gets a phone call that reminds her that her work really matters, so this week's Ramble has way less tears (is that good or bad? You tell me)   Drag | Castro Theater l TShack l Jumbotron | Murder | Livestream | Rim Chair l Satanic Vagina | Grief l Celebration | Cackle | Volcano l Death l life-changing phone call l Punk l Art l The Golden Girls l   Song: 'You Only Live Once' (Rachel Lark)   About our Storyteller:   Stefan Grygelko (June 17, 1967 – April 3, 2023), better known by the stage name Heklina, was an American actor, drag queen, and entrepreneur in San Francisco. Grygelko's mother was Icelandic, and having been born in the U.S., he lived in Iceland in the 1980s; he named his drag character after the Icelandic volcano Hekla. Heklina founded the drag club Trannyshack in 1996.

Long before drag was a mainstay of reality television, LGBTQ+ folks turned to drag for fun, to challenge society and explore their gender through an artistic, comedic and performative lens.Sadly, we recently lost two fierce drag legends who meant a lot not just to us, but the world.Heartbreaking. In March, JoJo Baby died from cancer at the age of 51.An early guest of our podcast, JoJo was a beloved Chicago nightclub personality and entertainer who dazzled patrons with their outlandish looks and puppetry.And just last week, Heklina, who shaped the modern drag scene in San Francisco with their wildly popular and irreverent Trannyshack shows at the club STUD was found dead at the age of 55 in her London hotel by her dear friend Peaches Christ.Today we remember two queer culture legends, Chicago's JoJo Baby and San Francisco's Heklina, who both died this past month and the impact they had on so many people's lives, including ours.Plus-➤ Everybody's daddy Pedro Pascal plays a gay cowboy in Pedro Almodóvar's Western Short ‘Strange Way of Life.'➤ Billy Porter is set to play novelist, activist and essayist James Baldwin.➤ Equality Florida issues an advisory warning for LGBTQ+ travelers.Episode #3074

We are heartbroken.San Francisco legend Heklina was found dead in her hotel room on Monday morning in London by her longtime friend, collaborator and co-star Peaches Christ. Over the years we taped so many good shows with Heklina that it's hard to pick one, so this week we're reposting our favorites to celebrate the amazing life and legacy of this amazing comedian and drag queen. Along with her gal pal Peaches Christ, Heklina shaped and created the modern drag scene in San Francisco with their wildly popular and irreverent Trannyshack shows and nights at STUD. After the name change of the shows to Mother, Heklina and Peaches moved their events to Oasis, a bar she co-founded with her longtime friend D'Arcy Drollinger. Heklina touched so many people's lives, including ours. A fierce, original drag queen with a wonderfully twisted sense of humor, Heklina was a popular guest in the early days of our podcast Feast of Fun, back when we called it Feast of Fools. Later on she went on to create her own podcast “Drag Time with Heklina” where she interviewed many notable queer artists including Ana Matronic of the Scissor Sisters. Back in 2006, our first live podcast in San Francisco featured Heklina in it, and she was so befuddled about what the Internet was that in a rare moment, she showed up out of drag in her everyday clothes for the show. Despite always being super busy, Heklina took time to visit with us whenever we were in town or when she came to Chicago. It's devastating to think about the sorrow, but it's comforting to know that her humor, style and rascally nature lives on in the lives of so many artists, LGBTQ+ folks and the people who loved her in San Francisco. Thanks for all the memories, laughs and fun Heklina. Here's what we think her twisted sense of humor would have said about her own death: “The next roast of Heklina will be held at Fleischmann's Crematorium.”--------- Originally posted FOF #2344 - Heklina Will Not Be Silenced - 06.14.16Heklina is a living legend- she started her amazing drag show in San Francisco way back in 1996. This iconic night of drag, then known as Trannyshack, ignited the careers of countless entertainers including Lady Gaga, Peaches Christ and Ana Matronic.Over the years, Heklina saved her dollar tips and got some friends to invest in her own club Oasis only to rebrand the drag show as Mother and not without a little controversy.Today, Heklina joins us to take a look at the horrific shooting in Orlando and how gay bar owners are responding to the violence.Plus--• How drag queens have gone from being fringe acts to mainstream attractions.• Why San Francisco can't have nice things.• Facebook may delete all your photos if you don't install this app.• Heklina's tips on picking up a straight guy on Craigslist!

We recorded this episode on Monday, April 3rd, moments after learning the shocking news about legendary drag queen Heklina, a beloved figure in the nightlife scene. We carried on, as Heklina would have wanted us to, and covered the Doom Loop, and rumors about the upcoming 2023 elections

This week, Bunny and Monét welcome Heklina to the podcast to talk about how she first met Bunny, Gay culture and references between different generations and how they feel about children at drag shows. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

She has a new book which literally will not stay on the shelves at City Lights Books, which examines a life of performance and recalls some of the more indelible moments of Trannyshack. It's called “Fauxqueen: A Life in Drag by Monique Jenkinson” available January 25th, 2022 from Amble press  or wherever you get fine books, and we love it!  Listen in to this episode to Drag Time to find out why!

We ask her about her legendary work as an image maker, including 7 years of training in couture, followed by the fashioning of David Bowie with designer Freddie Burretti. She tells us about making the deals and getting the means to build the team to make the shows look the way they wanted them to look in those early days, including David Bowie's transformation from folk strummer to glam superstar. We wanted to know about her 1982 appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test, with Mick Karn from the English new wave band Japan and she tells us everything! Nerd Alert! Marc had to know all about Angie's interest in Marvel and DC comics, including her role in visioning Wonder Woman (as we know her). It turns out to be one of those fascinating show-business gotcha stories. She and Stan Lee were both ahead of their time. We get to find out what they might have done together if only they had access to the technology of computers at the time…but you really have to hear her tell it. You can also check out all of her books on her website www.AngieBowie.net, which is a great place to pick up a gift for that special someone such as an autographed copy Backstage Passes, Lipstick Legends, POP.SEX and more!

We find out everything you need to know about the vibes, the programming, and the queer world created by Frankie and his supporters.
