The NEW New York!

This Friday, The Precious Empire showed NYC how to Rock'N Roll!! Taking advantage of the break in between the North American and European dates of Lady GaGa's Monster Ball Tour, my best friends Semi Precious Weapons launched their 13 city headlining Dirty Showbiz Tour featuring my other BFFs Breedlove and Lady Starlight. Playing to a crowd of over 1000 screaming fans, each performer sold it to the back row and blew the roof off of Irving Plaza (where SPW played a year ago on the Perez Hilton Presents Tour). Also, as a special treat for the East Coast dates The Dirty Pearls were added to the list of opening acts. They're not only the hottest rock dudes in NYC but also St. Jerome regulars and even trumpet master/crooner Brian Newman made a guest appearance. An onstage performance piece by moi (where I powdered my face and stared at myself in the mirror, while looking bored) during Breedlove's set only further added to the filthy glaMOUR! It was a perfect evening for our NYC family and a monumental night for our movement....the only one missing was a certain little Lady. Also, some of the most gorgeous names in NYC nightlife glitterati were in attendance including Ladyfag, Miss Guy, Becka Diamond, Tommy Hottpants, Kayvon Zand, Kelle Calco and Mike Furey from Dangerous Muse. Total win! Cheers to the NEW New York!

Drunk Brunch: LA Edition!

On my recent trip to LA last week, I have have discovered the happiest place on earth! No, not Disneyland...although there are rides and it does look like it could be from a warped, alternate reality version of Frontierland. I discovered the Saddle Ranch Chop House in West Hollywood. It's like a drunk brunch dream come true; not only are there mannequins dressed like old west prostitutes as oh so subtle decor....they offer all-you-can-drink unlimited mimosas....wait for it...EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK?!?! What?! Is it actually possible? Should I wipe the mascara from my eyes and pinch myself to see if I'm asleep? Nope. It's true. Another added bonus is that once you have drunk yourself into a stupor...you can take advantage of their mechanical bull rides!! Fuck yes! This place was featured on a Season 3 episode of Sex and the City, where the girls go to LA, Miranda rides the bull and flashes a tit! It seemed appropriate that us 4 New Yorkers would come here on our trip to LaLa Land.

Located about a block from my luxurious hotel, I joined up with The Daughters; Alex Magnetic and The Jocelyn, Jenny Sok-N-Fuck and Semi Precious Weapons' guitar hero Stevy Pyne to drink, feast and ride machinery. The Joce of course made friends with our waiter Chester and he really hooked us up with a plethora of mimosa options; traditional orange, peach, mango, passion fruit, apple, and by that point I was so wasted I don't remember the rest. They started us off with scrumptious bisquets with maple butter, Joce got Mac and Cheese that was slammin', Stevy got a burger that I was pretty jealous of, I got a low carb omelette that was good for what it was.....and Alex got a serving of cotton candy the size of her head. All in all we definitely won at life.

The NEW Frontierland!

Double fisted!

Winning at life!

Just a casual brunch tit out!

Doesn't everyone ride a bull in L'eggs Sheer Energy pantyhose?

NYC's Filthy Family; The Precious Empire!

I'm pleased to announce that Semi Precious Weapons' Justin Tranter has volunteered to be a guest blogger on DarianDarling.com!!! I constantly refer to The Precious Empire in my posts so for those that are confused by that reference, here is the filthy cast of NYC superstars that hold court....

The Precious Empire
by Justin Tranter

I have been honored to slowly but surely meet some life changing insane people who live and die by the non-rules of filthy glaMOUR and Dirty Fucking Showbiz. As a gorgeous gang we hope inspire sex, music, art, gender issues, and love. Thank the baby J we found each other.
