Musto "Interviews" Dragtestant Carmen Carrera

Michael Musto was contacted by RuPaul's Drag Race competitor Carmen Carrera's "people" (person?) for an interview. But the young Ms. Carrera didn't bother to answer Michael's questions - so Musto answered them himself. Here's an excerpt:

Musto: You've said that you wouldn't date someone who does drag because of the drama involved. But you're someone who does drag. Should people not date you? 

Carmen: You mean like when they date the milk at Dagostinos? (pause) 

Musto: Never mind, dear. Good luck on Drag Race. 

Carmen: Don't you play the race card with me, you shady biatch!

Martha Stewart Ain't Got Nothing on Joan Crawford

According to Michael Musto, Joan Crawford once said a good hostess should always keep Seafood Newburg in the fridge "In case your husband brings some of his business associates home for dinner."  Of course this is the same woman who freaked out at wire hangers and beat her children - so I'm not so sure we should be listening to her homemaking advice.

Also, Musto asks - what in the hell is Seafood Newburg??...

Michael Musto Is On Twitter

Imagine my fangirl squeeeeeeeaaalllll of delight when I got this via email yesterday.  You may know Michael Musto from his appearances on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, but for me he is one of the reasons I moved to NYC (read more HERE).

You can follow Michael on Twitter by going HERE.  And don't forget to FOLLOW ME TOO!

Project Fag Hag

According to Michael Musto, Bravo is putting together a reality show based on the book Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys. Read Musto's post HERE.

Looks like Bravo is desperate to hold onto their coalition of gay men and straight women viewers - even if Project Runway finally ends up on Lifetime.

Michael Musto's New Blog

I have been a HUGE fan of writer Michael Musto since the late 1980’s (goodness, I’m getting old!). While attending college at Penn State, my Mom gave me a subscription to The Village Voice because she knew how much I loved New York City. Each week I would DEVOUR Musto’s “La Dolce Musto” column, where he wrote mainly about the various nightclubs and nightlife throughout the city. He was one of the early chroniclers of “The Club Kids” – the wacky semi-celebrities who populated the “downtown” club scene. In fact, I always wanted to BE Michael Musto – I thought writing a nightlife/gossip column would be the absolute best job in the world. In many ways, he is the reason why I moved to New York City in the first place – his column made the city sound like THE place to be.

After I moved to NYC in the early 90’s, I used to see Michael almost every Saturday at the Roxy – the HUGE gay Saturday night party that absolutely EVERYONE went to. I have also spotted him in various other bars, on the street, and even my favorite diner (the Westway Diner on 9th Avenue). And I have always been too chicken-shit to speak to him and thank him for being funny, fabulous, and a great writer. Maybe some day he’ll read this and I won’t have to.

I even answered his call once while working as the receptionist at the Hard Rock Cafe. He was RSVPing for an event, and I STILL didn't have the balls to say anything - I just passed his call through to the Public Relations department. Pitiful!

He still writes his Village Voice column, although he now focuses much more on REAL celebrities and Broadway – not just nightclubs. And I STILL read it every week (in fact, it is the ONLY reason why I would even open a Village Voice anymore). He also does celebrity commentary on Countdown With Keith Olbermann, and the E! network.

So imagine my surprise when I found out today (through Lady Bunny’s Blog) that Michael now has his very own BLOG – “La Daily Musto”. PURE HEAVEN! I get a daily dose of all things FABULOUS – and I don’t have to wait until for the Voice each week!
