Bawdy Storytelling

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)

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.

What is Substack?

Substack is an email newsletter platform (made up of text, audio, video, etc) known for its hands off approach to censorship. While there are still some publishing guidelines (no porn, hate speech or harassment, for example), the platform’s lack of gatekeeping has attracted both ground-breaking journalists and some seriously controversial writers”. https://blog.hootsuite.com/what-is-substack/

(My Substack launch has been delayed by my life’s latest calamity, but it’ll start soon. I’m making plans!)

What would it look like to Win the Pandemic? Comedian Alyssa Westerlund breaks up with her boyfriend at the beginning of Lockdown, and she’s been dealing with the loneliness and depression of a deep-in-COVID world with Ayahuasca, DMT and blueberry smoothies. Then one sizzling August night, she’s dancing naked in her living room when she feels her much younger neighbor’s eyes on her. He confesses that he’s in awe of her after listening to her having sex with strangers for years, and soon they’re chatting, playfully eating ice cubes off/out of each other and doing push-ups. He’s only 21 and she still doesn’t know his name, but they have a standing date for a twice a week bang - and that means things are looking up. #MeetYourNeighbor #HeatWave #BestSexOf2020 #BusinessmansTrip

 

Song: ’Naughty Girl Blues’ (Queen Herby)

 

About our Storyteller:

 

Alyssa Westerlund's sweet, innocent looks belie her wicked sense of humor and spot on delivery. She inspires women and melts men, like toy soldiers in the microwave. Alyssa's stories will rip your guts out, tear your heart to pieces, grab you by the genitalia and not let go until you're in stitches.

 

Oh, and join our Patreon (at any level) and you can watch the video of Alyssa’s story, TOO:
