Eight years ago Ray & I saw Jake Shears as Charlie in Kinky Boots — my third time seeing the show and still pure feel-good magic. I first saw Stark Sands & Billy Porter in the original cast, unforgettable. And yes… we randomly ran into Jake at dinner before curtain. Perfect NYC night. 🎭✨

Loved every second of Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. And this message is EVERYTHING we need right now!

Ok aside from the fact that this banger of a halftime show is going to give the right wing a collective heart attack, which is fucking awesome, how about the technical wizardry that went into that one camera take through the hedge maze

Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou: The fact that the very people who are meant to lead this country have completely retraumatized us… it’s—I mean—it’s like being raped by the Department of Justice.
