Varla Jean Merman has a very dirty laugh. We managed to grab some alone time (well, with our cameras) with this Southern Gal turned Super Star who regaled us with (some of) the dirt from her summer starring in her hilarious new show ‘A Little White Music’ at the Arthouse in P.Town. Miss Merman admits that she is a lady who just cannot say ‘no’ ( and we are not talking about her hot new beau Jessie), as she said yes again to Ryan Landry and is co-starring with him in his parody ‘Brown Is The New Pink’, plus directing Well Strung in their new summer show too.
Now in her 18th year performing in P Town, Varla Jean Merman is considered ‘Royalty’ by the crowds who pack her shows every night, but that still doesn’t stop het acting less of a lady when the mood takes her. Check out the interview and you’ll see just why P Town cannot get enough of this disarmingly charming 6’2′ redhead hunk in a frock.
Miss Merman is still not to busy to be ruthless however when need be, so she sat down with queerguru the other evening to talk about whatever happened to Mrs Danvers and other hilarious stories from her summer so far. The whole interview will go live and be aired on P.T.V. (and here ) very soon when our Editor stops laughing. Meanwhile here is a wee clip of our conversation with one of P Town’s Royalty and our favorite 6’2″ redhead in a dress.
The great 18th Century English writer Samuel Johnson once famously wrote “when a man is tired on London, he is tired of life.”queerguru feels the same about P Town but as mid-summer fatigue sets in with some residents here, it is so heartening how a fresh set of eyes reminds us (yet again) how magical our town really is. Take a look & listen at actor Gilles Marini (Sex & The City, Brothers & Sisters, Dancing With The Stars) in town as one of the bikers taking part in Kiehls #Liferide7 that is raising funds and awareness to help amFAR Make Aids History and support the AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod too.
A charming Marini waxed lyrically about the Event and P Town in particular and told queerguru‘If the World was more like P Town, it would definitely be a better place”.
queerguruwith Judy Rolfe filmed the whole #Liferide7 visit to P Town for P.T.V. and our video of the event with interviews with ALL the stars will go live as soon as we can finish editing it.
queerguru’s hat is off to Chris SalgardoPresident of Kiehls Since 1851, as not only did he pull off another spectacular and highly successful LifeRide fundraising event for amFAR, but we soon discovered when he and his fellow riders rolled into Provincetown this morning, that everybody involved was having such a blast as well.
Salgardo was accompanied by some of his celebrity buddies on this 11 day trip, but as we interviewed them all for P.T.V, it was very clear that he hardly had to twist their arms to go biking with him.
We’ll have our full report on the fun time they (and we) had, and exactly how much money and awareness that they made, and about their support for the AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod, as soon as our editor has spun their magic with all the footage we shot. Meanwhile as a teaser trailer here is our interview with one of LifeRide’s regular riders Ben Cohen the ex England Rugby Player, now an activist and Founder of The Ben Cohen Stand Up Foundation (that combats bullying) ….. and a Throughly Nice Chap too.
When we went to interview Marilyn Maye the other day, we spotted the legendary 9 Emmy Award Winning Costume Designer BOB MACKIE trying to have a peaceful cup of coffee on the porch of The Anchor Inn in Provincetown. We literally pounced on him to ask if would allow us to finish a conversation we had last summer when we had also come across him unexpectedly and turned on our cameras.
Luckily for us, this Hollywood and TV icon is one of the most generous men we have ever had the good fortune to meet, and he agreed.
