Our favorite Brooklyn-born desi female artist, Chitra Ganesh, will be showcasing her newest installation at PS1 MOMA this Sunday, October 25th from 12-6, to coincide with the museum’s fall opening. The piece is called “Silhouette Returns” and just from the image in Time Out New York, it looks amazing.

We invite you to view a video that was shot at our infamous Bye Bye Bush Bash from 2004 at Pepper in Tribeca. It was such a fun and exciting time to be in NYC, with the GOP invasion of our fair city for their 2004 Republican Convention.

We were unable to make the big march this past weekend in DC, but have been living vicariously through the tweets and FB postings from those that attended. Our best recap to date is from Out Magazine’s Tim Murphy and his piece, “The 10 Things I Learned at the Big Gay March”. And, I could completely relate to his fashion commentary on DC queers, having spent two years in a

Thanks to After Ellen for the heads up on the new queer desi subplot to come out of Bollywood, in the movie “3 Nights 4 Days”. The movie is set at a college reunion in Goa with Madhuri Bhattacharya as Zoha, who is disowned by her “affluent Hyderabadi Muslim family” due to her “bisexuality”. Regardless, she leads a successful life as a fashion designer and has a long-time crush on
