There was the family of Mrs. Ropers challenging the Hotlanta Rubber Group in a fun and racy game of Family Feud. I mean really, when asked, "What is something you eat in bed?" one of the top answers is, of course, "ass." Well, when the crowd surveyed is a bunch of gay men at least.
The Big Gay Game Show — held on the third Wednesday of each month at Jungle — benefits the Lost-n-Found organization that helps homeless LGBT youth. And this month, on Sept. 19, the debut of Dragnificent followed the Big Gay Game Game Show with host Nicole Paige Brooks and judges Phoenix (who is also producing the show), Edie Cheezburger and Nina Flowers of "RuPaul's Drag Race" fame.
Contestants for the first night were asked to express who they are. Competing in order of appearance were: Princess Vanessa, Aliya Sexton, Prima Alexandra, Arriana Paris, Tanyla Cassadine, Evah Destruction, Jai' Na Devereaux, Zaria Bonet Valentino, Peyton Elizabeth, Alexandra Knowles and Daniella Vess.
Tips to the contestants were also donated to Lost-n-Found.
The monthly (every third Wednesday) Big Gay Game Show raised approximately $1,000 for Lost-n-Found during its "fifth episode" on Aug. 15 at Jungle with more than 200 people in attendance donating $5 each.
The evening of raucous and raunchy (and very gay) takes on such shows as "Let's Make a Deal" hosted by Bubba D. Licious and Ian Aber; "The Newlywed Game" hosted by the continually resurrected Wild Cherry Sucret; "Match Game" hosted by Rory Evans; and "Family Feud" with Chandler Bearden asking the questions (but, unfortunately for contestants, no inappropriate smooching).
This month's episode was extra special with a guest appearance by none other than Jonny McGovern, "The Gay Pimp." Seems gay pimps prefer flannel over feathered fedoras.
Everyone's favorite gay gameshow returns tonight to benefit LGBT youth organization Lost-n-Found Youth at Jungle.
Every third Wednesday of the month, local “celebrities” come together to play old television gameshow classics like “The Match Game,” “Family Feud” and “Let's Make a Deal” to raise money for Lost-n-Found Youth, a local nonprofit whose mission is to take homeless LGBT youth off the street and transition them into more permanent housing arrangements. The group operates a 24/7 hotline, as well as a temporary housing facility.
The fun kicks off tonight at 7:30 p.m. with prizes and a special guest appearance from Johnny McGovern, the Gay Pimp, in addition to the gameshows.
Dirty Boys calendar, July 31 election preview and more...
Nothing says, "look at us, we're raising money for homeless LGBT youth," quite like 13 months of local fetish-loving guys in various, um, positions.
I guess if anything is true, it's that sex sells, even for charity.
At least that's the hope of the folks behind the 2012-2013 "Dirty Boys" calendar.
After five years of fundraising for Bikers for Babies and the March of Dimes, "Dirty Boys" calendar coordinator Lizzy Fountain, who "can be found holding up a bar at the Atlanta Eagle with her brothers and sisters of the Panther L/L," was a photographer without a cause. About half way through the project, she received word that the Atlanta chapter of Bikers for Babies was being shut down.
What's old is new again, as the folks over at Lost-n-Found Youth come together Wednesday, May 16, for the second round of the Big Gay Game Show. Tickets for the show are $5.
Lost-n-Found Youth is a local nonprofit whose mission is to take homeless LGBT youth off the street and transition them into more permanent housing arrangements. The group operates a 24/7 hotline, as well as a six-bed housing facility.
Every third Wednesday, the organization enlists a bevy of local celebrities (ahem, including your's truly this month) to play a few rounds of America's favorite classic games shows. Match Game, Let's Make a Deal and Family Feud are slated for May's "episode."
Lost-n-Found is real winner of tonight's event at Jungle
