LogoTV’s NewNowNext Awards were awarded last night in Los Angeles at The Avalon in Hollywood and dozens of LGBTQ superstars and their allies showed up to celebrate and party. We’ll all get to watch the fabulousity on Monday night on Logo, at 10pm, (RuPaul’s Drag Race will air an hour earlier, so take note…) but in the meanwhile, we can dish/trash/praise/snark on the Red Carpet fashions for the GAy-List event. Also note that it sounds like Lobby Bar will show The NewNowNext Awards AFTER their weekly RPDR Viewing Party with Glamazonia and Lily Armani at 8pm so keep that in mind if you don’t have Logo, though we’re guessing it will eventually be available to view on their website.
We start with the divine Yara Sofia for two reasons: 1)I love her, and 2)She looks fabulous in her Yara-ness...no one else could get away with her "look".
I'm not a Carmen Carrera fan, but she DOES know how to dress for an awards show. The dress is beautiful and she does look pretty here...now if she could just do something about her personality and lack of performance talent...oh, and uh, Carmen Electra is in this photo, too, looking like a piece of hard candy in a your Tranma's coffee table candy dish.
OK, Mimi Imfurst was a trainwreck on "Drag Race" but I do like this bitch's camp aesthetic. She has a definite campy/old school/New York Wigstock style to her that I really like. Hopefully she got herself some therapy/'luudes and she's calmed the frack down.
MORE after the jump!!!
I loved Sara Rue when she was a funny fat girl, and I still love her as a skinny, Hollywood Princess and she looks great here though she could have used a bit more oomph with the outfit...a belt? a better skirt? Still, she looks pretty good here...esp. compared to the train wrecks yet to come.
Not a Red Carpet shot, but still, "True Blood" manstud Joe Manganiello is one long tall glass of Chianti...You just wanna grab your Alpine hat and start CLIMBING to his summit and make him YODEL...
Uh, THIS was last year's "Drag Race" runner-up? Raven looks like a truck stop hooker who's been rode hard at a Hell's Angel's gangbang after the Sturgis motorcycle rally...
I'm a big Manila Luzon fan but WTF was she thinking with this AWFUL dress? Here's a litany of my complaints: Bitch, it's not Memorial Day yet, White is a no-no on the RC, you need a tan to wear white anyway AND it makes you look FAT!
I loves me some Stacey Layne Bryant Matthews but apparently you can take the girl out of Back Swamp, but you can't take the Back Fat out of the girl...
James Van Der Beek was the host of this year's NewNowNext Awards and reportedly did a MUCH better job than Mr. Franco at the Oscars...He looks fine here, though I'm a bit over the scarf look for men, and the pants need hemming, but he looks classy in a "Dawson's Creek" kind of way.
MORE photo coverage tomorrow including some shots from the show itself and the after party…which means more snarking and more praise…
