Betsey Johnson's 'Trendy and Transgendy' Celebration of Freedom in Marriage at NY Fashion Week: WATCH
Betsey Johnson's 'Trendy and Transgendy' Celebration of Freedom in Marriage at NY Fashion Week: WATCH
At New York Fashion Week, designer Betsey Johnson’s “celebration of freedom in marriage” bridal drag ball was a smash hit – with gays, drag queens and wedding dresses galore.
Euronews reports:
“Trendy and transgendy. It’s a riot. It’s been the most fun to work on this show. A lot of more new, more abstract ideas. See-through plastic dresses and dresses made out of scuba fabric and horse hair,” she said.
Johnson’s naughty bride-themed collection for next season, cheekily named “Prenup”, featured some rather unconventional outfits, including one shimmering number made out of tin foil cupcake wrappers.
Check out a video of the fashion show in action, AFTER THE JUMP…

'Orange Is The New Black' Writer Divorces Her Husband, Starts Dating Poussey
'Orange Is The New Black' Writer Divorces Her Husband, Starts Dating Poussey
In what is arguably the greatest love story of our time, or at least this week in particular, “Orange Is The New Black Writer” Lauren Morelli has broken up with her husband and since begun dating Poussey (Samira Wiley).
According to Morelli, it was writing scenes for Piper and Alex that gave her clarity on her own sexuality. “I found a mouthpiece for my own desires and a glimmer of what my future could look like,” she said (via TMZ).
TMZ goes on to report that the divorce has gone amicably following the couple’s two years of marriage, with Morelli keeping her Lexus and her ex-husband getting the Mazda hatchback, etc. Yet, as interesting as dividing up luxury vehicles may be the obvious point of this story is that Morelli is now in a relationship with Poussey and our hearts are just swelling with love right now and, hey, they look so good together in this Instagram:

Cheyenne Jackson Marries Boyfriend In Front Of Celeb Friends
Cheyenne Jackson Marries Boyfriend In Front Of Celeb Friends
Entertainer Cheyenne Jackson, 39, has married Jason Landau, his boyfriend of more than a year and who some media outlets are identifying as an entrepreneur (although of what it is unclear), at an estate in Encino, California Saturday night. The couple exchanged rings and vows in front of a group of friends that included Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jane Lynch and Alicia Silverstone. The two men have been engaged since February. It’s been a controversial relationship. Last summer, Jackson divorced his first husband Monte Lapka after being married for two years and after a total of 13 years together and quickly took up with Landau, who according to a source he met at a 12-step meeting.
Jackson posted a photo taken just after the ceremony on his Instagram account with the message “M A R R I E D. Life is beautiful.”
“This means a new beginning for us,”Jackson told People magazine. “It was love at first sight and this is just the culmination of that.”
The Daily Mail reports that Jackson insisted on a woodsy-themed wedding to celebrate his Idaho upbringing.
“There were branches of trees hovering over the tennis court we’re on with over 100 mini chandeliers draping the entire party,” Landau shared. “It was gorgeous.”

Colorado Transgender Teen Crowned Homecoming Princess
Colorado Transgender Teen Crowned Homecoming Princess
On Friday, a transgender teen at Sand Creek High School in Colorado was crowned homecoming princess, making her the first transgender person at the school and, according to KRDO, also the state, to receive the honor.
Scarlett Lenh, who began to identify as transgender earlier this school year, told KCNC-TV:
“It’s just about being yourself. That’s what I want to do, inspire people. I want everyone to know no matter what body you’re in or what mind set you have, being you is the best feeling in the world. No matter what.”
But, according to The Gazette, not everyone is happy about Lenh’s win.
“It’s craziness,” said Jana Neathery, whose granddaughter attends Sand Creek.
“Originally, it was a joke that he was going to be nominated for homecoming princess, but he got a lot of nominations,” she said, referring to Scarlett, “and now there are a lot of upset girls because a spot was taken from them.
“I’m very sympathetic that he’s transgender, but he should be on the boys’ side, not the girls’.”
The school is located in Colorado Springs, which is not only home to Focus on the Family but also the National Association of Evangelicals.
Some of the school’s students agree with Neathery:
“I think it’s wrong because he’s actually a guy, he’s not a girl, and he hasn’t been doing this his entire life – he’s only been recently doing it,” said Jarrod Clarke, a junior at Sand Creek.
“We know him pretty well,” another Sand Creek student who asked not to be identified said of Scarlett. “He’s only cross-dressing, putting on girls’ clothes.”
While some people are upset by Lenh’s win, most of the students have been highly supportive and, as KRDO reports, “only cheers could be heard from the stands” once her name was announced on Friday. Representatives from the district the school sits in have released a statement which also backs her.
“The leaders at Sand Creek High School and in District 49 respect the decision of the Scorpion student body in electing their homecoming court.” The statement went on to say, “Our board policy sets the standard that we do not exclude any person from participating in any program or activity on the basis of gender identity and gender expression.”
