January's a Drag!

Logo creates a... National History Month???

In the spirit of corporate-concocted holidays (cough cough Sweetest Day cough cough), Logo, MTV's very-own gay channel, is promoting January as Drag History Month. Logo's hot-topic, philanthropic, anthropologic creation could be construed as a marketing scheme to get us watching RuPaul's Drag Race. But honey, we're already there! An open letter to Logo's Marketing VP:

Dear Handsome,

I was going to blog about it anyway. You didn't have to create some cockamamie fake holiday month to get me to pay attention.

Love,
Andy
P.S.: Send rubbers and uppers…
