My night with Bloody Birthday's Julie Brown

No, not "Downtown Julie Brown", which everyone seems to get a kick out of asking. The OTHER MTV Julie Brown, the one with actual talent. Yes, the star of such classics as Bloody Birthday, Earth Girls are Easy and Medusa: Dare to Be Truthful performed a few live shows in NYC last weekend and I was there, poster and VHS tape in hand, to see the show and ambush her afterward.

Julie looks like she hasn't aged a day in a decade and she pulled out all her gayest hits, kicking off with "Hey Hey Hey I Wanna Be Gay" and pulling guys up onstage to perform "Girl Fight Tonight" and making male audience members sing the chorus to "I Like 'Em Big and Stupid" and "Shut Up and Fuck Me". Yes, it was a family show.

Afterward CampBlood "Special" Correspondent Chuckie and I ambushed Julie with a horde of other queens. The guys who got to her first had a bunch of her albums and Medusa DVDs (yawn!) but as she was signing them she spotted what I was holding and yelped, "IS THAT BLOODY BIRTHDAY!?" Everyone wanted to touch me. It was awesome.

Anyway, she was a doll and laughed about the movie and signed my video box and a hilarious Italian poster for my dear friend Tintorera Joe. And Chuckie even snapped a picture of me with her, but as Joe's Pub has a drink minimum and huge martinis, we were sloshed and the pic is fuzzy.

And yes, I am wearing the same t-shirt that I have worn in every pic of me on this site. It's my celebustalk good luck shirt, and it's never let me down, so you all can suck it.

Put down the gun and tiara and come out of the float

I'll freely admit, I'm waaaaay more excited about this than I should be.

This coming weekend CampBlood "Special" Correspondent Chuckie and I are going to see one of my all-time favorite actresses/personalities/songwriters, Julie Brown.

No, not THAT Julie Brown, the other one. The redhead? From Just Say Julie, back when MTV was actually fun? Earth Girls Are Easy? "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun"?

Nothing? Um... the chick who takes her top off and gets an arrow in her eye from her evil little sister in Bloody Birthday? Aaaaaahhhhh, that's it. Yes, her. LOVE. HER. Aside from writing and starring in the best furry alien sex comedy musical that Damon Wayans ever appeared in, she introduced the phrase "harder and more often" (via Medusa: Dare to Be Truthful) into my life. And for that I owe her everything.

I'm going to try to ambush her and get her to sign my old VHS box and a hilarious overseas Bloody Birthday poster for my pal Tintorera Joe. And who knows, maybe I'll get my pic taken with her in the same fucking t-shirt I seem to be wearing every time I have my photo taken with a celebitty.

In the meantime, enjoy this rather hilarious fanvid of Bloody Birthday (set to Smashing Pumpkins' "1979", of all things!), which starts out with the scene in question.
