2005 WeHo Award Winner - Outstanding Popular Male Personality

One classy broad

J a c k i e B e a s t

What? b - e - a - t? Really? Oh, she looks like... Sorry, easy mistake.

Look at her. She's special. Really. I mean it... she's special. Isn't she?

What a broad. She's classy; good lookin'; one helluva dame. Isn't she?

I hear she's packing her girdle and headin' off on a whirlwind tour.

She'll be getting off that short bus and coming to a stage near you.

(Most tickets are still available, perfomance dates nowhere near sold out.)

Teach? Taught!

Love Ya. Kisses. Muahh!

Jonathan Chang ~ Socialite Extraordinaire

2005 WeHo Award Winner - Outstanding Popular Male Personality

X rated blind item

X rated blind item: What two well known socialites, who are usually seen together like peas in a pod, where spotted giving a blow job (to a 20 year old latino with specs appeal) in the parking lot of a strip mall in the 909? My spies tell me that they were trying to hide behind an SUV but were not able to keep the incident under luxurious wrap. The two took turns. Gucci, Tiffany & Co., and Idols were involved. When they were spotted, the more extravagant one said to the other, "We have to get out of here, my Escalade is not insured in this area code!" Have a clue? Write me at jonathanrchang@yahoo.com

Love ya. Kisses. Muahh.

2005 WeHo Award® "Outstanding Popular Male Personality" Winner, Jonathan Chang ~ Socialite Extraordinaire®

2005 WeHo Award Winner - Outstanding Popular Male Personality: Jonathan Chang!

2005 WeHo Award® "Outstanding Popular Male Personality" Winner: Jonathan Chang ~ Socialite Extraordinaire ®.

I was truly shocked and surprised at the result. I began this adventure just intrigued and thankful to have been nommed. Especially since the noms included Bill Bouvier, Billy Masters, Bobby Trendy, Chad Hudson, Hector Monserratte, Mark Stuplin, Robert Corrado and Tattoo Chris. I am familiar with all of them. In fact, I consider most of them as good friends. I expected the votes for Bobby Trendy and I to cancel each other out, as we know so many of the same people and we do so many things together. But such was not the case. Bobby was very supportive before, during and after the event and throughout all of the pre-parties and after-parties.

The evening began with a small, intimate, private party at Bobby Trendy Designs Showroom, then off to Hollywood where we were poolside at the David Hockney Pool, at the Tropicana Bar, at the Cabana Room Bar and in the Blossom Ball Room for the Awards Ceremony.

I was at table 7, surrounded by friends, Sally Parry, Patrick Vettraino, Philip Solis, Ivan Lukich, Bobby Trendy, Matthew Fashion, Lucky Romero, Bobby Beltran, David Cohen and his beautiful blond colleague from Pink Magazine. Unfortunately, I can't seem to remember her name at the moment, but it'll come to me, I swear.

I kept on leaving the ceremony so that I could my Jonathan Divatini's at the Library Lobby Bar, where people kept on coming by to ogle a scruffy Keanu Reeves, who was next to me at the bar, as we both were served by my bartender, Louis Gans. After the Award Ceremony we we attended a private after party in Anthony Cortez' 8th floor suite at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, before traveling back to West Hollywood to attend the Governor's Ball, the Official WeHo Awards after-party, at i-Candy Lounge. Then back to Hollywood to the ChUukEy's V-VIP domain, the Lounge Thursdays, beyond the VIP area above Tigerheat at The Arena.

I want to thank my friend Sally, for attending the event as our personal security detail. She was actually a guest, but kept everything on track by being our chauffer, bodyguard and friend. Bobby and I planned on making our grand entrance in some over the top Trendy Designs couture. She graciously offered to drive us in her beautiful new Lincoln Aviator SUV. I guess she couldn't help it, she owns a Private Investigation company and never quite got out of that secret service mindset. She kept us on track. She got us to the Awards Ceremony on time and then took us to all five of the after parties. She drove Bobby to his West Hollywood (Beverly Hills adjacent) home, then drove to my home in Woodland Hills, before she finally got to drive to her own home. She was a trooper and I appreciate her. Especially when I found out that she was scheduled for surgery 6 hours later!

I can't wait to see a complete list of all of the winners. In all of the excitement and commotion, moving back and forth between the ballroom, lobby bar, backstage, the greenroom, the pressroom, and after winning my awared, rushed to the WeHo Award Winner's Lanai and the press room for sound bytes and photo-ops with journalists/photographers in the press room.

Again, thank you, for honoring me, Jonathan Chang ~ Socialite Extraordinaire®, with a 2005 WeHo Award. I was not able to see all of the other category awards, however, the following nominees also received a 2005 WeHo Award: Jill Jay, Manny Lehman, Tom Whitman, Lorenzo Gomez, Carrolyn Corrado-McClelland, i-Candy Lounge, Rage, IN Los Angeles Magazine, Andy Santiago and Jeff Kawakami. Congratulations to you all!

Love ya. Kisses. Muahh! (Please cue my theme song: Money! Succes! Fame! Glamour!) In the tradition of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, I shall now and forever more, be...

World Aids Day 2005

AIDS does not discriminate. It is not a problem exclusive to the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered community. AIDS is a pandemic, a global epidemic affecting all of humanity.

The World AIDS Campaign (WAC) has chosen the following as its theme from 2005 – 2010: “Stop AIDS. Keep the Promise.”

After two decades of AIDS, we know that with sufficient will and resources we can turn this epidemic around. Everyone has a role to play in fighting HIV and AIDS and as Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General, said at the UN General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS, "All of us must recognize AIDS as our problem. All of us must make it our priority."





For additional information, please click on the World Aids Campaign hyperlink or visit the following URL: http://www.worldaidscampaign.info/index.php/wac/wac

Today, December 01, 2005, is World Aids Day. Please take a moment to remember those that we have lost to this pandemic. We have all been affected, one way or another. We have lost friends, family, partners, colleagues and heroes. Let's mourn their passing, but let's also celebrate their lives and the way that they have touched us.

Let's renew our commitment to turn this pandemic around. Let's be aware. Let
s educate ourselves and others. Let's volunteer. Let's donate our time and resources. Let's fight the pandemic. Let's win the battle!

Love ya. Kisses. Muahh.

Reefer Madness at The Lounge Thursdays above Tigerheat at The Arena

Absolutely fabulous. Sinfully divine. Definitely, nothing to be sniffed at.

The V I P V I P area of

the V I P area above

at is hot!

As I've mentioned before, Jason Lavitt, The Lounge Partners, Paul Nicholls, Wayne Castro and VIP Coordinator par excellence, Steve "ChUukEy" Manchuca have got their finger on the pulse of the young gay community.

I have a great time everywhere. Upstairs hanging out with the seasoned ones. Let's just call them in-be-twinks. Downstairs, chicken hawk paradise, as you come upon a sea of dancing, half naked, barely legal ones.

Well, barely legal as in over 18, but not quire old enough to purchase a Jonathan Divatini.

They're having two events!. The first one is a Reefer Madness DVD release party, with cast and crew, and all the twinks you can handle.

It's also one of a 2005 WeHo Awards Nominee event. Yes, an official 2005 WeHo Awards Voting Station will be available, and of course, you can find moi and the rest of my co-nominees!

Don't forget to vote for me, Jonathan Chang ~ Socialite Extraordinaire, under the "Favorite Male Personality" Category. Vote for me, and I'll be your BFF!

Meet me there tonight. Let's talk to ChUukEy and get a table. We'll order bottle service and toast the evening with a Jeroboam Perrier Jouet!

Love ya. Kisses. Muahh!

Getting involved...

As you may already be aware, my philanthropic ideal, is to provide assistance to individuals who may, temporarily, find themselves in an unfortunate situation, but are not swayed into a feeling of entitlement by said situation. In other words, helping those who don't blame everyone else for their predicament, nor demand support from others, while letting thee circumstance become an excuse to give up, expecting someone else to provide a solution to their predicament. I especially respect those who work hard to get out of their situation & once they're out, give back to their community, never forgetting the struggle that they endured.

Having said that, I want you to know that there are many ways to give back to our community and our society. For example, I received a message from my friends, Jill and Sheila, J&S, with information about an opportunity to get involved and to help another human being. I am passing on the information, because I believe that it is an opportunity for some of us to be involved with our community. I am keeping all names general as and will provide their contact information, upon request, as I do not want them to be inundated with calls from unknown, yet well meaning, individuals unless I have their specific consent to do so.

J&S are advising their friends, that they have been trying to be good citizens by getting involved with social service organizations such as the “Food on Foot” program. Through this activism, Jill and Sheila have been apprised of a certain young individual, S. G., that has been going through hard times. This individual was once homeless and received the assistance and benefit of their “hot meal” delivery program. With a series of kind offers, she was able to give back and work for various food donation programs and eventually afford an apartment of her very own. However, she is not out of the woods just yet. You see, she is now in need of various, useful, household items such as towels, utensils, pots, pans, etc.

Be aware that J&S are not seeking monetary donations. They just want to be able to facilitate the identification, collection and delivery of said items, thereby contributing to the young woman’s present and future success. They have offered to come by and pick up and drop off the items to SG personally.

Therefore, if you have any of these items that may not be getting much use due to duplication, or, for example, due to the fact that someone, like me, does not cook or clean and therefore, has no clue as to how to use said items, then send me an e-mail and I will put you in touch with J&S. I, myself, will provide access to my storage space, because everything in there, would be better utilized elsewhere.

------

So, you have a few things, laying around, collecting dust and decided to contact J&S to donate those items? You cleaned up some clutter and you helped a needy individual? Thank you. Thank you, so very much! Why stop there? There are various ways to help and be involved. Such as donating money, clothes, volunteering at an event, or even hosting a party or benefit. Thanksgiving volunteers come to mind! If you're interested in getting further involved, or would like additional information, please visit the FOF website http://www.foodonfoot.org/.

More confessions...

"Confessions of a Socialite Extraordinaire" is on Friendster, Myspace & Blogger.

Instinct Magazine's Marcus Reynaga confessed that he blew 31c andles not < men at his party "Confessions of a Birthday Boy"at i-Candy Lounge.

One of my very best friends, Booby "I want something in my hole" < Trendy, confessed that, contrary to popular opinion, he is not the queeny, vaguely asian, 30-something male, a so-called celebrity interior designer, who will attack furniture with a glue gun, turkey feathers and yards of shag carpeting to bring out that luxurious quality so that he can jack up the price 6000% when it is featured in his display window at Bobby Trendy Design. He denies being a 33 year old vietnamese male. < No. He insists that he is actually a woman. A rich, young, caucasian, female, in her mid twenties, with impeccable beauty and taste. Booby? I understand the female issue, because you were never male to begin with, but, sweetie? Darling! You really can't keep on subtracting a year every time you go in for some work. Not even for a major overhaul. You've subtracted 9 years now. They'll eventually find out that you were born on 12/11/1972. < About that caucasian thing. Sweetie, cock-asian and caucasian are homophones. No, not gay phones or phones for gays. Homophones are words that sound alike without any contextual similarity. That means they sound alike, but don't really mean the same thing. Mmm-kay? By the way sweetie, we need to do more PR Marketing for your custom, luxury, event & the moderate, mainstream, party furniture rental business with Ritchie. Let's help him make some money, so he can buy Saff some books and a car. Mmm-kay?

It seems that everyone, everywhere, has been confessing. Teenage Drama Queens. Dangerous Minds. Womanizers. Even Karl Rove!

"Sorry, Future Lovers. I Love New York. Don't get Hung Up on Forbidden Love. Don't Push me Isaac, Let It Will Be, Let's Get Together to see How High we can Jump."

Now, it's M. Louise Veronica's turn. Her confessions are coming from...a dance floor. Ever heard of her? Of course you have. Heard the entire album? You will soon. The album drops December 13, 2005. Some people have had a sneak peek. Hear them now, before they're removed < Everyone else will have to wait another week.

Love Ya. Kisses. Muahh!

Please cast your vote by visiting one of the many official voting stations that will be located all over the City of West Hollywood (11/07/2005 - 11/13/2005) or online (11/08/2005 & 11/09/2005 only) at www.wehoawards.org.

a little infomercial and some vanity pics...

Makeup tips for halloweenies

To all Halloween Queens, who are beating their cheeks with industrial sized rotary waxers or even if you are carefully smacking each others faces with those overworked sponges.  Remember, "Less is more."  It's ultrasheer noncomedogenic foundation for lift and elasticity,  people, or true-to-life base with soy extract to make your visage glow, maybe even studio fix for coverage or shimmer to enhance or create your decolletage, but it's certainly not spackle.  K?  Invest in a MAC Fiberoptic brush.  It will effectively counteract your heavy hand, trust me.  So just get on that back-order waiting list and do it.  It'll amaze you.  If you want to overdo it, make like bobby, and weatherproof your lips with gloss.  (I'm a DiorWhore, so you know I prefer DiorAddict & DiorSkin and I will use MAC in  pinch.  But then again, I'm a picky bitch.)  You don't have to stay withing the natural countours of your lips.  It's gloss, just glaze that gelatinous goo all over your lips.  It's sheer, it'll blend!  Trust me!  :)  In fact, you don't have to use brand name gloss.  Just ask Ms. Trendy.  Any slick and greasy compound will do.  Even general brands like KY and Wet! will work.   Really!.  Ask Booby, nobody will know that it's not Chanel!  I Swear! 

Anyway, gotta get ready for VIP action at several events tonight.  I will be available for complimentary souvenir paparrazi shots, suitable for framing, at several events.  Including, the premiere of ClubGayUSA at The Factory EventSpace.  To me, all access means that I can make a hasty retreat when the so called friends are suffocating you.  You know what I mean.  That sense of entitlement, without a reason for same.  The ones that refuse to play the game or make certain concessions and sacrifices, just because they expect the same treatment as others, those that seem to effortlessly glide through society.  Though in reality, certain people make things look effortless,  while in reality, the benefits and respect attained are the result of hard work and ingenuity, the ones with the sense and expectation that they will expect to be treated a certain way, just because they see one of their friends getting a certain type of treatment, but they make no effort, whatsoever, to delight, entertain or endear themselves to those people that can make things happen.  Remember boys, amazing beauty,  with unremarkeable personality, get's old.  Quick.  I better stop, don't need to vent about that just yet.   Guess I just had to get something off my chest, or more appropriately, my chest'es'es.  Anyway, as I was saying...  To me, all access means a respite from the caucauphony.  To you, all access means that there is a slight chance to hear one of my juice stories later! 

Sightings are also possible at "A Twisted Halloween Night".  DolceMediaGroup, TheLoungePartners in concert with Tigerheat are promising their special vibe when they blend their hip cocktail of youngnewbiebeauty with oh so wicked consumerist exclusivity.  I love it.  VIP impressario, ChUuKey, is involved and that boy is wonderful host!  I realized that he's involved in events that narrow the gap between different crowds.  Bringing the diametric cultures close enough to feel the electricity jump from one body to the other, but not too close, cause they'll want to keep on coming back to make tiny little advances toward reaching that coveted prize.  What am I talking about?  The concept of General Admission, within view of VIP, within touch of VIPVIP, it's vv exhilarating!  Some of those boys will do just about ANYTHING to be your special little one for the night, and I am more than happy to facilitate their venture into decadence transforming them into tomorrow's little debutantes!  It makes me HOT and BOTHERED!

Here's a very important reminder:  Now,  if you happen to...  Hey, pay attention, because this is very important.  It is halloween and this jack-o'-lantern is a sign. A calling.  An omen. A directive.  If you happen to find yourself in West Hollywood, sometime during November 7th through the 13th, you can't possibly miss the official voting stations and ballot boxes being staffed by the very helpful and attractive WeHo Awards volunteers.  Please cast a vote for the 2005 WeHo Awards nominees at that time. I won't let you forget that I've been nommed for Favorite Male Personality and that it is imperative that your cast your vote for Jonathan Chang ~ Socialite Extraordinaire.  Otherwise, bars and clubs may go out of business.  The economy will be affected.  Inclement weather will be the norm.  Canine companions may lose their bark and wag and kittens, oh those precious little kitties, they may lose their purr.  You don't want that, do you?  (Once again.  Repeat after me.  Must vote for Jonathan Chang.  Must vote for Jonathan Chang.  Must vote for Jonathan Chang...)  Think of the kitties.  Think harder!  OK.  One last thing.  Don't forget to vote for Jonathan Chang ~ Socialite Extraordinaire.  On a final note,  if you vote for me, I'll be your BFF!  Pinky swear!

Ever so humbly,  I remain as the reigning true Mistress of the Dark,  the Grand Duchess of West Hollywood and a Marquioness of the Velvet Mafia, and most importantly a 2005 WeHo Award "Favorite Male Personality" Nominee

Love ya.  Kisses.  Muahh!
