SF ACCORDING TO ALEXIS PENNEY #9: DIVA'S

#9. DIVA'S. This is a really insane strip-club in the Tenderloin where all the girls are transgendered, I know that sounds kinda weird and voyeuristic, but it's actually just fun and has cheap drinks and the interior is really cool, so whatever.

SF ACCORDING TO ALEXIS PENNEY #8: SOME THING

#8. SOME THING. This is the drag show that happens every Friday at the Stud, it's thrown by Glamamore and Vivyanne Forevermore, they are really funny and crazy and pretty punk. They have the punkest, weirdest queens there all the time and totally weird themes, it's a really rad show. It's also kind of a who's who of the gay weirdos in SF, and I always run into guys I've web cammed with there, too, so, duh, I'm there every Friday haha.

SF ACCORDING TO ALEXIS PENNEY #7: THE RUSSIAN RIVER RESORT

#7. THE RUSSIAN RIVER RESORT. This is actually in Guerneville, which is maybe an hour and a half North of San Francisco, it is paradise of a small-town where pretty much everyone is gay. The resort itself is motel-style, all enclosed around a bar and a pool, so you can sit around and get wasted all day, hang in the pool or the hot tub, shoot the shit with the hilarious queens that work there (our favorite is the manager Gregory, former Falcon video star!) and then troll the town in the evening. There's a gay bar a block away called Rainbow Cattle Company that is really rad and super classic, hardwood everywhere with a bunch of Tom of Finland shit, and also this really insane one called Yamagata's, which kind of looks like a Virgin Airlines plane on the inside, lots of violet light and weird fabric. Also a lot of old hippies end up retiring in Guerneville, so I always see at least a few people wandering the streets there in the middle of the night muttering about time travel or whatever. Totally my favorite place in America!

SF ACCORDING TO ALEXIS PENNEY #6: THE 800 BUS

#6. THE 800 BUS. I actually live in Oakland so this is the bus I take home from San Francisco if I stay out past the time the train runs, I always run into weird people, like other East Bay drag queens or thug guys with transgendered girlfriends who want to talk to you just based on that common ground. I love it. Very grounding.
