I am a publicist specializing in LGBTQ projects. If you’re like me, you’re sick of your newsfeed, but very curious about how your peers are coping with the COVID-19 virus. Staying home? How’s work? Frightened? What brings comfort? I took an informal poll of media people, clients, and friends, asking them to answer on personal, honest, level. Tap the bio link to read their answers. And if you’d like to answer, please email me, and I’ll add your quote to the page. Be sure to include your name, occupation, and IG handle. #covıd19 #copingwithcovid19 #coronavairus #stfh #stayhome

Channeling Billie Holiday, Prince and Sylvester, glittering genderfluid pop/R&B singer DIIMOND sings of regret and frustration after being beaten, yet again, by his psychotically possessive manager, Damion, in “Bad Attitude,” his first music video from the forthcoming queer, Neo-noir musical miniseries, “The Truth About Fairy Tales.” Tap the bio link to watch the video and read the press release, “From ‘American Idol’ to Hell. Queer Music Video Series Reveals The Dark Side of Hollywood.” Just to lighten things up a bit, the second image is a BTS shot of DIIMOND with actor and producer, Emrhys Cooper.

Staying home. Eyes wander. (No, this is not a feeble attempt at haiku.) Here, Jeff Stryker playing cards (his country music single was my first pr gig when I began under the name Penetration, Inc. (changed to Popular Publicity in 2010). Print of a gorgeous painting by Lucio Carvalho picked up at a recent exhibition during The Armory Show. Postcard of “Gorgeous” by Mel Odom. Picked up at Daniel Cooney Fine Art after a fascinating interview of Odom by Edmund White.

A friend and former client (as a member of The Ones), Nashom Wooden, East Village fixture, former drag queen (Mona Foot) and Rick Owens fanatic, just died of the virus. So, while I’m frightened, I’m doing my best to fake as normal a life as possible. Always worked from home, so got that routine down. Coffee, shower, shave, fully dressed and at my desk working every day. Paranoid to go out, but am for groceries. Dismayed by people, not taking the distancing thing seriously. In a day/evening group chat with about 10 friends, which really helps. Missing the gym. Got a home bodyweight workout plotted out, but have yet to implement. Running a GoFundMe campaign for a neighborhood restaurant. Lots of reading. Catching up on my New Yorkers. Books. Just finished “Kaiser Karl” by Raphaélle Bracqué and “Nothing to See Here,” by Kevin Wilson, which, as I mentioned on the previous post, is a LOL scream. Keeping news intake to PBS NewsHour, tempered by a whiskey. Thankful for a quiet city, but missing the bustle of life, that famous NYC “energy.”

Stay home. Read! Recent and recommended books. Sci-fi to history. Missing is Ted Chiang’s brilliant “Exhalations,” on loan to a friend. “Nothing to See Here,” by Kevin Wilson is about bratty kids who spontaneously combust when upset and is a scream, if you need a good LOL read.
