Not even joking…

Not to me personally, mind you…but to the room at large. And he meant girl boobies…I think he wants to get some…I had pulled back from my front position to get some longer shots, and I think a guy must have shown him his, and Justin was like, uhm I already have those, seen those……………

LOL…Justin Tranter, possibly the funniest, raunchiest, most charismatic, gender bending madman I have ever seen, fronting a rock band…

Oh, and he wears heels to DIE FOR~seriously! Stillettos…helloooooo lova!

And, AND…he changes on stage…I was front and center there to shoot Semi Precious Weapons (Tranter’s band) as they opened for the Seattle date of the Perez Hilton Tour…and between the second and third song or thereabouts, he lays down in front of me, and strips! lmao…SERIOUSLY…well first he pulls off his dress standing back to the crowd, only wearing tights with everything tucked away appropriately…………….

Then he lays down, to undo his boots and don his fresh outfit of Marylin Monroe printed leggings a somewhat raggy tank, and another pair of shiny stillettos, booties this time(versus the boots)…….Stands back up, and continues on…

As he was changing, I knew I couldn’t really get any usable shots of him – read not indecent, lol…whilst changing, so I shot the rest of the band, who were going crazy…an energetic band for sure…but it is Justin that holds the room rapt…who tells everyone that they will just have to fuck w/the lights on because the lighting peeps won’t turn them down…etc etc…he just wants everyone to have a fucking good time, or a good time fucking?!?!? either one, I am sure…………

Anywho, all that is to say, this was my first time seeing Semi Precious Weapons (SPW) live, and seeing the living breathing fabulousness that is Justin Tranter in the flesh – beyond the great images of my favorite concert photog, Todd Owyoung…who’s images, btw, were in the lead video intro to SPW’s entry to the stage…the fab promo and live shots, that I knew as soon as I saw them…who’s images they were….those images are why I made sure I was there to shoot this night…

I haven’t been 100% lately, a bit of a cold, so didn’t stay for the whole show…but SPW may be the most engaging opening act I have ever seen…certainly they could rival most headliners…for those that hadn’t seen/heard of them before…GO SEE! They are opening again, later this month for the Sounds this time, 10/27 at the Showbox. These guys, and Justin, are something you have to see live…live from NYC…serious fuck you glamourously in your face rock and roll….
