Throwback Thursday: Yoko Ono With a Choker at Cannes

May 12, 2016 by WendyB

Zang With a Z

September 5, 2007 by WendyB

Tonight my husband and I saw Zang Toi‘s spring line at a fundraiser Zang held for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. We saw both singer Patti LaBelle and DJ drag queen Lady Bunny there. Who is the greater diva? I would have liked to see them wrestle for the title. Maybe next season! The theme for…
