This mix is meant for make-up/Spanx/weave application, hairbrush-mic divashows, girlytime, girlytime with boys, dudelytime with girls, the pre-preparty-party….

…WARNING: this is a strictly no-lovemakin-allowed mix. Tryin to make babies to this might result in someone getting injured by a runaway false eyelash or nail gem. It’s for dancin with ya’self, vogueing, and beautification!!!
1. Cover Girl — RuPaul. Put the bass in your walk!!! This is my motto, 24/7.
2. Make-Up — Vanity 6. Get one of those mirrors that switches lighting FX, “Office-Day-Evening-Home,” and flip the switch to the beat. Make. Up.
3. Alphabet — Amanda Lear. I have two great makeup memories connected to this song. One involved doing my classy friend Christina’s eyeshadow in a really non-subtle, possibly un-classy fluoro-color combo before going out in Philly. She owned that shiz!!!
4. If I Was Your Girlfriend — Prince. The Purple One as “Camille.” What is better in life?
5. Magnetic Baby — Semi Precious Weapons. Sometimes you have to find a boy that looks better than you in your own killer heels. Back in school, the boys would turn us OUT at the annual cross-dressing sexabration.
6. I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) — Whitney Houston. Noted.
7. Tramp — Salt ‘N’ Pepa. “I ain’tcha baby, TRAMP. Oh yeah?! Ya SISTER!” Tellem, ladies.
8. Sittin’ Up In My Room — Brandy. About 2 days ago, I actually uttered the phrase “I’m a mess for you.” I’m proud of my mess!
9. Standing In The Way Of Control — The Gossip. I love Beth Ditto, but the truth is that Hannah Blilie’s the one I crush on.
10. Emotions — Mariah Carey. Pure deeevahh. How can you not want to braid a unicorn and ride a rainbow made of marshmallows after listening to this?
11. Supafreak — Aaron LaCrate feat. Amanda Blank and Nina Cream. “I got a pussy made’a gold…” You bet your azz I do!!
12. 100% Pure Love — Crystal Waters. This one’s all roller-rink parties, summer camp dances, and Bat Mitzvahs.
13. Real Love — Mary J. Blige. So delicious and ’roundtheway.
14. Making A Scene — Fritz Hedler and the Phantoms. “That Prada clutch, GURL, that’s so last season!!!”
15. Work — Kelly Rowland. Don’t you love that now you can sing “put it in” in the context of an r&b jam?
16. Ego (Official Remix w Kanye West) — Beyonce. I would have put “Diva” in this mix, but I think “Ego” is a way more subtle. Now go stroke your big ego!! Or someone else’s!!!
And for the finale, I’m taking you out on a serious dance medley, fueled by a familiar 90s keyboard synth riff…
17. Dreamer — Livin’ Joy. Feel it! Motivational dancers! Laser lights! Reddish brown lipstick with purple lip liner! (Sorry bout the weird transish @ end of song…that’s what you get from a free download)
18. Show Me Love — Robin S. Un-Auto-Tuned wailing! Black spandex dresses with shoulder cutouts!
19. Bulletproof (Larry Tee and Alexander Technique Blogula remix) — La Roux. Fooled ya! This is a totally new track from 2009…but don’t it make you think back to better times?
