After Tha’ Robbery

On August 2, 2019, Johnny had his backpack with all of his valuables stolen at the North Hollywood Target parking lot. From that point on, he figured he didn’t owe the world a DAMN thang, and his style of cross-dressing no longer had to be kept secretโ€ฆfrom ANYONE!

1st Thanged-Up Instagram Pose

This is one of the shots in Johnny’s 1st ever selfie shoot. The Instagram caption read as follows: “Y’all thought I was bullshittin’ when I told you it was a Return to Fabulous, huh? Go on crackheads, take my bag. I’ll just get another one!”

Drag Vader (1)

This was Halloween 2019, when Johnny went out with some friends to a bar called Crow’s Nest in Tujunga, CA. Those platform sandals are totally giving ‘Dark Side of the Force’, aren’t they! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ก๐Ÿ‘ก

What’s Old is New Again (4)

Johnny’s 1st ever closeup at night. Oddly with no ring light. Even odder still, it was at a place where he used to work; the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

1st Saturday Night Turn-Up

On August 18, 2019, Johnny posted on Instagram some selfies he took outside Club Hyde in West Hollywood, CA. He didn’t know the first thang about selfies, let alone a ring light, which is why the photo looks so dark! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ

1st Saturday Night Turn-Up (Reverse)

Apparently, Johnny doesn’t know the difference between Theatrical Shots and Mugshots, which is why he looks like he’s about to ROB somebody! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿธ

1st Night on Sunset Strip in a Long Time

Sticking with August 18, 2019, Johnny was so amazed that it had been so long since he’d been to the Sunset Strip that the club he once knew as Miyagi’s was now Pink Taco! ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Last Saturday Night Turn-Up for a While

On September 16, 2019, Johnny posted on Instagram about how this was gonna be his last Saturday Night Turn-Up for a while. Transportation to Hollywood was just too much of a pain in the ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘!

Always Thirsty, My Friends!

Sticking with that night at the W in November 2019, Johnny decided to get cutesy with the Dos Equis commercial. He must’ve been still learning how to use a tripod, ’cause look at the clicker in his hand! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

After the Jab

On March 30, 2021, Johnny posted on Instagram about wearing thongs for the first time in over a decade. This was after he had received his second shot of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, which was more than cause for celebration. ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’‰๐Ÿ’‰
