My name is Victoria Sikora. I am the female ego of Timothy Elliot Lalowski, a gender-fluid person finding their way one step at a time. My greatest passion is working to create a better existence for humanity, however I can. (Check out my human-rights activist blog at ItGetsMoreGay.tumblr.com) I am currently attending the Illinois Institute of Technology, working on two degrees in Architectural Engineering and Civil Engineering and hope to one day begin my very own non-for-profit engineering firm working to create progressive design systems in third world countries so that their systems can grow and advance to a level of independence from foreign hand-outs. I am also very passionate about developing the world in a social setting as well. I am a large advocate for human rights and I fight for all peoples’ rights on a daily basis. That is where my passion for drag comes in.
I am passionate for drag for two rudimentary reasons. 1)Drag is an opportunity to express a part of myself that has been suppressed for a majority of my life. Victoria is as much a part of me as is Timothy. 2)Drag queens are voices for the LGBT community, and they are symbols of it to the rest of the world. Their influence is stronger than many of them even realize, and can be used for so much good, if properly utilized. What I stand for is Love. I stand for finding every bit of Love you can for each and every human being, regardless of who they are, where they’re from, the color of their skin, whatever may be between their legs, or whomever they choose to consent to in the bedroom. I live every day trying to demonstrate the tremendous human capacity for Love.
In order to achieve my goals, I need to gain visibility, and that means the super popular show, ‘Rupaul’s Drag Race’. I have been a big fan of many of the queens who have been on the show, such as Pandora Boxx and JuJu Bee, who’s hearts and compassion have blasted away much of the competition. It is my hope to be a part of this show and seize the opportunity to be an inspirational drag queen that youth can look up to, respect, and grow from.
There’s a lot of work to be done, considering how short of a time I have been performing drag (3 months!!!), but I need to pull together an audition tape and become polished enough to stand a chance in the competition. I need costumes and props, Make-up, film, time, etc. In order to really be able to put together an audition. (I am going to push myself to perfection and utilize every cent to its fullest) I do my own sewing, scripting, costuming, music mixing, photo and video editing, etc. and I’m really good at utilizing low budget items, but there is only so far a queen can push these things before the competition starts to swallow her up! I go to school full time, run my own philanthropic dance troupe, and work full time while I am trying to pull this together, so I’ve demonstrated determination to make it happen.
All donations will be used solely for drag materials and the lovely people who help make my video happen (All of YOU!!!), will be recognized in the credits as well as a few shout outs to the more generous donors. Please help me live my dream!!!

For the first time since the launch of the case, a transgender person will testify before the Senate about the need to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
Kylar Broadus, founder of the group Trans People of Color Coalition, will testify as one of five witnesses on Tuesday during the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee hearing. He’s the first trans person to testify before the Senate in the ENDA case; a House hearing in 2009 featured testimony from Vandy Beth Glenn, a transgender woman.
Tico Almeida, president of Freedom to Work, praised Harkin for his selection of witnesses. Almeida said he worked with Senate staff to identify and vet witnesses for the hearing.
“Senator Tom Harkin and his staff have done an excellent job assembling an impressive and diverse panel of witnesses who will clearly outline the ongoing problem of workplace harassment and discrimination against LGBT Americans and explain how ENDA will give all Americans the freedom to work without fear of unfair treatment on the job,” Almeida said.
I’m actually pretty surprised this is the first time a trans person will be part of the hearing before the Senate. If passed, ENDA would have a huge effect on trans rights in the workplace, and so it seems only fair that plenty of trans folk have a chance to speak about it.

About the Project:
“Colour Me Queer” is an community-based photography project conceptualized by prominent Queer activist and Photographer Arnab Banerji with stories from queer-identified community models. Organized in partnership with ASAAP, this project recognizes the role of pride, shame, self-esteem and body politics in how we negotiate sex and interact with partners. Personal stories of pride, resilience and love from South Asian queer-identified models are depicted through narrative and photographed by Arnab.

A few years ago, 46-year-old Timothy Brown had AIDS. Now, he’s healthy.
Brown was cured of AIDS after a transplant of blood cells to treat leukemia had a special genetic mutation that made them resistant to HIV. The genetic mutation is extremely rare, but doctors are looking for it through umbilical cord blood transplants to help future patients. From ABC:
Dr. Lawrence Petz, medical director of StemCyte, an umbilical cord blood bank, said although Brown was cured by his transplant, the process was complicated because the blood stem cells came from an adult donor.
“When you do that you have to have a very close match between donor and recipient,” Petz said. “With umbilical cord blood, we don’t need such a close match. It’s far easier to find donor matches.”
But it’s still not that easy. Petz and his colleagues have tested 17,000 samples of cord blood so far, and found just 102 that have the genetic HIV-resistant mutation. The team performed the first cord blood transplant on an HIV-infected patient a few weeks ago, and they have another transplant planned for a similar patient in Madrid, Spain, later this year. It will still be months before researchers can tell if the transplants have any effect on the patients’ HIV.
We’ve got a long way to go, but this is still pretty incredible.

So, this is way late, but I wanted to do something for that International Men Can Wear A Dress day that was back in mid-May. Unfortunately, finals and moving out for summer kind of threw that plan on a far and distant back burner and I never got around to it. I did however manage to get around to it once Ellen and I started moving into our apartment two or so weeks ago. (The further delay of this hitting the internet was entirely my fault because I’m lazy and just now getting around to it.)
tl;dr—me in a dress because, wth, I can.
(Also, dress is Ellen’s; thanks for letting me borrow it.)
Literally one of the most beautiful people on the planet.
Shout-out to Chris, whose genderbending is so effortless that I’m more than a little bit jealous.
—Ellen.
