Gay Atlanta giver Richy Pugh had so much fun turning 40 that he decided to do it again, again. To make his third 40th birthday the best yet, Pugh brought drag legend Coco Peru to host a whole Dragstravaganza Weekend benefit for Jerusalem House.

Back in October, Peru must have enjoyed her first performances in Atlanta ever, because low and behold the star of stage and screen was back on Saturday to light up Jungle. She was the main attraction in a big lineup (top photo). Some fierce Atlanta bitches, from former and current Armorettes to Atlanta Sisters of Perpetual indulgence and beyond, entertained a big crowd while everybody showed Jerusalem House some love.

The night also included a silent auction to benefit the HIV/AIDS housing charity. The giving just kept coming on Sunday, too, when Coco hosted the Dragstravaganza Brunch at gay-owned Las Margaritas, which donated a portion of sales to the cause.
