Cyndi Lauper's gay musical love child, better known as the True Colors Tour, kicked off its second annual extravaganza in Boston this past weekend and while the weather was questionable, the message was clear — Gays Just Wanna Have Equality, Inclusion, Power and Fun! And AfterElton.com was there to cover it for you.

The first stop on this year's tour showed significantly more energy and star power than last year's edition. Kat DeLuna, The Cliks, Regina Spektor, Rosie O'Donnell and The B-52's joined Lauper and host Carson Kressley to ring in the gay Lollapalooza by performing to a near sold out crowd overlooking the Boston Harbor.

It took some time for Queer Eye's Carson Kressley to warm up to his hosting duties (it was opening night, so I cut the guy some slack), but as the night wore on his stories and jokes went from a bit tired and stereotypical to witty and hysterical.

Unless you're a born performer or skilled comedian, hosting a tour is a rough gig, but Kressley eventually found his comfort zone and really played to the crowd. Like a true diva he had multiple wardrobe changes and a new pair of shoes each time he took the stage. Hell, he even found time to do a quick makeover on one unsuspecting audience member.

Before make-over: boring!

After make-over: hot!
