On Monday, February 22nd the annual Miss Gay Black USofA pageant and was held at J's. It was a fab pageant and in the end local entertainer and my friend, Champagne Bordeaux, won her first national pageant and is the new Miss Gay Black USofA 2010. On Tuesday I was privileged enough to go see one of the true divas of our generation, Patty Lupone, at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. To say her show was moving would be the understatement of the year. Thursday was the return of DJ Miik's Cuchifrito now being held at Johnny's. If the crowd was an indicator ...

I was in Tampa this weekend for the 2 year anniversary of Steam at Honey Pot that starred DJ Johnny Vicious and a fab performance by the newly crowned Miss Gay America, Coco Montrese. I arrived with Scott Spar (Hotspots' Central Florida Director of Marketing and Sales) at about 11:30 pm and there was a long line down the block to get into the club.

July 4th weekend ended with a packed Saturday night at Sidelines (see pictures in this week's magazine) and a phenomenal T Cruise where the boat was sold out.

After the cruise I went over to Scandals, who welcomed 99.9 KISS Country and their staff. They gave away lots of prizes, including 2 concert tickets to the ....
