A week ago Wednesday was the annual Miss and Mr. Noche Latina pageant this year taking place at Bailo Nightclub. The presentation and theme of the pageant this year was Gold, and the contestants (7 girls and 5 boys) were not playing. Mr. Noche Latina 2014, Rolly Villaverde did one of the best openings I have ever seen at a pageant and it blew the audience away. In the end this pageant was so filled with talent that there was an exact tie for the girls at 489 out of 500 points and therefore 2 Miss Noche Latina’s were crowned: Missy Meyakie LePaige and Kalah Mendoza and the new Mr. Noche Latina is Monte St James. On Thursday, Hunters celebrated its first year on the drive from 7-9pm with drinks, butler served Hors d’oeuvres and DJ Richie Rich followed by the dance floor opening with my buddy DJ A.J. Reddy. Congrats to Mark, Patrick and their staff on a successful first year and wishing them many more years of success. Also on Thursday, Latinos Salud celebrated their 6th anniversary with an event entitled Art For A Cause, hosted at House of Art in Wynwood.

A gallery talk by Stroke curator and New York-based artist Robert W. Richards and Leslie Lohman Museum Director Hunter O’Hanian will take place on Wednesday, February 4 at 7 pm. A public opening reception will be held on Friday, February 6, from 7 – 9 pm. Stroke: From Under the Mattress to the Museum Wall, is a historical retrospective of sexy and erotic illustrations by artists who made work for the gay male magazines from the 1950s to the 1990s. Curated by New York-based illustrator Robert W. Richards, Stroke features 23 original illustrations. This exhibition of a forgotten body of work not only explores the male form, but for the first time ever, offers an examination of gay male private life, as experienced through magazines which were available on nearly every street corner in America – but often kept under their mattresses for fear of being discovered. The exhibition will feature some original illustrations which appeared in the magazines, along with other works of art that have never been seen publicly.

Eric Schaeffer’s new film, BOY MEETS GIRL is a poignant, sexy, romantic coming of age comedy about three twenty year-olds living in Kentucky. Robby (Michael Welch, Twilight) and his best
friend since childhood, Ricky, a gorgeous transgender girl, have never dated. Lamenting the lack of eligible bachelors, Ricky considers dating a girl. In walks Francesca, a beautiful young debutante waiting for her Marine fiance to return from the war. Ricky and Francesca strike up a friendship, and maybe a little more, which forces Robby to face his true feelings for Ricky. This is a sex/human positive modern fable and identification with its story crosses all gender and sexual orientation lines.
