Madness Takes Control!

Saturday night at the stroke of 11:PM, It's astounding, Time is Fleeting, Madness took control! So the night began! At the Lunar  Miss Simplicity Heart was the VIP guest performer with the Cast of "Illusions of 34th Street." But the real show was in the audience! In the VIP room were Club Divas Kevin & Kelly holding court with some fabulous yummies. Mayor Leo was showing off his date Timothy to Donald. Assisting Jai on lights was Ms Bobby York in BOY DRAG! Spotted out with Ian was the "Dancing Queen Kay" with new moves. Porn stars Austin and Slater informed us that they have just finished 4 new movies. As Austin was trying to cast Frat boy "Taiwan" (That can't be his real name) in the next film. Just too much fun! Out the door and over to MC Film for the "Gypsy Bells Party." What a fun new trend. The gypsy magic was in the air, as the boi's became very naughty under the spell of the bells. Mickey really does eat everything.  Our next stop was Grand Central Station for the new weekly, Saturday at midnight, "Rocky Horror Picture Show Party." The time warp had filled the club up with Transsexual Transylvanians complete with Brad & Janet's and hot sexy dancers as "Rockies" in gold lamai briefs. In the middle of the madness, stirring up fun, was Daniel Hunter dressed as Mini-Tea Cup (Mark). We will be back again next week "So let the party and the sounds rock on."

 

MAYOR, I CAN DO IT!

Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio recently spoke to the Tampa Bay Business Guild. What of course would arise in questions was "Would she follow the lead of other mayors (from around the country) and order the granting of marriage licensees to same sex couples in Tampa?" Great question and I think we'll have to see what happens. So far she has signed an executive order granting benefits to the domestic partners of its unmarried employees (20 plus city employees). A Great and Sincere Thank You, Mayor Pam!!!!

 

Welcome Home Jack & Dan

Jack (bartender at Metropolis) and his lover Dan are safe & home from a wild trip to Istanbul, Turkey. What were the guys thinking? We were all so worried about them. They even found a private Gay 'Speak Easy' there. The only language problem happened on the plane coming home when they miss understood the man seated next to them who said, "May I have your peanuts?"  Check out the trips photo's on the guys web site at www.dankanouff.com and welcome home guys!

Wilton Manors, The New Dynasty Show?

The e-mails were buzzing with all the drama in Wilton Manors last week. With bickering Bar, Restaurant &  Magazine owners, talk of pills, DEA and back door deals, questionable Doctors, fraudulent IM's,  embezzlement of monies, hit men & Winn Dixie parking lots. All you kids need to do is add some sex and hot cars for a great Gay TV Drama Show!  We can't wait to hear what happens next in "The Sordid Lives of Wilton Manors."

 

Art Scapes for Your Home

Micheal F. had a party at his South Tampa mansion to show the art work of Kathleen Kennedy. It was WOW! Kathleen studied art in Italy and specializes in murals, sculpture & color theory. She had painted all the bedroom doors with different palm trees and had painted a two story sea scape mural on the back of the home. If you are looking for something unique for you home we recommend contacting Kathleen. www.orangetrousers.com  We also like her Gay Uncle Michael Kennedy.
