This Summer, it was time for the 10th anniversary of the annual Fresh Fruit Festival! And we started it off with a kick-off gala celebration at the Park Side Lounge in the East Village of New York City. I had a wonderful time entertaining the festival patrons and meeting up with other "Fruities" like Artistic Director Brian Maschka, recording artists Robert German and Toshi Nakayama aka Tokyo Penguin, Drag Diva Candy Samples, performance artist Jonathan Dalin, reporter Fred Anguera and many others.
