Bear "Naughty Gras" Bebauchery

Who doesn't love big, hairy men in beads?! I had a huge BLAST celebrating Mardi Gras at a party called "Bear Naughty Gras!" at RockBar in the West Village of New York City. Party promoter and "Mr. Grizzly" George Hains, who is known for his exciting "Bear Events" in town threw this hot gala with DJ Dan Darlington and go-go cubs Jed Ryan (Mr. Rawhide) and John. All the wonderful furry, friendly and frisky guys definitely earned their beads in an evening of delightful sin and debauchery that goes with the holiday! New Orleans celebrants can't hold a candle to the Bears - and Cubs and Otters - of New York City!

Dance 208: Valentine's Day Spectacular

I had the most spectacular time celebrating the holiday of love and romance at the Valentine's Celebration Soiree at Dance 208, the longest running LGBT Dance party in New York City at The LGBT Community Center of NYC on Saturday February 11th. I wore bright red rubies and scarlet fishnet hose to symbolize the hearts and passion that Valentine invokes! Carlos was a gorgeous, sexy go-go cupid and all the guys were certainly "in the mood for love!" We danced the night away to amorous tunes spun by DJ Bill Coleman, love-inspiring decorations by artist David Aviles, manager/party-promoters Joe Fiore and Mark Schulte and many others!

Clean and Fabulous Miss Sobriety Pageant

I had a fabulous time at the Miss Sobriety 2012 Pageant on January 28th at the Lab School in Chelsea of Manhattan. We loved showing everyone that you don't have to be under the influence to have a blast - but it really helps if you are fabulous. Our glamor and fierceness and fun attitudes were most intoxicating. I was so glad to be of service and to show newly sober people who were counting days laugh and to show them that you don't need drugs and alcohol to really enjoy yourself and have a fantastic time!

LGBT Art Premiere at Brooklyn Museum

I had the most marvelous time at the premiere gala of the opening of an amazing art exhibit called Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire n American Portraiture, an art exhibit and event that celebrates the achievements of the Queer Community in Art, Music, Film and Literature at the grand Brooklyn Museum on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, New York. There was a discussion and lecture with the acclaimed Jonathan David Katz, the curator of the exhibit. There was also an awesome live concert with Out musicians and recording artists that included dear friends Ariel Aparicio, Nhojj and others. And a lively disco dance floor with music by DJ Tikka Masala. Fine Art, lively dancing, culture and great friends made for a terrific evening

"Foolish Beat" Music Video Screening Premiere

I loved attending the special Premiere Screening of the latest hit music video of my dear friend and charting recording artist Lovari called "Foolish Beat" at club Therapy on 345 W. 52nd Street in New York City. The video was directed and edited by Frances Legge and music produced by Keith Kemper.

DMFAO Pre-New Year Opening

I was so glad to make a special celebrity appearance and attend the a Pre-New Year's Eve gala and official Grand opening of New York City's hottest and most glamorous Dance party DMFAO at a grand nightclub in Midtown called District 36. The place is a prime example of New York Fabulous Nightlife and we all had a fantastic time with a fun crowd, chic ambiance and a state-of-the-art high-tech sound system. The evening was also a birthday party for videographer Francis Legge and promoter Mark Nelson. Music was by DJs Junior Vasquez, Nesto, Anton Bass and Formika. We enjoyed amazing live performances by Sylvia Tosun and Sesily Treasure of the Pussycat Dolls. I had such a marvelous time with my fabulous friends of the Arts and Nightlife scene including recording artists Lovari, Oh-My-Josh, Baron and J Fortino, TG icons Amanda Lepore and Dina Marie, artist Tracy VonBecker, producers Ravi Ramadeen, George Mikel Kreal, Yusef Xtravaganza, Kevin Novinski, club personalities Sideshow Bob, Romeo Tragedy, Cherry Jubilee, Thorgy Thor, James Orona, Jay Roth, Johnny Stanford, and many more!

Stonewall Democrats Holiday Cheer

This past year has made tremendous progress in LGBT Civil Rights, so it was very festive at the annual Stonewall Democrats Holiday Party. I was once on the Board of Directors of the Stonewall Democrats of New York City, a powerful caucus that helps direct and advise the Democratic party in New York City on Gay issues and causes. The holiday soiree took place on December 13th at The LGBT Community Center of New York City. The guest list included City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, City Councilman Danny Dromm, NY State Assembly Members Danny O'Donnell and Dick Gottfried, Former City Comptroller Bill Thompson, Eric Bottcher of Governor Cuomo's office, judicial delegate Melissa Sklarz and many more political activists and elected officials.
