US Sailors and Village People Cowboy!

The Fleet is in! What a fantastic way to celebrate Memorial Day and New York City's Fleet Week!  Thousands of United States Navy and Marine enlistees had their ships anchored on the Manhattan's Hudson River docks.  Also, this is the first summer since the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy has been repealed, making it acceptable to be openly Gay in the US Military. So we all got together to go visit our dear friend, Randy Jones, the original Cowboy of the legendary disco group, the Village People, at his one happening Sunday night parties at Splash, where Sailors and Marines had special invitations. With classic Disco music, good friends and brave handsome sailors, we had the best time ever! The crowd went wild when Randy performed the Village People hit "In The Navy." Salute!

Feeling Fruity! The Fresh Fruit Festival Awards!

I had the honor and pleasure of hosting the Fruits of Distinction Awards, aka "The Fruities" at the the Helen Mills Theater in Chelsea NYC. The event honors those who have contributed to the Fresh Fruit Festival and to the LGBT and Arts Communities.  I have met so many wonderful, talented and creative people involved with the Festival, the largest and most diverse LGBT Arts Festival in New York City. 
The Fresh Fruit Festival encompasses theater, performance, poetry, comedy, spoken word, music, dance, visual arts and some talents that defy categorization. Artists come from around the city, nation and, indeed, the world. Australia, Canada, Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle, Boston, San Francisco, San Diego, France, Mauii, Israel, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, and all of New York City's boroughs and suburbs have been represented. Fresh Fruit is the most inclusive expression of LGBT arts ever held in the City of New York. Performers of all racial and many ethnic backgrounds, sexualities, gender orientation fill out stages.

"Shake Your Grove Thang" Studio 54 Re-lived

I had the most amazing evening Disco-ing the night away at Dance 208: Studio 54, where the world's most infamous nightclub was recreated.  Lights and artwork was recreated and of course, era music of the time was spun by DJ Ted Snowdon. The crowd especially loved the Donna Summer tunes. Renowned Drag Diva Rollerina, who roller-skated around the Studio 54 Dance floor and the streets of Greenwich Village in the 70s, also stop by to make an extra-special appearance!! The evening took place at The LGBT Community Center of New York City on May 19, 2012.
