Hey Friends!  Wow! Another month gone already!  They are definitely going by at warp speed! Busy as the month was, I had time to attend a couple of events.  I went to see the critically acclaimed play “Prove It On Me” brilliantly written by, my new friend, DeeJae Cox & soulful songs also brilliantly created by, my other new friend, Michele Weiss.  The only way to describe this show is “AWESOME”!  The cast, costumes, story, music, and history of the theatre were amazing.  Thanks DeeJae & Michele,,You’re the Best!

Boy, LN’s boylesbian & Main Squeeze invited me to “Boy About Town’s Botox Party” at the HB Skin Spa and I had a blast! I met some really nice peeps like Angela, Debbie and the evening’s real treat, Empress Jackie.  The Empress Jackie is truly fabulous and very talented. She makes her own wardrobe and designs her own jewelry!  I’m lucky to sew on a button! Anyway, new friends & great party!  Thanks Boy & Main Squeeze!  I love ya both!
