Who said Valentine's Day had to be on Tuesday February 14? Proving that Cupid and his arrow would he happy to work it on the weekend without charging overtime, on Sat. Feb. 18 the UDGLBT and J Angelo Events hosted a "From The Heart Dance" with proceeds and canned goods donations benefitting The Ecumenical Food Pantry. 'Cause love can be in the air whenever you want it to be!
Hosted by the lovely "Sugar", who definitely reminded us of Aunt Bernice, who always needs a ride to the Bar Mitvah cause she doesn't drive, Sugar schmoozed, boozed, and sang her way through the evening. We really had a great time stuffing her pink boxes with chocolate (don't go there), while Fabio and Talkdiva proudly showed off their new lip augmentations inspired by Meg Ryan as they collected, money, cans, and heaven only knows what else at the door. "Cause nothing says I love you like a fab pair of wax lips!
DJ Mark Krebs of Remarkable Sound actually played our song requests. When does that ever happen? As
2 adorables danced on the bar and Daniel pondered the true meaning of
life, lips, and a good cocktail, we'd like to send out a special thank you to our raffle
winner who donated some of his winnings back to our fundraiser.
For those of you who didn't win, Talk Diva demonstrated how old, tired raffle tickets make fabulous headbands, and we know this new look will most certainly be featured on the models at the next Prada fashion show!
We hope Cameron enjoyed his cupcake birthday cake that the hagsontherun especially created for him, and that he wasn't disappointed it wasn't the traditional ghetto cake we always get from Walmart.
We've a hard time going into Walmart after an incident 2 weeks ago. Wedged among an innocent pile of purple acrylic sweaters was a large bloody steak sticking out of an open package. Obviously the other steak in the package ended up in someone's shirt, pants, or stuffed elsewhere..... Maybe it was Lady Gaga trying to create another dress out of raw meat, especially bitter after being ignored at The Grammys....
The adorable waiters looked as tasty as the spinach dumplings they were serving.
A special shout out to the Gays of Sullivan County (www.gaysofsullivancounty.com)
who showed up to support our cause. And we hope to see all of them
again at their March 17th dance from 2 to 6 at Dancing Cat Saloon in
Bethel NY.
A big hug and chocolate cherry kiss to Patti, Cary & Arnold and everyone else who made our event so successful!

Some bitches never lose their mojo....so it was no surprise that the EverReady Bunny of gay nightlife in NYC, John Blair, with partner Beto Sutter has once again marked his territory with the opening of XL at the OUT NYC HOTEL, and what is to be the gay mega playground on 42 Street between 10th and 11th Ave, 42 Street which in recent years has become a Disneyesque, tourist embellished, extravaganza, and how cool is it that you can now see The Lion King and roll down the street to XL? Location, location, location!
We were anticipating the kind of hotties that we used to see at the Roxy, this was John Blair after all, who stood by the table in the Roxy rating the boys who were putting their names on the mailing list.
So we waited on a very long line, longer than the Rite Aid checkout counter on the two for one coupon day, as we watched Marcus strut up and down the line, like she was working the runway in Paris.Talkdiva, Fluffie, and H.A.L.'s (hags at large) Lisa and Geza waited patiently on that line because no one got their XL membership cards in time since the US Post Office has slowed down their mail deliveries.
Fluffie did get hers and was happy for the $5.00 off that it gave her towards the $20.00 cover. More money for cocktails, or so we thought...
And speaking of cocktails, getting one was quite a challenge since the bar was knee deep in people waiting and they could have used a few more muscle men who know how to shake those cosmos and everything else...
Fluffie and Talk Diva realized this is the price you pay when you leave that flask at home or those small liquor bottles that fit so discreetly into your clevage, or elsewhere......
The dance floor was steamy hot, but not with shirtless men, as it appeared that the AC wasn't working in that area.
Amanda looked tres magnifique as always, and the bevy of stunning beauties included Sherry, Dallas Dubois, Ephinany, and numerous drag queens who are fabulous but who's names evade us.
And there were sightings of Jake Sheers, and Lance Bass who really seems to be everywhere these days, unless it's those Lance Bass look-a-likes that keep popping up....
There was also an adorable little person name Baby Jane who was sooooo cute!
Lady Bunny, with a playlist as big as her hair, for whatever reason would not pose for the Hags at all, as she gave us serious shade, and ducked down in the DJ booth whenever we tried to take a picture. We hope all of you forgive us for this substitute photo.
The highlight of the evening was those hunky strippers who looked just like real firemen with their long hoses, and big rubber boots. Leave it to John Blair to always add those nice little touches!
Oh but wait, when we saw those four big fire trucks outside, we knew this was the real thing and no one was getting down to a thong!. And no one else was getting in either! Hardly able to contain our disappointment, alas it was our cue to leave... to move on to Barrage where we could actually order a cocktail!
