It was with great anticipation that we looked to Friday May 6, for the 21st Night of 1000 Stevies or NOTS 21, the yearly celebration of the artist known as Stevie Nicks. 


We gathered at the Highline Ballroom to pay homage to our Goddess Stevie.

And although each year there are many who capture the "Stevie Realness".


This year the realness hit a whole other level with the video she sent.


There she was on the giant screen talking to us, acknowledging us, saying she might show up in a disguise one year, our queen had spoken, oh my heart be still....

Jazmin Flowers
But since she was a no show, we were totally entralled by our Mistress of Ceremonies, the totally divine Chi Chi Valenti who gave birth to this event 21 years ago with husband/dj Johnny Dynell, and speaking of mistresses right by Chi Chi's side was the unstoppable Hattie Hathaway, looking as lovely as ever, with a tasteful purse, a Victorian blouse, and a handfull of looseleaf papers with the order of the performers. 


Who needs cue cards when you can sort through a pile of looseleaf papers, ya know what we're saying?


We're sure you'll all agree no one hurls a tambourine into the audience like that Hattie! and this year Hattie had an extra job, she was in charge of untying the  the swing for the aerial artist! Whoa Nelly!

 


We would also like to mention how exceptional the audience was this year, dressed to the nines in Victorian authentica, very gay, very hot, and knowing all the words to every Stevie song, and real Goddesses, not those horrible Sex and the City girls who have shown up in the last 2 years because it was hip, it was trendy, it was fabulous, and they weren't...but I digress....



We love our performers who come year after year, Billie O, The HoHos, Divine Grace, Sherry Vine ( and you have to see her latest video parody of Katy Perry "Firecrotch"


Not to mention the sensuous Heather Litteer, Darlinda just Darlinda, the new Fleetwood Maxx, 

  

and our favorite, a sick and twisted homage to The Black Swan, like it wasn't already sick and twisted enough....

 
 
  
We did miss our favorite good old gal in a plus size gown, Sweetie, and Bella Donna did you miss your flight from Santa Barbara?

 

So there is only one rating that is fitting for this night:


10 White Winged Doves and 5 Bonus Tambourines
