If there is one thing that Fourth Of July can bring, besides an island full of Drag Queens, fruity cocktails, and all those under thirty, fresh-faces bronzed boys, twirling to and fro, it is mid-summer love-just a neatly packaged seasonal vacation of blissful puppy-love, the kind that makes us think about his kiss, or how his cologne still lingers on your pillow, that type of affair. I envy, even adore, all that fluff and cheesecake, but this one felt a bit more mature, maybe taking us, with fingers crossed, into a full-blown relationship? Read more

Porn actor Bryan Slater, who was a hit last season when he made a guest appearance at Ken Braun’s Whip It Out Wednesday at the Ice Palace, returned this season, as guest host, for two consecutive weeks at the end of June. I caught his June 30 appearance. Rhett Kalman was behind the bar.

A favorite performer, Electra, returned to Cherry Grove, from Florida, to perform at Cherry’s, at the end of June and beginning of July, and I caught her performance there as Liza Minnelli on June 29. Perhaps best known for her Bette Midler, Electra brought to her loving and energetic tribute to Liza the same detailed, disciplined precision that she brings to her incarnation as the Divine Miss M. Kevin “Ginger Moore” Hammond served as DJ.
“Liza’s Back,” as good as new after rehab, detox, dieting, whatever, Electra declared with determination, and working the room, invited, “Teach Me Tonight.” She took us back with her sultry “Shine on, Harvest Moon” and “It Had to Be You.”
About Liza, Electra explained, “She and I have a lot in common: we’ve both had gay husbands,” and with intensity, offered, from Read more
