More of the usual bar crawl...

Tonight, I'll begin at Gozar for dinner. Continue with a twirl around The Abbey, then up to Ultrasuede for Girlbar before crossing the VIP Corridor in order to make an appearance at Popstarz at the Factory side. Of course, I'll be popping back and forth between the two sides. I'll probably finish off the evening at Micky's before heading off to the suite. If you're in WeHo, give me a call, we'll do cocktails.

Love ya. Kisses. Muahh!

Intruders at the San Vicente Inn

Remember my July 11, 2005 post "A "Charmed" weekend: Gucci Cars and Drag Idol Wars" where i promised to tell you about intruders in my hotel room?  I never got around to doing it, but it turns out that my friend Freddy ended up writing about it on his MySpace blog.  So got read about his San Vicente Inn experience. 

By the way, freddy's entry ends with the following sentence: "And what do I do? …….I get up to open the door....."   

In order to be completely accurate, his entry should be  really read:  "A"nd what do I do?  ...I get up to open the door.  I confirm that the locks are in good working order by unlocking and opening the door all the way.  Then, I remember that I forgot something on the bed.  I don't know what, but I do know that I MUST get back to the bed.  Leaving the door wide open,  in order to reach the bed and pass out.  ...again." 

Love ya.  Kisses.  Muahh!

The Hurricane Event...It's the latest thing.

Thursday night, Ritchie and I arrived at Bobby Trendy Designs to attend the Hurricane Katrina Fundraiser. You may view the FilmMagic.Com pictures by clicking here. I think that the event was succesful. You may view the DailyCeleb.com pictures by clicking here. A respectable sum was raised. Jann Wenner (Wenner Media / US Magazine) matched all donations. You may view the WireImage.com pictures by clicking here. Later, we had a small private afterparty, before heading off to Heaven and Tigerheat at the Arena. We then relaxed in The Lounge the exclusive area above Arena, where we were taken care of by VIP Host Steve "ChUukEy" Manchuca who graciously assisted us in procuring champagne bottle service so that we could end the night with crystal flutes of Veuve Clicquot.

Love ya. Kisses. Muahh!

Patrick met a boy...

He fell in lust with a boy. Brought him home to the suite. They broke the bed. Twice. I walked in on them inflagrante. Today, Patrick has a HUGE hickey on his neck, courtesy of the Cuban Boy. He was branded. more later....

This island is on Fire....

We've had so much fun here, at Fire Island Pines, that we decided to prolong our stay. I haven't updated my clog recently, but you can be sure that I have some stories to tell. Actually, I might let the pictures speak for themselves. To tell the truth, I don't remember most of what happened, but I'm told I've been seen all over this island. The stories are slowly being recounted so that my memory may be refreshed. All I know, is that I've made it back to the hotel at around 5:00 in the morning. Every morning. But for now, I have to start getting ready for Low Tea, High Tea, the Candis Kayne show and the Bartenders Ball. I'm sure that eventually, I'll be stumbling the the MeatRack or DickDock. But I'll have to write about this later, as I need to shower, shave, apply some bronzer and highliter and I'll be on my way to another event full of barely clothed men escaping the city. I'll give more details later. I promise.
