Congratulations to Lauren Jacobs and Frida Lay at Charlie's on the one-year anniversary of their Monday night smash hit game show It's Just Bingo Bitch! I'm sorry I couldn't be there girls, I was resting after a very hectic weekend.

+++

If you knew Foozie like I know Foozie … oh what a gal! And her birthday party at Cocktail was just packed with her adoring—not to mention adorable—Foozie-ites.

… although, I AM the most devoted Foozie-ite in the world. We bonded once in a children's puppet theater … funny story!!

… Remember Fooz … Happy Birthday, pineapple …

+++

Oh my God!! Gina and the Gyna Girls have now added the Annex 3 to their repertoire of venues. The opening number of their first show was … umm … interesting and a very touching moment.

The stage was empty except for a pedestal, on which was an urn containing the ashes of the late drag-diva Mina Howard. Gina bounced onstage and announced Mina as the first performer, and a song played while everyone tipped Mina's stunning posthumous performance; the money went to an AIDS charity.

Gina and her Gyna girls are performing all over the place right now, so check out the ads in Nightspots.

+++

Dropped in to see Creaoke at Bobby Love's and Mr. Bobby Love himself showed me the results of his pedicure. Look out for the photograph coming up in a future issue. Maybe we should do a series of Bar Owners' Feet … or maybe not!!

I wouldn't mind photographing the feet of Jim at Jackhammer … actually, I think Jim should pose nude for Nightspots. It's time, honey. Darren, Kevin and the other boyz up there, get on his back about it. Make his life completely fucking miserable until he poses nude for Nightspots … from the back.

No genitals. We don't want the lesbians freaking out because Jim's got bigger balls than they have.

+++

At the last Chix Mix party at Circuit, I had a serious 'sexuality crisis.' Some of those girls are just gorgeous!!

+++

Happy birthday to Ronnie at the Hideaway.

+++

Some people love my nose-piercing and some people hate it; like I give a fuck what anyone else thinks. However, just in case you were wondering, it was pierced by Mistress Charlotte at Eagle Leathers, and I wouldn't get a piercing anywhere else.

+++

Hot Tips:

Don't miss Stephanie, a finalist in the Windy City Idol contest—and all-round good-time-gal —hosting the open mic at Star Gaze on Thursday, April 24. Star Gaze also has those NTN interactive trivia games now. Go test your knowledge of trivia at the bar. I'd be good at that, my whole life is trivial.

The Hideaway is hosting an Employee Turnabout show for AIDS—Hope Ride on Saturday, April 19 at 10 p.m. Give money to Terry and Mike who are the riders. Wait a minute!! A Turnabout Show … does that mean Ronnie in drag?

Saturday, April 19 is the Best Basket Video Contest at Chicago Eagle and I don't think we're talking about Easter baskets here.

Have you got your tickets for the Kinsey Sicks at Circuit on Thursday, April 17 and Saturday, April 19? They're selling out fast … Call Windy City at (773) 871-7610
