Bridget and fellow hottie at Berlin. pix by Kirk

__________

If you were industrious enough to create a flipbook of all of the pictures of yours truly that have run in Nightspots over the past several years ( and I'm certain there's at least one of you obsessive enough to do it ) , you would see me getting old faster than a Britney Spears rehab commitment. No sweat, though, thanks to angels like Bridget at Berlin. When I confessed to her that it was so loud I couldn't hear myself scream ( no offense to the blazing hot Björk set by DJ Greg Haus ) , she handed me a pair of earplugs. Sail on, silver girl; you're my 'bridget' over troubled waters.

This is going to be an insane week and I need to make sure you know of all the things you must do. Well, you don't have to, but I strongly recommend you do in my capacity as bar pimp.

Gay Idol hits two locales this week: Tuesday at Jackhammer and Thursday at The Closet. Come cheer on your fav crooner ( or see the new Sanjaya ) .

You simply 'musto' pop in to Sidetrack on Wednesday night to see Michael Musto sign books and otherwise amuse the crowd.

See page 30 for a full listing of events celebrating 10 years of Foozie. She'll be our cover girl next week.

Saturday night, get all hot and leathered at Touché for their 'Leather Eye For the Preppy Guy' makeover contest. Or if that's not your milleu, Circuit's Nitro will rock the house ( or house the rock, as the case may be ) .
