Broadway Bares 2007


All I have to say is 'Pole Dancing Amazons are HOT'.

I guess I should give a little explanation for my friends from other lands, well basically anyone outside of New York City really.

Broadway Bares is a yearly 2 show fundraiser. A week before gay pride. Held at the Roseland Ballroom. All of you familiar with the Black Party here in NYC will know the space.

The event is a fundraiser for Broadway Equity Fights AIDS. Over the years they have raised millions of dollars. I do believe this year was a record. Somewhere in the area of $900,000.

Back to what the show is; it is really a big burlesque show featuring all the dancers and singers from the current and some past Broadway shows. Celebrities get in on the act too.

This years theme was Greek Mythology. They strayed quite a bit into Roman and so forth but no one cared, you were there for the show.
And remember as working actors on Broadway/Off Broadway everyone had their regular shows to do and then also rehearse adn preform two different shows Sunday night after their own show closed Sunday afternoon.

Zeus and Hera (David Hyde Pierce and Bebe Neuwirth) were great. I actually saw him in this event two years ago when he was on stage with Spamalot. Bebe can show up anytime because she is legendary and the peole go CRAZY before she even cracks a joke.

All the numbers will be sexy, funny, dirty and some are just plain hot; my amazons.
Sorry, I just can't find any picture of the Amazon number. It was like the third one in the show but no pics from anyone but I will keep looking.

The music was fantastic. I always leave with a new playlist in my head.

This is much better than the first one I saw. I guess it just keeps getting better.
I will say this, for all I just described I really told you nothing. If you can get to NYC around that third Sunday, the start of Gay Pride then come and see the show and really experience something that not many get to see. 9:30 and midnight shows.

I want to thank my friend, Steve, for taking me along with his extra ticket. All I did was call and see if we were going to beer blast and he said no we were going to Broadway Bares at midnight.
Can't beat it, well unless they ask you to.
Be good.

Just had to be noted.

So if you were in NYC for the last 2 days you may have seen the news about the Eastside madam who was arrested Monday or Tuesday. Funny thing is they arrested her at her apartment which happens to be across the street from me.(#2 in picture above). Now if you remember from a few weeks ago Governor Spitzer resigned his office and that is also just caddy corner to my building over on 3rd avenue.(#1 in picture above). There is word that this Madam had the black book that had the former Gov. and many others in it. She says she doesn't. I guess we will find out. Funny to to me though that in the picture above he basically could have walked over with a nice appointment after he resigned just a half a block away. PS: Was in a hurry to post so don't yell at me for the crude numbers on the pictures. Haha.

Go Mama Go

So back from walking around DC a little bit and thought I would tell you about this little store we visited along the way. Go Mama Go . It is actually quite a big shop and it is full of housing stuff. Giving you everything from plates and glasses to tea services; photos to note cards. Anything you can think of in a gift shop type of store you can find. It wasn't so much the store that impressed me, even though it had alot of nice stuff, but it was the owner who I heard about that really had me thinking. Noi Chudnoff, a very sweet Thailand-born woman, is owner along with her husband. I did not meet him because he was not in the store at the time. What impressed me so much, aside from her serious business sense; you could feel it coming from her, was her commitment to the GLBT community. She has floats and does the DC Pride each year and is a very big supporter both emotionally and financially to the DC GLBT groups. From what I understand it was her knowledge of the persecution ...
