Showgirls with Commentary by Matthew McGee!
JOIN US AT THE NEW Metro Facilities for this fantastic event!
Dust off your glittery g-strings for a hilarious screening of the 1995 film SHOWGIRLS. Actor/drag artist and film buff Matthew McGee will be offering hilarious commentary and encouraging audience participation throughout the evening as we raise money for TIGLFF with all the class and style of Nomi Malone in her brand new Versace party dress.
Audience members are encouraged to dress in their raunchiest, leopard print, see-through nighties or glam it up in sequined costumes that would give Cristal Conners a run for her money. McGee’s popular cinema series has sold out numerous venues with screenings of cult classics like FRIGHT NIGHT, CREEPSHOW, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and GREMLINS. Book NOW as seats for these events go very fast.
SHOWGIRLS is an MGM release that tells the classic story of a young woman, Nomi Malone (Elizabeth Berkley), who dreams of being a dancer under the bright lights of the Las Vegas skyline. Catching the glittering eye of Stardust Casino’s showgirl superstar Cristal Conners (Gina Gershon), Nomi sees the opportunity for her desire to become real. But there is only room for one star on the marquee as the battle of the showgirls begins.
Joining you on this romp to Sin City is Tampa Bay’s favorite clown in a gown, The Marvelous Mrs. McGee (3-time Best of the Bay Winner – Best Local Drag Performer)
And in October join us for the new Documentary “You Don’t Nomi”
Paul Verhoeven’s Showgirls (1995) was met by critics and audiences with near universal derision. You Don’t Nomi traces the film’s redemptive journey from notorious flop to cult classic, and maybe even masterpiece.
You Just Can Not Make This Up
One day there was a 20 something girl sitting at the bar. She was staring at her big purse on the bar and looked upset. I asked if her drink was OK. She said Yes that she was just very mad. Of course, I asked mad about what? She told me that she had just found out that her purse was a fake!!!! With a laugh I asked her…. How did you find that out? “My girlfriend told me that if your boyfriend goes to the Bahamas with out you and brings you back a purse IT IS A FAKE!!!” I though to my self HUM…. TRUE & Wonder now you thanked him for that $20 purse???? LMAO

Ray’s Moving to Ybor City?
The whispers around Ybor City and in downtown Tampa are saying the Ray’s will be coming to Ybor City.
What?? We heard this same claim 18 months ago . Ray’s moving to the GaYBOR District in Ybor City.
The window of opportunity were closed after the $1 Billion baseball complexwas proposed. Since then the St Petersburg leaders cinched the idea and so did the Ray’s Baseball group, in public.
The empty space that was presented to the Ray’s is still available.We did know that the rents went sky high for a 6 month period. Now coming back to affordable rent. But if the Ray’s do plan on looking at Ybor City, what will happen next.
A new proposal brought to the Hillsborough County Board of Commissioners Meeting by Comm Ken Hagan yesterday have a proposal for an Entertainment AND Ray’s Baseball Center. And guess where? That is correct in the GaYBOR District in the southside of Ybor City.
It was just over 6 weeks ago the ownership of the Rays proposed splitting the annual season between Montreal & Tampa Bay area. No more specifics have been sent out. St Pete leaders have said nothing!
We will just have to see how the new whispers will pan out.
