You Just Can Not Make This Up
Our good friends Miss Judy B Good and Paino Man Paul Thomas for the past 10 years have been selling out their cabaret show at the Hollander Hotel in St. Pete. The shows go 1 to 2 hours long. This past week it was a sold-out show again. Half way thru the show a guy stood up at the bar and walked up to Judy, who was performing. He actually said “Are you done with this nonsense now? Just stop! I want to watch the Kentucky Derby on the TV.” Judy replied that the sold-out room had all come to hear them perform. Maybe he could go to the outside bar and watch TV there. The crowed gave him a big booooo.

Who would ban Betty White in Florida???
The Escambia County Public School district in Florida has banned the book “That’s Betty: The Story of Betty White” The children’s picture book features a character with two dads. Under the “Don’t Say Gay” law this book is banned!!! We can only hope the republicans feel safer now.

“For the Love of Desi” Fundraiser
You Just Can Not Make This Up
This week Tampa Mayor Jane Castor was sworn in for her 2nd term. This reminded us about when Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn was 1st sworn in at the Tampa Convention Center in 2011. The room was packed with 100’s of people there. Then a choir started to sing in the back of the room. In single file they came a strutting, clamping hands, singing in the room. Then all of a sudden, we noticed a very tall guy in the choirs. It was Drag Queen Wanda out of drag!!! As she walked past us Wanda put her finger over her mouth and said shuu don’t tell anyone. LMAO She really could sing too!!! A couple of years later Wanda was murdered in Tampa. They even made a TV show about the killing. But on that day, we saw a different side of Wanda, that many didn’t know about.
