THE AMSTERDAM RAINBOW DRESS VISITS AUSTRALIA
The monumental Amsterdam Rainbow Dress artwork has made its first visit to Australia to shine a light on the human rights issues affecting the global LGBTQIA+ community, ahead of the Sydney WorldPride Human Rights Conference in March 2023.
Created in the Netherlands by Mattijs van Bergen, Arnout van Krimpen, Jochem Kaan and Oeri van Woezik, the dress is made from the national flags of the 71 countries where it is still illegal to be LGBTQI+ on penalty of imprisonment, torture or death. https://www.amsterdamrainbowdress.com/

Miss Tampa Pride 2023 Hazel Ember Genevieve
THIS FRIDAY & Saturday at Southern Nights Ybor City
Across the Universe (2007)
At a Tampa Pride meeting a group of us were talking about our all-time favorite movie. John said “Across the Universe”. I had forgotten how good this was. It is a story put to the Beatles Music. We are planning on watching again soon. Now on HBO
The Big Gay Radio Show
YES TAMPA
After much controversy. The Kolter Urban has redesigned the facades of ONE Tampa to reflect the 1920s building currently on the site so its 55-story condo tower can move forward

We all reach an age where the cheater eye glasses are needed. Everyone know that the best place to buy these is at The Dollar Store. I was getting tired of my friends walking off with my glasses. LMAO At the Dollar Store I picked up 20 pairs. Standing in line I looked down at my basket, full of eye glasses and thought what if they say something? Sure thing, the child at the register smiled and said “That’s a lot of eye glasses.” I had a plan and said back “Yes there are a lot. I am using them for party favors at a 40th Birthday Party.” She said “What a great idea. I bet you could do this for a 30th Birthday too.” LMAO LMAO

Meet Two Tampa Pride Super Stars
April Cormier
April is an unsung hero. She is in charge of Special Events in Tampa. Every year April works hard on the logistics of all the city’s major events including Tampa Pride Festival and Parade. There are dozens of City groups like Police, Fire, Garbage, Traffic, Parks and more that she effortlessly coordinates together. Thank you, April!!!!
Tiffany Bolt
Tampa Pride and The Cuban Club are so very lucky to have Tiffany!!! She is like the Den Mother to a group of wild kids. Keeping us all together and on track at the Cuban Club. Behind the scenes at “Tampa Pride at Night” there is always something that comes up. Tiffany is the person who reminds me of a Duck floating on the water. To all of us she is very cool, smiling and floating. Below the water her feet are moving so fast. This way and that way to make everything look so smooth and graceful. Big (((HUGS)) to our Tiffany!
The C House
Every month we like to try a new restaurant on date night. This past week we visited the C House https://www.facebook.com/the.c.house.tampa . Our good friends Chris and Jim have been raving about this place. Everything here on the menu begins with a “C”. My Carrie’s name begins with a C too. No he is not on the menu you naughty kids!!! LMAO Originally it was for Champagne, Charcuterie & Cheese Cake. At Happy Hour they have a Charcuterie Board for $14. It really would have been enough for us but we added Canadian French Fries and Crusted Ahi Tuna. It was date night so YES we had the homemade Cheese Cake. OMG it was SO HUGE and the Best we ever had. We both agreed it would be fun to stop for a glass of wine and share a slice of Cheese Cake!!!! BUT the BEST PART and to our Surprise Stone Pilkenton is a manager here!!!! Stone has worked for many years in Ybor City and is a favorite of all of us! Congratulations Stone. The C House is lucky to have you. We will be back soon!!!!

You Just Can Not Make This Up
A legendary Drag Diva was very ill. Shortly before her passing the community had a fundraiser for her. The community and generous club owner made a large donation to her cause. She was most thankful of all the love and made her feel very honored. She was worried that someone would steal the cash so she hid it. After her passing the administrator of her estate looked and looked for the money but did not find it. They did all the right things and closed the banking account, turned the utilities off &, &, &. Then they went to the post office to close her mail box. There on the bottom of the mailbox, under the mail, to their surprise, was an envelope with the cash in it. For years this was her hiding place for cash. You Just Can Not Make This Up.
