You Can Not Make this Up.

Posted on November 4, 2014 by admin

The year was 1997. MC Film was located on Kennedy Blvd. in Tampa. Mark had just walked in with a Domino Pizza. There was Manny Alveraz. the promoter of Mecca Ballroom and Alan Kahana, the owner of the infamous looking night club, the Castle. Over simple fun conversation during the impromptu pizza party an party theme idea came up.

The new English atomically correct Billy Doll craze was just hitting Tampa Bay. We planned the official Tampa Bay “coming out” party for celebrity doll, Billy. That night there was a huge line waiting for the doors to open. Inside there was a benefit for the MC Arts Foundation. The Gay Youth Foundation was set up by Mark & Carrie giving Tampa Bay GLBT Youth a chance to experience positive GLBT events that included Gay Days at Disney, TBPAC Broadway and Jobsite Tickets, Entry to Lowery Park Zoo, Busch Gardens and the Rainbow Youth Prom.

The MEN of MECCA dancers were dressed in Billy costume wear. Billy doll Give-Aways, best chest contest, bring your Billy Doll for a free drink. All hosted by Miss Stephanie Shippae and South Beach’s DJ Rick Mitchell. The party was in full swing when all of a sudden Manny walked up and said “Your not going to believe what is going on outside!!!”

We walked outside and there were ALL the Local TV stations shooting LIVE!! After giving TV interviews we all walked back inside and toasted a drink to an idol doll,Billy. OMG!!!!

* Note he later had a Latin Boy Doll Friend named Carlos. He too was big with the junk! Local talk show radio station did a live morning show all about Billy, the doll.

Benefit at Jobsite Theater for Ybor Youth Clinic

http://www.jobsitetheater.org/vampire-lesbians-of-sodom/

Hello all,

I wanted to remind you of an upcoming fundraiser to benefit the Ybor Youth Clinic!

We all remember last year when Jobsite Theater dedicated their production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch to the YYC. We received $10 from the sale of each ticket and generated $1,000 to support our cause, while having a great night out! Well, they’re at it again this November and I invite all of you to join us for their November 7^th performance of “Vampire Lesbians of Sodom.”

One of the longest running plays in Off-Broadway history, Vampire Lesbians of Sodom tells the saga of two fatally seductive vampiresses, a virgin sacrifice (Coco & Homo’s Zachary Hines) and her maker (veteran Jobsiteer Summer Bohnenkamp), whose paths first collide in ancient Sodom. Their bitter rivalry endures for nearly two thousand years with stops along the way in 1920’s silent movie Hollywood and contemporary Las Vegas. Moving between histrionics of classic horror cinema and the cheerful nastiness of the backstage melodrama of manners All About Eve, Vampire Lesbians sparkles with spectacle, homage and double entendre.

Jobsite’s production of Vampire Lesbians of Sodom features live music and burlesque/cabaret-style interludes under the music direction of J. Elijah Cho. Expect unique takes on traditional and contemporary song and dance, and a range of exotically silly acts that could range from fire-breathing to a chair dance.

“Busch makes it very clear that this was never meant to be performed as a traditional play but as a burlesque,” offers director David M. Jenkins. “We’re already putting together a list of possible songs and crazy skills the cast has so that as soon as we begin rehearsals we can play as an ensemble and see what shakes out.”

Some of Jobsite’s most successful and memorable productions have been focused around Halloween – from last year’s Macbeth to the monochromatic musical Gorey Stories to Clive Barker’s History of the Devil. Fans of last year’s season opener, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, will certainly not want to miss this drag-tastic romp of a burlesque that also features Spencer Meyers, who played Hedwig, as a vampire hunter hot on the heels of our heroines.
