My newest Bartender Spotlight is on one of those star bartenders at The Phoenix.  Jeff Seaver is hospitality … [Read more...] about Bartender Spotlight

Moments in Queer New Orleans History: Remembering Donnie Jay

September 14, 2022 By Frank Perez

I recently attended the annual Hookers Ball.  It was a fun evening and a very successful fundraiser for Southern Decadence.  Kudos to Todd Blauvelt for putting together such a wonderful event.  While the performances were great and it was fun seeing friends, the highlight of the show for me was a vintage video of Southern Decadence Grand Marshal XXXII, the late … [Read more...] about Moments in Queer New Orleans History: Remembering Donnie Jay

Drag Queen Profile: Passion Armani Cassadine

September 12, 2022 By Frank Perez

Where are you originally from?  I am very proud to say that I am a true New Orleanian from birth! How long have you been doing Drag?

I did it more regularly and was in … [Read more...] about Drag Queen Profile: Passion Armani Cassadine

Before Southern Decadence Became Super Gay

September 2, 2022 By Frank Perez

I recently spent the afternoon with Maureen & Charlie Block and Robert Laurent at their beautiful antebellum home on Magazine Street.  Those names may not ring a bell, but they should.  These three people, along with a handful of their friends, started Southern Decadence in 1972. Back then, of course, they had no idea a simple house party would evolve into the … [Read more...] about Before Southern Decadence Became Super Gay

Trodding the Boards August 23, 2022

August 24, 2022 By Brian Sands

Gay Appreciation Critics’ Choice Award Blame it on Covid brain or just because we got out of the routine after no Gay Appreciation Awards (GAAs) since 2019, but I and my colleague Tony Leggio neglected to bestow a Critics’ Choice Award on any production from the past year or so at the recent GAAs.
